Chapter 105 105: Another Achievement Unlocked!



Evan's mind was interrupted by a familiar notification from the system.

The message read,

[Ding! Congratulations, Player Evan. You have killed the last member of the pack of Extraterrestrial Monster. You've gained +150 EXP!] 

[As this is your first time defeating a pack of Extraterrestrial Monster, you will gain an bonus reward. You've gained a major boost in all your stats.] 

[Your Constitution has increased to 88 points.] 

[Your Dexterity, Strength, Agility, And Stamina has increased to 100 points.]

Evan couldn't help but grin at unlocking another achievement. He knew it was a significant milestone, but he also knew that it wouldn't be long before the challenges he would've to complete to unlock achievements would become even tougher. After all, he was close to unlocking all the easy ahcivements as a player.

"Unlocking achievements is always satisfying," he muttered to himself. "But I am not left with many easy-to-unlock achievements. I guess I need to enjoy it while I still can because it won't be easily possible in the future."

Evan's smirk widened as he took a moment to appreciate his impressive stats.

He was a soul cultivator with ridiculously high stats in all areas, including but not limited to Dexterity, Strength, Agility, and Stamina. Even the most dedicated body tempering experts who aimed to become galactic soldiers wouldn't have such stats. 

He was essentially a low-level boss monster in human form.

It was incredibly rare for a soul manifestation realm cultivator to have such remarkable physical attributes. Out of a million cultivators at his level, maybe not a single one would have such stats.

His physique was so strong that he might be the only soul manifestation realm cultivator with such raw power in the entire empire. The only person he had seen who came closer to him in terms of physical strength was Dante. However, Dante had gone through hell to achieve his level of physical prowess, while his journey, although bloody, intense and ferocious, wasn't as painful or miserable. 

If there were devices capable of measuring Evan's physical abilities, the entire empire would be astounded at how perfectly suited he was for becoming a galactic soldier. This was due to the fact that Evan had already reached the maximum limit for Dexterity, Strength, Agility, and Stamina - four crucial attributes that determined an individual's survival skills when attempting to remove their first limiter. The first limiter removal was a daunting and perilous task that only the strongest and most capable body tempering experts could handle. Yet, Evan's physical capabilities surpassed even the most elite and dedicated body tempering experts in the Black Eye Galaxy. His near-perfect mortal physique made him an exceptional candidate for the Galactic Soldier Class.

[You have reached the maximum limit of your DEX, STR, AGT, and STA stats!]

Evan couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment as the system's notification rang in his mind once again. The boost in stats he had been receiving from his energy-ranked and magic-ranked weapons and equipment was now diminishing. He knew that his Dexterity, Strength, Agility, and Stamina had already reached their maximum limit, and couldn't be improved any further until he became a 1-star Galactic warrior, even if he used magic-ranked or energy-ranked weapons or equipments. 

[They can not be improved any longer until you become a 1-star Galactic warrior!]

To achieve that, Evan knew he had to face the daunting challenge of removing his first limiter. It was a task that was considered harder than ascending to the heavens if attempted by a human, but with his near-perfect mortal physique, it might not be impossible. Moreover, he was determined to achieve this feat and become a 1-star Galactic warrior, no matter how difficult the journey ahead may be. Since he was determined, he believed that success was not impossible to achieve.

Within the Sun Moon Empire, physical strength played a secondary role in combat compared to the power of cultivation, soul plates, and ability crystals. Why rely on mere muscles when one could harness the power of your cultivation and skill crystals to overpower your opponents and make your point? 

It should also be mentioned that not all citizens of the empire were equally gifted or had the same potential as some of them were humans, some were demi-humans, and some belonged to races that might or not resemble humans in shape or form.

For those who lacked sufficient talent and comprehension ability, the road to mastery was long and arduous. Both body tempering and soul cultivation required significant investments of time and effort. It was not uncommon for some to remain stuck in the first stage for years, especially if they attempted to practice both without having adequate talent. Meanwhile, their peers, who focused on only one path, soared to greater heights.

That's why it was often recommended to choose one path and focus on it exclusively. Trying to pursue both simultaneously risked spreading one's efforts too thin, leading to slower progress and hampered growth.

Even though he knew all that, Evan was resolute in his decision to pursue both body tempering and soul cultivation. He acknowledged that there were benefits to focusing solely on his soul cultivator, but the advantages of being a galactic warrior were too extraordinary to be ignored. Although it was widely acknowledged that galactic soldiers were weaker than soul cultivators since they lacked the means of harnessing the power of skill crystals, they possessed many advantages over soul cultivators in the latter stages.

For instance, high-level galactic soldiers could traverse the stars with nothing but the strength of their body, a feat that was unattainable for most soul cultivators. They were revered as powerful and skilled transcendental humans, capable of navigating the galaxy with ease and grace, respected wherever they went.

People who haven't seen the wider world would think otherwise.

Evan thought: It won't be a challenge for me to pursue both paths, as I have the Player System. With my ability to level up using EXP, it would be stupid to focus solely on one. I will find a way to unlock the first limiter after the inheritance war.
