Before Finley could crush the pill, Darren stopped him at once.
"I've talked to your real body about this. He told me that the pill belongs to you. It wasn't meant to help you," Darren said.
"Belongs to me?" Finley was confused.
"Well, that probably means it's safe to take it," Lindsay said.
Upon hearing her suggestion, Finley accepted the pill without hesitation. He wondered what his real body meant when he said the pill belonged to him.
He popped the pill into his mouth and let it melt on his tongue. It didn't have any taste at all. Suddenly, something seemed to brew inside his body. It was as if some strong wind was filling him up and spreading throughout his meridians.
"It's talent!"
This sensation ran through his meridians until it reached his mind.
He suddenly felt refreshed. He could feel his talent growing quickly.
At the same time, strange godly energy rushed into his body. It helped improve his physical strength and enhance his cultivation base.
"This..." Despite all these, however, he didn't feel happy at all. If this enhanced strength and talent wasn't his real body's idea of help, then what was it?
"Stop worrying about it. I took all these things from you over the past years. All of these used to be yours."
Just as his mood started plummeting, his real body's cold voice echoed inside his mind.
"This explains why my cultivation base takes so long to improve despite my hard work." He smiled wryly and continued, "You can extract my cultivation base, but you can never touch my talent. The pill you gave me had increased it. So technically, you're helping me already, isn't it?"
"Idiot! We share the same soul, so that means we have the same level of talent. But since you're only a piece of the soul, you only inherited a part of the talent. When you entered the Primitive Wilderness, your soul was slowly becoming whole again. Thus, your talent began improving as well. I took a part of that talent from you, but now I have returned it. From now on, I won't interfere with your affairs anymore. So you better take care then."
The cold voice filled Finley's head. As soon as it finished talking, it began to fade away.
He felt relieved upon hearing his real body's explanation.
"You've finally reached the top level of the Domain God Realm, Finley! This is amazing!" Darren exclaimed as soon as he sensed Finley's cultivation level.
"Humph. I knew there was something wrong with my pace when it comes to developing my strength. Now that I have my cultivation base and talent back, I'm sure it'll be easier for me to grow my power."
"What's your current level of talent now?"
"The top level of the Spiritual Domain Degree. My real body told me that my talent can increase further if my soul becomes whole. I may even reach the same level as my real body," Finley said proudly.
"Not bad. That means we both have the same level now. If what you're saying is true, then your real talent must be terrifying!" Darren enthused.
"Of course it is." Finley nodded his head.
"You two are still too weak. My talent is currently in the Divine Domain Degree, and you're still too far behind me." Lindsay looked at them casually.
"Is the Divine Domain Degree the highest level of talent in the world?" Darren asked curiously.
"Of course not," she replied. "As far as I know, the level beyond the Divine Domain Degree is the Extreme Domain Degree. And beyond the Extreme Domain Degree, it's said that there is a Supreme Degree talent which is the most powerful talent in the world."
"Are you sure?"
"Not really." She rolled her eyes at Darren and continued, "I've only heard it from my father. I don't know if it's true or not. One thing's for sure though. My father said no one had ever reached the top level Supreme Degree talent since this world was born."
"In your opinion, what kind of talent do Finley's real body and Lord Starry Sword have?" Darren asked.
