YM778.TV Chapter 8 - 6: Deep Blue, Level Up!!!
His little tail wobbled a bit.
Kael let out a muffled groan as the gentle power washed over his body, the comfortable sensation making his body tremble uncontrollably.
Unexpectedly, he didn’t dislike this feeling!
Especially when the pure power extracted from the Holy Sanctuary Core finally entered Kael’s body through the tip of his tail, an indescribable sense of happiness spread throughout his entire being.
His body gradually warmed up!
[Skill Judgment Passed, General Experience Points +1000]
[Skill Judgment Passed, General Experience Points +1000]
[Skill Judgment Passed, General Experience Points +1000]
...
As expected of a high-tier experience stone, it didn’t restore energy but directly granted experience points.
This is... fantastic!
Kael’s overflowing general experience points soared on the panel, just as he expected, he didn’t feel like he had ascended.
He stopped the power absorption skill released through his tail and looked at the panel again.
Sure enough, there were now 13,000 general experience points available for him to allocate.
"Perfect!" Kael couldn’t help but whisper with a smile.
Just like in the game, the rare Holy Sanctuary Crystal gave general experience points upon absorption.
Unlike the level experience points used for leveling up through monster slaying and other activities in the player’s panel.
General experience points were harder to obtain and had broader uses, replacing the naturally accrued skill experience points from skill usage, directly enhancing skill levels.
Most importantly, in version 4.0, players discovered its incredibly precious utility...
It allowed them to develop a unique "exclusive skill" similar to enlightenment, dependent on the skills, combat techniques, and ingenious ideas the player had mastered, through artificial intelligence calculations, albeit at the cost of a significant amount of general experience points.
Of course, whether it was reasonable or strong was another matter.
Because of the existence of "exclusive skills," although there were no "hidden professions" among the top-tier players, the combat power boost from effectively utilizing exclusive skills still created a massive gap between ordinary and professional players.
Kael was a beneficiary of exclusive skills in his past life, with his four unique exclusive skills [Magic Silk Thread], [Silk Thread Manipulation], [Void Silk Thread], and [Humanoid Theatre], making him stand out among ordinary players.
Under the control of Magic Silk Thread, his body transformed like a puppet, maneuvering short distances and abruptly casting spells in an elegant, dance-like attack that truly captivated the eye.
One could say that his exclusive skills were the core reason he became a professional player.
He even became a top player, side by side with his guild leader, known as the "Champion Wall," regarded as "worse than pigs and dogs."
But the reason why he was part of the Champion Wall was also clear.
If the guild leader of [Strange Power Chaos God] relied on decent techniques and an extremely high investment to maintain his standing, Kael being the core of the Champion Wall was more genuine—
He was too fragile.
His combat style was meticulous, aesthetically pleasing, and deadly elegant, but if faced with a top player who knew him well and deliberately targeted him, he could be instantly emptied of health.
Who could guarantee no mistakes during combat?
The low tolerance for error made Kael capable of spectacular and elegant kills against low-level players, but against similar-level players, this combat system’s flaws were magnified.
But as the saying goes, strength is temporary, and handsomeness is forever.
Even though he might not compare to the few awareness freaks and skill monsters in the league, Kael’s wire-dancing combat style made players exclaim "Elegant, so elegant" and attracted a massive following...
As well as countless haters!
"I wonder if the system panel still retains the function to develop exclusive skills. If I could reclaim my exclusive skills, then it would be... hmm?"
Kael’s expression momentarily froze. As he had that thought, memories of operating his character and using exclusive skills flashed through his mind.
The precise and elegant combat scenes, like a flood, replayed in his mind. When he came back to his senses, the skill bar on his personal panel had subtly changed.
Skill Bar:
[Sweet Aroma/Power Absorption/Greasy Technique/Water Gun Shock/Freezing Aura] -redundant
[Detected you have significant experience in the fine control of Magic Energy. Consume 10,000 general experience points to unlock exclusive skill-"Magic Silk Thread"]
[Detected you have unique insights in controlling the body with Magic Silk Thread. Consume 15,000 general experience points to unlock exclusive skill-"Silk Thread Manipulation"]
[Detected you have relevant experience in integrating Magic Silk Thread with Space Magic. After mastering basic Space Magic knowledge, you can consume general experience points to unlock exclusive skill-"Void Silk Thread"]
[Detected you have extensive experience in Magic Silk Thread, Silk Thread Manipulation, and Void Silk Thread. After mastering the skill "Void Silk Thread," you can consume general experience points to unlock exclusive skill-"Humanoid Theatre"]
Kael’s body slightly swayed, a look of ecstatic shock spreading across his face.
Players could use their exclusive skills even after coming into the game?
And without huge trial and error costs, just by consuming a large amount of general experience points, they could reclaim their previous exclusive skills?
In an instant, all the unease from traveling to this world, the pressure of the impending upheaval within the Charles family, and the fear of surviving in this war-torn gaming world melted away.
Joking aside, in the gaming world, a professional player’s status was on par with top nobles. Achieving that status purely through skill was incredibly difficult.
But now, he directly possessed the professional skills exclusive to top-tier practitioners.
All that remained was improving his job level, and he would soon carve a niche in this era, avoiding being crushed like an ant beneath others’ feet.
With this thought, he felt his increasingly weak body and smiled slightly.
The remaining Holy Sanctuary Crystal was instantly drained, and he subconsciously touched his abdomen, seeming to feel the remnants of the vast energy merging into his body.
Seeing his panel with a high of 122,000 general experience points, a nearly joyous smile appeared on his face, and he murmured, "System, consume general experience points, add [Magic Silk Thread], [Silk Thread Manipulation]."
The general experience points on the panel instantly dropped to 97,000 points.
In exchange, the two exclusive skills lit up instantly.
"System, consume general experience points, replenish Incubus bloodline awakening consumption!"
"System, consume general experience points, increase job level!"
The general experience points on the panel plummeted instantaneously, leaving only 53,040 points.
In a moment, an overflowing power flooded his body.
His previously pale complexion turned rosy, and the tail behind him wobbled restlessly. As he opened his eyes, the pupils in his eyes had already turned a faint pink.

Looking at the brand-new game panel, Kael took a deep breath. The NPC stats, the Fourth Calamity’s advancement method, and the players’ unique free attribute and skill points.
He felt the surge of power within his body. At the moment of becoming an official Mage, being reborn into this world, he finally felt somewhat secure.
