If the Treasure of the Myriad Heavens Ye Xuan obtained was the Wang Quan Sword, then he had no reason to insist on wearing the attire of Wang Quan Baye, as compared to Wang Quan Baye, Wang Quan Fugui's power was stronger and, to some extent, had better Compatibility with the Wang Quan Sword.
But without Ye Xuan's confirmation, she could not rule out that possibility either.
Now, it could finally be confirmed.
It was just unknown whether the Template Ye Xuan obtained was from Wang Quan Baye before entering Outside the Circle or after entering Outside the Circle.
If it was before entering Outside the Circle, although he lacked Sword Intent, having the Sword Heart meant he could retreat safely from the Demon Emperor while wielding the Wang Quan Sword.
But if it was after entering Outside the Circle, even if he later forcibly comprehended Wang Quan Sword Intent, holding the Wang Quan Sword made him one of the strongest Humans Tushan Honghong had ever seen in her life; even if he could confront the Demon Emperor head-on for a short time, his standing in Su Mengyao's heart was still inferior to the former.
To gain a character's power from a Template, the holder needs to align their State of Mind with the character itself.
The youthful Wang Quan Baye was spirited and unrestrained, a free and easy Swordsman who roamed about dispensing justice; Ye Xuan, being a youth as well, would find it easier to increase his Compatibility with the Template.
However, the elderly Wang Quan Baye experienced too much pain; without similar experiences, it was basically impossible for his State of Mind to align with the Template, making it difficult to gain power from it.
She really wanted to ask, but judging by Ye Xuan's expression, even if she asked, he probably wouldn't tell her; moreover, they couldn't offer Ye Xuan any help in this regard, so asking was pointless.
As for the idea that he could obtain the full power of the Template without considering Compatibility, she had never considered that.
Because the only reference holder for a Myriad Heavens Character Template in the entire World was Elder Zhong; it was the same for the Morax Template, and presumably for other Templates as well.
"Great Xia currently has thirty-five holders of Treasures of the Heavens; twenty-three of them are Ability Users of Devil Fruits, three are holders of Zanpakutō, seven have Awakened God's Eyes, and two are holders of the Eight Wonders."
"There are currently only two holders of Myriad Heavens Character Templates: one is Elder Zhong, and the other is you."
"But this is what we know; there are still many holders of Treasures of the Heavens and Myriad Heavens Character Templates that we are unaware of."
"However, we already have many suspects, but we cannot confirm whether they are Ability Users or holders of Treasures of the Heavens."
It couldn't be helped; although the power of the national machinery was strong, regarding Ability and Treasures of the Heavens, as long as the power level did not exceed the current maximum achievable by Ability Users, they could not confirm if the person was a holder of a Treasure of the Heavens.
And those who wished to hide themselves, even if they revealed their abilities in front of others because they wanted to show off, would not reveal too much power, making complete certainty impossible.
But they would definitely come to visit them for confirmation later.
"Eight Wonders."
"Can you tell me which two of the Eight Wonders they are?"
Ye Xuan felt indifferent towards Devil Fruits, Zanpakutō, and even God's Eyes, because these basically originated from the Mutation of Fruits and Figures, making their authenticity too obvious to be surprising.
Although powerful, it was not easy to develop their power; it required a long time.
However, the Eight Wonders, although they didn't seem very powerful in the Anime due to the Worldview, their essence was extremely high, suspected to be the ultimate manifestation of some kind of system.
The power they could exert in reality would definitely be stronger than in the Anime.
If there was a holder of "Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements," he would quite like them to refine a Magic Treasure in the shape of the "Wang Quan Sword."
Even if it wasn't as good as the real Wang Quan Sword, it should at least be better than the one in his hand.
Although it was gifted by the System and could be considered a Magic Treasure among Fox Spirits, this type of Magic Treasure was mass-produced; if he used his full strength, it probably couldn't even withstand one blast of "Heaven and Earth One Sword."
It would be best if someone could strengthen it for him.
"I'm sorry, due to the special nature of their abilities, I cannot tell you unless they agree."
Su Mengyao shook her head; she could mention Devil Fruits, but she couldn't disclose anything about Zanpakutō, God's Eyes, or the Eight Wonders.
She did not have that authorization.
"If not, then forget it."
The one in his hand would suffice for now, and the time until the next Fishing Attempt wasn't far off; his System binding was at the end of the month.
Huh? Speaking of which, besides the initial bonus Fishing Attempt, shouldn't I have one more?
Shouldn't the first month also grant one?
Ye Xuan checked his personal panel; yep, there wasn't one. It seemed the System would only grant Fishing Attempts starting next month.
It was a pity the System wasn't intelligent; otherwise, he might have been able to argue with it and get back one Fishing Attempt.
"Since that's the case, Student Ye Xuan, would you like to look at our terms and join our Tianshu..."
"No."
Before Su Mengyao could even finish speaking, Ye Xuan's refusal echoed in the air.
The scene immediately fell silent.
Su Mengyao looked at Ye Xuan speechlessly, her eyes holding a hint of helplessness.
Couldn't he wait for her to finish?
Moreover, why were all these holders of Treasures of the Heavens refusing so decisively?
Was their "Tianshu Bureau" some kind of plague?
They needed to know that they offered official positions! Do you know how many people try to squeeze their way into civil service exams every year?
It's just that those people haven't Awakened Abilities; if they did, I would still come to invite you.
After all, there is simply no comparison in terms of strength between a mere Ability User and a holder of a Treasure of the Heavens.
She took a deep breath, striving to calm herself, and said in a gentle tone:
"Student Ye Xuan, could you at least listen to my terms first?"
Ye Xuan shrugged and made a "please proceed" gesture, indicating for her to continue speaking.
Su Mengyao adjusted her emotions and began to explain in detail.
"If you are willing to join the Tianshu Bureau, first, we will provide you with ample financial support, including but not limited to Cultivation Resources, various training equipment, and living subsidies."
"Secondly, you can enjoy national-level welfare benefits, such as housing allocation, medical security, and even special care for your family members."
"Furthermore, if the Scientific Research Institute develops any technology or equipment useful to you, you will have priority in using it."
"On this point, I believe you can trust Great Xia's research capabilities; we have already begun researching Spiritual Energy. Although we haven't figured out its principles, we have developed quite a few Spiritual Energy-related devices based on its properties."
"In the Future, we will certainly be able to research even more."
"Things like Elixirs, Gene agents, and Magic Treasures will also be provided by the state in the Future."
"And all you need to do is eliminate some Mutated Creatures that appear in the cities when we need you to."
As she spoke, she carefully observed Ye Xuan's expression, only to find no fluctuation on his face, not even the slightest change in his eyes.
Seeing this, Su Mengyao knew it was impossible to get Ye Xuan to join.
