Chapter 506: Solo Leveling
"We found it in the Orc Dungeon when we defeated the Orc Chieftain, the last floor boss.
It was a rather interesting battle, considering the orc was quite powerful for a Peak Sovereign," Kaizo said, noticing Kent's intrigue with the crystal he gave him.
In contrast to Kent's expression, the crystal in his hand was much more powerful than he let on. The crystal could store spiritual qi and purify it, allowing one to absorb it.
The fact that it purifies the stored energy is enough to show how invaluable it is. Then there's the part where he can absorb the stored energy.
The capacity is enough to make it valuable even when he becomes immortal.
Naturally, Gaia has already started sniffing it, knowing she could upgrade it. But even without upgrades, it's incredibly valuable.
The energy in the Tower is very pure; however, even with Kent's robust cultivation technique and cultivation speed, he still wouldn't be able to absorb the spirit qi in the air as fast as he could from the crystal.
This means the crystal is perfect for someone looking to level up faster. Kent needed one, considering his strength was still at the 8th level of the Root Great Sage stage.
Though his current form after breaking his first limitation has moved past the sovereign stage, he still needs to raise his cultivation base.
This means the Qu'lan crystal came at the right time.
"How powerful was this Orc Chieftain?" Kent asked. He didn't really understand these things about dungeons, especially since he hadn't even bound them to the tower after receiving the eight prompts.
He had been too busy to get into that. But now, he seemed to have found a fascination for it, considering such a powerful treasure was found in one.
It wasn't just about knowing more about the orc; it was more about learning the nature of the dungeon, starting with the Orc Chieftain.
"That bastard was a seriously powerful master. He wielded a Great Axe, and while I could beat my chest and say I could solo him even if I were sitting at the peak of the Ascension stage, that would be a lie.
Even Zareth had to go all out just so he and Veydris could take him down. In fact, all eight last-floor bosses we faced weren't easy." Kaizo smiles, looking at Kent's expression.
"And yes, the Orc wasn't the strongest of the eight we've faced. Makes me wonder what's waiting for us in the remaining four."
Kent raised his brow, and from the expression on Zareth's face, he could tell Kaizo was exaggerating.
Zareth is one incredibly powerful undead, so for someone like him to need Veydris's help and still have to go all out to face one person, he could on wonder what this Orc was made of.
"Even Zareth had to go all out. Then I'd better bind the dungeons and summon the last floor bosses. Who knows what will become of my legion once they join?"
"You should do that, Master. We need the dungeons for training. Though we are awesome, we aren't that strong, if you ask me." Kaizo shot straight, making his master aware that they needed training spaces.
"I will do that," Kent said with a sigh. "Now, take these branding tools. Brand any of the names on the list whenever you kill them."
Kent handed a branding tool to his undead.
"Veydris, your mission is to keep this ugly bastard in sight for the next two days. Feel free to sever at least a hand if he does anything stupid, and you can go ahead and carve on his face."
After everything was done, the team left. They each had their own way of traveling, so going to the four kingdoms wasn't a headache.
However, the moment they left, Kent appeared inside the Soul Tower and sat down on the soul stone, taking out the crystal.
"Time to level up." A smile appeared on his face as he activated his cultivation technique. Though he had so far relied on his ladies to level up, that didn't mean he couldn't cultivate on his own.
His cultivation technique was rather robust. So while he enjoyed having sex with his women to level up, he could indeed cultivate on his own.
The technique was activated, and the spiritual qi in the Qi'lan crystal started entering his body. Kent sat quietly, his eyes closed, as the energy flowed into him.
Just six minutes into cultivation, a message appeared in his view showing he had leveled up.
⟪You've Leveled Up: Level 9 Root Great Sage⟫
Kent didn't stop there. Instead, he continued, and before long, a new message appeared.
⟪You've Leveled Up: Level 1 Root Transcendent⟫
Kent felt a powerful energy enter his body, showing he was no longer a Root Great Sage but had moved to a different stage, several times stronger than the previous.
This meant his strength had already reached levels he couldn't measure yet. But that wasn't enough, so Kent continued cultivating the stored spiritual energy in the Qi'lan Crystal.
⟪You've Leveled Up: Level 1 Root Transcendent⟫
⟪You've Leveled Up: Level 2 Root Transcendent⟫
⟪You've Leveled Up: Level 3 Root Transcendent⟫
⟪You've Leveled Up: Level 4 Root Transcendent⟫
...
...

⟪You've Leveled Up: Level 9 Root Transcendent⟫
Five hours later, he had progressed to the peak of the Transcendent stage, making him grin from ear to ear.
He knew he wasn't in danger, considering his physique, cultivation technique, and the tower were all working to keep him in shape.
But even if those weren't enough to stabilize and strengthen his foundation, his body cultivation was there.
As a body cultivator, the chances of rapid leveling affecting him were slim. And since he was absorbing the purest form of spiritual qi, his foundation was as firm as possible.
He is also a dragon with a Celestial Grade Spirit Root. These factors alone make him the perfect person to use the Qu'lan Crystal. And he wasn't being polite about that.
Thus, Kent didn't stop and continued to absorb until the message he had been waiting for appeared.
⟪You've Leveled Up: Level 1 Root Ascension⟫
"It's almost drained." Kent scanned the crystal and knew it was nearing depletion, so he drained it completely. Since he broke a limit, the spiritual Qi needed to level up was also on a new level.
⟪You've Leveled Up: Level 1 Root Ascension⟫
⟪You've Leveled Up: Level 2 Root Ascension⟫
⟪You've Leveled Up: Level 3 Root Ascension⟫
Thankfully, that brought him to the third level, enough to tell him he had become a monster from this rapid level-up.
"It's time to complete these missions. I wouldn't want them running with their tails between their legs." Kent stood up, leaving the crystal on the ground.
For his next breakthrough, he needed to absorb more spiritual qi, and since the tower had a much denser spiritual qi, he left it there.
"Then again, hiding won't save them—not when I have the strongest tracking system in the universe inside my soul." An evil smile appeared on his face as his clothing transformed, taking on a new look.
He was clad in black from head to toe.
"May the stars have mercy on their souls." Saying that, he vanished from the Tower and appeared somewhere in Vastport City.
