After Vincent entered the Decadence Soul Temple, he saw an altar made of black stone inside. On its two sides were two large stone slabs made of dark purple stone.
There were no texts or inscriptions on it at all. However, Vincent could tell that they were unordinary.
Anyway, Vincent already received instructions on what to do… Silverio gave him another small stone that is supposedly an item that would connect him to the Mind Training Ground. Since this stone can only be used for a limited amount of ti, they have decided to just give it as a gift not needing to be returned.
He then found a seat like the other two. He sat on the floor with his legs crossed and held the stone in between his hands like he was about to ditate.
However, he was doing sothing else.
"Appraise..."
[ Damaged mory Connection Stone ]
[ Quality: Rare
Number of Enhancents: 0/10
Durability: 5/50
Number of Usages Available: 1/6
Mind Clarity ( Disabled ): A passive ability that helps the user clear their mind and defend against ntal attacks.
Description: A heavily damaged stone connected to a specific mory Stone. After usage, the item will be shattered and damage the soul of the user. The passive ability can't be used until the item is repaired.
Remarks: Usage number will increase by 1 in every successful enhancent. ]
'So that's how it is, huh…' Vincent finally understood their intention.
"Are you sure you wanted to give this to ?" He asked the two one last ti.
"Yes! That's yours! We already have ours. We won't renege on our promise. Anyway, that item is quite useless outside this building so our clan wouldn't think too much of it even if you tell them that you just pick it up sowhere on the road." Silverio replied.
Vincent nodded as it was indeed noted in the description that the small stone is only connected to a specific mory Stone. It ans that it has no other uses just like what he said.
Nevertheless, he couldn't help but sigh.
They actually wanted to pull a prank on him. They obviously do not have an intention to kill him but only to suffer a bit. Even if he got injured by the two and was known by the Clan, they wouldn't receive punishnt at all. Even if they will, it will just probably be a light punishnt like staying in their room for a day or sothing.
Furthermore, they know that he is a Soul Cultivator so even if his soul was damaged, they believe that he would still be able to repair it after so ti.
He couldn't help but be thankful for his Appraisal Ability.
"Vincent… Are you nervous? You can try and connect to the stone now… Ti flows very slowly in that place and you can use that place to train. Hurry up."
Tyrell excitedly urged him up but Vincent only gave a mysterious smile and continued with his plan. They weren't pulling a harmless prank on him so he made sure to rember this incident.
'Enhance!'
[ Enhancent Successful! ]
[ Damaged mory Connection Stone 1 ]
Vincent sneered as he confird that the number of users increased by 1 as well. Obviously, he wouldn't stop here as he continued enhancing until he reached a failure.
[ Enhancent Successful! ]
[ Enhancent Successful! ]
[ Enhancent Successful! ]
…
[ Enhancent Successful! ]
[ Enhancent Failure! ]
[ Damaged mory Connection Stone 9 ]
Since Vincent's Item Enhancent Skill has already reached level 9, he was now barely encountering failure during 6 and above.
However, reaching 10 will always not be easy. He has to give up on that for now.
Furthermore, as its na implies, it is still a damaged one. Although it will no longer shatter after using it once it is still very fragile at the mont and accidents can happen.
Because of that, Vincent decided to use his other skill to ensure that their prank won't work on him.
'Ascend…'
[ Ascension Failure. ]
[ Ascension Failure. ]
[ Ascension Successful. ]
Vincent had almost broken into laughter after seeing that the ascension succeeded after three tries…
He was about to appraise the item but he suddenly received a series of notifications!
[ Item Ascension Skill Level has increased by 1. ]
[ You have increased the level of your Ascension Skill for the first ti. ]
[ You have received 1 Transcendence Card and 1 Orichalcum Ore ]
Vincent's eyes went wide after seeing this reward. He didn't expect that increasing the level of his Ascension Skill for the first ti would give him such a reward.
Furthermore, it is the clue for the third stage of his Awakening System!
That's right! This is definitely a clue that he received from the system.
'Ahh… Now that I think about it, this is the pattern of the system…'
Vincent finally recalled that when his only skill was just the Item Enhancent Skill from the system, he received a single Ascension Card after leveling the skill for the very first ti!
Then after the Item Enhancent Skill level reached 9, he received the Item Ascension Skill.
Now, it happened again.
He leveled up the Item Ascension Skill for the first ti so he received the Transcendence Card. It ans that if he leveled his Ascension Skill to 9, he would most likely learn the Transcendence Skill!
That is certainly not a coincidence.
His hands trembled as he ignored Silverio who wanted him to activate the stone imdiately. He first used the appraise skill on the card. Anyway, they can't see what he was doing.
[ Transcendence Card ]
[ Description: A one-ti use card that helps any targeted item to receive skill and guaranteed new attribute.
Remarks: Only Pseudo-Legendary and the above item can receive a new Skill. Only a 1-Ti Item Random Skill can ignore the rank of an item. ]
'Incredible!' Vincent couldn't help but suck a breath of cold air after reading this. He finally had a good outlook on his system.
Item Enhancent Skill increases the existing attributes and durability.
Item Ascension Skill increases the rank and overall quality of the item. It also had a small chance of getting new attributes in the process which is why his Silver Ruin Dagger and other items have new attributes now.
Item Transcendence Skill, on the other hand, would grant the item a new ability and guaranteed a new attribute in the process!
As for the restrictions, that only pseudo-legendary and above can accept the transcendence, he wasn't worried about that at all.
Vincent also couldn't but smile after recalling the 1-Ti Item Random Skill that he used before which allowed his previously Unique-Rank Soul-Forged Ironbark Cane to get the Ensnare Skill.
It was a pity that he no longer receive such an overpowered card but this Transcendence Card is surely sothing he would look forward to.
'Alright… It should be about ti…'
After calming his breath and confirming that the mory Connection Stone in his hands is no longer 'damaged' after a successful ascension, Vincent finally decided to check what benefits he could get inside the black stone or the altar
He closed his eyes and poured his Pseudo Celestial Energy into the stone and soon, his consciousness entered the altar as Silverio and Tyrell expected.
"He entered!" Silverio shouted in delight as soon as he saw Vincent's energy fluctuation beco dormant. This signifies that he already triggered the small stone's connection.
"Hehe! Let's wait and see what kind of reaction he'll make." Tyrell laugh seeing that their plan was successful.
"Wait… Shouldn't we leave, what if he started attacking us?"
"Are you afraid? He hasn't even learned Tier 2 Mana Arts! He'll also be injured!"
"T-that's true… But this is still the temple…" Silverio replied with a frown. He still wanted to respect this place and not make it a real battleground.
Tyrell paused for a mont but he still shook his head. He is determined to humiliate Vincent today as he explained the situation to Silverio.
Apparently, Tyrell wanted Lesley to marry his friend. Furthermore, he promised his friend that he'll help him at all costs but in exchange, he will receive special potions to further his success in developing his Tier 4 Mana Arts.
"We can't let this ignorant countryside man get close to Lesley… Do you want your eyes to stay like that?! We have to accept we don't have great talent. We need outside help. I hate these lackluster grey eyes! I need to complete my Mystic Eye!" Tyrell said filled with conviction.
Even though he wasn't the oldest here, he was more intelligent than Silverio.
Anyway, their eyes were actually grey because they are developing Tier 4 Mana Arts! That's right, the Zemin Clan doesn't only possess the extrely difficult Darkness Eye of Yulia but they also have other Mystic Eyes that only those with pure bloodline can try and practice!
***
While the two were arguing about their thod to humiliate Vincent, the latter already found himself in a difficult situation.
He was invited here as he was told that it could temper his soul. Sothing that would surely benefit him as an Aura Knight.
After all, there is a limit on the thod that his grandfather had given him.
However, as soon as he connected to the stone, he saw the familiar image of the female goddess that he has been using for his Visualization thod to empower his soul!
He thought that nothing would go wrong but the seductive blonde goddess, who is barely wearing her white robe, moved and attacked his eyes.
