Chapter 3: Intermediate Ability Apprentice, Five Innate Abilities
The No. 2 Underground Mall is very prosperous and crowded; one can see Ability Users, and even Ability Masters, from time to time.
Very quickly.
Ye Tian arrived at a shop specializing in the sale of various metal ores, and upon entering, he saw samples of various ores.
If he took a fancy to any, he could also place a bulk order.
Ye Tian came to the iron ore samples, picked up a piece of iron ore sample, and examined it carefully.
Time passed slowly.
【Gold Power +1】
But at this moment, he discovered that this piece of iron ore seemed to have changed somewhat, as if it were about to turn into waste iron ore.
Immediately, he put down this piece of iron ore and then walked away quickly.
Iron ore is undoubtedly the most common ore, while most of the ores here are relatively precious.
Soon, he came before a piece of Blue Iron Ore.
Blue Iron Ore is undoubtedly a very precious type of ore, and the piece of Blue Iron Ore in front of him was large enough.
"500,000!"
Ye Tian was somewhat surprised; just this piece of Blue Iron Ore was worth 500,000!
In reality, not much Blue Iron could be extracted from this piece of Blue Iron Ore, which shows how precious the metal Blue Iron is; it is estimated to be no cheaper than gold.
"I'll just try it out; it shouldn't consume much Blue Iron, so it definitely won't be noticeable."
He touched the Blue Iron with his palm and then slowly stroked it.
The staff of this shop did not care when they saw this situation.
【Gold Power +1】
【Gold Power +1】
【Gold Power +1】
One prompt after another appeared; he was gaining one point of Gold Power almost every minute!
"Such fast speed; this is much faster than the Gold Power obtained from iron ore!"
Ye Tian was shocked.
At this moment, he understood.
He obtained different amounts of Gold Power by touching different metals.
Perhaps if he touched different trees, the Wood Power obtained would also be different.
If he were to touch those kinds of magical trees, perhaps it would be the same, allowing him to quickly obtain a large amount of Wood Power.
Ye Tian looked at the little bit of Gold Power he had gained and really wanted to keep touching it, but if he really did that, his secret might be exposed.
Thus, he let go with both hands.
"500,000, I'll buy it!"
The wealth his parents left him was several million, and added to the compensation after his parents fell, his net worth was over ten million.
Over these years, he hadn't spent much.
Therefore, he prepared to buy this piece of Blue Iron Ore, and he would also buy the piece of iron ore he had just touched.
Although they were samples, if he wanted to buy them, this shop would naturally agree.
Pay, take away.
……
Returning home, it was already dark.
Thus, he couldn't wait to touch this piece of Blue Iron Ore.
【Gold Power +1】
【Gold Power +1】
Not long after, he had gathered 100 points of Gold Power.
Boom!!!
His Metal Talent Ability awakened.
And his physical fitness also improved somewhat following the awakening of his Metal Talent Ability.
After obtaining the F-Grade Metal Talent Ability, he could still quickly obtain Gold Power by touching the Blue Iron Ore, about one point of Gold Power per minute, whereas before it took about ten-plus seconds to obtain one point of Gold Power.
More than an hour passed.
Ye Tian's F-Grade Metal Talent Ability improved again, becoming an E-Grade Metal Talent Ability.
It wasn't until after ten o'clock in the evening that this piece of Blue Iron Ore finally turned completely into a pile of ore powder.
【Host: Ye Tian】
【Realm: Beginner Ability Apprentice】
【Innate Ability: Water Element E-Grade (5/100), Fire Element F-Grade (1/100), Wood Element F-Grade (1/100), Metal Element E-Grade (89/100)】
【Strange Art: F-Grade Water Sprinkling Technique (Small Success)】
"Currently, the strongest Innate Ability has instead become the Metal Element."
Ye Tian muttered to himself.
The Metal Element is a relatively powerful ability in the early stages; some F-Grade Metal Abilities can erupt with decent lethality.
If he practiced a Metal Ability, his strength would also improve quite a bit!
"Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth—of the five common Innate Abilities, only the Earth Talent Ability remains. Tomorrow, I will awaken the Earth Talent Ability!" Ye Tian decided.
The next day, morning.
After Ye Tian finished his classes, he went straight to the riverbank from before, dug up some soil, and buried himself in it.
This should be enough to absorb Earth Power.
As expected.
【Earth Power +1】
However, the speed at which he acquired Earth Power was somewhat slow, about the same as the Water Power from before.
He did not plan to awaken his Earth Talent Ability all at once; spending a few more days would be the same.
Over the next few days, he generally acquired Earth Power while practicing Water Shield Technique and the F-Grade Metal Ability—Gold Needle Technique!
Although he could practice E-Grade Metal Abilities, there was not much time left before the First High School League, and if he practiced an E-Grade Metal Ability, he feared he might not even reach Entry Level.
Yet, using an E-Grade Metal Talent Ability to practice the F-Grade Gold Needle Technique would undoubtedly allow him to master it very quickly.
Unknowingly, only one day remained until the First High School League.
"Data Panel!"
【Host: Ye Tian】
【Realm: Intermediate Ability Apprentice】
【Innate Ability: Water Element E-Grade (55/100), Fire Element E-Grade (1/100), Wood Element E-Grade (12/100), Metal Element D-Grade (1/100), Earth Element E-Grade (1/100)】
【Strange Art: F-Grade Water Sprinkling Technique (Small Success), E-Grade Water Shield Technique (Entry Level), E-Grade Gold Needle Technique (Small Success)】
"My cultivation has reached Intermediate Ability Apprentice, and the Gold Needle has also reached the Small Success Realm!"
Ye Tian was excited.
He had not originally expected to be able to practice the Gold Needle Technique to the Small Success Realm before the league, but he had not expected that his comprehension seemed to have increased along with the increase in his Innate Abilities.
He guessed that the five Innate Abilities had strengthened his soul, and his comprehension had increased as a result.
Coupled with his Metal Talent Ability being upgraded to D-Grade, this allowed the Gold Needle Technique to break through its shackles in one go and reach the Small Success Realm.
"Gold Needle Technique!"
A golden needle condensed and pierced through a wooden board ten meters away at an extremely fast speed.
The effective lethality of an Entry Level Gold Needle Technique was five meters, while the Gold Needle Technique at the Small Success Realm reached ten meters directly, and its attack power had also doubled.
What satisfied Ye Tian the most was his physical fitness; his physical fitness was far stronger than in the past, absolutely comparable to the physical fitness of a Peak Ability Apprentice.
This was the physical fitness accumulated from the awakening and promotion of five Innate Abilities!
He could now beat up many Ability Apprentices just by relying on his physical fitness.
However, he was not arrogant; among the seniors at First High School, there were true Ability Users, and their strength was extremely formidable.
His combat power was still far from that of an Ability User, and he still needed to continue improving.
"Tomorrow is the First High School League. It is said that there are all kinds of resources in the Secret Realm. If I can find strange trees or metal ores, I can quickly improve my Innate Abilities."
Ye Tian had tested it; after his Metal Talent Ability reached D-Grade, ordinary metals were already useless.
He had tried with iron, but he could not absorb any Gold Power at all.
Only metals of the level of Blue Iron could improve his Metal Talent Ability.
When his other Innate Abilities were upgraded to D-Grade, the same situation would occur; by then, ordinary water, soil, and trees would have no effect.
In the blink of an eye, another day passed.
The First High School Senior League officially began today.
