Daniel frowned slightly as he read the description of the second skill. This kind of ability would be a blessing for most mages.
But for him? Well, even for him, it was actually pretty good. It's just that, unlike other mages, he didn't have any mana shortage problems—naturally, because he could get ten percent of the stats from each of his Fallen.
Still, it's not like he could do anything about it. Besides, who doesn't like having more mana?
He turned his attention back to understanding the Scripture, unaware that just a little distance away, two people were staring at him like he was some kind of anomaly.
"It hasn't even been ten minutes, right? And he's already reached the bronze level? How the hell is that possible?" The middle-aged man couldn't believe if what he was seeing was even real.
This was the most terrifying comprehension speed he had seen in his entire life.
Atlas didn't say anything and just stared at Daniel in shock. Even in his own imagination, this speed had been beyond belief. At this rate, as long as nothing went wrong and his speed didn't suddenly drop, he might actually reach fifty percent comprehension.
Although he sighed. The more you comprehend, the harder it becomes to progress further. He had no doubt Daniel's speed would gradually slow down.
[You have comprehended 7% of the Transcendent Scripture.]
[You have comprehended 3% of the Transcendent Scripture.]
However, contrary to their expectations, Daniel's comprehension speed not only didn't decrease—it actually increased significantly.
At the same time, Daniel could feel the changes happening in his body. His spiritual sea was expanding, which honestly surprised him a bit.
He could also feel that his mana recovery speed was increasing. With that in mind, he wondered—wasn't now the best time to temper his body with mana?
He'd been planning for a long time to reinforce his body as much as possible with mana, but he never had the time or enough mana to do it.
Even though his mana was much higher than most people of his rank, it still wasn't enough to temper his entire body. But now, maybe he could reinforce both arms and legs, and at least some of his muscles, increasing their strength.
The problem was, he was in the middle of understanding the Scripture. He was afraid that diverting his attention would reduce his comprehension speed.
[You have comprehended 3% of the Transcendent Scripture.]
[Congratulations, you have successfully comprehended the third level of the Transcendent Scripture.]
[You have acquired the skill: Mana Regeneration (Healing)]
[Rank: S]
[Description: Allows you to convert mana into vitality and heal yourself. Works only on your own body and cannot heal fatal injuries.]
Daniel looked at the skill description again. This one could also be very useful. If he got injured in a fight, he could heal himself now.
Even if it wasn't much, it still helped—and it would definitely boost his endurance in battle.
But what really caught his attention was why he'd never heard of a skill like this before. Could it be that this skill simply isn't well-known among the Awakened in his world?
It was possible that access to it was limited too, but Daniel felt there was more to it. Especially since the magic towers in his world were just copies of the ones from this realm. Because of that, he suspected they might not have access to these kinds of Scriptures.
'Doesn't that mean the mages in my world are weaker than the native mages of the Celestial Domain?' Daniel hadn't expected that.
But the more he thought about it, the more it made sense. His world still had a long way to go to catch up with the Celestial Domain.
"He already reached the silver level? Damn it, is this kid even human?" The middle-aged man couldn't believe what he was seeing.
His name was Zion, and he had worked in the magic tower for over fifty years. He was nearly at the peak of rank B and had trained many students.
But he had never seen a monster like this before. This kind of comprehension speed wasn't something you could compare with words. At this rate, he might even reach the turquoise level.
Atlas remained silent, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
[You have comprehended 3% of the Transcendent Scripture.]
[You have comprehended 11% of the Transcendent Scripture.]
[You have comprehended 3% of the Transcendent Scripture.]
[You have comprehended 7% of the Transcendent Scripture.]
Thanks to the blessing of the [Fallen's Grace], Daniel was progressing through the Scripture with terrifying speed.
It didn't take long for the color to shift from silver to gold—he had officially comprehended 50% of the Scripture.
[Congratulations, you have successfully comprehended the fourth level of the Transcendent Scripture.]
[You have acquired the passive skill: Golden Mana Ring.]
[Rank: S+]
[Description: Mages can use this skill to enhance the quality of their mana rings. The more talented you are, the greater the quality enhancement.]
"….."
Daniel's first reaction was that this skill was beyond overpowered! He had heard that it was possible to improve the quality of mana rings, but due to his limited access in the online community, he couldn't find out how.
This skill didn't work for him since he didn't use mana rings—but that didn't make it any less OP. The higher the quality of a mana ring, the more mana it could store, the faster the recovery speed, and the greater the power it could draw from elemental or law-based sources.
Still, this skill was incredibly hard to obtain. Even the great mage Atlas had only managed to comprehend 48% and failed to acquire it. Clearly, the number of people who possessed this skill— even in the Celestial Domain—had to be extremely limited.
Daniel was starting to feel tempted to abandon his spiritual sea and go with mana rings instead. But if he did that, there would be no place left for his Fallen to live in.
He pushed those thoughts away and focused back on the rest of the Scripture. He was nearly at the end.
By now, neither Zion nor Atlas dared to speak. Their eyes were completely locked on Daniel, with only one thought in their minds:
Was a legend about to be born in their magic tower today?
