Master Changsheng

Chapter 183, page 180: Sixth Rank Achieved! [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Please select the method to enter Tier 6:

[1: Add attribute points to any one of the four attributes to advance to Tier 6.]

[Note: This is the most common method to reach Tier 6, typically applicable to those in the "Body Strengthening/Spirit Forging" professions from level 30 to 40.]

[2: Consume a certain amount of resources, using the power of heaven and earth/divine power to refine 'Intelligence/Strength', and after upgrading, enter the sixth tier.]

[Note: This is a method for "Genius" to enter the sixth tier, applicable to those with a "Body Strengthening/Spirit Forging" value below 60.]

[3: Consume double the resources, using the power of heaven and earth/divine power to refine 'Intelligence, Endurance/Stamina, Strength', and advance to Tier 6 after upgrading.]

[Note: This is the method for "Genius" to enter the sixth tier, applicable to professions where the "Body Strengthening/Spirit Forging" value is below 80.]

[4: Consuming vast amounts of resources, tempering oneself with the power of heaven and earth, refining three attributes, and advancing to the sixth tier after advancement!]

[Note: This is a method for "prodigies" to reach the sixth tier, applicable to those with a "Body Strengthening/Spirit Forging" value below 95!]

...

Suddenly, four system notifications appeared. An Kai glanced at his [Strengthening Body] and [Forging Spirit] stats, both at 100, and none of them seemed to be truly suitable for him.

Whether they are "prodigies" or "geniuses," in this respect, they are far behind me.

Just then, the system displayed another notification.

[5: Consuming enormous resources and aided by the power of heaven and earth, refine four attributes and acquire exclusive attribute effects, then advance to the sixth tier.]

[Note: This is the only method in the world to advance to the sixth rank, derived from scanning the host's physical attributes. Recommended for use.]

A new system notification appeared, and Ankai smiled.

Without even thinking, I chose this option.

Immediately afterward, a piece of information about advancing to the sixth rank suddenly appeared in An Kai's mind.

At the same time, the concepts of refining the four attributes and what refinement entailed appeared in Ankai's mind.

Prior to this, the sixth-order had blocked him, but he did not know exactly what the sixth-order was.

All I know is that the sixth rank is a process of significant physical enhancement.

He finally understood through the system's explanation of "attribute refinement".

The so-called significant physical enhancement is actually an upgrade in one's level of energy mastery!

No wonder someone like Pianzi, who comes from a powerful family, would say that only at the sixth rank can one be considered to have truly transcended the mortal body, while the first to fifth ranks are merely the foundation.

Similarly, advancement to the sixth rank also determines a person's upper limit.

Looking at it now, that's definitely the case!

With a thought, An Kai prepared to officially advance to the sixth rank!

[Consume 10 Medium-Grade Magic Stones to refine 'Intelligence'?]

[Consume 10 Medium-Grade Magic Stones to refine 'Stamina'?]

[Consume 10 Medium-Grade Magic Stones to refine 'Endurance'?]

[Consume 10 mid-grade magic stones to refine 'Power'?]

"40 mid-grade magic stones?!"

This enormous expenditure surprised An Kai.

Keep in mind that his spell proficiency increased from [Lv41] to [Lv50] using only 100 mid-grade magic stones!

And now, just one attribute requires 10 mid-grade magic stones!

It cannot be replaced with low-grade magic stones...

Ankai has 40 mid-grade magic stones.

Over the years, although major external forces have invested in the Divine Court, they have mostly invested in low-grade magic stone mines.

However, Ankai also found traces of some mid-grade magic stones among them.

They accumulated approximately 3 coins.

In addition, over the course of four and a half years, Ankai also managed to swindle around 5 mid-grade magic stones from those powerful forces.

In addition, over the course of four and a half years, the Good Family also provided Ankai with approximately 10 mid-grade magic stones.

These readily available items alone yielded approximately 18 mid-grade magic stones.

In addition, the former giant tortoise mid-grade magic stone mine also provided more than 20 mid-grade magic stones.

Moreover, in the four and a half years, a mid-grade "Spirit Gathering" magic stone mine appeared and was acquired by Ankai.

They gained another 30 mid-grade magic stones.

Subtract the four and a half years Ankai spent using [Spell Ascension] and the associated costs.

There are currently 421346 medium-grade magic stones remaining!

At the same time, the [Starry Sky Meditation Method] and [Elemental Meditation Method] also provided Ankai with 3364 mid-grade energy stones, which had the same effect as [mid-grade magic stones].

At this point, 40 mid-grade magic stones would be required at once.

An Kai hesitated for a moment…

After a moment's thought, An Kai figured out the key.

Resources are meant to enhance strength!

You can't catch a wolf without risking your cubs!

The changes brought about by upgrading with 40 mid-grade magic stones are bound to be extraordinary!

Grit your teeth and steel your resolve!

With a thought, 40 mid-grade magic stones piled up inside the mage tower vanished instantly!

The Mage Tower of Lazel was left completely empty...

[10 Medium-Grade Magic Stones]

[Intelligence attribute refinement in progress...]

[Medium grade...]

...

In an instant!

A vast and powerful force of heaven and earth suddenly appeared!

The energy provided by the mid-grade magic stone is intertwined with the power of heaven and earth!

It transformed into a "giant hammer" and struck An Kai's body!

With each strike of the "giant hammer," An Kai's strength would increase by one point.

As the power of heaven and earth continued to strike, An Kai's own aura suddenly spread out!

In just a few moments, the news spread throughout the Good Family!

At this moment, it doesn't matter who you are or what you're doing.

All beings living in the "House of Goodness" feel a great terror looming overhead!

They were so oppressed they couldn't even lift their heads!

Those beings who had contemplated leaving the home of goodness sensed this great terror, a terror compared to their memories…

They suddenly realized that even the seventh-tier professionals they remembered didn't possess such terrifying pressure!

"Is this the mysterious city lord from the House of Goodness?!"

"Hanks-Kay... he's that strong?!"

"With the restrictions lifted, can those powerful forces do anything to this lord?!"

"This is seventh rank?! No! It's definitely more than seventh rank!!!"

At this moment, many creatures in the city were speculating about An Kai's strength.

Such terrifying pressure was something they had never seen before in their lives.

Some who had seen eighth-tier professionals compared them in their minds and were shocked: "Even an eighth-tier professional is nothing special, right?"

In terms of sheer aura alone, Ankai is truly a top-tier professional in terms of aura!

Putting aside his numerous stacked pressure buffs, the fact that he can stand on equal footing with the power of heaven and earth, and acknowledge his own existence by pressing down on the power of heaven and earth, is something that no other living being can match.

Even with a naturally gifted profession, they are still far inferior to Ankai!

Just as Ankai was refining his attributes, unusual activity occurred not only at the House of Goodness.

The protective barrier surrounding the Divine Court is also vibrating at a high frequency!

The vibration caused a buzzing roar!

Such a violent tremor stirred the heart of the eighth-level leader of the Longevity Organization.

Looking around at the other eighth-tier leaders and the other faction leaders.

He laughed loudly, "See? It wasn't that I was wrong! It's that the Divine Court is brewing something big!"

"Everyone! Prepare yourselves, the barrier will be activated at this moment!"

"According to the division four and a half years ago, Hanks-Kay, the lord of the House of Goodness, belongs to our Longevity Organization, and the rest belong to you."

But as soon as he opened his mouth, someone voiced their opposition.

It was none other than the current princess of the Black Dragon Clan.

"I object."

"Four and a half years ago, your Longevity Organization wanted Ankai of Chaos City. What does that have to do with Hanks-Kay of the Good Family?"

The moment the Black Dragon Princess spoke, the eyes of the other officials lit up!

"That's right! You want Ankai of Chaos City, what does that have to do with Hanks-Kay of the Good Family?"

"I also object. I believe the House of Goodness, Hanks-Kay, belongs to our Mage Guild!"

"Bullshit! I'd say it belongs to our inter-race alliance meeting! After all, this guy has been serving our inter-race group!"

"Serving other races? I think it's enslaving other races!"

The other faction leaders, showing none of the dignity of eighth-tier professionals, immediately started arguing over the ownership of "Hanks-Kay".

The purpose was to seize ownership of "Hanks-Kay".

Completely ignoring the increasingly dark expression on the face of the leader of the Longevity Organization…

For four and a half years, the affairs of Ankai of Chaos City and Hanks-Kay of the House of Goodness have been one person's business, which is no secret among these powerful forces.

Indeed, four and a half years ago, people from powerful factions, unaware of Ankai's true value, agreed to the Changsheng Organization's demand for Ankai in Chaos City.

However, as time went on...

They discovered that the virtuous family had achieved its current power and influence.

I can't live without an important guy.

It is neither Wayne, who manages the city, nor the Good House Mage Guild, the Good House Forge Guild, or the like.

It's because of the Lord of the House of Goodness... Hanks Kay!

He was not a hands-off manager; he was involved in every step of the development of Good House.

And he is a highly talented [mage]!

Besides, after four and a half years of observation, these major powers have basically determined one thing.

Hanks Kay is definitely connected to the Heart of Poseidon!

This means that even if the [Divine Court] longevity secret method appears, it is still inextricably linked to "Hanks-Kay"!

Therefore, having understood Hanks-Kay's value, how could these powerful forces easily give up on "Hanks-Kay!"?

Fortunately, the Longevity Organization used the pseudonym Hanks-Kay back then…

Furthermore, the city's name was changed from "Chaos City" to "House of Goodness"...

"This is outrageous!"

The head of the Longevity Organization has a cold gaze.

Four and a half years of forbearance have only earned them their indifference.

If we continue to tolerate this, they might do something even more outrageous.

"Just wait. Once the restriction is lifted, my Longevity Organization will show you that you arrogant fools are nothing but ants to us!"

"What the elders said is indeed true; this world and these people are far too filthy!"

Just then, the tremors of the restriction disappeared!

As the many who were waiting prepared to enter, they discovered…

Prohibition…

It seems to be more sturdy...

"The Immortal Organization! You need to give me an explanation!"

...

A virtuous family.

The oppressive force that had enveloped the city of Good House, leaving everyone powerless to resist, vanished.

Inside Ankai Castle.

He slowly opened his eyes.

Descending from the air.

The 40 mid-grade magic stones have been exhausted.

A series of system prompts appeared before my eyes.

Ankai calmed himself down and summoned six exquisitely beautiful elven maids, enjoying their service.

While checking these system prompts…

[Refining 'intelligence' into 'spirit']

[Refine 'Endurance' into 'Magic Power']

[Physical strength] is refined into Qi and blood.

[Refine 'Strength' into 'Physique']

[Note: 1 refined attribute value = 1 attribute values ​​before refinement.]

[The "Spirit" refinement grants an exclusive effect: Concentration!]

[The "Mana" refinement grants an exclusive effect: Cycle!]

[The "Qi and Blood" refinement grants an exclusive effect: Powerful!]

[The "Physical Refinement" skill grants an exclusive effect: Suppression!]

[Focus: Increases personal concentration, enhancing spell effects.]

[Cycle: Absorbing the power of heaven and earth to replenish its own depletion.]

[Immense: A life force far exceeding that of others! (You... seem to be a mage?)]

[Suppression: Those whose physical strength is inferior to one's own, regardless of their profession or the nature of their being, will be suppressed.]

To perceive these changes, the system simply expresses the effects in language that Ankai can understand.

The actual effects are far more than these.

The focus that comes from concentration allows Ankai to be at his most energetic at all times!

The effects of cultivation have been greatly enhanced.

This is equivalent to the "sudden enlightenment" in the cultivation novels that An Kai had read in his previous life!

Furthermore, in combat scenarios, [Concentration] allows Ankai to highly focus his mental energy, making it easier to find the opponent's weaknesses or choose the most suitable spell...

There are many other effects that Ankai needs to develop one by one.

The [Cycle] effect is even more terrifying, allowing Ankai to store its own energy at full capacity at all times!

Even the slightest loss will cause [Circulation] to immediately absorb the power of heaven and earth and magical elements to replenish itself!

Keep Ankai in peak combat condition at all times!

Furthermore, the combination of "Magnificent" and "Suppressive" grants Ankai, a mage, a more "magical" physique and "vital energy" than physical warriors and other physical classes, as well as a more agile and robust body!

This fully confirms the concept of "balanced development"!

In addition, refining the four attributes also has a hidden effect.

That is, with the increase in the energy level that Ankai himself possesses, he can easily crush those who are secondary energy professionals with the four attributes of [Intelligence], [Stamina], [Endurance], and [Strength].

Even if the opponent has one, two, or three refined attributes like himself, as long as one of them is a secondary energy attribute, An Kai can gain an absolute advantage in battle!

Of course, if Ankai's attributes are too far behind those of his opponent, these advantages will not exist.

Coincidentally, on this continent...

According to Ankai's understanding, the highest level was achieved by a [Forging God] from the Mage Association who reached the sixth rank at level 89.

According to the six-stage promotion system provided by the system.

He also has an "attribute," which is a secondary energy level and has not been refined.

Once Ankai closes the gap with him, he will be able to easily suppress his opponent!

With all four attributes fully refined, it's as if an "invincible" road to heaven has been paved for An Kai!

Only then did An Kai understand why the sixth rank was a comprehensive enhancement of the body!

An Kai looked at his refined self-status panel.

【Level Lv1: 10/10 'Locked'】

【Spirit: 0.5000】

[Mana: 0.5000]

[Qi and Blood: 0.5000]

Physical Strength: 0.5000

[Talents: Immortality '∞', Mage's Body 'lv5']

[Enchantment: Mage Domain]

[Attribute-Specific: Focuses 'Spirit', Circulates 'Mana', Boosts 'Qi and Blood', and Suppresses 'Physical Strength'.]

[Spell Lv50 'Excellent+' 'Tier 6 of Heaven and Earth' '5000/5000': 'Meditation 'Elements, Starry Sky', 'Beast Taming', Elemental Ice Armor, 'Wind and Fire Blast', 'Fire, Ice, and Wind Armor', 'Thunderbolt', 'Light Pact/Summon', 'Swiftness', 'Flying']

[Skill 'Superior': Forging Lv50 '5000/5000']

[Identity: Lord-level NPC, Spirit Master]

The previously displayed [Intelligence], [Endurance], [Stamina], and [Strength] attributes have disappeared from the panel.

It transforms into a higher-level attribute energy such as [Spirit], [Magic Power], [Qi and Blood], and [Physical Strength].

Of course, improvement still requires the attribute points gained through meditation.

However, in the system panel, one [attribute point] is equal to any one of the four current attributes at [0.0001] points.

At this moment, preparations for advancing to the sixth rank are complete.

Without hesitation, Ankai dismissed the elven maidens and added the 1 attribute point he had previously stored to his Spirit...

This refers to the new attribute energy that comes after the [Intelligence] is increased.

【Spirit +0.0001】

【Spirit: 0.5001】

Click...

With a soft sound, the shackles on Ankai's spell proficiency level were broken.

At this very moment, An Kai... officially stepped into the sixth rank!

Just as he was about to make a grand gesture and pull it all the way up, he was suddenly dumbfounded...

...

The ruins of an unnamed town.

The portal to the [Divine Court Secret Realm] suddenly lit up.

Hanks was standing on the shoulder of a giant that was almost as tall as the sky when suddenly...

"Hahaha! I'm finally out!"

Standing on his shoulders, Hanks burst out laughing…

Then the monster's form suddenly changed.

They vanished from their spot in an instant.

Hanks, who was laughing heartily, suddenly fell into the sea...

Beside him was a large, fluffy, black and white dog that resembled a husky…

The "Husky" has deep-set eyes and a solemn expression.

Looking at Hanks who had suddenly fallen, he went over, scooped him up, and carried him on his back.

"Divine messenger, let's hurry and find 'God'!"

"A change has occurred in the Divine Court; cracks have appeared in the passage. If we don't prepare in time, we risk being devoured by the monsters within!"

"Furthermore, the superior magic stones that suppressed the passage are scattered throughout the Divine Court. If they are not collected in time, they may return to the world."

Hanks, who hadn't expected the big dog, suddenly paused, instinctively asking, "You mean a high-grade magic stone?!"

The large dog, its face deep-set, continued its rapid pace: "Yes, the superior-grade magic stone is indeed the sealing passage..."

Before he could explain, Hanks suddenly shouted:

"Hurry up! God just told me he's very interested in the sealed passage!"
