Alpha Reborn!

After bidding farewell to Magnus and Lirian, Evan found himself alone in his room with his newly acquired gifts.

Without wasting any time, he set them aside and retrieved his control-type soul plate, inspecting it.

[Inspection Successful]

[You have gained knowledge about the Skill Weaver Soul Plate!]

To his astonishment, Evan discovered that his soul plate was different from the one he had seen in his vision.

It allowed him to control "Skills" instead of soul energy, a far more advantageous trait for him.

With this soul plate, he could manipulate anything he created with his abilities with remarkable precision and efficiency.

'Such a control-type soul plate can't be considered weak. It's applicable in so many situations that it's ridiculous.'

Evan couldn't believe the versatility of his control-type soul plate, as it was no less amazing than a miracle. His prayer had been heard by the Moon Goddess. It was just that she answered it in a way different than he expected.

Typically, it would take considerable effort and time for an awakened soul cultivator to comprehend the workings of their soul plate. However, using his Inspection Skill, Evan was able to grasp the effect of his soul plate in an instant.

It was a truly awe-inspiring feat.

If someone had witnessed it, their eyes would have popped out of their sockets in amazement and disbelief.

Evan's countenance shifted into a pensive expression, and he brought his hand behind his back in a manner reminiscent of a cultivator lost in contemplation.

ραпdαn૦νel 'Actually, control-type soul plates are considered weak not because they are worse than others but because there aren't many skill crystals that are compatible with them. However, I have the perfect solution for that. I have obtained it by risking my life back in the Kobold's Den of Mischief.'

He knew that the lack of compatible skill crystals was the main reason why control-type soul plates were perceived as inferior by the citizens of the Sun Moon Empire. However, he had the perfect match for his soul plate—the Blade Master Skill Crystal.

The very thought of it sent a thrill coursing through him.

Without a moment's hesitation, he plunged the Blade Master Skill Crystal into the vacant slot of his control-type soul plate.

As he felt the crystal lock into place, a rush of energy surged through his body, setting his nerves alight with anticipation.

Boom!

Suddenly, there was a thunderous roar as the energy of the Blade Master Skill Crystal resonated with the soul plate, demonstrating a perfect harmony between the two.

Evan felt an incredible surge in his power level, and he couldn't help but grin from ear to ear with satisfaction.

The notification from the system chimed in his mind, its familiar sound echoing through his consciousness. It beckoned his attention, demanding he takes notice of the message that awaited him.

[Ding! Your soul plate has been permanently equipped with an offensive-type skill crystal.]

[Congratulations, Player Evan. You have gained the power to use the Thunderous Blade Wave skill!]

[The Thunderous Blade Wave is a fearsome supernatural technique that harnesses the frigid power of your ice-type soul energy to imbue your sword with an unparalleled power. Once triggered, the sword will unleash a piercing and destructive arc of ice, slicing through anything that stands in its way each time you swing it. Its chilling blast is strong enough to demolish even the most resilient structures and inflict severe frostbite upon any foe caught in its icy wake. Cost per usage: 100 units of ice-type soul energy! Requirement: Melee weapon.]

Evan was intimately familiar with the destructive power of the Thunderous Blade Wave, having witnessed its devastating effects in his previous life. According to his knowledge, Vera was slated to learn the Breath of Frost Technique and subsequently use the Blade Wave against his enemies, but only after first capturing, interrogating, and torturing a Frost clan elder. But that future was now forever lost, as Vera had already perished.

Evan knew that in combat, this ability was best suited for taking down heavily-armored opponents or breaking through a siege. The icy onslaught that could be conjured through the use of this ability was nothing short of breathtaking, leaving destruction in its wake and freezing even the strongest of players to their core. In the game, Vera had relied on this ability to survive the onslaught of countless high-level players for hours before finally succumbing to his wounds.

It was a known fact that with great strength came great risk. In the game, the Blade Master Skill Crystal was described as a double-edged sword. One misstep and the Thunderous Blade Wave could just as easily turn against its wielder. Evan, however, didn't need to worry about that as he could perfectly control it with the passive ability of his control-type soul plate.

When using his Blade Master Skill Crystal in conjunction with his control-type soul plate and ice-type soul energy, he could create a destructive arc of ice that he could maneuver as he liked!

"I am not done yet!"

Evan retrieved the precious Skill Upgrade Card from his inventory. It was the second reward he had acquired for completing the grueling "Slippery Slush Smackdown" Mission, and he had been saving it precisely for this moment.

"The time has come to put you to good use."

Evan felt excited as he gently pressed the Skill Upgrade Card against the smooth surface of his Blade Master Skill Crystal

As he did so, an otherworldly transformation took place before his very eyes.

The card, as if summoned by a mystical force, disintegrated into a mesmerizing shower of golden dust that bathed the crystal in a surreal glow.

The energy emanating from the crystal felt ethereal, almost otherworldly, and he struggled to comprehend its true nature. It was as if the crystal had been imbued with a mysterious power that transcended his current understanding of the universe.

With a resounding "Ding!" sound, a message materialized before him, bathed in a soft glow. The words glimmered in the air, inviting him to read them attentively.

[Ding! Congratulations, Player Evan! The Blade Master Skill Crystal has evolved.]

[A new type of power has been unlocked!]
