Martial Arts Longevity Begins with the Equipment Slot

Chapter 14 Seizing Talent, Mad Wolf Bloodline

A punch that hit a vital spot.

The powerful force pierced through the jaw and shattered the skull.

Broken bone fragments flew everywhere.

Mixed with strands of red and white liquid.

The wolf girl died on the spot.

The moment the werewolf was killed, the [Talent Slot] changed.

[Slay a descendant of the demon race and obtain the talent "Wild Wolf Bloodline". Equip it?]

Chen Yu immediately checked.

[Talent Slot (Tier 1 56%)]

Number: 1 grid

[Talent]: Berserker Bloodline

[Quality]: Mid-grade Tier 1

[Status]: Not equipped

[Equipment Requirements]: None

[Equipment Effect]: On the night of the full moon, you are forced to enter the "Berserk" state, which increases speed by 50%, strength by 30%, and stamina consumption by 10%, lasting for half an hour; after the "Berserk" state ends, you enter the "Exhaustion" state, which reduces all attributes by 40%, lasting for two hours.

Chen Yu processed this sudden information, pondering it deeply.

I never knew how to advance the [Talent Bar], but it turns out it's done this way.

You can acquire the opponent's talent by defeating them.

Why didn't I gain any talents when I killed Iron Tower and Thunder Leopard before?

Is it because they simply didn't have any talent to begin with?

Or is the wolf girl's identity more special?

Does killing mortals not work? Must one be a descendant of demons to gain talent?

Chen Yu looked at the talent effect of "Wild Wolf Bloodline". It can be enhanced on the night of the full moon, but will cause exhaustion after the end.

It can be considered a limited-time buff effect with some negative effects.

The numbers seem high, but they're not very controllable.

I've only unlocked one slot so far, and I've already equipped "Rebirth".

The "Transformation" equipment effect is extremely powerful and lasts a long time, so it definitely shouldn't be replaced.

Then the "Wild Wolf Bloodline" cannot be equipped for the time being.

Let's talk about it after we upgrade the [Talent Segment].

"The victor is Chen Yu!"

The referee's verdict brought Chen Yu back to reality.

The sounds from the audience gradually reached his ears.

"That's all the wolf girl is? What a jerk!"

"My banknotes! How could this happen!"

The tattooed man, enraged by his loss, grabbed the one-armed swordsman by the collar.

"Didn't you say the werewolf girl was a sure winner? How come she was killed so quickly?"

The one-armed swordsman shoved him aside.

"Who knew that newcomer was so strong, even managing to take down the werewolf girl."

"Damn it, Chen Yu really made me lose out big time, I want to kill him!"

"Didn't you watch the match? You're not even as good as the werewolf girl, and you dare to attack him? You'll probably get beaten to death!"

Some are sad, some are happy.

Those who bet on Chen Yu to win naturally cheered.

"A fantastic match, the highlight of the night!"

"Chen Yu is invincible! He brutally beats the wolf clan, upholding our national prestige!"

"From this day forward, Chen Yu is the number one in the B-class cage!"

Amidst the frenzied noise, the old blind man began to play the erhu.

A mournful and powerful melody began to play.

Master Jin walked slowly onto the stage.

Master Jin is the head manager of this underground martial arts arena, in charge of all affairs of the arena.

He came up on stage to award bonuses to the fighters who participated in the deathmatch that night.

The so-called "bonus" totaled one thousand taels of silver, which was an extra reward for the brave fighter's outstanding performance.

There is only one "bonus" award, which is decided by Master Jin and several distinguished guests.

Chen Yu won three consecutive matches tonight, demonstrating outstanding performance and winning the "bonus" award without any controversy.

Second floor of the auditorium.

He Taifeng's face was ashen, and he looked sullen.

He originally intended to fleece Song Xiangxiang, but ended up being the one who got fleeced.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yu possessed such strength, easily winning three consecutive matches.

Without a word, he handed the lost silver notes to Song Xiangxiang and turned to leave.

"Okay, okay!"

"I knew I wasn't wrong about Chen Yu; he gave me a resounding victory this time!"

Song Xiangxiang beamed with joy.

After losing to Ho Tai Fung nineteen times in a row, he finally beat him once, which was a great relief.

She walked step by step to Chen Yu, took out a black pill, and handed it to him.

"This is a blood-replenishing pill, which can counteract the side effects of the blood-burning pill."

Chen Yu took the pill, but did not swallow it immediately; he simply placed it under his tongue.

"You won three fierce battles tonight, which is a great achievement for me. I want to reward you," Song Xiangxiang said gently. "Just tell me what you want."

"Could the young lady bestow upon me a skin-refining technique?" Chen Yu asked tentatively.

What he lacks most right now is advanced cultivation techniques, so since he has this opportunity, he must ask about them.

"No problem, I'll have someone deliver it to you when we get back home."

Song Xiangxiang agreed readily on the surface, but she had other plans in mind.

In the Skin Refining Realm, cultivation techniques alone are useless; secret medicines are also needed.

Internal cultivation and external application are both indispensable.

Without the aid of secret medicine, it is difficult to refine skin.

Forcing yourself to practice could even damage your body.

She only agreed to give Chen Yu the cultivation technique, not the secret medicine.

By restricting the supply of the secret medicine, we can firmly control Chen Yu.

Without the secret elixir, it is impossible to complete the cultivation of the Skin Refining Realm unless one is a martial arts prodigy who is one in ten thousand.

But what she didn't know was that Chen Yu had an equipment slot.

There is no skill that cannot be mastered in his presence; it's just a matter of how fast or slow one progresses.

"Oh, right," Song Xiangxiang continued, "you can only take 10% of the 'bonus' that Master Jin gives you."

Chen Yu had long anticipated that this young lady would not let him have his way.

"Who gave you the opportunity to compete here?"

Song Xiangxiang's tone turned cold.

"The first one, it was me."

"You are nothing but a slave, a lowly person. Even if you become my personal bodyguard, you will still be a slave."

"Without my appreciation, you are nothing. You won the game entirely because of my support."

"Therefore, I will take 80% of the 'bonus' reward."

Chen Yu remained calm, as if a dead person were speaking.

"Secondly, you should thank Zhuang Fangyuan."

"If he hadn't recommended you to me, you wouldn't have had the opportunity to be here."

"Zhuang Fangyuan deserves credit for his recommendation and should be rewarded with ten percent."

Song Xiangxiang deliberately said this in front of Chen Yu.

This is her way of managing subordinates.

By using unfair rewards, they incite conflict among the servants, causing them to fight amongst themselves and check and balance each other.

This way, she can take charge as the arbiter.

After working hard all night, is it possible to only get a 10% "bonus" in the end?

Chen Yu wasn't too surprised by the result.

Born as a household slave, one is always subject to the control of others.

Zhuang Fangyuan and I have never gotten along.

He was chosen as the daredevil, and it turned out he was the one pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Now that Song Xiangxiang has confirmed it, he is even more determined to kill Zhuang Fangyuan.

Of course, Chen Yu understood this as well.

Zhuang Fangyuan was indeed a villain, but in the end, it was Song Xiangxiang who made the decision.

Song Xiangxiang is the biggest villain.

As long as this young lady isn't eliminated, I can forget about ever living a peaceful life.
