Chapter 25: Searching for Offensive Talents
TL: Etude
The Tiger Claw Fish was an intermediate-level beast, not weak by any means. Ye Tian chose not to engage with it, instead circling around it as he continued his search for the Immortal Jellyfish.
With his duplication talent, no aquatic beast could escape his detection. Moreover, since becoming an Elite Martial Warrior, the range of his duplication talent had increased from three meters to ten meters. Within this ten-meter radius, he could detect the talents of all living creatures.
Time slowly passed. Ye Tian detected many aquatic beasts, the most dangerous of which was a high-level beast. Fortunately, he detected it from a distance of ten meters, and the beast didn't use its psychic abilities for detection, allowing Ye Tian to avoid it in time.
Half an hour later, Ye Tian finally found what he was looking for—a small group of Immortal Jellyfish.
Species: Immortal Jellyfish
Bloodline Talent: Elementary
Healing Talent: Apex-level (top-level)
"Apex-level healing talent?!" Ye Tian was genuinely stunned.
He had assumed that the Immortal Jellyfish would have a medium or high-level talent, but he never expected it to be Apex-level. He had never encountered a Apex-level talent before, and now he had found one in the Immortal Jellyfish.
"I must duplicate it!" Ye Tian said excitedly.New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on novel(b)in(.)com
The Immortal Jellyfish were not strong individually and had difficulty detecting Ye Tian's presence. So, he slowly approached one of them. The moment his right hand touched the jellyfish, he duplicated its Apex-level healing talent.
The next moment, Ye Tian quickly distanced himself from the Immortal Jellyfish to avoid provoking a swarm. A single Immortal Jellyfish was not a threat, but a group of them could be deadly. And being in the Lake of Death, he didn't want to attract the attention of other beasts. Even with his Shadow Talent, escaping from the Lake of Death would be difficult.
Soon, Ye Tian emerged from the Lake of Death. The moment he stood on the shore, he finally exhaled in relief.
"I must leave immediately!" Ye Tian quickly moved away from the Lake of Death and headed toward a small cave where he had stayed before.
Once inside the cave, Ye Tian immediately began integrating the Apex-level healing talent.
Boom!
An unimaginable transformation began. If one could look into Ye Tian's cells, they would see that each cell was undergoing a profound transformation, evolving significantly. The pain from this transformation surpassed any he had experienced before, but Ye Tian was thrilled. As the saying goes, "pain and happiness coexist."
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Tian finally felt a wave of relief wash over him. Standing up, he checked his talent status.
Human: Ye Tian
Cultivation Talent: High-level
Speed Talent: Elementary
Blade Talent: Intermediate
Shadow Talent: Elementary
Healing Talent: Apex-level
Ye Tian was elated. The apex-level healing talent was a game-changer, and he couldn't wait to explore its potential. But for now, his eyes were set on finding more talents, especially offensive ones, to make him an even more formidable Martial Warrior.
"Let's test the apex-level healing talent!" Ye Tian took out a small knife and made a cut on his arm.
Then, something miraculous happened. In less than a second, the cut healed.
"Hiss—" Ye Tian gasped. The effect of the top-level healing talent was astonishing. With such a healing ability, unless he suffered a fatal injury, it would be difficult to kill him. His ability to preserve his life had instantly risen several notches.
However, Ye Tian didn't think he was invincible. Even the most miraculous healing ability consumed energy. If his body's energy was depleted, the healing ability would become ineffective. If he encountered an enemy he couldn't resist, the best he could do was delay the inevitable—death. Therefore, strength was of the utmost importance.
After spending a night in the cave, Ye Tian returned to the Linhai Base early the next morning. Over the next half month, he resumed his frenzied hunting of beasts. He even bought a small truck, a newly manufactured elemental vehicle, which cost him a million dollars.
With the truck, he could hunt more beasts each day, significantly increasing his earning potential. Coupled with his healing talent, it was almost impossible for intermediate-level beasts to kill him. High-level beasts were not so easily encountered, so within half a month, Ye Tian had paid off his loan and saved up five million yuan, along with a large amount of intermediate-level beast blood.
With these resources, Ye Tian prepared to cultivate for a while to improve his strength. Elite Martial Warriors focused on refining their blood, and their flesh had strict requirements as well. Elemental body cultivation naturally refined both the blood and the flesh, complementing each other.
Ye Tian's strength was still less than 20,000 catties, far from the peak of Elite Martial Warriors, whose limit was 100,000 catties. However, with his multiple talents, he could compete with Elite Martial Warriors who had a strength above 50,000 catties… At least, enough to survive.
But this was far from sufficient.
Ye Tian aimed to compete with the peak of Elite Martial Warriors, and even with Grand Martial Warriors. Unfortunately, most of his talents were of the auxiliary type; he lacked direct offensive talents.
"Next time, I must choose an offensive talent to duplicate!" Ye Tian decided.
He had given up hope on the Martial Warriors of Linhai Base; his target was beasts. Beasts with talents were far more numerous than human Martial Warriors. Once he locked onto a specific beast, it wouldn't be difficult to find, much easier than finding a needle in a haystack among humans.
Of course, beasts with offensive talents were far more terrifying than other beasts. To duplicate a talent from such a beast, one must possess formidable strength.
So, for the next half month, Ye Tian cultivated like crazy. With his apex-level healing talent, he wasn't afraid of the bodily harm caused by excessive cultivation, so his cultivation speed soared.
In just half a month, after consuming countless bottles of intermediate-level beast blood, Ye Tian finally increased his strength to 30,000 catties. This was an achievement that even talents with high-level cultivation talents couldn't reach in several months.
One day, Ye Tian was looking at a newly purchased comprehensive beast atlas to find a suitable target.
"Strong Bear, intermediate-level beast, twice as strong as regular beasts, suspected to possess a strength talent." Ye Tian glanced at it and shook his head.
The Strong Bear might indeed have a strength talent, but the level of that talent would certainly not be high. At most, it would be a low-level strength talent, so it was not the best target.
"Flame Bird, intermediate-level beast, possesses a flame talent, can easily burn regular intermediate-level beasts to death!" After reading, Ye Tian shook his head again.
The Flame Bird's flame talent was also not very powerful, at most an elementary-level flame talent. Such a talent would enhance his strength, but not by much. It wouldn't enable him to compete with peak Elite Martial Warriors.
"Huh, this beast looks good!" Ye Tian's eyes locked onto a beast, revealing a look of delight.
