Awakened Talent: 10,000 Exp Converter!

"Watch carefully, as Big Sis takes care of that disgusting creature," Valyn said, stretching briefly.

As she gazed sharply at the massive primal, an illusory fox tail appeared behind her, followed by a milky aura surrounding her figure.

Your next read is at empire

In the next second, her figure blurred as she rushed forward, leaving afterimages with her speed.

When the Decayed Skinny Giant caught sight of the speeding Valyn, it let out a hollow growl and hurled its long, rotting arm!

Growl!

Because of its huge figure, Valyn’s speed allowed her to easily dodge it.

Bang!

A cloud of dust rose when the giant zombie’s arm hit the ground.

Valyn jumped over its arm, used it as a platform, and ran on it, heading toward its massive head.

When she reached its massive head, a milky aura, sharp like claws, formed on her fingers. Without hesitation, she flashed to the top of its head and, with a strong and quick motion, stabbed down her claws, digging deep into its rotting brain.

Growl!

The Decayed Skinny Giant growled—not in pain but in annoyance. It wanted to remove Valyn from its head with its free hand; however, Valyn pierced its head again with her other hand and twisted her arms while still deep in its brain.

Immediately, the Decayed Skinny Giant’s movements and noises halted. Both its arms fell lifelessly, followed by its entire figure. Valyn had already retreated to a distance.

With a heavy thud, it fell to the ground and soon collapsed into particles of digital light.

Dead.

A massive Tier 3 primal was instantly dead before it could even display its might.

Valyn then appeared next to Vincent after retrieving the items dropped by the Decayed Skinny Giant.

With a bright smile that seemed to light the Dark Forest, she asked, "How’s Big Sis’ performance?"

Vincent gave an approving nod as he said, "It was amazing!"

Although he did not witness all the abilities of a ’normal’ Tier 3 primal, he was a fan of Valyn’s fighting style. She immediately eliminated her enemy, knowing she had the strength to toy with it.

Hearing his response, Valyn giggled softly.

"It was nothing. Come on, let’s go. I’ve already cleared our path."

With that, they continued toward their destination: the Tower of Illusion.

Several moments later, Vincent was immediately alarmed when he heard a deep and reverberating roar in the distance, but Valyn nonchalantly pressed on with Fenro.

Vincent was confused.

The last time something blocked their path, Valyn had made Fenro halt, and she eliminated the blocking primal first.

Based on the roar he heard, it was likely another Tier 3 primal or even stronger.

Just as he was wondering, a different sound pierced the air and reverberated through the silent Dark Forest.

Screech!

Next, an ear-splitting howl cut through the air.

Howl!

Soon, tens of different sounds reverberated in their ears as they delved further into the Dark Forest. Despite this, Valyn pressed on without concern.

During this series of sounds, Mochi kept silent on Vincent’s shoulder, cautiously looking around.

Vincent, on the other hand, was not particularly worried but could not suppress his curiosity. Therefore, he spread out his mental perception, quickly scanning the area far ahead of them.

At that moment, Valyn sensed Vincent’s mental perception and was surprised. Vincent’s energy was so dense and could already extend over a significant distance despite his current level.

She could not help but wonder to herself, How can his mental perception be this strong?

Based on Vincent’s performance in the Tower of Combat, she had assumed his strength was primarily physical. However, upon observing his mental perception, she realized she might have been mistaken.

Though she was curious, she did not disturb him and allowed him to do as he pleased.

The next thing Vincent saw was a group of massive creatures. He immediately halted his mental perception in shock, but his expression quickly changed to one of confusion beneath his mask.

He saw a figure of a western dragon that he had only ever read about in books. It wasn’t alone—there were other mythical and fantastical creatures roaring in the distance.

They all appeared mighty, radiating Tier 3-level pressure. However, when his Heaven Eyes activated, the mythical creatures vanished into nothing but empty air.

He finally understood what was happening.

Retracting his mental perception and regaining his senses, he muttered, "So, it was all an illusion…"

Upon hearing his words, Valyn was unsurprised that Vincent quickly deduced the truth, though she felt a tinge of bitterness.

The first time she had experienced those illusions, she had nearly peed herself in fright.

The source of the illusions was the residual energy from the Tower of Illusion—a cluster of mental energy that created illusions in the surrounding area.

Soon after feeling a slight discomfort, Vincent once again saw the familiar archaic tower. However, it had a darker appearance this time.

Compared to the bleak environment of the Dark Forest, the surroundings of the Tower of Illusion were bright. The tower was situated in the middle of a clear area, as if the space had been intentionally cleaned.

Aside from the usual leaderboard rankings, there were numerous stalls around the tower, and many Origin Warriors of different races were roaming about.

Strangely, unlike the hostile atmosphere surrounding the Tower of Combat, most people here seemed focused on their own business rather than on everyone around them.

Before stepping into view of the crowd, Valyn had already donned her mask.

Valyn then spoke, "You must be wondering why the atmosphere here is so different from that outside the Tower of Combat?"

Although he wasn’t particularly interested, Vincent still nodded in response.

"Unlike the Tower of Combat, where you fight against other challengers, in the Tower of Illusion, you’ll be battling various primals in their energy forms using only your mental energy," Valyn explained. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"But keep in mind, that’s not all there is to it. You’ll be in for some surprises the deeper you challenge it," she added.

With slightly furrowed brows, he responded, "But I don’t have any mental offensive skills…"

Well, he did have one, but it wasn’t a true offensive mental skill.

Valyn chuckled.

"That’s why it’s a training exercise. But you’ve got nothing to worry about. From what I’ve seen, you won’t die on the first level—but you’ll have to figure out a way to fight your way through."

"Additionally, when you die in the Tower of Illusion, you won’t lose your access to the Origin World. However, you will enter a weakened state," she added.

Vincent nodded as it piqued his interest.
