Chapter 90: Chapter 90: Talent Metamorphosis!
Meanwhile.
Aster Grant proficiently pulled the two little ones who wanted to peek outside, and casually locked the door.
Turning around to face the barrel of the Spring of Life, which was emitting a lustrous green glow, he took a deep breath and stepped into the water without hesitation.
The cool spring water instantly enveloped his entire body, relaxing every pore.
Splash—
With 34 pieces of High-level Star Stone thrown into the water, the entire barrel of spring water suddenly boiled.
The surging energy transformed into visible blue streams of light, crazily pouring into his body.
He immediately closed his eyes and concentrated, sensing the flow of energy within his body.
In his perception, the two talents were like sharks smelling blood, greedily devouring this energy.
But...
This time was different from the last; the Star Stone energy was thousands of times stronger than before.
Even if both talents were fully activated, absorbing at full capacity, a large amount of energy still escaped and was absorbed by his body.
And his various attributes were rapidly improving under these conditions.
Gradually, the devouring speed of the two talents began to slow down, like beasts that had eaten their fill.
When the absorption of the two energies reached saturation...
Aster Grant felt a "buzz" in his mind, as if a thin veil had suddenly been lifted.
The world became clearer than ever in his eyes.
Subconsciously checking his personal information.
[Aster Grant]
[Beastbond: Divine Angel, Nature Elf]
[Contract Quota: 2/3]
[Level: Extraordinary Tier Nine]
[Talent: Sovereign (Enhanced), Soul-devouring (Enhanced)]
[Power: 500]
[Constitution: 500]
[Spiritual: 2434]
[Speed: 500]
Under the influence of the two talents, his Spiritual attribute had skyrocketed to 2434 points!
Almost touching human limits!
Even though the other attributes were still very low, at least...
These two greedy talents were finally satisfied!
Looking at the two talents marked as "Enhanced," he immediately felt their transformation in detail...
[Sovereign (Strengthened)]
[Effect: Grants the Beastbond three combat states!]
The Sovereign talent could grant an additional state!
[Slaughter: Attacks ignore defense, nothing can withstand its sharp blade!]
[Protection: Defense greatly increased, sacred guardianship, indestructible!]
[Celestial Grace: Purifies negative states, clad in holy light, divine might descends!]
Gazing at this newly added state, Aster Grant nodded to himself.
Although this state doesn’t significantly enhance the Beastbond’s combat power, it allows the Beastbond to be immune to all negative states...
The enhancement it brings to actual combat is enormous!
And the other talent—Soul-devouring.
It had also undergone transformation...
[Soul-devouring (Strengthened)]
[Effect: Indiscriminately boosts Beastbond’s attributes by 200%]
[Special State: Sacrifice (Can double the enhancement effect to 400% by sacrificing one contracted Beastbond)]
At the moment he saw the word "Sacrifice," Aster Grant’s pupils contracted sharply!
Sacrifice a Beastbond?!
Images of Lazuli and Vera flashed through his mind instantly.
If either of his Beastbonds were to disappear...
At the thought of this possibility, he shook his head violently, discarding the idea from his mind.
No!
Even if this ability could lead to a qualitative leap in strength, the power gained from their disappearance...
He couldn’t accept it!
Sealed!
This special state... should never be used in this lifetime!
After thoroughly checking the two talents, his various attributes had also increased to the limit.
[Power: 1500]
[Constitution: 1500]
[Spiritual: 2434]
[Speed: 1500]
When all attributes were fixed at 1500 points, Aster Grant clearly felt...
the body had reached a state of saturation.
He stood up with a splash, crystalline water droplets rolling down the lines of his muscles.
The Water of Life in the barrel had long become crystal clear, and the Tree of Life only had a few leaves floating.
However, there were still two Star Stones lying lonely at the bottom of the barrel.
With a casual wave, he stored them in the Beastbond Space.
It seems that using Star Stones to enhance...
points is the maximum this method can achieve!
As for his Spiritual attribute, able to reach such a terrifying degree...
it’s entirely due to his two talents!
Thinking this, he took out from the Beastbond Space the special Sanctum Pass glowing with purple light.
Noelle Quinn instructed him to perform well in the special sanctum for a reason.
Only in this special sanctum...
can various attributes be improved once again!
He casually donned a bathrobe.
There’s still time before entering the sanctum, he must bring his two Beastbonds to search, see if he can find that Ghost Race girl.
After all, the slot for the third Beastbond has been vacant for quite a while!
...
On the other side.
The Council Headquarters.
"Bang!"
The heavy oak door was kicked open, the door panel slammed into the wall, shaking dust from the ceiling.
Hite suddenly looked up, anger surging through him.
After all, the Council is one of the three major powers of the Human Race, who on earth is so blind...
However, after seeing the person’s appearance clearly, he instantly froze.
"Miss Vero, what brings you here!"
The anger on Hite’s face instantly turned into a fawning smile.
"Didn’t the old master notify you? I’m here at Baelgard for the sanctum!"
The girl casually slapped a letter of command on the desk.
After Hite confirmed it was indeed Lord Cavan’s order, the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely.
Only this little miss dared to be so blunt with one of the Human Race’s pillars, Cavan Vero.
"Miss Vero, the day after tomorrow is when the special sanctum opens! I’ll escort you to the sanctum entrance then!"
With Veronica Vero’s status, she naturally didn’t need to personally go to the Demon Domain to slay Demons for points to enter the special sanctum.
Veronica nodded.
Her level had also reached Extraordinary Tier Nine, with all attributes hitting 1500 points.
To continue improving...
She must enter the special sanctum.
This is also why Cavan Vero allowed her to go to Baelgard.
This special sanctum is divided into three layers.
Passing each layer yields a certain attribute enhancement.
For the first two layers, she has confidence to clear them.
But the third layer...
is unconquerable!
Strictly speaking...
it is more like a challenge checkpoint!
Every time you defeat a foe, a stronger opponent materializes within the sanctum.
Noelle Quinn, hailed as the "Human Race’s number one prodigy," continued to challenge successfully until...
she encountered Commander Level foes, and was defeated.
It is because of this that the Human Race’s growth limit is defined as 2500 points!
This number is the Extraordinary level attributes of Noelle Quinn!
Thinking of this, a serious look flashed in Veronica’s eyes.
Currently, the two Beastbonds she has contracted...
White Monarch and Nether Spirit Leopard were once Monarch Level.
Cavan was willing to pay such a hefty price, letting Monarch Level Beastbonds drop in realm to contract with her.
For one purpose only...
to allow her to break human limits!
Veronica appears nonchalant but understands the old man’s expectations for her.
She can play, she can be willful, but she cannot fail to get stronger!
However, the serious look in her eyes only flickered for a moment before she returned to her usual self.
"By the way, is there anything fun happening recently in Baelgard? Tell me quickly."
Hite dared not hesitate, immediately reporting to her the two major events happening recently in Baelgard.
"A Ghost Race member came to Baelgard seeking her master, now she seems to be the strongest Beastbond in Baelgard!"
"Anything else?"
Veronica is not interested in Beastbonds.
After all, her Beastbonds are all arranged by the old man, and it’s impossible for her to contract the Ghost Race.
"There’s also an Extraordinary level human who killed a Commander Level Demon in a cross-level battle!"
Upon hearing this, White Monarch and the Nether Spirit Leopard beside Veronica simultaneously narrowed their pupils.
Having been Monarch Level before, both beasts knew the difficulty of an Extraordinary level killing a Commander Level Demon.
Even as they are now, without using their Domain...
is a fifty-fifty fight with Commander Level Demons!
"What’s that human’s name?"
Veronica immediately became interested.
"Aster Grant!"
Upon hearing this name again, Veronica’s eyes brightened suddenly.
