Talent Swallowing Hero

‘What?’

Hearing the last rules of the first trial, all the participants in the [Treasure Land] raised their brows.

‘Am I hearing things?’

On the other hand, Leo felt he was hearing things because the rule goes against the behavior of the Abyssal Demon God.

‘Was the author of the Book of the [God Ruins] wrong about the Abyssal Demon God?’

After confirming that he was not hearing things, Leo felt the information in the Book of the [God Ruins] might be wrong.

However, when he thought about all the information about the [God Ruins] he was using until now, Leo removed that thought from his head.

‘Maybe he was planning something huge for the second trial.’

This was the conclusion that Leo came to after thinking for a few moments as he looked at the surroundings participants who looked dejected with the last rule.

They were hoping to kill as many participants as possible in the first trial to reduce the competition; however, with the addition of ‘No Participant Killing’, everyone could only suppress their urge to kill others for now.

‘There is still time to kill them in the future.’

This was the line in their minds followed by, ‘I need to collect as many treasure points as possible.’

<During the first trial, a participant can willingly transfer the treasure points to others with a thought. Even though the participants can’t kill each other, the Abyssal Beasts will kill you. So, try your best and do anything to survive in the [Treasure Land] as you will get additional treasure points for surviving the first trial>

<The first trial will be completed when the items from the first three sections are completed. So, collect the treasure points, and redeem the treasures as soon as possible to complete the first trial>

‘Swoosh’

As soon as he finished his words, the remnant spirit disappeared from the sky without a trace.

‘Swoosh’

Just as the participants were wondering where the so-called Hungry Abyssal Beasts were, they started to disappear from their places as they got teleported to a random place in the [Treasure Land].

…

‘Swoosh’

Along with the other participants, Leo was also teleported and appeared on one of the tallest mountains.

‘Roar’

As soon as he appeared on the mountain top, Leo heard roars of the beasts as he was soon surrounded by a dozen Abyssal Beasts that he saw earlier through the portal.

However, compared to the strength of those Hungry Abyssal Beasts, these beasts have the strength of only level 1 supreme rank.

[Arcane Silver]

His silver sword appeared from the storage ring as Leo casually slashed through the air.

‘Slash’

‘Puchi’

The silver sword released a silver light ray which slashed through more than 10 Abyssal Beasts into two pieces.

‘Ding,

The host killed 12 Illusionary Abyssal Beasts and gained 12 treasure points.

‘Swoosh’

As soon as he killed all the Abyssal Beasts around him, Leo received a system notification and the corpses on the ground turned into tiny light particles before entering his body.

‘It looks like these beasts are not beasts. I think there is no need to waste my breath on them.’

Once he learned about the Abyssal Beasts being illusionary beasts, Leo lost his interest in killing them because it was useless for them.

Leo won’t get any [Supreme Promote Points], [Experience] for his talents, and he could not even devour the corpses.

Of course, Leo could get treasure points from killing the Abyssal Beasts; however, he had already planned something for getting free treasure points without killing any Abyssal Beasts.

Therefore, Leo decided to not hunt the Abyssal Beasts like a madman just to get the treasure points.

‘Since one needs at least one million treasure points to gain access to the [Treasure Room], it will take quite some time for other participants to collect them. In the meanwhile, I think it is better for me to cultivate.’

[Undead Summoner – Raise my Undead Beings]

Before starting his cultivation, Leo summoned two supreme-ranked undead beings and ordered them to guard him.

Even though he had more than a dozen supreme-ranked undead beings, Leo didn’t bother to summon them as he didn’t feel any need to summon them.

Also, he still has nine slots left to give the sentience to the undead beings; however, he didn’t find any good undead beings to bless the sentience.

‘I found a few good monsters and mutated beasts among the participants of the [Treasure Land]. I hope I can successfully give sentience to one or two among those good monsters and mutated beasts.’

After giving his orders, Leo didn’t bother to waste his time as he found a nice spot to start his starlight cultivation.

‘Starlight Dantian’

Leo didn’t start his cultivation directly; instead, he checked the Starlight Energy in his Starlight Dantian.

‘Ding,

Starlight Dantian: 1500 / 3000 units.

Even though he was not cultivating actively during the last few days, Leo received nearly 1500 units of Starlight Energy passively.

Of course, from time to time, he spent an hour or two actively cultivating to receive more units of Starlight Energy.

‘Use 1000 units to upgrade my Starlight Severing Sword Strike.’

Leo had already spent enough Starlight Energy to break through to the next rank in his cultivation; however, there was an additional requirement that required Leo to upgrade one of his basic cultivation techniques to upgrade into an Elite cultivation technique.

Therefore, Leo focused on emptying his Starlight Dantian before starting his cultivation.

‘Ding,

The host used 1000 units of Starlight Energy.

‘Ding,

Starlight Severing Sword Strike has been upgraded to level 2.

‘Time to cultivate.’

Leo didn’t waste any time after upgrading his cultivation technique as he started his cultivation.

‘Ding,

Detected that the host is in a [Treasure Land].

‘Ding,

The host’s cultivation speed will be 20 times faster inside the current [Treasure Land].

‘What? 20 times boost in the cultivation speed?’

Just as Leo started circulating his cultivation technique, Leo received two system notifications that gave him pleasant surprises.
