Talent Swallowing System

There is another classification of the talents depending on the activation of the talents.

In this category, there are only two types:

1) Active talents: The user has to activate the talent to use it when required by them.

2) Passive talents: The user doesn't have to think or be conscious, but the talents will be automatically triggered.

So, when Leo saw that the [Battle-axe mastery] was a passive talent, he was simultaneously shocked and excited.

'Ding,

Talent name: Battle-axe mastery (Level 4).

Talent Type: Passive.

Effects: 1) When the user holds a battle-axe, his strength and defence increase by 100 percent.

2) The damage dealt by the battle-axe will be increased by 100 percent.

For Leo, it only took 13000 [Promote points] to upgrade his new talent to level 4, and he was surprised with such a huge increase in the effects of the talent.

'It increased by 10 times already and I wonder how much the effects will increase when I upgrade it to level 9.'

After seeing the upgraded effects of his new talent, Leo muttered, 'No wonder, the Ogre King's has such a huge defence.'

He knew the only reason he could pierce through the Ogre King's neck was the Shadow Vampire's help. If he tried to directly pierce it, even with the [Absolute Pierce], it would have been impossible for him to kill the Ogre King.

'Ding,

Reminder: Consume the Supreme-ranked monster's corpse using [Absolute Devour] as soon as possible to get a high chance of awakening a skill.

Soon, the system reminded him about the Ogre king's corpse.

"Right! I am hoping to awaken a skill."

Leo felt he would awaken a skill for sure because of the Ogre King's strength when he was alive.

[Absolute Devour]

Since the system informed him that the more he delayed devouring the corpse, the lower his chances of awakening a skill. Therefore, he didn't waste any more and summoned the devil's mouth to devour a 10-meter corpse.

'Kacha'

'Slurp'

It took nearly 10 minutes for the devil's mouth to finish eating the corpse.

'Ding,

The host used [Absolute Devour] and devoured a supreme-ranked monster.

'Ding,

The host awakened a new skill. Please check your user interface to learn about the skill.

'Excellent. I knew it.'

Leo could not help but be excited when he had awakened a new skill.

'Ding,

The host's skill [Fire Claw] has upgraded to level 8. The host does not meet the upgrade requirements for level 9. The experience points will be directed to the other skills or talents.

'Ding,

The host's skill [Spectre] has upgraded to level 8, and the host does not meet the upgrade requirements for level 9. The experience points will be directed to the other skills or talents.

'Ding,

The host's talent [Fire Healing] upgraded to level 7.

However, before Leo could check his new skill, a series of system notifications rang in his head, giving him back-to-back surprises.

'What? The experience points from devouring a Supreme-ranked monster is…a little too much, right?'

Even though he didn't know the upgrade requirements to upgrade his skills to level 9, he was pleasantly surprised that two of his level 7 skills had reached level 8, and another level 4 talent was upgraded to level 7.

'Looks like I just need to kill and consume the supreme-ranked beings to upgrade all my low-level skills and talents.'

Leo could not help but joke about upgrading his skills and talents.'

At the same time, he looked at the two Supreme-ranked beings from his secret dimension and thought, 'If I can kill them two, I might get two more new talents and two more new skills.'

As a human, Leo was not an exception as he also became a little greedy.

In his eyes, the supreme-grade beings had become a 'Talent farm' where he could reap talents and skills just by killing and devouring them.

'Looks like the City leader had made a deal with Mr. White.'

Looking at two supreme-ranked heroes fighting the two supreme-ranked beings, Leo silently muttered to himself and thought, 'I wonder what he offered to receive Mr. White's services.'

Since he knew what kind of organization the 'Black Suits' were, Leo could tell that the city leader was offering something good for Mr. White's services.

'Anyway, let's check what skill I got from the Ogre King.'

Nevertheless, Leo stopped thinking about other things and checked the new skill.

'Ding,

Skill name: Battle roar (Level 1)

Effect: When the user activates the skill, the morale of his subordinates will increase.

'That's it?'

Leo was expecting some powerful skill; however, after reading the effect, he was slightly disappointed.

'It's not a bad skill when I fight with subordinates; however, I hope there will be some changes in its effect when I upgrade it in the future.'

After thinking for a moment, Leo hoped that as long as the effect of the skill increases in the future, it will become a powerful skill.

'System, what are the requirements for upgrading a level 8 skill or talent into level 9?'

Soon, Leo asked the question that stopped upgrading his skills to level 9 earlier.

'Ding,

Unlike the other talents, the skills or talents gained from [Absolute Devour] need to be used 100 times along with the experience points that came from devouring.

'Huh? So there are two requirements.'

Leo nodded and asked, 'But, using 100 times is a little bit too much, right?'

'Ding,

On average, a regular hero needs to use his level 8 talent ten thousand times to gain enough experience points to upgrade it to level 9.

'Okay, let's not talk about it.'

As soon as he saw the words 'Ten thousand times', Leo didn't say anything about it because the system was right.

Even after using a level 8 talent ten thousand times, there was no guarantee that it would be upgraded to level 9.

Hence, he asked another question that's been bugging him for a few days.

'System, recently, I am not getting tired even after using my talents repeatedly. Is it also because of the system upgrade?'
