Previously, after Qin Tian killed an enemy, he would usually throw any newly acquired talents into the recycling station first, deciding whether to integrate them with his body after researching them. The vast majority of talents did not catch his eye.
But these two talents piqued Qin Tian’s interest, and he imdiately decided to integrate them into his body.
After the two talent light spheres rged, he imdiately felt sothing new.
The sensation for tal washed over his consciousness like a tide, instantly transforming the surrounding world: all tals within a hundred ters appeared in his consciousness. The iron ore in the rock wall was a solid dark red block, while the tals in the nearby slag appeared like scattered stars.
The strongest sensation ca from the Black Frost Blade in his hand, where the flowing tallic patterns on the blade turned into a rushing silver river in his perception. Each subtle tremor resonated with his heartbeat, clearer and more intense than any other tal, as if tightly entwined with his soul.
"Interesting." Qin Tian chuckled lightly, and with a slight thought, a palm-sized piece of iron appeared in his hand, taken from the Black Cloud Comrce Association’s warehouse, emptied by him now.
He activated Gold Devouring Hardening, and a faint blue light imdiately glowed on his palm.
The iron block transford into a silver-gray particle stream at the mont of contact, drilling into his skin through the gaps between his fingers. There was no burning pain, only a tingling sensation — the particle stream flowed through his blood vessels, like countless tiny tal fish. As it traveled, the texture beneath his skin seed to tighten.
Of course, a single piece of tal couldn’t achieve instant results, but this talent possessed great potential.
Without hesitation, Qin Tian decisively invested 150,000 Evolution Points to evolve it into a Purple talent.
[Na] Gold Devouring Transformation (Purple)
[Type] Active
[Introduction]
1. Gold Devouring Enhancent: When devouring tal, maximum efficiency transformation is triggered. High-density essence particles instantly perate bones and textures, achieving deep integration with body tissues. The tallic essence fills texture gaps, enhancing bone density, greatly improving the body’s Defense Power, and the strength grows in sync with the degree of integration.
2. Weapon Forging Ability: Temporarily extract all tal essence within a certain range and condense it into a flowing liquid tal stream in the palm, which can be molded into any weapon shape through thought.
"Gold Devouring Transformation."
Qin Tian’s lips curled up; with this talent, he could continue to devour tals, constantly increasing his Defense Power and strength.
But now is not the ti,
Qin Tian turned his head, looking at the unrelenting anxiety on Allen’s face, and said:
"Don’t worry, I’ve already found them."
Upon hearing this, Allen’s eyes instantly filled with joy.
......
"What, still unwilling to speak even after coming here?"
The dim mine cave, damp air mixed with the sll of rust and blood.
Xia Shangji, the president of the Black Cloud Comrce Association, leisurely wiped his fingertips, his smiling gaze sweeping over the two young people before him as if assessing caged prey.
The man’s hands were bound behind him by chains, half-naked with strong muscles, his chest and back full of unhealed sword and knife wounds. The scar at the corner of his eye added a hint of Evil Qi to his resolute eyes. He stood there with his spine straight, seemingly unyielding even in distress.
The woman with long pink hair looked pure and beautiful, her hands bound behind by shackles, lips pale, clearly internally injured, lowering her head slightly, seemingly enduring physical discomfort.
"President Xia, I’ve said it hundreds of tis."
Vivian’s voice sounded helplessly weepy, "Luo Xiu is directionally challenged. Even if you make him walk this path ten tis, he’ll get lost next ti. I’m naturally afraid of the dark, and was too anxious to rember which path... Give more ti, and I’ll surely recall."
She dared not admit she’d never been down the mine.
This lie was their only bargaining chip for survival; once exposed, the likes of Xia Shangji, who treats human lives like grass, would snap their necks without hesitation.
Allen, if you don’t co soon, we’ll beco skeletons in this mine.
Vivian lowered her eyelids, hiding the surging anxiety beneath them.
"Miss Vivian, you don’t need to play smart in front of ." Xia Shangji suddenly reached out, his cold fingertips pinching her chin, forcing her to raise her head.
His tone remained calm, but his grip gradually strengthened, "I’ll give you one last chance. If you remain silent, your companion will lose sothing."
Before his words finished, he flicked his wrist.
The scarred henchman beside him imdiately drew the long knife from his waist. The sharp blade slashed onto Luo Xiu’s left arm, its reflection igniting a sudden rage in Luo Xiu’s eyes.
"Don’t hurt him!"
Vivian abruptly lifted her head, her pink hair sweeping ssily across her cheeks, "I’ll tell! I’ll tell right now!"
"That’s better." Xia Shangji released his grip, his fingers retaining the warmth of her skin, a cruel smile curling his lips, "Lead the way then."
Vivian looked at the dozen intersecting passages before her, her heart pounding like it might shatter her ribs.
How would she know which path led to the so-called Spiritual Spring?
But she could only brace herself, randomly picking a deep passage, preparing to walk.
At that mont—
"Who’s there?!" Xia Shangji suddenly shouted sharply, his gaze shooting eagle-like toward the right shadow.
All eyes focused there in an instant.
In the dark, five black-robed figures silently appeared, their faces covered with pitch-black masks reflecting cold light under the mining lamps, their steps so light they seed weightless, as if Death Gods crawling up from the earth.
Shadowmoon Tower!
Xia Shangji’s pupils constricted sharply.
This mysterious intelligence organization was not only terrifyingly well-inford but also had assassins all with incredible skills, Tier Four rely entry-level; there were rumors of Tier Seven experts at helm.
"President Xia’s perception is indeed sharp." The foremost black-robed person spoke, his voice hoarse like sandpaper on wood.
"My Black Cloud Comrce Association and Shadowmoon Tower have never interfered with each other." Xia Shangji’s hand stealthily rested on the hilt of his sword, his tone cold, "Why are you following ?"
"We’re naturally here for the Spiritual Spring." The black-robed man chuckled lightly, his eyes under the mask scanning deep into the passage, "An unclaid item, shareable among those who find it. Or does President Xia intend to monopolize it?"
Staring at him coldly, Xia Shangji said, "I have no monopolizing intentions, but I wouldn’t like to hand it over either. We should explore different areas, no interference."
The black-robed man looked at him calmly, suddenly shaking, his tone peculiar.
"President Xia, perhaps you should check behind you first."
What does that an?
Swiftly turning, Xia Shangji’s pupils contracted sharply.
During his dialogue with Shadowmoon Tower, Luo Xiu and Vivian behind him had vanished.
Tat-tat-tat—
Footsteps echoed from the depths of the passageway, striking the hearts of everyone present like a resounding hamr in the silent mine.
The lamp’s beam pierced the thick darkness, first revealing dust-covered boots, their treads embedded with fine tal residue, then gently moving upward.
In the dim light, a pair of eyes shone brightly, like cold stars, exuding an undisguised sharpness.
When the rugged face erged fully, Xia Shangji’s face darkened suddenly, as if splashed with icy water, lips pressed into a straight line.
"Allen," he spat the na through clenched teeth, his voice seething with suppressed anger.
Behind Allen, Luo Xiu and Vivian stood, their broken shackles scattered at their feet.
A man’s hand rested on their shoulders, fingertips surrounded by a faint green glow; the glow seeped into Luo Xiu’s body, visibly healing the ghastly cuts and wounds, smoothing the torn flesh and gradually restoring him. Vivian’s previously pale cheeks also flushed with color, her breathing steadying as her internal injuries apparently healed rapidly.
The man withdrew his hand, the green glow fading quietly as he lifted his gaze to Xia Shangji, his expression serene.
