Chapter 115: Reached level 50
Chapter 115: Reached level 50
"Brother, what about the promise to Elder Wen?" Nita asked Lein as she was nearly finished with the food on her plate.
Hearing Nita's question, Lein had already anticipated it.
"Yeah, we were supposed to leave for the Guandu Realm yesterday afternoon, but due to the issues with the Indonesian island, we had to postpone it for a while," Lein replied casually.
It was true that he had delayed because of the issue on the Indonesian island, but that wasn't the real reason. Lein finished the food on his plate and then said, "We will level up before going to the Guandu Realm."
Yes, Lein wanted to increase his level before meeting Elder Wen again. He disliked the feeling of being powerless in front of someone with such terrifying strength, capable of destroying him with just one finger. That's why Lein had deliberately gathered many tier-5 exp bottles to break through the level 50 barrier.
Lein's current level was 41, as was Nita's. Over the past few days, after duplicating tier-5 exp bottles, Lein had amassed nearly 8 million tier-5 exp bottles. Each exp bottle would provide 100,000 exp points to the sovereign. In other words, one exp bottle was equivalent to the exp gained from killing several tier-2 creatures.
"Okay, brother, I'm ready," Nita replied enthusiastically. Who wouldn't want to become stronger?
Around 8 a.m., Lein and Nita finished eating, and they were currently in the garden area next to the town hall building. As usual, Lein and Nita loved this place because it was very comfortable and peaceful, with fresh air, the sound of small fountains, the sound of fish jumping in the pond, and the fragrance of flowers in the garden area.
The word "comfortable" wasn't enough to describe how Lein and Nita felt.
"Brother, by the way, what is your current status?" Nita, who was sitting on one of the benches, asked Lein.
Lein then explained his status panel to Nita.

"Wow... you got a lot of attribute bonuses from gaining titles and also a universe-level soul altar," Nita said with a slight hint of envy, hearing Lein's attribute values exceeding 16,000 points.
Nita's average attribute was around 12,000, still 4,000 points behind Lein's average.
"What's wrong? Don't you like it when your brother is stronger?" Lein asked with a sad expression.
"Haha... of course not, I was just kidding xD"
"Brother is the strongest," Nita said with a cheerful tone.
Lein rolled his eyes at Nita's fake praise, then he took out many exp bottles and handed some to Nita to use.
"Come on, use them, reach level 50, and promote."
Lein didn't wait any longer; he immediately opened the exp bottle panel and used them.
[Using (Tier 5 Exp Bottles), are you sure?]
"Yes"
As soon as he agreed, the exp bottles in Lein's hand disappeared. Then he felt a slight surge of energy entering his body, followed by the system notification panel.
[Consumed Tier 5 Exp Bottles, gained +100,000 exp] [Consumed Tier 5 Exp Bottles, gained +100,000 exp] ...
Every time Lein used an exp bottle, the notifications kept coming non-stop, clearly and in detail, showing the exp bottles consumed by Lein.
[Consumed Tier 5 Exp Bottles, gained +100,000 exp] [Consumed Tier 5 Exp Bottles, gained +100,000 exp] ...
"Nita, you can turn off the notifications so they don't bother you," Lein said to Nita, who was also seriously consuming the exp bottles. Nita's expression was like a doctor treating a patient, she was intently focused on the exp bottles in front of her.
"I already did, brother. My power is increasing so fast," Nita replied, not even looking away from the exp bottles in front of her.
"This girl..." Lein sighed deeply.
"Since when did this girl become a power maniac? Did something happen to her?" Lein wondered to himself. As far as Lein knew, Nita wasn't that interested in power.
[Consumed Tier 5 Exp Bottles, gained +100,000 exp] [Congratulations, Sovereign level increased. Level 43, Attribute points +1000] [Consumed Tier 5 Exp Bottles, gained +100,000 exp] ...
"Damn... just to level up once, it took 100,000 exp bottles," Lein said in surprise. He had guessed that the higher the level, the more bottles would be needed to level up. But still, Lein was shocked to realize it.
[Congratulations, Sovereign level increased. Level 45, Attribute points +1000]
...
[Congratulations, Sovereign level increased. Level 47, Attribute points +1000]
[Congratulations, Sovereign level increased. Level 49, Attribute points +1000]
...
"Come on, just a little more," Lein said impatiently. He was getting a bit bored using hundreds of exp bottles. Nita, who had been very excited before, was also getting a little tired by now.
[Consumed Tier 5 Exp Bottles, gained +100,000 exp] [Congratulations, Sovereign level increased. Level 50, Attribute points +1000]
"Ah... finally."
Lein spoke with an enthusiastic and relieved tone, stretching his arms back to loosen his muscles.
"I'm level 50 too, brother."
Nita also said excitedly from beside him, having reached level 50 at the same time as Lein.
"Great, what's your status now?" Lein asked casually.
Nita then opened her status panel and shared all her stats with Lein.

"Good, your attributes are higher than the top alliance leaders," Lein praised casually. And it was true—Nita's attributes were very high, even compared to the leaders of major alliances backed by their vast resources.
"Oh, by the way, should we also share some exp bottles with the core members?" Nita asked curiously. Just imagine, if ten core members of the World Market Trade alliance reached such a level, who could possibly rival them in the Divine Sky Realm?
Lein thought for a moment after hearing Nita's question. Out of the 8 million bottles he originally had, only a little over 3 million remained. With only 3 million bottles, it wouldn't be possible to distribute them to all the core members.
"Of course, we will share them, but not just yet."
"Tier-3 is sufficient for the alliance's operational activities," Lein replied calmly.
"By the way, did you see the promotion panel, Nita?" Lein asked Nita beside him. He was curious about what the promotion test at level 50 would be like, but after searching and waiting for the system, there was no response.
"I didn't see anything, brother," Nita replied, shaking her head.
Since there was no information, Lein decided to try using another exp bottle. Maybe level 50 wasn't the limit after all.
[Using (Tier 5 Exp Bottles), are you sure?]
"Yes"
[Failed, level cap reached. Please wait for the next update.]
"What? A level cap?" Lein said in surprise. He found it odd that the system mentioned level 50 as the maximum level. If that's the case, then how would they break through to the levels comparable to Nascent Soul cultivators?
"Could it be that the next levels will unlock after the upcoming inter-racial war event?" Lein wondered to himself.
It made sense, but it was still uncertain.
"Never mind, no need to worry about it for now," Lein muttered quietly. He felt foolish trying to guess what the system would do next.
"Nita, get ready. We'll depart at 1 o'clock," Lein said to Nita, who was busy chatting on her phone.
"Roger that, brother. I'm going to meet with Sister Laras."
After saying that, Nita stood up from her seat and ran toward the town hall to change her clothes.
"This girl," Lein said, shaking his head with a smile.
Seeing Nita run off happily, Lein smiled warmly. He felt a deep sense of joy because of her. Lein recalled how, back on Earth, his sister had spent her time accompanying him as he sold fried snacks along the city's streets.
Because of this, Nita had little time to play or socialize with kids her age. It could be said that Nita's childhood wasn't particularly happy, even bordering on miserable.
Seeing her now, Lein was both happy and proud. Nita had made many friends, was respected by others, and could live safely on her own island.
"Yosh... that's why we need to keep getting stronger; otherwise, the previous situation might happen again," Lein said with determination.
He then stood up from his seat, checking the time on his phone. It was 11 a.m., so there were still two hours before they would leave for the Guandu Realm.
"Taking a walk around the city sounds interesting," Lein muttered to himself.
With that, he started walking towards the garden, intending to get his car and drive around the city.
