8 Devil Fruit Versatility

As it still very early, Ye Xinghan returned quietly to his room and sneaked into the bed. He took a quick sleep to recover his energy from last night hunting.

After about 3 hours, he heard a knock, waking him up.

"Excuse me, young master." A maid entered the bedroom, bringing a complete set of breakfast.

Ye Xinghan sat on the bed while yawning. He wasn't that hungry after wolfing down a lot of food a night before, but in order to not arouse any suspicion, he decided to eat the breakfast.

After finishing his breakfast, he dismissed the maid and continued to learn ancient languages.

There were numerous human empire and language before the Dark Ages. But those ancestors who survived and built Glory City only managed to retrieve a very small amount of the knowledge.

Ye Xinghan knew that he couldn't do anything about it. At best, he will try to learn as fast as possible while not slacking in his cultivation.

'Wait... learn fast?' He frowned. There is nothing faster than the speed of light not even gravity, and the wielder of ultimate light is Ye Xinghan himself.

'If i can make my hand or feet move faster by channeling devil fruit's ability. Can i do it as well to my brain?' Ye Xinghan eyes grew wider as he thought this theory, it sounds very plausible and making his heart itchy to try it.

Ye Xinghan took a meditation pose, breathing in and breathing out. Trying to make himself relax as much as possible. This is very dangerous experiment as brain is one of the vital part of human. A single mistake and he could very well become a corpse.

'Normal human nerve conduction velocity is about 50 - 60 metres/second. While the highest one could be developed at most 20% higher than normal. And the speed of light is approximately around 300.000 kilometres/second. Very big difference.'

'Electric information released by each brain cell is transmitted through neuropathway and finally received by another brain cell or any other body counterparts. Theoretically, if the velocity of electrochemical is improved, then the brain capability itself will vastly improve." Ye Xinghan silently thought.

(Ha, you don't expect to find biology inside martial arts novel do you? lol)

'But, its more than a million times difference between normal human nerve system and the speed of light. Should i use devil fruit full power, i will definitely rupture my own brain'

'Alright, lets try it.'

Then, Ye Xinghan took a deep breath. He activates the devil fruit power to the bare minimum, almost nothing. He channeled the energy to enter his brain.

He picked up the ancient languages book, and skimmed through yesterday lesson.

'Success!!' Ye Xinghan smiled inwardly, he didn't dare to channel the energy more than this much.

The reason why he said success was because he could understand more easily the words and the content of the books.

Although it was not like photographic memory, he could definitely feel that he is smarter than before.

'Just a tiny tiny bit of energy, and the result was beyond my expectation' Ye Xinghan lightly chuckled. If his brain capabilities already improved, then his speed reaction, his instincts was most likely improved as well.

After achieving satisfactory result. Ye Xinghan indulged himself in learning. The time is tight, he couldn't gamble his fate on whether Nie Li will reincarnate or not. He will raise his power as quick as possible. And the most important factor for him right now is to learn many ancient languages.

Ye Xinghan knew that a lot of knowledge was waiting to be uncovered. For example, the 'Snow Wind Family' themselves has a lot of ancient books or scrolls obtained from explorations. But sadly, there was not many who understand ancient empire languages.

If only those knowledge were understandable, then Glory City would surely survived the demon beast hordes even without Nie Li's help.

'Sigh, its no use to complain the things that out of my reach..

Lets continue to learn..'

-------------------------

After learning and reading about 5 books, Ye Xinghan finally felt weary. There was a limit of human brain after all, and if he was not wrong then the higher the cultivation, the higher the limit as well.

A 7 years old managed to finished 5 books of ancient empire quickly and thoroughly in matter of hours, those feat itself is already unprecendented.

Ye Xinghan called a maid to bring him a glass cold water.

'Fuiyooh... its good to be a young master. There will be always a servant ready to attend your needs.' Ye Xinghan thought as he drank the water, feeling refreshed again.

"Ah yes you,, Maid A right? Can you please call Head Servant Feng to come here? Oh, bring this glass out as well. Thank you." He told the maid as he gave the empty glass.

"This maid understand, please excuse me." The maid bowed and exit the bedroom.

Not long after that, Head Servant Feng entered the room and bowed towards Ye Xinghan.

"Do you have any request, young master?"

"Um, can you arrange a 3 stars bronze rank fighter for me?" Ye Xinghan asked and tilted his head.

"Young master, is it too early for you to spar with 3 star bronze rank right now?" Head Servant Feng inquired.

"No, I want to test something new." Ye Xinghan hopped down from his bed and stretched his body.

"Let's go"
