Awakened Talent: 10,000 Exp Converter!

"There's no way it's gone!"

They could hardly believe their eyes. The skill that had remained in the Tower's Exchange for an eternity had suddenly vanished.

For years, many Origin Warriors had considered the skill unattainable, its requirements nothing short of absurd.

The Novice Continent was a huge continent. Naturally, there were several Tower of Fundamentals all over the continent.

Therefore, Origin Warriors from all over the Novice Continent who were challenging the Tier 3 of Tower of Illusions closest to their Sanctuaries, had taken notice of it.

The skill required an extraordinary amount of Tower Points—a staggering half a million.

Tower Points were notoriously difficult to earn. The Towers of Fundamentals doled them out sparingly, making the task of accumulating 500,000 points an almost Herculean effort.

Faced with such overwhelming difficulty, most Novice Origin Warriors chose a different path. Rather than wasting precious years attempting to gather the required points, they ascended to higher continents, seeking greater challenges and rewards.

However, there were a select few who were stubborn enough—or perhaps daring enough—to bet everything. They remained behind, dedicating years of their lives to painstakingly accumulate Tower Points, all for the chance to exchange them for the sole Legendary-grade skill within the Tower of Illusions.

For these warriors, the skill was more than just a prize; it was a dream, a symbol of their relentless perseverance.

So, when word spread that the skill had disappeared, the news hit like a thunderbolt. Many couldn't handle the shock and collapsed on the spot, as though their very reason for existing had been torn away.

It wasn't just a loss; it was a complete and utter devastation of hope.

Still, not everyone gave in to despair. A handful of warriors with calmer dispositions quickly turned their attention to the Tier 3 Leaderboard Rankings.

If someone had managed to exchange for the Legendary skill, it would likely be one of the top-ranking warriors. Surely, a feat of this magnitude couldn't go unnoticed.

But to their astonishment, the leaderboard remained unchanged.

The same names occupied the top spots, and none of them seemed capable of amassing the required points. The mystery only deepened.

Confusion turned into a burning curiosity. Who had managed to claim the legendary skill?Nôv(el)B\\jnn

For a while, warriors across the continent debated and speculated, but soon they were forced to accept reality. Resigned to their fate, many decided to use their Tower Points to purchase rare-grade items before they, too, vanished. After all, the Tower's Exchange had already run out of epic-grade items.

But when they accessed the Exchange, they were met with another crushing revelation—rare-grade items had also been wiped clean. All that remained were the more common and uncommon-grade items.

This discovery was too much for many. Several Tier 3 Origin Warriors coughed up blood, their frustration and disappointment reaching a boiling point, before fainting on the spot.

Others, sensing the urgency, hurriedly exchanged their points for whatever was left, unwilling to risk losing everything they had painstakingly saved.

Meanwhile, the cause of this unprecedented chaos, Vincent, could only let out a wry smile.

"They were fast…" he muttered, shaking his head.

Vincent had just cleared the ninth level of the Tier 3 Challenge. While exchanging his hard-earned points for items, he had watched in amazement as the Tower's Exchange was swiftly emptied by frantic warriors across the continent.

He had planned to exchange his remaining points for uncommon and common-grade items, but they had disappeared before his very eyes.

Now, with one final level remaining to complete the Tier 3 Challenge, Vincent found himself at a crossroads.

"Should I do it? I don't really need more Tower Points…" he mused, weighing his options.

Clearing the trial would undoubtedly place his name on the leaderboard, drawing unwanted attention from powerful organizations and influential figures.

"It doesn't matter," Vincent finally decided. "I can always hide my strength with Astral Immunity…"

With his mind made up, Vincent moved forward, ready to face the final challenge.

The last trial awaited him, and it was nothing short of terrifying.

Standing before him were ten Peak Tier 3 Primals. Each stood an imposing four meters tall, their hooded black robes billowing eerily as they floated several feet off the ground. In their hands, they wielded specialized staffs that pulsed with ominous energy.

They were known simply as Mentapaths — Tier 3 (5★).

Below the Mentapaths stretched an overwhelming army of thousands of Primals, ranging from Tier 1 to Tier 3.

The sheer magnitude of the opposition would have broken the spirit of any ordinary challenger.

But Vincent was far from ordinary.

From his previous battles, Vincent estimated his mental power to be on par with Tier 3 (3-4★). However, his greatest asset wasn't raw strength but the Legendary-grade skill Astral Immunity.

This skill rendered him completely immune to mental attacks, a boon that was almost certainly designed for the Tower of Illusions' brutal challenges.

Without hesitation, Vincent initiated the battle.

He appeared within the enemy army in an instant, unleashing his full arsenal of mental skills:

Astral Clones

Mental Shatter

Astral Sanctuary

Psychic Storm

Mental Domination

One after another, his abilities decimated the opposition. To maintain this relentless onslaught, Vincent absorbed Origin Crystals continuously, fueling his attacks.

The Primals retaliated with a barrage of mental attacks, but their efforts were futile. Against Vincent's Astral Immunity, their assaults felt no more threatening than a gentle breeze.

After five grueling minutes, the battlefield fell silent. Vincent had emerged victorious.

[You now have access to the Special Section of the Tower's Exchange!]

"Special Section? What's that?" Vincent wondered aloud.

Curious, he accessed the Tower's Exchange and noticed a new tab labeled "Special Section," glowing brightly.

Inside was a single item:

Name: Gu Zhenchen Key (⅓)

Cost: 1,000,000 Tower Points

Grade: Special

Details: One of three keys required to accept the inheritance of Gu Zhenchen.

"Gu Zhenchen? Who could that be?"

Vincent considered several possibilities. Perhaps it was the name of the Tower's creator, an ancient ancestor, or simply a figure of great renown.

Whatever the case, the key intrigued him.

Its cost alone—higher than even a Legendary-grade skill—hinted at its extraordinary value.

"What kind of inheritance could be worth more than a Legendary-grade skill?"

As Vincent pondered, his name shot to the top of the ranking leaderboard, sending shockwaves through the Tower of Illusions and beyond.
