Gold Innate Talent: Solo-Leveling Halo

The door creaked open as Dylan gently pushed it. As he entered, he saw the wooden ceiling and ground that displayed old age and rotting. The sound of small termites eating the bits of pieces of wood entered his ears. After all, his five senses were incomparable from before. Although he's still not at the level to hear the footsteps of ants. The minute sounds of termites chewing the wood above his head could be heard a little.

Dylan's gaze landed on the table. Above it, there was a carton tray with a white clean towel. Dylan's eyes lit up, he quickly examined the surroundings. He determined that there were no traps or people. He briskly walked beside the carton tray. His gaze landed on a baby inside.

The baby didn't cry and only shifted his head at Dylan.

'What an incredible perception!'

Dylan chuckled. He eyed the dark silver pupils of the baby and sighed. Such a cute baby! Who would have known that this toddler would become the final boss of the version 10 that had given countless professional players a headache?

'Let's see what made you so fucking special.'

With a wisp of blue light, it shot towards the baby and blended with his body quietly.

Dylan saw the baby's brows knot, undergoing a clear struggle. It took a few minutes before the baby's face returned to calmness.

'As expected of a boss-level character! His soul actually managed to put a little more resistance than Yuan.'

One had to know that babies had weaker souls because they were not fully developed yet. However, the baby in front of him was really abnormal to be able to put a struggle against Dylan's soul fragment. One had to remember that Dylan was at the peak 3rd Grade Awakened Realm.

'Status!'

Solo Leveling Halo (Gold)

...

Dylan blinked for a while. He looked at the panel in a daze. 'So Hindu was his real name...'

This NPC's final boss in his past life was known as the Honored One. The only NPC on this entire planet to achieve level 2,000 also known as Honored Realm.

The title of "Honored One" carries a lot of glory and significance. Hindu wants to rule the world. He could do so with his powers. Unfortunately, the existence of immortal players had become a thorn in his eyes. Version 10 is all about stopping Hindu's world domination ambition.

Hindu was a kind person in the past. Yuan's death might have affected him and his overwhelming strength inflated his ego.

The only thing Dylan didn't expect was that Hindu has only one innate talent. After all, in contrast, Yuan has seven: four purple, two green, and one white.

Dylan clicked the gold innate talent curiously. He wants to see how powerful Hindu's innate talent is. His only reliance that pushed him to his heights single-handedly.

'Solo-Leveling Halo? What a domineering name.'

Solo-Leveling Halo (Gold)- Every two years, you will gain 100 levels unconditionally forever. As long as you live, you can cross a big realm with no bottlenecks. You are an existence that has the potential to dominate everything!

"..."

Dylan's eyes widened. His entire body froze. A few seconds passed but Dylan still didn't move.

What a fucking ultra cheat!

Why is it only gold!? Obviously, this innate talent should be at least comparable to his split soul!

Now, Dylan understood why Hindu has only one talent. Quality over quantity! Even among gold, this Solo-Leveling Halo might be top-ranked! Only a half step to Black Innate Talent...

What is the concept of leveling up to 100 levels every two years? Two years later, Hindu would reach the Noble Realm without doing anything. Four years later, step at the Saint Realm. Six years later? Become a damn Beyonder and ten years later? Step at the Ancestor Realm without the need to grind exps!

One has to remember that the higher the level. The harder it was to level up. A Saint might only take fifty years to become Beyonder. But a Beyonder might need a twp hundred years to become an Ancestor with a lot of bottlenecks.

This doesn't apply to Hindu. He would have a linear growth.

As long as Hindu doesn't die. He would forever level up, cross a big realm one step every two years, and become a supreme existence.

No wonder he could reach level 2,000 at the age of twenty. Even Dylan had to bow down in front of such talent. Hindu cannot be called a heaven-defying genius anymore. He shall be called an evildoer!

In front of Hindu, Dylan and Yuan's talent was nothing but trash. Dylan couldn't understand why Hindu was submissive to Yuan in the past. Just because of their deep bond?

Dylan took a deep breath. Then, he pinched Hindu's chubby cheeks. Suddenly, a flame converged, burning baby Hindu rapidly.

The baby didn't even cry. After all, inside was the soul fragment of Dylan. No longer Hindu's original soul.

Dylan sighed. 'I promised my soul fragment to let him control Hindu. However, plans couldn't keep up with the changes. I didn't expect such overpowered talent.'

'This innate talent is more useful to me. It would be a waste to leave it to my other self.'

'Who would have known I'd become a baby killer?'

Status!

...

Dylan looked at the addition of Solo-Leveling Halo below the talent section. The sides of his lips curled up.

If there's no accident. In two years, before the arrival of players, he would break through to Noble Realm even without the need to grind exps!

39+100 is 139. That would be the peak of 3rd grade Noble Realm.

However, Dylan doesn't plan to laze around. Even with this talent, he still intends to work hard to grind exp. Every drop counts. The faster he levels up, the stronger he will become and the higher his chances of survival.

If he could reach the Noble Realm through pure grinding of exps before that. Wouldn't he reach Saint Realm once the two-year marks arrive?

*Ding!*
