46 - Rewards and new training method
🕑 Added 2024-04-11 14:38:50 +0000 UTCSitting in a meditative position inside of the cave Levi had his hand on Acnologia’s faceless head as he closed his eyes in concentration, before long light started shining on Acnologia's face and when it receded his face was back to normal as if it was never taken in the first place.
Acnologia touched his face with his hands repeatedly as if in disbelief before jumping at Levi tackling him to the ground and even licking his face with the latter laughing.
“Haha alright alright, I know you're excited but this experience should teach you to be more careful from now on.” said Levi in a fake stern voice trying to appear angry with Acnologia but of course it didn't work as the dragon saw right through him.
“Why don't you go play around for a bit? I have some things I need to do.” said Levi after he was done petting Acnologia to which the latter didn't even complain about, he knew that whenever Levi sat to do something it would be so boring that it would almost suffocate him and so he hurried out of the underground chamber.
Seeing Acnologia walking away Levi couldn't help but think that he had gotten bigger, ‘Or is it just my imagination?’ he wondered, ‘With the way he's eating I am surprised he isn't even bigger hehe.’ thought Levi, cracking a joke in his head.
After Acnologia ran outside Levi pulled up his notifications with a smile on his face, as for Acnologia, as long as there wasn't anyone who could instantly incapacitate him like Koh did, they'll have a really hard time defeating him and Levi could reach him in no time.

[Ethereal force leveled up +1]
[Dodge leveled up +1]
[Limit breaker leveled up +2]
[Divine armament Leveled up +1]
[Divine armament maximum Level, level 10 reached]
[Plus one stat point to all stats]
Looking at his gains Levi was ecstatic, this was the most he had ever received from a single fight as far as he could remember, it also reminded him again that combat was the fastest way to get stronger.
One peculiar thing that caught his attention was that his night vision ability and Divine armament had reached max level at level ten, and it apparently couldn't level up anymore.
[Night vision (passive) - Level MAX: Allows the user to see in the dark as if it were daylight, it can allow the user to navigate better in dark areas and not lose his way, the higher the level the clearer the user's vision will be, The user can now see in complete darkness.]
[Divine armament (Active) - Level MAX: A Divine armament containing all tools of war the user can conceive, the higher the level the more weapons and armor the user has access to.]
‘I guess it makes sense, there is no further room for improvement when it comes to night vision’ he thought, his vision was already perfect even in complete darkness so it made sense that it stopped leveling up.
But when it came to his Divine armament Levi felt that even though it had reached level ten it would still get stronger the stronger he was, the only thing the level represented was that he now had access to a lot of weapons and armor, even he didn't know how much.
But although a lot of skills leveled up and he gained a lot of stat points, nothing put a smile on Levi’s face more than spirit body and Limit breaker leveling up, right now those were the aces up his sleeve, and the higher their level the stronger he was and the more hope he had of getting back home.
‘Especially Spirit body, every ten levels it gave me a miraculous ability, and this time it gave me Ethereal essence which is just as broken as the previous ones.’ thought Levi, he couldn't help but marvel at how broken spirit body three sub-abilities were.
As for ethereal essence, he couldn't help but have a helpless smile on his face as he thought about it, ‘It's basically just haki’ he thought, and he was right.
Each aspect of Ethereal essence was almost identical to Haki that Levi couldn't help but think if the system was messing with him, but one thing that Levi knew was different was that he had a feeling that Ethereal essence has way more potential.
Shifting his attention to the extra presence inside of him, aside from the eagle, Levi couldn't help but think about the future. By killing Koh he had completely altered the timeline, who would Aang will meet when he visits the spirit realm in the future? Without Koh, Aang might never get to know who the moon and fish spirits are.
He can maybe control Koh to act like he did in the show, to make sure that the future events remain the same and his knowledge is unchanged, or he can maybe tell Aang directly who the ocean and moon spirits are.
‘I'll just leave this problem to my future self to deal with.’, thought Levi, throwing it to the back of his head, he didn't even know how to get out of the spirit world and he was thinking of ways to make sure the timeline remained the same.
Just as Levi was about to put away his notifications and test a new idea he had for practicing blood bending, -as it had already been a month since the last time- a new notification suddenly popped up in front of him at the bottom of the notifications list, it seemed that he was too busy before to notice it.
[Hidden quest completed: Defeat an ancient spirit from the spirit world.
The spirit world is filled with ancient and old spirits, some are kind, and some are malevolent, kill one of them to complete the hidden quest.
Rewards: Shop Function, +3 Level ups, 2000 system points, 10 stat points]
Upon seeing the quest Levi Immediately claimed his rewards and leveled up three times, instantly feeling all of his fatigue and injuries disappear, his Chi was even replenished back to full.
After savoring the effects of leveling up Levi immediately perked up, he had finally unlocked a new system function and it was the shop of all things!!
Levi went straight into the shop function and what greeted him was category after category of everything he could think of from weapons, armor, technique, bloodlines, knowledge, and much more, he couldn't see the end of it, thankfully though he saw a search function at the top right corner.
‘Thank god.’ thought Levi, he really didn't have it in him to go through every category one by one.
‘I wonder how this works though, is it advanced enough that I don't have to type the specific item I want but just what I want to achieve?.’ thought Levi before deciding to try it out.
Looking at the search function he thought of what he wanted to search…
{Ways to get back into the physical world}
Immediately a list of items appeared in front of him one on top of the other.
[Multidimensional Portable Gate: A gate that can be deployed at any location of the user's choosing, can be used to travel anywhere the user desires
Cost: 150 Million system points]
[Multidimensional stationary gate: A gate that can be used to travel anywhere the user desires, can't be moved after it's deployed

[Cosmic traveler (Active) Level 1 to MAX: Relying on this ability the user can traverse between stars and dimensions at will. The starting level of this ability depends on the system points the user spends on it.

[One-time use teleportation jade: Used to immediately teleport the any destination the user may desire

[Dimensional Weaver bloodline: Dimensional Weavers wield the power to knit and unravel dimensions at will, opening portals through time and space. Born from reality's fabric, they are the unseen architects of existence, shaping the multiverse with whispers of reality's threads. Their presence distorts the air, hinting at their mastery over the cosmic tapestry.
Cost: 3 billion system points.]
[Quantum voyager bloodline: Quantum Voyagers navigate the quantum flux, mastering the myriad possibilities of existence. They stride through alternate realities with ease, manipulating space-time to explore and influence the multiverse's countless layers...
Cost: 3 billion system points.]
Looking at the description of the items Levi couldn't help but get excited but every time he looked at the prices all his hopes were dashed, he kept thinking that he might find some ability or item that was only worth 12k system points which was what he currently had but reality proved to be really cruel.
He especially wanted to get the dimensional weaver and Quantum voyager bloodlines, just from the descriptions alone he knew that they would not only help him get out of the spirit realm but they will make sure that his future would be smooth sailing, sadly they were one of the most expensive items on the list.
Still there were some things in there that he could buy, like normal weapons and armor but what use were they? He doubted any weapon or armor he could buy now would come even close to his Divine armament so Levi just put it to the back of his head and moved on.
For now he had something he wanted to try for a while but he had to delay it until he was done with his encounter with Koh, now that he was done with the centipede he finally had some free time.
His idea was to use Limit breaker at the same time that he's training his blood bending, if his theory was right Limit breaker should give him the push he needs to finally gain control of his own blood and start practicing even with the suppression of the spirit world.
And now with Limit breaker leveling up two more times it was even better, he could go on for longer and suffer fewer side effects afterwards.
Taking a deep breath in, Levi considered sending a message to recall Acnologia in case something went wrong and he needed protection but in the end he decided against it and just released the blue eagle and Koh to guard his body.
Fully activating Limit breaker, unlike before when he would tap into it for only an instant, Levi felt that outworldly sensation again.
He saw the world slow down almost to a standstill in front of him as all his senses were heightened, he could see dust particles flying in front of him and even further away, he could hear Acnologia playing and chasing spirit animals outside, and best of all he was processing all of that information with no problem at all.
Quickly shaking himself off to not get lost in this sensation Levi activated his blood bending, and immediately he noticed the difference from before, he not only could feel his own blood way more clearer he could also feel the blood of Acnologia who was playing outside and the blood of most spirit animals outside too, those that weren't completely transparent and had no blood at least.
‘It's so much more intense than before.’ thought Levi before he immediately snapped back to his senses and started trying to control his own blood, he didn't have much time in this state, blood bending may last a full hour but he didn't know how long will limit breaker would last, but he knew he didn't have long.
Levi had expected that it might not work and that he might have to try again next month and the month after it for it to succeed and so he was prepared for failure, but what happened next was completely out of his expectations as he immediately felt the blood in his body speed up a little bit under his control.
“Holy shit it worked!.” Levi couldn't help but exclaim, even cursing out loud, thankfully Acnologia wasn't close by or else he might have picked up that word, he had hopes that it might work but he didn't expect to succeed on his first try.
Immediately getting back to it after getting over his shock and ignoring all outside distractions Levi carefully controlled his blood to speed up and slow down repeatedly getting better at it every second, until he felt that he couldn't bear the burden of Limit breaker anymore.
Deactivating limit breaker Levi felt as if every muscle in his body was torn and that every bone was broken, he could hardly even stand up, quickly recalling Koh and the blue eagle into his body Levi immediately felt himself rejuvenated, mostly thanks to Koh’s insane vitality and Stamina, this was also another trick he thought of to pay pass limit breaker after effects.
Looking at his notifications to see if he had missed anything Levi almost jumped out of his skin in happiness as he saw the notification that was in front of him.
[Ding]
[Water bending and all its sub-abilities leveled up +1]
“It worked, it actually worked.” exclaimed Levi out loud in disbelief before he started laughing hysterically
“HAHAHAHAHA”
Acnologia, who had just returned to the underground chamber and saw this scene of Levi laughing like a madman for no reason immediately turned around and went outside, whatever was happening there he didn't want to take any part in it.
Levi was so excited that he didn't even notice Acnologia who just left, even though he didn't notice any difference with that water bending level up he was sure that as long as he leveled up enough he would be able to break the spirit world’s suppression on him, it was only a matter of time now.
And the better thing is, he didn't have to wait another month to use blood bending again, whether it was due to the extra level, him controlling his own blood, or whatever reason it was, the time for blood bending recharge had reduced from one month to 25 days.
[Incomplete Blood bending (Active) - Level 16: The ability to freely manipulate living beings blood like its water, takes 25 days to fully charge, can be used for 1 hour straight after activating it, the higher the level the stronger the ability and the less time it needs to recharge.] (add one level)
Testing his blood bending again because the time period it was active wasn't over yet Levi couldn't even budge his blood, he could feel it but he couldn't control it, he wasn't disappointed though, he did it once and he will do it again, and the time for the recharge will decrease with every level up, it was only a matter of time now.
