Yunlan Sect.
Fighting Arena.
"Senior Brother Xu?"
"Senior Brother Xu?"
As a cautious voice rang out, the young man who had been dozing in a rattan chair at the entrance of the Fighting Skills Pavilion on the first floor slightly opened his eyes and looked at the disciple in front of him.
At this moment, he was holding a high-level Yellow Rank combat skill book in his hand—"The Heart-Clearing Sword Technique".
"A high-level Yellow Rank combat skill, it costs five gold coins to borrow for one day. Overdue payments will incur double the penalty, and serious offenders will be banned from entering the Combat Skill Pavilion." Xu Qi glanced at the young disciple and said calmly.
"I understand, I understand."
The disciple nodded quickly, then took out a small bag of gold coins and placed it in front of Xu Qi.
"Senior Brother Xu, here are sixty gold coins. I'd like to borrow them for ten days."
He had heard that although this senior brother in front of him was not old, he had quite a lot of seniority in the Yunlan Sect, otherwise he would not have been able to get the lucrative job of managing the Martial Arts Pavilion.
Building a good relationship with him is absolutely beneficial.
Looking at the bulging money bag, Xu Qi wondered where these people had learned their bad habits.
Instead of properly fixing the chain, all he does is think about these crooked ideas!
"I'll lend it to you for eleven days. Remember to return it on time." Xu Qi nodded, then calmly put the money pouch away.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Xu!" the disciple said repeatedly, and left the Martial Arts Pavilion with the combat skill.
The Arena returned to calm.
Xu Qi lay bored on the wicker chair again, gazing at the blue sky and white clouds, and suddenly let out a resentful grumble.
"Everyone else transmigrates, and so do I, but why is it that everyone else has an invincible start and is surrounded by beautiful women, while I have nothing at all?!"
That's right, Xu Qi is a time traveler.
He has been in the Dou Qi Continent for a full year!
There wasn't even a trace of the system that appeared all year!
He went from being full of hope to gradually becoming desperate.
Fortunately, the original owner was the son of an elder of the Yunlan Sect. After that elder died, the Yunlan Sect did not abandon him, but instead made him a manager of the Fighting Skill Pavilion, so that he would not end up on the streets.
Xu Qi's talent for cultivating chains is very poor. He is already eighteen years old and has only just become a one-star Dou Zhe.
In the Yunlan Sect, it would be almost at the bottom.
"Forget it, I don't have a system. I'll just be a lazy bum and coast along for a few years. I'll run away when Xiao Yan makes a scene at the Yunlan Sect."
Without the system, Xu Qi didn't even want to work hard anymore.
No matter how hard you try, it's useless.
...
[Match successful. Congratulations, host, on successfully binding to the system.]
[The 'Talent Affix' system has been successfully activated!]
Suddenly, a mechanical voice rang in Xu Qi's mind, startling him so much that he jumped up from the rattan chair.
System?!
He had been waiting for these words for far too long.
He had even decided to give up, and then the system finally appeared?!
Suppressing his surprise and elation, Xu Qi said, "System, introduce yourself."
This system is called the 'Talent Affixes' System.
[The host can discover the talents of others and convert them into their own talent attributes. This conversion can only be done once per day, and the conversion cannot be accumulated. Attributes not used on the same day will be forfeited.]
The better the basic talent and the higher the cultivation level of the target being spied on, the higher the talent level will be obtained through conversion.
Different types of talent modifiers can be stacked, but only one of the same type of talent modifier can be retained.
The obtained talent attributes can be used or dismantled to gain experience points.
Experience points can be used to upgrade talent attributes; the higher the level of a talent attribute, the better its effect.
The talent stat levels, from lowest to highest, are: white, green, blue, purple, yellow, and red.
"Talent stats... they're only useful if you can see into other people's talent stats."
Xu Qi fell into deep thought.
The system isn't very user-friendly, but at least it's a system.
Compared to his previous aimless life, he finally has something to look forward to now!
[Prompt: The host has a newbie gift pack. Open it?]
"Open."
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the talent attribute "Eye of God"!]
[Eye of the Gods (Red): You possess eyes comparable to those of a god, capable of seeing everything and perceiving all dangers. Insight increased by 1000%, vision increased by 1000%, and you gain X-ray vision within a 500-meter radius!]
...
"Insight increased tenfold, vision increased tenfold, and it can even see through 500 meters! No wonder it's a red-level keyword, it's really powerful!"
These attributes may seem useless at first glance, but if used well, they can be surprisingly effective.
Most importantly, after experiencing so many days of despair without a system, Xu Qi no longer dared to ask for anything from the suddenly appearing system; he just wanted a system.
His demands are not high, really not high!
...
"Senior Brother Xu?"
"Senior Brother Xu?"
Xu Qi was still immersed in the system when a gentle voice suddenly rang in his ears.
He came to his senses and saw a petite, graceful girl standing in front of him, dressed in a moon-white dress.
Nalan Yanran!
Xu Qi still recognized her.
However, Nalan Yanran is not yet the young sect master of Yunlan Sect; she is merely Yun Yun's personal disciple.
In addition, given her status as the eldest daughter of the Nalan family, her position in the Yunlan Sect was not low.
"Ah, it's Junior Sister Yanran. Is there something you need?" Xu Qi greeted her with a warm, sunny smile.
He was already very handsome.
Although he was somewhat lazy and inactive, it didn't diminish his handsome and dashing appearance with his sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and otherworldly demeanor.
Nalan Yanran blinked, looked at the handsome senior brother in front of her, and raised a high-level Yellow-rank combat skill in her hand.
"The Yellow-Rank Advanced Combat Skill 'Returning Wind Sword', how many days would you like to borrow it?"
"Three days is enough." Nalan Yanran smiled gracefully and placed a small bag of gold coins on the table with her delicate hands.
Judging by the weight, there must be at least twenty or thirty gold coins inside.
"Okay, take it." Xu Qi nodded with a smile.
"Hehe, thank you, Senior Brother Xu."
Nalan Yanran chuckled, took the fighting technique, and walked out of the courtyard. Her petite figure moved with light steps.
Watching her retreating figure, Xu Qi quickly used the system to check Nalan Yanran's talent attributes:
Nalan Yanran
[Talent Attribute: Blessed by the Wind God (Purple), which can comprehensively enhance wind-based combat techniques]
[Should we convert?]
"Nalan Yanran is actually purple?"
Xu Qi was somewhat surprised.
Nalan Yanran's talent is indeed remarkable, but it is limited to the Jia Ma Empire.
If placed on the entire Dou Qi Continent, her talent is far from sufficient.
But to my surprise, her talent attribute was purple.
"Convert!"
When spying, you can only see the other party's talent level, not the specific effects.
Even if the effect is lackluster, as long as the level is high enough, it can be broken down into experience points to upgrade other talent attributes.
Therefore, as long as the talent attribute level is good enough, you can use it regardless of the talent!
[Transformation successful, acquired the talent attribute 'Blessed by the Wind God']
[Blessed by the Wind God (Purple): You have received the blessing of the Wind God, deepening your understanding of wind-based energy. Cultivating wind-based combat skills and techniques will be twice as effective. Wind-based combat skill effects +500%, wind-based technique effects +500%, energy consumption for using wind-based combat skills and techniques -30%, and cultivation efficiency for wind-based combat skills and techniques increased by 500%!]
