A day had passed after their return. Vincent is now meeting with Yulia and Severin who had just reported about Karsten's challenge to him.

"An access to the 15th Tower's Immortal Challenge… That's certainly enticing. It's a good thing that you're confident in my combat skills, Yulia." Vincent replied with a smile. After all, if he loses the match, it wasn't him who will bear the consequences but her.

He finds it quite amusing.

"Haha… It just shows how I trust your unique fighting style. Well, I'm pretty sure that even if you're completely blind, you can beat that arrogant man. I already had Yasin investigate him so I'm even more confident now."

"Oh? What's the result of the investigation?"

"Although he reached the level of an Adept Mage, he has done it with the help of numerous medicines from their alchemists. They were loaded with money after all. As for his Tier 4 Mana Arts, it has something to do with Growth Modification. There were rumors that there is a small horn on his head that is covered by his hair."

"Really? In any case, since he's Elena's older brother, I'm sure that he still has decent skills. Elena has incredible control over her Mana after all." Vincent replied as he recalled her incredible Mana Bullets.

To be honest, he really wanted to learn this technique so after he gained access to Ignacy's library, he immediately tried looking for the skill books that may allow him to learn Tier 2 Mana Arts.

Luckily, his hard work paid off!

It was probably because of the Rejuvenation Pill or the enhanced Mana Upheaval Potion, he could finally learn Tier 2 Mana Arts!

Perhaps, if he was able to get that Magus Essence Potion, he might even get a chance of learning Tier 3 Mana Arts. The chances are low but that's certainly something he would look forward to.

'I haven't tried fighting using my Tier 2 Mana Arts yet… I'm still not used to it so that guy is probably a good way to measure my skills.' Vincent thought as using his Pseudo-Celestial Energy to cast a Tier 2 Mana Art is quite destructive.

It must be remembered that all Tier 2 Mana Arts were techniques that send out mana out of the Mana Practitioners' bodies. They were like Mana Bullet, Mana Dome, Mana Wave, Mana Burst, and Mana Sword.

They were the most commonly seen Tier 2 Mana Arts and practitioners would learn them in their early days of cultivation. Well, that is except for those practitioners who have poor talent in cultivation like Vincent who needed many years in order to advance.

Anyway, Vincent immediately had her arrange the challenge as quickly as possible so he can already get access to the Immortal Project aside from practicing his new combat style.

"Right, I forgot to mention… Yasin also reported that Karsten's company seems to have Celestial Beings working for them. He hasn't confirmed whether they were really Celestials but there is a high chance considering their status within the Black Tower." Yulia reminded.

She was simply implying to bring over Tara and Rem in the duel to ensure that he wouldn't get taken advantage of by Karsten's scheme if he ever has.

Vincent took this seriously as he mentioned it to the two immediately.

After this meeting, Vincent ordered Severin to send over all the pills his team has made in the past few days.

"There were a total of 200 pills made, Sir Vincent."

"That's great… If the remaining ingredients weren't things I've enhanced, send them to my room as well."

"I will… About the items in the magic shop…"

"Send them over as well…" Vincent replied with understanding. It's not easy to earn money after all. He has to work hard and keep enhancing or ascending lots of items.

In any case, his grind has become several times easier,

Once it was sent to his room, he can finally begin his grind.

In truth, he's already reaching the Item Ascendence Skill Level 8 so he's very excited to ascend these pills for the experience.

This means that Vincent is closely reaching the third stage of his Item Awakening System!

Once he managed to activate his Transcendence Skill, his magic tools will finally have Item Skills!

Most of his equipment right now had to use either the One-Time Transcendence Card or the One-Time Item Random Skill Card to get their active or passive skills. Now that he already spent all of them, acquiring new weapons or equipment wouldn't really affect his combat style.

What he needed right now is the advancement of his System!

Vincent spent his whole night using his Pseudo-Celestial Energy to advance the items and thanks to one of the skills he learned in the library, his recovery rate has gone a lot faster.

Halfway through this, Vincent finally received the notification from his system confirming the advancement of his Item Ascension Skill!

[ Name: Vincent Kayser ]

[ Age: 15 years old ]

[ Pseudo Celestial Energy: 1850/2090 ]

[ System Skill: Item Enhancement Lv9, Item Ascension Lv8 ]

[ System Feature: Advanced Item Appraisal, Auto Enhancement Mode, Enhancement Erasure, Learn Skill, 20-Slot Inventory, Item Sense ]

[ Mana Arts:

Tier 1 Mana Arts List: Mana Gloves ( Perfected ), Surging Palm Strike ( Perfected ), Swift Wave ( Perfected ), Shrouded Steps ( Perfected ), Mana Shield ( Advanced ), Mana Drain ( Advanced ). Corrosive Mana ( Intermediate )

Tier 2 Mana Arts List: Mana Bullet ( Beginner ), Mana Distortion ( Beginner ), Guidance ( Beginner ), Silent Tracer ( Beginner ) ]

[ Soul Arts :

1-Star: Aura Manifestation, Soul Boost, Skin Enhancement

2-Star: Soul Sense, Weak Aura Resonance, Muscle Enhancement

3-Star: Soul Pressure, Domain, Aura Resonance, Soul Forge, Soul Gaze, Aura Pulse ]

Needless to say, all the Tier 2 Mana Arts that were added to his skill list were learned in the library.

Furthermore, he also learned two more 3-Star Level Soul Arts! They were the Soul Gaze and Aura Pulse!

In truth, he has a few more Soul Arts that he wanted to learn there but he needs to increase his Soul Cultivation. Unfortunately, it would probably take him a year or two to get the requirement for that.

It was a shame that even Ignacy doesn't have a stronger visualization method than what his Grandpa Raizen had given to him or else, he could've gone a bit faster in his Soul Cultivation.

This night has been very fruitful to Vincent as he suddenly felt someone was looking at him behind the windows of his room…

'Ahh! Krusk! I forgot about you!'
