Etude Translations

Chapter 114: The Invincible King Beast! TL: Etude "Xiao Xue, let's go!" Ye Tian leapt onto Xiao Xue's back, and Xiao Xue soared into the sky, heading towards Demon Sea base. Quickly, Xiao Xue approached Demon Sea base but stopped short of entering. Boom! Boom! Boom! Sounds of distant combat reached their ears. "What intense fighting!" Ye Tian's pupils constricted, deeply surprised. Far away, a dense swarm of ferocious beasts was besieging Demon Sea base, attacking from both the sky and the ground. In the sky, a group of flying beasts, including numerous king-level beasts, relentlessly assaulted the defensive array. Meanwhile, on the ground, there were countless top-tier, high-tier, and medium-to-low-tier ferocious beasts, their numbers impossible to calculate. Judging by the scale alone, this army of ferocious beasts was at least a hundred times larger than the beast swarm threatening Linhai Base, and their quality was much higher. Throughout all this, t...

Chapter 113: Slaying the King Beast, Crisis Temporarily Averted! TL: Etude Ten minutes had passed. The King Beast, Black-Back Battle Bear, had not been slain by Ye Tian. Though it was covered in wounds and bleeding profusely, saturating the ground into a pool of blood, it continued to fight with immense battle spirit. Contrastingly, Ye Tian, while uninjured, had consumed much of his physical and magical energy. At that moment, Ye Tian activated his quasi-mystical level talent—Blood-Draining Talent. "Devour!" A copious amount of the Black-Back Battle Bear's blood flew into Ye Tian's mouth, which he swallowed in one gulp to replenish his physical and magical strength. Such was the horrifying capability of the Blood-Draining Talent; it allowed him to consume blood to regain strength, fueling him to keep fighting, whereas the Black-Back Battle Bear could not recover its own wounds or strength. Ye Tian glanced back at the Linhai Base and frowned instantly, "There are ...

  Chapter 112: The Beast Tide Is Here, The War King Beast!​ TL: Etude At Linhai Base, atop the city walls. Numerous armed warriors stood there, eyes gazing into the distance. At that moment, fear gnawed at their hearts; some were even unable to grip their energy weapons. Elder Li and other masters had already briefed them on the situation—a beast tide was approaching, led by a King-tier Beast and hundreds of top-tier beasts, with tens of thousands more in tow. Had Elder Li and the others not repeatedly assured them that there were individuals designated to handle the King Beast and top-tier beasts, they would have lost all will to fight. Time trickled away, and the tension within everyone intensified. Just then, an elite warrior with an eagle-eye talent suddenly shouted, "The beast tide is here! An endless wave of beasts is approaching, led by a massive black bear that stands a hundred meters tall!" Boom! The crowd was instantly plunged into panic. "Quiet down! ...

 Chapter 111: Spatial Rift! TL: Etude The sun blazed in the sky. A blood-red figure flew into Ye Tian's villa, right under the indifferent gazes of the onlookers. Astonishingly, it was Xiao Xue! Over the past few days, Ye Tian had been tirelessly crafting array disks, and had dispatched Xiao Xue to gather intelligence. Just as expected, Xiao Xue returned today with a report. "Xiao Xue, you seem more energetic. Did you consume a lot of beast blood while you were out?" Ye Tian inquired. "Not much, just a little!" Xiao Xue retorted. "How little is a 'little'?" Ye Tian asked, amused. "Only a few hundred high-level beasts and seven or eight top-level beasts," Xiao Xue replied. "Is that what you call 'a little'?" Ye Tian shot Xiao Xue a stern glance before continuing, "How did the reconnaissance go? When is the beast tide expected to break out?" Xiao Xue responded earnestly, "I observed from the sky. To the ...

Chapter 110: Insanely Crafting Arrays!  TL: Etude "Someone's coming!" Ye Tian sensed with his spiritual power that a group of people had arrived outside his villa. They were the high-ranking officials from the Linhai Base. "We pay our respects to Grandmaster Ye!" Old Man Li and the other great martial warriors stood outside Ye Tian's door, bowing deeply. "Come in." Ye Tian's voice rang out. Li and the other great martial warriors entered and soon saw Ye Tian and the War Blood Sky Dragon. Though the dragon had restrained its aura, it made no effort to hide its realm or imposing presence. A top-tier beast! Old Man Li looked at the dragon, Xiao Xue, his body trembling. He felt that this beast had the power to kill him in an instant. It was undoubtedly a fearsome top-tier beast. Then, his eyes fell upon Ye Tian, and he was struck with awe. "Grandmaster!" Ye Tian's realm had reached that of a grandmaster, not just a great martial warri...

Chapter 109: Arrival at Linhai!  TL: Etude At the Linhai Base. Warriors were still hunting ferocious beasts in the wilderness, while ordinary people or martial trainees carried on with their daily routines. None of them noticed the impending beast tide. Meanwhile, it seemed that the Demon Sea Base had completely abandoned Linhai Base and would not notify anyone there. However, many high-ranking officials at Linhai Base sensed something unusual. Not that they discovered the beast tide, but they noticed that the higher-ups from the Martial Pavilion and the banks were secretly evacuating. A meeting was convened in response to this situation. Zong Shi, the old man, and a group of major warriors, gathered at the Lin family's residence. Since the Lin family was nominally in charge, it was the natural place for the meeting. But this time, the meeting was chaired not by Lin Wanli but by Zong Shi, the only one qualified for the task. At the meeting, Zong Shi began, "Ladies and gentleme...

Chapter 108: Can I Fly, Even if Just a Little? TL: Etude Ye Tian had originally planned to cultivate until he reached the pinnacle of the Grandmaster level before leaving the Demon Sea Base. However, after only just over twenty days of cultivation, having just raised his physical strength to 10 elephants, a message arrived, disrupting Ye Tian's plans. "Something's happened at the Linhai Base?" Ye Tian frowned. The message came from Yue Ling; its accuracy should be high. As for the Linhai Base, to say Ye Tian had no emotional attachment to it would be untrue. It was where he had lived and also the hometown of him and his sister, Ye Yu. Though they had now moved and settled in the Demon Sea Base, that didn't mean he had forgotten his old home. His villa at the Linhai Base was still unsold, indicating his intention to return someday. But now, something had occurred at the Linhai Base. Immediately, Ye Tian contacted Yue Ling, hoping to get more accurate information fr...

Chapter 107: Flying and Blood Bone Talent!  TL: Etude At Home Ye Tian closely examined the design diagram of the Qi Gathering Array. Only then did he realize that to set up a Qi Gathering Array, one not only needed to master 100 array glyphs, but also required spirit stones to activate the Qi Gathering Array. "The most basic Qi Gathering Arrays don't need spirit stones, but the energy they slowly absorb is hardly more than what's available in the outside world. Only with the help of spirit stones in the intermediate Qi Gathering Arrays can one quickly condense the natural essence. No wonder the villa doesn't have this kind of intermediate Qi Gathering Array—it requires spirit stones. Ordinary people can't get hold of spirit stones; even if they have a Qi Gathering Array, they can't activate it!" Ye Tian had an epiphany and subsequently burst into delighted laughter. Spirit stones were something he had in abundance! In the secret realm, he had dug up over 2...

Chapter 106: Achieving the Goal through Integration TL: Etude Ye Tian opened the information; all related contents about the Shanghe Array Tower were displayed one by one. The Shanghe Array Tower was established by King Shanghe, who was once a renowned figure in the Demon Sea Base. Not only was he a king-level powerhouse, but he was also a top-tier array master. He was one of the few with the highest attainments in array skills in the Demon Sea Base and was also one of the contributors in the construction of the base's defensive array. Unfortunately, due to an accident, King Shanghe returned to the Demon Sea Base with serious injuries. He hastily constructed the Array Tower and left behind his legacy. Anyone with high-tier array talents was eligible to challenge the Shanghe Array Tower. Clearing each floor would reward one with a array design diagram. Once someone cleared the ninth floor, they could become the successor of King Shanghe. However, no one had become his successor to d...

 Chapter 105: The Shanghe Array Tower Mission! TL: Etude Three people had failed the assessment. Old man Li Zhong was one of them, another was a middle-aged man whose talent was only mediocre; he had failed as well. The third was a young man who, despite possessing basic array talent, failed due to his shaky foundational grasp. "Next, I will announce the number of loopholes each of you found!" Chen Yao declared. "Li Dehai, you found one loophole!" "Zhang Keke, you found two loopholes!" ... "Chen Dong, you found four loopholes!" At that moment, Chen Dong was so excited he could barely contain himself. He shot a provocative glance at Ye Tian. He was no longer afraid of offending Ye Tian. As far as he was concerned, he had become a basic array master and a member of the Array Master Association. What could a grandmaster like Ye Tian do to him, especially when he had no intention of leaving the Demon Sea Base? He was fearless! "Ye Tian, you foun...

 Chapter 104: Seven Flaws!  TL: Etude "A wager? Alright!" The young man pondered for a moment before speaking, "Betting money is too uninteresting. How about we bet on points instead? Once you become a junior array master, you can earn 100 points as a reward from the Array Masters Association. These points can't be bought with money; you can only earn them by taking on tasks from the association. Therefore, points are extremely valuable. I am quite confident in becoming an array master, although I'm not sure about you. Shall we settle on this wager?" "Agreed!" Ye Tian consented. He wasn't short on money, but he did lack points. Although he wasn't sure how many points he needed for the Qi Gathering Array design, it was undoubtedly good to earn more points. Why wouldn't he agree if this young man was willing to give him points? Name: Chen Dong Cultivation Talent: High-level Array Talent: Low-level Looking at the talent information of the ...

 Chapter 103: Formation Master Examination! TL: Etude Three days later. Ye Tian arrived once again at the Formation Master Association and was promptly led to the grand hall on the second floor of the Association. "Ten people!" Ye Tian surveyed the grand hall and saw eight young people, one middle-aged man, and one old man. Including himself, there were eleven people. After Ye Tian reached this place, the staff member who had led the way left. "Esteemed Grandmaster, are you the examiner?" A young warrior walked over and nervously inquired. "No, I'm also here to participate in the Formation Master Examination!" Ye Tian responded indifferently. There was a stir. The looks the other examinees gave him varied; some were reverent, while others were disdainful. To some examinees, the fact that Ye Tian could attain the rank of Grandmaster indicated he had extraordinary talent. However, participating in a Formation Master Examination at this time perhaps sugge...

Chapter 102: High-tier Array Talent!  TL: Etude Array Talent! This was a magical talent. Many of the arrays in the Demon Sea Base were set up by array masters. While their combat abilities might not be particularly strong, their methods of array setup were incredibly diverse—killing arrays, defense arrays, illusion arrays, sound-proofing arrays, energy channels, qi gathering arrays, and so on. Ye Tian wanted to replicate array talent. His aim was not to master arrays, but to create an qi cultivation chamber for himself, obviating the need for a cultivation tower. Array masters weren't hard to find; they were vital figures within the Demon Sea Base. Many major powers had array masters stationed within them. The Martial Pavilion headquarters even housed a high-ranking array master. Previously, Ye Tian had reviewed the talent profile of an array master but had not chosen to replicate it as array talent was not his target then. That day, Ye Tian returned to the Martial Pavilion headqua...
