Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 721 - 637 Comprehensive Upgrade
This is a room that reveals a touch of luxury within its simplicity.
With only a few pieces of furniture, no decorations, and a very ordinary style, it seems indistinguishable from the common.
But from the materials of the furniture and some subtle details, one can see how meticulously the furniture in this room is crafted.
Kane is lying on the bed in the room, his fingers idly playing in the void, as he flips through a book invisible to others.
The reason Kane is browsing the Book of Adventure here is because he has acquired too many Golden Magic Stones at once, and is contemplating how to use them.
Including those exchanged by guild members, Kane now has a total of 6 Golden Magic Stones, which is definitely a huge sum for him right now.
This unexpected fortune will bring Kane an extremely exaggerated level of help.
Therefore, he needs to carefully consider how to use this Golden Magic Stone pile.
After all, his needs are huge, with numerous skills needing upgrades and new skills needing extraction; Kane needs to balance between these two.
First and foremost is "Smart Learning," which definitely needs to be upgraded initially.
This skill inexplicably binds with "Divine Power," and to use Divine Power without bearing its side effects, Kane must use the golden version of "Smart Learning" to stabilize himself.
No other choice, after experiencing the side effects of "Divine Power" once outside, Kane is reluctant to use it again.
His emotions and personality becoming influenced by Divine Power to shift towards a certain divine direction is something Kane cannot accept.
Therefore, before acquiring the Golden level of "Smart Learning," Kane absolutely won't touch this skill outside.
"Divine Martial Gaze," Kane's only range scouting skill, also very useful, needs to be put on his agenda.
"Intermediate Magic Power Reserve," which Kane needs to upgrade to increase total magic power, too.
For Kane, magic power is always better more than less.
As for the others, not as urgent as these three.
So, Kane decides to extract three and upgrade three skills.
After upgrading these three skills, other skills won't be excessively urgent.
Still maintaining the decision of extracting one and upgrading one.
Can't abandon acquiring new skills because of upgrading old skills; new skills always bring Kane unexpected surprises.
Determined, Kane immediately takes out a Golden Magic Stone and a Silver Magic Stone from his Space Equipment.
Then takes "Smart Learning" from the Skill Stone storage, and flips to the Extraction Array.
Putting the three items into the Extraction Array together.
[Do you wish to upgrade this Skill from Silver to Gold?]
[Yes][No]
Yes
[The array is running, please wait...]
[Upgrade complete]
As the array operated, after a flash of brilliance.
A brand new Golden Skill Stone appeared in Kane's hand.
Looking at the new skill in his hand, Kane wasted no time and checked it directly.
[Name: Soul Ascension]
[Category: Passive Skill]
[Color: Golden]
[Explanation: When this passive skill is placed in the skill grid, the soul will ascend and strengthen, during which any alterations or damage targeting the soul will be significantly reduced. Modifications and damage below a certain level will be completely ineffective.
After soul ascension and strengthening, any attributes related to the soul, spirit, and brain will be improved.]
[Introduction: The soul of intelligent beings is the most special and complex among all souls, and the ascension of the soul represents the life improvement of intelligent beings.]
Kane looks at the skill introduction in his hand.
This seems to have nothing to do with the upgraded version of "Smart Learning," completely like two different skills, hard to imagine they are levels apart.
The ability to resist the side effect of emotional assimilation brought by using "Divine Power" might be the defensive power in spirit and soul aspect brought by soul enhancement.
Looking at the latter part of the introduction, the memory improvement, understanding enhancement, and various learning abilities that "Smart Learning" had, are functions attached due to soul enhancement.
After roughly understanding, Kane puts this skill aside.
Then continues as before, taking out another Golden and Silver Magic Stone, and takes another skill that needs upgrading from the storage, "Intermediate Magic Power Reserve."
Putting the three items into the Extraction Array together.
[Do you wish to upgrade this Skill from Silver to Gold?]
[Yes][No]
Yes
[The array is running, please wait...]
[Upgrade complete]
As the array operated, after a flash of brilliance.
A brand new Golden Skill Stone appeared in Kane's hand.
Checking the attributes of the skill in his hand.
[Name: Advanced Magic Power Reserve]
[Category: Passive Skill]
[Color: Golden]
[Explanation: When equipped with this skill, a Magic Power Storage will appear within the body, capable of storing a portion of the current total magic power. Silver 100%, Gold 50%, Colorful 20%~5%.]
[Introduction: In a world where magic is prevalent, too many low-level mages perish due to insufficient magic power reserves. A certain magic organization invented the Magic Power Reserve to improve this situation.
Later on, low-level mages accustomed to the Magic Power Reserve grew and upgraded the skill they've kept for so long into an Intermediate Magic Power Reserve.
Some of the strong among them altered it into an Advanced Magic Power Reserve.]
This skill seems to have little difference from the previous "Intermediate Magic Power Reserve," even the introduction and explanation are similar.
After all, this skill likely has an upgrade route, from initial to intermediate to advanced, and later on, probably the ultimate.
The increase in magic power is also equivalent, very fitting to the mage's order.
Although it didn't bring anything unforeseen, it achieved its intended effect.
Without further ado, Kane inserts this skill stone into the skill grid.
Once again feeling the magic power boost experienced at the silver level.
Ah, the familiar feeling has returned.
Now it's time for the final skill stone upgrade.
A Golden Magic Stone, a Silver Magic Stone, Skill Stone "Divine Martial Gaze."
Placed the three items together into the Extraction Array.
[Upgrade this Skill Silver → Gold?]
[Yes][No]
Yes
[Array is running, please wait...]
[Upgrade complete]
As the array circulated, after a flash of light,
a brand new golden skill stone appeared in Kane's hand.
Checked the attributes of the new skill stone in hand.
[Name: Divine Gaze]
[Category: Passive Skill]
[Color: Golden]
[Explanation: Equipping this skill will transform the eyes into the Eyes of the Gods, possessing god-like vision and perception.
Able to perceive rules, detect rules, and discover the unknown.
Including but not limited to, seeing through the enemy's attack, finding the enemy's weakness, observing the enemy's rule attributes, even foreseeing the enemy's impending attacks, detecting overwhelming enemies, avoiding potential dangers, and sensing things that ordinary people cannot perceive.]
[Introduction: Gods are inherently the embodiment of a world's rules, transformed from the original rules of the world.
The eyes of the gods allow them to see more clearly and distinctly, driving them to madness, or enabling them to grow.]
This new skill… feels quite similar to [Divine Power], even the names seem like a series of skills.
Though it was said like that, just from the introduction and explanation, [Divine Gaze]'s various effects are extremely absurd.
Having a name related to [Divine Power] and considered a series skill means it's equally powerful.
The mere sight of this skill is quite astounding.
What Kane values most is the point above, to see through the enemy's rule attributes.
This means being able to use this skill to see what rules the enemy has learned, if Kane hasn't misunderstood.
Although they haven't fought against golden-level enemies many times, the rules have indeed greatly impacted them.
Without knowing the enemy's rules, one can only guess through clues, many rules, like Kane's past reversals, have a first-time kill effect.
For example, Longbei was once directly turned into a wild boar.
If such a situation occurs in a duel or a 2-on-1 scenario, the advantage can be immediately lost.
Therefore, this skill's attribute is what Kane values most now.
Only now did Kane notice that the three skills he upgraded today were all passive skills.
At this time, he glanced at the skill stone in the skill grid and pondered.
Decided to upgrade another skill, leaving two golden magic stones to extract new skills.
Removed this skill from the skill grid, it was just used in the Guild Hall, [Glory Promotion].
Only now did Kane realize that upgrading this skill to gold would yield the greatest benefit for the entire guild.
As the strongest in the guild, possessing this skill would allow him to directly upgrade Kreya, Longbei, and Bonona all at once.
This would greatly enhance their combat power and various attributes.
At least giving them an advantage among the same level, this cannot be denied.
Since this was realized, there was no hesitation, he directly took out a golden and a silver magic stone again.
Placed the three items together into the Extraction Array.
[Upgrade this Skill Silver → Gold?]
[Yes][No]
Yes
[Array is running, please wait...]
[Upgrade complete]
As the array circulated, after a flash of light,
a brand new golden magic stone appeared in Kane's hand.
Kane couldn't wait to check the new skill in his hand.
He was somewhat anticipating this skill.
[Name: Glory Promotion] (Unique)
[Category: Active Skill]
[Color: Golden]
[Explanation: Consumes magic power to promote a target life unit in front of you.
Promotion unit requirements: The promotee's strength must not exceed the promoter's. The promotee must have a certain connection with the promoter.
Each life unit can be promoted once per level.]
[Introduction: A man-made rule created by a group of arcanists who could rival gods. They researched and developed it according to their needs and ideas over countless time, a rule that integrates many rule attributes of nature.]
...?
Kane was baffled upon seeing the skill's attributes.
Because the silver and golden skill attributes, along with the introduction and explanation, were not different at all.
The only difference between the two was the color changing from silver to golden, he didn't even bother to change the name.
This was the first time Kane encountered such a situation.
He couldn't help but directly insert the skill stone into the skill grid, studying it carefully.
With the infusion of new knowledge and experience, Kane instantly understood the difference between the two.
So that's why, it turns out I was lacking in insight.
However, Kane didn't immediately experiment with the new skill just yet, as there were still two golden magic stones awaiting his extraction.
Thinking of this, Kane gathered an eight-sided die in his hand.
Contemplating whether or not to roll this die.
At this moment, his heart tightened, and after some thought, he scattered the die again.
Kane inexplicably felt he might have foreseen something bad.
Looking at the new skill [Divine Gaze] in the skill stone storage.
Truly interesting.
