Your Talent is Mine

Chapter 509: Zhou Tian’s Battle

Zhou Keke was bouncing around energetically in front of Zhou Tian, who, at that moment, was overwhelmed with joy and tears.

He felt both heartache and helplessness towards his sister’s illness, which had gradually become a source of constant worry for him.

Every time he saw his sister suffering from her illness, he wished more than anything that she could recover, or that he could bear her pain himself.

In many a night’s dream, he had seen his sister healed, only to wake up to disappointment.

Zhou Tian pinched his own arm, feeling a faint pain.

“This is not a dream!”

Zhou Tian embraced his sister tightly.

Seeing the siblings so happy, Ye Tian slowly stepped out of the wooden house.

“Master, thank you for curing my sister!”

Zhou Tian expressed his gratitude again.

“Curing your sister was a trivial matter for me. Since you’ve taken me as your master, I will guide you for a while, but I will soon leave this place,” Ye Tian said.

“Master, can I leave with you?” Zhou Tian hastily asked.

“No, you cannot,” Ye Tian shook his head and said, “I will continue to travel to various places, and following me will hinder your cultivation progress. Although there are not many powerful beings on this planet, it is still a decent environment for cultivation. When you leave this planet and truly shine among humanity, perhaps we will meet again.”

“Master…” Zhou Tian did not insist on following Ye Tian, knowing that his own strength was too weak and would only be a burden to his master.

In the following months, Ye Tian detailed every level of cultivation from Martial Warrior to Emperor level, and passed on to Zhou Tian an advanced yuan force cultivation secret technique.

Under Ye Tian’s guidance, Zhou Tian’s insights broadened, and he was no longer a novice in martial arts.

At the same time, his cultivation speed reached astonishing levels.

In a short period of time, he became a Great Martial Warrior, and this was with suppressed cultivation speed; otherwise, he could have directly become a Grandmaster or even a King-level powerhouse.

With Ye Tian’s help, he also broke through his physical limits, enabling him to exert greater combat strength.

Ye Tian only imparted basic knowledge and the considerations in cultivation to avoid detours for Zhou Tian.

As for the Saber Dao, Ye Tian did not guide Zhou Tian, as he should cultivate his own Saber Dao.

If Ye Tian forcibly instructed Zhou Tian in the Saber Dao, it could potentially destroy Zhou Tian’s own path.

Thus, Ye Tian only gave Zhou Tian two words: persevere! Zhou Tian only needed to adhere to his own Saber Dao, and one day it would shine brilliantly.

On this day, a group of black-clad warriors arrived at the mountain range where Zhou Tian and his sister resided, totaling seventy to eighty people.

The weakest among these black-clad warriors was at the Great Martial Warrior level, including eight Grandmasters and one King-level powerhouse.

“Lord Han Nan, according to our investigation, Zhou Tian and his sister are most likely hiding in this mountain range. We have located Zhou Tian several times before, but to confirm his location, we only sent a few Great Martial Warriors to scout, all of whom died. This time, with Lord Han Nan personally taking action, Zhou Tian will have no escape! The powerful saber technique in his hands will then belong to Lord Han Nan!” a Grandmaster said while bowing.

“If we truly capture Zhou Tian this time, everyone will be rewarded!” Han Nan promised.

“Thank you, Lord Han Nan!” all the warriors shouted excitedly.

“It seems there will be some entertainment,” Ye Tian said with a slight smile after glancing outside the mountain range.

“Zhou Tian!” Ye Tian called out.

Whoosh! A figure ran over.

“Master, do you have any instructions?” Zhou Tian asked.

“A group of warriors is coming this way, likely your enemies. There’s a King-level warrior, eight Grandmasters, and a large number of Great Martial Warriors among them,” Ye Tian said calmly.

“A King-level warrior!” Zhou Tian’s pupils shrank.

Before meeting Ye Tian, King-level warriors were legendary figures to him.

Even now, he was unsure if he could defeat a King-level warrior.

His self-created saber technique was indeed powerful, capable of invoking the power of the Saber Dao.

However, his current cultivation was only at the Great Martial Warrior level, with Grandmasters above him and King-level warriors above Grandmasters.

The gap between a Great Martial Warrior and a King-level warrior was immense.

“Don’t worry, you can fight to your heart’s content this time,” Ye Tian said.

“Master, I understand!” With no fear in his heart and his powerful master present, Zhou Tian knew he wouldn’t die.

This battle would be… his chance to prove his strength!

Rumble! Han Nan and his group quickly located the mountain where Zhou Tian and his sister lived.

A powerful divine sense swept over, instantly covering the mountain, belonging to Han Nan.

“Hahaha, found them! Zhou Tian and his sister are indeed here!” Han Nan exclaimed excitedly.

Soon, Han Nan and his group arrived. To prevent the battle from affecting his sister, Zhou Tian took the initiative to attack Han Nan and his group.

The two sides met beside a stream.

“Capture Zhou Tian for me!” commanded Han Nan, the King-level powerhouse. His status was too noble to lower himself by taking action personally.

“Yes!” A group of Great Martial Warriors charged towards Zhou Tian.

These weren’t ordinary warriors; they were top-tier Great Martial Warriors, at the pinnacle of their cultivation level, far stronger than those Zhou Tian had previously defeated.

However, Zhou Tian’s strength had also significantly surpassed his previous level.

“Kill!” Zhou Tian drew his saber, striking with incredible speed.

Thud, thud, thud! One by one, the Great Martial Warriors fell to Zhou Tian’s blade, unable to mount any resistance.

Witnessing this, a Grandmaster couldn’t help but rush forward, only to be split in half by a streak of saber light as he approached Zhou Tian.

“How is this possible?” Han Nan was stunned.

That was a Grandmaster, not a newly advanced one but a seasoned fighter. Not the strongest among Grandmasters, but certainly a powerful one. And yet, a Great Martial Warrior had instantly killed him! However, this excited Han Nan. The stronger Zhou Tian was, the more formidable the mysterious saber technique seemed.

If he could master this technique, his strength could soar, possibly making him invincible among King-level warriors, maybe even challenging those at the Saint level.

“All seven of you, attack together!” Han Nan ordered.

The remaining seven Grandmasters felt a chill. Their strength wasn’t much greater than the one who had just perished. If Zhou Tian could instantly kill that Grandmaster, he could surely do the same to them.

“Lord Han Nan, our strength might not be sufficient… Perhaps you should take action yourself,” one of the Grandmasters suggested timidly.

“If I have to act, what use are you to me?” Han Nan’s killing intent enveloped the seven Grandmasters, causing them to tremble.

Knowing Han Nan was truly enraged and that failing to act could mean their demise, they charged at Zhou Tian.

Seeing the seven Grandmasters approaching, Zhou Tian was solemn. His speed and defense were his weaknesses; he relied on his attack power and saber speed. If he couldn’t kill his enemies in one strike, he might be the one to die.

“Slash!” Zhou Tian struck with all his might.

Three Grandmasters attempted to counter Zhou Tian’s strike with their attacks but were effortlessly defeated, their defenses shattered.

Three Grandmasters died instantly! The remaining four, who managed to dodge in time, were still grazed by the saber qi.

“He’s a Great Martial Warrior; his speed and defense must be weak. Use long-range attacks!” one of the Grandmasters suggested before unleashing his fire spear talent.

Boom! A massive fire spear formed and shot towards Zhou Tian.

Zhou Tian, with his lower cultivation level, struggled to detect the fire spear’s trajectory. But relying on his instinctive reactions, he met it with a slash of his saber.

Boom! The fire spear shattered under Zhou Tian’s blade, but the explosive fire energy engulfed him, leaving wounds across his body.

“He’s injured; let’s capture him!” the four Grandmasters rushed in excitedly, thinking Zhou Tian was severely wounded and weakened.

However, as they approached, Zhou Tian ignored his injuries and unleashed his lightning-fast saber strikes.

Thud, thud, thud, thud! The four Grandmasters couldn’t dodge in close range and were each struck down.

With that, all the Grandmasters had fallen.

At that moment, Han Nan laughed, freezing the remaining Great Martial Warriors into ice statues with his cold ice talent.

“You killed your own men?” Zhou Tian was astonished.

“A bunch of useless beings, and they could potentially reveal my secrets. Now, if I capture you, only I will know of the mysterious saber technique!” Han Nan declared.

Zhou Tian was gravely serious; he was no match for Han Nan, especially not against his cold ice talent.

Suddenly, Han Nan’s expression changed as lights approached from afar.

In an instant, figures appeared, all of them King-level warriors.

“Nineteen King-level warriors!” Zhou Tian’s pupils constricted, surprised that so many had appeared for a non-existent mysterious saber technique.
