The Creatures That We Are-Chapter 1150: Help

Gao Yang continued to read the list.

—Citrus (Slow, Blood Fighter, Psychiatrist) gave her Talents to One Stone (Pharmacist, Seed of Resentment, Tracking, Condition).

Blood Fighter, serial number 107, Buff-type. It allowed the user to fight with their own blood. The offensive power was formidable, but the loss of blood could be fatal despite the enhanced rate of blood generation.

Psychiatrist, serial number 121, Psyche-type. It could treat mental illnesses, but also amplify and worsen them.

—Jiang Hao (Enchantment, Keen Smell, Decoding, Out-of-Body) gave his Talents to Dr. Jia (Genius, Memory Tailor, Blacksmith, God of Vehicles).

Decoding, serial number 160, Knowledge-type. It broke all types of codes and granted a talent for translating between different languages.

Out-of-Body, serial number 114, Life-type. It allowed the user’s soul to leave their body for a period of time and attack another’s soul; it was a dangerous act, however. A soul firmly lodged in a body would always be stronger than a detached soul.

God of Vehicles, serial number 162, Support-type. It granted mastery over all vehicles and a small buff to the user when driving.

—Quiet Book (Substitute, Plant) gave her Talents to Gao Xin (Magic, Judge).

Gao Yang felt a pang in his heart.

He didn’t want his uncle to join the fight. The man had suffered great damage after forcing the use of Judge, and he couldn’t use Judge again until the final battle on the Three Double-Hours of Heavenly Tribulation. There was a limit to what he could do.

However, Gao Yang understood how his uncle felt. Gao Xin couldn’t possibly do nothing when his nephew was marching into a fight.

As Gao Yang, he respected his uncle’s determination; as a leader, he must not allow his personal feelings to interfere with decision-making.

—Lin Fu (Talisman, Personality Kill, Strongman) gave his Talents to White Dew.

Strongman, serial number 116, Buff-type. As the name would suggest, it could make the Talent user unnaturally strong in the short term.

Gao Yang turned to Liao Liao. “Can an awakener give their Talents to a Spectre?”

Liao Liao shook her head with a smile. “No.”

“So it failed?” Qing Ling asked.

“Not fully.” Liao Liao smacked her lips. “Sister Xia said, and I quote, Lin Fu’s Talents were transferred to White Dew as complex energy. Although the energy is somewhat lessened, it did make White Dew stronger. There’s no telling whether the three Talents had returned to the Heavenly Way or inherited by White Dew in another form.”

“You were bold to try that,” Gao Yang said.

“White Dew asked for the Talents.” Liao Liao smiled wryly. “She said that since Spectres fed on awakeners’ energy, they should be able to accept energy, too. Even if an accident happened, she would welcome death, and Lin Fu agreed since he wasn’t at risk as the donator.”

Gao Yang didn’t comment on that.

—Cold Cicada (Longevity, Consciousness Exchange) gave his Talents to Heavenly Dog (Spatial Dissection, Fly, Requiem, Mute).

Consciousness Exchange, serial number 106, Psyche-type. It allowed the user to communicate with a target’s consciousness in an abstract manner, even swapping consciousness in a short time. Simply put, it would be akin to a body swap.

Cold Cicada had communicated with Heavenly Dog’s consciousness while in coma and made sure he was willing before asking Vermilion Bird to conduct the transfer.

That was the conclusion of the power concentration plan.

Gao Yang checked the remaining unclaimed Talents:

#2 Eidos, #4 Elemental, #5 Prophet, #7 Puppeteer, #12 House, #22 Detonate, #25 Frost, #33 God of Water, #39 Venom, #49 Mindreading, #50 Sweet Dream, #61 Seduction, #72 Mind’s Eye, #87 Plasticine, #88 Psychic Blessing, #91 Bone Growth, #96 Talisman (undetermined), #105 Animals, #110 NPC, #115 Gambler, #116 Strongman (undetermined), #117 Gourmet, #118 Chimera, #127 Personality Kill (undetermined), #134 Hypnosis, #136 Magic Tricks, #137 Simplify, #142 Actor, #145 Shooter’s Domain, #146 Empty Man, #148 Hunter, #152 Singer, #157 Theft, #161 Bullseye, #170 Golden Ratio, #186 Rules of Jianghu, #190 Cockroach, #192 Patient, #193 Buy Off, #194 Strong, #196 Firework.

“There are close to one-fifth of the Talents still unclaimed,” Gao Yang said with surprise.

Liao Liao nodded. “Yeah, even if some of them belong to yet undiscovered unaffiliated awakeners, that’s still too many. And several top and bottom twelve Talents are still not accounted for.”

She sighed. “The Battle of Curtain Call is in a week. Heavenly Way is probably too busy preparing for the Three Double-Hours of Heavenly Tribulation to oversee Talents allocation.”

Gao Yang fell into thought. He didn’t have enough Luck points to acquire another Talent. The information on this list was his hand of cards. He had to consider the allocation of people and strategies.

He looked up. “Qing Ling, I have to go back to Li City to prepare. I can’t spar with you anymore.”

“You can think about the strategy here,” Qing Ling said.

“There are many Talents I haven’t personally experienced before,” Gao Yang said. “I want to get to know them and do some experiments in order to make the final decisions.”

Qing Ling nodded. “Fine, but you have to find me another sparring partner. There’s still time for me to get stronger.”

Gao Yang smiled at Liao Liao. “Well, here she is.”

“ME?!” Liao Liao blanched in terror. “Wait, I’ll just be a punching bag. I won’t be a proper sparring partner.”

“Fight smartly.” Gao Yang turned to Nainai. “And don’t worry, the Empress will be helping you.”

“WHO?!” Nainai screamed. “This, this Empress has to spar with her, too?”

Gao Yang smiled at her. “Afraid so.”

Nainai slowly turned around and met Qing Ling’s icy gaze, jumping and hiding behind Gao Yang in fear. “No! No, this Empress has important matters to attend to. I can’t waste my time here...”

Gao Yang created a true double, who patted Nainai’s head and assured, “Don’t be afraid. The three of us will fight Qing Ling together. If we can’t win, I’ll call more people.”

“Good.” Satisfied, Qing Ling slowly rose to her feet and summoned her Tang Dao with a lift of her right hand. “Let’s get started.”

Liao Liao cried out, “Wait! Wait a minute! You’ve just eaten. Shouldn’t you let it digest first?”

“True.” Qing Ling nodded in agreement, casting aside her Tang Dao. “Then I’ll fight you with 30% of my power first.”

“That’s how you’re doing it?!” Liao Liao whirled around and begged Gao Yang, “Captain Gao, why don’t we have someone else spar with her? I’ll be better at strategizing. Allow me to shoulder the burden with you...”

“I’ll need help from you,” Gao Yang said. “Once I have the initial plan in three days, I’ll come pick you up.”

“What? Three days?” Liao Liao pulled at her hair. She had to stay in the middle of nowhere getting beaten up by this volatile woman for three days?!

“Thank you for your hard work in advance,” Gao Yang said with a smile.

“No, don’t leave me behind! Captain, Captain! Take me with you, Captain!” Liao Liao pleaded, ready to rush up to Gao Yang and cling to his thigh.

“Take-take this Empress too—” Nainai dashed toward Gao Yang, only to be stopped by his double.

Gao Yang grabbed a plate of pigeon meat and vanished with Spatial Jump.

“Help! SOS!”

“We’re dead! We’re getting killed!!”

Desperate screams echoed at the heart of the desert.
