Awakened Talent: 10,000 Exp Converter!

"Are you going to enter the tower now, or do you want to rest first?" Valyn asked.

"I'm still at my peak condition thanks to you. I want to try it now," Vincent answered, shaking his head.

It was a fact. During the entire journey, Vincent did not do anything. The primals they encountered were either eliminated by Fenro or Valyn.

He hadn't lifted a finger the entire time; hence, he was still in his best condition.

Before entering the Tower of Illusion, he asked Mochi telepathically, "Would you go with me or stay with Big Sis Valyn?"

Mochi responded without hesitation, "Hmph! I don't wanna go with you. You always forget to feed me!"

She was still upset because he had left her in Marina's care the previous night and forgotten to feed her. Explore hidden tales at empire

He could only offer an apologetic smile before turning to Valyn.

"Big Sis, can I leave Mochi to you while I'm in the tower?"

Valyn's eyes brightened upon hearing him.

"Hehe, gladly! Come here, little fella; this sister still has a lot of delicious food."

The moment Mochi heard her words, she didn't even look at Vincent and quickly pounced into Valyn's arms.

Valyn hugged and caressed Mochi against her cheeks, muttering, "So soft…"

Vincent simply ignored the fat rabbit's behavior. He was already used to it.

Without further ado, he queued at the tower's entrance.

After a process similar to the Tower of Combat, Vincent finally entered the tower after a few moments.

He soon found himself floating in an endless white space. Aside from that, he also realized his body had turned illusory and transparent.

A second later, a cold feminine but monotonous voice rang out from somewhere and yet everywhere.

[Welcome to the Tower of Illusions, Dear Challenger Magnus!]

[As per the Tower's rule, your Origin Energy will not be sealed, but you won't be able to use your Force and Speed Attributes and Abilities in your current form.]

Vincent was not surprised. It wouldn't be a challenge for his Mental Attribute if this tower focused on other attributes.

[In this tower, you will fight against primals starting from Tier 1. The difficulty will increase as you win the challenges. Each victory has a corresponding reward of Tower Points. Tower Points can be exchanged for items in the Tower's Exchange. As you currently have no Tower Points, you are unable to access the Tower's Exchange.]

Vincent felt a little disappointed. He had accumulated a lot of Tower Points from the Tower of Combat; if he could bring them, it would've been incredible.

Unfortunately, it seemed the Towers of Fundamentals had their own unique currency.

Nevertheless, he looked forward to seeing if his talent could also affect the Tower of Illusions' points system.

[After each battle, you will be granted 10 minutes of rest time. If you lose or admit defeat, you won't be able to challenge the Tower of Illusions again for two weeks.]

[Do you want to begin your challenge?]

With a nod, he responded immediately, "Yes!"

As soon as he agreed, his vision blacked out for a moment. When he regained it, he was already standing in a flat wilderness area.

His figure was still illusory, similar to the creature in front of him, which he immediately sensed and recognized.

The appearance of the primal in front of him had a single description: a goblin. A goblin he hadn't encountered yet in the wild, making him wonder if such a creature truly existed.

"So they actually exist…" he murmured.

Compared to his illusory white form, the goblin had an emerald hue. It stood at approximately 160 centimeters tall, a long green robe draped over its shoulders.

In its empty hand, a green illusory orb appeared and slowly transformed into a wooden staff.

[Goblin Mage — Tier 1 (1★)]

Although it was merely a Tier 1 goblin, Vincent did not immediately act. He observed how it moved since they could only use mental energy to fight.

Soon, the Goblin Mage began to growl at him, as though asserting dominance. It followed with a strange incantation, forming a jade illusory fiery orb on its staff.

Graaa!

It exclaimed as it hurled its staff forward.

The illusory fireball launched at him at a speed of 25 mph.

To Vincent, it was rather slow. Although his speed attribute was locked, his mental attribute was significantly higher than the Goblin Mage's, enhancing his mental perception.

Instead of dodging, he simply flicked away the incoming fireball, which exploded far to his right.

This casual act shocked the Goblin Mage. It growled, narrowed its eyes, and bared its sharp teeth before summoning more illusory fireballs!

This time, Vincent sensed it more clearly.

The Goblin Mage was channeling its mental energy into its illusory staff, speeding up the process of forming fireballs.

He wondered how it was possible. The illusory staff was also made of mental energy—how could it function like a physical staff?

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The illusory fireballs hurled at him again, but he swatted them away with his left hand. Meanwhile, his other hand controlled his mental energy, attempting to mimic the Goblin Mage's actions.

Soon, an illusory white orb began to form in his right hand. However, a sting in his brain interrupted him.

"Argh!"

What was that?

He tried again but felt the same pain. Changing his approach, he instead thought of creating a plain sword, like the one he had used in the Tower of Combat.

Surprisingly, this went smoothly. It had the same weight, width, and length as the original—practically a "mental-copy" of the real weapon.

Without hesitation, he slashed at another fireball hurling toward him. His sword smoothly cut it in half, causing two weak explosions upon hitting the ground.

At this moment, Vincent realized the Goblin Mage's illusory form had become more transparent. It hadn't appeared exhausted, but it had clearly spent most of its mental energy.

Realizing this, Vincent knew the Goblin Mage was no longer suitable for practice. With a single step, he crossed the 20-meter distance and slashed the goblin's neck.

Although he wasn't as fast with his speed attribute sealed, his higher mental energy made his illusory figure stronger and quicker.

In the end, it was all about Mental Attribute Points.

[You have successfully completed your first challenge!]

[You have gained 1 Tower Point!]

Only one?

Well, it made sense since it was just a Tier 1 (1★) primal.

However, the magic words he'd hoped for soon came.

Talent Activated!

+10,000 Tower Points!

"Haha, great!"

It is actually effective here as well!
