'Wow…'

To think that the after effects of me testing the newly acquired crystal would cause such after currents… Well, it was mostly good stuff anyway.

Firstly, the so called evolution requirement sounded reasonable as 10 points is supposed to be the limit to normal people, but then again that still didn't give me a lead to the supposed 2nd or even 3rd requirement that is needed to achieve this evolution…

Secondly, while the buff of 'Dual Wielder' was sealed, it was still the best outcome possible, after all, my dexterity up to now was a mix of my own and the buff's increment, but now not only did it get boosted by another 10%, it genuinely became my own!

Thirdly, the increase of the points received from leveling up was the best after-effect of them all, I ended up receiving 000 for the levels I gained already, and after a quick calculation it turned out that I would receive 0.898 points for every level up from now on!

And finally, I still couldn't hide my surprise regarding 'Cell Mastery's domineering ability, I had already reached the peak for normal elemental masters! Yet I still didn't reach the intermediate layer...

This had made me quite curious as to what was the limits to practicing such an ability, I almost had a crazy thought as well.

Since I had collected all the Grade three crystals in the gate, I ended up having 43 purified ones at hand excluding the one I used earlier, so…. What if I used them until I finally reached the intermediate layer?

But then again, while they were 40% more efficient to use now, lower grade crystals would lose their value of yield less elements as one's elemental ability rose higher, that was because small aggregations of elements in the crystals would normally be oppressed by the higher quantity and quality of the refined elements causing them to be useless for higher stage holders…

In the end, I decided to put a limit to myself and still try it since I still had time as it was still 7 PM so I didn't really have to leave early as the darkness of the night was also a good cover for me.

'Well then… 12 I guess?'

12 points, that was the limit I decided to put to myself, if I still failed to reach the intermediate layer by then, I would use Grade-0 crystals diligently until they are depleted or if then truly become useless for me.

As for why 12? Not much of a point, but reaching 12 points itself would take at least 4 hours and staying any later than this didn't sound like a good idea as it might blow my cover.
