Omni-Mastery

'Essence absorption'

This ability itself wasn't very complicated, all one had to do was touch the fading essence so that it would start entering one's body. Once that is done, one would be able to suck the essence inside of as if he is able to control it.

It was pretty similar to the legends of meditating and cycling the Qi/Ki through the meridians. However, it was just similar in theory nothing more.

It was supposedly more complicated than that, according to the book I read about it. However, it was quite different for me on execution.....

>>>>

[You have absorbed the blood essence of a Dark red scaled alligator, Strength increases by 1, Constitution increases by 1.]

[You have absorbed EP under the effect of a level limiter, as such your level doesn't increase]

The effect of absorption kept lowering as my stats increased further while hunting the similar type low level monsters caused such effect as well.

So, I decided to hunt no more than 100 crocs to get the title and the bonus stat points.

[You have absorbed the blood essence of a brown scaled Crocodile, Strength increases by 1.]

[You have absorb….]

[You have absorbed the blood essence of a Red spotted Viper, Agility increases by 2.]

[You ha…]

>>>>

[You have absorbed the blood essence of a black scaled alligator.]

After roughly 5 days of the croc hunting, absorbing crocodile blood essence no longer helped increase my stats.

While most snakes were intimidated by the title effect, strong enough vipers who could ignore the title effect occasionally appeared as such they also became my prey. So, I decided to feed the essence into the orb once again till I gain the title.

['Swift Swordsmanship' has reached lv.10]

[You have received the title 'Croc Hunter']

[Achievement 'Hunting 100 alligators' recorded]

[You have received 2 bonus stat point for your achievement]

As I have been fighting the crocs with my sharpest weapon in hand the [Lightning Cloud] Sword, my sword skill's beginner level was also easily maxed out. After all crocodile scales were quite the tough target to pierce, only [Lightning Cloud] was capable of slicing through it easily.

Back at the cave, I held the newly sharpened dagger in hand as I approached a pile of corpses.

As I was rushing the hunt lately since I had little than 3 weeks of time left, I didn't dismantle most of my hunt's victims. All I did was cover them by special leather to prevent the corpses from rotting, while the blood was mostly drained by either the orb or me using essence absorption.

So, before leaving the swamp sector I decided to wholeheartedly dismantle these corpses in hope of gaining the skill.

So far, the only way to learn skills through 'Omni-Mastery' was through knowledge. At first, I thought it meant a specific method of acquiring knowledge.

However, from my experience this far, it wasn't restricted by methods. Learning by reading, direct learning and special knowledge from reality were all possible methods.

All I had to do was put in enough effort to consolidate this knowledge and I would be able to grow it in different way.

Thus, I wasn't worried about acquiring this skill, it was just a matter of time….
