On this day, Du You opened his eyes, the Spiritual Fruit in his hand turning into fragments, the last bit dissipating into nothingness.
Du You smiled faintly, feeling like he accomplished a lot during this time. His basic skill, Spiritual Lock, had ascended a level, reaching the height of level 9. Just one more level and it would be maxed out.
Du You knew how difficult it was to level up this skill. If it hadn't been for the help of the Spiritual Fruit, it might have taken him another couple of years to reach level 9. To max it out would require both talent and opportunity.
Now, after leveling up to 9, Du You felt that his Spiritual Lock had improved greatly. He didn't know how far he was from maxing it out, but he was aware that his Spiritual Lock was much stronger than the average level 9 user.
Regrettably, this advancement wasn't reflected in the range of his absolute control field - it was still confined to a mere nine meters.
