Ye Tian stepped forward and plucked the golden fruit.
The fruit was small, only one bite's worth.
After a moment of hesitation, Ye Tian decisively swallowed it whole.
The golden fruit turned into a torrent of energy flowing into his body, then a massive power burst surged into his mind, overwhelming him and causing him to lose consciousness.
Unbeknownst to Ye Tian, deep in his mind during the unconsciousness, glowing points appeared.
These points were various colors, with a golden one at the center symbolizing the highest, most noble, and special.
This gold was unrelated to the fruit's color, just coincidentally the same.
If Ye Tian had seen this, he would have guessed these points were his Talent marks, with the golden one representing Copying Talent—his most important Talent.
The energy torrent was absorbed by the golden point rapidly, which grew visibly larger, brighter, and more intense.
It was evolving, transforming, and upgrading.
…
"I actually fainted!"
Ye Tian awoke, surprised and somewhat frightened.
Thankfully, it was safe here—if unconscious in a dangerous place, he might have faced peril.
Standing up, he saw Little Gold watching nearby.
"Little Gold, did you faint when you ate the fruit?"
Ye Tian asked.
"Yes, Master!"
Little Gold answered honestly.
"Why didn't you warn me?" Ye Tian scolded playfully.
"You didn't ask!"
Little Gold felt a bit wronged.
Ye Tian laughed; he couldn't blame Little Gold—after all, it was smart but not truly human.
"Check Talents!"
Ye Tian thought, and his Talents appeared before his eyes.
Human: Ye Tian
Cultivation Talent: High-grade
Speed Talent: Top
Blade Talent: Intermediate-grade
Shadow Talent: Basic
Healing Talent: Top
Strength Talent: High-grade
"Huh? No change?"
Ye Tian was surprised and a little disappointed.
He had expected a transformation in his Talents. The golden fruit looked extraordinary, and Little Gold's Talents had immediately surged to Top Bloodline Talent.
His Cultivation Talent was already High-grade and should have easily advanced to Top.
"Maybe it enhanced other Talents?"
Ye Tian wondered.
But careful inspection showed no difference.
Still, he noticed some changes in his body.
First, his spirit had improved greatly, and he had developed spiritual power.
His spiritual power could perceive a ten-meter radius—less than the twenty meters Great Martial Artists could sense, but a breakthrough nonetheless.
He had never heard of anyone at Elite Martial Artist level possessing spiritual power; this was something to be proud of.
But when he asked Little Gold, he learned Little Gold's spiritual power covered thirty meters, which was a big blow.
Of course, Ye Tian understood this was due to Little Gold's higher cultivation. His spiritual power would grow as he reached the peak of Elite Martial Artist.
Besides this, Ye Tian found another change.
His Copying Talent's detection range had expanded to fifty meters, allowing easier observation of Talents from others or Ferocious Beasts.
However…
"Ah, a bit frustrating. Little Gold became powerful after eating the fruit, but I only gained spiritual power and a slightly extended Copying Talent range—not even close to Little Gold's gains!"
Ye Tian felt very disappointed.
Still, any improvement was welcome—it was a free gift.
"Ten days until I can Copy Talent again—better stay here and train for now!"
Ye Tian decided.
During these ten days, Ye Tian and Little Gold hunted Advanced Ferocious Beasts together.
According to Little Gold, the Ferocious Beast clans in Xiao Qianye Forest had strong territorial instincts, so finding Advanced Ferocious Beasts was not difficult.
With their teamwork, Advanced Ferocious Beasts were no match and easily slain.
By arrangement, Ye Tian took High-grade Ferocious Beast blood, and Little Gold took the corpses.
Soon ten days passed.
"1,600 portions of High-grade Ferocious Beast blood—enough for a long training session!"
Ye Tian was very satisfied looking at the small blood pool.
Soon, however, a problem arose.
There was too much blood; he couldn't carry it all. His water flask could only hold so much.
"Ah, if only I had a Storage Pouch!"
Ye Tian sighed.
The next day, Ye Tian's Copying Talent was ready again.
He planned to copy Little Gold's Stamina Talent—not for lack of wanting others, but because he hadn't found better Talents yet.
Ferocious Beasts had higher chances of special Talents than humans, but encountering truly special Talents was rare. Most were Lesser-grade or Basic-grade, which he rejected.
Compared to that, Little Gold's Intermediate-grade Stamina Talent was somewhat useful.
As Ye Tian approached Little Gold, he suddenly froze.
"What…"
On his retina appeared Little Gold's Talent status—besides Top Speed Talent, all other Talents had a "Copy" button.
He recognized this—it meant these Talents were copyable.
The key point: he hadn't even touched Little Gold!
"Could it be…"
Ye Tian's breath quickened.
He finally understood why the golden fruit hadn't visibly transformed his Talents—it was because his Copying Talent had evolved or transformed.
"Right! Copying Talent itself is a Talent!"
Ye Tian realized.
From what he saw, Copying Talent had broken the limitation of needing physical contact and could now copy from a distance.
This was much more convenient. Previously, if he encountered a powerful Talent but couldn't physically reach the target, he couldn't copy it—what a pity!
Now, that problem was solved.
"If I can copy remotely, I won't rush to copy Little Gold's Stamina Talent. Stamina Talent isn't that useful. If I can find High-grade Cultivation Talent in Seaside Base, copying that might upgrade my Cultivation Talent to Top! For example, Lin Wanli of Lin Family is High-grade Cultivation Talent. I wouldn't need to touch him—just get close enough and copy remotely."
So Ye Tian planned to give up copying Little Gold for now.
