Awakened Talent: 10,000 Exp Converter!

After defeating another batch of Peak Tier 1 primals, Vincent had finally accumulated 1,500,000 Tower Points!

He couldn't help but exclaim, "Sweet!"

With this amount of Tower Points, he could clear an entire section of the Tower's Exchange, but he held that thought as the Tower's voice echoed again. Discover exclusive tales on empire

[You have met the condition to challenge Tier 2. Would you like to proceed?]

Brows furrowing slightly, Vincent muttered thoughtfully to himself, "Tier 2… hmm, I wonder if I'll be able to use the points I earned in the Tier 1 challenge to exchange for Tier 2 items?"

His question lingered for only a moment before the cold, mechanical voice of the Tower promptly responded.

[You are only allowed to exchange them for Tier 1 items.]

Although it sounded disappointing, Vincent thought it made sense. If Tier 1 Origin Warriors could use their Tower Points to acquire Tier 2 items, there would be an abundance of Tier 1 Origin Warriors equipped with Tier 2 gear.

He asked another question.

"Can I continue challenging Tier 1 and accumulate more Tower Points?"

Even with over one and a half million Tower Points already in hand, it still wasn't enough to empty out everything available in the Tier 1 Tower's Exchange. Vincent, being the hoarder he was, couldn't let it go to waste. If there was even a tiny chance to amass more, he was absolutely determined to seize it!

Without hesitation, the Tower's voice answered his inquiry.

[You can.]

Short and direct, but enough for Vincent.

"Great."

[Would you like to proceed?]

"Not yet. Let me take a rest."

[You have 5 minutes to rest.]

"Five minutes? Isn't it ten?"

...

Despite his question, the Tower's voice remained silent after half a minute of waiting.

"Forget it…" he muttered, letting out a defeated sigh.

"Open the Tower's Exchange."

Once the Tower's Exchange interface appeared before him, Vincent contemplated for a moment before opening the Equipment Tab.

Soon enough, a long list of available items unfolded before his eyes. The items were separated into two distinct sections: Armor and Accessories.

Vincent scanned through the list carefully, noting the details of some standout pieces:

Item Name: Mentalist Dark Robe

Cost: 10,000

Item Name: Mental Resistance Circlet

Vincent didn't waste much time dwelling on lesser items. He quickly snatched up the top 10 rare-grade items listed.

-100,000 Tower Points!

With these newly acquired treasures, he felt an immense sense of satisfaction. Most of the remaining items in the Equipment Tab were either common or uncommon, so he shifted his focus.

Systematically, he cleared out all the rare-grade skills, weapons, and other miscellaneous items available. Even after that shopping spree, Vincent found himself with an impressive half a million Tower Points still at his disposal.

Afterward, with half a million Tower Points still left, he exchanged for available uncommon items.

When he finally used up all his Tower Points, he equipped the new items, greatly increasing his mental power.

He donned the Mentalist Dark Robe, placed the Mindstone Ring on one finger, and wore the Mental Resistance Circlet on his wrist.

"Now… let's continue!"

Soon, hundreds of Peak Tier 1 primals began appearing before him.

"Well, isn't that almost three times the amount from the previous level?"

Several minutes later, Vincent exhaled deeply after killing the 400th primal. He was rewarded with 800 points and a multiplier of 10,000 on his talent!

Without hesitation, Vincent swept up the remaining Tier 1 items in the Tower's Exchange.

"Hehehe," Vincent chuckled wickedly, unable to suppress his delight at completely sweeping the inventory.

His actions, however, didn't go unnoticed. The rapid depletion of the Tier 1 Exchange sent ripples of shock among other challengers, sparking a frenzy.

Initially, his clearing of rare-grade items had already caused a commotion. But now, his action of emptying the entire Tier 1 Exchange caused a new uproar among challengers.

"N-No! This can't be happening!"

"No, bro! My rare-grade Armament!"

"Why is this happening here too?!"

Amidst the chaos, Vincent's challenger name, 'Magnus,' quietly appeared on the Tier 1 leaderboard in the No. 1 spot, only to disappear moments later.

One observer rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

"What was that?" he murmured, confused.

As confusion reigned, digital lights began appearing outside the Tower as challengers exited.

Someone shouted, "The Tower's Exchange items have disappeared!"

"Is that real?" another person asked.

"Yes! I was about to exchange for an uncommon-grade skill when I found it was empty. I thought it was a bug, but nothing changed even after refreshing or waiting. Then I remembered the Tower of Combat incident…"

"Yeah, true! I just entered the tower, and the whole exchange was emptied!"

The murmurs intensified as they speculated what had happened. None of them considered the possibility of a single person emptying the Exchange—it was simply impossible.

At least, so they believed.

Amidst the confusion, Valyn naturally also heard the commotion.

"It happened again?" she whispered, clearly confused.

This had never occurred before, but ever since she brought Vincent to the Tower of Combat, impossible events began happening.

"Was it because of him?" she wondered before shaking her head. It seemed unlikely.

Vincent was only Tier 1. Although he was stronger than an average Tier 1, it shouldn't be enough to cause such disruptions.

Unbeknownst to them, Vincent had already started the Tier 2 challenge.

At this moment, he was facing an illusory primal resembling a 3-meter-tall black-furred boar.
