"What kind of talent is this?"

Jiang Yuan stared intently at the document, and the information about the sighs of life appeared in his mind.

"Primary Talent - Sigh of Life: All beings are equal. Compassion for life will eventually be echoed by the world. It damages/heals the target for 1% of their health (cannot break the Oracle effect). It can only be used once per target per day."

After reviewing the information on the Sigh of Life, Jiang Yuan also noticed that this talent could not be directly replaced; it required a special understanding of life.

"All beings are equal. Damage or healing to the target accounts for one percent of their health!"

Jiang Yuan repeated it to himself several times. He roughly understood the ability of Life's Sigh. Clearly, it was a percentage-based talent. Whether facing enemies at the Void Spirit Realm or the Heavenly Spirit Realm, using Life's Sigh would inevitably cause him to lose one percent of his health. Conversely, healing would also be affected.

"One percent, isn't that a bit too little?"

If the intermediate talent data hasn't changed either, then it's completely useless. Take healing for example, wouldn't it take a hundred days to fully heal all the injuries? If healing is so useless, then let alone damage. You're only losing one percent of the opponent's health per day, which is a typical case of health loss not being as fast as health recovery.

Jiang Yuan checked the potential value of Life's Sigh again, and only felt relieved after confirming that the skill could reach the level of a super talent. As for the specific level, it was still unknown.

"upgrade!"

Jiang Yuan didn't hesitate any longer. It was already difficult to get a good talent randomly, so no matter how harsh the conditions for using it were, he would upgrade Life Sigh to a high-level talent first.

A thousand Marks of the Dead upgrade Life's Lament to an intermediate talent, increasing its value to five percent and reducing its cooldown by four hours.

Then, with another ten thousand Marks of the Dead, Life's Sigh was upgraded to the level of an advanced talent. At this moment, the damage or healing it could do had increased to ten percent, and the cooldown had also been reduced to sixteen hours.

When Life's Sigh stabilized at the advanced talent level, Jiang Yuan also saw its specific potential; it was a superior super talent.

A superior talent means that this talent is definitely among the best in the same level.

"Let's see if I can learn it!" Jiang Yuan wrote down the template for the sigh of life and then prepared to replace it himself.

To be honest, a talent that can deal 10% damage or healing is very rare, and if it's available, he wouldn't mind having another one like that.

However, when he tried to change his talent, Death's Hand refused to do so.

"The host's demonic intent is too strong and his killing intent too heavy, making it impossible to meet the requirements of the Sigh of Life!"

Hearing the explanation from the Hand of Death, Jiang Yuan was speechless. He muttered, "Isn't this just a waste of tens of thousands of Deadly Marks!"

Just then, Gu Anlei walked in from the main cabin carrying a bunch of things, saying as she went, "This loot is too messy. I'll just have to give you some cores and spirit cores first, the rest..."

"Never mind that for now!" Jiang Yuan struggled to climb out of the recovery chamber, then began to use the Grim Reaper's Hand on Gu Anlei, reminding her, "I'll show you something; I'm going to test your compatibility with it!"

Gu Anlei is a doctor. Although she doesn't usually do good deeds, compared to a bloodthirsty devil like Jiang Yuan, she is as kind as a lamb. If she can't use the Sigh of Life either, then he will have to give up on his plan to upgrade her to a super talent.

"What's all the mystery about?"

Gu Anlei shrank back. Although Jiang Yuan didn't touch her, she subconsciously felt that an invisible hand was gripping her very core, making it hard for her to breathe.

Jiang Yuan remained silent until his talent was confirmed, at which point a strange look appeared in his eyes as he looked at Gu Anlei.

"What do you want to try? Hurry up and try it! Why are you staring at me like that?" Gu Anlei asked, puzzled.

Jiang Yuan smiled faintly, "I've already tried it!"

"What? It's over before I even realized it!" Gu Anlei pouted, then took out several storage rings from her palm and said, "According to the old rules, the spoils are split 30/70. The total energy consumption of the aerial warship is 360 million Holy Spirit Crystals, so I've already deducted that amount. This is all yours!"

Several storage rings were placed in Jiang Yuan's hands; Gu Anlei had no intention of keeping them for herself. Besides, even if she did, she wouldn't actually gain much, because Jiang Yuan's airship consumed far too much energy—it would be more about spending than earning.

"Do you remember what I told you before?" Jiang Yuan took the storage ring and examined it carefully in his hand.

"Work for you, and then help me improve my talent level?" Gu Anlei remembered that Jiang Yuan had made a request before.

"That's right!"

Jiang Yuan nodded.

“Sure!” Gu Anlei readily agreed, but then added, “However, let me make it clear beforehand that I will not betray the country, nor will I do anything that tramples on dignity.”

"We've been through thick and thin together, can't you trust me a little?" Jiang Yuan was speechless upon hearing this; she was treating him like a bad guy.

"Trust is trust, and a promise is a promise; the two should not be confused!" Gu Anlei pouted.

"Alright, alright, I can guarantee that!" Everything Jiang Yuan asked her to do was entirely beneficial. The only risk was going to be an undercover agent by the Emperor's side, but this was both a risk and an opportunity, something many people would love to do.

"That's not very sincere!"

Gu Anlei clicked her tongue twice, then after thinking hard, she stretched out her hand and said, "Come on, pinky promise!"

"You're not a kid anymore, stop playing childish games!"
