Etude Translations

 Chapter 26: The Beast-Clearing Plan TL: Etude "Mighty Ant!" Ye Tian carefully read the introduction about the Mighty Ant. In reality, the Mighty Ants were merely low-level beasts, yet they were a particularly terrifying species. Their strength could rival that of mid-level beasts, and they typically appeared in swarms, numbering in the tens of thousands. Even a Grand Martial Warrior would be besieged to death upon encountering the Mighty Ants. "Mighty Ants undoubtedly possess an incredibly powerful innate strength. I knew from my past life that ants were very strong. Being beasts, Mighty Ants naturally have this ability. This ability is a talent. If I could replicate the talent of the Mighty Ants, my combat power would be boosted instantly!" Ye Tian was intrigued. However, he was also very aware of the dangers of Mighty Ants. Once a type of beast formed a colony, it became a terrifying entity, especially if it was a colony of beasts with special talents. I...

  Chapter 25: Searching for Offensive Talents TL: Etude The Tiger Claw Fish was an intermediate-level beast, not weak by any means. Ye Tian chose not to engage with it, instead circling around it as he continued his search for the Immortal Jellyfish. With his duplication talent, no aquatic beast could escape his detection. Moreover, since becoming an Elite Martial Warrior, the range of his duplication talent had increased from three meters to ten meters. Within this ten-meter radius, he could detect the talents of all living creatures. Time slowly passed. Ye Tian detected many aquatic beasts, the most dangerous of which was a high-level beast. Fortunately, he detected it from a distance of ten meters, and the beast didn't use its psychic abilities for detection, allowing Ye Tian to avoid it in time. Half an hour later, Ye Tian finally found what he was looking for—a small group of Immortal Jellyfish. Species: Immortal Jellyfish  Bloodline Talent: Elementary  Healing Talen...

  Chapter 24: Elite Martial Warrior TL: Etude Without any incidents along the way, Ye Tian safely returned to Linhai Base. The day after his return, he visited the black market and purchased numerous vials of intermediate beast blood, spending nearly all of the 10 million he had. He could have easily paid off his debts if he had used the 10 million for that purpose, but Ye Tian chose to buy intermediate beast blood instead. Although he had ten bottles of high-level beast blood, relying solely on them for cultivation wouldn't last him three months. The most effective method was to occasionally use high-level beast blood for cultivation and use intermediate beast blood to supplement his practice at other times. In the small courtyard of his villa, Ye Tian began practicing the Intermediate Elemental Body Forging Technique. This technique had only nine movements, but each was far more intricate and complex than those in the basic Elemental Body Forging Technique. As he executed the Int...

  Chapter 23: Yue Ling's Gift "I'm not dead?" Yue Ling slowly regained consciousness from her stupor, her first thought filled with confusion. Given the circumstances, she had been almost certain of her demise. Yet, here she was, conscious, which meant someone had saved her. "Could any of my guards have survived?" Yue Ling wondered subconsciously. But she immediately dismissed the idea. Facing a top-tier beast, it was impossible for her guards to have survived. Opening her eyes, she found her surroundings somewhat dark, but her keen senses told her someone was nearby. "You're awake," a somewhat youthful voice said. Although she couldn't see the person's face, Yue Ling recognized the voice. "Ye Tian, did you save me?" She tried to stand but was too weak; she could only manage to sit up. "Yes, I happened to see you lying on the ground and brought you to this small cave," Ye Tian responded. "Thank you for saving me...

Chapter 22: The Lake of Death TL: Etude "We have maps of the Lake of Death priced at 10,000 and 100,000. Which one would you like, sir?" the female clerk asked earnestly. "What's the difference?" Ye Tian inquired. "The 10,000 one provides a general layout and basic information, while the 100,000 one offers detailed information, even including the types and weaknesses of many aquatic beasts in the Lake of Death," the clerk responded. "Give me the 100,000 one," Ye Tian declared. A mere 100,000 was nothing to him. The more he could learn about the Lake of Death, the better, as it would help him avoid many dangers. After paying the 100,000, Ye Tian obtained the map of the Lake of Death and also purchased some healing medicines. Having bought what he needed, Ye Tian left some instructions for his sister Ye Yu and then left Linhai Base. ... The ten-kilometer journey was not easy. Ye Tian was extremely cautious and took more than half a day to final...

 Chapter 21: Target—Immortal Jellyfish! TL: Etude After just a few days of cultivation, Ye Tian found himself in a bit of a predicament. It wasn't that his progress was slow; rather, the movements required for a Martial Warrior's cultivation were too expansive. Although there were only nine movements, each one could disturb the air, and the room at home was too small. He risked damaging household items with a single careless move. "It's time to move. This location is on the edge of the base. If a beast invades the base, this place would be the first to be attacked. I'm not afraid, but my sister hasn't started cultivating yet and has no means of defense. I'll often venture into the wilderness in the future and won't be able to protect her. We must move to a small villa in the center of the base," Ye Tian decided. The central villa area was very safe. Unless the base was breached, it was unlikely to be affected. However, the houses there were extreme...

  Chapter 20: Cultivating the Elemental Body Technique TL: Etude Joining the Martial Pavilion would bring him only disadvantages, not benefits. If Ye Tian only had mid-level or high-level cultivation talent, he would definitely join the Martial Pavilion. The organization had vast resources and could offer him the best cultivation environment. However, his ability to continuously improve his talents might make him the most talented person on Earth. Joining the Martial Pavilion would inevitably involve talent testing. How would he explain his continuously improving talents in the future? Would he keep claiming that he had obtained a treasure that could enhance his talents? Such an excuse might work once, but not repeatedly. Even if the Martial Pavilion valued him highly, they would become suspicious of his secrets, and his talent-copying ability would be exposed. Ye Tian was well aware of his situation. He wouldn't join any organization, as that would only bring trouble. However, he ...
