That was a joke. Joining Martial Pavilion would only bring him trouble, not benefits.
If Ye Tian were only an Intermediate-grade or High-grade Cultivation Talent, he would have joined Martial Pavilion. It was huge, with countless resources and the best training.
But he could keep improving his Talent and might become the person with the highest Talent on Earth.
Joining Martial Pavilion meant Talent testing. What if his Talent kept growing?
How would he explain constantly gaining items that improved Talent? Once or twice might be excusable, but constantly? No one would believe it.
Even if Martial Pavilion valued him, they'd covet his secrets, and Copying Talent would be exposed.
Ye Tian understood his situation clearly: he would not join any faction to avoid endless trouble.
Though he might form his own faction someday.
"You actually refused!" Yue Ling'er was shocked. "Do you know how huge Martial Pavilion is? They can wipe out all of Seaside Base with just one expert!"
She couldn't understand why Ye Tian gave up such an opportunity.
Even in large bases, countless geniuses wanted to join Martial Pavilion but had no chance.
"I really don't want to join any faction," Ye Tian repeated.
"Fine then."
Yue Ling'er gave up.
After a brief chat, Ye Tian left.
After he left, an elder came from the next room.
"Miss, why invite a Martial Artist from a small base? Even if he's young, what geniuses could Seaside Base have? At most, Intermediate-grade Cultivation Talents. Such talents aren't geniuses in large numbers, unless they have special Talents. Those are the ones Martial Pavilion needs," the elder questioned.
"Nothing much. I just thought it was good to recruit such a young Martial Artist in a place like Seaside Base. I planned to take him as a disciple but didn't expect him to refuse Martial Pavilion, so he won't be my disciple," Yue Ling'er replied indifferently.
To Yue Ling'er and the elder, Ye Tian was insignificant.
But for Ye Tian, this was a small opportunity.
He was destined to stay long in Seaside Base. He had thought it would take a long time to copy a High-grade Cultivation Talent, but he met a genius from a big base and succeeded.
He had originally thought reaching Elite Martial Artist level would take years, but with High-grade Cultivation Talent, he believed he could advance within one or two years.
Back home,
Ye Yu had gone to school. Ye Tian was alone and immediately began fusion.
Boom!
Long-missed intense pain surged through his mind and body, as if being torn apart.
Ten minutes passed.
Ye Tian felt refreshed all over and breathed a long sigh of relief.
He thought about his Talent status.
Human: Ye Tian
Cultivation Talent: High-grade
Speed Talent: Basic-grade
Blade Talent: Intermediate-grade
Shadow Talent: Basic-grade
"My High-grade Cultivation Talent is a fusion of my original Intermediate-grade Cultivation Talent and Yue Ling'er's High-grade Cultivation Talent. In terms of talent, mine is even stronger than Yue Ling'er's!" Ye Tian thought.
He then took out the Yuan Force Body Tempering Method and studied it carefully, also rereading the Martial Artist information booklet.
After a long time, Ye Tian gained a rough understanding of Martial Artist cultivation.
Actually, Martial Apprentices' Body Tempering Method was truly called Basic Body-Tempering Technique. Martial Artists also needed to temper their bodies, as the body was the foundation.
Martial Artists' Yuan Force Body Tempering Method differed from Basic Body-Tempering Technique. The latter developed potential and tempered the body, while the former absorbed Yuan Qi from heaven and earth, refined it into Yuan Force stored in the dantian, and then used the method to temper the body.
Early-stage Martial Artists tempered the skin, mid-stage tempered muscles, and late-stage tempered bones and head.
When Skin Tempering, Muscle Tempering, and Bone Tempering were all complete, one reached Martial Artist peak, possessing strength of ten thousand pounds. Using Yuan Force, a peak Martial Artist could exert twice that, equivalent to twenty thousand pounds.
"According to Martial Artist info, ten thousand pounds is Martial Artist's limit; one hundred thousand pounds is Elite Martial Artist's limit. The limit for Great Martial Artists is unknown. Even one hundred thousand pounds is terrifying!" Ye Tian gasped.
Only now did he truly realize the strength of Martial Artists—far greater than he imagined.
He was still weak, just over a thousand pounds of strength, and had not yet started cultivating Yuan Force Body Tempering Method or formed Yuan Force. He was not a true early-stage Martial Artist yet.
"Begin cultivation!"
Ye Tian performed the nine movements in Yuan Force Body Tempering Method and began absorbing Yuan Qi from the surroundings.
Boom!
Streams of Yuan Qi flowed into Ye Tian's body through pores, transformed by the method into Yuan Force, and stored in his dantian.
Then Yuan Force surged from the dantian to his skin, beginning to temper it.
Immediately, a tingling sensation and slight pain came from his skin.
Ye Tian knew this meant his skin was being tempered. Only by strengthening the skin could the body resist weapons.
While tempering his skin, Ye Tian clearly felt his strength increase—much more than when he was a Martial Apprentice.
"Low Talent Martial Artists have difficulty absorbing Yuan Qi when cultivating this method. For example, Basic-grade Cultivation Talent Martial Artists absorb Yuan Qi very slowly, advancing at a turtle's pace. Lesser-grade Cultivation Talent Martial Artists can't absorb Yuan Qi at all, losing their way after becoming Martial Artists. Even with Intermediate-grade Ferocious Beast Blood, they struggle to absorb it. But as a High-grade Cultivation Talent, I can absorb much more Yuan Qi. The Talent difference is huge!" Ye Tian thought as he cultivated.
After a while, Ye Tian tried using Intermediate-grade Ferocious Beast Blood to assist cultivation.
Intermediate-grade Ferocious Beast Blood contained powerful blood energy, better tempering the body and skin. Using it sped up cultivation far beyond just practicing Yuan Force Body Tempering Method.
As a High-grade Cultivation Talent, his absorption of Intermediate-grade Ferocious Beast Blood far exceeded that of Intermediate-grade Cultivation Talents.
He soon tested it and concluded:
"A triple boost, increasing cultivation speed by three times at Martial Artist level. That's quite good!"
Ye Tian was very satisfied.
