2: Chapter 2: Return of Cultivation Power! Seventh Grade of the Hidden Edge Realm!

SSS-rank Talent? Devouring Emperor Body?

Hearing this series of system notification sounds, Li Mo was somewhat bewildered.

Of course, he knew what a system was.

However, ever since awakening an SS-rank Talent several years ago, Li Mo had already considered himself fortunate.

If not for that accident, even without a system, Li Mo could have lived a smooth life in this world.

Generally speaking, an SS-rank Talent would lead to becoming a powerhouse who dominates a region.

Then, Li Mo slowly calmed down.

He seemed to have just heard the system mention something about a system activation prerequisite task.

The content of this prerequisite task seemed to be that he had to join the army!

But regarding this prerequisite task, Li Mo had not received any prior hints!

In other words, if Li Mo had not been sent by the school to join the army on the front lines, he might never have been able to activate this system in his entire life!

The only thing Li Mo regretted was that his SS-rank Talent, Flame of the Heavens, had just recovered only to be replaced by the system with the Devouring Emperor Body.

One must know that the Flame of the Heavens could be considered outstanding among Fire Talents.

Fortunately, this Devouring Emperor Body was an SSS-rank Talent, a talent that only existed in legends. To this day, other than those legendary big shots, Li Mo had never heard of anyone possessing an SSS-rank Talent.

Li Mo couldn't wait to check the effects of this SSS-rank Talent.

[Devouring Emperor Body]: A peerless talent that can devour all matter and convert everything into one's own power.

After possessing this talent, one gains the unique devour points attribute, which can be used to strengthen all of one's other abilities.

It holds the potential to raise all power to its limit!

Passive effects of this talent: cultivation speed increased by 200%, base attributes increased by 300%, Natural Type abilities strengthened by 100%, and physical technique abilities strengthened by 50%.

Seeing the effects of this talent, Li Mo was immediately shocked.

The effect of devouring everything to strengthen power is not worth mentioning for now, as Li Mo hasn't experimented with it yet.

The passive effects alone were astonishing enough!

A 200% increase in cultivation speed—Li Mo's Flame of the Heavens only increased cultivation speed by 80%...

And there was a full two-fold increase in base attributes.

The so-called base attributes refer to a person's strength, speed, blood qi value, and other attributes.

In this world, there is a scientific instrument that can measure a person's base attributes.

In many cases, base attributes can reveal how strong or weak a person is.

A two-fold increase in base attributes is enough for Li Mo to easily surpass all martial artists of the same rank.

This means that even if Li Mo had no abilities, he could easily crush opponents based on base attributes alone!

This is what is known as life cultivation!

And besides life cultivation, this talent also strengthens other abilities; it is simply perfect!

"Is this the power of an SSS-rank Talent? No wonder those who possess such talents are all legendary figures." Li Mo let out a soft exclamation, unable to snap out of his daze for a long time.

Just then, a system notification suddenly sounded in Li Mo's ears again.

"Ding! Because you have awakened the Devouring Emperor Body talent and completed the system activation prerequisite task, the system will now return to you all the cultivation lost between the start and completion of the task!"

Before the voice finished, Li Mo suddenly felt an infinite amount of power being poured into his body.

The next moment, Li Mo felt his cultivation seemingly increase significantly.

Li Mo instantly understood everything; that car accident from several years ago was not an accident at all.

Or rather, it wasn't the car accident that caused him to lose his original SS-rank Talent, but the activation of the system that caused Li Mo to temporarily seal his talent!

It was just that the car accident caused Li Mo to completely lose consciousness, which led to him not knowing about the system task!

Li Mo had always felt it was strange. He had visited many famous doctors, but none of them could find any problems with his body.

Furthermore, there was no precedent for a car accident causing someone to lose their talent.

A blessing in disguise!

If not for this accidental withdrawal from school, Li Mo might not have been able to possess this great opportunity!

After Li Mo sensed the power throughout his body, he immediately murmured: "Hidden Edge Realm Seventh Grade! I actually jumped four ranks!"

In this world, the classification of martial artist realms is, respectively: Cangfeng, Foundation Establishment, Blood Transformation, Yin-Yang, Three Volts, Four Symbols, Heaven and Earth, and finally the Martial God Realm.

Among them, two realms are the most difficult: one is the Hidden Edge Realm, and the other is the Heaven and Earth Realm.

The Hidden Edge Realm is the most difficult foundational stage for a martial artist to endure since awakening their talent.

And the Heaven and Earth Realm is for a regional overlord; there are probably very few people in the whole world who can reach it.

Li Mo had studied and trained diligently for three full years, but he had only reached the third grade of the Hidden Edge Realm.

Because his E-rank talent was simply too inferior, even with day and night of arduous training, he could not make up for the fundamental gap.

Generally speaking, when ordinary martial artists enter a Martial Arts University, their common realm is between the fourth and fifth grade of the Hidden Edge Realm.

For example, in the class at Starry Sky University where Li Mo was, the average realm of the students was the fifth grade of the Hidden Edge Realm, and those with exceptionally good grades could reach the sixth grade of the Hidden Edge Realm.

This was already the result of the students at Starry Sky University being good seedlings selected from all over the country.

As for Li Mo's current seventh grade of the Hidden Edge Realm, it is equivalent to a rare gem.

Originally, if Li Mo had continued to possess the Flame of the Heavens, he should have been at about this realm now. The system had compensated Li Mo for all the foundation he had lost over these years.

Li Mo clenched his fists, feeling the joy of recovering something lost.

The suffering of these past few years was finally not in vain!

Then, Li Mo couldn't wait to check his base attribute panel. One must know that the Devouring Emperor Body is capable of strengthening one's base attributes by five times.

This meant that Li Mo's current strength was much stronger than an ordinary seventh-grade Hidden Edge Realm practitioner.

Sure enough, checking it brought a pleasant surprise.

System Name: Supreme Martial God System. Host: Li Mo. Strength: 255. Speed: 165. Blood Qi Value: 75. Realm: Hidden Edge Realm Seventh Grade. Talent: [Devouring Emperor Body]. Mental Method: None. Combat Technique: None. devour points: 0. System Points: 0.

A three-fold increase in base attributes is simply extraordinary.

Generally speaking, the strength value of an ordinary tiger is around 40. But Li Mo's current strength has reached 255!

The strength of an ordinary seventh-grade Hidden Edge Realm martial artist is at most only 100 points. This kind of increase is simply huge!

However, Li Mo did not know that the passive effect of the Devouring Emperor Body was only its most insignificant aspect. The real surprise was still to come...

"Ding! Because you have awakened the Devouring Emperor Body for the first time, the system rewards you with one opportunity to choose an ability talent. This ability talent can receive evolutionary bonuses as your devour points increase, but the initial level will be relatively low. Would you like to make your selection now?"
