Teleportation Talent

Control Crane and Lift Dragon primarily depended on muscle control and reaction speed, somewhat similar to Tai Chi from his previous life.

Ye Chen comprehended and practiced it at the same time. Before long, he had cultivated Control Crane and Lift Dragon to Great Completion, thoroughly mastering it.

Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon did not need to be fused with anything else, because it could work in tandem with Mysterious Jade Hand to deal Critical Strike damage.

Next came Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

Fortunately, this was a paid cultivation room. It was spacious enough to provide plenty of room for practice.

Ye Chen's figure began shifting about the room, leaping back and forth repeatedly. He was somewhat unskilled at first, but gradually became more proficient, leaving behind one afterimage after another.

A little over ten minutes later.

Ye Chen's figure had completely turned ghostlike, appearing like a phantom in every corner of the room in an instant.

Clearly, Ye Chen had thoroughly comprehended it and cultivated it to the realm of Great Completion.

If Tang Ya and Bei Bei saw this scene, their jaws would surely drop.

Tang Ya had cultivated it for so many years and had only barely reached proficiency. Bei Bei was slightly better, just short of Minor Completion, but to cultivate it to Major Completion or even Great Completion would require at least a decade or more of hard work.

Only Ye Chen, with his Heaven-Defying Comprehension, could instantly master this martial art and use it with ease after only a little practice.

The last martial art was the Purple Demon Eye.

Cultivating the Purple Demon Eye could increase Spiritual Power, while increased Spiritual Power could also accelerate the cultivation progress of the Purple Demon Eye.

Those without spiritual-type martial souls, such as Tang San, had to absorb the first wisp of violet qi every morning at dawn to cultivate it. It was time-consuming, laborious, and exhausting.

However, after taking Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew and other treasures later on, their Spiritual Power would increase, and the Purple Demon Eye could then be cultivated much more quickly.

Huo Gua possessed a spiritual-type martial soul. As his Spiritual Power increased, his cultivation speed for the Purple Demon Eye was even faster than Tang San's.

This truly had nothing to do with comprehension. No matter how strong one's comprehension was, it was impossible to instantly cultivate it to the Vastness realm.

However, Ye Chen had previously received a Spiritual Power reward, and his Spiritual Power was not weak. He directly skipped the most basic Surveying realm and entered the Subtlety realm.

I need to find some time to visit the Immortal-Facing Twofold Zen and get a few tons of Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew to quench my thirst, Ye Chen thought to himself.

The Immortal-Facing Twofold Zen was an enormous treasure ground. He certainly could not let it pass him by.

However, the Immortal-Facing Twofold Zen of today was different from what it had been ten thousand years ago. There were hundred-thousand-year plant soul beasts there. Although plant soul beasts were weaker in combat than beast-type soul beasts, they were still not something Ye Chen could handle.

Ye Chen planned to go after becoming a little stronger, or after obtaining some life-saving talents.

After finishing his cultivation.

Ye Chen directly began today's sign-in.

Sign-in successful. Obtained talent: "Teleportation"

Teleportation: Wherever the mind reaches, one may teleport there. Each teleportation consumes a fixed 1% of Soul Power. Teleportation distance and range are related to Spiritual Power.

The moment Ye Chen saw the reward, a hint of delight rose in his heart.

Not bad. This was quite a good life-saving skill.

The range of Teleportation was related to Spiritual Power. The maximum teleportation distance was the maximum range of Ye Chen's spiritual perception.

Ye Chen had cultivated the Purple Demon Eye. Although his Spiritual Power had not increased much, his ability to use it had improved tremendously, and his perception range had already reached three hundred meters.

In other words, within a three-hundred-meter radius, Ye Chen could teleport at will around a hundred times.

Of course, Soul Power could be restored. Once he condensed a Soul Core in the future, his Soul Power would be inexhaustible. At that point, he could naturally teleport without limits, and over even greater distances.

Ye Chen activated the Purple Demon Eye, and a thought stirred in his mind.

"Whoosh—"

The next moment, Ye Chen's figure vanished instantly and appeared on the path outside the training ground.

Moreover, the entire process was incredibly smooth and seamless. There was not the slightest delay or pause. Put simply, there was no recovery lag at all. It was perfect.

"Not bad, not bad. Not only can it save my life, it's also incredibly useful in battle. It boosts my combat power by at least several times!" Ye Chen was very satisfied.

Against a charge-up Soul Skill, he could teleport directly behind the enemy and basically kill them in an instant.

Even when fighting above his level, he could win easily, because the opponent had no way to counter it at all.

Teleportation was already absurdly overpowered, let alone Ye Chen's long-range, repeated Teleportation. Who could withstand that?

If Ye Chen's combat strength had previously been slightly inferior to Ma Xiaotao's, then now that he had Teleportation, he felt that he should be able to defeat Ma Xiaotao with ease.

Of course, Ma Xiaotao treated him so well that Ye Chen certainly would not fight her—unless it was in bed...

At noon, Ye Chen left the cultivation room.

He had mastered the entire Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. The Hundred Undead Exorcism contained quite a lot of material, and Ye Chen had spent considerable time removing the useless parts while retaining the core methods for using hidden weapons.

All Ye Chen needed to do next was equip his first martial soul, the "Silver Needle," with suitable Soul Rings. However, he had no plans to obtain any for the time being. His second martial soul was enough for now, so he would wait until his cultivation reached Rank 50.

He had troubled Ma Xiaotao this morning, so naturally, he would have lunch with her.

He had left in a rush that morning, so he needed to properly thank her at noon.

With that thought, Ye Chen entered the Inner Court once more.

The Inner Court students' daily training was actually similar to that of the Outer Court, except they had an additional, extremely dangerous "mission" system. It was very easy to get killed.

More than ten people entered the Inner Court every year, yet the entire Inner Court only had a little over fifty students. The missing students had not graduated—they had gotten killed. Well, put another way, that counted as graduation too...

Even students as strong as the Shrek Seven Devils could encounter mortal danger while carrying out missions, let alone everyone else.

When the Shrek Seven Devils carried out certain missions, powerful experts might support them. Everyone else was simply left to fend for themselves.

If they died, they would not even get a memorial monument, much less compensation. After all, this was unpaid labor with no reward whatsoever.

In Shrek's words—

Being able to become Supervisors was your supreme honor. Even if you died, it would be a glorious sacrifice!

Completing supervisory missions could bring redemption and fulfillment to your soul!

As for compensation? Keep dreaming.

Ye Chen felt that Shrek was being somewhat wasteful.

After all, anyone who could enter the Inner Court would be among the most talented disciples in any academy on the continent.

Other academies would practically worship such disciples as treasures, directing every resource toward them.

But at Shrek, not only were such students given few resources, they were also sent off to die.

The moment Ye Chen stepped into the Inner Court's grounds, he ran into someone he knew—Ling Luochen.

"Ah, Junior Brother Ye, you're here. I was just about to look for you~" Ling Luochen's beautiful eyes lit up as she quickly walked toward Ye Chen.

"Ah, hello, Senior Sister Ling~" Ye Chen greeted her with a smile, then asked somewhat curiously, "Why were you looking for me, Senior Sister Ling? Does Sister Xiaotao need something from me?"

"More or less. Dean Yan suggested to Xuan Zi that you be given some opportunities for experience. We happen to have a mission this time, so Xuan Zi told us to bring you along."

Ling Luochen gave him a simple explanation.

Ye Chen:...

Without even waiting to see whether Ye Chen agreed, Ling Luochen grabbed his hand and led him deeper into the Inner Court.

Ma Xiaotao had originally been responsible for bringing Ye Chen over, but Ling Luochen had beaten her to it.

It was rare for her to have a chance to spend time with Ye Chen, so naturally, she had to seize it.

And because of their martial souls, merely being near Ye Chen made her feel utterly comfortable. She truly did not dare imagine how wonderful it would feel if she and Ye Chen...
