Chapter 220 220: Understand The Mechanics



Twenty-four hours passed quietly as Yoze waited, half expecting that the immortals would arrive at his door at any time. Finally, however, after a whole day had passed, he breathed a sigh of relief as he realized that he wouldn't have to fight several immortal-level people at once.

He might have to deal with them later, but for now, all he had to worry about was using these six days as not only training days to improve himself but also to rest his damaged body. Even now, Yoze realized that the damage that Immortal Welse had done to his body from the explosion was more extensive than he initially thought.

He had initially predicted that he could heal all his wounds and be at peak condition in a few days, but now he had to extend that to two weeks. This was not only because his body was more damaged than he thought but also because he had overestimated his healing ability.

Ever since he had gained his grade 5 Regeneration talent paired well with his grade 6 Vitality Retention, his ability to heal from his wounds was constantly improving. Not only that, but with his Life Attraction talent and Blood Heart talent, his regeneration ability was outstanding, and Yoze knew he could heal most wounds that would cripple others in less than three days.

However, unlike his martial art, hunting, art, and other talents, Yoze never had a clear understanding of how he was supposed to use his fantastic talent at healing his body to its fullest potential and how he could train them like his other talents. He could only guess that once he found either a martial art or an immortal cultivation manual that focused on improving his regenerative ability, he could use these talents to their fullest potential.

For now, Yoze relied on his regenerative ability improving as his body grew more powerful. Still, because of this passiveness and the fact that he never really was seriously injured in battle, he overestimated how powerful his regenerative ability was. So now he was paying the cost of not having the ability to directly focus on improving his body's healing ability with this long healing period.

Luckily, even though he was in the process of healing, he still could train in most martial arts and even could fight at his peak ability for a limited amount of time without further damaging his body. So, after sorting his mind and getting rid of all his distracting thoughts, Yoze decided to try to find a lizard or some other creature known for his regenerative ability so he could copy its talents and increase his own healing talent.

"For now, at least let's see if the rumors of this Crystal Grape are as incredible as those immortals said it was."

Yoze lifted the purple translucent marble between his two fingers and marveled at the purple mist swirling inside. Simply holding the Crystal Grape made Yoze's crystal nerves throb as they seemed to want to devour it whole.

"For something to be capable of inducing such a reaction from my crystal nerves, it had to be some kind of treasure or a trap. So let's see if I can use my talent marks on it." 

[Target has been locked on... A failure has occurred when locking onto the target's talents.]

"I least I know that this Crystal Grape isn't anything alive, so I can rule out that it's some parasite that will try to control my body. Forget it. I already wasted a talent mark on this Crystal Grape. Let's just give it a go." 

Having an idea of what his test results would be beforehand, Yoze didn't feel much loss at the thought that he wasted one of his talent marks on testing the Crystal Grape. It wasn't like when he only had one talent mark and every time he used it, he would have to wait 24 hours before he could use it again.

He could now be less cautious when using his talent marks since he had two, which gave him far more flexibility to who or what he used them on. Not only could he now take two talents from a single person, but he could afford to test out more of the finer details of his cheat. 

Throughout the years of using his cheat and doing tests, he understood most of the mechanics of his cheat. For one, regardless of the results, once he selected a target for his talent mark, he would lose his talent mark.

That meant that if Yoze used his talent mark on a person who either had no valuable talents or all of their talents were of a lower grade compared to his own, then not only did he waste his talent mark, but he couldn't search for another target. In Yoze's eyes, it was okay if his target had no talents or talents that Yoze found particularly useful since that didn't harm him.

What Yoze hated was when he encountered a person with talents that he already had but of similar or lower grades than his own. That was because he was forced to copy one of their talents, which was a guaranteed way to lower one of his own talents.

Back when the number of talents that he had was smaller and less diverse, this was not a concern for Yoze since the chances of him encountering someone who not only had the same talents that he had but at a lower grade were incredibly rare. There was always at least one talent he didn't have or one that was at least one grade higher than his own.

Allowing him to not have to worry about degrading his own talents. Unfortunately, Yoze faced a much different situation compared to a year or two ago.

The number of talents he possessed was much higher and covered multiple different categories, drastically increasing the chances that he would encounter such a scenario. Just from Yoze's recent experience, the likelihood of encountering this situation when he used his talent marks on a regular person was high.
