Shadow, how shameless!

Faced with this problem, Qin Feng only pondered for a brief moment before arriving at an answer…

Do it!

Absolutely must do it!

"Her Talent should be able to directly enhance my combat power."

"It just so happens that after this qualification trial ends, there will be a full-civilization ranking trial…"

"The stronger my strength, the better!"

For the moment, Qin Feng did not know the exact format of the Calamity Ancient God's full-civilization challenge.

But based on the previous God of Bones challenge…

It should likely require testing a player's damage output capability and survivability, so the higher the output, the better!

After all, Qin Feng knew that these kinds of Ancient God Challenges across the entire civilization were real-time rankings. So, to prevent being surpassed by others in the future, he had to push everything to the extreme!

Therefore, the Talent of this 'Sarah' before him was crucial.

"Although she seems quite obedient… I can only 'borrow' her Talent for now."

He called it 'borrowing' because if this woman performed well later, Qin Feng wasn't completely against the idea of returning her Talent.

After all, the Eye of Surgery's Talent seizure was not a truly permanent theft.

As long as one later obtained a divinity armament, they could consume divinity to 'snatch' the Talent back 24 hours after it was taken.

It's just that currently, apart from Qin Feng, no one else on Blue Star could possibly obtain a divinity armament for the time being. So, for other people's Talents, Qin Feng could essentially 'borrow' them for as long as he wanted!

"Although Lutil has come to the Coconut Country…"

"Crossing the various City Ruins is still not that convenient… If there are no player targets within range, she cannot open new hunting grounds."

"My Abyssal Puppets need to stay in the Abyss World to farm monsters."

"Then, the only option is to find a spokesperson here in the Coconut Country as well, to act as Lutil's 'tour guide'."

Sarah was not only a local but also one of the top four strongest in the Coconut Country.

Qin Feng believed that if she were willing, she could definitely be a good 'tour guide'…

After Qin Feng made this decision.

Maintaining his invisibility, he almost instantly descended right in front of 'Sarah'.

To be honest, with this woman's demeanor and fiery figure, even though she was only pretending to be a female pirate, probably from being a boss for so long, she had quite a distinctive flavor.

Even from Osirio's perspective, he probably couldn't find any fault with her…

But Qin Feng naturally wasn't paying attention to such things at this moment.

He arrived before Sarah, watched as the woman held a 'Calamity Ancient God Rune' engraved with lightning patterns in her hand, and unceremoniously reached out to take the rune.

At this point, Qin Feng finally had all three 'Calamity Ancient God Runes' in his grasp!

"Huh… Shadow came to take it?"

As for Sarah, wearing her disguise and black eyepatch, a look of surprise crossed her delicate face, and her heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate.

She hadn't seen anyone at all.

But the Calamity Ancient God Rune in her hand was taken!

Based on the discussion in the guild channel, who else could it be but Shadow?

"Although it's a pity the rune was taken, Shadow's strength is not something I can withstand…"

Sarah sighed inwardly.

At this moment, under the 'Destructive Fire Rain' assault of the third layer, she was already having trouble holding on, letting her know that her limit was pretty much here.

When the Ancient God Rune in her hand was taken, she instantly suffered double the frequency of fire damage!

Scalding flames surged towards her, burning her pirate attire to nothing, and her health bar above her head was almost instantly emptied!

Qin Feng watched Sarah's corpse in front of him rapidly turn from pale white to charred, not wasting any time.

He directly used the Order 'Eye of Surgery' on her.

"Although performing surgery here is a bit of a waste of time…"

"The rewards for this qualification trial are just average anyway. No need to pursue extreme limits, since there won't be any ranking."

"The most important thing is to obtain her Talent and enter the full-civilization challenge!"

Thus…

Sarah soon discovered that her tragedy was just beginning.

Originally, she thought that after handing over the Ancient God Rune, her trial journey had reached its end, and she would next revive at the guild Hideout.

But she soon discovered…

She did indeed revive at the guild Hideout.

However, suddenly, she felt something was wrong—her Talent 'Art of Combat' was actually growing increasingly dim. In just two seconds, it even turned gray, becoming an unusable state!

"What the hell?"

Sarah, who had been relatively relaxed, was instantly dumbfounded!

Her rise in the Coconut Country had been largely dependent on this Emerald-grade Talent!

And yet…

Her Talent suddenly and inexplicably became unusable?

Immediately after, a system prompt arrived, directly leaving her stunned:

——

[Your Talent 'Art of Combat' has been seized by player 'Shadow'!]

[You must consume divinity after 24 hours to reclaim your Talent!]

——

???

Sarah immediately cursed out loud, then felt like crying.

"I already gave you the rune, and you still steal my Talent?"

"Shadow, you're inhuman!"

What was most frustrating was that Sarah couldn't possibly spread this news.

Because, as one of the Four Guardians of the Coconut Country, she controlled too many resources and players.

Once this news got out, it would bring a devastating blow to her and her guild…

"Seems I can only try to find Shadow and see if I can get my Talent back first…"

Sarah felt somewhat helpless.

She felt the likelihood was very low.

But under the current circumstances, she had no other options.

Of course, she also knew that Shadow was currently undergoing the Calamity Ancient God trial. No matter what, she definitely couldn't find Shadow now.

"First, go back to the West Coast and try to wait for Shadow to appear."

Sarah sighed: "This Shadow is so strong, his own Talent must be very powerful. Yet he still steals mine, how shameless!"

…

Meanwhile, Qin Feng nodded with satisfaction.

This woman's Talent was indeed quite good!

——

[You activated the Order 'Eye of Surgery'! This Order enters a 24-hour cooldown!]

[You plundered the Talent 'Art of Combat'!]

[Congratulations on obtaining the Talent: Art of Combat!]

[Art of Combat: Emerald-grade Talent! Passive effect: After you launch a ranged attack, your next melee attack damage increases by 100%; after you launch a melee attack, your next ranged attack damage increases by 100%. Internal cooldown: 1 second!]

——

This was a very strong burst-type Talent. Switching between melee and ranged attacks provided an extremely significant boost to output, especially fitting for Sarah's 'Gunslinger' profession.

Therefore, Sarah's fighting style could be called an art, renowned throughout the Manila Ruins. She had long been the dream lover of countless young people in the Manila Ruins, but unfortunately, no one could ever tame her.

If it weren't for the 1-second internal cooldown, with this Talent's level, it would absolutely not be limited to just Emerald-grade.

"Excellent. This way, my burst damage is even higher."

Qin Feng was very satisfied with this 'gift' from the woman!
