Awakened Talent: 10,000 Exp Converter!

"This is still not enough," Vincent murmured to himself, his determination unwavering.

Reaching into his storage ring, he retrieved several experience potions he had earned from Dean Thorne and the Tower of Combat. Without a moment's hesitation, he began consuming them one by one.

He started with the low-quality experience potion from Dean Thorne. Surprisingly, it didn't taste odd or unpleasant as he had anticipated—it was sweet, reminiscent of candy. As the liquid slid down his throat, a melodic notification echoed in his mind.

+100 experience points!

Talent Activated!

+100,000 experience points!

Vincent frowned at the unexpected result. The potion's description had promised an additional 1,000 experience points, yet the numbers were vastly different.

Moments later, the notification sounded again:

+100 experience points!

Talent Activated!

+100,000 experience points!

'Ah, so it gives 100 points initially and then 1,000 over time,' Vincent mused, quickly piecing together the mechanics. He soon realized that this staggered allocation was actually beneficial for him. If the potion had granted the full 1,000 points immediately, a significant portion of those points would have been wasted due to his talent's experience multiplier.

Recognizing this as an unexpected boon, Vincent didn't waste any more time. He immediately began converting his accumulated experience points into purified energy.

1,000 experience points and 100 Origin Energy consumed!

+1 Purified Energy!

The conversion process continued steadily, the rhythmic notifications echoing in his mind like the beat of a drum. This went on until the effects of the experience potion finally wore off.

In that single session, Vincent managed to accumulate a total of 5,000 purified energy. While this was undoubtedly an impressive amount, he couldn't help but wonder how much more he could have achieved if the process of converting experience points to purified energy had been faster. Hypothetically, if the speed of conversion matched his experience point gains, he could have amassed a staggering 10,000,000 experience points, equivalent to 10,000 purified energy.

Even so, he was pleased with the results. The 5,000 purified energy translated into 50 attribute points. Without hesitation, he invested one point into his Force attribute, bringing it to 10.2 Force.

But he didn't stop there.

+1

+1

+1

+1

He continued assigning points with a single-minded determination, each increase fueling his growing strength. When his Force attribute reached 19.2, the sheer pressure radiating from his body became so intense that even the sturdy bed beneath him began to creak ominously, as if protesting against his improved power.

A flicker of doubt crossed Vincent's mind.

"If 19 points isn't the limit for Tier 1, how did I manage to defeat the minions of Old Bone?"

He couldn't come up with a definitive answer but speculated that it might have been due to the extraordinary effects of his epic skill, Abyssal Venomlash. After all, it defied logic for a Tier 1 Origin Warrior with single-digit attributes to overcome Tier 2 opponents who possessed double-digit stats.

What Vincent didn't yet realize was that he was severely underestimating the combined impact of his powerful skills and high-grade equipment.

Determined to push further, he added an additional 0.8 points to his Force attribute, bringing it to a perfect 20 Force. The moment he crossed this threshold, a powerful wave of energy erupted from his body, scattering objects around the room like leaves caught in a storm.

It felt as though he had broken through an invisible barrier and entered an entirely new realm of power.

'This must be the limit for Tier 1,' Vincent thought, marveling at the overwhelming strength coursing through him. Yet, alongside this newfound power, he could feel an intangible barrier and chains binding him, restricting his full potential.

Before he could decide which attribute to enhance next, his long-dormant chaos energy suddenly surged to life. At first, it coursed quietly alongside his Origin Energy, but then it became erratic.

An excruciating pain suddenly radiated from deep within his soul.

"Ugh!" Vincent groaned, his body convulsing as he clutched his chest. The pain was unlike anything he had ever experienced in either of his lifetimes. It felt as though countless daggers were stabbing directly into his very essence, shredding his soul apart piece by piece.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The agony persisted for what felt like an eternity, forcing him to grit his teeth in a desperate attempt to endure. When it finally subsided, Vincent collapsed onto his bed..

For several moments, he lay there, his breaths coming in ragged gasps. But as the minutes passed, he began to notice something strange. His exhaustion disappeared as quickly as it had come. His breathing returned to normal, and his body felt lighter than ever before.

Pushing himself upright, Vincent examined his body closely. On the surface, there were no visible changes, yet he could sense an incredible strength coursing through every fiber of his being. Most importantly, the restrictions he had felt earlier had vanished entirely.

"Did I just break through?" he wondered aloud, quickly opening his interface to check his status.

Name: Vincent Magnus

Rank: Tier 1 - 5★ (0/1,000,000 Exp)

Origin Energy: 3000/6000

Purified Energy: 39,200

Force: 20 + 3

Speed: 7.5 Your journey continues on empire

Mental: 8.5

His brows furrowed in confusion. While his Origin Energy limit had increased from 5,300 to 6,000, his rank still displayed as Tier 1.

"Why am I still at Tier 1? Wasn't that a breakthrough?" he muttered, puzzled by the discrepancy.

Curious, he tried adding another point to his Force attribute and was surprised to find no resistance.

He continued incrementally raising the attribute, watching the numbers climb. At 30 Force, there was still no obstruction. Even at 40 Force, the process remained effortless. It wasn't until he reached 50 Force that he encountered the familiar invisible barrier preventing further progress.

"So, there is still a limit," he muttered, a hint of disappointment in his voice. Yet, he couldn't deny the thrill he felt from the unprecedented growth.

Curious to test his strength, he clenched his fist and threw a simple jab into the air.

A deafening crack echoed through the room as a shockwave burst forth, traveling over two meters before slamming into the fortified wall of the Newcomer's Lounge. The impact left a deep, fist-shaped imprint in the wall.

"What the…?"

Vincent stared at his fist in disbelief, his mind struggling to process what had just happened.

"Did I really just do that?" he whispered, a mixture of awe and excitement surging through him.

"And you say I'm still Tier 1? What kind of Tier 1 has this kind of strength?"
