I Can Upgrade My Talent Infinitely-Chapter 72: Combat 2-Star

He finished reviewing all the settlements.

He could also gain Talent Points by observing others refine artifacts, provided he clearly learned something.

Assisting in Artifact Refining also granted Talent Points, and the amount he received likely depended on how much effort he put in.

After looking at the two new settlement notifications for Talent Points and drawing his conclusions, Fang Yun quickly navigated to the Combat Talent interface.

He had gained 3,727 Talent Points from the settlement, and had 698 left over from last month.

He now had a total of 4,425 Talent Points.

With enough for four Combat Talent draws, Fang Yun refused to believe he wouldn’t be able to upgrade a Combat Talent to two stars this month.

Four consecutive draws.

’Here we go!’

With a thought from Fang Yun, the wheel on the Combat Talent interface began to spin.

Shoe Talent Fragment x2

Shield Talent Fragment x1

Sword Talent Fragment x1

After completing the Combat Talent draws, his Shield Talent was the first to upgrade.

An even more intense, wondrous sensation washed over him, accompanied by a stronger feeling of scorching heat.

The feeling came and went quickly.

The wondrous sensation was fine, but the scorching heat couldn’t last too long, or Fang Yun wouldn’t be able to bear it.

Once the Combat Talent draw settled, the interface immediately updated.

[Artifact] Shield Talent ★★ (0/24)

[Artifact] Sword Talent ★ (5/6)

[Artifact] Shoe Talent ★ (5/6)

Now, both his Sword Talent and Shoe Talent needed just one more fragment each to be upgraded to two stars.

’I hope I can upgrade both of these Combat Talents to two stars next month.’

In the short term, Fang Yun really hoped his luck with talent draws would be better.

If his Combat Talent draws next month were good enough, he would only need two thousand Talent Points to raise all his Combat Talents to two stars.

After all these Combat Talents were upgraded to two stars, he could start upgrading his Life Talents.

In the long run, though, it didn’t really matter.

Talents needed to be constantly upgraded. If he drew more Combat Talents at this stage, he would just have to draw fewer during the next stage for Combat Talents.

Fang Yun got out of bed and walked to the center of the room.

He wanted to briefly test the effects of his two-star Shield Talent.

He would only know its full potential in actual combat.

A Profound Iron Shield appeared in Fang Yun’s hand. This shield was an Upper-Grade Magical Artifact, and also the best Upper-Grade Magical Artifact he owned.

He could tell from the settled Talent Points that the better the Magical Artifacts he refined, the more Talent Points he received.

Unlike the Profound Iron Shields of the same grade he’d made before, this one had been crafted with superior auxiliary materials, and his Artifact Refining skill had also improved.

’The Spiritual Power consumption is much lower.’

Fang Yun first activated the Profound Iron Shield with all his might and could clearly feel that it truly didn’t use much Spiritual Power.

The next moment, another Profound Iron Shield flew out from Fang Yun’s Storage Pouch, joining the first one to circle around him.

Controlling two Upper-Grade Profound Iron Shields was now effortless for Fang Yun.

Before his Shield Talent was upgraded, it had been a completely different story.

This was the charm of upgrading talents!

"Again."

A third Profound Iron Shield began to circle around Fang Yun, though this one was a Middle-Grade Magical Artifact.

"Again."

"Again!"

Five Profound Iron Shields appeared at once—two Upper Grade and three Middle Grade.

And this wasn’t even his current limit. After all, he was only at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer, not the Seventh Layer yet.

With Fang Yun’s masterful control, the five Profound Iron Shields stacked up in front of him before he recalled them all into his Storage Pouch.

He no longer had any Lower-Grade Profound Iron Shields on him; he had sold them all in a batch to the Artifact Pavilion.

Though it was just a simple test, Fang Yun was satisfied and began to restore his Spiritual Power.

He had consumed very little Spiritual Power, and after a moment of recovery, his Qi Sea was full again.

Having rested, a refreshed Fang Yun took an Upper-Grade Cyan Jade Pill and immediately entered a state of refining and absorption.

He had grown accustomed to cultivating at night.

There was a difference between the bodies of Cultivators and mortals.

Even for Cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, as long as they rested when they were tired, it didn’t matter what time they rested.

After overcoming the shadow in his heart, Fang Yun became more relaxed about his schedule.

He should make up for his sudden death in his past life by living this one well.

By the time Fang Yun finished refining and absorbing two Upper-Grade Cyan Jade Pills, the sky was already beginning to brighten.

First thing this morning, he planned to make a trip to Battle Peak.

Only through Magical Combat would he be able to truly experience the difference between a one-star and a two-star Combat Talent.

When Fang Yun arrived at Battle Peak, the sky was still dark. Today was an overcast day.

The gloomy weather and blowing wind were actually quite pleasant.

"Junior Brother Fang!"

Fang Yun looked in the direction of the voice.

It was a female Inner Sect disciple. She looked somewhat familiar, yet also a bit strange.

Fang Yun quickly remembered. This was Senior Sister Guo, the fifth person who had paid him a deposit for Artifact Refining.

The deposit had been fifteen Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

He had already finished refining the Upper-Grade Magical Artifact she requested. According to their agreed-upon time, it wasn’t yet time for her to pick it up.

But since they had already run into each other, it was a good opportunity to hand it over.

"Senior Sister Guo, here is the Magical Artifact you wanted." As she approached, Fang Yun took out a red whip.

"Junior Brother, you’ve already finished refining it!"

Senior Sister Guo was delighted to receive her custom-refined Upper-Grade Magical Artifact ahead of schedule.

A senior brother who had used a Magical Artifact refined by Fang Yun had given it a very high rating, which made her even more excited about this Upper-Grade whip.

"Here you go, Junior Brother. This is forty-five Lower-Grade Spirit Stones."

As Senior Sister Guo took the red whip from Fang Yun’s hand, she gave him the remaining Spirit Stone payment.

"Senior Sister, you can familiarize yourself with this Magical Artifact first before going to spar."

"Mm."

Before Fang Yun could even finish speaking, Senior Sister Guo had already channeled her Spiritual Power into the red whip. With a sharp CRACK, the tip of the whip struck the ground.

Her first impression of the red whip was that it had an excellent feel to it, which met her expectations.

"Oh, right, Junior Brother, are you here to spar today?" Senior Sister Guo quickly asked.

Ever since he had accepted the deposits for Artifact Refining, Fang Yun hadn’t appeared on Battle Peak.

Without a doubt, he must have been busy with Artifact Refining during that time.

Now that Fang Yun was back on Battle Peak, Senior Sister Guo wasn’t sure if he was here to spar or to see if any other disciples needed a custom-fit Magical Artifact.

Although Fang Yun had said last time that he would accept a maximum of ten Artifact Refining jobs, it wasn’t impossible that he might want to take on more now.

"Of course I’m here to spar."

"What do you think of me as an opponent?" Senior Sister Guo immediately pointed to herself.

She had always wanted to spar with Fang Yun but never had the chance. Now, she had finally caught her opportunity.

For her, today was truly a day of double happiness.
