Awakened Talent: 10,000 Exp Converter!

Vincent smoothly cleared all the Tier 1 trials.

Most of the trials were about speed fundamentally and no direct battle against other challengers, except for the last trial where he had to play tag with the remaining 10 Tier 1 challengers.

It was a no-brainer that it had no challenge for him. With his current attribute points and his strength fully unsealed at the Tier 1 last trial, it was child's play for him.

And regarding Moutaur, the slave agisaur had naturally lost against Vincent in the last trial.

After all of that, it was needless to say that he had millions of tower points.

So, did he empty the remaining items on Tower's Exchange?

Naturally.

Initially, he was hesitant because he was accompanying Valyn, and he had told her that he had no connection with the disappearance of the tower's items.

However, once or twice might be possible for him to dismiss the accusations, but the third time?

Only a fool would believe that he was not connected with the tower's issue.

Since whenever he was challenging a tower, the Tower's Exchange was always being emptied, and Valyn was with him all that time.

That's why he was hesitant.

Well, it was only for a very short moment.

As long as no one saw him and had solid proof that he was the culprit, he would deny it all the time.

Therefore, with a huge grin on his face, he emptied the remaining items, filling his storage ring again. After all of his hoarding, his storage ring still had a lot of remaining space.

And it was important to note that he still had more storage rings with the same size as his epic-grade storage ring.

Soon, the tower's voice echoed.

[You have completed the Tier 1 Trials, you have now qualified to challenge the Tier 2 Trials. Would you like to proceed?]

Vincent curtly agreed with a nod. "Yes."

In the next second, his vision blurred as he disappeared from a flat arena.

At the same time, outside of the Tower of Speed.

Valyn, along with Ellie and Axl Swift, were gathered in a gazebo that was not there in the first place.

Axl Swift had ordered one of the city's guards who had a talent for building structures to build one for him and his guests while they talked and observed the Ranking Leaderboard.

The moment Vincent cleared the last trial of Tier 1, his name naturally appeared at the 100th place. It was for a reason that Vincent simply chose not to enter the top rank as it did not matter to him.

Needless to say, with Valyn and the others' perceptions, they immediately noticed when Vincent's name appeared.

"Your younger brother seems to have managed to clear the Tier 1 trials and enter the leaderboard. Will he come out now?" asked Ellie, who was quite surprised.

She had no idea what was the real relationship between Valyn and Vincent, thus she was quite curious how Vincent would perform.

And so, she was a little surprised that Vincent managed to clear the Tier 1 trials quickly.

And opposite of Ellie, Valyn had not much reaction. She was already expecting it.

As much as it sounds unbelievable, she was already assuming that Vincent would be able to conquer the Tower of Speed if not highly possible to enter the Tier 2 Ranking Leaderboard.

Aside from that, her thoughts lingered about the commotion revealed by the Tier 1 challengers.

The Tower's Exchange was once again emptied.

She was not a fool. She knew Vincent must be connected with this issue in some way or another. Well, despite that, she could only smile wryly in her mind.

'He dared to lie to my face… I would make him pay, this big sister when he comes out…' she thought before grinning at her best friend.

"Don't be surprised yet. He wasn't done yet," she replied, which was naturally heard by Axl Swift as well.

Raising his lizard-skin-like eyebrows, Axl questioned Valyn.

"Is the Witch Fox saying he'll be able to enter the Tier 2 Leaderboard?"

He sounded quite skeptical because, as far as he knew and observed, Vincent was a mere Peak Tier 1 Origin Warrior.

It was already a miracle that a human like Vincent had managed to appear on the leaderboard.

But clearing Tier 2 and appearing on the leaderboard? That's quite impossible, as the leaderboard was dominated mostly by his race and other races known for their speed techniques.

"I'm not trying to be rude, but I can't seem to see your brother appearing on the leaderboard…"

Valyn's eyebrows rose as she looked at Axl with a questioning look.

"Are you doubting my younger brother's capability?" Her voice rose a little higher than usual.

"Well… I'm just saying your brother's strength is limited. He will be competing against Tier 2 Origin Warriors."

Without saying it specifically, Valyn knew that Axl was doubting Vincent's strength.

It was a natural reaction. If she did not know about Vincent, she would also think that Axl's words were true.

Unfortunately, Vincent was not your average Joe, he defied common sense.

She believed that Vincent had the strength to clear the Tier 2 Trials. Therefore, her eyes glinted as she thought of something exciting, which didn't escape Ellie's sight.

'Oh no, she's up to something…' Ellie thought.

They had been friends for several years already, so she understood Valyn's seemingly unnoticeable expression.

Valyn narrowed her eyes and said, "Do you wanna make a bet then?"

Axl furrowed his brows for a second before easing it back. He was quite skeptical about where the Witch Fox was getting her confidence.

Nevertheless, his interest was piqued.

"Hooh, a bet with the Witch Fox? What are we betting on?" replied Axl, amused.

"I'll say, my younger brother will be able to enter the Tier 2 leaderboard. If I got it wrong, you can have this."

After saying it, Valyn flicked her hand, and a deep purple scroll appeared in her hand.

"I'm certain you are familiar with this, right?"

Ellie and Axl furrowed their eyebrows when they noticed the scroll in Valyn's hand.

"You're taking out that scroll for a bet?!" Ellie exclaimed.

Ellie naturally recognized the scroll. It was an Upgrade Scroll—an epic-grade one.

Meaning, a scroll that could upgrade any kind of items or skills from rare to epic grade.

As far as Ellie could remember, Valyn had fought so hard just to get this scroll. She even had to recuperate for a few months because of her injuries.

She thought Valyn had already used it, but it wasn't the case, and she wanted to use it as a bet?! Just what kind of trust does she have for Vincent?!

When Axl Swift noticed the purple scroll, his eyes immediately brightened with excitement before he composed himself.

'An Upgrade Scroll? Is she crazy?' he thought as he laughed in his mind.

'I don't know the source of her confidence, but she would never believe that it will be her younger brother's…' Axl's thought trailed off before he hid his excitement.

"Are you sure you wanna bet that?" he asked in a casual but serious voice. He acted as though he was concerned.

"Why? Is our slippery lizard afraid to lose on a bet?" Valyn teased.

Axl wasn't affected by Valyn's words. With a polite smile, he asked, "Well, it's not every day someone gets the chance to wager with the Witch Fox herself."

"And I'm not the type who likes to take advantage of others…" Axl paused and waved his hand. "If I lose, you can have this…"

Two items appeared in front of Axl, a blue crystal gem and a slightly old, rusty necklace emitting a pale purple light.

The moment the blue crystal gem appeared, Mochi, who was dozing off in Valyn's arms, suddenly perched, her cute rabbit nose twitching.

"Food!" Mochi exclaimed in her mind, drooling.

She tried to reach it with her short plump arm but was unable to even touch it.

"This gem is a Tier 3 Rare-grade Primal Boss Core, and this necklace is an epic-grade item. I've used it twice, but it still has one more chance to use."

"What is that?" Valyn asked, curious.

"This item is called the Temporal Runic Necklace, and it has an ability effect called 'Portal Displacement' allowing one to instantly travel from anywhere within the Novice Continent, bypassing any restrictions."

Upon hearing his explanation, Valyn's eyes shone.

Although it still only had one more chance to use, she knew its importance. It was a life-saving item.

Although there were items like escape scrolls, there were special places in the Origin World that hindered the effect of escape scrolls.

It meant, with the Temporal Runic Necklace and its ability, she could attempt to visit those places with a free mind.

Similarly, Valyn didn't show her true thoughts and agreed after acting as though she had a thoughtful consideration.

"Alright. We have a bet."

"Great."

Both parties nodded casually, but both of them were grinning in their minds.

Back in the Tower of Speed...

[The final stage of Tier 2 Trials will start in 5 minutes.]

Vincent smoothly passed the 9 trials without an effort.
