Atticus’s Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground
chapter-562

There were numerous ways Atticus could go about increasing his will, but to do that, he would have to sacrifice a lot of training time, especially when it came to his other abilities.

It would be counterproductive, considering the fact that he also needed his other abilities to improve before the nexus.

'Let's see where I am first. Status,' Atticus thought, a holographic interface suddenly appearing in front of him.

Atticus carefully looked at his stats for a few moments, going through each change, attempting to figure out the reasons for the explosive growth.

The last time Atticus had checked his status was just a few days ago when he was trying out his exosuit for the first time. The suit had given him a significant power boost when he used it, but what he was currently looking at was his own passive stats without the exosuit.

It had been just a few days, but he had grown remarkably! His status had increased, and so had his element mastery! The elemental mimicry art even went up one sublevel.

It was an explosive change, one that Atticus couldn't help but be baffled by. Usually, his days of progress had always been so minuscule that he usually didn't bother checking his stats.

Seeing as everything was in order, Atticus focused on his will. Considering everything that had happened from the leaders' summit, Atticus could understand why it went up 5 points.

'There are two ways I can increase my will. The first is constantly depleting it and fighting the effects, but that'll take too much time and I won't be able to focus on other things during it. The second is going through challenges and overcoming them.' Atticus pondered.

The first option, to him, wasn't feasible, which is why Atticus was leaning in on the second. However, to achieve it, he would need challenges in the first place.

'I'll have to speak to Grandfather about this,' Atticus decided.

The next thing Atticus decided to look into was his katana. There was no doubt about it, Atticus needed to learn that third art before the nexus. This was a huge necessity.

However, Atticus had made a stupid mistake of thinking that his life weapon arts were completely dependent on his rank. He had assumed that it was only when he reached the master- rank that he would be able to learn the third art, but he had been wrong, well, not completely!

The fact that Ae'ark had done the same while still being in the Expert+ rank of strength spoke volumes.

Which meant that it wasn't dependent on rank, but on power! Atticus could recall Ae'ark transforming first before he could utilize it and he also remembered just how exhausted he had been after unleashing it. It required a great amount of power to unleash!

Not the one gotten from Aerokinesis or burst, but passive power.

Atticus hadn't reached that threshold yet, so he couldn't learn it.

But at the end of the day, Atticus felt like it was the advancement into the master- rank that could give him that boost. Regardless, it was good to know that it wasn't entirely dependent on rank.

'I have to reach the master- rank in a year,'

The number of things Atticus had to do was staggering, but this wasn't even everything.

The next thing Atticus focused on was his elements. Magnus had told him that it would be the next focus of their training.

If battle thrill could give him effortless battle strength, his will could make him utilize his exosuit, and his katana could give him incredible attacking power, Atticus's elements could unlock something else that was truly remarkable—a domain.

Gazing at his stats and seeing the huge jump in each of their proficiencies, Atticus was forced to believe that their advancements were also heavily dependent on comprehension.

It wasn't only about immersion and practicing; Atticus would also have to comprehend the nature of each one of the elements. He had been getting it all wrong since!

He couldn't help but focus on his first four elements that he had awakened. They were already very close to reaching the next level.

'If the first three levels are for novice to master ranks, shouldn't level 4 be for grandmasters then?' Atticus speculated.

When Sirius had first explained the levels of their bloodline to him, he had stopped at level 3. Given the fact that there were 5 levels in total, Atticus was forced to believe that the 5th level was for paragons, which leaves the 4th for grandmasters.

'I should confirm this first, but if it is true, it would mean that I'm close to reaching a power that only grandmasters could use.'

'If I can use a domain, then my chances would increase significantly.'

Truly, what Atticus had to do within just one year was so much he doubted if it would be possible.

Regardless, he would still try his best.

Atticus pondered for a long while, trying to formulate his own personal training plan aside from Magnus's. He had no plans of taking breaks; when he wasn't training with Magnus, he would be training on his own.

After a while, Atticus stood up and went to check out any data that he could fight with.

He was excited to see Magnus's data and then he immediately chose Magnus at master+ rank. Magnus had truly been talented, the robot radiating an intense amount of pressure in the surrounding.

The battle was speedy, both their figures clashing relentlessly. Atticus attempted to feel the thrill of battle once more but it had been futile. It just didn't feel the same as when he was battling another living being.
