Talent Swallowing System
Chapter 638 Essence Drain

A beast in this world can undergo evolution in two ways.

One method includes collecting the required materials and by following a specific procedure, the beast would undergo an evolution.

As for the second method, it is called Natural Evolution and it's very rare that only one in a million beasts can undergo this so-called Natural Evolution.

In short, undergoing a Natural Evolution is as hard as gaining enlightenment from Heavens.

Hence, Leo was excited when he saw the glowing Dream Butterfly but it disappeared along with the disappearance of the glow.

'Let's check what has just happened with the Dream Butterfly.'

Since there must be a reason why the Dream Butterfly glowed, Leo wanted to replace that reason.

Hence he used his talent to check the changes in the information of the Dream Butterfly.

[Quasi Divine Talent].

….

Beast Name: Dream Butterfly

Beast Strength: Level 10 Bronze Grade.

Beast Skills: Deep Sleep, Wind Gust, Essence Drain.

Essence Drain: The Dream Butterfly can drain the essence of dreams from sleeping individuals, leaving them fatigued and weakened upon awakening, while simultaneously gaining strength and vitality.

….

It was because there were two changes in the Dream Butterfly's information.

Its strength increased from level 9 to level 10 bronze grade.

Previously, the Dream Butterfly increased its strength from level 7 to level 9 bronze grade and Leo was curious when it would reach level 10 because it's been more than one and half years since it had any breakthrough.

'Finally, it broke through and it's only a step away from becoming a Silver Grade Beast.'

Leo clenched his fist in excitement because the Dream Butterfly was his first pet and if it could become a Silver Grade before he reached 10, he would be way ahead of others and gain some free contribution points.

That's right!

The young ones whose first pet reaches the silver grade would gain 1000 contribution points and Leo only required 10 contribution points to buy a pet egg from the Beast Ranch.

Three years ago, after Leo checked the information on the items he got from the masked assassin, he gave the Beast Essence Orbs to his Uncle Grey and briefly narrated the incident.

Uncle Grey was shocked and became furious and increased the security around Leo's courtyard.

'Adding the contribution points I received from Uncle Grey, I have 11000 contribution points; however, I have spent 10000 contribution points to exchange for two items from the Family's Treasure Room.'

Since Leo didn't have the use of the Beast Essence Orbs, Leo converted them into contribution points and bought two useful items.

One of them was Essecene of Nightmares which was a required material for the evolution of the Dream Butterfly whereas the other one was a Whitestone Rose that has the same properties as Moonstone Rose.

'Even though I still have 1000 contribution points, I am not in a hurry to buy the pet eggs now.'

Leo wanted to fully focus on evolving the Dream Butterfly into Nightmare Butterfly before buying his second pet egg.

At the same time, Leo asked Uncle Grey if he wanted to buy the Bronze Grade Essence Orbs with the contribution points; however, Leo learned that Beast Essence Orbs are rare and the essence orbs will be redeemed the moment they appear.

'If you want, you have to book for the Beast Essence Orbs and currently, there are more than 1000 orbs that were booked.'

This was the reply Leo got from his Uncle Grey, 'If you book now, you can get one beast essence orb in three to four years.'

'What if I offer a high price and buy it from those who bought the orb from the Treasure Room?'

'Then, you both will receive 100 whip lashes before banning you from buying anything from the Treasure Hall for the next 10 years.'

'Your father was very strict with rules and everyone is equal. Even I have to follow those rules…that damn brother of mine.'

Uncle Grey was frustrated with the rules that Valerian had set in the family, making everyone equal in the family.

However, Uncle Grey knew that because of that rule, even the low-level beast tamers and servants stayed loyal to the family and would protect it with their life on the line.

'Hm

When Leo learned about the long queue for the Beast Essence Orbs, he was disappointed. Nevertheless, he ordered one Bronze Essence Orb which would be delivered in three to four years.

However, the Dream Butterfly absorbed the energy from nature and increased its strength and successfully reached level 10 Bronze Grade and doesn't require a Bronze Grade Beast Essence Orb anymore.

'Anyway, I can use the Bronze Grade Beast Essence Orb for my second or third pet.'

Leo was sure that he would be having a bunch of pets in this world. Hence, no beast essence orb would be wasted.

'Also, once I enter one of my training zones, I can have an endless supply of Beast Essence Orbs.'

With that thought in mind, Leo stopped thinking much about the Beast Essence Orbs and checked the second change in the Dream Butterfly's information.

Other than the increase in its strength, the Dream Butterfly had learned a new skill [Essence Drain].

Essence Drain: The Dream Butterfly can drain the essence of dreams from sleeping individuals, leaving them fatigued and weakened upon awakening, while simultaneously gaining strength and vitality.

'With this, I can weaken the sleeping beast even more and kill it easily.'

Even if a beast is sleeping, it would be impossible to sneak on it unless you are stronger than the beast or have stealth skills.

With the help of the Essence Drain, the harmless-looking Dream Butterfly could approach any sleeping beast and slowly drain their essence to make them weak.

'I only need one more item and I can help the Dream Butterfly evolve into a Nightmare Butterfly.'

Leo really wanted to evolve the Dream Butterfly into a Nightmare Butterfly before starting his adventure in the world.

However, there was nothing much Leo could do about it.

"Leo, I found the item you are looking for."

Just as Leo thought that he had used up all his luck, Uncle Grey entered his courtyard with a jade box in his hand.
