BXBX NOVEL 542 Chapter 540
In the end, Leon decided not to have a split personality. He doubted that another Leon inside his head would be as boring and depressing as himself, but he didn\'t want to bet one hundred million coins on it. Regardless, thanks to that, Leon discovered a new hobby... analyzing the tomes he could buy using Ilyana\'s vault.
"I already knew I\'m a brute even when it comes to magic. Yuki already said that to me before, after all," Leon frowned while looking at the semi-shop. "But this is insane... the things one can learn using mana is stupidly broad."
Although the tomes Leon could buy were quite questionable, their effects and powers were very interesting. Mind Control, Mind Reading, Mind Exchange, Mind Summoning... Leon was quite interested in the last one, but to buy it, he would need to spend ten billion coins. Although he could obtain it for free, Leon was quite certain that Lion\'s Pride would drop to level one if he does so. There was even a chance that he would lose the skill.
"Well, no need to rush..." Leon said. "I should start with the cheaper tomes and gradually move to the most expensive spells."
Leon also found a skill called Mind Palace, most likely that was the skill Sekundez used to create that dimension. Of course, the power to make things pass faster inside the Mind Palace belonged to her status as a spirit of the time. Still, it was quite impressive that she could use such a skill that wasn\'t related to her magic affinity.

"Hehehe, this will be fun," Leon smirked.
Leon spent ten million coins in order to learn Feral mind and fifty million just to learn Mind Melding. Although the first wouldn\'t be that useful since Leon was a mage, the second would grant Leon awesome opportunities if he uses that alongside Monolingualism in some monsters... he would be able to read their memories and learn their special abilities!
Leon found the skill of Omnilingualism, but he had to spend one hundred billion coins to obtain the power to talk with every single thing in the universe. Although it was useful, that would be one of the last things he would probably learn. For the time being, he was satisfied with learning skills from animal-like monsters.
"I guess even if I don\'t intend to use it in real combat, I should learn Steel Claws from the velociraptors," Leon rubbed his chin. "If anything, that will prove my theory that by combining those skills, I will be able to learn how to replicate their powers."
In the end, Leon also had to use Sleep alongside Zoolingualism and Mind Melding because Velociraptors weren\'t known for their love for humans. They just love them like a human being loves chicken...

...
The cost of mana was insane, but Leon managed to find the knowledge he was looking for rather quickly because the velociraptor he chose just tried to attack him using that skill. Although Leon was reading the monster\'s memories, it was like he was reading sentences. It was more like he was experimenting with the same sensations, which was even more convenient. Although Leon wasn\'t that used to manipulate stamina, he recognized the feeling of covering his fingers with energy. On his first try, he received the notification.
Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Steel Claws.
Cost: 03 mana and 03 stamina per second.
You obtained 01 status points.
"Hahaha! It is a success!" Leon raised his fist upward while he was smiling.
Although Leon was quite happy that his idea worked, soon he understood that skill would be only useful, perhaps only once or twice every one hundred days as long as he stays in that dimension. It was useful, but Leon didn\'t solve all of his problems... he only found another tool to help him reach his goal.
In any case, since he was at it, Leon decided to keep the skill active in order to level up. The cost was so low that he could keep active forever without running out of mana or stamina.
"Maybe I should keep using that combo and see If I can learn something else," Leon said while he observed a new group of velociraptors appear from the sea. "I don\'t think I can assimilate their experience just by reading their memories, but I suppose it can\'t hurt to try."
Although that surprised him a little, Leon soon learned that the monsters barely had any memories. Leon studied the things they saw, but he only found a few memories of them underwater and the even fewer seconds they spent on the beach. Although he was in an imaginary space, Leon couldn\'t assimilate the memories of imaginary creatures. Still, there was a chance that perhaps something unexpected if he tries to use that on a real monster, but it was hard to be sure.
"Now, I feel like I\'m truly reaching the realm of the true harvesters..." Leon looked at both hands and felt the power he obtained in those four years. "Although this power is a massive accomplishment, I\'m lacking in some many aspects that I can\'t even feel proud of it."
Although Leon couldn\'t relax yet, he couldn\'t ignore his accomplishments either. Otherwise, he would eventually feel unhappy about doing anything but train. For a while, he felt satisfied while he tested Steel Claws on the velociraptors, but soon started to train other skills.
