120- Charm Stat hidden ability

Wait? Now that my ‘Resistance’ stat has increased by 5 points, does that mean that my stat limit has also increased to a certain extent?

Well, the only way to confirm it is to increase my stats.

“System, excluding the [Charm] and [Intelligence] stats increase all the stats up to the safety limit.”

‘ding'

‘25 Free stat points have been added to the Strength Stat’

‘25 Free stat points have been added to the Agility Stat’

‘20 Free stat points have been added to the Defense Stat’

‘20 Free stat points have been added to the Sense Stat’

‘20 Free stat points have been added to the Stamina Stat’

.

Woah...good enough.

Well, I guess now I can say it sincerely- The torment that I had to go through while practicing the [8 Levels of Qi Reforging Technique] was really worth it.

Putting this matter behind, I decided to increase the ‘Charm’ stat and see if there is any hidden ability or features that will be unlocked.

So, I told the system

“System, add 25 Free stat points to the [Charm] stat.”

After the system confirmation was issued, I waited for

1 second...

2 seconds...

3 seconds...

.

1 minute...

.

2 minutes...

.

Still nothing.

I thought that like almost every stat that has reached 50, charm stat might also unlock some hidden ability, but the system did not give any notification.

Is it that the Charm stat does not have any hidden ability?

Stop it. Let’s not jinx it yet.

And after the Charm stat was increased, I felt that something changed internally, but the feeling was barely detectable. And before I could find what it was, the feeling was gone.

Now, let me see if there is any hidden ability that can be unlocked after the ‘Charm’ stat reaches 100, and at the same time let me discover what happens when the ‘Charm’ stat increases again?

With that, I told the system to add, 25 Free stat points and repeat it after a minute.

Quickly, I started focusing to locate any change that occurs internally.

As soon as the first batch of Free stat points were added to the ‘Charm’ stat, I could feel the changes taking place in my ‘Sea of consciousness’.

I looked into my ‘Sea of consciousness’ and I found that the ‘Thousand petaled Lotus’ has undergone some changes which are barely noticeable.

To confirm my speculation, I waited for the second batch of ‘Free stat points’ that are to be added within a minute.

.

Finally, after a minute, some invisible energy was supplied to the ‘Thousand petaled Lotus’ and something changed within the ‘Thousand petaled Lotus’ but I cannot express that in words.

Is this what people call lack of knowledge?

Or I can presume that I am not strong enough, so I am unaware of many magical things and the system capabilities, but one day I will unravel all the mysteries.

I hope so.

‘ding’

‘Host has unlocked a hidden ability related to the [Charm] stat: Perception & Intuition’

Perception & Intuition:

This is a passive ability, which alerts the host from any danger or harm that is about to befall on the host (Kind of like a sixth sense- [For clarity purpose]). And this ability also informs if anyone nearby to the host is hostile.

[This Ability’s efficiency increases as stats like Intelligence, Sense, and Charm stats increase.]

.

Is that it?

Damn, I was expecting an awesome ability.

Although, the ability is not bad, but... sigh it should be good for now.

Anyway, there have been situations where I have been ambushed, for example, the ‘Bald’ guy’s team had surrounded us and before we could react or at least detect them, it was already late.

So, if anyone has any hostility towards me, this ability will show its usefulness.

Well, let me increase ‘Charm’ little by little, or else the system will issue a warning like ‘Overload’ or something similar to it.

.

Well, now that all the miscellaneous tasks are done, let me get some sleep.

-----------------------

Author’s note:

Just a few more chapters related to cultivation and stuff. Then I will take out MC from the forest, even I am bored and need some action. So, bear with me for few more chapters.

-----------------------

I woke up early in the morning and sat down to cultivate.

The ‘Beginning stage’ is divided into 2 parts.

The first part is to generate and gather [Qi].

And the seconds part is to move [Qi] throughout the body freely, by supplying and injecting [Qi] into the blood.

By supplying and injecting [Qi] into the blood, the blood becomes purer without any impurities.

But before that, I decided to cleanse my blood of any impurities with the help of different kinds of herbs and medicines.

It is not only done by major clans like the Leon clan but it is even mentioned in the brown book.

So, I ate various types of herbs and medicines that are related to blood.

Luckily, I obtained many herbs in the forest while I was trying to get out of the forest with Armelia. And now all the things that I have picked up are now useful.

.

I vomited few mouthfuls of dirty blood which contained impurities in it. Not a bad thing.

Unfortunately, as I am still poisoned and no matter how much I cleanse the blood, I was not able to remove the poison from my blood. But the good news is, I was able to remove a small amount of poison.

After that, I started injecting the [Qi] into the blood.

And as soon as I did that, I felt that the blood was energized.

‘ding’

‘Stamin +1’

Wow, that’s a nice surprise. With that enthusiasm, I continued injecting [Qi].

‘ding’

‘Stamin +1’

‘ding’

‘Stamin +1’

.

‘ding’

‘Congratulations, you have reached the peak of the ‘Beginning’ stage’

.

“Uffff...”

I breathed out with relief.

And I gained 100 Stamina due to this.

Not bad, not bad at all.

Actually, there is not much increase in power/ combat prowess after reaching the Awakening stage and the Beginning stage.

In the Awakening stage, people are barely able to improve their senses and they gain nothing else. While, those who are talented are able to hone their sense to some good amount, while some don’t even feel any change. And in my case, my Sense stat increased by 24 points and my intelligence stat increased by 19 points. Which is extremely good, when comparing based on the stat numbers.

While in the Beginning Stage, there is a little increase in power, and while mostly only blood is purified.

So, even if someone is in the Awakening stage or the Beginning stage, their combat prowess will not be much different from a mortal human who has never cultivated.

Or in simple terms, when based on body strength and flexibility

The chances that an Awakening stage cultivator might get defeated by an ordinary mortal is 50%.

While the chances that a Beginning stage cultivator might get defeated by an ordinary mortal is 20-30%.

Well, of course, any fighting experience and techniques are also excluded when comparing.
