Rallying Again, Seven Talent Traits!

Lin Yuan had gone mad!

He had been utterly driven mad by the insane amount of experience he had calculated.

He had never imagined that the "simple," "joyful," "passionate" little game he had envisioned could produce such horrifying numbers.

Still less had he imagined that the phrases "one Infinite Aeon of Calamity rabbits" and "530 million years" could ever be put together!

The game designers had gone beyond merely filling in the values with their feet—they had completely lost their minds, unable to tell heaven from earth...

"Calm down!"

"Be rational!"

"This is only the experience needed to reach Level 100. Worst comes to worst, I just won't level up, right?"

Lin Yuan fiercely slapped his own face, trying to slap the numbers "one Infinite Aeon of Calamity" and "530 million" out of his mind.

Only after a long while did he barely manage to steady himself.

Because he had thought of more possibilities.

First of all, he did not actually have to pursue Level 100.

According to the game rules, he could draw a Talent Trait every time he leveled up. He had long since experienced just how heaven-defying those Talent Traits were. A few dozen Talent Traits would be enough to let him live high on the hog—why chase perfection?

Besides, experience was surely awarded in greater amounts by higher-level monsters. If his strength increased, if his Boundary rose, and the monsters he encountered were high enough level... then perhaps it was not entirely impossible?

"In any case, there's no need to be scared out of my wits. I just need to focus on what's in front of me."

Lin Yuan worked hard to adjust his mindset and regain his calm.

He looked at his status panel—

Player: Lin Yuan

Level: 3

Experience: 0/8

Talent Traits:

First Talent Trait—"Swordsmanship Mastery"

Second Talent Trait—"Martial Prodigy"

Third Talent Trait—"Immunity to All Poisons"

Three great Talent Traits: one gold, one purple, and one blue.

Every single one was heaven-defying.

Even the blue rare trait he had drawn last, "Immunity to All Poisons," had an excellent effect. It could negate the vast majority of poison-type damage, greatly increasing Lin Yuan's survivability.

Only then did Lin Yuan truly recover his vigor and rally himself again.

It had to be said that while this experience calculation system was terrifying, it also had its benefits.

"At the very least, leveling up is fast in the early stages. I can quickly obtain more Talent Traits, making the foundation of my Stellar Martial Path fuller and more solid."

Lin Yuan glanced at the experience bar, then at the boundless Gray Rabbit Plains before him, and smiled with easy grace.

Then let the grinding begin!

He would set a small goal: reach Level 10 first.

Ten Talent Traits... should be more than enough, right?

That day, a newcomer arrived at the Wilderness Zone's famed beginner training ground, the Gray Rabbit Plains.

That day, the rabbits of the Gray Rabbit Plains welcomed their darkest day.

Rabbits were slain one after another, and rabbit burrows were smashed apart one by one...

The Ferocious Gray Rabbits, whose peak adult strength was merely four hundred jin, were utterly unable to withstand Lin Yuan, who possessed a thousand jin of strength and swordsmanship at the Subtlety Stage.

Blade in hand, he judged all directions... of gray rabbits.

Lin Yuan had already lost count of how many rabbits he had killed. Drawn by the temptation of experience, he had transformed into a leveling fiend, tirelessly darting across the vast Gray Rabbit Plains and harvesting one pitiful rabbit after another.

With such insane monster-killing speed, his experience also soared.

Level 4...

Level 5...

Level 6...

Before long, he had hunted more than a hundred Ferocious Gray Rabbits, and his level leaped straight to Level 7.

"Beginning Talent Trait draw..."

"You have obtained a Golden Legendary Tier trait—'Transcendent Comprehension'!"

Hm?

Another top-tier Golden Legendary Tier trait?

Lin Yuan's heart leaped with joy.

This was his second Golden Legendary Trait. Before this, although he had drawn three times, they had all been purple Epic-tier traits.

"Fourth Talent Trait—'Late-Blooming Greatness.' Effect: The older you are, the stronger your talent becomes."

"Fifth Talent Trait—'Heaven-Defying Battle.' Effect: The more you fight, the stronger you become, without end!"

"Sixth Talent Trait—'Devouring Vitality.' Effect: Devour flesh and blood to convert it into energy."

Although they were all purple Epics, their effects were still incredibly powerful.

Late-Blooming Greatness would come into force later on; the further he went, the more terrifying it would become.

Heaven-Defying Battle could make him practically invincible among those at the same level. The more he fought, the stronger he became. What could not kill him would only make him stronger!

Devouring Vitality was even more frightening. It could replenish stamina and energy through eating, rapidly restore his condition, improve conversion efficiency, and even permanently raise his attributes.

Theoretically, if his lifespan was long enough and he could endure loneliness, he only needed to keep eating and eating and eating to grow infinitely stronger!

"Not a single Talent Trait is weak."

Lin Yuan could not help but sigh. Even if an ordinary person possessed just one, they could turn their life around, letting a loser rise and a good-for-nothing make a comeback.

From then on, the Hidden Dragon would enter the sea and shine with dazzling brilliance.

And what about him?

Theoretically, he could draw infinitely and fuse every trait perfectly!

This cheat was really something.

Even he himself felt a little embarrassed...

"Cough, cough. A little cheating doesn't count as cheating..."

Lin Yuan's face reddened as he muttered under his breath.

Then he happily looked toward the second Golden Legendary Trait he had just obtained.

"Seventh Talent Trait—'Transcendent Comprehension.' Effect: Your comprehension has greatly improved, and it will improve again every time you break through a major Boundary, with no upper limit."

Comprehension!

This time, what had improved was actually his comprehension.

Lin Yuan was delighted.

As everyone knew, in a fantasy world of high-level martial arts, aptitude was certainly important, but the farther one progressed, the greater the demand for comprehension became.

There was a saying that put it well—aptitude only guaranteed your lower limit, while only comprehension could determine your upper limit!

And the importance of comprehension was reflected in every aspect of the cultivation path. Whether in the early stages or the later stages, it was incomparably important.

"Martial Prodigy had already raised my physical aptitude to the true level of a prodigy."

"Now I've gained Transcendent Comprehension too..."

Lin Yuan could clearly feel the difference in himself.

His thoughts had become incomparably clear. Ideas about martial arts and cultivation sprang forth endlessly in his mind, as though inspiration could leap out at any time and any place.

Things that might previously have confused him now unraveled at a stroke, and he naturally grasped the key points.

"I thought my Starry Sky Body Tempering Art had already approached perfection. After all, I'd practiced it day and night for six years..."

"Who would have thought that, with the boost of Transcendent Comprehension, I'd still discover so many flaws?"

Lin Yuan could not help beginning to practice.

Stellar Dance, Sun-and-Moon Gaze, Star-Turning Steps, White Crane Spreads Its Wings, Spirit Ape Worships Heaven, Tiger Form Communion...

One foundational Body Tempering movement after another was broken down and performed anew.

Sets of footwork and fist techniques were practiced anew in tandem with the Starry Sky Body Tempering Art.

Lin Yuan only felt as though every cell and tissue in his body was boiling, cheering with joy.

Strands and wisps of cosmic starry energy, the power of heaven and earth, gathered from the unseen depths and flowed into his flesh through the movements of the Starry Sky Body Tempering Art, constantly tempering his body.

His strength was increasing!

His body was becoming even tougher!

"Whew..."

After a long time, Lin Yuan stopped moving.

He had completely refined the Starry Sky Body Tempering Art, practicing it to the perfect limit that his current self could attain.

"My strength has increased by at least a hundred jin!"

After carefully sensing it, Lin Yuan could not help but be shocked.

A single practice session had increased his strength by more than a hundred jin.

Did that not mean he would need only a few days to achieve the Blood-Tempering Perfection he had failed to attain after several years?

"Seven days to Marrow Cleansing. My strength can break through four thousand jin!"

Based on his current cultivation speed, Lin Yuan calculated and arrived at a shocking result.

Was this the power of "Transcendent Comprehension" plus "Martial Prodigy"?

Terrifying—far too terrifying!
