Talent Swallowing Hero

“Saviour Leo, you are back! What colour of the [Starlight Refining Technique] did you see in the ‘Starlight Cultivation Manual’?”

As soon as Leo walked out of the ‘Starlight Library’, the tribe leader Fremont asked Leo with a curious look on his face.

“Colour?”

Leo tried to remember it for a moment before saying, “It’s bronze colour.”

“What? You received Bronze grade [Starlight Refining Technique]?”

When he heard Leo’s reply, the tribe leader was shocked and slightly disappointed as he thought, ‘It looks like Saviour Leo is not suited for my starlight cultivation.’

“Is there a problem with it?”

Even though Leo could tell he got the lowest grade of cultivation technique, he didn’t bother much about it; however, he didn’t expect the other party to be so disappointed and sad for him.

“Ahem.”

Fremont cleared his throat as he replied, “Saviour Leo, I think you shouldn’t follow our Starlight Cultivation. With a bronze-grade starlight refining technique, it would take at least a month to become a rank 1 starlight cultivator and at least a year to reach rank 2, and as for rank 3 and above, it would take years.”

“Hence, it is best for the Saviour Leo not to waste your time on this cultivation.”

Even though the tribe leader was disappointed, he didn’t force Leo to cultivate his tribe’s ‘Starlight Cultivation’; instead, he asked Leo not to waste his time._.

“Huh? A month to become a rank 1 starlight cultivator?”

However, when Leo heard the tribe leader’s words, he frowned.

‘Even if I don’t cultivate, I can become a rank 1 starlight cultivator in four days, and if I actively cultivate, it will only take nine hours.’

Leo frowned and suddenly remembered, ‘That’s right! There was another line of text in the book.’

<I have high hopes for you>

Even though Leo only saw it for a moment, he remembered them.

‘Also, my main cultivation technique was not normal; instead, it is a Special Starlight Refining Technique.’

He also remembered that there was a ‘Special’ in his cultivation technique.

When he checked his [Cultivator’s Interface], Leo’s eyes focused on the cultivation technique’s grade rather than the word ‘Special’.

After hearing the tribe leader’s words, he realized that his main cultivation technique was special.

‘Wait a second. If a bronze grade cultivation technique was already faster, I wonder how fast it would be if I upgraded it.’

Leo hurriedly asked the tribe leader, “Is there a way to upgrade the main cultivation technique?”

“As far as I know, there is none. That’s why I suggest the Saviour Leo focus on his [Path of the Heroes] or find a suitable cultivation path other than the Starlight Cultivation.”

If someone was not suited for the Starlight Cultivation, that doesn’t mean they could follow other cultivation paths and might even find a tailor-made cultivation path.

Therefore, the tribe leader suggested following different cultivation paths or fully focusing on the Heroes’ path.

“No way to upgrade the grade of the cultivation technique?”

Leo frowned before shaking his head.

Even though his [Special Starlight Refining Technique] was good for now, just like the tribe leader said, it would only get harder and harder as the cultivation increases.

Therefore, Leo felt it was a pity to be unable to upgrade its grade.

‘Ding,

There is no need to give so soon, host. As long as I am here, I will help you.

Suddenly, the system sent a notification that made Leo could not help but reveal a smile.

‘Ding,

The host can unlock a new ability related to the cultivation with the help of three ‘Fragments of the God Stones’.

‘Ding,

Collect them and unlock the ability to make your cultivation as easy as your Hero’s path.

‘What? I can unlock a new ability using the ‘Fragments of the God Stones’? Why didn’t you say this a few days back? I would not have used them to increase the potential of my talents.’

If Leo knew that he could use the ‘Fragment of the God Stones’ to unlock the system abilities, he would not have used them on anything other than unlocking them.

However, he had already used them to increase the potential of his rank 8 and rank 9 talents. Hence, there was nothing Leo could do now besides collecting the ‘Fragments of the God Stones’.

‘Ding,

It is a hidden feature that is unlocked after the upgrade. So, the system could not inform it before and had to wait until a situation where the host required a system ability.

‘Oh’

After reading the latest system notification, Leo shook his head and checked his storage ring.

‘I have one Fragment of the God Stone. I need two more to unlock a system ability.’

Leo muttered to himself as he continued, ‘Where could I find the Fragments of the God Stones now?’

‘Right! I still have the map to the [God’s Ruins]; I think after finishing my revenge, I should enter it and try my luck in finding the Fragments of the God Stones.’

Suddenly, Leo remembered the map to the [God’s Ruins] that he found the Ambermane family and decided to enter it because the chances of gaining at least one or two Fragments of the God Stones are high inside the [God’s Ruins].

“Saviour Leo, what are you thinking? Are you still planning to follow my tribe’s Starlight cultivation?”

Soon, Leo came out of his thoughts when he heard the tribe leader’s voice.

“I will try it and see whether it will be worth pursuing this cultivation path or not.”

After saying that, Leo didn’t wait for the tribe leader to ask any more questions as he replied, “I will go to the Emberfields tomorrow morning.”

Since the mission he had come to the human territory was finished, there was no reason for Leo to stay here any longer. Therefore, he wanted to go back to the Emberfields.

“Okay.”

The tribe leader didn’t say anything and nodded before guiding Leo to a special guest chamber.

“By the way, will you be okay? What if the Slave Marker comes back and enslaves you again?”

Along the way, Leo asked the tribe leader with a calm tone.

Leo thought if the Slave Marker returned, he could turn all the humans in this territory into enslaved beings again.

“Don’t worry about us, Saviour Leo. There is no way he could turn us into enslaved beings again.”

With a face full of confidence, the tribe leader assured Leo.

‘You have so much confidence. No wonder the Slave Marker turned the entire Starlight Tribe into enslaved beings.’

Obviously, Leo couldn’t believe the tribe leader’s words because if they were that confident, how did they become slaves to the Slave Marker in the first place?

“Saviour Leo, I might sound arrogant and over-confident; however, there was a reason why we became the enslaved beings last time.”

The tribe leader sensed the look on Leo’s face and started explaining, “I am not giving any excuses for becoming an enslaved being last time; however, the strength of the Slave Marker was only rank 9. He was not even a supremely ranked hero.”

“What? Not even a rank 9 hero?”

Leo was shocked to the core when he heard the tribe leader’s words.
