Armipotent



Tang Shaoyang closed his eyes, listening to the beautiful static voice in his head. It was still emotionless, but it was still beautiful because he leveled up a lot by killing him and the girl earlier. The girl was one rank above him, Legend Rank. Killing the player above his rank gave him more levels than killing monsters above his rank.

[You have reached level 7496!]

Kadir guessed right about everything. Tang Shaoyang lured him to get closer and traded the blow. He was determined to use Seven Soul the moment he realized how troublesome the Sword Domain was even though he had still two last cards, True Dragon Form and also Spirit Integration with Avyn. He believed it would be enough to defeat Kadir, but he decided not to because he noticed the girl through the Spirit Eyes.

The girl came too close to the battle, and he noticed the woman watching the fight. The woman might come after him after he killed Kadir and would kill him anyway, so he decided to use Seven Souls and caught both off guard. He just did not expect that killing both would give him more than a thousand levels.

Killing the girl gave him 327 levels, and he got 972 levels from killing Kadir. That was months of progress from hunting monsters and also sacrificing dozens of spirits. He did not know if it was worth it to use another Seven Souls for 1299 levels, but he passed another crisis thanks to the skill. With this, he already lost two uses from the Seven Souls. He must keep the count and remember it. It would be silly if he died because he forgot the Seven Souls count while doing something risky like today.

[You… What skill is that?]

The God Rank's voice rang in Tang Shaoyang's head. God Rank watched the whole fight and was surprised when he saw Tang Shaoyang come back alive. He did not know that such a skill existed.

[Ah, wait… Don't tell me yet. Let me guess the skill. I think I heard some myths about the skill that could bring back life…]

Tang Shaoyang let the God Rank talk by himself as he allocated all the attribute points he got. Just like that, his Strength, Magic Power, and Vitality to the peak of Primordial Rank. His agility was halfway to the peak while his Stamina was still at one start Primordial.

After the big fight was over, Tang Shaoyang turned his attention toward the Guardian Gate. Despite the big impact of his fight, the Guardian Gate remained intact. It was as if the gate was protected by an invisible force.

[Ah, I got it. It's Heavenly Sky Serpent's skill. I never met one, but the book I have says the Heavenly Sky Serpent has a skill called Seven Souls. The serpent has seven lives and each revival will boost the attribute by ten percent… How do you have the skill? Did you meet a Heavenly Sky Serpent? Or do you have his bloodline? No, your bloodline is a Black Dragon, so… How do you get the skill?]

Tang Shaoyang stood in front of the Guardian Gate. He did not immediately answer the God Rank. He did not know the Heavenly Sky Serpent, but the one he met was the Great Sky Serpent who was still at Legend Rank. There was no harm in telling the story, but he realized how this God Rank valued this information. He might get something from the God Rank by just telling this story, or he could earn the God Rank's good impression by telling the story without asking anything back.

"I can tell you how, but what do I get from telling you how I get the skill?" Tang Shaoyang decided to ask for something in return, not because he was greedy, but because he was in dire need, of anything that could help him get stronger. His priority was level for sure, but if he could get something that could make him stronger, he would do anything for that, "We are not close enough for me to tell you one of my biggest secrets, no? You are my client, but our agreement is just to clear your breeding ground."

[I see. It's fair.] The God Rank was quite realistic and not offended that Tang Shaoyang asked something for the story. He knew that Tang Shaoyang was in dire need of anything to get stronger. He had witnessed how the madman risked his life, fighting Flame Elder Wyrm while exhausted. [Let me check my collections. I might have something useful for you.]

[At this point, I want you to reach God Realm so we can meet. You have a lot of things that I am curious about.] The tone was friendly, but the wordings were ominous. It was as if the God Rank wanted to do some experiment on him. [Don't worry. I don't do experiments on fellow God Rank. That's a taboo, and the other God Ranks might band together and will kill me if I do that. There's no need to worry about that, but I want your dragon girl's knowledge. She is a Primal Being, and maybe, the last of her species. I want her knowledge.] The God Rank talked about Avyn for sure because Avyn inherited her ancestor's memories that were useless to Tang Shaoyang, but very useful to someone who wanted to do a lot of experiments on monsters.

Avyn was prohibited to share the information with Tang Shaoyang which was why it was useless, but not for the God Rank. The God Rank being was free from System's restriction, and Avyn could share the knowledge once Tang Shaoyang reached God Rank. They might find a way to free Avyn from her isolated world.

"I think we can talk about that once we meet, but you need to pay for the knowledge. What about if you prepare the payment? Like how do I get her out of her isolated world? You know that she is still alive, right? Not a dead spirit," Tang Shaoyang asked the God Rank how to get Avyn out. That might benefit him in the upcoming fight because Avyn was God Rank.

[That can be arranged, and it's indeed an interesting topic, exploring the isolated world. I am also curious about her world, and maybe I can get her Ancestor's dead body for my experiment too. You have the deal, but I need you alive to make it come true. Here you are, I finally found three useful things in my collections. They are useless for me, but they might help you.]
