Chereads / INSIGNIA : The Starlight bearer / Chapter 6 - Talent Awaken

Chapter 6 - Talent Awaken

Astrum's body suddenly emitted light to a radius of 5 meters, and then the light returned to his body. He felt his body full of vitality and his strength grew stronger.

Stella and Sidius just watched this scene in shock.

"Level 1? Without star marks?" Sidius was the first to wake up from his shock.

"Astrum, how are you feeling? Do you feel pain in your body?" Stella asked worriedly.

"No, I feel very energized"

"Astrum, you have now stepped into level 1 star power. This is truly miraculous, especially without star marks" Sidius explained to Astrum.

"Do You mean that I can use star energy like Father and Mother?"

"Not only using glyphs, but your power is also stronger than before"

"Now, try to use this new energy"

Then Astrum tried to run, he can now run twice as fast as before. He tried to jump and was able to jump twice as high as before. Euphoria enjoyed this new power he kept running for joy.

"It seems that 6 months of training was wasted." Sidus looked at Astrum from a distance.

"No, maybe it's because of the physical training that allows Astrum to receive energy from materials without getting hurt" Stella explained.

After a while, Astrum returned to them with a happy face; he was ready to receive training from Stella and Sidius.

"Uncle – Aunt, I am ready for the next training"

"No, what you need is to stabilize your energy," Sidius answered seriously

"Right, now calm down and stabilize the energy," Stella added

Then Astrum sat quietly and closed his eyes, he realized there was turbulent energy within him. He calmly dived into his consciousness, he felt himself floating in the middle of a big wave. He didn't panic, he calmed himself down and gradually the energy waves slowed down and finally calmed down.

His breathing became more regular, his pulse became more regular again like normal conditions. Then he opened his eyes and got up from his seat.

By the time he woke up from his meditation, he only realized from Stella and Sidius that it had already been 3 hours.

Finally, they decided that today's training was over with surprising results.

Astrum returned to his room accompanied by Lilo, he didn't feel tired, he felt his body full of vitality.

He then tried his previous experiment, trying to combine the two types of glyphs. Lilo climbed on Astrum's shoulder, continuing to stare at the two glyphs in front of him.

Astrum was currently diving into his deepest consciousness, he found the two glyphs hovering in front of him. This time he intends to combine the two glyphs.

The two glyphs drew closer and were about to merge, but a point of black light appeared in the middle of the distance between the two glyphs.

The black light acted like a bridge connecting the two glyphs.

"Zrrrrrrttt" The two glyphs merged to form a new glyph with black light and white halo, slowly the glyph's light turned plain white.

At this moment, Lilo's eyes also turned pitch black and Astrum didn't realize this.

In his consciousness, Astrum touched the glyph and the glyph split into several different glyphs.

The glyphs he learned from Stella and Sidus all appeared but with white light instead of cyan and gold light.

Among the glyphs, he noticed that there were several different glyphs. Glyphs that he had never studied before. He tried to study the new glyph.

From the outside, Astrum and Lilo's bodies were enveloped by white light, forming a large sphere shell.

The desk clock alarm rang indicating that it was morning. Astrum was awakened by the alarm, and the shell of light that enveloped him and Lilo slowly faded away. Astrum opened his eyes and realized that his learning took 8 hours, and his body didn't feel tired at all.

He prepared himself for the next training from Stella and Sidius. When he meets them, he tells them that his experiment was successful and that he obtained a new glyph.

"What? Did your experiment work? And you got a new glyph?" Sidius was shocked and amazed.

"Show me the new glyph you got," Stella asked.

Astrum didn't pick up the rock, this time he drew a glyph in the air. The glyph glowed and floated in the air.

"You can make glyphs without media already?" Stella asked in surprise.

"I don't know, there is an urge to try this glyph directly without using stones," Astrum replied calmly.

"What is the use of this glyph?" Sidius looked at the glyph, he felt he recognized the glyph but he could not figure out the function of this glyph.

"It's a mix of strength and defense"

"Hah?"

Then Astrum took the glyph and attached it to his left hand, the glyph wrapped around Astrum's wrist to form a bracelet.

Then Astrum tried to punch the air. "Boom" there was a shockwave that emerged from the blow.

Sidius looked at him wide-eyed, then he came back to his senses.

"The strength is good, what kind of defense do you mean?"

"Uncle, try hitting" Astrum was already prepared by crossing his arms.

Sidius tilted his head and looked at Astrum strangely "You want to take my hit?"

"Yes, uncle try it"

Sidius tries with 1% of his strength, when he hits Astrum; he felt like hitting the wall.

"Uncle, try to be stronger"

This time he tried 10% of his strength, when he hit there was a feeling like a wall was blocking him but was penetrable.

"Bruaaakk!!!" Astrum was bounced as far as 10 meters from Sidius' punch.

"Plak!" There was a loud slap from the back of Sidius' head.

"Stupid! Did you try to kill him? Use 10% of your power on Astrum." Stella scolded Sidius, then he rushed towards Astrum to provide healing.

After a while, Astrum had recovered and there were no serious injuries on his body.

"Hey kid, sorry for using my power too much" Sidius apologized sincerely.

"It's okay uncle, it proves that the defense is still not strong"

"Astrum, you are currently level 1and your glyph has basic strength, now let's try to increase your level slowly" Stella suggested while taking out some materials.

"At the low-rank tier (level 1 to 30) you only need enough materials, but when you move up to the middle rank (level 31 and above) you need experience and understanding of your energy. So right now, try to use these materials to increase your level."

This time Stella prepared a place for Astrum to level up. Astrum sits in the middle and is surrounded by some material.

Stella formed a glyph on the ground to help Astrum cultivation. The moment the glyph lit up, all the materials became a mist of energy and entered Astrum's body. Astrum this time felt himself being hit by a wave of energy greater than before.

He tried to calm down, the brunt of the energy wave did not stop; each wave is followed by a larger wave behind it.

He sat still feeling himself being hit by the endless waves of energy until after a while he finally got to grips with this energy wave.

Its body emitted white light, continuously spreading to a radius of 20 meters.

Stella and Sidus who were only 10 meters away from Astrum felt this wave of white light sweep over them.

They were surprised because this energy wave gave them a subtle energy sensation and increased their energy.

After a while, the white light returned to Astrum's body, and the situation calmed down again.

Astrum opened his eyes and realized that his body was full of energy even 10 times more than before.

He looked at Stella and Sidius who were closing their eyes, their bodies shining with their light.

Then they opened their eyes and looked at each other in surprise.

"Your level?" Both said at the same time.

They noticed that their levels had each increased by 1 and then turned to look at Astrum.

They were surprised to see Astrum's level because currently, Astrum had increased to level 5; it is a 4 level increase in one step.

"Astrum seems like the awakening of star power unlocks hidden talents, and your talent is a very unique talent," said Sidius.

"Talent awakening?"

"Yes, any living being that integrates with star power will increase its basic abilities and also sometimes awaken unique talents."

Each insignia has different abilities, while skills can be learned talent is innate that arises when integrated.

Sidius realized that Astrum had a unique talent, which was to level up those around him and this talent was a rare talent that even Stella and Sidius had never seen.

"So Uncle and Aunt also have special talents?"

"Of course, my talent has evolved. This talent is not useful much in combat. You realize that living things on this planet are evolving faster than usual, it's because they use my talent and energy" Stella explained.

"My talent is Survival," Sidius said his talent proudly.

"Survival? What kind of talent is that?"
