Chapter 59: Ch 59- Upgrading Copy and Paste Talent
Soon, Mo Yuan had completely lost track of how much time had passed.
All he could remember was killing.
Everywhere he looked, there were humans rushing toward him. He swung his saber again and again, relying on his Saber Intent to cut through everything in his path but the horde simply didn’t seem to end.
No matter how many he killed, more would appear from the endless grassland.
At first, Mo Yuan was still able to fight comfortably after breaking through to Saber Intent but as time passed, even his newly comprehended Saber Intent began to weaken.
His body was already exhausted and his mind was tired, even his Saber Intent was reaching its limit.
"How many have I killed already?"
Mo Yuan muttered while swinging his saber.
The battle continued. Eventually, the Saber Intent surrounding his body became weaker and weaker.
Finally atlast, it completely disappeared.
Mo Yuan’s arm trembled. He tried to raise his saber again, but his body refused to listen.
"Looks like... this is my limit."
His vision became blurry. The endless grassland slowly disappeared from his sight.
Then Mo Yuan collapsed onto the ground.
His consciousness completely faded away. A few moments later, the cold mechanical voice once again came from the sky.
[Contestant No. 86819207046872912705 has survived for 3 days.]
[Calculating the rating...]
[Rating according to Universe 97623434 standard.]
[F Grade.]
[Rating according to Earth standard.]
[A Grade.]
[Calculating rewards...]
Inside the corridor, Mo Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.
"Ah..."
He slowly sat up and rubbed his head.
"Where am I now?"
He looked around and immediately recognized the white corridor. The altar was still there and floating in front of him was the strange white ball.
Mo Yuan stared at it for a moment.
"Didn’t I just..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he noticed something else floating in front of him.
It was a strange black fruit.
It was roughly the size of an orange and had a completely black surface. It looked extremely unusual, but Mo Yuan couldn’t sense anything special from it.
"What is this?"
Before he could ask, the white ball suddenly spoke.
[Congratulations. You have achieved an A Grade rating according to Earth standards.]
Mo Yuan raised an eyebrow.
"A Grade?"
[Unfortunately, there are no rewards left in the inventory except for these two items.]
Mo Yuan’s eyes immediately lit up.
"Two rewards?"
[Transferring Reward 1.]
The moment the voice finished, Mo Yuan suddenly felt something strange inside his head.
A large amount of information appeared in his mind.
"What is this?"
Mo Yuan closed his eyes and carefully examined the information.
After a few seconds, his expression became surprised because it was a saber technique.
The name of the technique was Boundless Saber Art.
Mo Yuan carefully went through the information and realized that this was definitely not an ordinary saber technique.
However, he couldn’t determine its grade. The grades he knew were Iron Grade, Steel Grade, Mithril Grade, and Adamant Grade but this Boundless Saber Art was clearly above anything he had encountered before.
"What grade is this technique?"
Mo Yuan frowned.
Unfortunately, there was no answer.
"I’ll check it later."
He opened his eyes and looked toward the black fruit.
"Then what exactly is this fruit?"
But before he could ask, the white ball suddenly disappeared. It vanished without leaving behind even the slightest trace.
"Hey! Are you still there?"
There was no response.
Mo Yuan sighed.
"Seems like it really is some kind of AI."
Before he could do anything else, his surroundings suddenly changed. The next moment, he found himself standing inside the mysterious cave again.
He looked around in surprise.
"This is the cave?"
Everything was exactly the same as before.
Mo Yuan scratched his head.
"Strange. I was wondering if I would receive some kind of powerful inheritance, but all I got was this fruit and a saber technique."
He looked at the black fruit in his hand.
"Also, it said my rating according to Earth standards was A Grade."
Mo Yuan thought for a moment.
"Well, that’s not really surprising. There must be many people with better talents than me."
He didn’t know what kind of standard the trial was using, so he didn’t take the rating too seriously.
His attention quickly returned to the fruit.
"Let’s see what exactly this thing does."
Without hesitating any longer, Mo Yuan opened his mouth and took a bite.
The moment the fruit entered his mouth, his expression suddenly changed.
"Eh?"
A strange energy instantly exploded inside his body. Mo Yuan could feel something changing inside his body.
The strange energy from the black fruit was spreading through every part of him. It wasn’t painful, but it gave him a strange feeling, as if something deep inside his body was slowly awakening.
Then, without warning, his consciousness was pulled into a strange space. It was completely dark, there was no sky, no ground, and no source of light.
However, at the center of this endless darkness stood a huge tree.
Mo Yuan stared at it in surprise.
"What is this?"
The tree looked extremely strange. Its trunk was thick and ancient and countless branches spread out in every direction.
At the very top of the tree, there was a brilliant golden light.
Within that golden light were two words.
Copy and Paste.
Mo Yuan’s eyes widened.
"Copy and Paste?"
He immediately understood something.
"This must be my Talent Tree."
He looked at the other branches. Each branch had words written on it.
Cultivation Talent.
Speed Talent.
Saber Talent.
Shadow Talent.
Strength Talent.
Regeneration Talent.
Space Talent
All of his talents were clearly displayed on the branches.
Mo Yuan stared at the tree for a while before muttering, "So the main talent is Copy and Paste, while all the others are secondary talents."
It seemed that the strange fruit had allowed him to see something that had always existed inside his body, before he could investigate further, the entire space suddenly disappeared.
Mo Yuan’s consciousness returned to his body.
He opened his eyes.
The strange energy had completely disappeared but he could immediately feel that something had changed.
Mo Yuan clenched his fist and carefully sensed his physical strength.
"My base strength has increased to around 129,000 jin."
A surprised expression appeared on his face.
"With the 10x boost from my Peak Grade Strength Talent, that means my strength can reach around 1.29 million jin."
He thought for a moment before adding the boost from his Primordial Qi.
"With the 2x boost from Primordial Qi, it should reach around 2.58 million jin."
Mo Yuan couldn’t help smiling.
"The maximum strength of an Origin Sea Realm cultivator is around one million jin."
"And with the 2x boost from Primordial Qi, it can reach around two million jin."
His eyes flashed with excitement.
"In other words, even though I’m only at the Low Level of the Origin Sea Realm, my strength has already surpassed the normal limit of the Origin Sea Realm."
Mo Yuan was quite satisfied with this result.
However, he quickly put these thoughts aside.
His strength was important, but the strange change to his Talent Tree was even more important.
"Let’s see exactly what has changed with my Copy and Paste Talent."
Mo Yuan took a deep breath and summoned his Talent panel.
