Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 1018: The Battle for a Spot in the Ancestral Talent Pool!
TL: Etude
Boom!!!
Xiao Yue opened her eyes, and an overwhelming, invincible aura radiated from her.
Although only a few minutes had passed for Ye Tian, Xiao Yue had experienced a full ten thousand years. During this time, she fully comprehended body-refinement techniques, secret arts, and chaos divine abilities. Her strength had undergone a complete transformation.
“Just a step away from breaking the shackles and becoming a ten-star Divine General!” Ye Tian commented.
Immediately, Ye Tian guided Xiao Yue into the time formation, where he used top-tier resources to refine her physical body and push her body-refinement techniques to their absolute limit.
Inside the time formation, days passed one by one. Xiao Yue remained in closed-door cultivation, while Ye Tian took it upon himself to sign her up for the Ancestral Talent Pool Spot Battle.
This time, an overwhelming number of Divine Generals had joined the competition.
Within the quasi-Dao Realm, the number of Divine Generals far surpassed that of Heavenly Monarchs and True Monarchs. However, not just any Divine General was qualified to participate; otherwise, the sheer number of participants would be unmanageable for the top-tier forces.
Thus, only seven-star Divine Generals and above were eligible to compete in the battle for the Ancestral Talent Pool spots.
That said, it was rare for seven-star Divine Generals to register. Even if they did, their goal was not necessarily to win a spot in the Ancestral Talent Pool, as they knew their chances were slim. For most, their true purpose was to exchange pointers and spar with other talents.
In the quasi-Dao Realm, Divine Generals of seven stars and above were numerous. For instance, the Divine General Rankings’ last spot, the 1,000th rank, was occupied by an eight-star Divine General, highlighting how abundant talent was in this realm.
In the past, such a scenario would have been unimaginable! After all, any eight-star Divine General could become a core disciple of a top-tier force. However, in the current quasi-Dao Realm, an eight-star Divine General was hardly noteworthy.
Normally, every Divine General had to register in person to prove their strength, ensuring they met the Seven-Star threshold.
However, since Xiao Yue was already listed on the Divine General Rankings, she did not need to prove her strength. Moreover, with Ye Tian personally vouching for her, she was guaranteed the right to participate in the Ancestral Talent Pool Spot Battle.
As the battle’s date approached, more and more Divine Generals emerged from their closed-door cultivation, heading toward the battlefield ruins where the competition would take place.
On this day.
Xiao Yue finally ended her seclusion.
“Yue’er, how do you feel?” Ye Tian asked with concern.
“Beloved, I succeeded!” Xiao Yue replied with joy etched across her face.
Seeing this, Ye Tian felt equally delighted.
With Xiao Yue now at the level of a ten-star Divine General, coupled with her mastery of chaos divine abilities and various great divine abilities, obtaining a spot in the Ancestral Talent Pool was practically a certainty. ŘＡƝóꞖƐṥ
“Let’s go. I’ll take you to the battlefield ruins!” 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Ye Tian held Xiao Yue’s hand, tore open space, and departed from the human domain.
Shortly after.
Ye Tian arrived at the battlefield ruins alongside the large contingent from the Void Sky Hall.
The Void Sky Hall had dispatched a considerable number of Divine Generals to participate in the Ancestral Talent Pool Spot Battle this time. Even the human race had sent many Divine Generals with seven stars and above, though most of them were just there for the experience. For many, participating would allow them to accumulate real combat experience, witness a grand event firsthand, and perhaps even make a name for themselves.
More importantly, numerous Dao Ancestor incarnations would descend to observe the competition. If any participant caught the eye of a Dao Ancestor, they could be accepted as a personal disciple, instantly elevating their status.
This was one of the main reasons many Divine Generals with inadequate strength still insisted on participating in the Ancestral Talent Pool Spot Battle.
However, this battle for the Ancestral Talent Pool spots was destined to be more than just a grand sparring event—it would not be as simple as many assumed.
At the battlefield ruins, a ruined site had been transformed into the venue for the Ancestral Talent Pool event.
Surrounding the area, countless floating palaces hovered in midair. Numerous True Monarchs sat within these palaces, watching over the event. Above them, the Dao Ancestor incarnations sat on thrones, gazing down upon the proceedings with interest.
Meanwhile, the Divine Generals participating in the Ancestral Talent Pool Spot Battle stood within the designated contestant area.
At a glance, the sheer number of Divine Generals was overwhelming—at least one hundred thousand participants were present.
It was hard to believe!
When the Grand Universe first emerged, even though many geniuses had entered from Chaos, Divine Generals with seven stars and above were extremely rare. But now, such a vast gathering of talents was taking place for the very first time.
…
Within the palace belonging to the Void Sky Hall.
Ye Tian sat on a throne alongside a group of Half-Step True Ancestors, his gaze fixed on a particular section of the contestant area, where Xiao Yue stood.
Suddenly…
Beside him, a voice transmission from a Half-Step True Ancestor reached Ye Tian’s ears.
“Junior Brother, I heard that your wife is also participating in the Ancestral Talent Pool Spot Battle,” said the speaker, True Monarch Dragon Sea from the Void Sky Hall.
“Yes, Senior Brother Dragon Sea. My wife is indeed participating,” Ye Tian replied calmly.
True Monarch Dragon Sea furrowed his brow and warned, “Junior Brother, the Ancestral Talent Pool is indeed an incredible place, one even Dao Ancestors deeply desire to enter. Unfortunately, only Divine Generals or those below their level are allowed access.
A place like this is irresistible to anyone. I understand your wish to let your wife enter, but this competition for spots is no ordinary battle. Many will likely die.”
“I know,” Ye Tian responded gravely. “If the Ancestral Talent Pool didn’t restrict cultivation levels, and Dao Ancestors were allowed to compete, I believe countless of them would fall as well.
To fight for a spot, the Divine Generals will undoubtedly battle to the death, and the top-tier forces will stop at nothing. But I have complete confidence in my wife.”
Seeing that he could not sway Ye Tian’s resolve, True Monarch Dragon Sea gave up trying to persuade him.
He did not want anything to happen to Ye Tian’s wife either. If something truly went wrong, he knew that his Junior Brother would go mad. But this battle was too significant, and even Dao Ancestor incarnations had arrived in unknown numbers…
At this point, anyone who didn’t withdraw before the battle began would no longer have the chance to back out later, nor could anyone intervene once the killing commenced.
Still, True Monarch Dragon Sea could only sigh inwardly.
“Even back when I was at my peak as a nine-star Divine General, I’m not certain I would have survived such a competition unscathed. If my luck were bad, I might have perished.”
He thought to himself, doubting Xiao Yue’s strength. If she had truly been a peerless talent, she wouldn’t have needed to reincarnate and start anew.
But what Dragon Sea did not know was that Ye Tian possessed a Copy Talent, allowing him to grant Xiao Yue all the Super God-level talents he had acquired. He could even transfer any fused talents that he himself didn’t need to her.
Moreover, with the body-refinement techniques derived from the Nine Limits True Body Technique, Xiao Yue’s growth had become unbelievably defiant.
If True Monarch Dragon Sea had known all of this, he would not have tried to persuade Ye Tian at all.
…
Soon, the time had arrived.
Boom!!!!
A Dao Ancestor incarnation suddenly appeared at the center of the venue.
The many True Monarchs and Divine Generals turned to look at the newcomer, but only a few initially recognized this Dao Ancestor.
However, as word spread through transmitted whispers, more and more participants began to realize who he was.
“It’s Dao Ancestor Lunfeng from the transcendent force, Dao Mountain!”
This was a Third Heaven Dao Ancestor, and not just any ordinary one—he was a top-tier Third Heaven Dao Ancestor.
For such a figure to preside over the Ancestral Talent Pool Spot Battle, especially someone from a transcendent force like Dao Mountain, it was clear just how much importance the top-tier forces attached to this competition.
Dao Ancestor Lunfeng’s voice echoed across the venue.
“In the Ancestral Talent Pool Spot Battle, I have only a few rules to announce.
First, once you enter, death will be at your own risk, and no faction may seek revenge for those who die in battle.
Second, all methods are allowed, as long as they belong to your own strength. If anyone uses external power from others, they will be executed on the spot—no exceptions, not even for the children of Dao Ancestors.
Third, once you’ve joined, you may not withdraw. However, surrendering in time will allow you to leave safely.
Fourth, all participants must compete according to the rules. No one may exceed the established boundaries.”
The Dao Ancestor’s gaze swept across the assembled Divine Generals.
“Those who wish to withdraw may do so now.”
With that, many Divine Generals began to regret their decision to participate.
Allowing all methods without restrictions—this would undoubtedly be a battle of life and death! While surrender was technically an option, in the heat of combat, situations could change too quickly. Many wouldn’t even have the chance to utter the word “surrender” before being killed. It was easy to imagine that many weaker participants would perish.
In an instant, many Divine Generals chose to back out.
Of the original one hundred thousand participants, at least twenty thousand withdrew, leaving just over seventy thousand still standing.
When the numbers stopped changing, Dao Ancestor Lunfeng’s voice rang out again.
“The Ancestral Talent Pool Spot Battle begins now! The first round will take place inside a trial space. Each participant will be given a medallion. You may earn the medallions of others by defeating them or forcing them to surrender.
Any Divine General whose medallion is taken or who dies will be eliminated. The round ends when only ten thousand participants remain, who will then advance to the next stage.
Additionally, anyone who collects ten medallions may leave the trial space early. This rule is to prevent prolonged battles between the strong, which could result in unnecessary deaths or early eliminations of top talents.”
“What?!”
Many Divine Generals were shocked. Under such rules, the fighting would be brutal.
Anyone hoping to survive might have no choice but to surrender their medallion immediately upon entering the trial space. Otherwise, the death toll would surely be high.
Before anyone could voice objections, Dao Ancestor Lunfeng waved his hand. The seventy thousand-plus Divine Generals were immediately transported into a newly-created world, the battlefield for the first round.
The scenes within this trial world were projected for everyone outside to see.
Thus, the first round of the Ancestral Talent Pool Spot Battle had officially begun!
