Xue Jing cocked his head, asking:

"This thing is used to help people increase their skills, right? The best user would be someone whose skills have already reached their own limit, with no room for improvement... It might be useful to me, but not 'very useful,' right?"

Wu Youqing shook her head: "You know only one aspect, not the other."

"GOD-508 can only work once for anyone; after that, it has no effect."

"And to maximize its effect, there are two ways to use it."

She raised her right hand, extending her index and middle finger, showing the number two.

"The first is exactly as you said, to break through the limit of a peak skill that can no longer be improved and elevate it further."

"The second is to enhance one's talents."

Xue Jing's eyes lit up.

"Talents?"

Wu Youqing nodded: "Exactly."

"Just place it on your head, do nothing for three days... or rather, don't deliberately do anything, remain in a lazy and relaxed state, but keep thinking about practicing a certain thing in your mind."

"After three days, the bamboo shoots will grow, and at the top of the Hundred Feet Pole's Top, the talent for the thing you were contemplating will be increased."

Xue Jing sat up straight, raising an eyebrow: "There's such a way to use it?"

"Why didn't Void Blade mention it when she brought up the commission?"

Xue Jing was a bit puzzled.

If it had been mentioned that the Hundred Feet Pole's Top had this use, his level of interest would have skyrocketed by more than tenfold, greatly increasing the likelihood of accepting the commission.

Wu Youqing smiled: "It's simple, because she didn't know."

"The Hundred Feet Pole's Top is a very important Divine Relic; only members who have performed great feats get the chance to use it as a reward... A squad leader of Void Blade's level doesn't qualify to know the details of the Hundred Feet Pole's Top."

Xue Jing seemed to understand.

Wu Youqing continued: "The one who actually extended the commission to you wasn't Void Blade, but her superior... or rather, it wasn't truly a commission extended to you, but to me."

"The upper echelons of White Crow consider you to be one of my people, so the [Hundred Feet Pole's Top] was actually meant to win me over."

Her tone was very calm, her lips curled with a strange smile.

After listening, Xue Jing's mind flickered with inspiration, quickly clarifying the relationships involved.

The commission, while seemingly offered by Void Blade, was actually put forth by the upper echelons of White Crow to Wu Youqing.

That's why the White Crow side would offer the Hundred Feet Pole's Top, a reward clearly of significant weight, not to sway him, but to appeal to Wu Youqing, the wealthy and imposing boss...

So the White Crow upper echelon didn't bother explaining the specific functions of the Hundred Feet Pole's Top to Void Blade, because as long as this reward was given, Wu Youqing would naturally understand what it meant.

All this time, he just wasn't considered significant enough in others' eyes to use a Divine Relic of such caliber...

Xue Jing found it somewhat amusing; he wasn't frustrated by being underestimated, but thought it was only natural—this logic was correct, for he indeed hadn't shown the ability to be highly valued yet.

"In that case..."

Xue Jing looked at the young woman in front of him, an idea occurring to him.

"White Crow might very well have other candidates capable of exploring the Intersecting Boundaries."

"The reason they had Void Blade come to me, offering the Hundred Feet Pole's Top as a reward, its real purpose..."

"Isn't about 'not bowing to Cease-Blades' at all, but rather, they're taking the opportunity to curry favor with the lady in front of me..."

Xue Jing looked at Wu Youqing, who had that strange smile tugging at her lips, and sighed internally.

"These big shots, the way they communicate is just too circuitous..."
