Chapter 45: Lv.3Frenzy (Uncommon Grade).

Half an hour passed since then and I continued to adjust myself to the Stats that kept on adding periodically to my Attributes in STATUS.

Then, I was greeted with notifications that brought a broad smile on my face.

[MJ killed Lv.11 Rotten Frenzy Dog]

[550 Life Energy obtained]

[With MJ being a part of your soul, you will receive all the Life Energy of the monsters that MJ kills.]

But that wasn't the end of the notifications, and what came after caused me to almost jump with excitement.

[16 Stats Looted]

___________________

___________________

The cause of my excitement was because I discovered that my Innate Talent LOOT was automatically activated every time MJ killed a monster.

After that, I communicated with MJ. He was able to function as my personal Soul A.I even when he was in his Battle Form.

It was like MJ was multitasking since he was within the Hobgoblin Shaman's Corpse and in my mind at the same time.

It seemed that while he was scouting the surrounding area; he was attacked by an Lv.11 Rotten Frenzy Dog (Low-Phase Tier-2).

Since MJ's stats were the same as mine, he was as powerful as a Mid-Phase Tier-2 life Form.

Moreover, I gave the Shaman Fire Staff to 'Hobgoblin MJ' and through our soul connection, he was able to use the Grade-3Fire Innate Talent that I looted from the Hobgoblin Shaman.

'Hobgoblin MJ' was able to use the various fire elemental attacks because when MJ integrated with Hobgoblin Shaman's corpse, he also gained its Fire Mastery along with all of its Skills.

So, 'Hobgoblin MJ' killed the Lv.11 Rotten Frenzy Dog with ease even when that monster used its rather powerful Innate Skill, Frenzy.

When I read the description of the Skills in the notification, I chose the Lv.3Frenzy right away and merged with it.

It was the first Skill I came across that needed a percentage of Stamina instead of a particular amount.

I wanted to know what would happen when I used it when I was in INVERSE mode.

But there was still a little less than 3 hours left for Cooldown duration to end.

So, I didn't think much about it and continued training in Longsword Mastery after instructing MJ to actively kill any monster he comes across while scouting the surroundings.

9 hours passed since I started training in Longsword Mastery and half of the time, I had a smile plastered on my face.

It was due to the occasional notification pop-ups I received from 'Hobgoblin MJ' killing monsters.

Without me even killing any monster, my level increased four levels and reached Lv.24. I even used up the Undistributed Stats I obtained from those 4 level ups.

I added them so that all the Stats in my 5 main Attributes stay in equilibrium.

With that, the Skill Harmony automatically activated, and the problem with adjustment to the increased Stats in a short time was no more.

Of course, that would also mean I couldn't feel emotions since I was in the State of Harmony.

There was 3 Undistributed Stats left, and if I wanted to exit the State of Harmony, I could just add it to any of the 5 main Attributes and disrupt their balance.

Then I looked at the congratulatory notifications that floated in front of me as the Sword Aura's colour on the Steam Wind Sword turned from cyan to dark blue.

[Congratulations! You have advanced to Lv.21Sword Aura by comprehending Lv.21Longsword Mastery.]

[Congratulations! Your Longsword Mastery and Sword Aura upgraded from Stage-2 to Stage-3.]

[Congratulations! You have gained the Stage-3 Mastery Perk, Sword Aura Projectile by reaching Stage-3 Sword Aura.]

[Congratulations! Your Achievement Title, Training Maniac-I upgraded to Training Maniac-II.]

Only when the notifications of Stage-3Sword Aura appeared did I finally halt the non-stop training that lasted for the past 9 hours.

With my increased Endurance Attribute, I had 475 points in Stamina. So, I was able to last long under such intense training.

But, I was only left with one-eighth of the total Stamina and to recover them; I rested on the sand bed and took out the three Lesser Stamina Fruits I had in the storage space.

While eating them, I opened the Trial World Alpha Leaderboard, and within it, there were 167 names ranked according to their level, indicating that 152 more Alpha Chosen evolved to Tier-2 in the last 9 hours.

After the top 100 rankings were filled, no more congratulatory notifications appeared in the sky that appear whenever someone reached Tier-2.

Just like 9 hours ago, I was still ranked first as I stood at Lv.24. The second and third ranks also didn't change, with both 'Regaz' and 'Drogor' in Lv.19.

Coming down to the fourth-ranked and below, the levels difference increased once more as they were below Lv.15.

Just as I took a bite at the third Lesser Stamina Fruit, 'Hobgoblin MJ' entered the Maze centre with a little more than 20 of those fruits.

15 minutes before gaining Stage-3 Sword Aura, I mentally communicated with MJ through our soul connection and asked him to bring all the Lesser Stamina Fruits from the Lesser Stamina Tree that I found beside the Poisonous Spider's cave.

Even when I ate four more of those Lesser Stamina Fruits, only half of my Stamina was recovered.

As for the remaining half, I let my recently upgraded Skill, Passive Stamina Regeneration-II from crossing 50 Stats in my Endurance Attribute.

With that, my Stamina Regeneration increased even more, and I just had to rest for half an hour before my Stamina completely recovers.

During the 9 hours long intense training, I entered INVERSE mode, two more times so that 5* Looted Stats get added to my STATUS every time I exit that mode.

Even though I had to go through the pain that was enough to kill me several times over every time I underwent INVERSE, I still did it.

Since I was in the state of harmony, my mind was clearer than ever, and any trivial emotion of pride from being ranked first among the 11 million Alpha Chosen was thoroughly suppressed.

As a result, my determination to gain absolute power didn't waver in the least.

From the 5 times that I underwent INVERSE, my Physical Pain Resistance reached Lv.62. After it reached Lv.50, gaining higher levels in it got harder.

I wondered whether I would be immune to pain if I were to reach Lv.100 in Physical Pain Resistance.

But it was a question for another time as MJ couldn't find anything about it even with his Tier-4 System Access.

I let it aside and opened my STATUS and went through everything in it.
