Daily Talent Trait in Dou Qi Continent

Watching Yun Yun leave, Xu Qi had already grasped the general situation.

His affinity, attractiveness, and prestige had all increased severalfold. These were all positive buffs.

As long as someone already had even the slightest favorable impression of him, no matter how small, that goodwill would be infinitely amplified, thereby affecting their impression of Xu Qi.

Conversely, if someone had no favorable impression of him to begin with, or even hated him, then his affinity and prestige would have no effect.

After all, no amount of prestige could change a person's hatred or dislike of him.

Based on this, Xu Qi concluded that Yun Yun had already developed feelings for him.

Of course, this slight flutter of the heart was not enough to make Yun Yun fall for him. It would still take some time.

And naturally, Xu Qi liked Yun Yun as well.

Who could possibly dislike such a stunning woman?

Among all the men of the Misty Cloud Sect, probably very few did not like Yun Yun.

It was just that most people, because of the vast difference in status, could only admire her in secret and did not dare reveal even the slightest hint of it.

Xu Qi was different.

Before, he had only dared to like her silently from afar, without entertaining too many thoughts.

But now, things were different.

He was no longer the man he used to be. He had enough ability and confidence to be worthy of Yun Yun.

With enough persistence, even an iron rod could be ground into a needle. He would definitely make Yun Yun fall in love with him.

But before that, Xu Qi had to work hard to improve his strength.

A Three-star Dou Zhe was not even good enough to guard the gate.

Over the following days, Xu Qi spent every day immersed in the Dou Qi Pavilion.

Other than completing his daily Talent Trait conversion, he used all his remaining time to cultivate Dou Qi techniques.

Blades, spears, staffs, fists—he learned every kind of Dou Qi technique, preferring excess over deficiency.

With Swordsmanship Expert, Martial Arts Expert, and Spear and Staff Expert supporting him, cultivating all kinds of Dou Qi techniques was like adding wings to a tiger. He achieved twice the results with half the effort.

At present, he mainly cultivated Yellow-tier Dou Qi.

Yellow-tier Dou Qi came in many varieties and large numbers, was easy to learn, and in Xu Qi's hands could display the power of Black-tier Dou Qi.

At the same time, Black-tier Dou Qi was less numerous and varied than Yellow-tier Dou Qi, and more troublesome to learn. It was better to have an abundance of Yellow-tier Dou Qi.

In just a few short days, he had learned more than a dozen Dou Qi techniques, all of them reaching the proficient level.

That day, Xu Qi opened the door as usual and let people in.

The first to appear was a pretty young girl dressed in an elegant pale white gown.

Nalan Yanran!

"Senior Brother Xu, good morning." The girl smiled softly, lovely as a flower.

The moment she saw Xu Qi, Nalan Yanran's eyes lit up, and an unusual gleam flickered in them.

They had not seen each other for only a few days, yet she found that Xu Qi seemed to have changed.

He had become more handsome and more approachable, like the winter sun—bright and warm, making people unable to resist wanting to draw close to him and embrace him.

"Junior Sister Yanran, you're here." Xu Qi greeted her with a smile.

Nalan Yanran was the personal disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect's Sect Master and the eldest daughter of the Nalan Family. She was aloof by nature and proud in temperament.

Yet she did not look down on her fellow disciples because of this.

At the very least, during Xu Qi's interactions with Nalan Yanran, he had found her personality quite pleasant.

"Mm, I'm here to return a Dou Qi technique." Nalan Yanran pulled herself back from nearly losing composure, then smiled sweetly and handed a Yellow-tier High-grade Dou Technique, "Returning Wind Sword," to Xu Qi.

She had borrowed it several days ago.

"Mm, just in time." Xu Qi accepted the Dou Qi technique and casually placed it on the nearby table, intending to return it to the Dou Qi Pavilion once he had some free time.

After returning the Dou Qi technique, Nalan Yanran did not leave for a long while. She stood there blankly, gazing at Xu Qi in a daze.

"Is there anything else?" Xu Qi looked up at her, a trace of confusion in his eyes.

"N-No, nothing." Caught peeking at him, the girl's face visibly flushed red.

"Really nothing? Your face looks a little red. Do you have a fever?" As he spoke, Xu Qi stepped forward and naturally placed his palm against Nalan Yanran's jade-like forehead.

Mm, it did seem a little hot.

Nalan Yanran's delicate body stiffened at that instant. It was as if Xu Qi possessed some kind of magic that made her unable to extricate herself.

"I... I'm fine."

The girl hurriedly took a step back, moving that warm palm away from her forehead.

"I'll head back first. Goodbye, Senior Brother Xu."

With that, Nalan Yanran hurried away, looking rather flustered.

Watching her retreating, panicked figure, Xu Qi's lips curled into a faint smile as he continued guarding the Dou Qi Pavilion.

During this period, he had not found any particularly good Talent Traits.

Although the disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect were among the most talented in the entire Jia Ma Empire.

To Xu Qi, however, their Talent Traits were simply too mediocre.

Either the grade was high but the attributes were poor, or the attributes were good but the grade was low.

There were also many overlapping Talent Traits.

As a result, he had not converted any good Talent Traits over the past few days. He had merely converted a random blue Talent Trait each day, then dismantled it into an Experience Orb.

Blue Experience Orbs could be used to upgrade blue Talent Traits. Xu Qi had saved up six blue Experience Orbs.

After careful consideration, Xu Qi decided to use them to upgrade Swordsmanship Expert, Martial Arts Expert, and Photographic Memory.

Upgrade "Swordsmanship Expert," "Martial Arts Expert," and "Photographic Memory"?

"Upgrade."

Upgrade successful. Obtained 'Unrivaled Swordsmanship,' 'Unrivaled Martial Arts,' and 'One Hearing, Thousand Comprehensions.'

Unrivaled Swordsmanship (Purple): Your understanding of sword techniques has reached an extraordinary level. Sword-type Dou Qi technique effects +500%, sword-type Dou Qi technique consumption -50%, sword-type Dou Qi technique cultivation efficiency +500%.

Unrivaled Martial Arts (Purple): Your understanding of fist and kick techniques has reached an extraordinary level. Fist and kick Dou Qi technique effects +500%, fist and kick Dou Qi technique consumption -50%, fist and kick Dou Qi technique cultivation efficiency +500%.

One Hearing, Thousand Comprehensions (Purple): Your comprehension is extremely high. A single hint is enough for you to understand. You possess your own profound understanding of all Dou Qi techniques. Memory +80%, insight +80%.

After upgrading three blue Talent Traits into purple Talent Traits in one go, Xu Qi felt his comprehension improve even further.

Now, no matter what Dou Qi technique was placed before him, he could learn it with ease!
