Infinite Potential System

Chapter 402 Resistance Requirements

William needed to finish testing out his Magic, so Fria ended up returning to the city to gather some minor supplies and send a message to Elder Fan. She didn't forget to tell William not to destroy the Continent with his Spells, since he was terrifying the locals.

In her message, she told Elder Fan that she had met with William and planned to join him on a trip to the Arcturis Continent. She was sure that Elder Fan would probably try to convince her not to go with the madman Cultivator William, but she had made up her mind and wouldn't listen no matter what he said.

He's my brother, and it's only a game. So what if he's killed a lot of people?

William sneezed. Is someone thinking about me?

He shook his head and continued scrolling through the System Panel, also separating all the Resistance related Talents to their own section so it was easier to keep track of them. There were a lot of new Talents that he wanted to upgrade, and many more that he planned to purchase.

Even though I have all the Resistance Talents, the Talent Shop doesn't seem to have run out of options yet. System, let's spin for a thousand Talents this time!

-Request will cost 4,062,500 Potential Points, and there is roughly a 90% chance on average that you will not receive a Talent on each spin. Continue?

That's a sharp increase in cost, but I'm buying a thousand Talents at once. Even with a ninety percent failure rate, that's still about a hundred new Talents that I will earn. Let's do it! Discover stories at empire

William didn't want to be stingy with the Talent Shop at this point, since he was so close to Ascension. More than anything, William just wanted to gain access to as many Talents as possible that he could upgrade later.

After seeing what initially useless Talents like Navigation and Tailoring could do, William planned to make use of every possible Talent to increase his strength to the absolute maximum. Only then would he feel confident in surviving the Ascended Realms.

-Spinning Talents. This will take a long time...

You sound exasperated.

-You're working me like a slave.

You're an all-powerful being. How could I possibly tell you what to do?

-Yes.

Damn.

He looked at the other Talents' requirements, listing them off one by one.

Absorb Superior Wind Vein for the Stable Footing Talent. I can do that. I also need to absorb the Superior Water Vein for Gills. Then there's an Illuminant Eyeball for Blindness Resistance, a vial of Superior Holy Water for Blessing Resistance, and...

What the hell? You want a Bible for the Curse Resistance Talent? Is this a joke?

-A bible blessed by the Great Saintess, yes. If it's not blessed by her, it won't do.

Why do you need all this stuff just to upgrade my Talents?

-Your Talents can no longer improve simply through the use of energy. They need a catalyst to direct their growth in a certain way. What you were doing before was throwing money at a man on the street and asking for him to help you take out your trash, which any person can do.

-But now, throwing money at the same person and asking him to remodel your house probably won't get the job done as well as you'd like it to be. You need to throw the right amount of money at the right person, or in this case, spend the right amount of Potential Points and use the correct item.

-Surely, I can Ascend your Talents simply for one million Points, but do you really want a Resistance Talent that can't resist the powers that exist in the Ascended Realms?

The System's words made sense to William after a quick explanation. Had he already reached the point where the System couldn't simply help him on its own? Didn't this mean the stakes had gone up, and consequences would be immense?

-That's right. You may have arrived in this World as a man-child, but how you acted before will not keep you alive in the Ascended Realms. You are not invincible; you better be fully prepared for that.

William nodded his head seriously, scanning the Talents for those that were upgradable right now and separating them from the impossible ones.

Since he had the Glazier Talent now, he could raise it to X-Rank and refine his own stained glass to upgrade the Charm Resistance Talent. Additionally, he needed to absorb the Superior Wind and Water Veins as said before.

Other than that, I need a piece of Lead Ore, another Blood Bead, twenty thousand Soul Strength, a Tier 10 Appearance Restoration Pill, and...
