Chapter 47 Version 2.0 System
It was because of the system that he was able to train his body. The daily quests also helped him gain additional strength from the attributes, and ultimately, he could level up quickly, all thanks to the system.
Not having complete access to it for the better part of the last 66 days had made him feel somewhat dull and slowed down in many aspects. But that\'s over now; the system is back, and soon, he will regain access to everything and more.
< Ding! The system has successfully upgraded to version 2.0 >
< All locked features have been unlocked, and the host can now have unrestricted access. >
< Ding! The system has unlocked additional functions after the upgrade. >
< New Functions Unlocked >
< Venom Extractor >
-- Once the host slays a monster that possesses venom, the venom essence will be automatically extracted and absorbed into the host\'s body.
-- Any Kind of Venom that enters the host body will be absorbed.
-- By absorbing different types of venom, the host\'s resistance to poison will rise accordingly.
[Current immunity: 0.2%]
---------------
Karsha had already absorbed the first venom back in the forest when he had just escaped the slave mine, but because the system was undergoing an upgrade, the absorption was halted until the upgrade was finished.
Now that he had access to the system, he could see that the Green Viper Venom he extracted 55 days ago had only contributed to 0.2 percent of his total immunity. This was good news for him. He would soon be able to ingest poisons without worrying about any negative effects, as his immunity would continue to rise with each new venom entering his system.
"With the many snakes on this island, I can raise my immunity level significantly before leaving. This massacre will be legendary," Karsha giggled inwardly before shifting to the next function.
< Bloodline Extractor >
-- Because of the unique class you have awakened, whenever you kill something that has a bloodline, it will be extracted and absorbed by the class.
-- The higher the bloodline absorbed, the more powerful your class becomes.
-- It is advised to absorb bloodlines from Bloodthirsty Monsters and Humans.
-- The higher the bloodlust, the more powerful the class.
Note: The absorbed bloodline will only affect your class in leveling up to the next Tier.
Excitement surged through Karsha as he realized the potential of this new function. The prospect of becoming stronger by absorbing the bloodlines of powerful creatures and enemies was exhilarating. He could feel the power within him, ready to be unleashed.
"This island is full of opportunities," he thought. "With each kill, I\'ll become more formidable, and soon, no one will be able to stand in my way."
"Not that I\'m complaining, but isn\'t this turning me into a bloodthirsty maniac?" Karsha muttered with a grin. "Then again, I am the Inquisitor, the Annihilator. Killing is literally in my job description." He laughed out loud, making Ayarr, who was right outside, wonder what was happening inside the cave.
The bloodline extractor function allowed him to enhance his class\'s power even further. A berserker class was already strong, but Karsha could make it even stronger by absorbing other people\'s bloodlines. The higher the bloodlust of the target, the more powerful his bloodline would become.
-----------------
< Body Tempering >
- Using valuable and powerful resources, the host can temper his body by either eating or bathing in them.
- Consumables can be ingested, and the necessary resources will be extracted and used to strengthen the body.
- Non-consumable resources must be made into a bath, and the host will soak in it. The system will extract the needed essence and use it to temper the body.
- The system will extract all medicinal effects, and at the host\'s command, the body tempering process can start or end as desired.
- Unabsorbed essence will be stored for later use.
Note: This process is painful, so the host should be prepared before beginning body tempering.
---
In cultivation, body tempering is the method by which cultivators strengthen their bodies. Medicinal essence from valuable treasures is extracted, and when consumed or soaked in, it tempers the body.
The more powerful the resources used, the greater the effect. However, the process is painful, so most people can only temper their bodies for a short time. Prolonged exposure in the bath may result in injuries to the body and possibly the organs. Often, the materials go to waste because the baths are single-use.
However, with the system acting as a medium to hold the essence, Karsha can absorb more essence and use it later to temper his body. He doesn\'t have to stay in the bath continuously. It\'s a cheat, but since nobody is complaining, there\'s no need to worry.

< Ding! Congratulations to the host. The system store has been enabled. You can now shop for Avatars, skills, techniques, weapons, armor, and many more items from the system store using Killer Points. >
< Killer Points can be earned by killing monsters and completing quests. >
"Great feature. I will definitely check it out," Karsha muttered. He didn\'t waste any time on it and proceeded to the next message.
---
< Skill upgrade system enabled. >
< Congratulations, you can now use Skill Points to upgrade your skills to the next Tier. >
< Skill Points can be earned by completing quests or killing monsters. >
Skills are rated in Tiers starting from Tier 1 upward. The higher the tier, the more powerful the skill. Unlike skill ratings, which can be enhanced by continuous use, tiers cannot be improved.
A Tier 1 skill will forever stay Tier 1. However, in Karsha\'s case, he can upgrade the tiers. He just needs to earn enough Skill Points to do that. It\'s a cheat that shouldn\'t exist, but thanks to the system, he will now be able to not only raise the ratings but also elevate the tier of the skills themselves.
"System, how many skill points do I need to upgrade the Red Eye Tiger skill to Tier 11?" Karsha, already seeing the advantage of this new feature, asked eagerly.
< Red Eye Tiger (Tier 10): SSS >
[Next upgrade: 0/1000 Skill points]
"Holy molly," Karsha exclaimed out loud when he saw the staggering 1000 skill points needed for the next tier upgrade. "What about the rest?"
[Tier 1 > Tier 2: 100 Skill Points]
[Tier 2 > Tier 3: 200 Skill Points]
[Tier 3 > Tier 4: 300 Skill Points]
[Tier 4 > Tier 5: 400 Skill Points]
[Tier 5 > Tier 6: 500 Skill Points]
[Tier 6 > Tier 7: 600 Skill Points]
[Tier 7 > Tier 8: 700 Skill Points]
[Tier 8 > Tier 9: 800 Skill Points]
[Tier 9 > Tier 10: 900 Skill Points]
[Tier 10 > Tier 11: 1000 Skill Points]
"That is a lot," Karsha complained, but he knew he needed to focus on the important details since he didn\'t have any skill points yet. Upgrading the skill would be incredibly useful, but it would also be costly.
Luckily for him, the next message brought a smile to his lips.
-----------------
< System Converter enabled >
- Are you out of particular system points and want a quick fix? Worry no more. I got you. I can convert EXP to Attribute, Killer, or Skill points and vice versa.
< Conversion Rate >
- EXP to Attribute: 10,000: 1
- EXP to Killer Points: 1,000: 1
- EXP to Skill Points: 10,000: 1
- Killer Points to Attribute: 1: 1
- Killer Points to Skill Points: 100: 1
"This is just too much. How am I going to get that many points?" Looking at the conversion rate, Karsha knew he was in for a ride. The rate was daunting. To get a single attribute point, he would need to spend 10,000 EXP.
"System, how much EXP do I have?"
< EXP: 30,604,900 >
"Well, I guess I killed a lot more than I thought." Seeing the millions of EXP, Karsha let a small smile escape his lips. "Convert all into Skill Points."
< Ding! Conversion complete. 3,604 Skill Points converted >
"Good. Upgrade Lightning Strike to Tier 6, Water Domain to Tier 6, and Ever Freezing Ice Domain to Tier 6."
< Ding! Skills Upgrade successful >
< Skill: Lightning Strike >
Rank: Tier 6
New Upgrade: When used inside a domain, an attack has a 70% chance of triggering Heaven\'s Wrath.
Heaven\'s Wrath:
- When triggered, the whole domain will turn into a vortex of thunder and lightning, and the strength of the lightning will be amplified by 200% for 2 minutes.
- All enemies caught within the domain will experience a 20% debuff for 2 minutes.
- Other skills used during the 2 minutes will receive a 120% boost.
---
< Skill: Ever Freezing Ice Domain >
Rank: Tier 6
New Upgrade: When the target\'s HP drops below 10%, there is a 20% chance the domain will trigger the Devil\'s Spear.
Devil\'s Spear:
- The domain will condense a 3-meter-long spear that contains 170% of the host\'s total attack power.
- If other skills are used inside the domain, they will be imbued into the spear.
---
< Skill: Water Domain >
Rank: Tier 6
New Upgrade: At will, the host can trigger Mana Eater Rain.
Mana Eater Rain:
- Using the water in the air, the host can trigger a rain that drains the mana of all enemies inside the domain.
- The enemies will keep losing 2% of their mana for 30 seconds.
"Holy molly, this is just too much. With this, I will be able to take down even a Tier 7 monster without much struggle." Karsha spoke, his voice full of joy when he read about the effect of his newly upgraded skills.
However, aside from the new upgrade, the overall strength of the skills has also increased. Now, his three variations have doubled their previous strength. With the new upgrade, if he were to face off against the Tier 6 mutant again, he would be able to wipe the floor with it.
