Ace was determined to push the limits of his talents and uncover their full potential. After checking the proficiency increase of using his talents, he discovered valuable information. Each time he successfully used his Fusion talent, he gained 500 experience points. In case of failure, he still received 25 experience points. As for his Copy/Paste talent, he earned 100 experience points for every successful use. The best part was that there was no failure for Copy/Paste within the same rank; it had a 100% success rate.
Ace decided to leverage these insights. He copied the egg ten times, diligently tracking his progress. Thanks to his efforts, his talents quickly progressed to D Rank. His Fusion skill had reached 62/2000, Copy/Paste was at 138/2000, and Inventory had reached 12/2000 in proficiency.
Exhausted from a night of relentless cultivation and experimentation, Ace realized it was time to take a break. He knew the importance of rest for his growth, so he decided to sleep until after lunch. As he drifted off, he couldn't help but wonder about the incredible possibilities that lay ahead with his talents now advancing to D Rank.
After waking up from his well-deserved rest, Ace joined his parents for dinner. Their family was wealthy by the standards of ordinary people, but they understood that the world of Beast Tamers brought about a different scale of wealth. Most of their income came from hunting monsters outside the walls.
Upon returning to his room after dinner, Ace resumed his cultivation of strange energy. He was pleasantly surprised to discover that he had increased his strange energy by 18 points. He was now on par with an A-rank talent and even slightly better.
Motivated by his progress, Ace turned his attention to the two E-rank cultivation skill books he possessed, one for mage cultivation and the other for warrior cultivation. Curiosity led him to research whether there were any classes that combined both mage and warrior abilities, but he found that such a combination was unheard of. People who attempted to cultivate both usually faced the challenge of slow progress and a limited lifespan.

As he delved into the books, Ace learned that mage cultivation involved forming a blue core within the body using strange energy, much like how monsters developed their cores. In contrast, warrior cultivation required infusing strange energy into the human blood to enhance physical strength and vitality.
Seeing no reason why these two cultivation methods couldn't coexist within him, Ace decided to experiment. He tried to fuse the two skill books, and to his delight, it was a success. The result was a D-rank skill named "Magic Swordsman," which seemed to blend the best of both worlds. This achievement came at the cost of 10 points of strange energy, but Ace couldn't help but feel that he had unlocked a unique and promising path on his journey to become a formidable Beast Tamer.
Ace continued to cultivate his newfound D-Rank skill, "Magic Swordsman," and the results were truly remarkable. His body and magical abilities improved significantly, and what was even more intriguing was the synchronization between the two. The blend of mage and warrior cultivation seemed to work seamlessly, making Ace a formidable force.
However, he couldn't help but feel a bit limited by the fact that he could only allocate 9 strange energy points to his core and another 9 to his body. While this was a restriction, it wasn't necessarily a hindrance, especially considering that most people were limited to a single talent. Ace, on the other hand, had three talents that were growing simultaneously, making his progress nothing short of extraordinary.
Ace decided to gather more strange energy, but he soon felt a painful strain in his body and core. It became apparent that his capacity for strange energy was limited. Despite this, he remained resolute and determined to make the most of his unique abilities.
With not much else to do at the moment, Ace decided to return to sleep. His dreams were filled with visions of a future where his talents and skills would propel him to incredible heights in the world of Beast Tamers.
