I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything

Michael squinted his eyes. He knew that if he didn't do something about this, it would just follow him no matter how much he used his 'Shadow Teleportation'.

Suddenly, he blended into the shadow of the cactus beside him and came into the Shadow Realm. 'Let's see if you can follow me.'

Fey looked at the golden arrow that suddenly froze. "Where did he go?"

Fein and Gregory, who saw this, smiled at each other.

"Good move. The golden arrow might no longer follow him in the Shadow Realm." Gregory said.

Hearing this, Fein shook his head left and right and says, "Not really. Even though the Shadow Realm is a separate dimension of reality. The laws of the Universe still affected it. So, causal abilities could still access other dimensions that work within the laws."

As if proving what he said. The shadow of the cactus wiggled and wrapped the golden arrow rapidly until it completely vanished.

Fey heaves a sigh of relief after she saw her arrow follow Michael. Although she didn't know where Michael went. She guesses her heart, and she knew it was a place that wasn't accessible to others.

...

Michael sat on top of a black castle leisurely. He's confident that the golden arrow won't follow him. After all, he had traveled to the Shadow Realm, and he become extremely familiar with it for a long time.

He hadn't encountered an enemy who could follow him, and the Shadow Realm became a haven to him where he could escape when he encounters something dangerous. Just staying in this realm gave him a strong sense of security.

"Causal Ability or something. It seems it's not as awesome as it sounds." Michael yawned lazily. "I'll just stay here for another three minutes."

Just when he intended to close his eyes, a whizzing sound came to his ears like a bee. 'Huh, what's that sound? It must be my illusion, right?' When he turned his head at the source of the sound, his eyes widened.

Because one hundred meters from him, a familiar golden light emerged from the void of the Shadow Realm.

'Shit!' Michael quickly came back to his senses and cursed. 'How the fuck did it travel from one dimension to another!?'

Before he could continue his train of thought, the golden light already rushed in his direction. The arrow whizzed past through the space as if it had integrated itself into the shadows.

"Damn, I take back what I said. Causal ability is amazing!" Michael sighed.

He channeled his degu energy into his body and came out of the Shadow Realm to buy time. When he appeared in the Desert, he saw his captain and Fein looking at him mockingly.

'Bastards.' Michael didn't pay attention to them any longer and quickly activated one of his armor's abilities. 'Ranade!'

Just like that, he felt the armor in his body transferred a violent creature into his shoulder. Then, a dragon-mark written logo with an unfamiliar language on its side etched itself on his shoulder. He's not familiar with the language, but he weirdly understood what it meant.

The text on his shoulders lit up, and an eighty-meter white dragon came out from his shoulders and ascended in the air. Michael felt a strange connection between his shoulder and the majestic white dragon in the air.

Fey, who watched this, gasped in shock. She looked at the white dragon; she saw the clouds in the sky rioted with the emergence of the dragon.

"I Ranade, the Dragon who governed the clouds am here to serve the master." The dragon stared at Michael with his golden irises.

Michael swallowed and unconsciously took a step. Even though he knew that it was his ability, it still shocked him greatly!

"Fuck! How come A-rank equipment has an ability like this? This is absurd!" Fein took a deep breath.

"That armor came from the ruin of White Guardian Civilization in one of the secret realms. The exploration team of the main branch that has an S-rank their captain was the one who acquired this. And the headquarters allocated this white armor to us fifteen years ago." Gregory chuckled when he saw the surprise on his face.

"White Guardian Civilization?" Fein became interested immediately when he heard a familiar term. He caressed his and asked thoughtfully, "It is perhaps one of the Ancient Civilizations?"

"Hmmm... It seems that are already familiar with them." Gregory said.

"Yes, I've learned a lot during our exploration in the Secret Realm from Sofia." Fein smiled.

"Ohhh... That's reasonable. People knew that the daughter of Viscount Lucius was intelligent and well-versed in the matters concerning the Mysterious Side."

'Intelligent?' His mouth when twitched when he heard his captain say this. 'Well, she's fairly knowledgeable.'

Fein was clear that being knowledgeable doesn't mean you are intelligent. Intelligence encompasses comprehension, memory, reasoning, judgment, and observation. Genes hugely affected the intelligence of the person, although they can also improve due to brain plasticity and neurogenesis. The genes limited the improvement and it can only make the person reach their full potential.

While anyone who studied a lot of things and knew little about everything can be called knowledgeable. An average person can be known as long as he has patience and persistence. Well, that is as long as that said person wasn't dumb enough and he has average comprehension.

'Just like me, I only became smart because of my talent,' Fein thought with a self-deprecating smile. "By the way, what is White Guardian Civilization all about?" he looked at his captain.

Fein knew just how awesome the inheritances and things related to civilization were after he acquired one. So, if the white armor really came from an Ancient Civilization. Having a skill that could summon a dragon wasn't that absurd anymore. After all, compared to his 'Golden Mist Transformation' Technique that could multiply the strength and give the user ability. It was miles better...

"I don't have much information about them. But they said that the White Tiger Guardian had the bloodline of righteous God flowing through their veins. And the bloodline gave them special abilities. One of them is to control and manipulate clouds." Gregory said.
