Kieran looked at his points tab.

[Points: 100,000; Skill Points: 40; Golden Skill Points 6; Golden Attribute Points: 6]

A decent amount of Points and Skill Points and a considerable amount of Golden Skill Points and Golden Attribute Points.

Enough for him to upgrade his power to the next level since he had the unique [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Skill] as a base for his stats.

Now, he was hesitating about the remaining 1 Golden Skill Point after leveling [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Arts] from Pro to Grand Master that would him cost 45,000 Points and 5 Golden Skill Points.

Kieran has no intentions of keeping that single Golden Skill Point. Since a battle with a powerful opponent was inevitable, he should make use of every point and turn them into his strength instead of keeping it idle.

Kieran glanced over his various skills and eventually landed on Grand Master [Tracking].

Compared to the other skills, [Tracking] would be the most beneficial skill for the upcoming battle.

Although Kieran already had other solutions to locate Black Hell Banning, if he could form a backup plan in case his plans went south, he wouldn’t mind doing so.

[Tracking, Grand Master to Musou, cost 30,000 Points, 1 Golden Skill Points. Yes/No?]

"Yes!"

[Name: Tracking (Musou)]

[Related Attribute: Intuition]

[Remark: Not only you can clearly sense the special existence of other beings, you can also locate the traces they left behind!]

...

[Tracking leveled up, related attributes increasing...]

[Intuition: B- ? B]

...

The knowledge transfer and synchronization process started again.

Kieran savoured the small changes in his body while feeling awe as his Intuition increased.

Although before leveling [Tracking], he was doubtful about whether Intuition could be increased with the skill. He was holding the slightest hope on the skill, otherwise he wouldn’t level up [Tracking] first.

Though when the stats increased, he was still astonished.

"Is it because of Tracking is a special skill?" Kieran wondered.

Then he turned his attention to [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art].

Kieran didn’t level up the skill right away. After multiple times in leveling, his experience allowed him to make good use of every resources in each leveling session.

After adjusting his mood and condition, getting the best of his body, he opened the leveling option.

[Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art, Pro to Grand Master, cost 45,000 Points, 5 Golden Skill Points. Yes/No?]

"Yes!"

...

The warm stream flowed into Kieran’s body again. Without further delay, Kieran quickly practised [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art].

The practice was even longer than the previous practices it lasted around 15 minutes.

When Kieran opened his eyes again, the notification in his vision popped up right away.

[Through practicing, Grand Master Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art acquired significant experience, decrease leveling cost by 10,000 Points, 1 Golden Skill Point...]

[Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art, Grand Master to Musou, cost 90,000 Points, 9 Golden Skill Points. Yes/No?]

...

Kieran saw the notification before him and was stunned.

He was delighted about the successful decrease in cost with his training and at the same time was shocked as well towards the sudden surge of difficulty of leveling [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art] further.

After a while, he finally gathered his thoughts.

"As I thought, when I keep on leveling [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art], the difficulty will increase gradually. Just like Guntherson said, every stage of [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art] will provide a new difficulty until the skill itself had a qualitative change!"

Kieran couldn’t help but recalled the old knight stationed in the small hut in St. Paolo School.

He still remember Guntherson’s face when he mentioned those words.

It was filled with desolation and yearning.

He yearned for that state of the skill but couldn’t reach it himself, his heart was tormenting thus giving out such expressions.

Kieran sighed instantly, because he knew without the aid from the system, a normal person couldn’t reach such a high state of the skill. Grand Master and Musou level should be the limitation of where a common person could go, similar to the old knight.

Guntherson must be the chosen one among the many knights in the Church of Dawn, yet still he was trapped around Musou level of [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art]. In fact, when Kieran reached Grand Master of the skill, he had a general idea of how strong Guntherson would be.

"Which means, from Musou to Transcendence will have an even bigger gap to cross?"

Kieran muttered. He didn’t seem to be afraid about the sudden surge, what he has was the eagerness to challenge it.

Different from the old knight in the hut, having the system’s aid, Kieran could overcome the problem with enough Points and Skill Points, as far as requiring Golden Skill Point...

As long as he was given enough time, he could earn another day worth of points.

Just like his current power level, if he would to appear before Guntherson, whether [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art]’s level or his strength and capabilities would definitely leave him in awe.

After going through a couple dungeon worlds and accumulating strength through hardship, he was not the newbie that he used to be.

Even against an established scale army of troops, he would be fit to contend against them and not escape in an ugly posture like he did before.

If he would to return to the dungeon world of Guntherson, with his current strength and power, he might have the chance to turn the tides around. Though, the sad thing was, he didn’t acquired the special dungeon of that dungeon world.

"What a pity!"

Once Kieran thought about the benefits that a dungeon world with the tides changed and the many techniques from the old knight plus more knowledge about [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art], Kieran couldn’t help but shake his head in pity.

Though he quickly swept away his negative emotions.

The past had passed. He should be living in the present, not pitying the past.

Without any further hesitation, Kieran started to distribute his Golden Attribute Points again.

As for which stats, it was a no brainer.
