I possess boundless talent; even geniuses are no match for me.

......

"You want to play a second match with me?"

Chen Yu approached Wang Qianjun, looking surprised.

He fought Wang Qianjun in order to replicate his talent, and unsurprisingly, he replicated the [Martial Arts Grade B Root Bone].

Unexpectedly, Wang Qianjun himself was dissatisfied.

"What, this martial arts fanatic is war-weary?" Wang Qianjun pulled a wooden sword from the armory and threw it at Chen Yu.

At the same time, he pulled out a wooden gun, shook it a few times, and seemed dissatisfied.

Following yesterday's battle, the news that Chen Yu is a martial arts fanatic has spread throughout the martial arts class.

Even though he was unconscious, he still had a satisfied smile on his face after the battle. What else could he be but a martial arts fanatic!

"A martial arts fanatic... naturally fears no battle." Chen Yu reached out with his right hand, precisely intercepting the hilt of the sword, then grinned and said:

"Fight, the more the better!"

He knew that the image of a martial arts fanatic he had deliberately cultivated was beginning to have some effect.

Next, just keep at it.

The standoff between the two naturally attracted the attention of the other students in the martial arts class.

"It's Chen Yu again. This guy is a martial arts fanatic. He just lost yesterday, and today he's stuck to Wang Qianjun again, like a leech."

"Ugh, I think he's just shameless. He's already lost once, yet he still has the nerve to challenge Wang Qianjun to a duel. Doesn't he feel ashamed?"

"With such a large gap in strength, the outcome is completely predictable, it's pointless."

He could hear hushed conversations around him, most of them mocking Chen Yu for overestimating his abilities.

But he didn't care at all.

What good is saving face!

Bang!

With one step, the ten-meter distance is almost covered in a blink of an eye.

Chen Yu chose to take the initiative and unleashed his fully mastered Thunder Blade, swift as lightning, towards the calm-looking Wang Qianjun.

"Phew~"

Wang Qianjun was not to be outdone, wielding his spear with wide, sweeping movements, displaying astonishing power.

Breaking Army Spear Technique!

As soon as they exchanged blows, Chen Yu sensed something was wrong. He suddenly looked up and stared into Wang Qianjun's eyes.

"This guy... he's deliberately suppressing his strength and speed, maintaining a level not much different from mine."

"You want to compete with me in pure martial arts skills?!"

Chen Yu instantly saw through Wang Qianjun's thoughts.

Wang Qianjun didn't hide anything, and said in a low voice, "I know your swordsmanship is quite good from yesterday's battle."

"Today I'll see whether your knife is faster or my gun is more lethal!"

Although Wang Qianjun appeared calm on the surface after yesterday's battle, his mind was in turmoil.

Despite his skill, even without being serious, he failed to take down Chen Yu with a single shot and was instead blocked by him.

Given Wang Qianjun's pride, he was naturally somewhat uncomfortable!

He considers himself a strongman, not only because of his strong martial arts realm, but also because of his strong martial arts skills!

That's why we're in this situation today!

He defeated Chen Yu with pure martial arts skills, proving that he could win, not just by relying on his martial arts level!

Only in this way can one's thoughts be clear!

"Then let's give it a try!"

A glint flashed in Chen Yu's eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of fighting spirit.

If it were a matter of realm suppression, the difference in strength and speed would be like an insurmountable chasm, and he would naturally be no match for Wang Qianjun.

But what about martial arts skills?

The talent of a master swordsman is not just about accelerating the learning of sword techniques!

His grasp of combat is even more astonishing!

In an instant, the wooden gun and the wooden sword clashed wildly, and the dull sound made the onlookers shudder.

Now that things have come to this, how could they not see that Wang Qianjun intends to defeat Chen Yu using only his martial arts skills!

What shocked them even more was that Chen Yu showed no signs of weakness whatsoever!

Bang!

"Chen Yu is indeed quite something!" After several exchanges, Wang Qianjun no longer harbored any illusions.

His Broken Army Spear technique had reached the level of mastery, while Chen Yu's Thunder Extreme Blade technique was only at the level of mastery. Logically speaking, Chen Yu was no match for him.

However, Chen Yu had an extremely accurate eye for timing, always striking before Chen Yu had finished exerting his strength.

He was forced to use only seven-tenths of his strength, making the fight extremely difficult.

"We can't delay any longer; we must finish him off in one fell swoop."

The next moment, Wang Qianjun took a step back, gripped the wooden spear tightly with both arms, and thrust it forward suddenly!

"Breaking Army - Piercing the Sun!"

Wang Qianjun's low shout rang out.

His figure shot out like an arrow released from a bow!

The wooden spear transformed into a streak of dark light that tore through the air, its tip gleaming with a resolute determination to fight to the death, and pierced straight into Chen Yu's chest!

"I've been waiting for you!"

Chen Yu's heart skipped a beat; he knew his chance had come.

Although he could discern the flow of power, Wang Qianjun was no weakling either; he left himself an escape route with every shot, making him difficult to defeat.

But now that the ultimate move has been made, there is no way to retreat!

Weaknesses are also magnified to the maximum!

The next moment, Chen Yu moved!

His movements were minimal, yet as swift as lightning.

The power concentrated at a single point, propelling the Thunder Blade at an incredible angle, achieving a strike that arrived before Wang Qianjun's waist and hips.

"laugh--!"

Time seemed to stand still.

Wang Qianjun felt a sharp pain in his waist and abdomen, and involuntarily leaned to the side, the tip of the spear grazing past Chen Yu's armpit.

Looking at the wooden knife at his waist, Wang Qianjun showed a hint of surprise.

After a moment of silence, he dropped the wooden gun in his hand and said with a helpless, bitter smile:

"I lost."

"You have never been defeated by me." Chen Yu slowly sheathed his sword, feeling extremely positive about Wang Qianjun. "Whether it's luck, wisdom, or realm... all of these are part of strength."

"If you break through your own limitations and reach the eighth level of Body Tempering, I will definitely not be your match."

"That's your standard," Wang Qianjun shook his head. "I have my own standards."

"Whatever you say." Chen Yu said no more.

Everyone has their own way of fighting, and who can say for sure which one is better?

Meanwhile, the many martial arts students watching fell silent, exchanging no words.

"Wang Qianjun actually lost!"

"Even though he actively suppressed his cultivation level, Wang Qianjun actually lost to Chen Yu. Am I dreaming?"

Even with the facts right in front of them, people still found it hard to imagine.

Just a few days ago, Chen Yu was at the bottom of the martial arts class, but now he has surpassed Wang Qianjun, a famous martial arts genius, in martial arts skills!

"This kid! His swordsmanship! The more I look at him, the more he resembles me when I was young!" Fang Xiong watched the entire battle from beginning to end.

He could actually see traces of his own youth in Chen Yu's swordsmanship.

This made him even more satisfied with Chen Yu!

"Tsk, it feels like God deliberately sent him to inherit my mantle!" Fang Xiong sighed with great emotion.

Unfortunately, he is not interested in taking on apprentices at the moment, nor does he really want to.

Even though he was extremely satisfied with Chen Yu, and the more he looked at him, the more he resembled his younger self, Fang Xiong had no intention of taking this step.

After all, being his apprentice is not a good thing.

......

After defeating Wang Qianjun, Chen Yu could clearly feel that the way people looked at him had completely changed.

The previous contempt and hostility have all vanished, replaced by fear and respect.

Even though his martial arts realm is still at the third level of the Body Tempering Realm.

"So it seems that a person can only replicate their talent once."

After his battle with Wang Qianjun, Chen Yu confirmed this.

At the same time, he took this opportunity to invite the martial arts class to spar, which solidified his "martial arts maniac" persona and also confirmed the second point.

"Most people are ordinary; not everyone has the talent to replicate."

"Or rather, when one of my talents is strong enough, talents that are similar to those of ordinary people are no longer considered talents to me."

Aside from Wang Qianjun, he fought against a total of fifteen people, but only managed to copy two talents:

[Kidney Strengthening (White)]: Purifies the blood, invigorates qi and blood, and makes one feel energetic.

【Exceptional Swordsmanship (White)】: Swordsmanship comprehension is increased three times that of ordinary people.

The effects of the white-quality talent were quite noticeable. The [Kidney Strengthening] skill made Chen Yu feel much more energetic, and even his concentration improved significantly.

As for [Outstanding Swordsmanship], it is a white-quality talent, above gray-quality, and its effect is quite simple.

Chen Yu summarized his two discoveries and named them the two major principles of talent replication:

First, a person can only copy a talent once, and it is very random, so it is not guaranteed that the best talent can be copied.

Second, not everyone is gifted; most people are of average talent and have no talent that can be replicated.

"It seems that accurately identifying martial arts geniuses is more cost-effective."

"However, even ordinary talents are always better; they're free, and better than nothing."

Chen Yu laid the basic framework for his grand plan to replicate his talent.

Top geniuses are the main focus, with ordinary geniuses as a supplement.

We must do both!

......

After school, Chen Yu did not linger at the school.

As I was mentally simulating the training of the Thunder Blade, a burst of lively firecracker sounds suddenly came from the roadside.

Chen Yu looked up slightly towards the source of the sound and found that a martial arts school was holding an opening ceremony, which was very festive.

"Hey, a martial arts gym!"

"How could I have forgotten about that!"

Chen Yu's eyes lit up, and he immediately had a plan in mind.
