Talent Swallowing System

After 12 hours,

‘Ding,

The host’s talent [Mega Terra Bull Transformation] is upgraded to peak level 9.

‘Ding,

This special effect of the Supreme Innate Earth Elemental Fruit has failed.

12 hours after consuming the Supreme Innate Earth Elemental Fruit, Leo received a few system notifications that disappointed him.

Because the so-called special effect was none other than mutating the talent.

‘It looks like I have used up all my luck earlier.’

Leo shook his head and stopped thinking about the failed mutation; instead, he decided to check the upgrade requirements for the [Mega Terra Bull Tranformation].

Since the talent has reached peak level 9, the system would show the upgrade requirements, and upon completion of these upgrade requirements, Leo could safely promote his talents to the supreme grade.

‘Even if I complete the upgrade requirements, I can’t upgrade the talents to supreme rank; however, that doesn’t mean I have to wait until I complete the revenge.’

Leo remembered the words the system had left regarding his inner demon.

‘The moment I finish my revenge, I can directly upgrade as many talents as possible into the supreme class. So, isn’t it better to be ready by completing the upgrade requirements for the peak level 9 talents?’_-.

This was the thought in his mind as he checked the upgrade requirements.

‘Ding,

Please fulfil the following requirements to upgrade the [Mega Terra Bull Transformation] into a Supreme Class Talent.

1) One special upgrade stone or Three advanced upgrade stones.

2) Make at least one rank 9 or above-ranked follower from five different Bull Tribes (1/5).

‘…’

Leo was speechless for a moment, looking at the upgrade requirements before thinking, ‘If I want to upgrade a transformation-type into a supreme class talent, do I have to make my own followers from that race or tribe?’

His other talent [Heavenly Flaming Lion King Transformation] has similar upgrade requirements; however, it only requires him to have three lion followers from different lion tribes. This talent requires him to make five followers from different bull tribes.

‘I think these talents want me to make an army of the beast I can transform into.’

Leo smiled slightly before finding another important thing, ‘I need to start accumulating the advanced upgrade stones.’

Advanced upgrade stones are relatively easy to find compared to the special upgrade stone. Therefore, he decided to keep an eye for them.

‘Let’s merge some talents and skills.’

After keeping note of the upgrade requirements for his third peak level 9 talent, Leo decided to merge similar talents and skills.

‘Ding,

Wind Bomb + Fire Bomb = [Dual Elemental Bomb] (Fire and Wind).

‘Ding,

Acceleration + Speed Rush = [Advanced Acceleration].

.

.

.

.

Compared to his talents, Leo found there were many skills with similar effects, which made him easy to merge.

Leo continued to merge one skill after another.

Even though he failed to merge a couple of times and lost two skills in the whole process; however, Leo was not sad about it as both skills were below-average.

Moreover, he had enough skills to cover for them; what’s more, in the future, he would get even more.

‘Even though losing the skills or talents are not a big deal for me, I still need to be careful not to lose to the special and powerful normal talents like [Spatial Slash].’

Whenever there was a failure in the merging process, Leo would take a break of an hour or so and rest before resuming it.

‘I wonder whether I can merge two skills or talents that were already merged once or not?’

Leo didn’t know everything about the [Talent Merging Ability]; instead, he was learning more and more about it by repeatedly using that ability.

Hence, he decided to check whether it was possible or not to merge the already merged talents.

‘Merge the two [Dual Elemental Bomb]s.’

Without wasting any time, Leo chose to merge the two already merged skills.

Currently, Leo had two [Dual Elemental Bomb] skills; however, the two elements in the two skills were different.

In one skill, the two elements are Water and Earth, whereas, in the other skill, it is Fire and Wind.

‘Ding,

The host couldn’t merge two already merged skills or talents at the current level of the [Talent Merging Ability].

‘As I expected, I can’t upgrade them so easily.’

Leo was not disappointed; instead, he nodded with a satisfied look.

‘Now, it is time to farm for [Promote Points] and upgrade the [Poison Tempest] and [Earth Manipulation].’

After merging all the skills and talents he was confident in, Leo took half a day’s rest before walking out of the cave with some goal.

His main goals are:

1) Farm as many [Promote Points] as possible.

2) Upgrade [Poison Tempest] to level 9 by devouring the corpses.

Note: At level 8, he has to use the talent 100 times if he wants to upgrade it to level 9 using the [Absolute Devour].

3) Upgrade the talent [Earth Manipulaton] to peak level 9, which was less close to becoming one.

As for the other goals, he decided to focus on upgrading a level 7 special talent and a normal talent to level 9 by the traditional method without any help from [Talent Promoter] and [Absolute Devour].

Last but not least is to upgrade the newly merged skills to level 8 and then to peak level 9 to unlock their upgrade requirements.

“Time to farm.”

Soon, he sent Sutin back into the Beast Storage Device before starting his hunt in the wilderness of the Beastnet.

….

Time continued to pass, and in a flash, five days passed.

[Poison Tempest]

‘Swoosh’

A huge light green-coloured tornado formed in front of Leo as it swallowed hundreds of rank 9 and below-ranked beasts into it.

Even though the tornado was not very violent, the poison inside that tornado killed all the beasts as he received the system notifications regarding the killings.

‘Ding,

The System has finally finished its upgrade.

Suddenly, Leo received a system notification that made him momentarily stunned before making him reveal a slight on his cold face.

‘Finally, the upgrade is completed. Time to check for the changes and new things available in the system.’
