BXBX NOVEL Chapter 209: Weakened Combined Talent [Clarity of All Thoughts]
He had previously used Star Insight to check the attributes of these sisters.
Their various skills were obviously far inferior to his own, being a cheat-level existence.
Enhancing attributes would be good, as Sosia and Sonis were both max-level third class, which would provide a significant boost. However, in the end, Sterl chose to acquire their weakened talents.
The Moon Law still subtly reminded him that acquiring Sosia and Sonis\'s talents, even in a weakened form, would be highly beneficial.
In Sterl\'s vision, Sosia\'s talent was—
[Life Glow (S)]
Effect: Increases constitution and strength attributes by 10%, effect increases by 30%. You can transfer up to 30% of the attributes of a player with the talent [Pure Will (S)] to your own constitution and strength.
Sonis\'s talent was—
[Pure Will (S)]
Effect: Increases spirit and agility attributes by 10%, effect increases by 30%. You can transfer up to 30% of the attributes of a player with the talent [Life Glow (S)] to your own spirit and agility.
These talents, in terms of value alone, were slightly weaker than Sterl\'s divine descent at the S level. However, they had the effect of converting each sister\'s attributes to their own advantageous attributes.
Simply put, Sosia, as the younger sister, could transfer Sonis\'s constitution and strength to herself. In previous instances, she wore leather armor and acted as a melee unit.
Sonis, as the elder sister, could transfer Sosia\'s spirit and agility to herself, dressing up as a mage in previous instances.
"No wonder they were able to enter the Extreme Trials through regular channels," Sterl nodded silently. The attribute conversion effect alone made the sisters extremely powerful in joint combat!
Not to mention their professions complemented each other. Sosia\'s profession, [Frostblade Assassin], could transfer Sonis\'s injuries to herself, while Sonis\'s profession, [Forge Witch], could share all attribute enhancement effects with Sosia.
"These two sisters actually have some cultivation value," Sterl pondered.
Compared to Teresa and Daphne, whose combat power couldn\'t keep up with Sterl\'s pace, these sisters had extremely strong talents. Even if Sterl didn\'t invest points in them, Sosia and Sonis could quickly advance to legend...
Of course, that\'s for later. At this moment, Sterl followed his intuition and instinct and chose to accept the sisters\' weakened talents.
[You have acquired Life Glow (B).]
[You have acquired Heart of the Spring (B).]
[Unknown data triggered...]
[The two talents you acquired are being combined.]
[You have acquired the special talent: Clarity of All Thoughts (A).]
"Not bad, got an A-level talent," Sterl touched his chin and nodded. Combining two B-level talents into one A-level talent felt like a win to him!
At the same time, he opened his panel to see if he could allocate points to his newly acquired A-level talent.
The answer was—of course, no.
Sterl could faintly sense that to enhance this A-level talent, he would need to allocate points to his two deputy stars, improving their talents, which would then feedback to him.
However, Sterl had no intention of exposing his cheat information or investing points in these sisters at this time.
He merely looked at the effects of his new talent and nodded in satisfaction.
[Clarity of All Thoughts (A)]
Effect: You can freely convert your attributes (e.g., reduce one attribute by a fixed value and add it to another attribute). A maximum of 15% can be extracted from all attributes.
Cooldown Time: 1 minute (Using it again within the minute will double the consumption, with no upper limit on stacking).
"Interesting!"
With this talent, Sterl could reduce up to 15% of any of his three other attributes and add it to a single attribute, converting his base attributes.
This meant that one of his base attributes could directly increase by 45%, and with various bonuses calculated, this 45% could potentially exceed 100%!
Now, Sterl could instantly boost a specific attribute during combat!
When facing a deadly move, he could convert to constitution to withstand it; when releasing an attack, he could convert to spirit for a burst; when maneuvering, he could convert to agility.
This significantly enhanced his combat capabilities!
As for converting to strength...
He generally wouldn\'t need it, but there might be situations where an emergency boost to strength would be necessary.
Moreover, Clarity of All Thoughts had a very low cooldown time. In urgent situations, he could forcefully drive it at the cost of double consumption, making this A-level talent effective in almost any of Sterl\'s battles!
Overall, recruiting these two deputy stars was worth it! It gave Sterl a high-quality talent!
"Perhaps I should reconsider if I ever think about replacing these sisters."
Then, Sterl calmly sat on the sofa, dispersing all the eerie energy formed by the Flowing Water Law.
He allowed the delicate sisters to lie on the ground, digesting the pain inflicted on their bodies.
After about ten seconds, they slowly got up, still with an aura of fear and unease. Sterl casually asked.
"Tell me, what exactly do you want?"
At this moment, Sosia and Sonis, without any hesitation, proactively spoke, "Master, we did not leave any traces before coming here."
"Please sever all ties with us immediately."
After awakening and advancing their professions, the deputy star and primary star systems did not seem to have been strengthened, but Sterl realized that the influence of the deputy star had increased significantly.
In just a few seconds, the sisters were already considering his well-being, even at the cost of giving up their original goal of presenting the Red Pill.
"When I say speak, you speak." Sterl\'s indifferent words made the sisters even more terrified. After a few seconds of hesitation, they displayed a loyal demeanor and began to talk about their situation.
In Simple Terms, Sosia and Sonis, the two sisters, belong to the Red Falcon clan, a race created by the Nether Soul clan through some unknown means.
The females of the Red Falcon clan are often more flexible and possess a naturally high charm. Even their internal structures are extraordinary—something Sterl had already experienced firsthand the previous day.
The males of the Red Falcon clan, on the other hand, produce a highly valuable gem. Once they reach adulthood, they can be killed to extract this gem.
As a result, the Nether Soul clan has always treated the Red Falcon clan as a prized commodity for sale. Additionally, all players from the Red Falcon clan are forced to sign a slave contract by the Nether Soul clan at birth, rendering them unable to resist for life.
Sosia and Sonis, however, are geniuses born within the Red Falcon clan. They possess an exceedingly rare twin talent. From a young age, they were trained by the Nether Soul clan, including being taught certain bedroom skills.
Their purpose had long been undecided, but it was recently determined that the sisters would be presented to a genius of the Nether Soul clan in the Hall of Valor—an individual with a double S-level talent and a mid-tier legendary rank.
The Nether Soul clan has a special ability to refine and devour long-term controlled slaves, with a small chance of gaining their talents and skills. The longer the slaves are tamed, the higher the probability of success.
The Red Falcon clan, along with other races controlled by the Nether Soul clan, follows a similar pattern: ordinary slaves are sold, while those with talents are absorbed by the geniuses of the Nether Soul clan.
This time, after Sosia and Sonis were sent into the Hall of Valor and completed the standard trials, they would be controlled by the slave marks and compelled to seek out their "master" from the Nether Soul clan.
However, due to their bold decision to choose the extreme trial, they had managed to temporarily escape the control of the slave marks, as they were locked within the Hall of Valor before the trial began.
But now that the extreme trial had ended, once the mid-tier legendary member of the Nether Soul clan remembered them and reactivated the slave marks, the sisters would have no ability to resist and would willingly offer everything they had.
"We\'ve always tried to hide our talents."
"That\'s how we got the opportunity to start the extreme trial."
"Otherwise, the Nether Soul clan would never have allowed us to join the Hall of Valor. They would have let someone else from the clan absorb us instead."
"The reason we offered the Red Pill to you is because, before we were refined, the Nether Soul clan would have taken the Red Pill from us anyway."
"So, we thought it better to use it as a bargaining chip to seek your help."
"And it\'s the only bargaining chip we have left..."
The sisters\' expressions were filled with despair, and Sterl was left speechless after seeing the state of their inventory.
Despite their excellent talents and formidable combat capabilities, their equipment was utter garbage, only third-class bronze level. Their inventory contained only basic recovery items.
It could be said that they had a high probability of failing even the standard trials in the Hall of Valor, let alone the extreme trial.
If not for Sterl\'s intervention, these sisters would have been dead without a doubt.
"What was your original plan? Tell me," Sterl asked, feeling relieved knowing that their immediate enemy was just a mid-tier legendary figure.
Clarity of All Thoughts seemed very useful, and he needed more people for his guild. Helping his subordinates with their dangers was part of the responsibility.
He only asked casually, but Sosia and Sonis became extremely excited: "Master, this matter might put you in danger..."
Their tone was serious.
It wasn\'t that they genuinely believed Sterl\'s strength was inferior to that of the Nether Soul clan\'s legendary figure, but the fear ingrained in their instincts made them exaggerate the power of the Nether Soul legend.
Sterl\'s expression shifted to one of impatience, forcing the sisters to continue speaking.
