Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 331 Grafting Talent
Upon witnessing this scene, the members of the Mu clan turned deathly pale, their bodies trembling violently. The image of Mu Dao's gruesome death still lingered in their minds; the sight of flesh and blood flying everywhere was like the most vicious curse, exploding in everyone's hearts.

To die so suddenly in broad daylight, and so tragically at that.

In their eyes, Mo Fan was as terrifying as a devil.

"It's your turn." Mo Fan walked towards the remaining members of the Mu clan.

Mo Fan is not a bloodthirsty demon, and the Mu family cannot be killed off in a short time.

They have branches and collateral branches in almost every city, and many members of the Mu clan have long been established in various places.

There are good people and bad people among them, just like Mu Ningxue's lineage, so killing them all is absolutely unrealistic and irrational.

All we need to do is deal with those who harbor great malice towards Mu Ningxue, and then give the rest a little punishment.

In the time that followed, shouts echoed continuously outside the Shanghai Tribunal.

Jiang Yuan had anticipated the punishment Mo Fan would receive.

In the original timeline, Mo Fan established Fanxue Mountain, and Mu Ningxue had long since severed ties with the Mu Clan.

But things are different now. Mu Ningxue is still a member of the Mu clan. After all, not everyone opposes her possession of the Ice Crystal Bow.

Only the Mu Feiluan and Mu Yinfeng lineages strongly opposed it.

Now things are much better. Apart from Luanfeng and the other two, everyone else from these two branches has completely disappeared from the Mu clan. The remaining members are Mu clan members who support Mu Ningxue and remain neutral.

Of course, they no longer dare to remain neutral.

With just a little effort and preparation, Mu Ningxue could perfectly take control of the Mu clan and become its patriarch.

"Finally finished. I didn't expect it to be such a physically demanding job. You should do it yourself next time." Mo Fan wiped the sweat from his forehead and jogged over to Jiang Yuan's side.

Behind him, a majestic and holy dragon was dragging Mu Feiluan and Mu Yinfeng with its claws.

The dragon's scales shimmered in the sunlight, and each step it took caused the ground to tremble slightly. The two people it was dragging along had long lost their previous arrogance; their hair was disheveled, their clothes were tattered, and they looked utterly wretched.

“You asked for it yourself, and now you’re saying you’re tired. I won’t invite you next time there’s something like this,” Jiang Yuan said.

"A good thing? I guess it's a good thing, but since it's so tiring, I might as well do a few more bounty missions and earn some extra money."

“Alright, but don’t forget you still owe me money.” Jiang Yuan nodded, then looked at Luan Feng and the other woman: “Bring them in front of me.”

Upon hearing that he owed money, Mo Fan's face immediately fell, looking like a bitter gourd.

He was always broke. Every time he managed to earn some money, he would either use it to buy delicious food for Xiao Yanji or invest it in his magic training. But money was like water, and he could never have enough.

These days, why is it so hard to become a rich magician?
Mo Fan, with a bitter face, commanded the sacred dragon to pin Mu Feiluan and Mu Yinfeng to the ground: "These two are the most arrogant people in the Mu family. I was planning to let them die in the same way as Mu Dao. What are you trying to do by keeping them here?"

“Their talents are very suitable for Mu Ningxue, and I plan to graft both of their talents onto her,” Jiang Yuan said.

"Talent can be grafted? I've never heard of that before!" Mo Fan perked up.

“There are many things you haven’t heard of,” Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

"Talent can indeed be grafted."

Dean Xiao, who was standing to the side, explained: "The Mu family once produced a prodigy who devoted his life to studying all sorts of strange and unusual techniques. Among them was a secret technique that could transfer one person's talent to another. However, this technique is one of the Mu family's most closely guarded secrets, and very few people in the world know about it."

"What grafting? It sounds so nice, but it's clearly plunder!" Mu Ningxue, standing to the side, couldn't help but frown as she heard this.

“You’re right, it is indeed plunder.” Jiang Yuan nodded frankly. “Once this secret technique is successfully executed, the person whose talent has been plundered will not survive.”

"Let those two die, there's nothing to regret. Let my Xuexue's talent become even stronger, as atonement for what they did in the past," Mo Fan said.

Every word of their conversation reached Mu Feiluan and Mu Yinfeng's ears. The two, who had already resigned themselves to their fate and collapsed to the ground, suddenly jolted and began to struggle violently.

But under the giant claws of the sacred dragon, they were like two chicks waiting to be slaughtered, pinned to the ground. They couldn't even lift their heads, let alone escape. With the slightest pressure from the dragon's claws, the two grimaced in pain and could only whimper in agony.

"This is my talent! It's something I was born with! You butchers and robbers, you'll be punished for doing this!"

"Please, I'm willing to do anything, just don't take away my talent!"

One person was angry, while the other was pleading—completely different reactions.

"Back then, when you used your talents to swagger around in the family, constantly bullying Xuexue, and even had people disregard her life and safety to forcibly take away the Ice Crystal Bow, did you ever think that this day would come?" Mo Fan looked at their ugly behavior, sneered, and spoke with a tone full of sarcasm.

"I know I was wrong. I'm willing to do anything, as long as you don't take away my talent and let me live. I really am willing to do anything! A slave, I'll be a slave to you!" Mu Yinfeng shouted.

"Someone like you wants to be a slave?" Mo Fan took a step back in disgust, as if even looking at her was bad luck. "You're not even as good-looking as the old sow in the next village. Oh, no, that sounds like an insult to the old sow, I apologize."

After he finished speaking, he turned to Jiang Yuan and said, "Let's get started. These two are giving me a headache. They're so loud."

"Okay, let's start now."

Jiang Yuan gestured for Mu Ningxue to come closer, then reached out and touched Mu Feiluan and Mu Yinfeng's foreheads in the air.

An ice crystal barrier enveloped the two, Luan and Feng.

Immediately afterwards, a rope made of white mist slowly emerged from the barrier, one end connected to Luan and Feng, and the other end gently resting on Mu Ningxue's wrist, wriggling slightly as if it were alive.

The secret technique of plundering talent is not complicated. The most crucial point is to tear it off from the body and soul. Unless one has an extremely strong self-healing ability, such forced extraction will definitely result in death.

Neither Luan nor Feng possessed such self-healing abilities.

After Jiang Yuan plundered his talent, his life force rapidly declined until it disappeared, and his soul was taken to the underworld by the power of Mingyue.

After receiving the talents of the two, Mu Ningxue's aura rose rapidly. Although her magical cultivation did not improve, her strength increased several times over.
