Even if he stacked his four main attributes to tens of thousands, if his Rank was still Zero Order, when encountering a First Order Awakener, he would be partially suppressed. The greater the difference in Rank, the more severe the suppression. If there was a difference of Ten-rank, he would be completely suppressed, and stacking a hundred million attributes would be useless.
Noah had seen the benefits of higher Rank, and in the future, if he could advance, he would absolutely not delay.
"Rank Suppression is an all-round suppression against lower-Rank individuals, not just attributes, skills will also be weakened, unless the skill quality is higher, in which case it will not be affected."
Of course, currently Noah definitely didn't have skills higher than his own Rank, and Rank Suppression would also increase with Rank, but what about the future…
People always need to have dreams.
Pulling back his slightly wandering thoughts, Noah looked at the title. Like Rank Suppression, this was also something new.
[Pioneer]
[Type: Title]
[A reward for Awakeners who are brave in pioneering and full of striving spirit. All attributes +3%]
[Note: The increased attributes are true attributes and are not suppressed by any skills, Talents, or other means.]
"This…"
Noah's eyes widened sharply.
He had originally been a little indifferent to this title, but now he realized how wrong he was.
"True attributes, not suppressed by any means."
What did this mean? It meant that even when facing an existence ten Ranks higher than himself, he could still use 3% of his attributes, rather than being a powerless speck of dust.
3% might not seem like much, but it was incredibly valuable true attribute.
"From now on, I must do my best to get the first clear of future Advancement Instances."
Noah immediately made up his mind.
Noah looked at the remaining three rewards.
[Scarlet Blood Heavy Axe]
[Quality: Fine]
[Type: Weapon]
[The heavy axe passed down through generations of the Blood Hoof Tribe. It is mottled and ancient, as if recounting the history of the tribe.]
"Rune's weapon was dropped," Noah's expression was strange.
Noah wasn't very interested in this giant axe. He didn't have axe mastery, so this thing in his hands was far inferior to his two-handed greatsword.
He skipped it.
[Scarlet Blood of the Wild Bull]
[Quality: Ordinary]
[Type: Passive Skill]
[Your physique has become exceptionally strong. Strength +20, Agility +10, Constitution +30]
"This bonus is just average," Noah was a little dismissive.
Even if it doubled after reaching max level, it would only be 40 Strength, 20 Agility, and 60 Constitution. Others might cherish it, but in Noah's eyes, it held little appeal.
After thinking for a moment, Noah decided to put it aside for now.
While the bonus from Scarlet Blood of the Wild Bull wasn't impressive, he still highly regarded its passive ability to add attributes.
Noah was planning ahead.
The attribute limit for Zero Order was 100, for First Order it was 1000, and for Tier 2 it might be 10000, but the rate at which his Talent made him stronger couldn't keep up with the increase in Rank strength.
Noah's Talent allowed him to reach the Zero Order limit in less than half a day, and First Order only required a little over a day, but what about Three-order, Five-Order expert?
Relying solely on his Talent, his speed of getting stronger would inevitably be slowed down, which Noah couldn't tolerate.
If he could learn some passive skills that added attributes, the two combined, even if they couldn't keep up with the Rank strength, could still narrow the gap considerably.
However, Noah didn't think highly of Scarlet Blood of the Wild Bull, and his skill slots were limited, so he definitely couldn't learn skills casually.
The reason he put it aside instead of selling or exchanging it was because Noah wanted to conduct an experiment.
His Talent was EX-Grade.
His Talent alone could level up a skill to level 10.
What about after level 10? Could it break through the limit?
If it could, then this Scarlet Blood of the Wild Bull would be useful, otherwise, it could only be sold.
"There's one last one. What category is 'Special'?"
Turning his gaze to the last reward, Noah couldn't help but gasp when he saw its attributes.
"There's something like this…"
[Spiritual Rice Root Seedling]
[Quality: Ordinary]
[Type: Grain Seed, Special Item]
[Can grow into Spiritual Rice Roots in harsh environments, the staple food of Orcs. Long-term consumption can slowly increase Constitution, up to a maximum of 10 points of Constitution.]
The Ordinary quality was undoubtedly the least impressive among the many rewards.
Its effect also didn't concern Noah; what was 10 points of Constitution, let alone requiring long-term consumption?
But Noah immediately realized its preciousness.
Not for top Awakeners with high attributes like them, but for Ordinary people, most of whom had E and F-grade Talents. For them, 10 points of Constitution was no small number.
Looking further, since there was food that increased Constitution, there must also be food that increased Strength, Agility, and Spirit.
This meant a massive increase in the attributes of the entire population, making clearing Trial Instances no longer just a dream.
"I was wondering how these Beastmen rose up in the bitter cold lands. So that's it. The Wu Han Root definitely played a significant role."
To establish a Beastmen Empire, the number of Beastmen couldn't be small. The 10 points of Constitution added by the Wu Han Root allowed more Beastmen to survive and slowly grow under the neglect of the Elven Empire and Human Empire, gradually forming a major force.
"Noah."
Seeing that Noah had finished sorting his gains, Claire, who had long since rushed over, quickly approached, her face filled with deep shock: "This Rank Suppression is so powerful, and the Title is even more outrageous..."
As a member of the first clear team, she also received a Title.
