Chapter 1032 The Third Talent, Primal Instinct

On Lu Li's personal menu panel, there is now a third talent slot.

[Talent: Primal Instinct]

Talent rating: SSS level (E- to SSS+)

Talent Details: Your deep-seated primal instincts can now be fully activated, granting different buffs depending on the situation in combat.

Talent Skill 1. Perfect Choice (Passive): In battle, your primal instincts will guide you to make the best judgments, choosing the optimal path in every confrontation and leading you to the best battle situation.

Talent Skill 2. Primal Power (Passive): Pioneers will find it easier to channel their primal power in battle, including but not limited to the release of true spirit power and the burst of bloodline potential. If a Pioneer falls into a certain extreme emotion, such as extreme anger, extreme sadness, or extreme joy, this passive bonus will be greatly increased.

The specific bonuses from Primal Power depend on the situation; pioneers are encouraged to explore them on their own.

Talent assessment: People's physical constitutions cannot be generalized.

Lu Li examined his new talent. As the last talent he obtained, the rare third talent in the space, Primal Instinct was rated SSS, the highest among his three talents.

The effect is quite powerful and also quite intuitive.

The perfect choice of the first talent skill corresponds to the "Free and Unfettered Skill" he created. The arrangement of talent awakening tasks by the space is generally guiding. What kind of "Free and Unfettered Skill" Lu Li can ultimately develop corresponds to one of his talent abilities.

The ability to make perfect choices sounds simple, but its effect in battle is quite outrageous. After he activated the "Free and Unfettered Skill," the High Priest, who could have completely overwhelmed him in terms of combat skills, gradually became ineffective.

That wasn't the result of a single confrontation, but rather the result of numerous exchanges and choices; his judgment gradually drove the High Priest into a desperate situation.

If we're talking purely about their combat expertise, Lu Li felt that his peak performance was almost on par with the High Priest's, but in the end, he won and the High Priest lost.

This demonstrates the importance of making the perfect choice in top-level matches; it can be the key factor in determining victory when the stats and skills are roughly equal.

Thinking about it carefully, Lu Li should have known what the third talent was like long ago. Therefore, from childhood to adulthood, he has had a natural and excellent instinct for making judgments in battle.

For example, back when he first entered the End Space, in the Bleach world, during his graduation exam, he fought against Unohana-sensei. In terms of swordsmanship expertise, Unohana-sensei's swordsmanship expertise was definitely far superior to his, and in terms of raw stats, Unohana-sensei was definitely more solid.

But in the end, he had the upper hand, mainly because his instinctive talent allowed him to make many excellent combat decisions. Some of his moves seemed absurd and unorthodox, but they were able to steer the battle in a favorable direction.

In this way, he narrowly defeated Ms. Unohana by half a move in the final round, thus successfully graduating.

There are many similar situations. Sometimes it's not that his combat expertise is higher than his opponent's, but in tense life-or-death battles, he always wins in the end.

Just as Mr. Yamamoto once commented on him, he has an excellent ability to make judgments. This ability is instinctive and does not require conscious thought, so it is difficult to train later in life.

Extensive combat experience can enhance a person's judgment in battle, but it may be disadvantageous when facing a type of enemy never encountered before.

Lu Li wasn't too bound by these rules; even when he encountered a new type of enemy for the first time, he could always make a good judgment.

Therefore, talent is often manifested in many ways before it is truly awakened on the character panel.

Another passive ability in his primal instincts can explain his outburst during his final battle with the High Priest.

In fact, extracting power from the true spirit is a very high-level ability. According to the High Priest, only the Dragon God in this world can do it, and even he and the Omni-King cannot.

That's why when Lu Li and Aizen unleashed their true spiritual power together to defeat the Grand Priest, the Grand Priest found it quite absurd.

There are many reasons for this. On the one hand, Lu Li had studied Zamasu's split for a long time and had already gained an understanding of the power of the True Spirit and had also discerned some of the truths.

In addition, Lu Li was in a state of fusion at the time, and he was a part of Lu Ran, so Lu Ran also had his talent. Under those circumstances, his talent and Aizen's talent were actually shared.

Therefore, if Lu Ran can do what Lu Li can do, then Lan Ran can also do what Lu Ran can do in that state.

Through their interconnectedness, he and Aizen were influenced by their primal instincts and talents, and both unearthed the power within their true spirits.

Furthermore, the description of his talent states that his extreme personal emotions will amplify the effect of this talent. Whether it is anger, sadness, joy, or exhilaration, they can all amplify his primal instincts.

At that time, Lu Ran's emotions were absolutely sufficient, and thus she gained great power.

This was because Lu Ran had just completed the "Free and Unfettered Skill" and received the talent reward, so he couldn't fully develop the talent and its power was limited.

In fact, if you dig deeper, besides the power of the true spirit and the potential in the bloodline, there are other unknown powers that will be affected by this talent.

Unknown territories are difficult to explore, but the potential within one's bloodline is something Lu Li believes is easy to uncover.

For example, the power hidden within the bloodline of the Transcendent One that he obtained can be released in this way.

"Lord Lu Li, my energy in the outside world is almost exhausted. Should I go to the Third Universe to replenish it?"

At this moment, Zamas approached Lu Li with utmost respect, speaking cautiously.

Lu Li opened his eyes, withdrawing his attention from his talent research. "You've been doing well lately, so you can leave the subspace. Be mindful to split off a new Zamasu to refuel. Apart from that, your main body can live in the third universe."

Lu Li's words startled Zamas, who immediately knelt on the ground. Some unpleasant memories reminded him that this might be a test, and if he got carried away, he might face even more terrifying punishment.

"Lord Lu Li, I have absolutely no intention of escaping from the subspace!"

"Zamas said, trembling."

Lu Li was somewhat helpless, thinking to himself that this child really overreacted. He had just given a very ordinary suggestion. "Get up. This is also my order. Do you want to disobey my order?"

"No... I wouldn't dare." Zamasu immediately stood up.

"I'm sending you to stay by the side of Aizen Sousuke, the Supreme Kai candidate of Universe 3. As long as you obey him, you can be spared eight thousand years of torment. Of course, if you dare to hurt anyone outside, you should know what the consequences will be."

Lu Li spoke calmly, as he needed to focus on his cultivation and had no time to punish Zamasu.

Moreover, Zamasu has already paid a heavy price, and now, by providing biofuel to power Inzan's shielding device, he is indirectly contributing to the protection of the universe.

Considering the merits and demerits, Lu Li felt there was no need to keep tormenting Zamasu; being consumed as energy was already a punishment in itself.

"Lord Lu Li, please rest assured, Zamasu would never dare to have any disloyal thoughts. He will definitely listen to Lord Aizen's words and contribute to the protection of the universe."

Zamasu said tremblingly.

Lu Li nodded. "If that's the case, then let's go."

Then the subspace portal beside him opened, and Zamasu hesitated for a couple of seconds before going out to find Aizen.

After Zamasu left, the warp fell silent, plunging into absolute stillness.

Lu Li and Aizen have 20 years left to stay in this world. This is the time calculation method of the space relative to the main world, not their personal perceived flow rate. Therefore, if they stay in the subspace, they can have a maximum of 8000 years of cultivation time.

This timeframe may seem long, but it is actually quite short for explorers at this stage.

Lu Li had heard his grumpy older sister say that she had once cultivated in a great world, where she would go into seclusion for 100,000 years at a time, and that such seclusion was a common phenomenon in that world.

Normal cultivation is this tedious; only those who can endure it and have a steadfast heart can reach the pinnacle of the Great Dao.

The idea of ​​retreating into seclusion for spiritual practice sounds simple, but very few people can actually do it because the vast majority of people in this world cannot achieve one thing: tranquility of mind.

Those who can sit in seclusion until death are all outstanding individuals who can calm their minds, endure loneliness, and immerse themselves in the profound mysteries of the Great Dao.

Lu Li asked Aizen if he wanted to come to the subspace together. Aizen said that he needed to take care of some things in the third universe first. After everything was arranged, he would bring a lot of scientific research equipment to the subspace to continue his research.

Aizen wasn't a non-training individual. In fact, from the moment Riku first met Sosuke, he knew that the other was a "magic king," the kind of ruthless person who would sit on his bed in his dormitory in the middle of the night and gather spiritual energy.

However, Aizen now seems to have neglected his training compared to Lu Li. This is mainly because Aizen had already realized that if he simply trained with Lu Li, he would fall further and further behind. If he didn't think of any other way, it would become a high-risk matter for him to follow Lu Li into the world.

In terms of cultivation talent alone, Aizen is already quite remarkable, but compared to Lu Li, he is far behind. He must rely on his own intellect and find another way to catch up.

Of course, Aizen's decision to pursue this path was not out of helplessness or a sense of urgency. He was a proud man, and his choice of this path could be said to be his own intention.

Because he is not bound by the way of acquiring power. Just like when he studied the Hogyoku, if he believed that there was a limit to being a Shinigami, then he would not become a Shinigami. If he believed that there was a limit to the power that could be obtained through normal training, then he would find another way.

Aizen once told Lu Li that the forms of power are ever-changing and have no distinction between noble and lowly; the key is how to use power.

Some people gain power through external means but remain weak, while others gain power and can truly become very strong; it all depends on whether that person has the ability to use that power.

Aizen believed that he possessed the ability to wield power, but he lacked a way to quickly acquire it.

Seeing Zamasu leave, Lu Li began to focus on studying his own power.

First, his aura gradually rose, like a natural growth process, and his final attribute value settled at 270 points.

After activating the Divine Forbidden State, Lu Li stabilized his power, sat cross-legged, and the Martial Scripture circulated on its own. At the same time, the sound of chanting sutras continued around him. He was using the Martial Furnace to deduce a higher realm.

Lu Li is not lacking in vitality and lifespan now. In the previous battle with the High Priest, because he was in a state of fusion, the Demon Moon's enhancement attribute did not inherit the Demon Priest's, so he did not absorb the High Priest's lifespan.

However, Lu Li's Primordial Spirit Seed is now fully mature and can produce longevity substances on its own, so his lifespan is endless. As long as he doesn't over-analyze and exhaust himself, he will not experience a lack of lifespan.

Similarly, since he has already achieved complete immortality through the Primordial Spirit Seed, it doesn't matter if he squanders time in the subspace, since he has plenty of time now.

In the blink of an eye, 50 years have passed in the subspace.

The chanting around Lu Li gradually subsided. Through the fusion of the original moves, he created many new martial arts techniques, making the Martial Arts Bible even more extraordinary.

At the same time, even if he doesn't focus on the divine forbidden state now, he won't withdraw from it. It should be said that his complete permanent state has ultimately transformed into allowing these attributes to be completely incorporated into himself. Now, Lu Li's basic attributes have become 270 points.

Fifty years have passed in the subspace, but only a little over a month has passed in the outside world. Lu Li did not act as an incompetent teacher.

Although his main body went into seclusion, his clones remained on Earth, occasionally teaching Vegeta, Gohan, and the others how to improve, so the progress of these main characters on Earth never stopped.

The reason it's described as occasional instruction is that Lu Li's shadow clones don't teach everyone every day; most of the time they're running around for Aizen, collecting research materials that Aizen needs.

He only steps in to give Vegeta and the others some pointers at crucial moments; otherwise, Beerus and Whis are the ones doing most of the work.

At this moment, Lu Li's main body withdrew from the enlightenment state in the subspace, opened the door to the subspace, sensed the details of his shadow clone, and discovered some things that surprised him.

His shadow clones are busy traveling throughout the universe, collecting rare materials in various parts of the twelve universes, and thus appearing before many civilizations.

Because he saved the twelve universes during the great upheaval, many civilizations now regard him as a martial saint and revere him as a savior.

As a result, a large amount of faith power gathered and concentrated on Lu Li's shadow clone. Lu Li discovered that the strength of his shadow clone was inexplicably much higher than before.

It's like illusory matter gradually solidifying.
