Chapter 74: Two Replications?
TL: Etude
Yue Ling was also very excited at that moment; six Heavenly Soul Flowers were worth a staggering 60 billion! Of course, converting them entirely into money would undoubtedly be the worst move. For an item like the Heavenly Soul Flower, every family would highly desire it—it was beyond monetary value. She could easily contribute the Heavenly Soul Flowers to the Yue family in exchange for contribution points. With those points, she could acquire the precious items she had long coveted. Moreover, the Yue family would gain six top-notch talents in cultivation, strengthening their power. It was a win-win situation!
Whoosh!
Ye Tian activated his Speed Talent and dashed into the lake at an extremely fast pace. He gently plucked the Earth Surge Golden Lotus, lightly tapped the water, and retreated. The whole process flowed seamlessly.
Gazing at the Earth Surge Golden Lotus in the water, Ye Tian was highly excited, nearly unable to resist the urge to swallow it immediately. But he restrained that desire.
"Yue Ling, I want to consume the Earth Surge Golden Lotus. Could you guard me? No matter what happens after I take it, do not disturb me," Ye Tian said.
"Sure! But are you really going to consume it? I always feel it's a waste; it'd be more profitable to sell it," Yue Ling suggested.
"I'm more interested in seeing if it can positively affect my talents," Ye Tian said with a smile.
"Alright then," Yue Ling responded, advising no further. After all, the Earth Surge Golden Lotus belonged to Ye Tian. How he chose to use it was his business.
Yue Ling stood at a distance, watching Ye Tian intently as he swallowed the Earth Surge Golden Lotus. Once in his mouth, the large flower transformed into a kind of nectar and flowed into his stomach. Then, a gentle energy surged into Ye Tian's mind.
At that moment, he felt an intense throbbing in his brain. He was absorbing the massive energy of the Earth Surge Golden Lotus. Unlike last time, he did not lose consciousness.
Boom!
In his mind, dots of light appeared, representing the golden points of his Replication Talent, which began absorbing the energy from the Earth Surge Golden Lotus, undergoing special changes.
Immersed in his consciousness, Ye Tian finally noticed what was happening in his mind.
"What is this..."
He looked at those dots of light. They seemed close, yet he couldn't quite reach them. But he knew what they represented.
"These points must be my Talent Markings, and the golden points likely signify my Replication Talent," Ye Tian concluded.
The Replication Talent didn't have levels because it could replicate any talent; calling it the highest level would not be an exaggeration. Among all Talent Markings, the Replication Talent was the brightest and most noble. Other talents seemed to orbit it, like subjects bowing to their King.
He clearly sensed the changes occurring within his Replication Talent. With the energy from the Earth Surge Golden Lotus, it was undergoing a unique evolution and transformation.
Approximately five or six hours later—
Finally—
Buzzzz—
His Replication Talent shook violently, completing its transformation. Ye Tian felt a sudden lightness in his mind, and his mental power increased slightly.
Ye Tian was well aware that this minor increase in mental power was just a side effect. The real change had occurred in his Replication Talent.
"Let's see what changes have occurred in my Replication Talent," Ye Tian said, full of anticipation.
First, he tested its range. Previously, he could sense talents up to 200 meters away. Now, he found that he could sense the talents of a low-level beast outside a cave 500 meters away. As for places farther than that, he couldn't sense them.
This meant that the range of Ye Tian's Replication Talent had increased to 500 meters—a huge improvement that would make replicating other talents much easier in the future. He could even replicate the talents of people hiding in their homes effortlessly.
Next, Ye Tian examined the talent information of the Moon-Escaping Wolf
Species: Moon-Escaping Wolf
Bloodline Talent: Top-tier (Copyable)
Spatial Talent: Medium-tier (Copyable)
Enlargement Talent: Medium-tier (Copyable)
Originally, Ye Tian couldn't copy any of the talents of the Hidden Moon Wolf, as his copy talent was in a cooldown state. But now, his copy talent had become available again.
"What's going on?" Ye Tian was somewhat bewildered.
After some research, he finally understood. The number of copies had increased! Previously, he could only copy once a month, but now he could do it twice. He had already used one opportunity, and another was now available.
"Awesome! Consuming the Earth Surge Golden Lotus was absolutely the wisest decision I've ever made. I don't care about spending two Sky Soul Flowers, or even ten," Ye Tian was highly excited. He almost stood up and shouted, but held himself back, remembering someone else was nearby.
"Now's a perfect opportunity, right after taking the Earth Surge Golden Lotus, to integrate the medium-tier spatial talent from the Hidden Moon Wolf. Even if my body undergoes some changes, it can be concealed as the effect of the Earth Surge Golden Lotus. If I don't integrate now, I won't have a chance later while staying close to Yue Ling," Ye Tian thought and then acted.
"Copy!" "Integrate!"
In an instant, the medium-tier spatial talent merged into Ye Tian's body.
Boom!
The integration began. The changes brought by the medium-tier spatial talent were extremely drastic, even more so than the top-tier talents. Ye Tian endured unimaginable pain, as if his soul was about to explode.
His body trembled, drenched in cold sweat. Sweat droplets soaked his clothes and even the ground beneath him. Had he been an ordinary person, he might have died from dehydration.
But Ye Tian was a Great Martial Warrior; it was merely an inconvenience for him.
Not far away, Yue Ling looked at Ye Tian in astonishment, unable to understand why he was sweating so profusely and wearing an expression of extreme agony, as if he were enduring unimaginable torture.
"Does consuming Earth Surge Golden Lotus cause this much pain?" She didn't know and felt it was best not to comment.
"Earth Surge Golden Lotus must have mysteriously altered his talents. As for what it has changed into, no one knows. Perhaps this is a side effect of Ye Tian's talents being altered," Yue Ling speculated.
Soon enough, Ye Tian successfully integrated the medium-tier spatial talent.
Human: Ye Tian
Cultivation Talent: Top-tier
Speed Talent: Top-tier
Blade Talent: High-tier
Shadow Talent: Low-tier
Healing Talent: Top-tier
Strength Talent: High-tier
Stamina Talent: Medium-tier
Defense Talent: Medium-tier
Spatial Talent: Medium-tier
Upon seeing the last line, Ye Tian couldn't contain his excitement. In his eyes, this so-called medium-tier spatial talent was far more precious than other top-tier talents.
"Spatial Talent!"
Ye Tian secretly activated his spatial talent and immediately sensed various changes in space. With a mere thought, he felt as though he could arrive anywhere else—this was teleportation. Another thought allowed him to perceive other places through space—this was spatial perception. Moreover, he could also create a personal space, as if it were an instinct.
