Chapter 138: Clairvoyance's Second and Third-tier Talent Effects

Exhale—

Qin Chuan sat cross-legged on the bed, lightly exhaled a breath of foul qi, and finished a day's cultivation.

After many repeated attempts, he finally could perform the Nameless Breathing Technique accurately without error in a breathing cycle, although he still occasionally needed to glance at the cultivation manual for assistance.

After truly getting started, he also clearly felt the astonishing advantage of the Nameless Breathing Technique over the basic fist technique.

Supernatural power flowed with the breath to every part of his body without blind spots, subtly enhancing his physique and thus increasing his development rate of supernatural power.

At the same level of supernatural value, there is still much of his strength that can be tapped.

After glancing at the time—ten thirty at night—Qin Chuan hastily washed up, quickly fell asleep, and when he regained consciousness, he found himself already in the Dream World.

"Luo, good evening~"

Yue Li's voice, tinged with a bit of playfulness, sounded, causing Qin Chuan to snap back to attention.

"Mm, good morning." He glanced at the girl beside him, smiled, and said, "Let's first meet up with Long Ji, then go together to find Aikekete."

Aikekete, who had just been promoted to Elite-tier player, exclaimed, "Advancing to Hall-tier requires not only defeating four Hall-tier Spirit Beasts from different zones, but also finding a super-rare resource called the Hall Crystal."

She was already somewhat impatient, wanting to deal with the guy who kept staring at her and Luo.

"What is the talent effect of that Long Ji you mentioned? Is it reliable?"

"Aikekete also has a companion who possesses a Golden Talent." Thinking of Yue Li's earlier guess that he himself was Clairvoyance, Qin Chuan's expression grew a bit strange, "He is the true Clairvoyance."

She quickly realized what that meant, a look of delight appearing in her eyes, "Without talent boosts, the two of us together can definitely beat Aikekete!"

Qin Chuan smiled, glanced at the map, and led Yue Li toward the agreed-upon meeting point with Long Ji.

——

"Hey, Kang Ni, guess what I discovered?"

"That's good." Yue Li let out a breath, "Shall we set off now?"

"Umm…" Yue Li's face flushed, recalling the embarrassment when they revealed their talents to each other, but quickly she grasped Qin Chuan's meaning, "Can the opponent see our talents?"

"Good." Yue Li nodded, then her expression showed a hint of worry, "I've watched Aikekete's livestream; by the time we find him, he should already have advanced to Elite-tier."

"I know." Kang Ni glanced at Aikekete, his expression calm.

"Holy Domain…" Yue Li's expression showed surprise, "There's actually such a talent effect?"

"Right." Qin Chuan nodded, "I've already discussed with Long Ji; he will use his talent effect first. As long as Clairvoyance does not leave the domain's range, he cannot use his talent effect, and thus cannot see our talent status."

Hearing the girl's question, Qin Chuan then realized he hadn't yet told her Long Ji's talent: "He is Holy Domain, possessing a talent effect that creates a domain preventing all players within it from using talent effects."

"You know again." Aikekete rolled his eyes, "Knowing too much in advance will take away a lot of fun."

"Perhaps I will become the first player to advance to Hall-tier."

"With my Soul Ascension talent, I can completely handle a Hall-tier Spirit Beast even in solo combat." He immediately grinned, "Although the Hall Crystal is hard to obtain, there is always a way."

"That's right." Qin Chuan nodded, "After all, in battle we two aren't that reliant on talents."

Yue Li's vow will also be affected by Holy Domain, but his sundial hand will not.

"Alright, Lion, we should still focus on the present." Kang Ni spoke in a low voice, "They will surely come after us."

"Come on, come on, I can't wait." Aikekete clenched his fists, making a crackling "pop-pop" sound, "You're not here to divine, are you? Let's begin."

Kang Ni glanced at Aikekete, too lazy to argue whether his talent effect was "divination" or not.

A brilliant golden light flickered in his pupils, and in an instant they became utterly hollow, as if probing countless secrets.

Clairvoyance Second-tier Talent Effect.

{Obtain a random message related to the Dream World, usable once each time entering the Dream World}

This talent effect is extremely random; the obtained messages can be good or bad, like drawing a blind box.

Before this, the most precious message Kang Ni had received was the game zone where the current holder of the Golden Talent Soul Ascension resides.

This message was obtained the first time he used it after drawing the Clairvoyance talent.

Relying on this message and the Clairvoyance First-tier Talent that lets him view other players' talent effects, he, who was only one zone away from Aikekete at the time, precisely located his opponent.

However, afterward the Second-tier Talent performed mediocrely, often yielding messages that were trivial or of low value.

For example, a low-grade resource he couldn't use was two kilometers away from him.

The requirement for advancing from Elite-tier to Hall-tier was likewise learned by him through a certain use of the Second-tier Talent.

At this moment, countless golden stars appeared in his field of view; as they spun rapidly, one star shot toward him and transformed into a brand-new message.

{Divine Forge (Golden) First-tier Talent Effect: Craft any tier equipment without needing crafting stones, guaranteeing success and producing a lucky critical strike, increasing affix grade by +1}

It is actually one of the talent effects of the Golden Talent?

Kang Ni's face showed an expression of surprise.

Although this message is currently unusable, its value is not low.

It can be considered a good omen.

He turned his head toward Aikekete, then his pupils lost focus again and completely turned golden.

Clairvoyance Third-tier Talent, activated.

{View a corner of the future of a specified target other than oneself, usable once every seven entries into the Dream World}

This is the ability that Aikekete jokingly calls "divination".

Like the Second-tier Talent, this talent is extremely random; perhaps the scene seen is just within the next minute, with little reference value, or perhaps it shows a crucial moment at some future time.

Since activating this talent effect requires gazing and cannot view oneself, in his past few uses he has looked only at Aikekete's future.

After all, the two of them are now grasshoppers on the same boat.

As the Third-tier Talent activated, countless scenes shrouded in mist swept across Kang Ni's vision; eventually one frame froze, the mist slowly dissipated, revealing a corner of the future hidden within the mist.

As Kang Ni's vision refocused, his pupils contracted and a sudden thump struck his heart.

He saw Aikekete fleeing in a panic on the back of a wounded Spirit Beast.

That Spirit Beast…

"How about it, did you see my invincible posture?" Eric spoke proudly, and in the next moment, seeing Connie's grim and solemn expression, his smile faded.

"Looks like it isn't."
