Human Tier Talent

Suppressing the usual unease within his heart, he crouched down their bodies, and started to absorb their talent, while also taking away his spoils of war – their storage bags.

[Host has detected Mortal Tier 5 Talent. Absorbing Talent]

[Host has detected Mortal Tier 5 Talent. Absorbing Talent]

He took a glance at his Cultivation Talent, and seeing that it was now approaching the next Tier, he decided to allocate all his talent points towards it.

And just as he had did that, he suddenly heard an explosion within his mind, as well as the sound of something breaking into pieces.

It was like there were iron bar shackles there were bounding him, and they broke apart and he was released and free.

He could feel his body changing at a rapid pace, improving and enhancing something within him.

All of a sudden, the surrounding Qi Energy flew towards his body. A huge cyclone started to form, with Long Chen situated right within the centre of it all.

The cyclone of Qi Energy expanded and expanded, and became more than a few hundred meters wide.

The Qi Energy all moved in a circular motion around Long Chen, and Long Chen's body was subconsciously frantically absorbing the surrounding Qi.

The rate at which he was absorbing Qi was incredible, and ridiculous.

The most ludicrous of all, was the vast quantity of Qi that was absorbed within his body. An Elementary Realm master will directly burst apart facing such a huge amount of Qi.

But Long Chen was refining them for his own use.

Bursts of aura exploded from Long Chen, destroying the nearby rocks and stones, and also decimating the dead bodies around, causing them to vanish from existence.

The powerful cyclone started to subside after a while, and Long Chen exhaled a deep breath as he looked down at his very own body.

He was elated to realize that his cultivation had reached the 5th Elementary Realm!

However, he had absolutely no idea on what had caused his cultivation to skyrocket.

At this point, a notification resounded in his mind.

[Host's Cultivation Talent has upgraded from Mortal Tier 13 to Human Tier 1]

Seeing this notification, Long Chen doubts were more or less cleared.

This was probably a benefit of breaking through from a Mortal Talent to a Human Tier Talent.

And it seems like the grade after Mortal Tier was Human Tier.

If this was the case, could it be that there was even more grades after Human Tier too?

He shook the distracting thoughts from his head, as he peered at his host panel.

Host: Long Chen

Age: 13

Cultivation Talent: Human Tier 1 (2/300)

Cultivation: Fifth Elementary Realm (140/4000)

Skills: Shadow Sword (Yellow Grade 7): 98/100

Bone Muscle Alteration (Yellow Grade 4): 84/100

Leopard Fists (Yellow Grade 5): 40/100

----------------------

Alchemy Talent: Mortal Tier 10 (90/100)

Alchemy Grade: 1 (0/200)

It was, as he had expected, a bit more challenging for him to upgrade his talent now that he had broken through to a new grade, the Human Tier.

When he tried to cultivate, he was delighted to find that his cultivation speed had been enhanced by around 2 times!

Judging by this speed, he would be able to break through to the next realm in approximately 3 days!

The talented youth geniuses would have puked their blood out in jealously if they had realized how fast his cultivation advancement was.

However, Long Chen had a glaring disadvantage that other geniuses did not have.

Cultivation resources.

The descendants of the 4 Great Families were bound to have received numerous resources to help them cultivate faster, which is one of the reasons why the youths from each of the 4 Great Families were almost always at the top of the younger generation.

Background and resources could make up for talent.

This was something that could not be denied.

And because Long Chen knew this within his mind, therefore he decided to go on the path of Alchemy, which was one of the most profitable professions within the cultivation world.

At long as had talent in Alchemy, along with sufficient resources for practice, they would never ever find themselves lacking any money.

And since he had a few subordinates under him, he should also get them to work and earn some resources for him too.

He looked around his surroundings, where a barren and bleak ground now lay due to the destruction caused by his breakthrough.

The dead bodies were already gone with the wind, so there was no need for him to dispose of them and cover his tracks.

He raised his head up and looked towards the sky.

The sky was so bright and blue, as the clouds has dispersed and the pure rays of light shone onto him.

The scenery was brilliantly relaxing, and if he was not careful one day, he may not live to see it.

The enemies had begun to show themselves. Now, it was time for him to display his might.

At the same time, within the Fierce Tiger Gang.

Hun Yan glanced down at the aura that exuded out of his body in astonishment.

He had been stuck within the Second Elementary Realm for years, and was never ever able to make it past this point. It became a sort of a heart demon within him, as he blamed himself was his lack of talent and capabilities.

But now, he had actually broke through so quickly? And so surprisingly, even!

He was only walking around when he suddenly sensed a wave of power entered him, and boom!

He broke through.

He still wore an expression of utter disbelief, until the mark on his shoulders shone with an otherworldly glow and transmitted some information to him.

And his jaw was left hanging open when he knew how he broke through.

His fingers trembled in agitation, as he raised his head towards the direction of the Moonlight Sect, and emotionally said, "Thank you, Young Master!"

This breakthrough had not made his persistence and determination to break through waver at all. On the other hand, he felt even more motivated to train harder.

In normal circumstances, when people receive something for free, they take it for granted, and don't cherish it at all.

This was nothing shocking, really.

A part of the reason why Hun Yan acted as such, was because of the mark on his shoulders, which controlled and erased the laziness and lack of gratitude from his mind.

The two most dangerous feelings that led to the downfall of many, which was the reason why many people were unable to achieve success, was removed from him.

There was only left passion, determination, grit, and motivation to become stronger, to be of use to his Young Master.

The desire to grow stronger burned in his heart, like an undying flame that could never be extinguished.

Following his Young Master's orders, he swiftly went to the Alchemy Association to learn and become an Alchemist.

The rest of the subordinates were all putting in all their effort to cultivate with their newfound talent, breaking through realms after realms, and aiming their sights towards the Elementary Realm that had eluded them for so long.
