Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer
Chapter 111 Growth

"A problem in Mana Cultivation? Isn't this bad?" General Yves asked worriedly. He knows that this is not easy to resolve a problem in cultivation.

There are many people who were able to sense the presence of mana and influence the mana to a certain extent.

However, being able to sense the mana doesn't mean that you can already cultivate it. You either needed a suitable cultivation method or a certain talent.

Of course, even after replaceing dozens or hundreds of Mana Cultivation Methods around the world, none of these methods can guarantee that it is completely safe and without any risks.

There were times when allowing the Mana to flow in your veins and organs can cause harm if not properly done. The stronger you get the higher the risk you have when you cultivate the mana.

Although there were few instances, there were also practitioners who uses a Cultivation Method that could forcefully increase your level… General Yves could guess that Vincent had actually used this kind of method considering the violent mana surrounding their castle.

"There's nothing we can do… If we stopped this, Vincent would certainly die at this rate. However, if he at least managed to stay alive after this incident, we can still try to heal him. In any case, even if he got crippled, he's still a Potion Master." Divine Doctor Ji finally spoke after analyzing the situation.

He knows that Vincent is an Aura Knight after seeing him in battle so he shouldn't be quite strong physically.

Aside from that, he recalls that he was incapable of converting mana into any type of element at all, which means that he probably has an average talent or maybe poor talent in practicing mana.

So he's still a journeyman or at the level of an apprentice Mana Practitioner.

"That's true… Let's just hope that he can still get out of this critical situation. He must've done plenty of preparations for this situation. Don't forget that he's still one of the best Potion Master around."

Severin said as he tried to bring hope to everyone's heart. Even if Vincent gets crippled, he can still certainly work as a Potion Master. Though Vincent may stop dreaming of becoming a Master Magician, he can still be proud as a Potion Master.

"Tsk… He should've at least informed us if he plans to make this kind of advancement."

Vincent has alchemical skills that they can't compare to and he's really important during this Barbarian Invasion, his death will certainly affect them."

"Haa~ That's true… I just hope that he won't die as none of us is aware of his method to modify the potions." General Yves replied.

Well, they previously tried to buy the modification method or recipe that Vincent has been using but obviously, Vincent has nothing like that since he uses his Item Enhancement Skill.

Luckily, they didn't delve too much after he decided to refuse their offer telling them that it would reveal the secrets of his family.

Instead, they could only offer Vincent plenty of resources for his growth in exchange for the potions that he made. Of course, the latter refused to get paid by money since he already has several chests filled with Mana Crystals. It can be used for his cultivation or even as a form of money if he wanted to.

Furthermore, aside from a Skill Book, Raymond had already given him plenty of gold coins for completing the escort mission…

"Aaahhh!"

Vincent's cry was heard even outside his room.

It was followed by strong mana fluctuations within the now silent courtyard. It lasted for almost ten more minutes before the violent fluctuations of mana finally dissipated.

At this point, everyone quickly entered Vincent's room and found him in his courtyard kneeling on the ground.

He seems to be breathing heavily so everyone sighed in relief. Whether he succeeded in his advancement or not, as long as he's alive, the Divine Doctor can certainly help him in his current condition.

"Young man… Are you still alive?" Doctor Ji asked after seeing Vincent.

"Keke… I almost died. I need to take a rest. Don't worry about me." Vincent weakly said as he felt really exhausted. Although he's brimming with mana right now, he spent almost every bit of his accumulated Aura just to suppress that his Mana Core wasn't destroyed by the abrupt increase of his Mana Capacity.

After making sure that he was not dying yet, everyone left his room with a sigh of relief.

As soon as they left, Vincent can finally check his current condition. He felt something very unusual within his body after he used his aura to repair his Mana Core… He can't exactly tell what are the changes so he needed to check his personal status.

Before that, he opened all the notifications he received after successfully consuming the Mana Upheaval Potion.

[ Congratulations! You have exceeded 1000 Units of Mana! ]

[ You have obtained 4 Ascension Cards as a reward. ]

[ Your Inventory has expanded as a reward. ]

Ding!

[ Your Mana Source is changing… ]

[ Changes Completed ]

[ Congratulations! Your Mana Source has mutated after combining it with your Soul Force to repair your body. ]

[ You have created a Synthetic Celestial Core ]

[ You have unlocked Item Sense Ability. ]

[ Item Sense Ability: Without spending any units of Pseudo Celestial Energy, you can sense the presence of any item within a certain radius. ]

"W-what?"

Vincent was speechless after reading all the notifications he just had. He thought that after consuming the Mana Upheaval Potion, his mana capacity will just simply increase and if he's lucky, he will get a reward for getting an achievement for the first time.

However, the effect that he just had was too much?!

"A fusion with my Mana Core and my Soul Aura? Then it became a synthetic celestial power?" Vincent's hand visibly trembled as he unconsciously touched his chest as if wanted to feel the changes that has occurred within his body.

Of course, he is happy about the inventory expansion and the 4 new Ascension Card that he just received. However, he couldn't comprehend the sudden existence of Celestial Power inside his body!

Although it says that it's synthetic or some kind of fake celestial power, it is still energy completely different from Aura Knights and Mana Practitioners!

With that in mind, he swiftly checked his status window.

[ Name: Vincent Kayser ]

[ Age: 15 years old ]

[ Pseudo Celestial Energy: 1090/1090 ]

[ System Skill: Item Enhancement Lv9, Item Ascension Lv1, Advanced Item Appraisal ]

[ System Feature: 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 ( 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 ]

Vincent confirmed that aside from becoming a genuine 3-Star Aura Knight, he learned that the Pseudo Celestial Energy that came from his Synthetic Celestial Core, is several times stronger than his mana.

For example, the Surging Palm Strike that previously requires 15 to 25 units of mana now only needed 3 to 5 units of the Pseudo Celestial Energy.

It was such an incredible change!

In addition, it is the same for the skills he obtained from his system! Right now, his Enhancement and Ascension skills require a very small amount of Pseudo Celestial Energy!

"Incredible! This system is really too good!"

Vincent couldn't help but smile as he clenched his fist tightly.

At first, when he received the Item Awakening System, he thought that his limit was just to create stronger and better weapons. At most, he can probably become strong by wielding incredible weapons or perhaps became a rich person after selling his enhanced or ascended items.

This is because he already felt that Tier 1 Mana Arts was truly his limit in this world.

However, now that his Mana Core has mutated into a Synthetic Celestial Core, his future path had certainly improved because of it!

After taking a few hours of rest, Vincent woke up filled with energy as he started to enhance or even ascend his items.

Today, he wanted to try and ascend one of his items into a Legendary Item!

He spent another hour in his room and if someone is listening outside, they could hear Vincent's joyful exclamation and sometimes a sorrowful cry…

Nevertheless, this quickly ended after another half an hour as Knight Claude interrupted him.

"Sir Vincent! Are you there?" He shouted after a knock.

"Yes? Is there any problem?" Vincent replied as he put down the Tome of Skills in his hand.

"No, Sir Vincent. However, you mentioned that we should call you if we will be going to the frontlines. General Yves and the others were planning to check the situation at the fourth camp, would you like to join us?"

As soon as Vincent heard this, he immediately stood up. Finally! It's time for him to meet the Zemin Clan's young miss!
