Purple Quality, Extreme Yang Body

All the way here.

Ye Liuyun had seen several more Talent Traits related to physique.

People died in the Imperial Prison every day, so it was perfectly normal for traits to drop.

Although collecting these traits had not allowed the blue-quality Strong and Robust trait to evolve again,

Ye Liuyun discovered something.

Beneath the Strong and Robust trait, there was an additional bar resembling a progress meter. Every time a highly similar trait fused into it, the meter rose a little.

Perhaps once the progress meter was full, the Talent Trait's quality could evolve once more.

This discovery made Ye Liuyun's fighting spirit surge even higher.

After making one round,

Ye Liuyun's character template had undergone earth-shaking changes.

"Talent Trait System!

Host: Ye Liuyun!

Realm: Second-Rate Martial Artist!

Martial Art: Wind Severing Saber Technique!

Talent Traits: Lucky (Purple), Strong and Robust (Blue), Blade Talent (Blue), Photographic Memory (Blue), Sword Talent (Green),"

"Photographic Memory (Blue): Your memory is excellent. Anything you have seen, you will never forget."

"Sword Talent (Green): You possess considerable talent in swordsmanship."

Though they were all blue- or green-quality Talent Traits, for the current Ye Liuyun,

he was already very satisfied.

He continued looking around for another two days. Thinking he had taken almost everything worth taking, he had planned to return after some time.

But then,

two Brocade Guards happened to escort a prisoner in from outside. He looked as though he had just been brought in and was about to be executed.

"Don't! Spare me, spare me! I'll never dare again."

The man looked like a frail scholar. His lower body was a bloody mess, as though he had just been castrated.

He begged weakly, but no matter how he pleaded or struggled, it was useless. The Brocade Guards on either side firmly tied him to the frame.

Of course, what truly caught Ye Liuyun's attention was this man's Talent Traits.

"Target: Ying Jing!

Realm: None!

Talent Traits: Scent Recognition (Green), Extreme Yang Body (Purple),"

"Scent Recognition (Green): You are exceptionally sensitive to women's scents."

"Extreme Yang Body (Purple): You are born with abundant yang energy. When cultivating corresponding martial arts, it produces unimaginable effects."

Scent Recognition was not worth paying attention to. What Ye Liuyun truly cared about was the talent called Extreme Yang Body.

Good heavens, it was even purple quality.

Other than the Lucky talent on himself, this was the first time Ye Liuyun had seen a purple-quality Talent Trait on someone else.

This Extreme Yang Body looked extraordinary at a glance.

Seeing that the execution had already begun, Ye Liuyun naturally did not stop it. Instead, he asked the Brocade Guard beside him,

"Why was this man arrested?"

"?"

The other man had just returned from outside. Though he found it somewhat strange, he saw Ye Liuyun's official uniform.

Without the slightest impatience, he explained,

"In reply to you, sir, this man was originally a servant in a court official's household. Because of his outstanding looks, he had affairs with many women in that household. After being discovered, he was sent here to us!"

That was actually putting it mildly.

After all, the official could hardly say outright that even his wife and concubines had been taken by this man, could he?

Did he want to keep any face at all?

Had the discovery come any later, every woman in his residence would have slept with the fellow.

"So that's how it was!"

Ye Liuyun nodded in understanding. No wonder he was a bloody mess.

Tsk, tsk. So your Extreme Yang Body's abundant yang energy was used for this sort of thing, was it?

This also taught Ye Liuyun that even if one had talent, it was useless without strength. Only a genius who grew strong was a true genius.

There were actually no shortage of talented people in this world.

Yet there were only a few who truly had the chance to display their talent.

"Sir, what is this?"

Seeing that Ye Liuyun had fallen silent after learning the details and was instead staring at Ying Jing being executed, the Brocade Guard beside him was somewhat puzzled.

"Nothing. I'll leave after he dies."

Ye Liuyun waved a hand. He had finally encountered a purple trait—of course he could not simply let it pass him by.

"..."

What kind of hobby was that? Did he enjoy watching people die?

The man was at a loss for words, but since Ye Liuyun had said so, he did not dare say anything else.

The various instruments of torture in the Brocade Guard could overwhelm even some martial artists, let alone Ying Jing, who had never cultivated and possessed no cultivation at all.

Even with the Extreme Yang Body, he did not last a full two hours.

Even in death, he wore an unwilling expression. Who knew what exactly he was so unwilling to accept?

The instant that purple talent floated out, Ye Liuyun decisively took it.

As for Scent Recognition, Ye Liuyun thought it over and took it as well.

For no other reason than pure curiosity.

"Talent Trait System!

Host: Ye Liuyun!

Realm: Second-Rate Martial Artist!

Martial Art: Wind Severing Saber Technique!

Talent Traits: Lucky (Purple), Strong and Robust (Blue), Blade Talent (Blue), Photographic Memory (Blue), Sword Talent (Green), Extreme Yang Body (Purple), Scent Recognition (Green),"

For the time being, he could not see any effect from the Scent Recognition talent.

But the instant he obtained Extreme Yang Body, Ye Liuyun felt heat bloom in his chest as a warm current coursed through every sinew and vein in his body.

"Phew!"

Comfortable! It felt even better than soaking in a Medicinal Bath.

Pop!

His heart jolted, and it sounded like the pop of a cupping jar being removed.

When he came back to his senses, he discovered that the few wisps of internal energy in his Dantian had begun to swell madly.

"I broke through?"

The moment he realized this, Ye Liuyun froze for an instant.

He truly had not expected that without even cultivating, merely obtaining the purple-quality Extreme Yang Body talent would allow him to break through directly.

When he checked his character template again, his realm, which had originally been that of a Second-Rate Martial Artist, had now become that of a First-Rate Martial Artist.

"Not bad! Not bad!"

This development made Ye Liuyun nod in immense satisfaction.

He had obtained everything he needed.

Ye Liuyun no longer hesitated and left at once.

Watching Ye Liuyun's departing back, the Brocade Guard beside him scratched his head in confusion.

Why was this lord so happy to see someone die?

No, surely he did not really have some strange hobby? Hiss, that was rather terrifying.

He shrank his neck and did not dare gossip about it.

"He really only looked around."

After Ye Liuyun left, Xiao Yongning summoned several subordinates.

Xiao Yongning had heard of Ye Liufeng. He was famously someone who never rose early without profit. Xiao Yongning had originally thought the man had some purpose in coming to his Imperial Prison.

But according to his subordinates' report, the man had apparently truly done nothing but watch someone else be executed.

Moreover, they said he seemed to enjoy seeing people die before his eyes.

"Could he really have some strange hobby?"

Xiao Yongning could not help muttering softly.

But he did not dwell on it. After all, practically everyone in his Imperial Prison had some strange hobby.
