It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future

Chapter 1273 Activate, Duplication Talent!

No one could see the jealous and hateful look in Ren Feiyu’s eyes. It was just like before when the First Marshal only cared about Ling Xiao. The previous chief of the Flying Dragon Special Forces also saw Ling Xiao as the next in line to take his position. In the end, Ling Xiao didn’t want it, so the chief gave it to Ren Feiyu instead.

Everyone only had Ling Xiao in their eyes. Even if he performed well, even if they were praising him, these people would still add in the last few words at the end of their sentence, ‘Of course, it’s not comparable to Ling Xiao’s records.

He didn’t know when it started, but Ling Xiao became someone he mentally couldn’t surpass. If Ling Xiao was alive, he would feel suffocated every single day. 20 years ago, he finally managed to plot against Ling Xiao and ‘killed’ him. During those years, he was able to sleep at peace and climb to the position he wanted. However, Ling Xiao actually returned alive, and everyone’s gaze fell upon him once again. The First Marshal, who was planning on developing Ren Feiyu to be the next marshal, gazed upon Ling Xiao favorably again. If it wasn’t for the fact that he had done so much for the First Marshal, perhaps he would have been abandoned long ago.

Thus, Ling Xiao must die. This time, however, he was definitely going to see it for himself. In the end, he got what he wanted.

The news of Monarch Fury and Ling Xiao dying of mutual destruction was instantly known throughout the entire galaxy. Caesar was shocked. Twilight was terrified. The Federation was in sorrow. Many clans didn’t even dare to think about going against military orders and began moving out to attack Twilight. In a short amount of time, all the borders of the Twilight Empire became battlefields. Caesar, who Twilight put all their hopes in, slowly withdrew back to their own territory after losing Monarch Fury. They didn’t dare to make any further moves.

Without a profound god-class individual holding the fort, they must first find a way to resolve the conflict between them and the Federation. It should be known that the Federation still had another profound god-class individual. Even if his strength had deteriorated and that he wouldn’t be able to continue to live for many years, as long as he was alive, Caesar must bow their head down and regard themselves as servants to the Federation. They had to wait until that person passed on from this world before restarting their campaign.

Twilight, who was abandoned by Caesar, no longer had any allies to reinforce them. What awaited them was the destruction of their nation. Of course, they weren’t the only ones being destroyed. There was also their allied nation, the Aran Alliance. Just one Twilight Empire was not enough to quell the anger of the citizens and soldiers of the Federation. The Aran Alliance, who fought alongside the Twilight Empire, was the best target for letting out their anger.

Many soldiers and citizens actually wanted to start a war with Caesar. However, the three marshals and the military headquarters knew that the Federation only looked strong on the outside. In reality, they were just a paper tiger. The profound god-class individual, Supreme Dragon, could only be used as a deterrence. If he were to actually fight and activate his profound god state, he would probably reach his limit after the war and die. After thinking about all that, the three of them all regretted the arrangements they had made for Ling Xiao. Although Ling Xiao took Monarch Fury down with him, causing a huge blow towards Caesar, a living profound god-state individual was still more useful than a dead one.

It should be known that although Monarch Fury could fight, everyone knew he only had at most 20 to 30 years left to live. After 20 or so years, he would be like Supreme Dragon, who was retired and was basically waiting for Death to come. However, Ling Xiao was different. He was still so young. At least, for the next 150 years, he would be able to stay at his peak. If he preserved himself, it was possible for him to suppress the other nations for 200 years.

100 years was already multiple generations to grow, not to mention 200 years. This amount of time was enough for the Federation to increase both its political and military power, and stand above all nations. As the war progressed, more and more of the Twilight Empire’s planets were put under the Federation’s control. The victory was within their grasp. The few god-class operators who had participated in the battle all began to return home.

Ren Feiyu also used this chance to return silently. That was because his god-class operator level was not publicized, so he could only mix in with the other god-class operators.

“Chief, you’re back.” Right as Ren Feiyu returned to his quarters, his deputy had been there waiting for him.

“Wait outside. I need to go to the training room to make sense of something. Notify everyone to not disturb me,” ordered Ren Feiyu plainly.

“Yes, Chief,” said the deputy respectfully.

Ren Feiyu then went directly to the training room. He carefully closed the door of the room and also turned off the surveillance cameras at the same time. After knowing he was no longer being watched, he breathed a sigh of relief and sat crossed legged on one of the mats. action

“Duplication talent. The talent I have always dreamed of. It’s finally mine.” Ren Feiyu’s face was full of excitement. He used so much effort in order to acquire Ling Xiao’s innate talent. In the end, he had finally succeeded. However, he almost gave his identity away because of it. If it wasn’t for the fact he knew the First Marshal well, he might actually have been caught by that sly old fox.

Ren Feiyu used his spiritual power to softly push on the device in his mindscape.

“Would you like to activate the newly acquired talent?” said a robotic voice.

This thing was something he suddenly acquired when he was just a young boy. He didn’t know what it actually was. Back then, he only felt his head hurt after falling unconscious for a few days. He was clueless about what it was until one day, when he accidentally encountered someone who had just died, this device suddenly spoke up and asked whether he would like to record a newly found energy innate talent. He was curious about its function, so he said he needed it. Then, the device asked him whether he would like to activate it. After succumbing to his curiosity, he fell unconscious again. In the end, he was taken to his parents by the police. They all thought he fell unconscious out of fright after seeing a dead person. Only he knew the real reason why he fainted that day. From that day onwards, he acquired his first innate talent. It was a very useless talent. He had already forgotten what it was. It couldn’t be helped as he could only develop one innate talent at a time. Those who had two innate talents would never become commoners. Ren Feiyu, of course, wanted to continue to be a commoner in the eyes of the public as in doing so, he would attract less attention and less hatred. Thus, after acquiring a better innate talent, he would erase the previous innate talent, slowly growing stronger as time went

by

Ren Feiyu held back the feeling of euphoria coursing through his vein. He closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down. Although this device was very beneficial for him, it was still painful whenever he activated the innate talent. The pain coming from the activation of the innate talent couldn’t be avoided. If he wanted to perfectly use the newly acquired innate talent, his body must be modified to accommodate the innate talent. The pain was truly unbearable, it was as if every inch of your body was slowly peeled away. However, in order to become stronger, Ren Feiyu wasn’t afraid of some pain but still, calming himself down would allow him to endure more pain. He didn’t want to fall unconscious half way in just like he did in the ast.

Back then he didn’t know about the implications of falling consciousness, but after he did some research, he discovered that the results of activating the innate talents while awake was different from when he was unconscious. When he was awake, the quality of innate talent was higher and the innate talent was more likely to revert to its original state. Being unconscious would lower the quality of the innate talent, and at most he could only obtain half of what it originally was.

It was fine for other innate talents, but he couldn’t let Ling Xiao’s Duplication innate talent go to waste. Something he acquired from years of hard work must be reverted close to 100%.

After feeling he was ready, Ren Feiyu calmly said, “Activate!”

After saying those words, a terrifying yet familiar pain writhed throughout his body. Ren Feiyu couldn’t control himself and began to scream out in agony. His entire face was twisted as if he was being possessed.
