Chapter 48: Sword Skill Betting
TL: Etude
"Little sister, have you been slacking off lately?" Ye Tian stroked Ye Yu's little head, asking with a doting tone.
Ye Yu answered earnestly, "I haven't been slacking off. I've been practicing hard and now have a strength of 300 jin!"
Having achieved a strength of 300 jin in just over a month was quite remarkable even among those with medium-level cultivation talents. Ye Tian knew that most of this was due to the beast blood. Without enough beast blood, Ye Yu couldn't have progressed so quickly.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.
"Have you run into any trouble lately?" Ye Tian asked again.
Ye Yu shook her head, "No one has bothered me, but someone did come looking for you."
"Who?" Ye Tian asked, frowning.
"I don't know them, but they were very arrogant. According to their own introduction, they seemed to be some genius from Tieya Base, named Sun Feng," Ye Yu recalled.
"Tieya Base, Sun Feng!" Ye Tian mentally noted the name.
Afterward, he placed the medicinal herbs and high-level beast blood he had brought back inside the house and then went out alone.
"Come out!" Ye Tian spoke to a corner.
Whoosh! A figure emerged from around the corner. It was a martial warrior from the Wind Wolf hunting squad.
"Greetings, Master Ye Tian!" The martial warrior greeted respectfully.
"Take me to your captain. I have some questions for him." Ye Tian mainly wanted to know about Sun Feng from Tieya Base. He didn't know Sun Feng, but Sun Feng had come looking for him, and his attitude was quite arrogant.
Soon, Ye Tian met Wind Wolf.
"Ye Tian, you're finally back!" Wind Wolf sighed in relief upon seeing Ye Tian. He had been worried that something had happened to Ye Tian since he had been gone for so long.
"A wager?" Sun Feng showed some interest. "What do you want to bet?"
"A bronze-level knife technique. Dare to bet?" Ye Tian suddenly proposed.
"Bronze-level knife technique!" Sun Feng's eyes lit up. He was naturally interested in acquiring more knife techniques.
"Fine, I agree. I'll also wager a bronze-level knife technique!" Sun Feng quickly agreed, afraid that Ye Tian might change his mind.
What Sun Feng didn't know was that after he agreed, the corners of Ye Tian's mouth lifted in a sly smile. He had a reason for wagering a bronze-level knife technique. He had seen Sun Feng's talent profile.
Human: Sun Feng
Cultivation Talent: High-level
Knife Talent: Medium-level
Sun Feng had a medium-level talent in knife techniques, which meant that a bronze-level knife technique would be very useful to him. And given Sun Feng's status, he should be able to offer a bronze-level knife technique as well.
"Since you've agreed to the bet, let's talk about our respective wagers," Sun Feng began, introducing his bronze-level knife technique first. "My bronze-level knife technique is called Qing Feng Slash. It can amplify attack power. When mastered, it can amplify attack power by six times, and even at a proficient level, it can triple the attack power. What's your bronze-level knife technique?"
Ye Tian was inwardly excited. He had been searching for such a technique for a long time but had never found one. Acquiring this technique would significantly boost his combat abilities.
"My bronze-level knife technique is called Shadow Kill. It amplifies knife speed, up to five or six times. This technique focuses on delivering a fatal blow that's hard to defend against," Ye Tian explained.
"Amplifying knife speed, that's a fast knife technique, something I don't have. I've hit the jackpot!" Sun Feng already considered Ye Tian's knife technique as his own. Extremely confident people never think they'll lose.
"When do we start?" Ye Tian asked.
"My bronze-level knife technique manual isn't with me, and fights between elite martial warriors can be quite destructive. How about we have our duel at Hui Ming Square tomorrow morning at 10?" Sun Feng suggested.
"Fine," Ye Tian agreed.
