However before that he had to get used to the Vigor, it had to be flexible, this is what he has been doing for the past two days since he cleared the first floor of the dungeon.

Since he returned to his room he simply trained, by night he could feel that he had enough confidence to move the Vigor around his body without any obstructions.

The Vigor moved as a whole from his chest to his right arm, then to the left, he repeated that action for both of his legs.

With that done, he returned the Vigor to his chest and then split it to two parts and channeled it to both his arms at once, then to his legs. Finally he channeled it to all four limbs at the same time.

Esdras was sweating slightly, the amount of concentration and willpower needed to do this and maintain it was not simple.

He checked the system and realized that he leveled up his Vigor knight class to level two, but he didn’t get any stat or skill points because he did it naturally, not using the system.

Seeing this, he decided to use the system to level up one more time, he could probably do it on his own in two to three days but he wanted the stat and skill points, as they made his progress much easier.

He had a decent amount of EXP stored, its not like he was short on it right now.

He needed to get stronger to clear the entire dungeon as soon as possible. He needed to speed up his advancements, to get more EXP he needed to spend EXP.

To that end he will it in his mind and saw his level rise, within him, he felt the Vigor vibrating and it unexpectedly was absorbed by his internal organs.

His heart, liver, kidney and so on. Esdras went into a trance, he felt sleepy so he went over to the bed and covered himself before falling asleep.

He could not feel his organs expand and contract, for a long time.

After that his Vigor moved out of his internal organs and was absorbed by his bones all over his body, undergoing the same process. Next it was his muscles, veins and skin.

The night passed and morning came. Esdras woke up from his sleep by the knocking on his door.

“Lord mage, are you in need of some bath water?”

“Yes, come on in.”

The servants came carrying a heated water and dumped it in the tube in his room.

Esdras looked at his body in surprise, he wasn’t sticky and his clothes weren’t ruined by the impurities extracted from his body.

No impurities were extracted, there was no foul smell.

‘Well, that turned out to be a lie.’

Wait, maybe he wasn’t at the right level. Someday he will meditate and extract all the ‘impurities!’.

He observed his body and notice that his skin got much clearer and his body felt great, it was good before but now it felt like he was a superhuman.

However something strange happened in this level up, he only got two skill points, and only two stat points.

He still didn’t figure out how the system level ups worked, at least not completely. It seems like his rewards diminished the higher his level was.

He relaxed in the bathtub and checked his stats, they didn’t change at all. However despite that he felt like he still improved by several steps, not everything was represented by the system.

Speaking of which, he got a notification in the skill page, opening it he got two new passive skills.

The first skill was called [Veteran’s hunch Lv.1]: as a seasoned warrior, you developed a keen sense of danger and can predict the flow of battles and aim for weak spots.

After reading the description Esdras wanted to scratch his head, since when was he a ‘seasoned warrior’? Well, it’s not like he was complaining.

It seemed like a very practical skill, that could be very helpful in the upcoming battles.

The last one was called [Vitality Lv.1]: you have acquired a powerful life force, what is fatal to others might not be so to you. You can also heal minor internal wounds using Vigor.

This one was definitely a powerful skill, moreover it was a passive skill! Esdras was no longer aggrieved about not getting three stat points after all.

It was because of the two new passive skills that he felt so good despite not increasing any of his basic stats during the level up.

With that being said, Esdras invested the two skill points he had on his [Third eye Lv.1] and on [Vitality Lv.1] bringing both to level 2.

With this he could probably see the stats and skills of True mages along with a greater amount of information from appraising items. Vitality of course helped him survive, investing in it was never wrong.

After breakfast with the three other apprentices who refused to talk to him, he heard a commotion at the gate.

“They returned huh.” Esdras muttered.

“Robert is back!” Tara cheered and looking around quickly distanced herself from Bran, who in turn opened his mouth in bewilderment.

“Now, we’ll see just how big you’ve gotten.” Tara glared venomously at him and sneered.

“Suit yourself.” Esdras smirked, he wasn’t afraid of any apprentice any longer, if Robert actually attempted to attack him openly he would be doing Esdras a huge favor.

The door was opened roughly, but it wasn’t Robert that entered but Celine. Wearing her long purple robes that couldn’t conceal her curves, her amber eyes looked around, searching.

“You, guys Esdras was part of your team, where is he?” She looked at the group of four eating breakfast.
