Bronze-level Blade Skill

Chapter 15: Bronze-level Blade Skill [Fourth Update]

“Fortunately, the corpse is intact, otherwise there would be no way to copy the talent!”

Ye Tian breathed a sigh of relief and said.

Regarding the limitations of the Copy Talent, he had already tested them in the small wilderness area; once a corpse is too badly damaged, it becomes impossible to observe the talent situation, and naturally, there's no way to copy the talent.

“Copy Shadow Talent!”

With a thought, Ye Tian began the copying process.

In an instant, the Shadow Talent was successfully copied.

He didn't go home, but instead began the talent Fusion right then and there.

Fusing the Elementary Shadow Talent wasn't too painful for Ye Tian; after all, his physical strength was far beyond what it used to be, and having fused talents multiple times, his immunity to pain had increased.

Thus, aside from a slight pain in his body and some sweat, there was nothing else.

Ten minutes passed, and the Shadow Talent was successfully fused.

At this time, Ye Tian's talent situation had changed.

Human: Ye Tian

Cultivation Talent: Medium

Speed Talent: Elementary

Saber Talent: Medium

Shadow Talent: Elementary

“Four types of talents!”

Ye Tian was very satisfied with his current talent situation. He didn't know the situation in other bases, but he was certain that in Lin Hai Base, no one had more talents than him.

In Lin Hai Base, he was absolutely invincible among those of the same rank.

“This Li Cun should have some good things on him, right?”

Ye Tian carefully examined Li Cun's corpse.

Li Cun's saber was not bad; it was a black saber with a blood groove in the middle. This black saber didn't have a single nick on it, whereas his own saber had been severely damaged after this battle.

“Presumably, this black saber should be a very sharp Origin Weapon; it can serve as my weapon!”

Ye Tian happily put away Li Cun's black saber and searched through Li Cun's clothes.

Soon, everything on Li Cun's person had been searched by Ye Tian.

A Secret Manual, three Gold Cards, five White Cards, and some miscellaneous paper currency.

Seeing these gains, Ye Tian was excited, even more so than when he copied the Shadow Talent.

Because one Gold Card represented 1 million yuan, and one White Card represented 10,000 yuan. There was a total of over three million yuan here!

“Gold Cards are equivalent to bank cards from my previous life. Lin Hai Base doesn't have the technology to manufacture Gold Cards; it's said they are made by some large bases. The banks in Lin Hai Base are opened by those large bases, so these Gold Cards can be used to withdraw money even in those large bases!” Ye Tian thought to himself.

With over three million yuan suddenly added to his wealth, Ye Tian's net worth instantly skyrocketed many times over. Coupled with the Shadow Talent, he felt he could definitely grow in a short period, even to the point where he could ignore the Mo family.

“There is still one trouble to solve right now—Mo Shao Bei!”

A flash of killing intent appeared in Ye Tian's eyes.

Now, he and Mo Shao Bei were in a life-and-death struggle.

Even if he didn't go to retaliate against Mo Shao Bei, once Li Cun failed to return for a long time and he remained alive, Mo Shao Bei would inevitably know Li Cun had failed. The next attack might be a Martial Artist Late Stage or even an Elite Martial Warrior.

Therefore.

He must kill Mo Shao Bei as soon as possible to eliminate the trouble for himself.

Of course, he couldn't kill Mo Shao Bei using his own identity; if he did, he would definitely face frantic retaliation from the Mo family.

“I've got it!”

Ye Tian looked at Li Cun's body and smiled slightly.

Now that he possessed the Shadow Talent and Li Cun's black saber, he could absolutely impersonate Li Cun!

“First, dispose of Li Cun's corpse!”

Ye Tian quickly found an empty spot and buried Li Cun—deeply, at that—and then covered up the traces.

Even if the corpse was exposed in the future, it would be a long time from now, and there wouldn't be any problems for the time being.

By now, it was already dark, and Ye Tian hurried back home.

After returning, Ye Tian didn't rest but instead familiarized himself with the Shadow Talent.

The Shadow Talent actually wasn't that Heaven-Defying; it was impossible to stay in a shadow state all the time.

Being in a shadow state requires the consumption of energy and must be in a shadowed area; once light shines on it, the form is exposed.

Secondly, one cannot launch an attack while in the shadow state; once an attack is launched, one is exposed. Nor can one be attacked; once hit, the shadow state will be forced to break.

The Shadow Talent is suitable for hiding and assassination, and it can evade enemies at critical moments, but it is not suitable for frontal combat.

“There's also a Secret Manual!”

Ye Tian took out Li Cun's Secret Manual and read it carefully, becoming more excited as he read.

This was a saber technique manual—Shadow Blade!

Shadow Blade had only one move, called Shadow Kill; it was a fast blade technique, striking as quick as lightning.

But what truly excited Ye Tian was the discourse on the Knife Dao. Although he had a Medium Saber Talent, he knew very little about the Knife Dao.

The Knife Dao is divided into three levels: Form, Momentum, and Intent. Although ordinary people can use a blade, they can only master the Form and can never master the Momentum; to master Momentum, one must possess a Saber Talent.

In addition, Shadow Blade was a Bronze-level Blade Skill, which could be considered a very powerful technique. Once mastered, one's combat power would increase significantly, enough to fight above one's level.

“According to what's written, blade skills are divided into four levels: Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Ordinary people practicing Black Iron-level blade skills might be able to Cultivate a mere semblance of the form, but without Saber Talent, there's no way to reach Major Achievement in a Black Iron-level blade skill, let alone a Bronze-level one. Although Li Cun had a Bronze-level Blade Skill, unfortunately, he didn't have a Saber Talent; otherwise, the one who died today would have been me!” Ye Tian thought fortunately.

“I'll let Mo Shao Bei live for a few more days. I'll practice Shadow Blade first; once I reach the entry level with Shadow Blade, that will be the day I strike!”

Ye Tian decided.

With his Medium Saber Talent, he had an unimaginable comprehension of blade skills. In just three days, the Bronze-level Blade Skill Shadow Blade, which ordinary people might never master in a lifetime, was practiced to the entry level by Ye Tian.

Besides that, Ye Tian's Knife Dao had also made some progress, reaching the Major Achievement level of Blade Form, and he wasn't far from Blade Momentum.

Late at night.

Mo Family, Mo Shao Bei's residence.

At this time, Mo Shao Bei was extremely annoyed; three whole days had passed, and Shadow hadn't sent back any news.

Li Hai stood beside Mo Shao Bei, clearly sensing the Young Lord's anger.

“Elder Li, that bullshit Shadow couldn't have run off with my money, could he? No news for three days; could it be that as a Martial Artist, he can't find an opportunity to strike at a Martial Apprentice?” Mo Shao Bei said coldly.

“Young Lord, although Shadow is greedy for money and requires payment in advance every time, his reputation has always been good. Perhaps he took on another mission at the same time and hasn't had the chance to act yet?” Li Hai guessed.

“It better be that way, otherwise I'll let Shadow know the terror of our Mo family!” Mo Shao Bei forcibly suppressed his anger and waved his hand, signaling Li Hai to leave.

Li Hai left Mo Shao Bei's residence and walked outside.

The night was very dark, and in the darkness, a surge of killing intent enveloped the Mo Manor.

Li Hai felt a pang of trepidation, then smiled: “I'm probably just too worried. Who would dare to strike at me in the Mo family?”

Just as he was about to walk on, a figure flashed out from the side, and a black saber slashed towards him.

This strike was too fast; even as fast as Li Hai's thoughts were, he only saw a black saber before losing consciousness.

In the instant he lost consciousness, he thought of one person—Shadow!

“Why did Shadow Kill me?”

That was Li Hai's final thought!
