Chapter 146: Ch 146- Strange Talent

Ten hours had already passed.

By this point, all ten flags had been found and the competition had become much more intense. The cultivators who had obtained the flags had hidden themselves so it was hard to find them.

So most of the remaining participants were now focusing on fighting desperately for beast points.

At the top of the ranking were three cultivators who had all reached the Peak Stage of the Origin Soul Realm.

The person in first place seemed to have a Speed Talent. His speed was quite impressive but Mo Yuan did not think his talent was anything special. The second-ranked cultivator used a sword technique that allowed him to display much greater strength than an ordinary Peak Stage Origin Soul cultivator. The third was a large and muscular man who seemed to rely mainly on his physical strength.

After watching them for several hours, Mo Yuan had roughly figured out their fighting styles.

’They are pretty good but nothing too impressive.’

His attention was actually focused on another person.

A young woman.

She was currently ranked thirty-ninth, which was nowhere near the top. However, Mo Yuan had been watching her for almost two hours and the more he watched, the more strange he found her.

Whenever she encountered another cultivator, she never seemed to lose.

At first, Mo Yuan thought she was simply very experienced but after watching several battles, he noticed something even stranger.

She could adapt to her opponent’s fighting style within just a few seconds.

If someone used a fast sword technique, she quickly adjusted to their speed. If someone changed their attack pattern, she would change with them. Even when fighting someone stronger than herself, she seemed to understand their movements after exchanging only a few attacks.

What was even more strange was that she only used basic sword techniques.

She did not use any powerful secret technique or special movement technique.

Even the other Sovereign Realm cultivators had noticed her.

David stared at the screen and said, "This girl must have some kind of battle-related talent. The way she adapts is too strange. I have never seen anyone learn an opponent’s fighting style this quickly."

Mu Bai nodded. "I agree, it is almost as if she already knows what her opponent is going to do after watching them for only a few seconds."

Bai Chuan also nodded.

Mo Yuan narrowed his eyes.

’What kind of talent is that, could it be some kind of mental talent? or perhaps a Comprehension Talent?’

He could not figure it out.

Just then, the screen changed as the girl entered another part of the wilderness. After hunting several beasts, she suddenly encountered the cultivator who was ranked second.

David immediately became interested.

"Let’s see how she deals with him."

On the battlefield, the young woman stopped several meters away from the second-ranked cultivator.

The young man looked at her and did not seem to take her seriously.

"Give me all the beast materials you have collected."

The girl raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"Oh? You can try to take them."

"Hmph."

The young man snorted.

He had already reached the Peak Stage of the Origin Soul Realm and his sword technique was one of the reasons he had managed to reach second place. Naturally, he was confident in his strength.

He raised his hand and a sharp sword appeared in his grip and the moment he stepped forward, his aura changed.

"Sky Splitting Sword!"

His sword flashed.

A sharp sword light shot forward, cutting through the trees in front of him. The attack was fast, forcing the girl to move back.

She did not panic and her eyes carefully watched his sword.

The young man followed immediately with another strike.

Then another.

His sword technique became faster with every attack and each strike followed the previous one smoothly. The girl kept retreating, blocking each attack with her own sword.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Their swords collided several times.

Suddenly, the girl’s movements changed and she copied his footwork.

The young man’s eyes widened slightly.

She then swung her sword in the exact same manner as him.

"What?"

He quickly blocked the attack but the girl did not stop.

She continued using the same sword technique. The angle and movements were same, even the timing was almost identical.

For the first time, the young man’s expression became serious.

He increased his speed and attacked again.

The girl followed.

Within a few exchanges, it was as if there were two people using the exact same sword technique fighting against each other.

Inside the Human Federation Tower, Mo Yuan’s eyes slowly widened.

’What the hell? she copied his sword technique?’

Mo Yuan was not the only one who was shocked. The other Sovereign Realm cultivators were also staring at the screen with serious expressions.

David frowned slightly as he watched the girl use the same sword technique as her opponent.

"This must be her special talent. I have never seen anyone with a talent like this before. It is definitely not an ordinary talent. I think it might even be an Ultimate Grade talent."

Bai Chuan looked surprised. "What is her name? I don’t think I have ever seen her before."

Mu Bai immediately pulled out a thick file from the side and quickly flipped through the pages. After searching for a while, he finally stopped.

"Her name is Ming Yue. She came from a Tier 3 Base about a month ago and hasn’t joined any organization yet. She is sixteen years old and according to the information, she doesn’t have any family."

In just a few minutes, Ming Yue’s basic information was placed in front of the Sovereign Realm cultivators.

David nodded slowly. "This is indeed a good talent. If she develops properly, she might even have a chance to enter the Holy Base in the future."

Mu Bai’s expression became serious.

"And this might not even be her only talent, what if she has another powerful talent?"

Bai Chuan nodded. "We should talk to her after the final round."

Then David looked toward Mo Yuan and laughed.

"Looks like we found another genius, Mo Yuan. Of course, compared to you, she is still much weaker but her talent is enough to put her among the geniuses of Cang Lan Base."

Mo Yuan smiled awkwardly but his mind was already thinking about something completely different.

’Can she copy my Boundless Saber Art too?’

His eyes narrowed slightly.

If she could copy not only sword techniques but also other techniques after watching them, then this talent was truly terrifying.

A small smile appeared on Mo Yuan’s face.

’Looks like coming to this tournament was the right choice.’

He had originally come here just to watch the competition and look for a talent worth copying.

He never expected that he would actually find such an interesting talent.

’I wonder what her talent will be like when I copy it.’
