Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution-Chapter 654 - Chapter Fan Skills
Lin Shen made another trip to the library, wanting to see if there was any Nirvana Land within the Celestial Race’s collections that was suitable for his needs.
Among the many Nirvana Lands, there were indeed quite a few with strong attributes, which could be quite good for undergoing Nirvana.
However, it was not easy to obtain a Nirvana Egg of the same attribute in Nirvana Lands with rare attributes, so for the time being, he wasn’t sure which one to choose.
Lin Shen roughly selected a few and found there were dozens of Nirvana Lands that met his preferences. He planned to see if he could acquire a suitable Nirvana Egg later.
Since he was there, Lin Shen decided to check out the skill rooms and planned to pick up a fan skill to practice.
Upon finding the fan category, he discovered that there were many sub-categories under fan skills. Lin Shen looked for the Folding Fan sub-category and started to flip through the books one by one.
"With the technology of the Celestial Race being so advanced, why don’t they have electronic versions? Flipping through these books one by one without intelligent filtering, I don’t know when I’ll ever finish," Lin Shen complained, but as he had nothing else to do, he slowly went through them one by one.
Although fan skills were a niche area, the universe was too vast. The collection of Folding Fan Skills here was still frighteningly extensive. After looking at some, Lin Shen realized that by just flipping through the initial moves, he could tell the quality of these skills and that it wasn’t necessary to read each book in full.
Lin Shen flipped through one book after another. Although some had distinctive techniques, most were repetitive tricks with no great value.
After browsing hundreds of books, not a single fan method had impressed Lin Shen.
"The techniques stored in the second-floor library of the Celestial Race aren’t all that special," Lin Shen silently critiqued internally.
The reality was that the skills he had practiced were all too top-tier, and his adversaries’ skills were similarly among the rarest top-tier techniques in the universe.
Having seen many good things, it became much harder to appreciate the lesser ones. To other smaller clans, these techniques would be dreamt-of divine skills.
"Why isn’t the Peacock Clan’s Peacock Display Fan Skill here?" Lin Shen looked around but did not find the fan skill he was interested in.
On second thought, even if it were here, Emperor Tianshu likely wouldn’t have placed the Heavenly Consort’s family skill out for others to view casually.
After flipping through another hundred or so books and still finding none that caught his eye, Lin Shen grew too lazy to continue looking. Your next read is at novelbuddy
After all, he didn’t rely on fans to defeat enemies. With blade techniques for defense and punches and fingers for offense, fan techniques were merely something he wanted to dabble in casually, so it didn’t matter if he didn’t have any.
Just as he was about to leave the second-floor entrance, he happened to see a familiar figure leaving the administrator’s desk.
It wasn’t so much the figure that was familiar, but the mosaic attire. Who else could appear in a place like this other than the Heavenly Consort?
"What’s the Heavenly Consort doing here? Borrowing books or returning them?" A thought crossed Lin Shen’s mind. He casually grabbed a fan skill book and then headed towards the counter.
Given that few could access the second level, there weren’t many borrowing or returning books, and there were only two books on the counter.
One book was the "Heavenly Heart Skill," and the other was the "Nine Heavens Mystic Wind Fan Skill."
The "Heavenly Heart Skill" was an internal version of the Celestial Race, not the kind of common material. Anything stored on this level was far from common.
However, seeing that fan skill book, Lin Shen knew that it must have been the Heavenly Consort who borrowed it.
After all, no matter how powerful the "Heavenly Heart Skill" was, the Heavenly Consort, who hailed from the Peacock Clan, would likely not practice it. It was very possible that she borrowed a fan skill, especially since the Peacock Clan was quite good at such skills.
"How come I couldn’t find this ’Nine Heavens Mystic Wind Fan Skill’ earlier, and why is it here?" Lin Shen picked up the fan skill manual, pretending to be surprised.
The librarian looked at him and said, "It just got returned not long ago, would you like to check it out as well?"
"Then I’ll borrow them together." Lin Shen registered and borrowed both fan skills to take back home.
Once home, Lin Shen tossed the randomly picked-up Butterfly Fan Skill aside and started reading the Nine Heavens Mystic Wind Fan Skill that the Heavenly Consort had checked out.
Upon starting, he realized that it was indeed different from the other fan skills he had glanced through before; it was a very powerful skill.
The skill comprised nine moves, each with its own extraordinary mystique, especially in the application of controlling the wind with the fan, which could be said to be quite ingenious.
Lin Shen was overjoyed, and it was just the right time to practice this fan skill. However, upon practicing, he realized that the Nine Heavens Mystic Wind Fan Skill was indeed difficult.
The various transformations were just too complex; although there were only nine moves, each had thousands of variations.
Just trying to remember all these variations was a huge effort for Lin Shen, and he had given up without even completing one move.
After all, fan skills were something he had only planned on practicing casually; he didn’t have the time or energy to fully commit to it.
With that time and energy, it would be better for him to practice his Finger Skill more, since the Finger Skill that could seal acupoints was his greatest reliance.
As for fan skills, even if he didn’t know them, relying on the Fan Dance’s ten moves to face an enemy wouldn’t pose too much of a problem.
Lin Shen put the Nine Heavens Mystic Wind Fan Skill to one side, saw the Butterfly Fan Skill he had tossed aside, and picked it up to flip through casually.

As expected, it was a rather common fan skill. Just by looking at the first few moves, he knew it was similar to many other fan skills and lacked any distinctive features.
Nevertheless, Lin Shen fought the urge to put it down and continued to flip through it.
If Emperor Tianshu heard about his borrowing the book returned by the Heavenly Consort, it might arouse his suspicion.
Maybe Lin Shen was overthinking it, but he’d rather overthink than not. If Emperor Tianshu were to investigate and he hadn’t even looked at the book he borrowed himself, but only at the Nine Heavens Mystic Wind Fan Skill returned by the Heavenly Consort, no matter how he explained it, Emperor Tianshu would likely remain suspicious.
To put on a complete act, Lin Shen not only planned to finish reading this Butterfly Fan Skill but also to practice it.
Initially, Lin Shen was just purposefully skimming through it, and indeed, there was nothing particularly outstanding about the earlier sections.
But as he read on, Lin Shen surprisingly discovered that this casually picked Butterfly Blade Technique harbored extremely exquisite moves that even he found amazing.
Compared to the earlier sections, the latter half of the Butterfly Fan Skill could simply be described as a divine technique.
"Wow, who created this fan skill? It’s so mundane in the beginning, but then suddenly it becomes miraculous later on." Lin Shen felt that the creator of the Butterfly Fan Skill must have had a dual personality; one personality had crafted the beginning, while another had crafted the latter part.
The difference between the earlier and later sections was like night and day. If Lin Shen hadn’t randomly brought it home and continued reading for a special reason, he probably wouldn’t have gone past the first few pages.
The more Lin Shen read, the more amazed he became. The latter half of the Butterfly Fan Skill was a masterpiece, and he wondered who had created such a skill. There was no information about the author in the book, not even a signature.
