Chapter 6: Ch 6- New talent
Beasts mainly rely on their Bloodline to evolve, just like humans rely on their Cultivation Talent. Without a powerful Bloodline, they cannot become powerful.
The Mountain Wolf only had an Inferior Bloodline Talent. In terms of Realm, it was at most equivalent to an Early Stage Origin Vessel, yet it could easily severely injure a cultivator with same realm and even make a Late Stage Origin Vessel realm cultivator like Captain Iron Fang feel troubled. All because, It relied on its talent Speed Talent.
Possessing the Speed Talent made the Mountain Wolf an incredibly terrifying Beast; otherwise, ordinary low-level Beasts, which were equivalent to the Origin Vessel Realm cultivator, would not have been able to withstand the siege of so many Cultivators.
At this moment, once Mo Yuan, who had already copied the Speed Talent, his future speed would far exceed those of the same rank, and fighting across ranks would no longer be a dream.
"Let’s go home!"
Mo Yuan ran back in the direction of his home.
Upon returning home, Mo Yuan had dinner with his younger sister and then returned to his room alone, preparing to Paste the talent.
"Under normal circumstances, talents other than Cultivation Talent would only slowly undergo Awakening at the Origin Vessel Realm, but my Copy and Paste Talent can break this rule. I should be able to safely undergo Fusion with the Speed Talent," Mo Yuan speculated.
"Whatever, Paste!"
Mo Yuan bit down on a piece of cloth and began the Pasting.
This time he was prepared.
Boom!!!!
Pain, flooded into his mind. Having been mentally prepared, Mo Yuan endured it completely. Ten minutes later, the pain vanished, and a wave of pleasure surged into his heart.
Mo Yuan knew that he had successfully acquired the Speed Talent. With a thought, he checked his talent status.
Human: Mo Yuan
Cultivation Talent: Superior Grade
Speed Talent: Standard Grade
Too many things happened today, first seeing a Beast for the first time. Then copying and pasting the Speed talent, Thinking of this, Mo Yuan gradually fell into a deep sleep, exhausted both mentally and physically.
Early the next morning, Mo Yuan couldn’t wait to go to the academy’s small woods.
At this time, there was no one there.
"Let’s test the Speed Talent!"
Mo Yuan immediately activated the Speed Talent. His figure moved, and he rushed into the distance like an afterimage.
"Such fast speed!"
Mo Yuan was shocked.
After repeated testing, he finally confirmed that his speed had increased threefold. Just an Standard talent gave him such speed, almost comparable to that of an average Origin Vessel Realm cultivator. Moreover, as his cultivation increased, his speed would naturally become faster and faster.
"Legend says that humans who possess multiple talents are the darlings of the world, and it is indeed true. I have only just acquired one Standard grade Speed Talent, and I am probably already capable of crushing most Origin Seed realm Cultivators. At this rate, it won’t be long before I can cook Origin Vessel realm cultivators!"
Mo Yuan was incredibly excited.
But he was also very clear that the true foundation was still cultivation. Without powerful cultivation to support it, having more talents would be in vain, and it would be difficult to compare with true powerhouses.
"I still have some time before I can copy a new talent. The goal for this month is to temper my body and push for 300 jin of strength!" Mo Yuan set a small goal for himself.
With a goal, Mo Yuan cultivated even harder.
Moreover, he had also initially revealed to other students that he could practice the Body Forging Method. After all, many students in his cohort could also practice it, so he didn’t attract too much attention.
Outside of cultivation, Mo Yuan also checked the talents of all the students in the Fourth Academy, but there were basically no good talents. Except for Mu Fan, the best talent was only Standard Grade.
Soon, a month passed, and Mo Yuan achieved his small goal as wished, possessing 300 jin of strength.
"The speed is still too slow. If only I could increase my cultivation speed faster!"
Mo Yuan sighed.
Walking on the road leaving the academy, a voice came: "Mo Yuan, wait for me!"
Mo Yuan looked back and found it was Zhang Wei, so he stopped.
"Mo Yuan, you’ve reached Origin Seed realm, right?" Zhang Wei asked in a low voice.
"Yes!"
Mo Yuan nodded, reaching Origin Seed realm was not difficult; there was nothing to hide about this, as long as he didn’t reveal that he had 300 jin of strength.
"Mo Yuan, do you want to increase your cultivation speed?" Zhang Wei asked hurriedly.
"You have a way?" Mo Yuan acted as he was shocked but inwardly he was gloating.
’Time to show your worth’
"Have you heard of Beast blood?" Zhang Wei said.
"Of course I have!"
Mo Yuan nodded. His parents were also cultivators, so naturally, he knew many situations that ordinary people didn’t know from his parents.
Beast blood contained powerful energy. If one consumed Beast blood while practicing the Body Forging Method, it could accelerate the tempering of the body.
Unfortunately, his parents were gone, and he had no way to get Beast blood.
"Mo Yuan, our talents aren’t too good. If we Cultivate step by step, we only have hope of advancing to the Origin Vessel ream. But having Beast blood is different. Maybe by the age of 20, we will have the hope of stepping into Origin Vessel realm. By then, even if we are limited by our talent and unable to improve our cultivation, we can still live a good life by relying on our strength," Zhang Wei said.
"That’s true, but we have no way to get Beast blood!"
Mo Yuan said helplessly.
"Mo Yuan, we have a good relationship, that’s why I’m telling you. The six major academies of the Dong Hai Base are preparing to launch a trial. The higher-ups of the Dong Hai Base have opened up a small wilderness area in the Wilds."
"The Beasts inside have all been killed, leaving only some feral beasts. Feral beasts are descendants of Beasts; their cultivation does not reach the Beast level, and even ordinary people holding weapons can deal with them. Once you kill a feral beast and take the valuable items from its body, you can exchange them for Beast blood. I heard that the first place even gets an Intermediate Beast blood reward." As Zhang Wei spoke, he became envious.
Intermediate Beast blood!
Mo Yuan was also tempted. An Intermediate Beast was a powerful Beast that only an Origin Core realm cultivator could kill. Once he had Intermediate Beast blood, he would have the hope of becoming Origin Vessel realm within half a year.
"How do you know?"
Mo Yuan frowned. He hadn’t received any notice!
Zhang Wei said triumphantly "I know an old student who has 500 jin of strength. I heard it from him. It’s just that this trial is a bit dangerous, so the academy didn’t notify students who just reached Origin Seed realm."
"Even if feral beast are killable, that doesn’t mean you can kill them without any effort, people will die and especially new students who had just achieved Origin Seed realm."
"Mo Yuan, I know the benefits of Beast blood better than you. My talent isn’t good, but some time ago, my parents spent most of their savings and used connections to buy a portion of low-level Beast blood. Now, relying on that low-level Beast blood, I have reached Origin Seed realm. Your talent is also low but once you have Beast blood, the absorption effect will be better, and your cultivation speed will be faster. Let’s sign up together and form a team for the trial. There is definitely hope to obtain a portion of Beast blood!" Zhang Wei tempted.
Seeing Mo Yuan was silent Zhang Wei spoke again.
"We have just reached Origin Seed realm; if we don’t group up, how can we compete with those powerful Origin Seed realm students? I have already asked eight Origin Seed realm cultivators, and they have all agreed. I’m just waiting for you!" Zhang Wei showed a look that said, "Follow me, and you definitely won’t regret it."
"Sorry, I don’t really want to group up!"
Mo Yuan refused.
"Alright then!"
Zhang Wei showed a look of regret and turned to leave.
He was just asking. If Mo Yuan refused, so be it. Anyway, Mo Yuan had just reached Origin Seed, so he wasn’t of much use.
However, what Zhang Wei didn’t expect was that Mo Yuan wasn’t refusing to participate in the trial, but simply didn’t want to group up.
"The trial might be a chance for me!"
Mo Yuan muttered.
