"Ah, if only I had a storage bag!"
Ye Ningze felt troubled. The water pouch was completely filled with over three thousand portions of fierce beast blood, and he wouldn't be able to carry it all.
That night.
Ye Ningze could finally copy talents again.
This time, Ye Ningze planned to copy Xiaobai's endurance talent.
It wasn't that he didn't want to copy other talents, but he simply couldn't find any better ones.
The bloodline talents of fierce beasts were indeed purer and stronger than those found in human martial artists.
However, the probability of special talents appearing was too low. He still disdained ordinary C-grade or D-grade talents.
Xiaobai's B-grade endurance talent was generally not bad and was more useful than others.
When Ye Ningze walked up to Xiaobai, he froze.
"This..."
Ye Ningze's retinas displayed Xiaobai's talents. Apart from the top-tier speed talent, the other talents all had a copy button next to them.
He naturally understood this situation, as it meant they could be copied.
The key issue was that Ye Ningze hadn't even touched Xiaobai yet!
"I can copy without contact?!" Ye Ningze's breathing began to quicken.
He finally understood something. He had initially thought that consuming the golden fruit had no obvious effect on his talents, but now it seemed that wasn't the case at all.
"My other talents haven't improved, but my copy talent itself has undergone a metamorphosis!"
Ye Ningze had an epiphany.
Indeed, the copy talent was also a form of talent. Why couldn't the copy talent itself improve when other talents could?
"If that's the case, then there's no rush to copy Xiaobai's talent!" Ye Ningze thought to himself.
Now that Ye Ningze's talent copying ability had improved, he could copy others' talents from a distance. This was definitely a huge breakthrough.
In the past, when he encountered very strong martial artists, due to the vast difference in cultivation realms, he couldn't get close enough to even view their talents, let alone copy them.
But now, things were different.
Ye Ningze now possessed the ability to copy talents from a distance, allowing him to copy the talents of other martial artists without physical contact.
For example, Sun Ruhu from the Sun family, the largest family in the base, possessed a high-level cultivation talent. Ye Ningze hadn't had the chance to copy it before, but now he could do so with ease.
In contrast, Xiaobai's endurance talent, although a mid-grade talent, was not suitable for him.
What Ye Ningze valued most now was the improvement of his overall strength and offensive capabilities.
With this thought, Ye Ningze abandoned the idea of copying Xiaobai's endurance talent.
"I've been out for so long, I should go home and check on my sister."
Ye Ningze did not plan to bring Xiaobai back to the base this time.
Although there were people in Qingcheng Base who kept pet beasts, they were all low-level ornamental pets. There wasn't a large fierce beast like Xiaobai.
Furthermore.
Xiaobai's combat power was currently inferior to Ye Ningze's. Even if he brought it along, it couldn't protect him.
It was better to leave it in the Great Prajna Forest, letting it continue to manage the area and collect fierce beast blood for Ye Ningze.
In the future, if he ever lacked cultivation resources, he could always come to Xiaobai to get them, and he would never lack cultivation resources again.
"Xiaobai, I'm going home for a bit. You stay here with your pack. From now on, put the blood of any fierce beasts you hunt into the blood pool," Ye Ningze instructed Xiaobai. "Remember, separate the intermediate and high-grade fierce beast blood."
"Understood, Master!" Xiaobai replied respectfully.
After giving instructions, Ye Ningze, carrying over two hundred portions of fierce beast blood, headed towards Qingcheng Base.
At that moment, outside the base, a group of human martial artists were hunting.
These martial artists were not of high cultivation level, mostly at the ordinary martial artist stage. The strongest was only at the late stage of martial artist, and there wasn't even an elite martial artist among them.
"Boss, we've spotted a human martial artist ahead. He's very young and carrying a lot of stuff!"
A team member reported to the captain in the middle.
The captain looked over and saw a very young teenager with steady steps, appearing to be a martial artist.
"Captain, should we rob him?" a team member suggested.
The captain pondered for a moment, hesitating.
He didn't think this teenager was very strong. He looked so young, at most he had just stepped into the martial artist stage.
"Captain, are you worried this person has a background? Don't worry, Captain. We've investigated all the martial artists with backgrounds in Wolf Lord Base, and this kid shouldn't be among them."
"That's right. He looks like a local martial artist from Qingcheng Base. With the strength of our Wolf Lord Base, are we afraid of some local martial artist?"
"Yes, Captain. This kid is carrying a lot of stuff, and he seems to have had a good harvest. As long as we don't kill him, no one can do anything to us!"
"Don't hesitate anymore, Captain. We've been hunting here for almost a day without any gains. Are we just going to go back empty-handed?"
"..."
The team members persuaded him one after another.
Under the persuasion of his team members, the captain finally relented and nodded, saying, "Alright, let's do this! We've done this kind of thing before, and as long as we're careful, there shouldn't be any trouble!"
"Form ranks, attack!"
Swish, swish, swish!
Led by the captain, over a dozen martial artists formed a formation and began to surround Ye Ningze.
Their swift movements indicated that these people had done this kind of thing before. They always picked on the weak and were cautious, so they rarely made mistakes.
But clearly, this time they were going to hit a steel plate!
The hunting team martial artists surrounded Ye Ningze. The captain leading them shouted.
"Kid, hand over your valuables, and we'll spare your life!"
The sudden turn of events left Ye Ningze dumbfounded.
"Are you really going to rob me?"
With his current mental state, Ye Ningze could see through the realms of the team members at a glance. Most of them were ordinary martial artists, and the strongest was not even an elite martial artist.
A team like this couldn't even compare to the Wind Wolf team. Ye Ningze could crush them several times over with just one little finger.
"Stop the nonsense and obediently hand over your valuables, or you'll suffer!" the captain continued to threaten.
The saber in his hand faintly emitted a glow, a sign of Yuan Force being infused into a Yuan Weapon.
Clearly, the captain intended to make a move on Ye Ningze.
But at this moment, Ye Ningze moved, drawing the black saber at his waist.
These martial artists couldn't see Ye Ningze's movements at all. By the time they reacted, their weapons had all flown out of their hands.
Then, screams erupted!
"Ahhh! My hand is broken!"
"It hurts, it hurts!"
"I don't want to be crippled!"
"..."
Ye Ningze didn't disable their wrists. He simply severed their tendons and shattered part of their hand bones.
Such injuries would undoubtedly be crippling in his previous life, but in this world, as long as healing medicine was applied, they could recover after a period of time.
