Your Talent Is Good; It’s Now Mine - Chapter 4

Soon after, Li Jiye left Daphne’s office and directly returned to his dormitory.

Seeing that his other roommates had yet to return, he took out his body-building potion and took the time to strengthen his body.

Once the rest of the body-building liquid was consumed, his physical strength rose to his desired Tier 2-warrior level.

Although the excruciating pain of the body-building potion was almost unbearable, the end result was incredible.

He opened his eyes and smiled.

He could finally practice the Godspeed Steps!

Before class started, he ran through a simulation of the Godspeed Steps in his mind.

In the afternoon, he went to the martial arts training ground. The afternoon class was mainly about learning combat skills.

After going through so many fights on the edge of life and death, this kind of combat training wasn’t difficult for him at all.

He might as well use this time to practice the Godspeed Steps.

Only then could he get closer to Bilder and replicate the B-level body pose from him.

Thus, as soon as the class was over, he went directly to the forest on the edge of the back mountain to practice the Godspeed Steps.

“Boom!”

Not long after, he heard an explosion, and a tree as thick as a bowl was sliced across the middle.

Feeling the power of the Godspeed Steps, he couldn’t help but grin in satisfaction.

The conditions for cultivating this skill was much harsher, yet the resulting powerup was very gratifying.

He was only just getting started. If the cultivation was fully completed, his power would definitely rise exponentially.

For the whole of next week, he went to class during the day and practiced the Godspeed Steps in the forest at night.

A week passed by in a flurry.

He returned to the martial arts pavilion joyously with two martial arts already under his belt.

“Teacher Bilder, I’ve come to return the martial arts books,” he said politely.

“Put them back where you got them.” Bilder lightly glanced up at him.

Li Jiye nodded and placed the books back on the shelf.

But he didn’t leave immediately.

“Teacher Bilder, I have something I need your help with.”

Hearing this, Bilder frowned slightly. “What is it?”

“I encountered some trouble when I was cultivating the Godspeed Steps. I hope to get some guidance from you,” Li Jiye responded.

“Hmph. You refused to listen when I told you not to choose the Godspeed Steps. Now that you’ve met some difficulties, you finally know where you’ve gone wrong?” Bilder snorted coldly.

Of course he remembered Li Jiye.

Not because of his performance in the assessment, but because of the chosen Godspeed Steps.

Although the Godspeed Steps was only an E-level martial art, after successful training, its explosive power could be comparable to a B- or C-level martial art.

It was just that many people were discouraged because of the harsh cultivation conditions.

The excruciating pain of the body-building potion made people fear consuming it a second time.

Who would use the potion to temper their body more than ten times like Li Jiye? He had experienced more than ten times the pain of his bone marrow being penetrated.

Bilder obviously didn’t think of this, and he looked at Li Jiye with eyes full of displeasure.

Li Jiye’s next words completely stunned him.

“Teacher Bilder, you have misunderstood. I’ve already cultivated the Godspeed Steps, but there are some differences from the book, and I feel confused.”

Bilder took quite a while to return to his senses. He looked at Li Jiye in disbelief. “What did you say? You’ve already cultivated the Godspeed Steps?”

“That’s right, Teacher Bilder. I’ve already cultivated the Godspeed Steps.”

“Let me see,” Bilder said excitedly.

“Teacher Bilder, I don’t think this is appropriate? This is the martial arts pavilion.”

“Yes, let’s go somewhere else.”

While talking, Bilder closed the door and led Li Jiye to a large open space behind the martial arts pavilion.

“Come on, show me the Godspeed Steps.” Bilder looked at him and ordered.

“Okay, Teacher Bilder.”

Immediately, he rushed straight at Bilder. Using the Godspeed Steps, his right leg burst with power, gathering a strong wind as he kicked towards Bilder.

A look of satisfaction appeared in Bilder’s eyes. He watched Li Jiye approach in vain and then grabbed hold of his leg.

But at the same time, Li Jiye, who had been readying himself, also heard a clear voice in his mind.

“Ding! Congratulations on your successful replication of the B-level movement technique, Shadow Wind Steps!”

Yes, he was successful!

Joy burst in his heart.

He had gotten the B-level movement technique!

With the Shadow Wind Steps, his overall strength would definitely improve tremendously.

His safety was now guaranteed in Demonic Beast Mountain Range.

Just as he was planning on how to proceed, Bilder said, “Not bad. I didn’t expect you to actually cultivate the Godspeed Steps and even perform it with such strength.”

“You flatter me, Teacher Bilder,” Li Jiye said modestly.

“Very few people cultivate the Godspeed Steps. The road ahead is still very long. The Godspeed Steps is definitely not as simple as you think. It requires a high exertion of the physical body and will also be increasingly difficult to master. You must be mentally prepared.”

“Yes, mentor, I’ll keep it in mind.”

“Okay. Remember not to be impatient in the cultivation of the Godspeed Steps. It’s very important that you improve your physical body. Only when it’s strengthened can the true power of the Godspeed Steps be displayed.” Bilder continued, “Here is a body-building exercise. You can improve your physical strength by following the above methods.”

While talking, he took out a book from his pocket and threw it to him.

“Thank you, mentor.” Li Jiye quickly thanked him.

“You’re welcome. It’s not easy finding someone who can cultivate the Godspeed Steps. This body-building exercise is a gift from me.” Bilder waved his hands dismissively.

After they bid farewell to each other, Li Jiye went straight to the hidden forest where he practiced daily.

The incident at the martial arts pavilion was considered a bumper harvest for Li Jiye.

Not only did he replicate the B-level movement technique, he also obtained a special body-building exercise from Bilder.

In the forest, he enthusiastically practiced the Shadow Wind Steps. Instantly, his speed rose by 50%.

The improvement in his speed would definitely rise if he achieved greater proficiency in it.

Once he had practiced the Shadow Wind Steps over and over again and exhausted the energy in his body, he finally sat down and took a breather. He rested for a while and then resumed his practice.

From the evening to dawn, he exhausted his energy countless times. At the same time, the Shadow Wind Steps became handier and handier to him.

In the following days, he attended class during the day and came to practice in the forest at night.

More than ten days passed in a flash.

In addition to becoming a Tier 2 martial artist as he desired, Li Jiye had now achieved proficiency in both Shadow Wind Steps and Falling Leaves Deadly Knives.

Especially since he practiced the Shadow Wind Steps again and again, his speed had now doubled.

Falling Leaves Deadly Knives was not bad either. With enough energy, it could also cause decent damage.

As for Godspeed Steps, he didn’t stop practicing it either. But he didn’t have enough liquid medicine to support it, and the speed of his physical body was also very limited.

Thus, he decided to leave the academy and head to the Demonic Beast Mountain Range once more. He wanted to hunt for magic cores to exchange for liquid medicine again.
