Chapter 124: The Defense Secret: Understood!

TL: Etude

"Silver-tier blade technique!"

Ye Tian was incredibly excited. The silver-tier blade technique he had so desperately yearned for turned out to be of his own creation.

If anyone were told that a grandmaster had created a silver-tier blade technique, no one would believe it.

Of course, this achievement was not solely due to the Enlightenment Stele; Ye Tian's top-tier talent in blade techniques also played a significant role.

Without that elite talent in blade techniques, even if he had the talent for enlightenment, he wouldn't have been able to create a silver-tier blade technique. In fact, even with average talent, creating a bronze-tier blade technique would be highly unlikely.

It took exceptional talent combined with the extraordinary Enlightenment Stele to create this silver-tier blade technique.

"I have a feeling that given enough time, I could even create a gold-tier blade technique. A month is far from enough, even a year might not suffice!" Ye Tian speculated.

Therefore, he abandoned the idea of developing a gold-tier blade technique.

For this self-created silver-tier blade technique, Ye Tian chose a name—Heavenly Extreme Slash!

According to Ye Tian's calculations, the Heavenly Extreme Slash was a perfect fit for him and would boost his strength far more than it would for others. The entry-level Heavenly Extreme Slash could amplify the attack by eight times, the intermediate level by nine times, the advanced level by ten times, and the perfected level by twelve times.

Typically, a silver-tier attack-type blade technique would offer an amplification of around eleven times at most.

However, it wasn't just the twelve-fold amplification of attack power that made Heavenly Extreme Slash formidable. It could also double one's speed when mastered to the perfect level.

If word got out about such a silver-tier blade technique, it would certainly incite fierce competition among those with blade talents, even to the point of life and death struggles.

"Mastering blade techniques isn't the real purpose of the Enlightenment Stele. The real benefit lies in improving one's comprehension. It's because my comprehension has improved that I've been able to create a silver-tier blade technique. As for the so-called increase in intelligence, that's merely the residual effects of the Enlightenment Stele. How ridiculous it is for these heavenly kirin beasts to consider this a benefit! I can't waste the remaining twenty or so days; I should focus on comprehending blade intent," Ye Tian thought.

Ye Tian believed that only by using blade techniques effectively could the true purpose of the Enlightenment Stele be realized.

His current understanding of blade intent was only 21%. But with the help of the Enlightenment Stele, he could definitely improve quickly.

Comprehending!

Countless complex mysteries of blade intent flickered through Ye Tian's mind as he started to absorb the essence of blade intent.

Gradually, his understanding of blade intent soared.

21%!

22%!

23%!

24%!

25%!

His understanding was improving every moment. This rate of improvement was unachievable in the outside world; a day of hard practice here was equivalent to a month or even two in the outside world.

Given his top-tier blade talent, the rate of improvement was simply staggering!

Ten days had passed.

"60% blade intent!"

Ye Tian opened his eyes, filled with excitement.

Achieving 60% blade intent meant that he could master a silver-tier blade technique to its perfected state. If he were to improve further, reaching 70% blade intent, he would qualify to practice gold-tier blade techniques.

The higher the blade intent, the harder it is to improve. Ye Tian calculated that with the remaining days, he could not bring his blade intent to 70%, and even if he did, mastering a gold-tier blade technique would be out of the question.

Thus, Ye Tian was in no hurry to continue comprehending blade intent.

"Maybe I can try improving my special talents," Ye Tian considered.

Other Tianlin beasts could improve their unique talents, and naturally, so could he. Although the probability was low, what if he really could make that improvement? Wouldn't that be a great gain?

Ye Tian chose to comprehend defensive talents.

Deep within his soul...

Deep within his soul, Ye Tian activated his innate talent for defense, combining it with his enlightenment talent. His talent mark was a pseudo-mystery level, yet when manifested in this ferocious beast's body, it was merely top-tier. However, this didn't mean that his talent mark had also been downgraded.

So, Ye Tian was comprehending a pseudo-mystery-level defensive talent. Influenced by the aura of the Enlightenment Stele, he remained motionless, as calm as an ancient bell, with an increasingly mysterious aura enveloping

Three days passed, and suddenly Ye Tian felt as though he had gained some insight. "Why is it 'pseudo'? Because I haven't yet grasped the true mystery. A top-tier talent is the limit of a talent; the so-called mystery talents are actually just top-tier talents, combined with the mystery to form a stronger talent. And only those with top-tier talents have the qualification to comprehend mysteries; top-tier talents are the threshold for understanding mysteries."

Although Ye Tian had this insight, he hadn't yet comprehended the mystery. A mystery is a manifestation of the law, also called the "Law of Mystery," which Ye Tian didn't yet know. He only knew that mysteries existed in the universe and in all things. Only a talent that has comprehended the mystery is a perfect talent that truly belongs to oneself!

Comprehending a mystery was extremely difficult, even for Ye Tian, whose comprehension ability had been enhanced many times under the Enlightenment Stele.

With only about ten days left, could he comprehend it? Ye Tian didn't know, but he was unwilling to give up.

Comprehend! Comprehend! Comprehend!

Ye Tian's whole body and soul were immersed in defensive mysteries. Time ticked away, and there was only one day left before the Enlightenment Stele's period would end.

On the last day, Ye Tian had a flash of insight and numerous realizations flooded his mind. "So this is the mystery of defense!" Ye Tian laughed.

He activated his defensive talent, and its power began to fully integrate with his body. A strange fluctuation emanated from him; it was the power of mystery. Contrary to his expectations, even after grasping the defensive mystery, his talent did not reach the mystery level.

Defensive Talent: Pseudo-Mystery (30%)

The so-called 30% meant that Ye Tian's defensive talent had integrated 30% with his body, compared to zero before. This indicated that he had taken a big step on the road to mystery-level defensive talent; when the integration reached 100%, his defensive talent would completely transform into a mystery-level defensive talent—a truly game-changing talent!

Ye Tian tested it out; his pseudo-mystery-level defensive talent was no longer boosted 30 times, but 35 times. Although it was only a minor improvement, it was a good start.

He had already gained a trace of insight into the defensive mystery. As long as he continued to comprehend, he would inevitably reach the level of mystery-level defensive talent, which was far better than others who had no hope at all. "More importantly, I also have the copy talent. If I encounter a pseudo-mystery-level talent, I can copy it, and the degree of integration will progress quickly!"

Ye Tian looked forward to this day, but also knew that the chance of encountering another pseudo-mystery-level defensive talent, or any other pseudo-mystery-level talents, was extremely small.

It was because he had laid the perfect foundation that he could step into the realm of pseudo-mystery-level talents. Others, if they couldn't lay a perfect foundation, wouldn't be able to step into the realm of pseudo-mystery-level talents unless they had special opportunities.

"Not thinking too much, let's continue to comprehend!"

Ye Tian prepared to use the last day to comprehend the defensive mystery and elevate his understanding of it. However, something unexpected happened...
