Chapter 513: Chapter 513: Consuming Yin Yang Fruit, Talent Skill Advancement

Xiao Zhan tossed the Yin Yang Fruit into the Dimension Space; now was not the time to use it, he needed a safe environment to do so.

He and Liu Xin returned to the harvesting area.

Chernokov hadn’t noticed anything out of the ordinary.

The day’s work came to an end smoothly.

The next day, Xiao Zhan naturally did not go to the Northern Bear Federation; neither did Liu Xin nor Zhu Rong, as the Spirit Fruits in the Northern Bear Federation’s area were similar to those on the Longxia Federation side.

After Liu Xin informed the members of the Federation’s harvesting team about the harvesting methods, they were able to complete the task well on their own.

...

Inside the Cultivation Room.

Xiao Zhan took out the Yin Yang Fruit; now that the environment was safe, he was ready to absorb this Yin Yang Fruit and see what this so-called Yin Yang Truth was all about.

Ye Youlong was sitting opposite him.

Both sat cross-legged, and then Xiao Zhan swallowed the Yin Yang Fruit in one gulp.

Although it was shaped like a gourd, it wasn’t big, about the size of a normal kiwi.

The Yin Yang Fruit melted in his mouth, turning into a stream of pure energy that entered Xiao Zhan’s body.

The energy was alternately cold and hot, quite wondrous; once it entered his body, as if by agreement, it split Xiao Zhan’s body in two, occupying the left and right sides.

Xiao Zhan suddenly found himself in a world of ice and fire.

One side of his body felt as though it had fallen into an icy river, chilling to the soul; the other side as if it had fallen into volcanic magma, so hot that it was smoking.

Fortunately, this extreme sensation did not continuously erode either side of the body, but after reaching a certain degree, the two energies would exchange, cold and hot alternating, causing Xiao Zhan’s whole body to steam.

But his face showed a look of comfort.

At the same time.

During the alternation of the two energies, Xiao Zhan felt the Death Aura in his body was being agitated.

It moved uncontrollably; Xiao Zhan was unable to wrestle back control.

He could only watch as the Death Aura roamed his body.

The Death Aura pervaded his entire body, infiltrating every piece of flesh and every meridian, including those weak and barely usable meridians.

Xiao Zhan immediately felt engulfed by an utmost sense of nihilism.

A forlorn sense of despair rose inevitably in Xiao Zhan’s heart.

At the same time, he felt as if the Life Force in his body was rapidly depleting.

This feeling was quite unsettling for him.

But the slight annoyance lasted only a second before it turned forlorn again, swallowed by the mountainous sea of nihilism.

Under this pervasive infiltration, a black light suddenly emitted from Xiao Zhan’s brow, and a diamond-shaped crystal condensed out of the black light, then floated above his forehead.

This was the Death Seal.

Xiao Zhan had obtained it from the Death Secret Realm of the Ye Family.

He was somewhat surprised; how could even the Death Seal be agitated?

Thinking time was short, the Death Aura within his body surged into the Death Seal as if finding a destination. In the blink of an eye, the Death Seal became unfathomably dark, like a small black hole, even sucking in the surrounding light.

In just a few seconds, the Death Aura within Xiao Zhan’s body was completely absorbed.

Empty, as though overstretched.

But the next second, the Death Seal released a stream of Death Aura, entering back into the various meridians within Xiao Zhan’s body from his brow.

Xiao Zhan couldn’t control this phenomenon, but he could feel that the Death Aura re-entering his body was somewhat different from before.

A colder aura, filled with desolate despair, identical to the Death Aura released by the Yin Yang Fruit.

Xiao Zhan knew this was a sign that he had become stronger.

But there was no joy in his heart, for as the Death Aura grew stronger, his lifespan was being consumed more rapidly.

Yet, helplessly, Xiao Zhan could do nothing about it.

Time went on, and after about half an hour.

Everything calmed down, and the Death Seal returned to the center of Xiao Zhan’s forehead.

Only then could Xiao Zhan regain control over his own body.

The first thing he did after regaining control was to release his Perception Skill, to check for any changes within himself.

But as he did, he was instantly shocked.

He looked incredulously at Ye Youlong beside him.

Ye Youlong was just as shocked because she perceived what Xiao Zhan had perceived.

"A Talent Skill... has advanced," Ye Youlong murmured these words, her tone still seemingly in disbelief.

Xiao Zhan nodded stiffly, "It seems so, indeed it’s different."

As he spoke, Xiao Zhan gently closed his eyes, carefully feeling the information conveyed by his senses.

After a while, he opened his eyes and looked solemnly at Ye Youlong, "It turns out you are actually a bit bigger than 36D."

Huh?

Ye Youlong’s eyebrows furrowed, and she reached out with her small hand, pinching Xiao Zhan’s waist, "Is this really what you use your Talent Skill for?"

Xiao Zhan hurriedly pleaded for mercy; it was just a joke, not a big deal.

But speaking of which, the Perception Talent Skill had indeed undergone a qualitative breakthrough.

Previously, Perception Skills were only on a surface level, such as number, shape, size, energy intensity, etc. But now, it had delved into much finer detail.

For example, when Xiao Zhan looked at Ye Youlong, besides her exterior characteristics data, he could also sense the energy flow inside her body.

This flow included not only the superficial form but also the core aspects like the speed of flow, energy intensity, location of flow... and other such variations.

This was a significant enhancement.

Because seeing the energy flow meant Xiao Zhan would know the target’s next move.

Like in previous battles, Xiao Zhan could anticipate an opponent’s next attack move based on muscle movements and posture changes, then counter in advance.

However, that was not powerful enough; it only allowed one to predict the attack moves, not the intensity of the attack.

Now, Xiao Zhan could predict both.

For Xiao Zhan, in actual combat, this meant he would know which skills he could dodge, which he could resist, which he could disrupt, and which were feints, and so on.

It was as if the opponent’s every move could not escape Xiao Zhan’s eyes.

Knowing the enemy and knowing oneself, one can fight without danger in a hundred battles.

While not necessarily one hundred percent, Xiao Zhan having this ability at least laid the foundation for a one hundred percent certainty in battles.

But at this moment, Ye Youlong couldn’t quite bring herself to be happy, for as Xiao Zhan could sense her body data, she could likewise feel his.

In her perception, Xiao Zhan’s body was very weak, not just superficially, but a weakness at the inner core of his life.

She could sense that Xiao Zhan’s Life Force was rapidly depleting; before, he could have lived for about a year and a half to two years.

But now, it was less than a year.

And the reason for this situation was eating the Yin Yang Fruit, which led to the advancement of his Talent Skill!
