Talent: Your Spiritual Root Is Different from Ordinary People

Talent: Your Spiritual Root Is Different from Ordinary People

Su Xing froze when he saw this.

Su Nian'an was his younger sister. They had grown up together as childhood sweethearts—how could she suddenly have died?

Filled with doubt, Su Xing continued reading.

Your parents told you that Su Nian'an had died while leveling up in a Dungeon.

You were devastated, drowning your sorrows in drink every day and living in a drunken stupor.

Your good brother Yu Yan found you. He deeply regretted your sister's death.

He comforted you, and you emerged from your grief.

He gave you a large sum of money, which you used to invest in a Professional equipment shop.

You quickly made a fortune, becoming a somewhat famous secondhand equipment dealer in the Capital.

Three years later, terrible news arrived: your good brother Yu Yan had died as well.

Su Xing fell silent when he saw this.

Yu Yan had been his college roommate, as well as his closest brother in college.

Moreover, Yu Yan was a Hidden Profession Professional. He was considered one of the brightest talents in all of Kyoto Vocational University—how could he have simply died like that?

You attended Yu Yan's funeral.

At the funeral, you learned that Yu Yan had died in a Dungeon.

You learned from your classmates that, over the years, most of the students from your grade had died in Dungeons.

You were shocked. What kind of Dungeon could have killed hundreds of powerful Professionals?

Yet they were unwilling to reveal any details.

The Sense of Crisis in your heart erupted like never before, and you decided to cultivate diligently.

You spent a year advancing to Body Refinement Stage Nine.

You continued cultivating, but your cultivation could no longer advance even an inch.

Left with no choice, you shifted your focus to business.

A sudden market fluctuation caused the prices of Recovery Potion-type items to skyrocket, while no one showed any interest in your equipment.

You went bankrupt. By then, you were already thirty-two, no longer possessing the lofty ambitions of your youth.

With thirty million in savings, you prepared to return to the countryside and retire.

Four years later, you became a well-known wealthy man in the village.

Seeing that you were single, the village matchmaker wanted to introduce Ruhua from the village entrance to you.

You looked at Ruhua's face and politely declined.

You had thought your days would continue peacefully like this.

One day, while enjoying the cool air in your courtyard, you looked up and saw a Giant Beast appear in the sky, blotting out the heavens and covering the earth.

In a daze, you saw several golden figures fly into the sky and attack the Giant Beast.

The Giant Beast opened its mouth and swallowed the entire Great Xia whole.

You died at the age of thirty-six!

This simulation has ended!

First simulation reward may be claimed for free. You may choose one of the following rewards: Spiritual Root Holder (Talent), Body Refinement Stage Nine (Cultivation)

Looking at the simulation results before him, Su Xing sank into thought.

After Fifteen Years, a powerful Demonic Beast would descend upon the Real World and swallow the entire Great Xia directly!

Su Xing had never even heard of such a powerful Demonic Beast.

Perhaps not a single Professional in the entire human race was currently capable of resisting it.

Thinking of this, Su Xing gave a bitter laugh.

"After Fifteen Years is the End of the World, then... Sigh, I never expected that after the human race had resisted for over a thousand years, we would Finally Still be exterminated by the Demon Race."

Su Xing sighed, but then shook his head.

"Who knows what will happen After Fifteen Years... I should focus on what's in front of me first!"

Su Xing turned his gaze toward the two rewards he could choose from and fell into a dilemma.

The Spiritual Root Holder Talent or the cultivation of Body Refinement Stage Nine—which should he choose?

After hesitating for a while, Su Xing Made Up His Mind.

"I choose Spiritual Root Holder!"

At the same time, an invisible change seemed to occur within Su Xing. His Five Senses became much clearer.

"So this is what it feels like to possess a Spiritual Root?"

Su Xing suddenly noticed something. Then he secretly glanced downward.

Hiss~

He had never expected being different from ordinary people to come with such benefits?

Su Xing was delighted.

The reason he had chosen the Spiritual Root was naturally because this Talent had been randomly obtained. He still yearned for immortal cultivation in his heart, so he absolutely could not let such a Talent slip away.

As for the cultivation of Body Refinement Stage Nine, although it would also be useful to the current Su Xing, as long as he continued simulating in the Simulator, cultivating back to Body Refinement Stage Nine would not be difficult.

After choosing his Talent, Su Xing wanted to continue the simulation, but he received a system prompt.

Ding. This simulation costs 200 Energy Points. Current Simulation Energy: 0. Simulation cooldown in progress. Please recharge Energy and simulate again after one week.

Only then did Su Xing recall that every simulation required Energy, and there was also a one-week cooldown.

The cooldown was easy enough to deal with. He could simply wait a week.

But how was he supposed to obtain Energy?

Ding. This Simulator can absorb all substances containing energy and convert them into Simulation Energy!

Su Xing's heart stirred when he heard this, and he hurriedly pulled out more than a dozen pieces of White Equipment.

"Absorb!"

White Equipment detected: Sharp Dagger. Successfully absorbed. Obtained 5 Energy Points.

White Equipment detected: Little Princess's Gauntlets. Successfully absorbed. Obtained 8 Energy Points.

White Equipment detected...

Remaining Simulator Energy: 103 points.

Su Xing's face darkened when he received the prompt.

Of the more than dozen pieces of White Equipment, the most had provided only 9 Energy Points, while the least had given as few as 2.

Yet they had only Restored To 103 Energy Points, still nearly half short of 200!

"Damn it, a piece of White Equipment costs at least 1,000 Great Xia Coin. In the blink of an eye, I've spent tens of thousands?"

Su Xing's heart ached, but he still took out more than a dozen additional pieces of equipment and recharged his Energy to 205 points.

"Ah, I've used up almost all the equipment I collected over the past three years. If I recharge any more, I'll probably have to spend money buying it!"

Su Xing sighed. Fortunately, he had often gone Dungeon Crawling to farm gold and power-leveled others over the past three years, so he still had over a million in savings.

"I should buy more White Equipment and convert it into Energy!"

Su Xing took out his phone and spent several hours.

On the Professional Online trading platform, he bought over a hundred pieces of White Equipment in one go and converted them all into Energy.

Remaining Simulator Energy: 713 points.

Looking at the Energy displayed in the Simulator, Su Xing felt deeply satisfied.

"Now I just need to wait a week!"

Knock, knock, knock!

Just then, a chubby figure walked into the dormitory.

"Old Su, there are six Freshmen girls waiting for you outside the dorm... One of them is a real knockout! Hehe, you really know how to have fun, kid!"

The speaker was none other than Yu Yan, nicknamed Fatty Yu—a Fire Mage Hidden Profession Professional, the Blazing Flame Mage!

Su Xing knew that the junior girls who had hired him to power-level them had arrived, so he gave Fatty Yu a complicated look.

"Got it. They're here to have me take them Dungeon Crawling to level up! I'll be back tonight—remember to save me some food!"

Su Xing Patted Fatty Yu on the shoulder and left the dormitory building.

At the dormitory entrance, Su Xing saw six junior girls dressed in dazzling, flowery fashion.

Su Xing spoke bluntly.

"You all know the rules, right? One Dungeon run costs 2,000 per person, and all equipment and items that drop belong to me!"

The girls nodded repeatedly. Only one of them, a girl with delicate features and a fresh, simple outfit, showed hesitation on her face.

Su Xing's heart stirred, but he did not expose her. He merely said,

"Then follow me!"

Before long, everyone arrived at a Dungeon outside the city called Ten Mile Slope.

This Dungeon regularly spawned a type of Demonic Beast known as the Boar Demon.

They ranged only from Bronze Level 5 to Level 10. They gave decent experience to newly classed Professionals, but were not easy to handle.

But for Su Xing, who was at Body Refinement Stage 6, they were practically one sword strike per child.

An hour later, each of the junior girls had gained a level.

Su Xing received the ten thousand Great Xia Coin in payment as he wished, then looked toward the junior girl who had been unable to produce the money and still wore a hesitant expression.

"Um, Senior... I'm a little short on cash right now. Could I..."
