NOVEL NEXT Chapter 90: Talent Metamorphosis
Meanwhile.
Gu Xing expertly dragged the two little creatures trying to peek out the door and casually locked it.
Turning to face the Spring of Life shimmering with a luminous green glow, he took a deep breath and stepped into the water without hesitation.
The cool spring water instantly enveloped him, every pore relaxing.
Swish——
With the addition of 34 high-level Star Stones, the entire barrel of spring water boiled suddenly.
The surging energy transformed into a visible blue stream of light, madly pouring into his body.
He immediately closed his eyes to concentrate, feeling the flow of this energy within him.
In his perception, the two talents were like sharks smelling blood, greedily devouring this energy.
However...
This time was different from the last, as the energy from the Star Stones was thousands of times greater.
Even with both talents fully activated and absorbing at full power, there was still a large amount of energy dispersing and being absorbed by his body.
And his various attributes were rapidly improving under such circumstances.
Gradually, the absorption speed of the two talents began to slow down, like a sated beast eating more slowly.
When the absorption of both energies reached saturation...
Gu Xing felt a buzz in his mind, as if a veil had been suddenly lifted.
The world appeared unprecedentedly clear before his eyes.
Instinctively, he checked all his information.
[Gu Xing]
[Guardian Beast: Divine Angels, Natural Spirit]
[Contract Quota: 2/3]
[Level: Extraordinary Tier Ninth]
[Talent: Sovereign (Enhanced), Soul-devouring (Enhanced)]
[Power: 500]
[Constitution: 500]
[Spirit: 2434]
[Speed: 500]
Under the influence of the two talents, his Spirit attribute had soared to 2434 points!
Almost touching the limits of humanity!
Although his other attributes were still low, at least...
These robber-like talents were finally satiated!
Looking at the two talents marked as "Enhanced", he immediately felt in detail the transformation within them...
[Sovereign (Enhanced)]
[Effect: Grants Guardian Beast three combat states!]
The Sovereign talent now provides an additional state!
[Slaughter: Attacks ignore defenses, cutting through all!]
[Guard: Greatly increases defense, holy protection, impenetrable!]
[Celestial Grace: Purifies negative states, imbued with Holy Light, divine majesty descends!]
Observing this new state, Gu Xing nodded silently.
Although this state did not greatly enhance the Guardian Beast's combat abilities, it did allow them to be immune to all negative states...
In actual combat, it could bring a significant boost!
And as for the other talent—Soul-devouring.
It completed a transformation as well...
[Soul-devouring (Enhanced)]
[Effect: Indiscriminately enhances Guardian Beast's attributes by 200%]
[Special State: Sacrifice (Can double enhancement to 400% by sacrificing one contracted Guardian Beast)]
At the moment he saw the word "Sacrifice", Gu Xing's pupils contracted sharply!
Sacrifice a Guardian Beast?!
The images of Liu Li and Vera instantly flashed through his mind.
If either of his two Guardian Beasts were gone...
The thought of this possibility made him shake his head instantly, dispelling the idea.
No way!
Even if this ability could lead to a qualitative leap in strength, the power gained in exchange for their disappearance...
He could not accept it!
Seal it off!
This special state...will never be used in his lifetime!
After thoroughly reviewing the two talents, his various attributes had also been enhanced to their limits.
[Power: 1500]
[Constitution: 1500]
[Spirit: 2434]
[Speed: 1500]
When all the attributes stabilized at 1500 points, Gu Xing clearly felt...
His body had reached a saturated state.
With a splash, he stood up from the tub, crystalline beads of water rolling down his muscle contours.
The Life Water in the barrel had already turned crystal clear, with only a few tattered leaves of the Tree of Life floating.
Except for two lonely Star Stones lying at the bottom of the barrel.
With a casual wave, he collected them into his Beast Taming Space.
It seems that the enhancement using Star Stones...
1500 points is the limit this method can achieve!
As for his Spirit attribute reaching such a terrifying level...
This is purely due to the influence of his two talents!
Thinking of this, he retrieved a special Secret Realm Pass with a purple glow from his Beast Taming Space.
No wonder Qin Chuxue reminded him to perform well in the special secret realm.
Only in this special secret realm...
Can various attributes be further enhanced!
Casually throwing on a bathrobe.
With some time left before entering the secret realm, he planned to take his two Guardian Beasts to look around, see if he could find that Ghost Race girl.
After all, the position for the third Guardian Beast has been vacant for a long time now!
...
On the other side.
Council headquarters.
"Bang!"
The heavy oak door was kicked open by someone, the door panel slammed against the wall, causing dust to fall from the ceiling.
Heite abruptly raised his head, his heart flooded with rage.
Even if the council is one of the Human Race's three major forces, who here has such audacity...
However, upon recognizing the visitor's face, he froze instantly.
"Miss Vero, what brings you here!"
The anger on Heite's face instantly transformed into a fawning smile.
"Didn't the old man inform you? I'm here at the Northern Territory for the secret realm!"
The girl casually slapped an order onto the table.
Upon confirming it was indeed an order from Lord Kaven, the corners of Heite's mouth twitched hard.
Only this young lady dares to be so blunt with one of the Human Race's pillars, Verocan.
"Miss Vero, the day after tomorrow is when the special secret realm opens! I'll accompany you to the entrance then!"
Given Veronica's status, she wasn't required to personally kill Demon Race in the Demon Realm to gain points for entering the secret realm.
Veronica nodded.
Her level had also reached Extraordinary Tier Ninth, and all attributes had reached 1500 points.
To continue enhancing...
Entering the special secret realm was necessary.
And this was the reason Kaven allowed her to travel to the Northern Territory.
This special secret realm is divided into three layers.
With each layer conquered, one can gain certain attribute enhancements.
She was confident of passing the first two layers.
Except for the third layer...
Cannot be passed!
Strictly speaking...
It seemed more like a challenge level!
Every time you defeat the enemy before you, the secret realm condenses an even stronger opponent.
Qin Chuxue, hailed as the "Human Race's number one genius," kept succeeding in challenges of the third layer until...
Faced with a Commander Level opponent, that's where she fell.
It's precisely due to this reason that the growth limit for the entire Human Race was defined at 2500 points!
This number represents Qin Chuxue's attributes at the Extraordinary Level!
Contemplating this, a look of seriousness flickered in Veronica's eyes.
Currently contracted Guardian Beasts...
The White Emperor and the Nether Spirit Leopard were both once Monarch Level.
Kaven was willing to pay such a high price, allowing Monarch Level Guardian Beasts to fall from their realm and contract with her.
For one purpose only...
That's to help her break the limits of humanity!
Veronica seemed nonchalant but understood the old man's expectations for her.
She could play and act willfully, but must never stop growing stronger!
Though the seriousness in her eyes only flickered for a moment before reverting to her usual demeanor.
"Oh yeah, has anything interesting happened in the Northern Territory lately? Tell me all about it."
Heite dared not hesitate, promptly recounting the two major events recently occurred in the Northern Territory.
"A Ghost Race girl appeared in the Northern Territory looking for a master, she seems to have become the strongest Guardian Beast around!"
"Anything else?"
Regarding Guardian Beasts, Veronica wasn't interested.
After all, her Guardian Beasts were arranged by the old man, there's no chance she'd contract this Ghost Race girl.
"And an Extraordinary Level human who surpassed levels to kill a Commander Level Demon Race!"
Upon hearing that, the pupils of White Emperor and Nether Spirit Leopard beside Veronica simultaneously constricted.
As former Monarch Level, both beasts knew the difficulty of an Extraordinary Level killing a Commander Level.
Even now without using domains...
Against a Commander Level Demon Race, it's merely an even match!
"What's that human's name?"
Veronica instantly showed interest.
"Gu Xing!"
Upon hearing this name again, Veronica's eyes suddenly brightened.
