Chapter 420: Chapter 419: Rank Restrictions

"I only have one E-tier Talent, ’Thin Dragon Vein (Mixed),’ left in my possession now," he mused, "To continue upgrading the Scroll Dragon Bloodline Talent Level, I need to gather eight more, which means I need to slay about one hundred and sixty Big Saber Goblins."

Zhang Yanhang felt that with his current pace, killing so many Big Saber Goblins would only take a matter of minutes, meaning that he should be able to upgrade his Talent Level again soon.

"But hunting Big Saber Goblins isn’t urgent right now, I should first check the Soul points I’ve earned," Zhang Yanhang said as he opened his Soul points balance.

[Soul points: 9723 (+8926)]

"Did I actually gain this many Soul points? I remember my previous balance was around 797 points, but now it has increased to 9723."

Zhang Yanhang hadn’t had the chance to check his Soul points balance after clearing Raccoon City and had headed straight for the Goblin Plain, reflecting now, most of these 8926 gained Soul points must have come from Raccoon City, and only over a thousand from the Big Saber Goblins.

"Still, over a thousand is pretty good. If it were in Raccoon City, to get that many Soul points, I would have had to kill five to six hundred Zombies, which would be about one-tenth of the total Zombies during its prime, but now, just killing seventy to eighty Big Saber Goblins yielded this much."

Previously, Zhang Yanhang had estimated that perhaps he could gather enough Soul points required for upgrading ’Technique Immunity’ and ’Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil’ to Original Skill LV.6 and also had a chance of enhancing Limitless Universe Skill to LV.MAX.

But now, he had great confidence in raising Limitless Universe Skill to LV.MAX since, although the upgrading requirements for Limitless Universe Skill were tens of thousands of Soul points, they still paled compared to the Original Skill.

As long as he set aside a portion of his Soul points purely for Limitless Universe Skill, upgrading it to LV.MAX should not be a challenge.

"9723 Soul points, it seems like it’s not enough to upgrade anything except ’Supreme Will’. Should I upgrade ’Supreme Will’ now? No, perhaps I can raise my Profession Level?"

Zhang Yanhang liked this idea quite a bit, his Profession Level hadn’t been upgraded for a while (less than a week), as he previously had no spare Soul points.

Now, to upgrade to LV.14, it only required six thousand Soul points, and with nine thousand seven hundred twenty-three at his disposal, raising his Profession Level to LV.14 would be more than feasible.

Moreover, Zhang Yanhang thought about level upgrading not only because his Profession Level hadn’t been raised for some time but also because he wanted to use Free Attribute Points to enhance his Charm Attribute, indeed, he had made up his mind.

After all, although Charm is a Sub-attribute, it is still one of his five primary attributes and is worth the investment of Free Attribute Points.

Okay, primarily because after opening the Treasure box of Big Saber Goblins, he thought it unrealistic to find Charm-related Talents and Artifacts on these Dragon Vein Goblins, so he firmly decided to improve it, as he currently found no other suitable channels for enhancement.

Besides, even if he could find such channels, what type could instantly cover a gap of eleven points?

Such a large gap could definitely not be bridged by his current Second Tier Multiple Choice; at least he needed to fill half of this gap with Free Attribute Points first, then have some hope of resolving the remaining half with Multiple Choice.

[Name: Zhang Yanhang (Second Tier)]

[Race: Human]

[Profession: Heavenly Destiny Master]

[Level: LV.13 (0/6000)]

[Soul points: 9723]

"It really only takes six thousand Soul points, so let’s upgrade the Profession Level next," Zhang Yanhang muttered as he clicked to upgrade.

[Would you like to spend 6000 Soul points to raise the Profession Level to LV.14?]

"Yes, raise the Profession Level to LV.14."

Since, compared to other Skills or things like Limitless Universe Skill, the Soul points required for raising the Profession Level weren’t that high, Zhang Yanhang estimated that after clearing the Goblin Plain, he might even be able to raise his Profession Level to a higher level.

[Profession Level successfully raised to LV.14, Free Attribute Points +6.]

"Another six Free Attribute Points received, the Free Attribute Points I had saved from the First Tier Period and those obtained from upgrading have long been spent, and this painful period of not having any Free Attribute Points is finally over, but sadly, it will resume soon."

Zhang Yanhang decided to use all six newly acquired Free Attribute Points to enhance his Charm Attribute Value; afterward, his Free Attribute Points would again be depleted.

After upgrading his Profession Level, Zhang Yanhang immediately checked the number of Soul points needed to upgrade to LV.15.

[Name: Zhang Yanhang (Second Tier)]

[Race: Human]

[Profession: Heavenly Destiny Master]

[Level: LV.14 (0/8000)]

[Soul points: 3723 (-6000)]

"Just 3723 Soul points left, and upgrading to LV.15 would require eight thousand, a regular increase of two thousand Soul points from before," Zhang Yanhang reassured himself after seeing that the rising requirements for the Profession Level upgrades remained normal.

"Just now, by raising the Profession Level to LV.14, I reacquired six Free Attribute Points; let’s start enhancing Attribute values right away." But before that, Zhang Yanhang decided to take a glance at the Attribute list.

[Strength: 50 (+5[-4])]

[Agility: 50 (+5[-1])]

[Constitution: 50 (+5[-2])]

[Intelligence: 50 (+5[-1])]

[Charm: 39 (+19)]

"Just now, after Scroll Dragon Bloodline was raised to D-tier, Inestimable Wisdom helped increase one point in my Intelligence Attribute. So now, my Intelligence Attribute is only four points away from reaching the Second Tier Limit.

With the Intelligence Series Talent, Scroll Dragon Bloodline, it should be easy to bridge this four-point gap in Intelligence. Moreover, coupled with the future enhancements of Limitless Universe Skill, my Intelligence Attribute will likely even overflow."

But luckily, it wasn’t a big issue; based on Zhang Yanhang’s experience, the Intelligence Attribute gained from raising Talent Level won’t be wasted due to Rank restrictions but will instead take effect normally when he breaks the Rank limit, that is, upon reaching Third Tier.
