Talent Swallowing System

Chapter 336 Rank 9 Starlight Cultivator

With a strength of rank 7, there was no way for Shawn to escape from the Dragon Summoning Hero and his supreme-ranked dragon.

As someone who experienced the world, Shawn had done worse things just to survive. Hence, for him, following someone like the Dragon Summoning Hero was not an issue.

"Huh? You sure know your place…Good."

The Dragon Summoning Hero nodded at Shawn who was in a half-kneeling stance.

"However, it is not enough to show your loyalty to me."

Just like Shawn, the Dragon Summoning Hero had experienced a few things in the cruel world and he doesn't trust others so easily. Therefore, he had come up with something to keep Shawn remain loyal to him forever.

"Ghost, do it."

The Dragon Summoning Hero didn't explain much to Shawn as he ordered the Ghost Dragon.

'Roar'

The Ghost Dragon evilly roared before spitting a black ball full of Ghost Energy at Shawn.

"What are you….arrgh."

Before Shawn could say anything, the black ball entered his body, causing him unbearable pain.

"Don't worry. The pain will disappear after a few minutes."

The Dragon Summoning Hero walked closer to Shawn and continued to explain, "The Ghost Ball inside your body would continuously produce Ghost Energy and it would take a week to fill your body. So, if you want to survive, you need to come to the Ghost Dragon to absorb the produced energy."

'Aargh'

Even though Shawn was experiencing unbearable pain, he understood the Dragon Summoning Hero's words.

In short, he had become the Dragon Summoning Hero's slave.

'Sigh'

However, Shawn was not depressed when he heard those words; instead, he silently sighed while enduring the pain caused by the Ghost Ball inside his body.

"What happens if your Ghost Dragon dies?"

The pain inside Shawn's body disappeared after a few minutes and the first thing Shawn asked after the pain disappeared was whether the Ghost Ball inside his body would still remain if the Ghost Dragon dies.

'Huh?'

Hearing Shawn's words, the Dragon Summoning Hero frowned a bit; however, in the next second, he chuckled.

"What? Do you want to kill it and become free?"

The Dragon Summoning Hero could not help but feel funny when a rank 7 hero talked about the death of a level 1 supreme-ranked beast.

What's more, it was not a normal beast; instead, it was a Dragon that was much stronger than the regular beasts of the same rank.

"As you can see I am just a rank 7 hero, do you really think I can kill it?"

Shawn revealed a bitter smile when he realized the other party misunderstood his question and explained in detail, "I am just preparing myself whether to connect my life with the Ghost Dragon or not."

"You don't have to worry."

The Dragon Summoning Hero understood Shawn's concerns and replied, "If there is a day where my Ghost Dragon really dies, the Ghost ball inside your body would disappear and you can become free."

"However, with me present here, there is no one who was capable of killing any of my Dragons."

The Dragon Summoning Hero was confident in his abilities and the dragons he had summoned so far with his talent.

"I hope so."

Shawn shook his head as he silently thought, 'The moment you placed the Ghost Ball inside my body, your fate had already decided.'

There was a look of pity on Shawn's face when he looked at the Dragon Summoning Hero; however, he didn't bother much about it other than waiting.

"Now…shall we talk about your talent?"

Soon, the Dragon Summoning Hero started asking questions regarding Shawn's talent and other [Treasure Lands] or [God Ruins] in this world.

…

Inside the [Treasure Land],

'Ding,

The host's dantian is full. Please spend a few units before resuming your cultivation.

'Ding,

Starlight Dantian: 40000/ 40000 units.

Leo opened his eyes when he received the system notifications regarding his starlight dantian.

'It's time to become a rank 9 starlight cultivator.'

Without any hesitation, Leo used the 40000 units of Starlight Energy to upgrade his cultivation.

'Ding,

The host has spent 40000 units of Starlight Energy and successfully became a rank 9 Starlight Cultivator.

'Finally, I have completed my small goal of reaching the rank 9 Starlight Cultivation.'

Leo revealed a slight smile and thought of checking his [Cultivation Interface]; however, before he could check it, he received a system notification

'Ding,

The host's [Talent Blessing Ability] has come out of the cooldown. Please use it.

'Huh? It's already been a week since I blessed Arlo with talent?'

Leo felt the time was moving faster as it's been a week since he had returned from the Devil Goliath's World.

'If [Absolute Devour] would have upgraded a little sooner, I would not have wasted last week's [Talent Blessing Ability] on Arlo.'

When he returned from the Devil Goliath World, his [Talent Blessing Ability] came out of cooldown and at that time, Leo felt Arlo should have an additional talent since he was a city leader.

Nevertheless, there was nothing he could do about it now as he already planned to bless his talents to his beast and monster followers from now on.

As for the human followers, he could give them the talent awakening crystals from the [Absolute Devour].

'Since the [Talent Blessing Ability] has come out of the cooldown, then the system upgrade must have left with only three weeks.'

Suddenly, Leo thought about the system upgrade and without any hesitation, he checked the remaining time for the system upgrade.

'Ding,

The remaining time for the system upgrade: 21 days 0 hours 31 minutes.

'Since I will be using three Fragments of the God Stones, it is time for me to upgrade and swallow the talents of my fellow participants.'

Leo no longer bothered to check the [Cultivator's Interface] as he decided to swallow three new talents using the special effects of the Fragments of the God Stones.

"I am going for the hunt."

Leo said to his followers and before they could say anything, he had long disappeared from their view.
