George himself already possessed several powerful healing spells, though none as outrageous as the Dual Hands.
He believed that if he mastered the Dual Hands to perfection, then fused them with his own restorative magic, soul-control sorcery, and necromancy—he could achieve sothing beyond imagination.
Not just restoring flesh and reviving the dead; as long as a soul wasn't trapped or reincarnated, he could bring it back.
Even if the body were gone entirely, he could place the soul into a new vessel—either a replacent body or an artificial magical construct. That wouldn't be a problem at all.
"Well then, the deal is done. Now behave yourself and keep out of trouble!"
With the Dual Hands in his possession, George no longer had any reason to linger with Qu Tong. He vanished instantly through teleportation.
When Qu Tong awoke, clutching her head, her silver teeth clenched in rage. Fury filled her heart, yet she could do nothing.
Soone like Jin Baobao was not an enemy she could afford to provoke.
"This man is definitely no gentleman!"
Now she finally understood. Jin Baobao had his own bottom line—he would not seize techniques by brute force. Yet he was by no ans a righteous man either.
She even suspected that Ma Xianhong's sudden defection to the Company, which had led to a massive force being dispatched to capture her, might sohow be tied to Jin Baobao.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? He appeared, and imdiately her life fell into peril, forcing her to rely on his aid.
"Investigate where we are now."
Qu Tong looked up at the sky, frowning as a vague unease welled up inside her.
One of her subordinates pulled out a device, fiddled with it for a while, and scratched his head.
"It seems… we're on a small island near New York."
anwhile, George had already reappeared in Jia Family Village, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, at the Jia Family Martial Arts School.
For those espers under Qu Tong, that desolate island wouldn't kill them, but returning ho would certainly take a long ti. That was his little punishnt for her.
Bear his child? In her dreams.
He had co to Jia Family Village for their unique art of Object Manipulation. Once mastered, and combined with his ability to control tals, his physical attack power would reach its peak.
At present, George had already acquired six of the Eight Miraculous Skills, lacking only Liuku Immortal Thief and Great Luo Cave Insight.
Great Luo Cave Insight was especially intriguing. It wasn't rely undetectable by tracking spells—even divination yielded only vague results.
Its creator, Gu Jiting, once besieged by sorcerer sects, suddenly vanished into thin air, never to reappear. No one knew where he had gone.
The leader of that siege, Hutuo, went mad not long afterward.
Based on his accumulated knowledge, George concluded that Great Luo Cave Insight was a Daoist art capable of constructing artificial Qi formations, much like Master Ziyang's creation of the Twenty-Four Seasonal Valleys.
Gu Jiting's disappearance might have been because he transford into a Qi formation himself, rging with heaven and earth. That would explain why divination could not locate him.
As for Hutuo's madness, most likely his inner Qi formation had been forcibly altered by Gu Jiting.
If he had the chance to acquire Great Luo Cave Insight, George would take it. If not, he could use Master Ziyang's legacy and his grasp of this world's arts to create a comparable system himself.
The last technique, Liuku Immortal Thief, was created by Ruan Feng, who was currently hiding on Nassen Island.
Liuku Immortal Thief represented the pinnacle of body cultivation, capable of forging a near-immortal body with monstrous regenerative power.
Also known as the "Saintly Thief," the "Liuku" referred to the body's six visceral organs—the six reservoirs that absorbed energy.
By perfecting this system, one could build an unparalleled digestive cycle that instantly decomposed ingested material, converting nutrients directly into Qi.
Feng Baobao's immortality largely stemd from Liuku Immortal Thief, though when combined with the other Miraculous Skills, it had undergone a unique transformation and beco even more flawless.
George himself had no interest in immortality—he had already transcended death.
But the ability of Liuku Immortal Thief to devour the vitality of heaven and earth to endlessly strengthen the body—that deeply fascinated him.
In this world, resources worth devouring were scarce. Absorbing espers was the highest-grade option, but it also risked psychological instability.
Yet he possessed countless avatars across countless worlds. The treasures he could consu with Liuku Immortal Thief in the future were limitless.
For instance, devouring the dragons of Fairy Tail's northern continent alone would vastly amplify his physique.
And if he opened the Eclipse Gate as planned, releasing ten thousand dragons from the past and consuming them all, his body would undergo a transformation beyond imagination.
Not to ntion the Celestial embryos slumbering on Earth in Marvel's main universe, or Star-Lord's true father Ego, and many, many more.
But before negotiating with Ruan Feng, George needed to master the Dual Hands. Only then could he resolve Ruan Feng's psychological afflictions.
From Qu Tong's mories, he had learned many hidden truths—among them the history of Nassen Island and Trinity Gate. So were quite interesting.
Since Nassen Island had not yet opened, this period was the perfect chance for him to collect more Daoist arts and refine the techniques he had already gained.
Once the island opened, he would settle everything in one fell swoop.
After staying an hour in Jia Family Village and securing the Jia clan's Object Manipulation art through trade, George left fully satisfied.
Later, using tracking and divination, he located mbers of Quanxing. Through soul-searching, he obtained their techniques—especially the one he valued most, "Borrowing."
A month later, he arrived at the Lu family and t Lu Jin, from whom he acquired the Reverse Life Triple Layers.
The trade's condition was exactly as he expected: help Lu Jin find the root cause behind Trinity Gate's destruction—Li Muxuan.
From Qu Tong's mories, George already knew the whole story of Trinity Gate, and that Li Muxuan was hiding on Nassen Island.
This was why he hadn't rushed earlier. Now, with the trade in place, he could take care of everything at once.
During the month George spent collecting techniques from various sects and comprehending the Eight Miraculous Skills, a new avatar of his was born.
In Zaun, the undercity of Piltover, a filthy river ran through the slums.
Receiving the mories, George's new self slowly opened his eyes.
The polluted waters split apart as his new body surged out of the river, landing on a rickety wooden dock.
"Piltover… Zaun… This is the world of League of Legends?"
This new body was that of an eleven-year-old boy nad Sier, an orphan of Zaun's undercity.
His parents had died years earlier in the Battle of the Piltover Bridge. He had survived by begging, later turning to theft. But after inhaling toxic chem-fus, he was poisoned and died in the sewage river.
From Sier's mories, George quickly recalled an ani he had seen in his past life—Arcane. That in turn reminded him of the related ga, League of Legends.
"This is a powerful world… and one brimming with magical energy."
Just looking at Piltover and Zaun as depicted in Arcane, the strength didn't seem overwhelming.
But when extended to the broader world, the scale was entirely different.
Though he had only played the ga casually, George still possessed so understanding of the vast universe it belonged to.
