Chapter 191 190: Invincible
?
A deep cycle of inhalation and exhalation occurred as Corey sat in the same position for an unknown amount of time.
With every inhalation and exhalation Corey performed, the air around him changed.
Sometimes, it became hotter. Sometimes it became smooth and heavy. Sometimes a crackle could be heard from the air around Corey with short appearances of electricity. There were times the air became extremely hot, slightly heavy, and slightly acrid smell. The acrid smell contained a hint of toxicity.
From the extremely not and acrid air, the air changed once again as Corey inhaled and exhaled. The gravity around him increased by a slight amount putting a slight strain on the bed beneath Corey.
From an increase in gravity to the temperature decreasing to the point where a fleeting misty cloud was released from Corey's lips. From the extremely low temperature, the air around Corey became sharp. Numerous minute cuts appeared on the bed Corey was sitting on and the floor around the bed, but despite the air becoming strangely sharp, not a single cut could be seen on Corey's body.
Corey inhaled then exhaled once again and just as he did,
Crack Crack
Two cracks resounded in the room as two differently colored elemental stones which were in Corey's hands, broke. The two stones which previously had a light green color and a colorless but bright color, now looked dull.
As the two elemental stones cracked, Corey dropped the two elemental stones without opening his eyes. A focused and slight furrow of his brows could be seen on his face due to the changes that were occurring on and in his body.
Two symbols formed on two different parts of his body. On the left side of his chest was an image of a large green tree in a light green circle. And on his right calf was an image of a tornado in a colorless circle.
Asides from these two newly formed symbols, there were other symbols on Corey's body.
On his forehead was a symbol of a flame in a red circle.
On the right side of his chest was a symbol of a rising wave in a deep blue circle.
On the left side of his chest was a symbol of a large green tree in a light green circle.
On the right side of his back was a symbol of an erupting volcano with flowing magma around it. The image of the volcano and magma was at the center of a deep brownish-red circle.
On the left side of his back was an image of a frozen sea with numerous icebergs atop the sea. The image of the frozen sea and icebergs was at the center of a light blue circle.
On his right bicep was a symbol of a deep brownish mountain in a brown circle.
On his left bicep was a symbol of a golden axe and spear which were crossed against each other in a golden circle.
On his right calf was a symbol of a tornado in a colorless circle.
And on his left calf was a symbol of a lightning bolt in a white circle.
All these symbols pulsed with a bright glow and a few seconds later, another change occurred to Corey's body.
Four silver lines appeared from the flame symbol on Corey's forehead. Two lines moved to the two symbols on Corey's chest and the other two moved to the two symbols on Corey's back.
The four lines connected with the four symbols and as soon as they did, a brighter glow was emitted from the four elemental symbols and the flame symbol.
A few seconds later, two silver lines appeared from each of the four symbols. A line from each of the elemental symbols moved towards the two symbols on Corey's biceps and as soon as the four lines connected to the earth and metal elemental symbols, the two symbols emitted a brighter glow.
Meanwhile, the other four lines from the first four elemental symbols moved toward the two elemental symbols on Corey's calves.
The four lines connected to the wind and lightning elemental symbols and just like the previous symbols, the two elemental symbols emitted a brighter glow.
A few seconds later, the pressure around Corey increased and the wind around Corey became turbulent. Five lines emerged from the two elemental symbols on Corey's biceps and the lines moved towards Corey's fingers.
Another set of lines appeared from the elemental symbols and the silver lines joined to the elemental symbols on Corey's chest.
Similar to the newly formed silver lines from the elemental symbols on Corey's back. A new set of silver lines also formed from the elemental symbols on Corey's calves.
Five silver lines formed from the two elemental symbols then they moved to Corey's toes.
As soon as all the silver lines formed on Corey's body, the lines pulsed with a glow. Some moments later, the silver lines and the nine elemental symbols gradually dispersed.
"Fuuu."
Corey exhaled and the pressure emanating from him vanished. His eyes opened and with an emotionless gaze, he looked around before looking at his arms which felt more powerful than ever before.
He clenched his fist and popping sounds reverberated in the room as he did. Although he knew he had become much stronger, he was not sure just how much stronger he had become.
So to know just how much stronger he was, he willed for his status window to open.

"…"
"What the?"
A stunned expression appeared all over Corey's face as he gazed at the changes on his status screen.
His strength increased from Orange star to Green Star. Increasing by a whole two realms!
His agility increased from Orange Star to Green Star. Another increase by a whole two realms.
His constitution increased from yellow star to Blue Star! Another increase by a whole two realms.
His intelligence increased from Green Star to Blue Star. Although the increase was only by a single realm. Corey was still surprised by the increase.
His endurance increased from Orange Star to Green Star. Also increasing by a whole two levels!
"I… did not expect this at all."
Despite seeing the increase in his stats, Corey still had an expression of disbelief, and his reaction was due to a single reason.
Racial limitations
One of the things Corey learned from his recorded books was the stat limitation of normal humans.
Due to the inherent weakness of normal humans, 99.9999…% of all normal humans had a stat limit that they could not surpass unless through some extraordinary help. For example, the old man gave Corey a valuable pill that would be fought upon by quite a lot of forces.
There are seven realms for every attribute: Red Star, Orange Star, Yellow Star, Green Star, Blue Star, Indigo Star, and Violet Star.
When the stat of any attribute, whether strength, agility, constitution, etc, reaches the yellow star realm, a normal human has reached his or her limit. He or she has achieved stat maximization.
When Corey checked his stats after becoming a tier 1, his stats were:
------
Strength: Orange Star [50%]
Agility: Orange Star [50%]
Dexterity: Orange Star [50%]
Constitution: Yellow Star [70%]
Intelligence: Green Star [50%]
Endurance: Orange Star [50%]
Astral Mana: Blue Star [25%]
Free A.P: 0%
-----
Corey wasn't aware of just how absurd his stats were compared to that of a normal human. His constitution was already at the stat limit of normal humans, not to talk of his intelligence and mana which had already surpassed the stat limit of normal humans.
Although his other stats were not at the stat limit, they were stats a newly ascended tier 1 human should not have.
But now:
----
Strength: Orange Star [50%] -> Green Star [50%]
Agility: Orange Star [83%] -> Green Star [10%]
Dexterity: Orange Star [61%] -> Yellow Star [95%]
Constitution: Yellow Star [70%] -> Blue Star [5%]
Intelligence: Green Star [50%] -> Blue Star [30%]
Endurance: Orange Star [50%] -> Green Star [70%]
Astral Mana: Blue Star [25%] -> Blue Star [90%]

No extra words needed to be spoken… except one sentence:
Amongst other normal tier 1 humans, he was invincible.
