Your Talent is Mine

TL: Etude

Boom!!! A soul hand of the Heavenly Treasure Soul Ape reached out, transforming into a gigantic hand, slapping toward Ye Tian.

The terrifying soul pressure permeated the surroundings, causing the void to tremble.

“Indeed, impressive!” Ye Tian remarked.

However, he wasn’t the least bit flustered. In terms of soul talent, he was not inferior to this Heavenly Treasure Soul Ape; in fact, he was even more formidable.

Moreover, he possessed the power of the Chaos Dao and other talents. Even if those other talents couldn’t exert their full power, they still increased his strength somewhat.

Therefore, he didn’t fear this Heavenly Treasure Soul Ape.

“Soul Battle Armor talent, activate!”

“Soul Defense talent, activate!”

Ye Tian activated one soul talent after another, facing the Heavenly Treasure Soul Ape with the strongest stance.

Boom!!! Ye Tian’s spear collided with the Heavenly Treasure Soul Ape’s soul hand.

At the same time, Ye Tian also used the Purple Pupil Soul Eye, attempting to bind the Heavenly Treasure Soul Ape while using time and space powers to affect it.

With multiple methods at his disposal, Ye Tian’s soul spear remained intact, while the Heavenly Treasure Soul Ape’s soul hand cracked.

In this exchange, Ye Tian had the upper hand.

After all, Ye Tian possessed the power of the Chaos Dao, coupled with his formidable soul talents and other techniques, naturally surpassing the Heavenly Treasure Soul Ape.

Ye Tian and the Heavenly Treasure Soul Ape continued to clash. Although he suppressed the ape, its soul defense talent reached the Mystic level, and its soul strength was exceptionally high.

Therefore, Ye Tian only managed to inflict minor injuries on the Heavenly Treasure Soul Ape. Quickly ending the battle was not feasible.

Time passed bit by bit. Ye Tian gave it his all, and in a blink, half a day had passed.

By this time, Ye Tian’s celestial soul force was severely depleted, but the Heavenly Treasure Soul Ape was also significantly exhausted and heavily injured.

Soul injuries were not ordinary wounds. Recovery was very difficult. Quiet rest and the consumption of certain soul-restorative medicines could indeed facilitate quick recovery.

However, in battle, quickly restoring the soul was extremely challenging.

Hence, the Heavenly Treasure Soul Ape was destined to find it hard to recover from its injuries during the fight.

After a while longer, under Ye Tian’s full-strength soul spear, the Heavenly Treasure Soul Ape finally dissipated.

Thus, Ye Tian passed the third round of assessment.

“Third round assessment successful, fourth round assessment is about to begin!”

The Artifact Spirit’s voice rang out.

Ye Tian initially thought the fourth round assessment would still be a battle, but he was mistaken.

“Where is this…”

Ye Tian looked around, discovering he was in a secret chamber.

In the secret chamber, there was only a special diagram suspended in the air, or rather, condensed from countless rays of light.

Apart from that, there was nothing else! At this moment, the Artifact Spirit appeared, standing in front of him.

“You did well to pass the third round of assessment. In the history of the Ghost Race, only one person has passed the third round, and that was through cheating with special methods.

To pass the fourth round, I hope you can succeed. Because the core inheritance of the Nether King Civilization requires at least passing the fourth round; otherwise, you won’t be qualified to receive it.” The Artifact Spirit stated.

“I’ll do my best!” Ye Tian replied.

“Let me explain the fourth round of assessment. This is a soul secret diagram, completely formed by soul laws.

One could say that this diagram is also a form of inheritance, albeit a lower-level one.

Although you have comprehended soul mystic, the mystic is merely the external manifestation of the laws. Therefore, for you, the soul laws within this diagram are quite profound.

However, you still have hope of passing the fourth round of assessment.

The fourth round only required one thing: to inscribe this soul law diagram.

As long as you could inscribe thirty percent of it, you would pass the assessment. If you could inscribe it entirely, you would receive additional rewards.

“I don’t think you can inscribe the whole diagram, so try to inscribe at least thirty percent!” After saying this, the Artifact Spirit disappeared.

“Inscribe the law diagram, huh?”

Ye Tian stared at the diagram, murmuring to himself.

“Remember, your time is limited to only half a year. Time laws are prohibited here, and forcibly using them would be ineffective and might even hinder your comprehension!”

The Artifact Spirit’s voice echoed again.

Half a year wasn’t long. For Ye Tian, though the fourth round didn’t involve fighting, it was still incredibly challenging.

“First, I’ll copy all the soul talents I acquired from the Heavenly Treasure Soul Ape. Having more Mystic-level soul talents would make my comprehension of soul laws easier!”

Thus, Ye Tian began integrating and copying the soul talents from the Heavenly Treasure Soul Ape.

Several hours later, Ye Tian finished copying all the soul talents from the Heavenly Treasure Soul Ape.

At this point, Ye Tian possessed several Mystic-level soul talents.

For instance, the Soul Defense talent, Soul Battle Armor talent, Soul Hand talent, and several other soul talents were close to the Mystic level.

“Let’s start comprehending this soul law diagram. Without any understanding, inscribing it would be impossible!” Ye Tian thought to himself.

Previously, he had almost never heard of soul laws. In the universe, top-tier soul talents were the limit, and comprehending soul mystics was already extremely difficult, let alone understanding soul laws.

Even Supreme beings hadn’t studied soul laws.

This was an entirely new path. Even if a Supreme-level expert came here, they might not be better than Ye Tian; their higher realm might even make the assessment more difficult.

Soon, Ye Tian immersed himself in the profoundness of soul laws. His entire soul seemed to transcend to a higher level.

At this moment, he realized the intricacy, complexity, and importance of the soul.

In today’s universe, people primarily focused on cultivating their physical bodies and energy. Few delved into the soul, and there were almost no mainstream practices centered on the soul.

“It’s so marvelous! I wish I could comprehend it for ages!” Ye Tian murmured.

But now, his time was limited. He had to understand the soul law diagram within half a year and inscribe it.

To speed up his comprehension, Ye Tian even activated his talent for insight.

Time passed bit by bit. Ye Tian didn’t waste a single moment, fully dedicating himself to understanding the soul law diagram.

Finally, half a year passed.

“Assessor, inscribe the law diagram now!”

The Artifact Spirit’s voice descended.

“Alright!”

Ye Tian used his hand as a pen, manipulating a strand of soul law to begin inscribing in the void.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!! Strands of soul laws began to intersect, slowly forming a diagram.

Ye Tian inscribed very slowly, and it took him a full three hours to complete it.

“Initiate detection!” The Artifact Spirit’s voice sounded.

After about a minute, the Artifact Spirit said, “Inscription completion: seventy percent, exceeding the requirement!”

“Seventy percent, not bad!” Ye Tian nodded to himself.

This was close to his expectation. He had hoped to inscribe the entire soul law diagram, but his exposure to soul laws was too brief. No matter how exceptional his talent, achieving a full inscription was challenging.

Completing seventy percent, he felt, was already very satisfying.
