Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 1105: Children Growing Up

TL: Etude

Black Wolf City.

Ye Xingchen and Ye Xingyue, the brother-and-sister duo, had become celebrated talents in Black Wolf City. Despite their seemingly ordinary background, with parents who were common folk, their cultivation talent was outstanding. In just eighteen short years, they had advanced to the Extraordinary Realm—a realm similar to the former God level in the revised cultivation hierarchy of the human race.

An Extraordinary Realm powerhouse was considered one of the stronger figures in Black Wolf City. Combined with the siblings’ habit of aiding others and punishing wrongdoers, they had gained a great reputation.

One day.

Thirty thousand miles from Black Wolf City lay Sunset Village.

Ye Xingchen and Ye Xingyue had come here while investigating a human trafficking organization. Despite its pleasant name, the siblings quickly discovered that Sunset Village served as a stronghold for an evil faction specializing in capturing young, beautiful women—a vile practice.

“Brother, let me kill those people this time!” Ye Xingyue said coldly, gripping her sword.

“Alright, alright!” Ye Xingchen nodded. Although he wanted to kill those scum himself, he couldn’t bring himself to steal the opportunity from his own sister.

Soon, the two arrived at Sunset Village and spotted several people patrolling the area.

These patrolling martial warriors had sixth- or seventh-stage strength, and from their observations, the strongest individual at this stronghold was only at the ninth stage, without any Extraordinary level warriors.

Furthermore, their spiritual senses detected over a hundred women being held captive within Sunset Village.

These women appeared in poor condition, each one completely despondent.

Seeing this, Ye Xingyue could hold back no longer and charged forward.

Swish! Sword lights slashed through the air, slicing down the patrolling warriors one by one.

“Enemy attack!”

The entire Sunset Village was soon in an uproar, with even the ninth-stage martial warrior rushing out.

In the Profound Void Ancient Realm, without reaching the Extraordinary level, one couldn’t even fly, so this ninth-stage martial warrior was similarly grounded.

“Kill her!”

A wave of warriors charged forward, yet before the strength of an Extraordinary Realm powerhouse, they were like ants, utterly powerless.

Realizing that his opponent was at the Extraordinary level, the ninth-stage warrior was immediately terrified, but he forced himself to remain calm and threatened, “The two of you, mere Extraordinary levels, dare to intrude upon our Sunset Village? Do you even know who backs us?”

Ye Xingyue paused, not out of fear, but rather a desire to learn who was supporting this group so that she could eliminate the masterminds behind them.

“Oh? And who might that be?” Ye Xingyue asked curiously.

Seeing his threat taking effect, the ninth-stage warrior replied, “We’re backed by the Zhao Clan of Silver Blue Nation!”

Ordinarily, revealing their backers would be forbidden, but with his life at risk, he couldn’t care less.

Besides, in the Silver Blue Nation, the Zhao Clan was as good as the heavens themselves.

“Zhao Clan of Silver Blue Nation!” Ye Xingyue frowned slightly.

This was no small force; it was a colossal power. Rumor had it that the Zhao Clan had even propped up the rulers of Silver Blue Nation and extended its influence across many countries.

Moreover, it was said that a major force backed the Zhao Clan—a top-tier overlord on the Starry Sky Continent.

Of course, this top-tier overlord wouldn’t intervene on behalf of the Zhao Clan so easily, but even the Zhao Clan alone could dispatch an Extraordinary level warrior at will.

The Extraordinary Realm spanned nine stages, with the peak of the ninth stage being the God-level, comparable to a Universal God. Then beyond that was the Divine General level. Though the Extraordinary level wasn’t especially remarkable on the Starry Sky Continent, the Zhao Clan not only possessed many Extraordinary-level powerhouses but also a great number of God-level experts. It was rumored that their Grand Elder was a Divine General.

“Even so, you must die!” Ye Xingyue lashed out in fury, killing the ninth-stage warrior on the spot.

The warrior had never imagined that even after invoking the Zhao Clan’s name, Ye Xingyue would dare strike. How could she be so bold? If this got out, she’d have no way of escaping.

After killing the ninth-stage warrior, Ye Xingyue swiftly took down the remaining warriors in Sunset Village, freeing the captive women.

When it was over, Ye Xingyue, looking worried, said, “Brother, I killed people from the Zhao Clan—they surely won’t let us off now!”

Ye Xingchen comforted her, “Sister, you did nothing wrong. If you hadn’t acted, I would have. Now we just have to hope that they don’t trace this back to us.”

“Alright!” Ye Xingyue nodded slightly.

The siblings destroyed Sunset Village, erasing any trace of their presence before leaving swiftly.

Not long after.

A streak of golden light descended upon the ruins of Sunset Village, revealing an Extraordinary-level powerhouse from the Zhao Clan.

“Sunset Village… has been destroyed.” Zhao You of the Zhao Clan spoke coldly.

Immediately, he began investigating. Though he found no trace of the intruders, he managed to capture a few women who had escaped. Through interrogation, he confirmed that the attackers were two young individuals of the Extraordinary level, one male and one female.

Once he had a description of the two, Zhao You mobilized the Zhao Clan’s influence in the Black Wolf City area to identify them.

It didn’t take long for the Zhao Clan to pinpoint the identities of the attackers—young talents from Black Wolf City, a pair of twin siblings named Ye Xingyue and Ye Xingchen.

The Zhao Clan acted cautiously, refraining from taking immediate action. They conducted a background check and confirmed that the siblings had no powerful connections. Their parents were ordinary folk, and their achievements in cultivation were due to natural talent and rapid progress, which had allowed them to reach the Extraordinary level.

At the Silver Blue Nation’s Zhao Clan branch, the branch master, Zhao Ba—himself at the God level—immediately ordered a ninth-stage Extraordinary-level subordinate to lead a squad of several dozen Extraordinary-level warriors to Black Wolf City.

Such a force could easily wipe out Black Wolf City, let alone capture two fledgling talents at the mere first stage of the Extraordinary level.

…

Black Wolf City.

After returning, Ye Xingchen and Ye Xingyue remained anxious and didn’t dare venture out again.

They weren’t worried about their own safety but feared involving their parents.

“Should we leave and take Mother and Father with us? We could flee to another country,” Ye Xingyue suggested.

“But would they agree?” Ye Xingchen frowned. “They’ve lived here for over a decade. Their friends and business are here. Asking them to leave everything behind—I’m sure they wouldn’t want to!”

“But if the Zhao Clan….” Ye Xingyue’s worry grew intense. Just then, an overwhelming ninth-stage Extraordinary-level aura enveloped the entire Black Wolf City.

Boom! The Zhao Clan’s warship descended, and a ninth-stage Extraordinary-level warrior led several dozen other Extraordinary-level fighters, hovering above the city, gazing down over it all.

At this, the sixth-stage Extraordinary-level City Lord of Black Wolf City rushed out, pale with fear.

“My respects to the esteemed Zhao Clan elders!” he greeted them deferentially.

“We’re here to capture two people. Until we find them, no one may enter or leave Black Wolf City!” commanded Zhao Ziling, the ninth-stage Extraordinary powerhouse.

“Understood!” replied the city lord.

“Ye Xingchen, Ye Xingyue! You dared to kill members of our Zhao Clan. Get out here this instant!” Zhao Ziling roared.

Inside their home, Ye Xingchen and Ye Xingyue turned pale. They hadn’t expected to be exposed so quickly, having completely underestimated the Zhao Clan’s reach.

The Zhao Clan’s Extraordinary-level spiritual senses swept through Black Wolf City, quickly locating the siblings.

Whoosh! A wave of Extraordinary-level warriors descended upon them. Not wanting to endanger those around them, Ye Xingchen and Ye Xingyue voluntarily flew out to face them.

“Incredible talents. At only eighteen, without much… support, you two have already reached the Extraordinary level. If you’d been raised by one of the major powers, you might have had a chance of reaching God level by now! But unfortunately, since you’ve offended the Zhao Clan, you must die!” Zhao Ziling declared coldly.

“Hmph, your Zhao Clan deserves to perish for capturing young women to sell as slaves!” Ye Xingyue retorted.

“Do you have proof?” Zhao Ziling sneered. “Besides, look around—who’s going to believe you?”

Ye Xingyue looked toward the Lord of Black Wolf City, but he averted his eyes, unwilling to meet her gaze, while the other Extraordinary-level figures of the city dared not show their faces at all.

“Do you understand now? Power is everything. Without it, you dared to provoke the Zhao Clan? Death is the only fate that awaits you!”

With that, Zhao Ziling made his move, pressing down with his palm as though he were a deity suppressing a mere monkey.

The gap between first and ninth-stage Extraordinary levels was vast, a difference akin to the breadth of the galaxies.

Unlike in novels where foes were conveniently slightly stronger than the protagonist, with each one delivering themselves to death, reality offered no such illusions.

The Zhao Clan sent a ninth-stage warrior with the intent to leave no chance for these first-stage youths to survive.

Ye Xingchen and Ye Xingyue struck with all their might, but the moment they clashed with Zhao Ziling’s colossal palm, their power shattered like tofu against stone.

This strike was unstoppable—certain death awaited them.

In Black Wolf City, many Extraordinary-level experts sighed. If these siblings had been given time to grow, Zhao Ziling would be nothing to them. But they had cultivated for too short a time.

Just then, Zhao Ziling’s massive palm suddenly dissipated on its own.

“Who’s there?” Zhao Ziling felt a surge of terror. His martial skill had been silently dispelled—what kind of power was this? A God? Or perhaps… one of the legendary Divine Generals?
