Chapter 8: Infusing Cultivation Base, Triggering Five Critical Hits!_1

As soon as the Earth Ape King appeared, he ran to Ye Feng on all fours, rubbing against him as the sturdy ground reverberated underneath his weight.

Ye Feng stroked the low head of the Earth Ape King, who then quietly sat down.

Even when seated, the Earth Ape King was still considerably taller than Ye Feng.

"It would be more convenient if you could be a bit smaller!"

Ye Feng felt that though it was impressive having the Earth Ape King, its massive size was too conspicuous and inconvenient to keep outside.

Perhaps understanding Ye Feng's words, the Earth Ape King's body emitted a sudden dark yellow glow and, to Ye Feng's surprise, shrunk to the same height as him.

"Not bad, I didn't expect you could change your size at will!"

Ye Feng had not seen this ability in the creature's attribute list. Perhaps the Earth Ape King didn't consider it a main skill but rather an insignificant trick.

The main reason he went to the outskirts of Jiang City instead of going home after school today was to test his second talent, Cultivation Reciprocation.

After all, when using this talent, he was able to get the same amount of cultivation reciprocated regardless of how much he infused into the Imperial Beast, with a chance of triggering critical hits.

However, there was a cooldown period for this talent, allowing it to only be used once a week.

Ye Feng understood that without restrictions, he could potentially become the strongest being in the world.

Currently, both he and the Earth Ape King had reached the peak of their realms. He wanted to see, using this talent, if he could break through the Black Iron Realm and advance to the Bronze Realm.

At the same time, he wanted to see whether the Earth Ape King could be promoted to the Silver Realm.

The next moment, Ye Feng put his palm on the Earth Ape King's head and activated the talent.

In an instant, he felt the energy inside him rapidly drain and infuse into the Earth Ape King's body!

[Congratulations to the host for successfully infusing his nine-day cultivation into the Imperial Beast Earth Ape King, triggering five critical hits, and getting reciprocation for forty-five days of cultivation!]

The moment he used his talent, Ye Feng understood how to use it.

It turned out that the amount of cultivation he could infuse into the Imperial Beast was tied to his own cultivation level.

If his cultivation was at level one of the Black Iron Realm, he could only infuse one day's worth of cultivation into the Imperial Beast. If he was at level nine of the Black Iron Realm, he could infuse nine days' worth of cultivation.

Once he broke through the Black Iron Realm and advanced to the Bronze Realm, the number of days he could infuse into the Imperial Beast would increase.

When he triggered the five critical hits, he felt an immense force surge into his body.

At that moment, Ye Feng felt the bottleneck that had been restricting his improvement shatter under the impact of this force.

...

Meanwhile, in a dimly lit space, twelve high-backed armchairs were arranged in a circle around a large round table, with a figure seated in each chair.

"We are meeting more and more frequently lately!" a faint voice echoed from the seat at twelve o'clock.

"Yes, I'm not sure what's going on. Those demons are unusually active. Every time I leave, I'm afraid they'll take the opportunity to storm the frontier," a deep voice rang out from the chair at six o'clock.

"Old Wu's concern makes sense, let's attend to the agenda promptly, times have been tough!" the figure at three o'clock chimed in.

"Alright!" The figure at twelve o'clock began to preside over the meeting.

"Does anyone have any good news from the thirty-two main cities?"

"Xuanyuan City, two students awakened super talents, one is S-tier, the other is SS-tier!"

"Fuxi City, three students awakened super talents, one is S-tier, the other two are SS-tier!"

"Nuwa City, three students awakened super talents, two are S-tier, and one is SS-tier!"

...

Among the twelve figures present, four took turns speaking. The thirty-two main cities were arranged in four directions: east, south, west, and north, with eight cities in each direction.

Four of the main cities were located in the heartland of the Human Race.

A moment later, the voices dwindled, and the space plunged into silence. An invisible pressure hung heavy in the hearts of the twelve present.

"From a population of trillions in the Human Race, and thirty-two main cities with countless prodigies, there has been no birth of a God-tier talent for the third consecutive year!" The voice from the twelve o'clock direction rose again, this time, the others fell silent, offering no response.

There were only thirty-two main cities in the Human Race, thus, on the day of the Awakening Ceremony, they could immediately report any information. As for the thousands of base cities and hundreds of thousands of satellite cities, due to the large number, their information would be delayed.

But even if the information from these two levels of cities could be transmitted in real-time, in the hundred thousand years of the Human Race's history, the number of God-tier geniuses born from base cities could be counted on one hand.

As for the satellite cities, only one out of hundreds of thousands had produced a God-tier genius in the past hundred thousand years. That one satellite city had then been promoted to a base city.

This was their reason for ignoring the base cities and satellite cities, as the probability was miniscule, akin to finding a needle in a haystack.

"How am I supposed to justify this to our superiors? If this continues, our top-level inheritance within the Human Race will end!"

"Take a look at this!"

Sighing, the figure at twelve o'clock waved his arm and several lines of text appeared above the round table.

"Hiss!"

In an instant, the only sound in the room was the intake of breath.

"The Supreme Champion Competition? Has it really come to this?" a complicated voice slowly echoed.
