Ron obeyed, closing his eyes and channeling his Qi as the guide had instructed. He began to feel his energy expand, first within his body and then beyond it, slowly spreading out into the garden. He could feel the life force of the plants, the earth beneath him, the very air around him. Time seemed to slip away as he poured his energy into mastering this skill. The spiritual energy from the ginseng plants merged with his own, amplifying his awareness.
Hours passed, and Ron's body was drenched in sweat from the intense concentration. But as the sixth hour approached, something clicked. His energy stabilized, and a sensation of clarity washed over him. He could feel everything within a large radius around him—the plants, the stones, even the insects crawling on the ground. His senses had become sharper than ever before.
He opened his eyes, and the guide's approving voice rang in his ears. "You've done well, Ron. You've mastered detection."
Ron took a deep breath, feeling the newfound awareness settle into his mind. His intelligence stat had noticeably increased, and his mind felt sharper, clearer. This skill would be crucial for the challenges ahead, and he knew it. Now, armed with both the breakthrough in his cultivation and this powerful detection ability, Ron was more prepared than ever to ascend the tower and face whatever challenges awaited him.
It seems like Ron is being introduced to an advanced skill system within the tower, where skills can be combined and ranked to higher levels. The guide suggests that while Ron doesn't immediately need new skills, he can gather skill memories from hidden locations. These memories can later be synthesized into more powerful abilities through a process called skill synthesis, which essentially combines skills to create a higher-level one.
The skills are ranked in stages, starting from F, then progressing through E, D, C, B, and A, with even higher ranks like S, SS, SSS, and EX. There's also a unique, unattained rank known as UR, which no one has achieved yet.
Typically, skills evolve once they've been mastered (at 100%), but in Ron's case, the guide suggests he has enough strength to combine skills early on at the 10th floor, using a special tower altar to achieve a higher-ranked skill. This sounds like an important milestone in his journey where he'll gain access to much more powerful abilities by synthesizing the skills he's gathered so far.
It sounds like the guide is emphasizing just how vast the difference is between skill ranks, particularly when it comes to A, S, and the elusive UR rank. An A-rank skill, while powerful, pales in comparison to an S-rank skill, which represents a much higher level of mastery and impact.
The UR rank stands on a completely different level, likened to a God rank, with the potential to break the rules of nature. This suggests that UR skills possess the ability to transcend normal limitations, possibly allowing their users to alter the fabric of reality itself. It's no wonder this rank has never been achieved before—it's likely that even reaching it would require extraordinary strength, knowledge, and mastery over the skill synthesis system.
Since then Ron goal is to get a UR rank skill in the tower.
