Chapter 6: Triple Speed Boost

TL: Etude

When the Silver Moon Mink died, it was less than three meters away from Ye Tian. At that time, Ye Tian was very panicked. Fortunately, the Silver Moon Mink was dead, or else he might have been killed by it. All in all, he was quite lucky.

Seeing that the Silver Moon Mink had died, he had a sudden thought to use his duplication talent to examine it.

Fierce Beast: Silver Moon Mink

Bloodline Talent: Subpar

Speed Talent: Basic

When he saw these talents, Ye Tian was truly shocked.

Fierce beasts mainly rely on their bloodline to evolve, much like human cultivation talents. Without a strong bloodline, it’s impossible for them to become powerful beasts.

The Silver Moon Mink only had a subpar bloodline talent. Considering its realm, it was at most equivalent to an early-stage Martial Warrior. But it could easily inflict heavy damage on a Martial Warrior and even give a late-stage Martial Warrior like Captain Wind Wolf trouble, thanks to its other talent – the speed talent.

With its speed talent, the Silver Moon Mink had become a terrifying beast. Ordinary low-level fierce beasts wouldn’t be able to withstand an onslaught from so many Martial Warriors.

At that moment, Ye Tian, having already duplicated the speed talent, knew that once he integrated it, his speed would greatly surpass others at the same level, and fighting those of higher levels would no longer be a dream.

“Home!” Ye Tian ran towards his house.

Once home, Ye Tian had dinner with his sister and then went to his room alone, preparing to try integrating the talent.

“Normally, talents other than cultivation talents awaken slowly at the Martial Warrior level, but my duplication talent can break this rule. I should be able to safely integrate the speed talent,” Ye Tian speculated.

“Whatever, integrate!” Ye Tian bit a piece of cloth and began the integration.

Boom!

A pain only second to the integration of medium cultivation talents surged into his mind. Ye Tian, having prepared himself mentally, endured it completely.

Ten minutes later, the pain disappeared, and a feeling of exhilaration filled his heart.

Ye Tian knew that he had successfully integrated the speed talent.

With a thought, he checked his own talent situation.

Human: Ye Tian

Cultivation Talent: Medium

Speed Talent: Basic

Too tired and mentally exhausted from the beast attack, Ye Tian gradually fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Ye Tian couldn’t wait to go to the academy’s small grove. At that time, no one was there yet.

“Let’s try the speed talent!” Ye Tian activated his speed talent and, like a shadow, rushed towards the distance.

“What incredible speed!” Ye Tian was astonished.

After several tests, he was finally sure that his speed had tripled. A basic speed talent gave him such speed, almost comparable to ordinary Martial Warriors, and with his cultivation growing, his speed would naturally increase even further.

“Legend has it that humans with multiple talents are favored by heaven and earth. It’s true! With just a basic speed talent, I can probably defeat most Martial Disciples. It won’t be long before I can contend with Martial Warriors!” Ye Tian was thrilled.

But he also knew very well that the true foundation was cultivation. Without strong cultivation as support, having multiple talents would be in vain, making it hard to compare with true strong ones.

“I have one month’s time before I can duplicate new talents. The goal for this month is to temper my body and reach a strength of 300 jin!” Ye Tian set a small goal for himself.

With a target in sight, Ye Tian worked even harder in his cultivation.

Moreover, he had initially revealed to other students that he could cultivate physical training techniques. After all, many of his peers were also able to cultivate, so he didn’t attract much attention.

In his spare time from cultivation, Ye Tian examined the talents of the entire fifth academy’s students but found no remarkable talents. Except for Chen Dong, the best were only at the basic level.

A month passed quickly, and Ye Tian achieved his small goal, possessing a strength of 300 jin.

“The speed is still too slow. If only I could increase the cultivation speed!” Ye Tian sighed.

Walking on the road leaving the academy, a voice called out, “Ye Tian, wait for me!”

Ye Tian turned around and saw that it was Zhang Bao, so he stopped.

“Ye Tian, you’ve become a Martial Disciple, haven’t you?” Zhang Bao asked quietly.

“Yes!” Ye Tian nodded, admitting that becoming a Martial Disciple was not difficult. He didn’t need to hide it, as long as he didn’t reveal that he had the strength of 300 jin.

“Ye Tian, do you want to increase your cultivation speed?” Zhang Bao asked eagerly.

“Do you have a way?” Ye Tian was shocked.

“Have you heard of ferocious beast blood?” Zhang Bao said.

“Of course I have!” Ye Tian nodded. His parents were Martial Warriors, and naturally, he learned many things from them that ordinary people didn’t know. Ferocious beast blood contained powerful energy, and consuming it while cultivating physical training techniques could accelerate body refinement. Unfortunately, his parents were gone, and he had no way to get the ferocious beast blood.

“Ye Tian, our talent isn’t great. If we cultivate step by step, we may only hope to reach the Martial Warrior level when we’re old. But with ferocious beast blood, we might reach it by age 20. Even if we can’t improve our cultivation due to our limited talent, we can still live a good life with Martial Warrior strength,” Zhang Bao explained.

“That’s true, but we have no way to get the ferocious beast blood!” Ye Tian said helplessly. He wanted to get it but had no means to do so.

“Ye Tian, since we’re close, I’ll tell you. The five major academies at Linhai Base are preparing to open a trial. The high-level members of Linhai Base have created a small wilderness area in YeWai. All the ferocious beasts have been killed, leaving only some fierce beasts, which are the descendants of ferocious beasts. Even ordinary people with weapons can deal with them. Once a fierce beast is killed, its valuable parts can be exchanged for ferocious beast blood. I heard that the first place will be rewarded with intermediate ferocious beast blood,” Zhang Bao said, growing envious.

Intermediate ferocious beast blood! Ye Tian was also tempted. An intermediate ferocious beast could only be killed by an Elite Martial Warrior. If he had that blood, he might become a Martial Warrior within six months.

“How do you know?” Ye Tian frowned, as he had not received any notification.

Zhang Bao proudly said, “I know an older student with a strength of 500 jin who told me. But this trial is a bit dangerous, so the academy did not inform the newly made Martial Disciples.”

“Ye Tian, I know the benefits of ferocious beast blood better than you. My talent isn’t good, but some time ago, my parents spent most of their savings to buy a low-grade ferocious beast blood. Now I’ve become a Martial Disciple thanks to it. Your talent is better, so you’ll absorb it more efficiently and cultivate faster. Let’s sign up together for the trial. We’ll definitely get some ferocious beast blood!” Zhang Bao tempted.

“Zhang Bao, you’ve invited more than just me, haven’t you?” Ye Tian asked.

“Of course, I’ve invited more than just you. We’ve just become Martial Disciples. How can we compete with those strong ones without teaming up? I’ve asked eight other Martial Disciples, and they’ve all agreed. We’re waiting for you!” Zhang Bao revealed a confident expression.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t want to team up!” Ye Tian refused.

“Alright then!” Zhang Bao showed regret and walked away. He had merely asked, so Ye Tian’s refusal was no big deal, especially since Ye Tian had just become a Martial Disciple and wasn’t of much use.

However, what Zhang Bao didn’t expect was that Ye Tian’s refusal wasn’t about the trial, but rather that he simply didn’t want to team up.

“The trial might be an opportunity for me!” Ye Tian muttered to himself.
