Talent Swallowing Hero

‘Ding,

Congratulations to the host for becoming a Starlight cultivator.

As soon as those tiny light dots entered his body, Leo received the system notification that pleasantly surprised him.

‘I became a cultivator just like that?’

Leo didn’t do much besides reading a few words and enduring the pain from beginning to the end.

So, he was surprised that he easily became a ‘Starlight Cultivator’.

‘Ding,

When it comes to cultivation, as long as someone can endure the pain, they are bound to achieve big things.

Whether the system said it casually or seriously, Leo could not tell; however, before he could think about it, he received another system notification that diverted his attention.

‘Ding,

Since the host has successfully become a cultivator, he will be rewarded with a second [User Interface].

‘A second [User Interface]?’

Just as Leo was surprised to learn that a second [User Interface] had unlocked, something happened that made his jaws nearly drop.

‘Tud’

With a loud noise, the entire pitch back room lit up as Leo noticed he was surrounded by hundreds of books neatly sitting on the shelves.

‘There are so many cultivation techniques.’

Leo could tell that each book represented a starlight cultivation technique without any explanation, and there were nearly a thousand or more._.

The cultivation techniques around him are classified into four sections: Attack, Defence, Support, and Weapon.

Each section has 200 to 300 cultivation manuals each, and these books were again classified into three rows: Copper, Silver, and Gold.

The Copper and Silver rows in each section have more than 100 cultivation manuals, whereas the Gold row has less than ten books.

‘Ding,

The system detected a small collection of cultivation manuals. Requesting for the host’s permission to analyze the cultivation manuals.

As Leo was in a daze to see the huge number of cultivation manuals, he received the system notification asking his permission to analyze.

‘Analyse? What do you want to analyze about them?’

Even though he was surprised that the system deemed the huge collection of cultivation manuals into a small collection, he was more surprised about its analysis.

‘Ding,

The system will pick the suitable and most powerful cultivation techniques from each section.

‘Oh. You can do that?’

Even though he knew the system could do many things, he was still surprised that it could analyze all the cultivation manuals to select a few for him.

Nevertheless, he didn’t stop the system and was permitted to analyze it.

‘Since I can pick only one cultivation technique from each section, it is better for the system to analyze them all.’

Fremont had already explained that cultivating more than one cultivation technique in each section would only waste his time. So, it was better to have a single cultivation technique that was top in that particular section.

‘Swiish’

As soon as he permitted the system, a holographic light screened all the cultivation manuals in the four sections, and in no time, the system sent him a reply.

‘Ding,

The system has finished its analysis.

‘That’s fast.’

No matter how much he tried not to get surprised by the system, it always surprised him with its abilities.

‘Since you have completed your analysis, which cultivation techniques should I select?’

Taking a deep breath, Leo asked the system to help him select the cultivation techniques.

‘Ding,

Select the ‘Starlight Rapid Punch’ from the attack section.

‘Ding,

.

.

Soon, the system suggested a cultivation technique for each section, and Leo selected them without thinking much.

‘Ding,

Host, hold all the books properly.

‘Ding,

Transferring all the data from the four cultivation manuals directly to the host’s head.

‘Ding,

Please bear the pain if there is any.

‘Okay.’

Leo had already gotten used to the system’s unique abilities. So, when he read the system notifications, he was no longer surprised and followed its instructions.

‘There is a slight pain, but I can bear it easily.’

Unlike when the golden laser shot out of the ‘Starlight Cultivation Manual’, Leo was ready for the pain this time.

Hence, he didn’t let out any groan and patiently waited for the system to complete the knowledge transfer.

‘Let’s see what this foreign information is.’

Along with the slight pain, Leo could feel a large amount of foreign information flooding his head.

Therefore, he sat down and checked the foreign information in his head.

‘What is this…I feel like I have already learned this cultivation technique before.’

To Leo’s surprise, he felt the cultivation techniques were familiar, making him slightly surprised; however, in the next second, he muttered, ‘Maybe it was the system’s doing.’

‘Ding,

The transfer of the four cultivation techniques’ knowledge had been completed. Please open your second [User Interface] to check the full details.

‘User Interface’

Leo was already curious when he heard that the system unlocked a second [User Interface], and now, four new cultivation techniques were added to his profile.

Therefore, he didn’t waste any time and opened it.

‘Ding,

Second [User Interface] or [Cultivator’s Interface].

Cultivator Name: Leo.

Strength: Level 0 Starlight Cultivator.

Main Cultivation Technique: Special Starlight Refining Technique (Bronze-Grade).

Starlight Dantian: 10 / 100 units of Starlight Energy.

Note: 1) the host’s body will passively absorb 10 units of Starlight Energy because of the cultivation technique.

2) When actively using the cultivation technique, one unit of Starlight Energy can be absorbed per minute.

Second Cultivation Techniques:

1) Starlight Rapid Fists (level 1), (Attack).

2) Starlight Steps (level 1), (Movement).

3) Starlight Golden Armour (level 1), (Defence).

4) Starlight Severing Sword Strike (level 1) (Weapon).

Soon, his full information as a cultivator appeared before Leo, making him carefully read everything on it.

‘My main cultivation technique is only Bronze Grade?’

There was no need for explanation as he could easily tell that the Bronze Grade is the lowest possible grade for a cultivation technique.

‘Now, I understand why I am feeling like there is a hole inside my body that is trying to absorb the surrounding starlight energy.’

After seeing ‘Starlight Dantian’ and the ‘Note’ section, Leo finally understood there is small storage inside his body where he could store the starlight energy.

‘Even though my profile as a cultivator looks mediocre, it is not bad since I have just started my part-time career as a cultivator.’

Leo was not expecting to become a powerful cultivator that could split the mountains overnight. Moreover, he was only doing it because he was curious about the cultivation.

He didn’t forget that his way to becoming stronger lies in the [Path of the Heroes] itself.

‘System, how do I upgrade this cultivation? Since you said they were considered as Talents and Skills, will repeatedly using them increase their levels?’

Soon, his eyes fell on the four secondary cultivation techniques and asked the system how to upgrade them.

‘Ding,

Yes. By repeatedly using them, the host can increase their levels.

‘Okay. Then what about my cultivation? How do I increase it?’

In the ‘Path of the Heroes,’ all he had to do was increase the level of his talent, and his hero rank would increase; however, Leo could tell it was not the case in the cultivation.

Hence, he asked the system about it.

‘Ding,

For the initial levels in the cultivation, the host needs to fill his ‘Starlight Dantian’ with starlight energy.

‘Interesting. So, I just have to actively cultivate for nine hours, or I can just let the starlight energy passively accumulate in my body for 90 hours to become a rank 1 starlight cultivator.’

Leo nodded as he slowly walked out of the [Starlight Library].
