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 happens, one would be move suck the essence inside 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.

[You have absorbed the blood essence of a Dark red scaled alligator, Strength increases by 1, Const.i.tution 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 t.i.tle and the bonus stat point which I had plans for.

[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 hunt it absorbing the blood essence no longer helped increase my stats.

While most snakes were intimidated by the t.i.tle effect, strong enough vipers who could ignore the t.i.tle effect occasionally appeared as such they also became my prey.

I decided to feed the essene into the orb once again till I gain the t.i.tle.

['Swift Swordsmans.h.i.+p' has reached lv.10]

[You have received the t.i.tle '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.

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

As I was rus.h.i.+ng the hunt lately since I had little than 3 weeks of time left I didn't dismantle most of my victims as all I did was cover them by special leather to prevent it 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….

It was time to head to the central sector.
