Chapter 28: Fortunately, I Am a Talent Endowed

The Thousand‑Blade Demon Sword seemed to be drawn out slowly and leisurely, but in reality it was slow in appearance yet fast in speed!

The Black Fire Bear's eyes were filled with a human‑like look of terrified surprise, its massive gaping mouth suddenly inhaled sharply, and a scorching flame aura gradually filled the air.

It is about to activate its Talent Endowed flame skill!

Unfortunately, it was still too late.

The blade's flash swept by, dispersing the smoke and dust that had shrouded the surroundings!

It revealed Lu Jing, still holding the sword‑swinging pose, and the headless corpse of the Black Fire Bear beneath him.

A black‑red column of blood spurted out from the severed wound, and the Black Fire Bear's crimson eyes gradually lost their luster.

All around, not a single leaf remained on the ground; the lingering might of the battle was terrifying to this degree!

A few tiny beads of sweat rose on Lu Jing's body, but under his abundant Blood Qi they instantly evaporated into faint vapor.

Just as Lu Jing was savoring the recent battle, a pleasant chime sounded in his ears.

【Congratulations, host, for killing a level‑2 Demon Beast Black Fire Bear, you have obtained Colorless Crystal Block ×2!】

"Killing a level‑2 Demon Beast rewarded two Colorless Crystal Blocks; it seems obtaining these blocks is indeed not easy,"

Lu Jing made up his mind to kill more Demon Beasts this time; not only would there be Colorless Crystal Blocks to collect, but the beasts' corpses could also be sold for money.

However, before that, he still had an important matter to attend to.

Lu Jing tossed the Black Fire Bear's corpse into the cargo compartment of the truck, then opened the door and slipped inside.

He closed his eyes and began practicing the New Martial Era Contemplation Method.

In Lu Jing's mind, a crystal‑clear humanoid figure was being gradually completed.

Now only the feet remained somewhat incomplete.

As Lu Jing continued his contemplation and refinement, the outline of the diamond little man gradually became clear and solidified.

After an hour passed......

The diamond little man finally appeared complete in Lu Jing's mind!

This humanoid bore a nine‑tenth resemblance to Lu Jing, radiating brilliant light all over its body.

What dissatisfied Lu Jing was that the figure still contained many impurities.

Under Lu Jing's deliberate control, the diamond little man could mimic any movement Lu Jing made.

"Since this diamond little man is under my control, can it also practice the Star Chronicle Forging Body Technique?"

A flash of inspiration struck Lu Jing, giving him a bold idea.

Anyway, trying it out wouldn't cause any harm.

Lu Jing took a deep breath and assumed the posture of the Star Chronicle Forging Body Technique.

In the next instant, the little figure in his mind abruptly straightened up, performing exactly the same motion as Lu Jing.

As Lu Jing continued his cultivation, the impurities within the diamond little man's body were gradually being removed.

During this process, Lu Jing could feel an intense feedback of spiritual energy; his mind felt like it had eaten a mint candy, waves of coolness sweeping over him.

It made him involuntarily shiver, and the little figure in his mind also mimicked Lu Jing's shiver.

"Continue!"

Lu Jing kept moving; the Star Chronicle Forging Body Technique had a markedly significant effect on the diamond little man.

As the diamond little man became pure, the Martial Way knowledge, techniques, insights, and experience accumulated in Lu Jing's mind......

were gradually sorted out clearly.

Fist techniques, sword techniques, and body movements all, at this moment, stabilized and accelerated rapidly.

"From now on, I am a spiritual Talent Endowed!"

Lu Jing stared at the diamond little man in his mind, now free of any impurity, and thought silently, "The Star Chronicle Forging Body Technique can let me refine the Contemplation Method to a minor achievement within a few hours; perhaps even the original creator of the technique couldn't progress as fast as I did."

"My Martial Way stands upon the shoulders of countless giants, crushing everyone from the foundation onward!"

Lu Jing, feeling his own transformation, couldn't help but exclaim.

After achieving a minor success in the New Martial Era Contemplation Method, Lu Jing's fist and sword techniques both broke through their bottlenecks and entered the next Realm.

"Previously, using flame power could triple my punching strength; I wonder how many times it can amplify now?"

The Contemplation Method's boost to Lu Jing was immense; besides becoming a spiritual Talent Endowed, he can now wield the Thousand‑Blade Demon Sword to its utmost.

"Clang!"

The Thousand‑Blade Demon Sword unsheathed.

Lu Jing mobilized the spiritual energy in his mind, attaching it to the blade.

The thousand fragments emitting a cold blue light now all floated and arranged themselves in the air.

They displayed exquisite brilliance, like a dazzling river of stars.

With a gentle twist of the hilt, the floating fragments were instantly drawn, like rainbows chasing the sun, swarming toward the hilt like swallows diving into a forest.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The blade instantly reassembled, returning to its original state.

He sheathed the sword.

A satisfied smile spread across Lu Jing's face.

"The Thousand‑Blade Demon Sword, ever‑changing, can catch the enemy off‑guard with a lethal strike."

Imagine, in the midst of life‑or‑death combat, Lu Jing's long sword suddenly disintegrates, its blade fragments piercing the enemy's body.

What a terrifying thing that would be!

He withdrew the spiritual energy attached to the blade, and Lu Jing slowly released the spiritual energy outward.

"Truck, northwest direction, thirty meters away, three Shadow Wolves are lying in ambush......"

After speaking, Lu Jing snapped his eyes open, and a strange electric flash burst from his gaze.

This is also a new application of spiritual power developed by Lu Jing.

"My spiritual power can now extend outward to a radius of one hundred meters; nothing can block its penetration, even underground or inside trees, I can see everything clearly......"

The feeling of projecting one's spiritual power outward is very wonderful.

Lu Jing is like a primordial spirit leaving the body; within fifty meters, he can see everything at a glance.

"There are too many scenarios where this ability can be applied—finding objects, seeing through walls, it's practically like using a cheat!"

"Most importantly, in battle one can clearly see the enemy's bodily structure, muscles, weak points...... all in perfect clarity, allowing one to anticipate the enemy's moves."

The more Lu Jing thought about it, the more excited he became.

As he knows, Talent Endowed are already rare, and mental-system Talent Endowed are even rarer, existences as scarce as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

"I have the 'New Martial Era Contemplation Method'; as long as I strengthen the Diamond Figurine, I can boost my spiritual power, and my progress speed is practically like riding a rocket!"

However, the cultivation speed of ordinary mental-system Talent Endowed is extremely slow, because up to now there is still no cultivation method that can train spiritual power!

They can only use the most clumsy, primitive method—constantly contracting and releasing their spiritual power—to achieve the effect of strengthening the mind.

Just like ordinary martial artists, Talent Endowed are also divided into several realms.

Talent Endowed of the same realm can crush ordinary martial artists, and even take on multiple opponents alone.

Lu Jing recalled a piece of news he had seen before: a third‑realm mental-system Talent Endowed instantly killed eight third‑realm martial artists in a flash.

These ordinary martial artists didn't even have the ability to fight back, and their seas of consciousness were destroyed by the mental-system Talent Endowed.

"Talent Endowed are truly terrifying, but fortunately I am one as well......"

Lu Jing couldn't help but sigh.

At the same time, he was also curious about what realm his spiritual power had reached; if calculated according to the Talent Endowed ranking, which realm would he be in?
