“Trouble has struck!”
Looking at the surging demonic energy transforming into swirling gray air currents, enveloping the sky like dark clouds, Wen Yu felt his right eyelid twitch uncontrollably.
Indeed, the trouble was significant...
From level five to level six, it was merely a one-level increase, yet just like the difference between level four and level five, a single level gap meant a more than doubled enhancement in raw strength!
In the distance, as demonic energy flooded into Earth, the concentration of demonic energy in the air surged dramatically. This made the existing low-level demonic creatures on Earth seem to have taken a stimulant, as they charged madly against the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine and the dark barrier's dual defenses with soaring battle intent.
However, battle intent did not equate to strength. No matter how determined they were, the dual defenses set up by Wen Yu remained unmoved.
Wen Yu himself was not worried about these low-level creatures— the real threat still resided in another world within the Demon Realm Gate!
From level five to level six, under normal circumstances, the limit of physical attributes increased by 3,000 points. It wasn't a big deal; 2,000 points and 5,000 points of physical attributes were not significantly different in Wen Yu's eyes.
The real problem lay in the potential emergence of limit breaker level demonic creatures—an increase in one skill slot could mean a world of difference in combat capability!
Thinking of this, Wen Yu let out a deep breath, his entire being surged with power, instantly enhancing the energy reserves of the dark barrier, and then a mental wave was transmitted to his three-headed spirit pet.
“Guard the defense well; I’m going to level up.”
After saying that, Wen Yu transformed into a streak of black light and floated toward the nearby Exchange Stone Pillar.
...
“Choose advancement trial.”
“Ding, scanning. Current host physical attribute is 58,312 points, divine beast species in the Immortal Heroic World (racial talent 12.15) (the extra 0.15 is the world's vengeance bonus), already a limit breaker, with a power level at the peak of level five.”
“Ding, detected that the host's profession is soul master; scanning the soul beast's physical attributes.”
“Scan complete; the current physical attribute of the soul beast is 2,001 points, already a limit breaker, at the peak of level five. Meets the advancement criteria.”
“Ding, deducting 300,000 points; the advancement trial begins.”
The points required for the advancement trial from level five to level six were even lower than that of the advancement trial from level four to level five. Perhaps the sovereign was too disdainful to use points to hinder the promotion path of seasoned level five professionals.
Of course, for Wen Yu now, those so-called points were merely a series of countless numbers.
“Ding, welcome to the advancement challenge space.”
It was still a pure white space, still the familiar prompt sound, but this time, Wen Yu did not feel the joy of impending promotion.
“This advancement trial is a one-on-one combat mode—two combatants, the winner advances, and the loser cannot challenge the advancement trial again within a day! Detected that the challenger is from rank two, automatically acquiring advancement qualifications.”
White light swept over, and the transition-like advancement trial was already completed!
“Ding, congratulations to the challenger for successfully challenging and advancing to level six profession.”
“The physical attributes of a level six professional can only be enhanced through sixth-tier magic crystals, with a physical attribute cap of 5,000 points. Detected that the challenger is a limit breaker; the physical attribute cap has already far exceeded the limitations of level six professionals, thus forcibly expanding the host's cap by 3,000 points, currently at 58,312/61,312.”
This news was somewhat of a pleasant surprise. A 3,000-point cap on physical attributes was inconsequential to Wen Yu, but for a newly promoted professional, it was certainly a great gift— being a limit breaker meant there were no shortages of points. As long as the advancement trial was completed, he could use magic crystals to make up for those 3,000 points within minutes after returning.
