Looking at Zhou Feng's departing back, Zhou Huai showed no wavering.
Perhaps this old man had his own unspeakable difficulties, but the current Zhou Huai could not forgive this man's actions on behalf of the original owner.
To put it harshly, if it weren't for this man's coldness and heartlessness, the original owner would not have died of depression.
Old butler Fu Bo walked in.
He had heard their conversation outside clearly.
"Young Master, perhaps you... should still have a good talk with the Old Master?"
Fu Bo's voice carried a hint of hesitation and persuasion.
"After all, you are still a mber of the Zhou Family."
Zhou Huai waved his hand, interrupting him: "Fu Bo, there's no need to discuss this matter further."
"I need you to do sothing for now."
Fu Bo's expression beca serious, and he respectfully said: "Young Master, please instruct."
Zhou Huai said: "Take the Crystal Card that Young Miss Ye Xi gave you and go rent a few houses."
"The locations should be scattered, the environnt can be ordinary, but it must be quiet and convenient for access."
"Most importantly, rember to be discreet."
"Don't expose any of our information, and don't let anyone trace it back to that I asked you to rent them."
Although Fu Bo was puzzled, he had always carried out the Young Master's orders without questioning the reasons.
"This old servant understands."
He nodded, asked no more questions, and turned to leave.
Zhou Huai watched Fu Bo's retreating figure, already having a plan in mind.
This was preparation for a rainy day.
His Clones were destined to appear in various guises in the future.
Each powerful Clone needed its own independent persona and background.
Naturally, they also needed their own "residences."
This way, even if a certain Clone beca famous in the future, was tracked, or continuously monitored, they would only trace the Clone's fabricated identity and residence, and would not easily implicate his main body.
After all, the current main body was too weak to withstand any storms.
When he had more Clones and their strength was sufficient, he could arrange for a Clone to constantly protect him in the shadows.
As for now, it was best to develop discreetly and improve his strength.
After making all these arrangents, Zhou Huai once again turned his attention to Yasuo in the Trial Tower.
At this mont, under the control of the Smart Core AI, Yasuo's combat skills had beco increasingly refined.
Every move he made was filled with the aura of a Great Master of the Sword Dao.
Amidst the surging hordes of Strange Beast, he was like a swift bolt of lightning, slaughtering them madly.
Wherever his sword light passed, the Strange Beast fell one after another.
The most crucial point was that other Professional, after prolonged high-intensity combat, would inevitably feel fatigued, with their ntal Energy and Physicality greatly depleted, requiring rest and replenishnt.
But Yasuo didn't need any of that!
The formidable Physique of an S-Class Profession, combined with the precise control of the AI, transford him into a tireless fighting machine.
As long as there were enemies, he could keep killing!
Seeing that everything was normal with Yasuo and progress was rapid, Zhou Huai once again returned his consciousness to his main body.
Yasuo didn't need rest, but his main body couldn't endure it.
Concentrating on the Clone for a long ti was also a drain on his energy.
Then, he lay down on the bed peacefully and fell into a deep sleep.
...
Zhou Huai slept exceptionally soundly this ti.
When he woke up again, the sky outside the window was already sowhat dim.
Looking at the electronic clock by the bed, the ti clearly showed: 5:13 PM.
"Hiss..."
Zhou Huai gasped.
"I actually slept for so long?"
He rembered that Zhou Feng had left around 11 AM.
He had slept for over six hours!
Zhou Huai muttered to himself, his brows tightly furrowed.
He didn't know when it started, but he felt that his sleep ti seed to be getting longer and longer.
Even though he had gotten enough sleep at night, he still occasionally felt tired and weak during the day, lacking energy.
This was not a good sign.
Zhou Huai frowned, lost in thought.
Could it be... the strange curse power on him?
This curse power was very peculiar.
It had confined his lower limbs, preventing him from standing or walking.
However, Zhou Huai could clearly feel the presence of his legs, and massaging the various Acupoints and muscles in his legs could still produce normal soreness.
But once he tried to gather strength to stand up, the curse power would instantly act up, making his efforts futile.
Now, this power seed not content with rely paralyzing his body.
Was it preparing to erode his spirit as well?
Zhou Huai's heart sank at the thought.
It seed he had to find a way to resolve the curse problem on him as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if his main body kicked the bucket before his Clones could grow, that would be a huge loss.
He shook his head, temporarily casting aside these distracting thoughts.
Zhou Huai closed his eyes, his consciousness once again connecting to Yasuo.
Instantly, a massive stream of information flooded into Zhou Huai's mind.
This was all of Yasuo's experiences and mories in the Trial Tower from when he fell asleep until now, which were now synchronizing with the main body.
In these short six-plus hours, Yasuo had swept through at an almost terrifying speed, successfully reaching the seventh floor of the Trial Tower!
At the sa ti, his Rank had also soared to LV5!
Zhou Huai imdiately pulled up Yasuo's attribute panel.
【Clone Panel (Yasuo)】
【Profession: Unique Hidden Profession, S-Class Thunder Sword Master】
【Rank: LV5 (750/2500)】
【Health Points: 450/450】
【Mana Points: 300/300】
【Strength: 110】
【Agility: 205】
【Stamina: 100】
【ntal Energy: 90】
【Skill List:】
【Passive Skill: Ride the Wind (Rank: LV1)】
【Skill 1 (Passive): Sharp Sword Intent - Self-Agility attribute increased by 100%. Normal attacks co with Lightning Power, dealing an additional 10% Lightning Damage to the target, and can spread to up to 5 surrounding enemy units, dealing 30% of attack power as splash damage.】

"Hiss—"
After looking at Yasuo's attributes, Zhou Huai couldn't help but gasp again.
As expected of an S-Class Profession!
At only Rank five, all attributes had already broken through three digits!
Especially Agility, which had directly soared to over two hundred points!
These attributes could probably already rival those B-Grade Professional around Rank fifteen!
Not to ntion the astonishing Agility, and the new active displacent and AOE skill learned at Rank five, 【Lightning Rush】.
With this skill, the small monsters on the seventh floor probably wouldn't even be able to touch Yasuo's clothes!
Zhou Huai then glanced at his main body's attribute panel at Rank five.
【Na: Zhou Huai】
【Profession: E-Grade Class Master】
【Rank: LV5 (20/1250)】
【Health Points: 120/120】
【Mana Points: 90/90】
【Strength: 15】
【Agility: 14】
【Stamina: 16】
【Spirit: 20】
【Active Skill: Create Clone (Rank: LV2)】
【Effect: Consus 10 Mana Points to create a Clone. Current Clone quantity limit: 2. Clone attributes are 50% of the main body's.】
【Note: Divine Rank Clone System has overwritten so effects.】
Zhou Huai's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
His main body had gained four Ranks, but the increase in various attributes was almost negligible, only a pitiful ten to twenty points.
The only highlight was that the 【Create Clone】 skill had risen to LV2, and the maximum number of Clones had beco two.
"Alas..."
Zhou Huai complained helplessly in his heart.
No wonder E-Grade Class were widely considered useless.
The gap between this and S-Class Profession was truly not just a little, it was a world of difference!
