Chapter 35: Yale’s Breakthrough

Yale’s Water Battle Armor faded completely, and the lights in the sky also disappeared.

At that moment, the energy in Yale’s body finally made a breakthrough reaching the 2-star mortal realm before the end of his first day as a student in the Nacesai Academy.

As Yale made the breakthrough, the system’s notifications appeared.

“The user reached Origin Level 2 by creating an Origin Skill and triggering the world’s reaction.”

“The limits on stats and Origin Points increased to 20.”

“Origin Points increased and restored.”

“Frost Wolf Bloodline activated reinforcing the user’s body, stats increased.”

“The accumulated understanding about elements reinforced the user’s mind, stats increased.”

“The user completed a hidden requirement by creating an Origin Skill. The user acquired the Boost Skill [Emergency Recovery] as a reward.”

“Requirements to reach Origin Level 3: Increase the stats and the Origin Points to the limit before reaching the age of ten and a half.”

Yale was surprised as he didn’t expect the stats increase nor the new Boost Skill, he went to the Stats Menu to check his stats before doing anything else.

“Name: Yale Roanmad | Age: 10 | Origin Level:2 |Origin Points: 11/11”

“Vitality: 11 | Strength: 14 | Agility: 14 | Intelligence: 15 | Wisdom: 15 | Dexterity: 11”

Yale looked with shock at his own stats; he didn’t expect that the Frost Wolf Bloodline would benefit him that much after he made a breakthrough to the 2-star mortal realm.

However, Yale didn’t take into an account that the Frost Wolf’s Bloodline was still of a higher level than him and when he obtained it, Yale was almost at the limit of his stats, so he didn’t absorb all the power within the bloodline.

Then, it was normal that its effects were still notable to Yale after increasing his limits. Sadly, the effects of the bloodline regarding vitality weren’t high.

The enlightenment and the understanding of the elements could also improve the stats, but that was something that affected anyone when obtains enlightenment or improves the understanding of elements to a certain point.

However, Yale awakened the system with the Intelligence and Wisdom Points at the max, so when afterward he had enlightenment or obtained more understanding about an element, he couldn’t increase any stat.

Those increase effects accumulated and appeared when Yale expanded his limits after the breakthrough, giving him a huge boost.

Yale had trained in a lot of elements and also gained some understanding about the time element. Furthermore, he obtained a complete beast bloodline that could temper his body.

Then, Yale had a more significant increase in stats than usual kids when he breakthrough to the 2-star mortal real.

Even if those increases belonged to Yale since before advancing and were only unable to affect him due to the realm restrictions, Yale still felt that he was cheating.

However, as he had another time limit to reach the 3-star mortal real, any help was welcome.

If Yale hadn’t had such good luck and only reached the Origin Level 2 when his time was almost exhausted, Yale would just have a little more than three more months to enter the Origin Level 3, that seemed too complicated.

Increasing the stats was easier after starting practicing as the Origin Qi could nurture his body and mind, Yale didn’t need to rely on the mortal training like before.

However, Yale had the premonition that the time limits would still exist after he advanced again, the Origin Path had harsh requirements after all.

Then the quicker he advanced, the better, Yale feared that if he were slow in the first stages, he wouldn’t be able to continue progressing at some point.

That would be a real calamity for Yale as he couldn’t train any other path after starting practicing the Origin Path.

Afterward, Yale went to the Skill Menu to take a look at his new Boost Skill, that skill was a great surprise as Yale didn’t expect to fulfill another hidden requirement by creating an Origin Skill.

“Emergency Recovery: Restores all the Origin Points instantly, but the user would be unable to create any Origin Qi in his body for the same number of hours as Origin Points restored.”

That skill was one that shouldn’t be lightly used as it would have severe consequences after using it.

Yale could use it to restore all his power immediately but would enter in a weakened state incapable of fighting afterward due to a lack of Origin Qi.

However, in a life and death situation when he already was depleted of Origin Qi, he could save his life using Emergency Recovery even if he only used it to flee.

Yale’s overall strength had increased a lot thanks to his breakthrough.

However, as he was still in the midst of his lesson with Swordmad, Yale didn’t have time to enjoy it.

“Congratulations for becoming a 2-star mortal. Now we can do our one-hour training with the sword.”

Swordmad didn’t count testing the skill from before as part of the lesson, Swordmad wanted one hour of sword training with Yale, and he would have one hour of sword training with Yale.

Yale already expected that, so drew his sword and started his regular training with Swordmad.

Ten minutes later, Yale started using his Sparkling Sword, that was a good time to get some pointers from his master.

“Oh, a Combined Skill using sparks in the sword, not bad.”

Then, Swordmad smiled.

“However, that skill is still too immature.”

At that moment lightning appeared in Swordmad’s sword, and Yale couldn’t hide the shock from his face.

He wasn’t shaken because Swordmad’s skill was incredibly more powerful than his own skill, that was obvious.

It was because Swordmad using a Combined Skill indicated that he was a dual practitioner and not only someone who followed the Warrior Path as everyone thought.

“Look, that’s how a sword fused with lightning should look. That was the first Sword Combined Skill that I mastered; you made me remember old times.”

Swordmad laughed and dissipated the skill; he didn’t want to use it against Yale only show it to him.

“The user upgraded the Combined Skill [Sparkling Sword] to Level 2.”

“The user upgraded the Magic Skill [Spark] to Level 5.”

Swordmad’s display deepened Yale’s understanding of the skill provoking a breakthrough in his thunder-related skills. As he had a Perfect Grade in that element improving his understanding was easier than other elements with lower affinity.

“You don’t need to look that shocked. My main path is the Warrior Path, but I also have some past with the Magus Path, even if my level in it couldn’t compare to the one I have in Warrior’s Path, it isn’t that far from it.”

Swordmad laughed again with a nostalgic expression on his face.

Dual Practitioners were rare, but at the same time, those who have become dual practitioner successfully were able to become real experts, even if their paths weren’t balanced.

That’s why anyone who managed to reach Rank 1 in both paths was able to open a limitless future, and some geniuses like George dual practiced only for that reason.

Even if someone had the intention to focus on only one path afterward, open the possibility also to train the other path was too tentative.

Because the dual practitioners could use Combined Skills, and a lot of Warrior liked that even if they didn’t want cast ordinary spells.

Swordmad also belonged to that category, he didn’t like to cast spells, but the Combined Skill tempted him when he was young and ended up becoming a dual practitioner for the sake of the Combined Skills.

However, there were only a few geniuses who managed to that, trying to dual practice could let the practitioner without reaching the Rank 1 in any path, that would be trashing themselves.

Because of that reason, few people dared to seriously dual practice even if it had several advantages. At most, most people would only do like archers and train the other path until the 9-star mortal realm after becoming sixteen.

Yale had stopped his Sparkling Sword after Swordmad showed his own version.

As the skill already level up and Spark also reached the fifth level, Yale decided to save Origin Points to use Tri-sword a few times, also hoping to upgrade it to the fifth level.

Swordmad was pleased to see that Yale didn’t neglect training a Sword Battle Skill aside from Magic and Combined ones.

Yale felt that he understood more the Battle Skill as long as he continued to attack Swordmad, having a powerful master helped a lot to comprehend difficult skills.

Yale was exhausted, but when he used his last Origin Point, the system finally reacted.

“The user upgraded the Battle Skill [Tri-sword] to Level 5.”

“User obtained the Combined Skill [Tri-sparkling Sword] as a sub-quest reward.”

Yale as always went to check the new skill in the Skill Menu.

“Tri-sparkling Sword: Three consecutive strikes with a lightning infused sword. It requires 3 Origin Points. Mastery at level 20. Using this Combined Skill could also increase the level of [Spark] and [Tri-sword]”

The cost was a bit higher than the sum of t both skills cost, but using it could increase proficiency in the three skills, so the cost wasn’t bad.

Finally, Yale went to the Quest Menu as he had a new sub-quest.

“Master three different skills. Reward: Intelligence and Wisdom increase.”

That sub-quest was simple to explain but hard to complete quickly.

Yale already mastered one skill, so he only needed two more, but even Spark and Tri-sword were only at halfway to master.

However, even if it was hard, it was only matter of time, and the even if the stats increase rewards quantity wasn’t detailed, any increase was significant to Yale.

Swordmad’s lesson finished without any more surprises.

“Good, your swordplay has improved a lot, seems that you have been training hard.”

After praising his disciple, he left without saying any more.

Then, Yale went to meet his sister and Wyba. He noticed them before, but he didn’t dare to stop attacking to greet them as Swordmad was very strict in the lessons and hated that anything interrupts him.
