Talent Swallowing System

‘Yes.’

There was no hesitation as he agreed, and soon, his Starlight Dantian became empty.

‘Ding,

Two thousand units of Starlight Energy are consumed.

‘Ding,

Congratulations to the host for becoming a rank 3 Starlight Cultivator.

There was no pain whatsoever as Leo instantly became a rank 3 Starlight Cultivator.

‘The side effect from traveling between the worlds has finally disappeared, and thanks to my increase in Starlight Cultivation, I feel refreshed.’

Leo opened his eyes which shone briefly before revealing clear eyes.

‘Not only do I feel refreshed, but I also sense I became a little stronger.’

Previously when he broke through to rank 1 or rank 2 starlight cultivation stages, Leo could not sense the increase in his strength because it was very minute.

However, after becoming a rank 3 starlight cultivator, he could sense those changes which were still minute._.

‘Ding,

[Cultivator’s Interface].

Cultivator Name: Leo.

Strength: Level 3 Starlight Cultivator.

Starlight Dantian: 1 / 3000 units of Starlight Energy.

‘My Starlight Dantian has increased by another 1000 units, which means I have to fill the whole 3000 units to make another breakthrough.’

Leo felt 3000 units was not much because of the changed effects of the [Special Starlight Refining Technique].

If he actively cultivated, it only needs 30 hours to become a rank 4 Starlight Cultivator.

‘Compared to a regular [Hero’s path], my Starlight Cultivation was much faster.’

In [Hero’s path], a hero has to use his talent to upgrade its level repeatedly, and upon successful upgradation in talent’s level, the hero’s rank will be upgraded.

However, it would take days or even weeks to gain sufficient experience to become a rank 3 hero; however, Leo could increase his starlight cultivation much faster.

Moreover, during cultivation, he doesn’t have to fight or use any cultivation techniques…at least not for now.

‘Anyway, for a side career, I have spent more than enough time on it.’

Nevertheless, Leo didn’t have any plans to resume his cultivation as he had other plans to do now since his ‘World-Travelling Sickness’ had gone.

“It’s time to finish my revenge and break through to the Supreme rank.”

Leo didn’t want to waste any time taking revenge on Theodore, and finding out the real reason behind why his adoptive parents got killed was not the end.

It is the beginning of his new life in which he will no longer be shackled by revenge.

‘Once I finish my revenge, I can finally return to the family and live my new life.’

Of course, he didn’t forget about the World Assessment.

While living with his family, Leo planned to increase his strength, and at the same time, he also planned to increase the strength of his family and friends for the upcoming World Assessment.

‘As for the Slave Marker, I will keep an eye and ear out for him; however, my main focus should be on becoming powerful for the World Assessment.’

Leo always preferred survival over instant revenge, and that’s how he survived while fueling his desire for revenge to become powerful.

‘As long as I survive long enough in this godforsaken world, there will come an opportunity for me to take revenge.’

With that thought in mind, Leo stood up and decided to go out.

‘Ding,

A new system mission [Time for Revenge] has been issued. Open the mission to check for more details.

Suddenly, a system notification appeared in his head, making Leo reveal a cold smile.

‘System, you are giving me the perfect mission at the perfect time.’

‘Ding,

Mission Name: Time for Revenge.

Mission Objective: As the name suggests, complete your revenge on the City leader Theodore.

Additional Objective: Complete the mission as secretly as possible without others knowing about it.

Reward: 1) Removal of the Inner Demon.

2) A Supreme Innate Elemental Fruit (The host can choose whichever element he wants).

Additional Reward: 1) A City Creation Token (Gold).

More Information: Currently, the system detected the target is not in the city. It is the best and easiest way for the host to complete the revenge with his own hands.

Note: 1) The system will project a map guiding the host to the target’s location.

2) Completing the mission without the help of his followers would give additional rewards.

Soon, the full details of the mission appeared before him, making Leo pleasantly surprised.

‘He is not in the city? The system will project a map?’

The more he read about the mission, the more surprised he became because he didn’t expect the system even to project a map for his target.

‘System, I am planning to take my revenge secretly even if you didn’t mention it.’

Since Leo has a level 7 supreme-ranked beast follower, he would naturally become the most powerful hero in the human world; however, that doesn’t mean he would become a tyrant and kill whoever he wanted.

Most of the residents of this world don’t know about the organizations in this world except for the city leader and the mighty heroes, including Leo.

The strength of the leaders of these organizations was at least level 3 supreme rank or even higher.

“If I openly kill a city leader, I would be treated as a traitor of the human race, and those secret organisations either recruit me or kill me. I’m not too fond of either option. So, it is better to take care of things as secretly as possible.”

Leo’s other identity, ‘The Talent Swallowing Hero,’ was already hunted by the city leaders and some of these organizations.

Therefore, he didn’t want to do any things that might put him and his family in danger using his real identity.

‘Ding,

The map has been generated. Please open it, and you will find your target’s location on it.

As soon as he closed the previous system window, the system informed him about the map.

‘Let’s see how it works…Open.’

With a thought, he opened the map and found a red dot blinking on the location ‘Solitary Forest’.

‘He is in the Solitary Forest? What a good place to bury him!’

Without wasting any time, Leo left the manor after checking on his followers, who were still recovering from the ‘World-Travelling Sickness’.
