Talent Swallowing Hero

In Leo’s eyes, the Flaming Lion King was not only powerful, but he was also vastly knowledgeable about many things.

Leo felt he had learned many new things in his short conversation with the Flaming Lion King.

However, something piqued his interest, and it was the help that the Flaming Lion King needed from him.

“Don’t think much about it for now. As long as your world passes the assessment, I will let you know. But, for now, focus on increasing your strength.”

Fury didn’t say what he wanted from Leo yet; instead, he asked Leo to focus on increasing his strength.

‘…’

Leo remained silent for a moment before nodding his head.

“Consume the fruits and use the Fragment of the God Stone for the next couple of days before going out to train.”

After finishing his words, Fury returned to his usual routine in the territory: sleep.

The Flaming Lion King has a unique ability that makes him powerful just by sleeping. Even though it was quite slow, Fury didn’t mind sleeping all day for some reason._-.

“Okay.”

Leo was planning to do it even if the Flaming Lion King didn’t say that.

I will sort my talents and skills after eating the Supreme Innate Earth Elemental Fruit. I need to farm them as much as possible before the system finishes its upgrade.’

Leo walked into his den and started planning his next few days before his system upgraded.

Since he didn’t have any wind-related talent, Leo could only store the Supreme Innate Wind Elemental Fruit.

‘The good thing about this fruit is, it has a cooldown of a month. So, I don’t have to worry about the fruit losing its effect.’

After confirming that it won’t lose its effect, Leo stored it in his [Portable Dimensional space] before taking out the Supreme Innate Earth Elemental Fruit.

‘Earth-elemental talents.’

‘Ding,

1) Earth Manipulation (level 9), Potential (75/100).

2) Mega Terra Bull Transformation, (Level 7), Potential (10/100).

3) Earth Stomp, (Level 7), Potential (10/100).

With a thought, the three earth-type talents appeared in front of him.

‘What? The potential for [Earth Manipulation] has reached 75 percent?’

The moment Leo saw the potential of his level 9 talent, he was surprised because he didn’t expect its potential to be that high.

‘Last time I checked, it was less than 50 percent. Is it because of the Divine Comprehension Pill I consumed in the Solitary Forest?’

After thinking for a moment, Leo could only think of the effect of the Divine Comprehension Pill.

‘It is a waste to use the valuable fruit on the [Earth Manipulation].’

Without any hesitation, Leo eliminated the special talent because as long as he worked on it, he could increase the potential to 100 in less than 15 days.

Of course, he considered the effects of the Divine Comprehension Pill in it.

“As for [Earth Stomp], I can either use the [Asbolute Devour] or [Talent Promoter] to upgrade it to level 9. Therefore, I only have a single talent left to upgrade; however, it is still at level 7.”

Leo looked at [Mega Terra Bull Transformation] on the holographic screen for a moment before thinking of a plan.

‘Let’s upgrade it to level 8 with the Fragment of the God Stone….no…I will wait until the system finishes its upgrade and I swallow a special talent.’

Before he could implement his plan, Leo cancelled it and decided to postpone the things related to upgrading his talents for another six days.

‘I think I should go out again now.’

Leo had arrived just now, and now, he had to go out and increase the potential for the [Earth Manipulation] and the skills stuck at level 8.

‘Everything is connected to the system’s upgrade. Until then, I will farm new talents and skills while using the level 8 skills 100 times each.’

With that thought in mind, Leo left the Emberfields and started his hunt in the wilderness.

Unlike before, he was not alone this time; instead, he brought a rank 9 flaming lion he met when he first entered the Emberfields.

…

In the Ogre’s territory,

“Skye, do you know where I can find the wind-type wild beasts and monsters other than Zephyr Eagles? They need to have huge numbers.”

Leo didn’t start his hunt directly; instead, he asked the flaming lion he bought along with him.

Previously, Leo only wanted to hunt the metal-clawed vultures and knew where to find them; however, he needed someone who knew where to find the type of monsters he wanted to hunt.

Moreover, Lionel suggested that Skye was the most knowledgeable flaming lion below the supreme-ranked flaming lions. So, he decided to bring that rank 9 beast along with him.

“Even though there are many wind-type wild beasts in the wilderness; however, there are two races of wild beasts and one monster race that have huge numbers.”

Skye didn’t know why Leo was asking specifically about wind-type wild beasts; however, he respectfully informed about the three races of the wind-type wild beasts in the wilderness.

“One is Wind serpents that reside in the Naga’s territory, and the other is Gale monkeys that reside in human territory.”

Soon, he started explaining the beast race and where they reside, “As for the monster race, they are hurricane drakes that live between the Ogre’s territory and Naga’s territory.”

“Wind Serpents, Gale Monkeys and Hurricane Drakes.”

Leo repeated his targets for the next six days and selected, “Let’s start with Wind Serpents.”

There was a specific reason why he selected the Wind Serpents first, and it was because of his Arcane Silver’s special skill [Snake Ancestor’s Manifestation].

It’s been a few days since he upgraded his weapon; however, he didn’t encounter any snake-type beasts or monsters. So, while farming for a special wind-type talent, he wanted to see how powerful that skill is.

“Let’s go to Naga’s territory.”

Soon, Skye started guiding Leo to the Naga’s territory filled with all types of snakes.
