The matter of Levi advancing to Lv.5 did not cause any surprise to Eina or the high-level executives of The Guild behind her.
The Scorpio Antares of the Great Tree Sea was, after all, a Lv.7 God's Assassin. Even if the Hero King had killed it through a team challenge, do not forget that he had also fought a battle with Ottar before that and obtained victory.
With two Feats added together, no matter how one thinks about it, it was enough to level up.
Levi naturally could not correct The Guild executives' mistaken judgment; the fact that he could summon Pitch-black monsters was something that still needed to be concealed if possible.
That night, or to be precise, at midnight.
Accompanied by the passing of 30 days, the exchange store once again welcomed a stock refresh.
Because he had risen to Lv.5, the current Levi could purchase 25 Law Crystals every month. Coupled with having enough Valis Vouchers on hand, needless to say, he exchanged for all of them at the first opportunity.
[Law Crystals: 71 -> 96]
Next, he consumed one Law Crystal to exchange for a Card Pool Voucher.
After using it, accompanied by bursts of flickering light, the Naruto Card Pool successfully became a permanent card pool, while the new Event Card Pool was:
(Death God Card Pool, Image! Image! Image!)
[Event Card Pool: Death God Lv.1/Lv.2/Lv.3/Lv.4/Lv.5]

[3-Star (Lv.1, Unspecified, after specifying the corresponding item base UP rate +50%): Zanjutsu Skill Book, Hakuda Skill Book...] 1k / 10k
'After Naruto, is it Bleach...? The next one won't be One Piece, right?'
Levi complained in his heart, but his eyes became increasingly bright.
After simply skipping over the contents of the Lv.1 to Lv.4 card pools, his attention fixed directly on the 'Hōgyoku' in the Lv.5 card pool.
[Hōgyoku: 7-Star]
[Soul Equipment]
[Break limits; the higher the difficulty of the breakthrough, the more Mana is consumed, and the longer the cooldown time.]
As the saying goes, the fewer the words, the bigger the matter.
The Hōgyoku was obviously the best example.
In the story of Bleach, the great villain Aizen used the Hōgyoku to break the limits of a Death God, subsequently becoming a Transcender.
At the same time, the Death God side's Visored Corps and the Hollow side's Arrancar Corps could both be said to be products of the Hōgyoku.
And if the Hōgyoku were to appear in the DanMachi world, the things whose limits could be broken would be too numerous.
The upper limit of Ability Stats, Level, the Magic Slots restricted by Falna, the re-breakthrough of skills that reached full proficiency, the boundary between Man and God...
It could be said that as long as he pulled the Hōgyoku, he would subsequently step onto a smooth path in the true sense.
As for the matter of whether he could pull it...
Levi exhaled a breath of turbid air, forcibly suppressing his restless inner heart.
After two consecutive days of grinding monsters in the Colosseum on the 37th Floor, his Development Ability 'Luck' had already risen from Rank F to Rank E.
The number of draws for the card pool's small pity had further decreased to 65, and the base probability of outputting the designated UP item had also changed from the original +40% to +50%.
If everything went smoothly, by the time the exchange store updated next month, the Law Crystals on hand could reach 120, and Luck would also likely rise another 1 or 2 ranks.
At that time...
Levi curled up the corners of his mouth.
For the Lv.5 card pool that consumed Law Crystals, out of consideration for maximizing benefits, he needed to endure and not pull for the time being.
But for the card pools of Lv.4 and below, he did not plan to let them off.
The 'Skill Star-Up Card' obtained from previously killing the Pitch-black Udaeus was taken out from the Inventory. The chosen target, needless to say, was naturally 'High-Rank Mana Manipulation'.
(Skill Advancement, Image! Image!)
[Skill Catalog available to be used as Star-Up Materials for High-Rank Mana Manipulation:]
[DanMachi: Fox Sorcery-5 Star or Fairy Follow-5 Star or... -> Mana Control-6 Star]
[DanMachi: High-Speed Chanting-5 Star -> Super-Speed Chanting-6 Star]
[Genshin: Electro Element Operation-5 Star or Pyro Element Operation-5 Star or Ice Element Operation or... -> Electro/Ice/Pyro Element Control-6 Star]
[Naruto: Secret Chakra Refinement Technique-5 Star -> Chakra Control-6 Star]
[Type-Moon: Divine Words-5 Star -> High-Speed Divine Words-6 Star]
[Death God: Spirit Absorption-5 Star -> Reishi Control-6 Star]
[... (Other skills not lit up)]
Levi had now unlocked four permanent card pools and one event card pool; consequently, the upgrade directions for skills had also gradually become a hundred flowers blooming.
Among them, the most orthodox star-up route, needless to say, was naturally DanMachi's 'Mana Control'.
Similar to it were Naruto's 'Chakra Control' and Death God's 'Reishi Control'.
As for DanMachi's 'Super-Speed Chanting', Genshin's 'Element Control', or Type-Moon's 'High-Speed Divine Words', they were abandoned by Levi at the first instant.
Among the many Magics he currently mastered, only Goddesses' Loving Protection required incantations, yet it had not reached the point where he had to rely on chanting-type buff skills to release it.
Element Control was even less worth mentioning; it was available to pull in the card pool, so exchanging a Skill Star-Up Card for it was too unworthy.
As for 'Mana Control', 'Reishi Control', and 'Chakra Control'...
After pondering for a moment, Levi found Hestia and Hephaestus, who were currently 'lying dead'.
After hearing the effects of the three skills he retold, the two Goddesses exchanged a glance.
Then, they said in unison: "Choose 'Chakra Control'."
Hearing this, Levi raised an eyebrow: "I understand."
Such a reaction caused The Blue Ribbon to be slightly surprised, "You aren't asking for the reason?"
Levi smiled indifferently: "You are my lovers; you only hope for me to become better, so how could you possibly harm me?"
Hearing the youth's trusting reply, the two Goddesses could not help but reveal happy smiles.
If it weren't for the fact that they truly had no strength to fight again within a short time, perhaps they would have long ago joined hands to push down the person before them.
Even so, Hestia and Hephaestus still each planted a kiss on the left and right sides of Levi's face.
Then, because their movements were too large, they one after another clutched their old waists.
Levi raised his right hand and wrote a Primordial Rune symbolizing Healing in front of him. While restoring the two women's physical strength, he clicked open the character panel that only he could see.
Accompanied by the disappearance of 5 million Valis Vouchers, the 'Secret Chakra Refinement Technique Skill Book' was successfully obtained. After using it simultaneously with the 'Skill Star-Up Card':
(Chakra Control, Image! Image! Image!)
[High-Rank Mana Manipulation 5-Star (-) -> Chakra Control 6-Star (Proficiency 1%)]
[Obtained Development Ability 'Mage C']
[Mana nature changes from Mind to a fusion of Mind and Physical Energy]
[Can self-compile 4-Star Magic, or perform a certain degree of re-compilation on mastered Magic; Magic obtained through this method does not count towards Falna Magic Slots]
[Greatly reduces Mana consumption]
[Greatly increases the growth speed of Magic Proficiency]
Almost at the instant the skill completed its upgrade.
Inside Levi's body, only a boom was heard, and something changed.
The Mana that originally lingered in the brain the vast majority of the time seemed to break free from some kind of shackle at this moment. In less than half a minute, it dissipated into his limbs and bones.
Furthermore, after receiving the blessing of vitality, the total amount increased instantly by more than double.
Combined with the constantly active 'Spirit Healing' Development Ability, it actually caused the physical strength Levi consumed due to the 'great battle' with Hestia and Hephaestus to also begin recovering!
A glint flashed in Levi's eyes.
The reason he hadn't asked Hestia and Hephaestus why they chose 'Chakra Control' as the advancement direction earlier was, firstly, needless to say, naturally trust in his lovers.
As for the second, it stemmed from a saying he had seen online in his previous life.
—Cultivating Life but not Nature is the first illness of cultivation; Cultivating Nature but not Life, for ten thousand kalpas, a yin spirit will find it hard to enter sainthood.
The Mana of the DanMachi world is pure Mind, and Mind is often associated with the soul.
The situation with Reishi in the Death God world is also not much different.
Only the Chakra of the Naruto world is a fusion of spiritual energy and physical energy, and although situations where Spirit is high and Life is low, or Life is high and Spirit is low, may occur due to the different training directions of ninjas, generally speaking, it can still be maintained on a level line.
To put it even more bluntly, compared to DanMachi's Mana and Death God's Reishi, Naruto's Chakra is obviously higher in terms of potential and the upper limit that can be reached.
