Time flew, and September arrived in the blink of an eye.
More than half a month had passed since they left the village, and they had been at the Main Camp in the Land of Rain for ten days or so.
During that time, Yechen had carried out one patrol mission without incident. After several setbacks, the Rock Ninja were probably feeling the strain and would not make any major moves in the near future.
Thus, he spent his days either patrolling or training.
In ten days, he exhausted all his evolution points.
This time, he had not spent them all on his base attributes.
Instead, he first upgraded his two major talents to level 2.
Level 2 Amaterasu could release two blooms of black flame. This was far more than a simple matter of one plus one; its power had increased severalfold, though its energy consumption was also high.
At level 2, Space Compression's range expanded to two meters, and its power tripled.
Seeing the notifications, Yechen felt that his gamble had paid off. Upgrading his talents had significantly improved his combat strength.
The Blood-Binding Demon-Eater Barrier had put some pressure on Yechen last time, prompting him to consider upgrading his talents. He had not expected such a massive improvement.
Amaterasu's multiplied power went without saying, but Space Compression had actually become three times as powerful.
In other words, he could unleash three times his base combat strength. Even if that did not put him at Kage level, he would not be far off.
Had he possessed enough evolution points, he would have upgraded Space Compression even further.
