Upgrade.
...
Ekhael gasps for air as he lie down on the ground.
"I... I can't continue anymore, gasp..." Ekhael again took another deep breath as he decided to rest for a while before continuing punching the dummy.
As he was resting, Ekhael decided to open his character panel to see how much Exp he gained.
"System, show me my character panel."
Ding!

...
Upon seeing his Exp points, Ekhael could not help but to be stunned.
"Wait! My Exp increased by this much? I only needed to hit the dummy properly once then i would successfully become a 2nd Body Reinforcement realm!"
It is to fast!
Seeing that he would advance soon, Ekhael laughed out loud for a few times before suddenly coughing out due to the lack of oxygen.
Wait...
As he was coughing Ekhael noticed that the required exp to upgrade to the next level increased from the original 20 points to 21 points.
Although he would still become 2nd Body Reinforcement realm just by hitting properly the wooden dummy once, the increase in exp required to upgrade worries him.
What if in the future the necessary exp required to level up increases too much? Doesn't that mean he would stay longer in that same realm?
Worrying about his future, Ekhael decided to ask the system and the Upper World Will out loud. Hoping that they would clear his worry.
Ding!
[ The host doesn't need to worry about the increase in the necessary Exp required to upgrade to the next realm.
It could be said that the increase in necessary Exp is a good thing for the host. (The only drawback of the increase in the necessary Exp is it would take the host longer to advance.) ]
"I see, can you explain why the required Exp to advance suddenly increases?" Ekhael again asked the system about the reason.
Ding!
[ Due to the changes in the body of the hosts, he could fill more Qi shards on his body.
Making the necessary Exp required to advance to the next stages increases and at the same time it would also increase the strength gained by the host upon advancing. ]
"I see... Wait does that mean my strength would be above compared to the cultivators in the same realm!?"
Ding!
[ Yes, although the host strength would be above compared to the cultivators in the same realm upon advancing towards the 2nd Body Reinforcement realm.
The gap in strength would not be that much. If the host is not careful he would still die in the battle with the same realm.]
Hmmm...
Upon reading the message of the system, Ekhael nearly understands the message sent by the system.
Basically, if he did calculate. His strength would be 5% stronger compared to the normal cultivators who only need to fill 20 exp points before advancing.
Although the increment is only 5%, Ekhael would still become satisfied just by increasing his strength.
Even if the increment is only 1% he would still gladly accept it.
...
Closing his character panel, Ekhael looked toward the clear blue sky as he continued resting.
Minutes passed by, as he was resting, doing nothing except looking at the clear blue sky. Ekhael soon became bored, clearly not used on doing nothing.
Hiss... Never mind.
"System, open the character panel again!"
Ekhael said in a low voice as he decided to check the remaining rewards he received from killing the feline.
Ding!
[ Random Low - Heaven Cultivation Technique.]
[ Skill upgrade card (only works below epic rank!)]
...
Ekhael stared towards the two rewards in dilemma before deciding to check the Skill upgrade card.
Ding!
[ Skill Upgrade Card
Increase the grade of a skill by one. ( only works below epic rank skill.]
Ekhael stared towards the description of the skill upgrade card as he began to ponder on what skill to upgrade.
Currently Ekhael only has two skills which are the Harvester(Rare) and the Enhanced Spirit(Uncommon).
The first skill which is the Harvester skill mainly focused on Increasing the speed growth of the plants depending on its grade. Making him rely on it for his own food.
While the second one is the Enhance Spirit which increases his Spirit passively, it also increases his defense towards soul related attacks by small amount.
Although he never sees the effect in reality, Ekhael always believes that its value is equal towards the first skill.
"So which skill will I upgrade?"
Ekhael thought for a moment before deciding on what skill he would upgrade.
Ding!
[ Upgrading the skill ... ]
