TL: Etude
"It seems we've triggered some mechanism, causing a large number of golden armored zombie puppets to appear!"
Ye Tian frowned.
He had long suspected that there were more than one golden armored zombie puppet in a building. If there were only one, then once someone killed it, wouldn't the people who came after not encounter any golden armored zombie puppets?
But in reality, that was not the case.
Ye Tian speculated that the golden armored zombie puppets were hidden deeper within an array space, difficult to find.
Now, having broken the array, the zombie puppets in the array space all ran out at once.
Among them, some had combat power not inferior to four or five-star King-level fighters, especially the one that had just flung Sun Xinghe away, obviously a seven-star King-level golden armored zombie puppet.
This seven-star King-level golden armored zombie puppet must have been a seven-star talent in life, but was refined into a puppet after death.
Ye Tian detected a strong talent in it.
Type: Golden Armored Zombie Puppet
Cultivation Talent: Morning Star-Level
Defensive Talent: Pseudo-Mystic (40%)
Strength Talent: Top-Level
Swordsmanship Talent: Morning Star
Speed Talent: Pseudo-Mystic-Level (20%)
The puppet's speed and strength talents were much lower than a normal seven-star King-level fighter, but it possessed a Morning Star-Level swordsmanship talent.
Seeing the Morning Star-Level talent of this golden armored zombie puppet, Ye Tian was tempted.
He also practiced sword techniques, and such a talent was too important.
He had always thought that above top-level swordsmanship talent would be pseudo-mystic, but now realized he was wrong. Weapon and martial arts talents, like cultivation talents, need to be cultivated and do not belong to the same category as other special talents.
Now knowing about Morning Star-Level swordsmanship talent, it means there must be Moonlight-Level swordsmanship talent. However, it seems humans do not have high weapon talents, as even Zhonghai Super Base does not have a Morning Star-Level swordsmanship talent.
"Copy!"
Ye Tian used one copy opportunity on the Morning Star-Level swordsmanship talent of the golden armored zombie puppet.
As for the second copy opportunity?
In the end, Ye Tian chose the pseudo-mystic defensive talent. The golden armored zombie puppet's pseudo-mystic defensive talent was at 40%, while its pseudo-mystic speed talent was only at 20%.
Moreover, once he copied this pseudo-mystic defensive talent, perhaps he could truly elevate it to a mystery-level.
Originally, Ye Tian planned to copy Tiger's 50% pseudo-mystic defensive talent, but since he hadn't encountered him, he decided to copy the 40% pseudo-mystic defensive talent of this golden armored zombie puppet.
"Copy!"
He acquired the 40% pseudo-mystic defensive talent.
Just then, a large number of golden armored zombie puppets attacked Ye Tian, including the seven-star King-level one.
"Die!"
Ye Tian waved his hand, and a sea of fire descended.
This was Ye Tian's 30% pseudo-mystic fire domain talent.
Boom!
Countless flames burned many weaker golden armored zombie puppets to ash, but for the stronger ones, these flames were like tickling.
Even so, he killed more than 100 golden armored zombie puppets.
At the same time, Ye Tian also killed the seven-star King-level golden armored zombie puppet and collected its body, which had a 20% pseudo-mystic speed talent for future copying.
Just as Ye Tian was about to attack other golden armored zombie puppets, a terrifying aura came from the depths of the hall.
"A Saint-level puppet!"
Ye Tian's expression changed.
A black zombie puppet burst out from the hall, its aura far stronger than that of an ordinary Saint-level.
This was definitely a top-tier Saint-level zombie puppet!
"Go!"
Ye Tian didn't dare to linger and kept teleporting away.
After teleporting a great distance, he finally stopped.
Alone, Ye Tian dug a small hole in the ground and began to integrate the talents he had just acquired.
"First, integrate the pseudo-mystic defensive talent!"
Ye Tian was somewhat excited about the birth of a mystery-level talent and decided to first integrate the pseudo-mystic defensive talent.
Boom!
The integration began!
In an instant, dense defensive mystic fluctuations appeared on Ye Tian's body, forming threads that seemed to be etched into his skin.
But Ye Tian, consumed by unbearable pain, didn't notice this.
After an unknown duration, Ye Tian finally regained consciousness.
He had passed out.
The first thing he did was to check his talent status.
[Defensive Talent: Mystic Level]
"Mystic-Level Defensive Talent, my first mystic-level talent!"
Ye Tian was excited.
Immediately, he tested the amplification effect of the mystic-level talent.
Unable to connect to the virtual world through the War God Ring in this space, he couldn't use the virtual world to test the effect. Instead, he resorted to the simplest method: attacking himself.
The test concluded quickly.
"100 times amplification!"
Ye Tian was very satisfied.
A Mystic-Level Defensive Talent that could increase defense by 100 times was already incredibly powerful. Coupled with his top-level healing talent and the Pseudo-Mystic-Level Vajra Bone Talent, he was nearly invincible.
Moreover, Ye Tian could clearly feel that the defensive mystique had fully integrated with his body.
When activating the Mystic-Level Talent, faint patterns of laws even appeared on his skin, which were the talent patterns engraved by the laws.
Mystic-Level Talent had become as innate as his bodily instincts, completely fused with his soul and body.
Furthermore.
"Mystic-Level Defensive Talent, activate!"
Hum!
A huge defensive shield enveloped Ye Tian, with mysterious defensive law patterns on it.
He had externalized his Mystic-Level Defensive Talent!
He knew what this meant.
Not only could he use the Mystic-Level Defensive Talent to protect himself, but also those around him.
In other words, the Mystic-Level Defensive Talent was far more powerful than the Pseudo-Mystic-Level one!
Next, Ye Tian began integrating the Morning Star-Level Swordsmanship Talent.
Ten minutes later.
The integration of Morning Star-Level Swordsmanship Talent was successful!
Now, Ye Tian's swordsmanship talent had evolved to Morning Star-Level.
[Swordsmanship Talent: Morning Star]
"Let's comprehend the sword intent!"
Holding a sword, Ye Tian cultivated his sword intent.
The previously obscure sword intent now flowed into his mind like water, breaking many shackles with ease, and allowing him to comprehend deeper levels of sword intent.
"The comprehension speed has increased at least fivefold. The Morning Star-Level Swordsmanship Talent is so incredible!"
Ye Tian was amazed, then smiled.
This space was definitely his treasure trove. To encounter such a rare Morning Star-Level Swordsmanship Talent here, there might be even more rare talents to discover.
"Time is running out. We were only allowed to stay in this space for a month, and ten days have already passed, leaving only 20 days. It's going to be very hard to make a significant gain in 20 days!"
Ye Tian frowned tightly.
He didn't want to give up the treasures in that hall, nor the golden armored zombie puppets. He wanted to kill them and take them away to slowly copy their talents later.
But his strength was not strong enough to defeat that Saint-level zombie puppet.
By his estimation, the Saint-level puppet's attack power was at least above 20 dragons.
Although his strength talent had increased to 50% Pseudo-Mystic-Level, giving him a 50 times strength amplification, his total attack power was only about 12 dragons, far less than the opponent's 20 dragons.
More crucially, the top-tier Saint-level puppet was too fast. If it weren't for his constant teleportation and the puppet's lack of interest in leaving the vicinity of the hall, he might not have escaped.
"As a King-level fighter, unless I possess multiple mystic-level talents or even elevate my strength talent to the mystic level, I can't defeat that Saint-level puppet, unless…"
Ye Tian thought of a plan…
