Jiang Ye, of course, knew nothing of the Li Clan's affairs.
At that moment, he was standing in his home, staring in astonishment at the subtitles floating before him.
Talent Reconstruction?
Again? Jiang Ye was genuinely surprised.
You have achieved a new milestone: First place in the Ten Schools League, earning the recognition of millions.
Harnessing World Power to initiate Talent Reconstruction.
Please wait, World Power extraction in progress...
"Millions?" Jiang Ye's surprise deepened.
The Ten Schools League was an internal competition with no media coverage. Moreover, he was only the champion of the freshman league, attracting even less attention. Logically, recognition from a hundred thousand people would have been considered remarkable.
"The news," Jiang Ye realized, quickly pulling out his phone and connecting to the Ten Schools League network.
Soon enough.
"So that's why."
"It's because of the challenge?" Jiang Ye's expression cleared with understanding.
The influence of a league championship was indeed limited. But his challenge against Transcendent Aptitude had generated immense attention, inadvertently drawing many to learn about his league champion status.
But then, Jiang Ye realized something serious.
"This Talent Reconstruction... it won't directly promote me to transcendent, will it?" Jiang Ye's brow furrowed.
The Star Realm Sea only allowed entry to those below transcendent aptitude. If he were to ascend now, would he be barred from entering?
Just as Jiang Ye's anxiety peaked, the system's subtitles reappeared:
World Power extracted from over three million individuals.
Talent Reconstruction initiated!
Innate Talent: Dao Bone (90/100) → Dao Bone (93/100)
Physique: Profound Physique (Upper A-tier)
Innate Talent: Dao Bone (Reconstructed) (93/100)
You have acquired a new ability.
Innate Domain: Battle Soul
First Tier - Grievous Wounds:
Second Tier - Bone Armor:
Third Tier - Berserk:
Innate Domain: Tidal Echo
First Tier - Ten Thousand Mile Echo: You possess the ability to transmit sound across vast distances, ignoring all terrain.
Second Tier - Eternal Resonance: The duration of your other abilities is greatly extended, their echoes lingering endlessly.
Third Tier - Ten Thousand Waves: Form the 'Ten Thousand Tides Domain'. Within this domain, all enemies are affected by the 'Tidal Echo', losing mental control. Your voice carries the divine resonance of heaven and earth, capable of piercing the soul.
Subtitles flashed across the screen.
Jiang Ye immediately checked his innate talent.
"Good!"
"It didn't directly upgrade to transcendent," he thought with relief.
The Star Realm Sea was an opportunity he couldn't afford to miss.
If his innate talent failed to upgrade this time, he could try again later. But if he missed the Star Realm Sea? He might never get another chance to enter.
"Progress bar at 93%?" Jiang Ye frowned slightly. "Three million people only increased it by three percentage points?"
He understood the reason.
The higher the innate talent, the stronger the ability, and the greater the difficulty of upgrading it.
The required World Power also became exponentially more vast.
"Gained a new Domain?"
Jiang Ye continued reading. "Tidal Sound Domain? Mental attack?"
He was genuinely surprised.
The mental attack immediately reminded him of the Shadow Clan's abilities.
"Martial artists are supposed to be the most resistant to mental attacks, right?"
"But since it's a system reward," Jiang Ye muttered to himself, "it's probably no ordinary mental attack."
"I'll have to test it in real combat to see its true effectiveness."
If it proved effective, this ability would undoubtedly become a major asset.
"Now I have two innate abilities," Jiang Ye said, a smile spreading across his face.
But soon...
"Check the innate talent progress bar."
"This is far from the upper limit of Dao Bone Aptitude," Jiang Ye thought to himself. "I wonder how many innate abilities the true upper limit of Dao Bone Aptitude would possess?"
Currently, Jiang Ye had encountered many powerful geniuses with Dao Bone Aptitude.
Figures like Su Haiyue, Zhou Hong, and the Fire Ember Civilization's Mina and Rosen all possessed three innate abilities.
"None of them have invincible dao bones."
"Could an invincible dao bone possess four innate abilities?" Jiang Ye murmured. "Or perhaps five?"
"The criteria for an invincible dao bone vary from person to person," Bai Gui's voice suddenly echoed.
"Huh?"
"Senior Bai Gui, what do you mean by that?" Jiang Ye asked curiously.
He had almost forgotten that Bai Gui undoubtedly possessed far greater knowledge than he did.
"Generally speaking, the more innate abilities one has, the better," Bai Gui explained. "But at the level of an invincible dao bone, it's not simply about the quantity of abilities. An invincible dao bone might have only three innate abilities, or it could possess four or five, with a maximum of six."
"Six?!" Jiang Ye's breath caught in his throat.
He had already encountered numerous geniuses with three innate abilities.
Su Haiyue, Zhou Hong, Rosen, and Mina were all considered to have exceptional innate abilities.
Six innate abilities? That was simply absurd.
"But some invincible dao bones," Bai Gui said, "even with only three innate abilities, can suppress geniuses with four."
"Why is that?" Jiang Ye asked, puzzled.
"Because," Bai Gui explained, "the differences between innate abilities are vast. Some are merely supportive, while others can dramatically enhance combat prowess."
"Some individuals possess three innate abilities, all of which are purely supportive."
"In such cases, they might even be inferior to someone with a single innate ability that directly enhances combat strength," Bai Gui added.
Jiang Ye listened intently.
Indeed, as Bai Gui said, abilities that directly enhance combat strength were the most valuable.
"Of course, some supportive abilities, while not enhancing the user directly, can severely impact opponents."
"Therefore, quantity alone isn't the sole determinant; a comprehensive assessment is necessary," Bai Gui patiently explained.
"True," Jiang Ye nodded.
The Tidal Sound Domain, for example, was a supportive ability.
"Is this ability weaker than the Blood Sea Domain?"
"Not necessarily."
"If it can truly cause enemies to lose mental control in battle, the Tidal Sound Domain's effects would be absolutely devastating."
"Let me put it this way," Bai Gui said with a smile. "With sufficiently strong innate talent, even a single ability can suppress three others. Take you, for example."
Jiang Ye smiled shyly.
Could he suppress three innate abilities? It was true.
But that was because of the numerous buffs he possessed. Without them, such suppression would likely be impossible.
"Is it possible for one ability to suppress five or six others?" Jiang Ye asked curiously.
"Almost impossible," Bai Gui replied, shaking her head.
"Why?" Jiang Ye asked, puzzled.
"Those with five or six innate abilities invariably possess an invincible dao bone," Bai Gui explained. "Especially geniuses with six abilities—the quantitative change leads to a qualitative leap, reaching the pinnacle of the dao bone realm."
"Such prodigies could even defeat those with Transcendent Aptitude."
"They have virtually no weaknesses," Bai Gui continued. "Even someone with three powerful abilities would stand no chance against a genius with six innate abilities."
"Six innate abilities are that powerful?" Jiang Ye asked, astonished.
According to Bai Gui's explanation:
The invincible dao bone, possessing six innate abilities, truly reached unparalleled strength within its realm.
"Rest assured," Bai Gui said with a smile. "Even first-tier cosmic civilizations rarely produce such prodigies. As for civilizations below that level?"
"It's practically impossible."
Jiang Ye nodded, unsurprised.
Considering the vast scale of the cosmos, the birth of a genius was no mere coincidence. It was intrinsically linked to a cosmic civilization's fortune. The greater a civilization's fortune, the more likely it was to produce peerless geniuses. Conversely, lower-tier civilizations with diminished fortune would naturally struggle to cultivate such talents.
"Just how powerful is an invincible dao bone with six innate abilities?" Jiang Ye wondered inwardly. "If Senior Bai Gui is right, only first-tier cosmic civilizations or higher could produce such a prodigy. Will I encounter one in the Star Realm Sea?"
For some reason, Jiang Ye found himself anticipating his journey to the Star Realm Sea in two months with a newfound sense of excitement.
As he pondered these thoughts, a notification tone suddenly buzzed from his phone.
Jiang Ye, your championship reward from the Ten Schools League has been delivered to the entrance of Star Garden No. 11. Please collect it promptly!
"The championship reward! It's finally here!" Jiang Ye's eyes lit up.
Without hesitation, he swiftly rose to his feet and darted out of the room.
Whoa!
