Talent Swallowing System

If it was a different Slave Marker than his world, Leo would have been only surprised because a rank 9 hero was enslaving an entire tribe that was protected by a level 5 supreme-ranked hero and level 6 supreme-ranked starlight cultivator.

However, Leo had already concluded that the Slave Marker in both worlds were the same, making him thoroughly shocked to know the strength of the Slave Marker.

'How can he be a rank 9 hero? How can that be?'

When he learned about the existence of the Slave Marker in the [Treasure Land], Leo had thought the Slave Marker to have at least level 1 supreme-ranked hero strength.

And when he learned the Slave Marker in the Beastnet was the same one as the human world, Leo increased his strength to higher than level 1 supreme rank because of his ability to enslave an entire tribe filled with people who were not only heroes but also cultivators.

Therefore, Leo found it a little hard to accept that the Slave Marker was only a rank 9 hero.

"That's right! He was only a rank 9 hero, and if not for my son Ewart, who was known as Empathy Guardian, we would not have been enslaved."

Fremont could not help but become slightly angry whenever he thought about his son's actions.

Apparently, his son, whose heart could not stand the suffering of others, brought back an injured human to their tribe and healed his injuries.

Although his son has level 3 supreme-ranked starlight cultivation, that injured human enslaved his son by who knows how. With the help of his enslaved son, the Slave Marker enslaved the whole tribe before anyone could realize it.

"Other than engraving enslavement seals, he must have some other powerful abilities. I must be more careful when confronting him if I need to take revenge for putting me through so much pain."

Leo already knew the story of how the Slave Marker enslaved the entire tribe from the Flaming Lion King and Aurora.

However, after learning about the Slave Marker's strength, Leo felt the Slave Marker was even more dangerous than he thought.

Which is more dangerous?

Fighting an enemy with high strength or enemy with an average strength but mysterious abilities?

In Leo's perspective, the latter was more dangerous as one could not predict what someone with mysterious abilities would pull out in the middle of a fight.

"That's why I am not going to make the same mistake, and the moment I see him, I will kill him without hesitation."

The tribe leader nodded.

"By the way, didn't he take an interest in your cultivation?"

Even though the cultivation was a tiresome process, it has its own advantages over the Heroes' path. So, he was curious about the Slave Marker and whether he also entered the Starlight Library.

"He was interested and wanted to enter the Starlight Library; however, I could not open the door."

The tribe leader slightly smiled as he continued, "Apparently, the Starlight Library has its own soul, and it will not open for the outsider to enter. In the past, I didn't believe it; however, when the Slave Engraver forced me to open it, I found out it was true."

'But…"

"Saviour Leo was an exception, and since you have freed the entire Starlight Tribe, there are no restrictions on you. "

Before Leo could finish his words, the tribe leader had already answered his question, making Leo pleasantly surprised as he looked at the closed door of the Starlight Library.

'So the words I have seen on the shining book must be from the soul of the Starlight Library.'

Leo muttered to himself and talked about a few more things with the Tribe leader before entering the guest house.

'Since I am not tired, I will try cultivating until morning and become a rank 1 starlight cultivator before leaving for the Emberfields.'

Even though Leo went through so much for the past one day in the Human Territory, he was still full of energy, and since he decided to give cultivation a try, he set a small goal for himself in his cultivation.

…..

Time continued to pass; nine hours passed by in a flash, and the morning came.

Inside the Starlight Tribe's guest house,

With his eyes closed, Lee was sitting on a cultivation carpet in a cross-legged position.

'Siish'

Around him, countless tiny light dots slowly but steadily entered his body.

'Ding,

+ 10 units of starlight energy have entered the host's body.

'Ding,

The host's Starlight Dantian is completely full.

'Ding,

The host has met the requirements to become a rank 1 starlight cultivator.

Leo opened his eyes from the meditation when he received the system notifications.

'It's already full? Don't tell me nine hours have already passed?'

Leo was surprised to see that his Starlight Dantian was already full and hurriedly checked how long he was cultivating.

'Ding,

It's been nine hours, and since the host cultivated actively, he received 10 units of starlight energy every hour.

'It's really been 10 hours since I started my cultivation.'

Leo was surprised because he felt like not even one hour had passed.

'Is it because of my special cultivation technique, or do all the cultivators feel the same?'

He didn't know whatever the reason was; however, he felt cultivating was not as tiresome as he thought it would be.

Moreover, he felt like he had taken a good nap which refreshed his mind. So, he felt he should often spend some time on cultivation to feel refreshed.

'Upgrade my cultivation.'

Coming out of his thoughts, he ordered the system to use the 100 units of Starlight Energy to make him a rank 1 starlight cultivator.

'Ding,

100 units of Starlight Energy are consumed.

'Ding,

The host is now a rank 1 Starlight Cultivator.

Soon, he received the system notifications and successfully became a rank 1 starlight cultivator; however, he didn't feel any changes physically.

'It might be because my body must be physically strong.'

Since Leo was a rank 9 hero, his physical body was much stronger. Therefore, Leo didn't feel any physical changes in his body because the increase in strength was like a drop in the ocean; it was very hard to notice the changes.

'However, there is still something that changed inside my body.'

Even though there were no physical changes, with the increase in the cultivation, Leo could tell that his Starlight Dantian had increased.

'Ding,

[Cultivator's Interface].

Cultivator Name: Leo.

Strength: Level 1 Starlight Cultivator.

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

Starlight Dantian: 0 / 1000 units of Starlight Energy.

With a thought, he summoned his [Cultivator's Interface] and checked the increase in the capacity of the Starlight Dantian.

'1000 units?'

Leo was surprised and silently thought, 'It increased by 900 units by a single breakthrough in my cultivation; I wonder how much it will increase for the future ranks.'

'The higher my dantian capacity is, the higher the starlight energy I could store, and with a high amount of starlight energy, I can use more cultivation techniques during the fight.'

Leo had already learned the benefits of having a high-capacity Starlight Dantian, and he was curious to know how much it would increase in the future.

'Anyway, it is time to farm the [Promote Points] and increase my talents and skills levels.'

After bidding his farewell to the Starlight Tribe, Leo quietly left the human territory with his beast follower Sutin.
