I'm at Hogwarts, what the heck is this Primordial System?

Chapter 42 Talent Forging, Mastering Wind and Thunder!

The furnace pattern lit up on the system's light screen.

Rhine suddenly had a feeling that he could strip away the talents he had already acquired and throw them into the furnace.

One can choose to completely discard it and transform it into the Daoist essence that nourishes other talents.

Alternatively, you can choose to fuse multiple similar talents into a new talent.

"First, I'll refine away the talents that are useless to me."

Rhine glanced around and selected several talents.

The double-axe chain I got from Malfoy is too useless; I don't want it.

The martial arts proficiency he gained from Hermione was a talent that had been very useful to Rhine before, allowing him to unleash his formidable strength.

However, as time passed, due to the learning and comprehension abilities brought by the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart, the talent of being proficient in martial arts had been mastered by the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart and no longer provided any benefit to Rhine.

The same principle applies to mount mastery talents.

Rhine decisively melted away all of these talents.

The next moment, the three talents slowly disappeared from the rewards panel, and the furnace icon lit up.

Then, several new lines of information appeared on Rhein's system screen.

You have honed your martial arts skills, mastery of mounts, and the talent for dual-axe combos.

[Due to the low level of your three talents, you have obtained a wisp of Daoist essence.]

[Current quantity of Daoist aura: One strand]

Rhine raised an eyebrow, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"These three talents combined only yield a wisp of Dao essence, which means that not every talent can yield a Dao essence."

"The more extraordinary one's talent, the more Dao essence one forges? That makes sense. How can talents like skillful martial arts and double-axe combos compare to those with copper skin and iron bones, innate divine strength, and a mind with seven orifices of exquisite intelligence?"

"It seems that in the future, in addition to the quantity of talents, we also need to pay attention to the quality. We can't miss any opportunity to acquire extraordinary talents."

"Even if you don't need it, it's still worthwhile to use it to refine Dao essence."

After the three completely useless talents disappeared, Rhine turned his attention to several talents of similar nature.

According to the system, if they are melted together, it is possible to create an even more powerful talent.

However, in any case, the strongest talent will be preserved, so as not to cause heavy losses.

After a moment of thought, Rhine's gaze fell on the three talents: Wind Control, Soaring Through the Wind, and Wind and Thunder.

They are all related to speed, flight, and wind, among which the flapping wind and thunder are undoubtedly the most powerful.

Even if the smelting fails, the loss of the other two talents will not have a significant impact and will hardly reduce Rhine's strength.

But if they could forge an even stronger talent, Rhine would definitely make a huge profit.

Rhine made a decision immediately.

"To fuse the elements of riding the wind, soaring through the air, and flapping wings amidst thunder and lightning."

In the rewards section, these three talents instantly became blurry.

The furnace became brighter than before.

A moment later, the three talents disappeared, and a new talent took its place in the rewards section.

[Control wind and thunder. With a single thought, wind arises; with another, thunder roars. Wind and thunder gather in your hand, capable of stirring up storms from the ground. In the air or during rain, you can even draw upon the power of wind and thunder from the heavens above, amplifying your power dramatically.]

Rhine took a deep breath and felt a qualitative change occur.

Previously, whether it was riding the wind or flapping its wings and thunder, it still relied on the wind force in the air, which was quite passive.

But at this moment, this talent for controlling wind and thunder, the word "control" alone is enough to show its difference.

He extended his left hand.

Suddenly, a strong wind arose in the corridor.

He then extended his right hand, and fine strands of electricity swirled around his palm, filling the air with the acrid smell of ionization.

A moment later, Rhine stopped what he was doing, his eyes bright.

Trading three talents for the ability to control wind and thunder, with power increasing rather than decreasing, is definitely a huge win.

The power of this talent surpasses even the power of Fire Control.

If I could obtain spells related to wind and thunder, or even if I had to settle for a few wind and thunder-related incantations, their power would definitely surpass the knock-off version of the Fire God's Path I had previously used.

Especially if it's a rainy day and he runs into Voldemort from Diagon Alley again, Rhine will make sure he understands what it means to shatter darkness with thunder!

Then, having tasted success, Rhine looked at the rewards section again.

"The talents of spirit beast affinity, spirit beast breeding, and metallurgy overlap somewhat with the Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart's ability to understand all things and get to the heart of their essence."

"System, fuse these four talents for me!"

The next moment, all four talents blurred.

The furnace on the light screen shone brightly once more.

Then, the three talents of Spirit Beast Affinity, Spirit Beast Nurturing, and Metallurgy disappeared, leaving only the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart.

Rhine's expression darkened.

"?"

"Damn, it failed?"

This will still be a loss for him, as it will affect his alchemy and magical animal breeding.

The latest novel is first published here!

But soon, a strange look appeared in Rhine's eyes as he noticed that the description of the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart talent had been expanded with additional information.

[A mind of exquisite wisdom. Possessing profound understanding of all things, grasping their essence. A fusion of the essence of the Beast Taming Sect and the Weapon Forging Sect, excelling particularly in these two fields.]

Rhein felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, although no talent stronger than the Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart was born, those talents were completely absorbed by the Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart during the refining process, so it wasn't a complete loss. They can still shine and generate heat within me.

At this moment, Rhine's gaze swept over the much simpler rewards panel once again.

The talent of controlling fire is related to Rhine's self-created version of the God of Fire's path, and is also crucial to disciplines such as potions and alchemy, so it must be retained for now.

The talents of Concealment, Night Vision, and Living on Dew and Wind have no counterparts and are currently irreplaceable.

While exceptional talent in chess might be useful in social situations, there are no peers like him, and even if he were to refine it, he probably wouldn't gain much Dao essence. Rhine also intends to keep it.

The Five-Colored Light Stone Cultivation Method and the Flying Tiger Military Strategy are not talents, but cultivation methods, so they simply cannot be forged.

Finally, all that's left is a body of steel, innate superhuman strength, and the protection of a lotus flower.

Looking at these three talents, Rhine's eyes showed a conflicted expression.

One enhances physical defense, another enhances physical strength, and the third protects the soul. Rhine believed that if these three talents were fused together, perhaps a super-powerful talent that combined the essence of the three could emerge, which would be an absolute win.

But if there's any loss, Rhine will feel the pain no matter which one is lost.

After much deliberation, Rhein made up his mind.

"No matter how much loss we suffer, it's enough to cover the things that happened at Hogwarts in the past few years."

"There are even other ways to replace the lost talent effects. Ironclad Charm and Occlumency can be used as substitutes."

"But if we can truly forge an even stronger talent, it will be a qualitative change. Under normal circumstances, who knows when we'll be able to obtain a talent that is compatible with all three and has an even stronger effect?"

"Let's gamble!"

Immediately, Rhein gritted his teeth.

"System, grant me a body made of copper and iron, innate divine strength, and lotus protection."

As soon as he finished speaking, all three talents blurred simultaneously.

At the same time, an unprecedentedly bright light suddenly burst forth on the furnace pattern.

This time, Rhine waited for a full five minutes.

Five minutes felt like an eternity to him.

Finally, a dazzling golden light flashed across the furnace pattern.

Immediately, a brand new talent appeared in the rewards section.

Rhine's gaze was fixed on that newly emerged talent, and he held his breath.

When he saw the name and description of the talent, Rhine's mind went blank for a moment.

"this……"
