Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 41: The Crisis of Tieya Base

TL: Etude

"Sis, this is the Basic Body Forging Technique. Watch closely as I demonstrate it for you," Ye Tian stood in the courtyard, personally showing his younger sister Ye Yu the basics of body forging.

Ye Yu was a quick learner. In just seven or eight days, she had fully grasped the Basic Body Forging Technique. After that, she was free to cultivate on her own. Initially, Ye Tian didn't provide her with any beast blood. He wanted her to build a solid foundation first. Only after she had reached the level of a martial disciple did he give her low-level beast blood to aid her cultivation.

While Ye Yu was cultivating, Ye Tian didn't waste any time either. After this period of cultivation, his strength had increased significantly, reaching 35,000 jin. With the amplification of his high-level strength talent, this was equivalent to 350,000 jin. His rate of progress was enough to make countless martial warriors blush with shame.

Yet, Ye Tian was still not satisfied. He knew he only had high-level cultivation talent. What about those with top-level or even higher talents? Wouldn't their progress be even more exaggerated? Therefore, he had to quickly enhance his abilities, replicate more talents to enrich himself. Sooner or later, his talents would be unparalleled on Earth, and even in the entire starry ocean.

"Almost there. In a few more days, I'll be able to replicate another talent," Ye Tian said, somewhat expectantly.

That day, Ye Tian went to the wilderness, preparing to hunt another batch of mid-level beasts. He needed mid-level beast blood for his cultivation, a resource that was incredibly scarce. Even in the black market, it was rarely seen, and if it did appear, it was quickly bought by martial warriors from large families. Ye Tian could occasionally buy mid-level beast blood, but the quantity was too small. His high-level cultivation talent allowed him to refine mid-level beast blood at an extremely fast rate, consuming far more than other elite martial warriors. Naturally, he needed to go to the wilderness to replenish his supply.

However, as he walked on the streets, he noticed many martial warriors walking in groups, carrying large and small bags. He could vaguely see various supplies and daily necessities. The key issue was that these martial warriors were quite unfamiliar, not like those from Linhai Base.

"So many elite martial warriors!" Ye Tian observed one of the teams and found more than a dozen elite martial warriors, expressing his surprise.

The key was that there was more than one such team. Along the way, he had encountered at least three such teams.

"These must be martial warriors from other bases," Ye Tian speculated.

So many martial warriors suddenly entering Linhai Base indicated that something significant had happened. Although Linhai Base had trade relations with Tieya Base, it was unlikely that they would send so many elite martial warriors. These teams didn't look like merchant groups; they seemed more like they had come to settle.

Ye Tian didn't think much of it and left the base to hunt beasts.

Meanwhile, at the Lin family residence, Lin Wanli and Lin Ze, along with several other top martial warriors, were all frowning deeply.

"Big Brother, is the information accurate?" Lin Ze asked with a furrowed brow.

Lin Wanli sighed, "The information was sent by our undercover agents in Tieya Base; it's definitely true. I've long felt that Tieya Base's actions were abnormal. They couldn't be helping Linhai Base so selflessly. As expected, they've fallen into such a dire situation that they're considering moving into our Linhai Base."

When he first received the news, he couldn't believe it was true.

After multiple confirmations, the information was found to be accurate. Although Tieya Base was a medium-sized base with two grandmasters and dozens of elite martial warriors, it was still at the bottom of the medium-sized bases. This time, a massive beast horde was discovered near Tieya Base. The leader of this horde was on the verge of evolving into a king-level beast. Once that happened, the horde would inevitably expand, and Tieya Base would be the first to bear the brunt.

If they could stop this beast horde, the crisis at Tieya Base could naturally be averted. However, the problem was that Tieya Base was no match for this horde. As for seeking help from stronger individuals from other large bases, that was also hopeless. Tieya Base had tried but failed to enlist their aid.

To protect the people of their base, Tieya Base prepared to move to the nearest Linhai Base. However, they were concerned that Linhai Base might not be willing to accept them, which led to the proposal of a trade cooperation route.

The other elite martial warriors of the Lin family were also full of worries. Once the martial warriors from Tieya Base moved into Linhai Base, the balance of power in Linhai Base would inevitably be disrupted. The Lin family might even lose its control over Linhai Base.

"Big Brother, why don't we refuse to let the martial warriors from Tieya Base enter Linhai Base?" Lin Ze suggested.

"It's too late for that," Lin Wanli shook his head. "We've already signed a contract with Tieya Base. If we go back on our word, they'll have an excuse to take action against our Lin family. They're using trade as a pretext to gradually send a large number of martial warriors into Linhai Base. Once a large number of martial warriors and civilians from Tieya Base arrive, Linhai Base will no longer be our Linhai Base."

Everyone pondered for a long time and concluded that they were helpless.

"We can only take it one step at a time," Lin Wanli said.

By evening, Ye Tian returned with some mid-level beast materials and a large amount of mid-level beast blood. After inquiring about the situation, he learned that a large number of people from Tieya Base had moved into Linhai Base. They were not doing business but were renting entire buildings and villas, as if planning to stay here long-term.

In the following days, news spread that people from Tieya Base were leaving their base to move into Linhai Base. They were even building houses on the outskirts of Linhai Base, planning to expand the base to accommodate more people. The Lin family couldn't stop this, as the land outside Linhai Base was not part of the base but belonged to the the wilderness area. Building houses there didn't break any rules.

The reason for Tieya Base's move also came out: they were threatened by beasts and were on the brink of destruction. When Ye Tian heard this news, he was shocked. That was a medium-sized base with even two grandmasters. If such a base couldn't hold on, then Linhai Base was relatively lucky to be in a safe area. But if Tieya Base fell, who knew when that beast horde might come to Linhai Base, putting it at risk of destruction as well.

"I must become stronger as quickly as possible. Only greater strength can ensure the safety of both myself and my sister," Ye Tian urgently thought.

So, he redoubled his efforts in cultivation, and his rate of strength increase accelerated. One day, while reading a large amount of information on various beasts at home, he prepared to find a super-fast beast and replicate its talent. Suddenly, his eyes stopped on the information of a particular beast.

"Black Panther Wolf!"
