Chapter 2: Copying Talent
TL: Etude
"What's going on?"
Ye Tian was somewhat bewildered. At first glance, he thought it was an illusion, but after a while, he was certain that what he saw was not an illusion.
"Is this a golden finger (cheat ability)? No, perhaps this is my hidden talent!"
Ye Tian thought for a moment and realized.
Ye Yu was only 13 years old and had not yet reached the age for cultivation, but cultivation talent was determined at birth, so it was normal for Ye Yu to have cultivation talent. However, the Ice talent belonged to talents outside of cultivation talent, which was very rare, one in a million. If she awakened it in the future, she would definitely be able to dominate opponents of the same level, and even potentially fight against higher-level opponents.
"It is said that after becoming a martial warrior, one can absorb spiritual energy, and hidden talents will slowly awaken, but people with other talents are too rare. I didn't expect my sister to have the rare Ice talent."
"But is my talent just being able to see other people's talents?"
Ye Tian felt that his talent was definitely not that simple.
Soon, he tested some things.
When he touched his sister, he found that behind the cultivation talent in the virtual display, there was an option to copy.
That was to say, he could copy his sister's low cultivation talent.
However, he could not copy the Ice talent since it had not yet awakened.
"Do you want to copy?"
Faced with this choice, Ye Tian naturally refused.
Low talent, although better than his weak talent, was still rubbish, and even if he copied it, it would be of little use.
After sending his sister away, Ye Tian sat alone in his room to check his talent.
"I can see my sister's talents, so I should be able to see my own talents, right?" Ye Tian thought to himself.
So, Ye Tian focused his attention on himself.
Soon, information about his talent appeared on his retina.
Human: Ye Tian
Cultivation Talent: Weak
It was a simple talent situation, which showed that Ye Tian had only weak cultivation talent and no other hidden talents. In the words of this era, he was a standard waste, just a little better than an ordinary person without any talent.
"Now that I have figured out the basic situation, my amazing ability is probably the mysterious talent that caused me to explode and die, which followed me through reincarnation. This talent should be called the Copy Talent, able to copy other people's talents. Whether it overwrites my talent or merges with my own talent, I need to experiment. Also, copying others' talents requires touching them, which is a bit troublesome, but perhaps it will change in the future!"
With these thoughts in mind, Ye Tian formulated a plan: he would copy the cultivation talent of a genius because, with his own weak talent, he could not hope to reach the level of a martial warrior in his lifetime.
And without becoming a martial warrior, life in the future would not be easy.
Ye Tian's parents had been killed by ferocious beasts a year ago. Now, only he and his sister remained in their family. This was the current state of many families, as humanity continues to survive in this era. People died every moment, and countless families had been shattered.
The place where Ye Tian resided was a small base called Linhai Base. The base housed a total of three hundred thousand people, among which only about a thousand were martial warriors. These martial warriors had privileges that ordinary people couldn't enjoy.
Ye Tian's deceased parents were warriors that were unfortunately killed on a mission outside. Even though they died, the base provided certain compensations to their family, such as a subsidy that could be claimed until the age of 15, ensuring their livelihood.
However, once they turned 15 years old, the subsidy would not continue.
Ye Tian had reached 15 years old, so he would no longer receive the subsidy. Only his younger sister Ye Yu would receive the subsidy, but the amount could only support one person.
Both siblings were young and had no way to make money. To save money, he and his sister even dropped out of school early.
At Linhai Base, children could attend school from the age of nine until fifteen. Education regarding language, mathematics, and knowledge about ferocious beasts was provided. Since Ye Tian and Ye Yu had learned enough, dropping out didn't impact them too much.
"My parents left a small inheritance," Ye Tian thought, "Although it's not much, it's enough for me to live on for a few years. But what about the future? If I don't become a martial warrior, I'll have to work for others."
Work for others? That was impossible. He would never do that in his lifetime. Becoming a martial warrior was the only way out in this era!
"I'll go out and wander the streets!"
After making up his mind, Ye Tian instructed his sister to stay at home and then went out alone.
The streets were bustling with people coming and going. Most were ordinary people, some were martial disciples, and only a few were martial warriors.
These martial warriors emitted a strong aura, which made it hard to breathe if one got too close.
Low talent!
Low talent!
Weak talent!
Low talent!
As Ye Tian wandered, he found that most people had weak or low talents. He didn't see many with even basic talent, except for a few warriors.
"It seems that in Linhai Base, even basic talent is considered very good!" Ye Tian frowned.
But it made sense. Linhai Base was only a small base, and its strongest person was said to be only a great martial warrior. Low talent could be cultivated to the early stages of a martial warrior, while basic talent guaranteed becoming a martial warrior, with a slight chance to become an elite martial warrior. Medium talent guaranteed becoming an elite martial warrior, with a slight chance to become a great martial warrior.
The Grand Warrior of Linhai Base was already very old and was probably only of medium talent.
"Medium talent, at least replace someone with medium talent to copy," Ye Tian thought. "I can't get close to those warriors. If I touch them, I might get killed. A warrior killing an ordinary person may only result in a fine, especially for someone like me without a background. I can't risk copying the talent of a warrior!"
"The base has 300,000 people, and my copy talent can only view others' talents within three meters. This distance is too short. It's slow to check one by one. If I check each person's talent one by one, it will be too slow. The best way is to replace specific people, inquire about fast-progressing martial disciples, then check their talents. If I replace medium or higher talents, I will replicate. I don't believe that in such a large Linhai Base, there isn't a single medium talent!"
Most martial apprentices were concentrated in the five major academies of Linhai Base. As long as you were 15 years old, you can attend these academies. Except for the first academy, which required basic talent or certain connections, the other academies had no requirements.
"My previous plan was to awaken a basic talent and attend the first academy, but now, even if I have basic talent, I don't dare to go there," Ye Tian sighed. "They require talent testing. If others replace out about my talent and it becomes higher later, I'll be cut into pieces for research."
Now, his only option was to attend other academies.
In fact, he had to go to a college to learn body tempering methods. Martial disciples couldn't absorb Qi, so they had to practice body tempering to enhance their bodies, allowing them to have the strength of a thousand pounds (catties) and become martial warriors.
