Chapitre 17: A Sudden Attack
"I got the message, but what is a special talent? Does it differ from normal talents?"
It wasn't hard to understand the prompt. Although he felt that it was a pity, considering how ridiculous these talents were, it was quite fair.
Li Fenshuang didn't think much of it. As an avid novel reader, he wasn't surprised that his golden finger tried to deliberately make things difficult.
"Considering the indifference of this prompt, I probably have to find out on my own to find other ways to receive talents from fairies and this so-called special talent."
He frowned and was about to think of an idea when a prompt appeared.
[Special talent is a talent that defied the norms and applied to any state of the realm and had no realm limit regarding its use.]
[Normal talent originated from this world, and its grade correspondence to the realm of the owner. Unless the owner fulfilled the prerequisites to elevate it, it would remain stagnant, and its effect would be almost nonexistent in the higher stage if the grade was insufficient.]
Surprisingly, the prompt did reply.
Regarding this, Li Fenshuang slowly read them all over. His eyes lit up in realization.
"So that's how it is. Usually, talent encompassed things like affinity with certain rules, weapons, or elements, and the higher the realm, the less their significance. Unless it was a heaven-defying talent, like a special qualification or a godly physique, it was basically just a boost in the early stage of the martial realm."
"However, these special talents are different. They would remain useful no matter what kind of realm I achieve, and their effect transcends the realm, making it useful no matter how far I go. It could be said that they'd grow with me!"
In short, if normal talent was a blessing from the Heavens, then special talent was cheats designed to defy the Heavens!
If that's the case, then he really loses out big time! He has been suspicious about the talents he received. Why there's no talent like Martial Genius, Strong Physique, and whatnot?
Turns out, this whole time, he's only been receiving special talents!
Li Fenshuang took a deep breath to soothe his agitation. He took a deep look at the prompt, "But the last special talent... Seems ambiguous. What's the meaning of belief here? Did it originate from my confidence or other's belief in me?"
Although he had a question, he naturally knew he would naturally find it out in the future.
There's no other way. No use in thinking too much.
Li Fenshuang put aside all of his worries as he devoured the catering. His eyes lit up. Savour and delicious!
Because he had not been eating since the day before the competition started, he could easily devour all of the food. He reckoned that if he didn't burn the calories by training, even a week of satiation wouldn't be impossible!
If it was an ordinary person, that week was equivalent to a year! It couldn't be helped, a Martial Master's physique naturally required more energy to function, but its self-preservation ability is also phenomenal, which explained Li Fenshuang's indifference to hunger despite eating no food for two days.
His metabolism evolved in a way that benefits him.
Soon, he decided to study the materials. With a mobile phone in hand, he could easily search for anything he needed. With his inhumane reaction speed and superb comprehension, 500 pages worth of materials were taken in after two hours of study.
Unlike an ordinary person, his attention span also increased drastically, and even a day of effort could be done efficiently and continuously!
"I feel pity for ordinary people in my school. The difference is just too big..."
Li Fenshuang heaved a sigh as he checked out his interface. There are many things he must arrange.
| Name: Li Fenshuang
| Realm: 2st Stage Martial Realm
| Talent: Good (15 times better than Ordinary. Not bad!)
| Physique: 115 (Mortal)
| Strength: 895 kg
| Techniques: Basic Scripture (Adept, 3rd Stage).
| Skills:
· Mortal-grade: Flowing Water Steps (Perfected), Turbulent Fist (Perfected), Earth Barrier (Perfected)...
· Black-grade: Thunder Steps (Mastered), Bull's Force (Mastered), Turtle Shell (Mastered).
· Earth-grade: Soaring Azure Dragon (Entry), Indomitable Black Tortoise (Entry), Keen White Tiger (Entry), Vermillion Bird's Wings (Entry).
· Sovereign-grade: Four Mystic Arts (Locked).
| Talent: Physical-made Genius (Blue), Dedicated Grinder (White), Faith (White).
| Specialization: —
He didn't make much progress in the Basic Scripture, but because of the battle against Ye Lingtian yesterday, the Soaring Azure Dragon's intent seems to integrate a bit with his body, improving his strength drastically.
It was a shocking discovery, and he immediately understood as soon as his interface appeared.
This seems like a change after he was stripped of his 'newbie' title.
"All of them are Earth-grade battle skills, and if perfected, they could be integrated and become a Sovereign-grade battle skill, the Four Mystic Arts."
Li Fenshuang was speechless. What he had on him was basically a Sovereign level inheritance. Even 8th Grade Martial Masters would covet it!
That's why he could easily defeat the terrifying Ye Lingtian despite his insufficient realm and accumulation.
He reckoned that even an ordinary 3rd Grade Martial Master would have a hard time, and this was purely by battle skills, without special physiques or specializations!
From what he remembered, an expert on the internet explained that battle skills were divided into 6 grades: Mortal, Black, Yellow, Earth, Sky, and Sovereign, which correspond with the stages before the 9th Stage.
It could deciphered from this that the talent he had back then was terrifying! With further enhancement from Dedicated Grinder, it has reached an Excellent level, capable of making him comprehend 4 Earth-grade battle skills in just a mere day.
It was also at that time he realized how precious a sense-based battle skill was.
What he got from the Town Master was a bunch of Mortal-grade battle skills and a few Black-grade battle skills, but none of them were sense-based. This signified just how truly precious the Four Mystic Arts were.
There's also a technique called the Black Snake Scripture, which allowed him to cultivate all the way to the 5th Grade Martial Realm.
For a 2nd Grade Martial Master, this was very abundant and generous. That does not mean Li Fenshuang disdained them. After all, he needs a cover-up for his Four Mystic Arts.
"I wonder if Excellent aptitude was enough to comprehend the Unknown Scripture?"
He tried to read it with his Good-grade talent yesterday, but he couldn't even hold on for a few seconds before his head got a splitting headache. This scripture definitely contained something terrifying!
"Perhaps my realm is insufficient."
After arranging everything, Li Fenshuang started the training with a full belly and an exceptional spirit. The sufficient nutrients increased his efficiency by over 20%! He was shocked and delighted.
His money was not wasted!
He was planning to master the Black-grade battle skills before he thrived to improve the Basic Scripture.
Different from battle skills, a technique was a way for Martial Masters to train their bodies. Some techniques provided its practitioners with some characteristics that could be used as an advantage in battles, or they could obtain a certain physique that would enhance the correspondent battle skills to a terrifying degree.
Li Fenshuang still couldn't understand the difference clearly, so he could only speculate from the available sources.
That's why he still practices the Basic Scripture. He's not willing to take a risk.
As he practiced, the accumulation of Dedicated Grinder steadily rose. His progress became faster and faster, and his enhanced physique accelerated his progress even more. It took a while, but his Black-grade battle skills finally got perfected.
Satisfied, he moves on to the Basic Scripture.
This time, he tried the medicines given by the Town Master. The medicines looked like a paste of various herbals mixed and grounded together, giving off a pleasant smell. He smeared the paste on his body and tried to perform the set of movements of the 3th Stage of Basic Scripture.
This time, he became even more shocked.
The point of the scriptures was to train the body, and the essence of the method was to grind the muscles and build an even stronger constitution to replace the old one. This medicine paste helped this process, accelerating it by over 10%, and it even strengthened it slightly!
It was only now that he realized the way a genius with a background trained. It was indeed very pleasant!
It may be insignificant if the muscle was enhanced once, but the scripture tempered the body continuously, and this process was repeated over hundreds of times in just a session of training.
With this medicine paste, the insignificant enhancement would be stacked, creating a domino effect!
Li Fenshuang became even more vigorous as he trained. He was fired up!
He reckoned that he would be able to break through to the 4th Stage of the Basic Scripture by the end of his training.
He was happily training when he suddenly froze. Li Fenshuang's eyes narrowed. The Keen White Tiger technique put him in a vigilant state. His eyes turned cold as he observed his surroundings.
His eyes brightened. There!
With a decisive, ruthless strike, his hand, imbued with intent, grasped the air and crashed it against the floor. The spider web-shaped crack appeared on the floor as the air turned into a man in black.
In his death, his eyes widened in shock and horror, clearly not expecting his target to be so decisive and powerful.
Li Fenshuang's body turned cold as he slowly removed his hand from the man. He stayed silent for a while.
"A 3rd Grade Martial Master wanted to assassinate me just now. But who?"
He didn't tremble, but he didn't remain unaffected either. He slowly looked at his hand, coated and dripped with the blood of the assassin.
He looked at the corpse. It took a while, but he finally heaved a sigh and clenched his hands.
Perhaps because he was a bit numb by training all day long, so he felt somewhat indifferent. Still, he felt a sense of nausea and reluctance.
But when he remembered how he would be killed, his heart turned even colder. His eyes no longer held disgust, only vigilance and rage.
"Victory and defeat meant nothing, but you wanted to kill me."
"I hope your fate is enough to handle the consequences."
Li Fenshuang roughly covered the corpse in a blanket and put it on a spot behind his house. He'll dispose of it at night. Perhaps he could call the local police and explain the situation. He's not in the wrong, after all.
He tried to find any of the assassin's belongings. Unfortunately, only a curved knife was found, along with some medical pills.
His expression was cold the whole time. He was still angry about the accident earlier. If not for the assassin's lack of vigilance, perhaps he had to abandon his house.
Who knows, perhaps the assassin would be a cowardly little bastard and try to fish him out by killing the elders here?
The more he speculated, the angrier he became.
The patience he built up by withstanding his unreasonable boss in his past life played its part in this situation. Soon, his head turned ice cold again, and his gaze became concentrated and sharp.
This is the difference between a Martial Master who has killed and those who haven't yet! It was an important development for a Martial Master to mature.
After all, a Martial Master would kill, sooner or later.
