Your Talent is Mine

TL: Etude

"Fortunately, the body is intact, otherwise, there would be no way to replicate the talent!" Ye Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the limitations of copying talents, he had already experimented with it in the wild area. If the corpse was too mutilated, he would not be able to see the talent situation, and naturally, he would not be able to replicate the talent.

"Replicate Shadow Talent!" Ye Tian's mind moved, and he began the replication.

In an instant, the Shadow Talent was successfully copied.

He didn't go home but began to integrate the talent on the spot.

Merging basic Shadow Talent wasn't too painful for Ye Tian, as his body's strength was far beyond what it had been before, and having merged many talents several times, his immunity to pain had increased.

So, only some minor pain occurred in his body, and he was sweating a bit, but otherwise, there was nothing wrong.

Ten minutes later, the Shadow Talent was successfully integrated.

"Four kinds of talents!" Ye Tian was very satisfied with his current talents. He didn't know about other bases, but he was sure that in Linhai Base, no one had more talents than him.

In Linhai Base, he was definitely invincible at the same level.

"There should be good things on Li Cun's body, right?" Ye Tian carefully examined Li Cun's corpse.

Li Cun's knife was good; it was a black knife with a blood groove in the middle. There was not a single nick on this black knife, whereas his own knife had been severely damaged after this battle.

"Presumably, this black knife must be a very sharp elemental weapon. It can be used as a weapon!" Ye Tian was delighted to pick up Li Cun's black knife, and he searched through Li Cun's clothes.

Soon, all the things on Li Cun's body were searched by Ye Tian.

A secret book, three gold cards, five white cards, and some loose bills.

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

Because one gold card represented 1 million in money, and one white card represented 100,000. There were more than three million here!

"The gold card is equivalent to a bank card from the previous life. Linhai Base doesn't have the technology to make gold cards. It is said that some big bases made them, and the bank in Linhai Base was set up by those big bases. These gold cards can even be used to withdraw money in big bases!" Ye Tian thought secretly.

With an additional three million in money, Ye Tian's worth suddenly surged many times, and coupled with the Shadow Talent, he felt he could grow quickly, even to the point where he could ignore the Mo family.

"Right now, there's one more problem to solve—Mo Shaobei!" A hint of killing intent flashed in Ye Tian's eyes.

Now, it was a matter of life and death between him and Mo Shaobei.

Even if he did not seek revenge on Mo Shaobei, once Li Cun did not return for a long time, and he remained alive, Mo Shaobei would surely know that Li Cun had failed. The next attack might even be a later-stage martial warrior or even an elite martial warrior.

So, he had to kill Mo Shaobei as soon as possible to eliminate the trouble for himself.

Of course, he couldn't possibly kill Mo Shaobei with his own identity, or he would definitely be crazily retaliated against by the Mo family.

"I've got it!" Ye Tian looked at Li Cun's body and smiled slightly.

At that time, he possessed the Shadow Talent and Li Cun's black blade; he could absolutely impersonate Li Cun!

"First, take care of Li Cun's corpse!" Ye Tian said.

Ye Tian quickly found an open space and buried Li Cun deeply, subsequently concealing the traces.

Even if the body were exposed in the future, that would be a long time from then, and there would be no immediate problems.

By then, the night had fallen, and Ye Tian hurriedly returned home.

After returning, Ye Tian did not rest but instead became familiar with the Shadow Talent.

The Shadow Talent was not as extraordinary as it seemed, as it was impossible to remain in the shadow state constantly.

Being in the shadow state required the consumption of energy, and one must be in a yin shadow area. If any light were to shine on them, the form would be exposed.

Furthermore, one couldn't launch an attack while in the shadow state, for doing so would reveal one's position, nor could one be attacked, for the shadow state would be forcibly dispelled if attacked.

The Shadow Talent was suitable for hiding and assassination, allowing one to avoid the enemy at critical moments but not suitable for face-to-face combat.

"There's also a secret manual!" Ye Tian took out Li Cun's manual and carefully examined it, becoming more excited as he read.

It was a blade technique manual called Shadow Blade!

Shadow Blade had only one move, called Shadow Kill, a fast blade technique, swift as lightning.

But what truly excited Ye Tian was the explanation about blade techniques. Although he had a medium-level blade manual, he knew very little about blade techniques.

Blade techniques were divided into three levels: Form, Momentum, and Intent. Most people could use the blade but could only grasp the Form and never the Momentum. To grasp Momentum, one needed to possess blade talent.

Moreover, Shadow Blade was a bronze-level blade technique, a very powerful one. Once mastered, one's fighting ability would be greatly enhanced, sufficient to battle opponents of a higher level.

"According to the description, blade techniques are divided into Iron, Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels. Ordinary people may practice Iron-level techniques to some extent, but without blade talent, they cannot master Iron-level techniques, let alone Bronze-level ones. Although Li Cun had Bronze-level techniques, sadly he did not have blade talent; otherwise, I would have been the one to die today!" Ye Tian exclaimed in relief.

"Let Mo Shaobei live a few more days; I'll practice Shadow Blade first. Once I've mastered the basics of Shadow Blade, the day I make my move will come!" Ye Tian resolved.

With his medium-level blade talent, Ye Tian had an unimaginable comprehension of blade techniques, and in just three days, he had managed to master the Bronze-level Shadow Blade technique that ordinary people could never achieve in a lifetime.

Besides, Ye Tian's understanding of blade technique also progressed a bit, reaching a high level in blade form and not far from blade momentum.

Late at night.

At the Mo residence, Mo Shaobei's dwelling.

Mo Shaobei was very annoyed at that time, as three whole days had passed without any news from Shadow.

Li Hai stood beside Mo Shaobei and could clearly perceive his master's anger.

"Li Hai, that damned Shadow didn't take my money and run, did he? Three days without news. Could a martial warrior not find an opportunity to take down a mere martial disciple?" Mo Shaobei said coldly.

"Young master, Shadow may be greedy, always demanding payment in advance, but his reputation has always been good. Perhaps he took on another mission and hasn't had the chance to act?" Li Hai speculated.

"It better be so, or I'll show Shadow the terror of our Mo family!" Mo Shaobei forcibly suppressed his anger, waved his hand, and dismissed Li Hai.

Li Hai left Mo Shaobei's dwelling and walked outside.

The night was dark, and a murderous intent enveloped the Mo residence.

Li Hai felt a sudden chill but then smiled, "I must be worrying too much. Who would dare attack me at the Mo residence?"

Just as he was about to leave, a figure flashed to his side, and a black blade came slashing at him.

The blade was too fast, and even with Li Hai's quick thinking, he only caught a glimpse of the black blade before losing consciousness.

As he lost consciousness, he thought of one person—Shadow!

"Why is Shadow killing me?"

That was Li Hai's last thought!
