Chapter 129: One of Humanity's Barriers
Ed and the others teleported out of the ninth floor. Ed now had the mindset of coming back to the tower after dealing with the blood sect. His goal to take Mehen out of this tower. Ed opened his eyes on the tenth floor, only to see monsters surrounding him. He was in a similar situation before when he teleported to the second floor. Just as Ed and the others were about to fight, something astonishing happened.
*Ding*
Acquired 500.000 Exp.
Acquired Gacha ticketx2.
In that instant, an overwhelming amount of power burst out of Ed. Killing Mehen, although regrettable, allowed Ed to overcome one of the humans' barriers. Many people were stuck in Earth Establishment all of their lives. Even some of the Glory sect Elders were unlucky enough to be in such a category.
Nen, KI, and Haki. All three of his powers activated at the same time. Ed didn't have the chance to scan the monsters in front of him, but most of them were above Earth Establishment level 10. Yet, none of them remained conscious after Ed's power burst. Ed could truly feel why it was called Heavenly Establishment. Other than the ability to conquer the sky by flying, Ed could feel that he had stopped being a human altogether. His Ki, which he felt was similar to a gas always in a static state in his body, felt like liquid this time. A high-speed liquid that circulated around his body, providing every single one of his cells with power.
Obtained skill: Haki.
Ed noticed this before but he wasn't sure. Until now, he could use Armament and Observation Haki but he never got the skill for them. There was only one explanation he could come up with. 'I needed all three types of Haki.' Ed's Haki that was activated just now was actually his Conqueror's Haki. Along with his Nen and Ki, his display of spirit knocked out all the monsters that were present. Since he didn't activate it by will, even his companions were affected. But, as expected, they didn't faint.
"System, give me my stats." Ed wanted to see the change in his stats now that he had become a Heavenly Establishment cultivator.

Evaluation: Good.
Ed was very happy about the improvement. His had improved in a way that made the system actually give him a good evaluation. He could still remember the first ones such as 'you'll have a hard time' or 'you're still a noob'.
[Host your attention please.] Ed snapped out of his daze by the serious-sounding system. Actually, the system's voice didn't change at all. But, by being with him for so long, Ed could tell the system was going to say something important.
[The condition for the improvement of the system has been met since you broke through. In order to upgrade, I'll have to leave you for about a week. In this period, I won't respond to any of your questions. You can use the basic functions, but remember the Gacha is unusable]. The system told Ed the most important things. Ed knew that this was unavoidable so he simply nodded in agreement. The next instant, Ed felt as if he was missing something. The system was not there anymore.
'Let's see what I can use' Ed scanned himself once more. He always relied on the system to use this function. The same interface appeared in front of him. Other than the Gacha function, Ed could confirm that everything else was functioning. Luckily, even the Map was working fine.
"We'll have to be careful for about a week. Let's try to study the floor for the meantime." Ed spoke to his companions as he looked around. The tenth floor expanded over the horizon as a plain. In fact, not only plains, even hills were seen in the distance. This way, Ed could even see some monsters directly without needing the Map. The floor looked like the countryside. Ed was even wondering if a monster village was going to be around.
"Let's kill them and leave." Ed looked towards the bunch of monsters next to him. They were a group of wolves that didn't look much different than the ones Ed killed in the forest near his home. That is except their cultivation. Although they were unconscious, Ed still killed them. It would be a stupid idea to let precious experience points slip by this easily. Especially for a reason like 'the opponent was not ready'.
Acquired Gacha ticket.
Ed was startled by the sound. It was the sound that he heard almost every day, but it managed to scare him today. Ed thought that since the system was gone, even the notifications would be. However, it turned out that they were still functioning. 'Don't tell me. He lazes around and only reacts when I speak to him?' Ed thought that since the notifications were automatic, the system would be on hold all day. Ed shrugged his shoulders and checked his Inventory. He now had five Gacha tickets. Two were left over from the scorpion hunt, two from Mehen, and one from the wolves.
'I should gather as much Gacha as I can,' Ed thought that since the system told him he would be upgrading the functions, which meant the Gacha as well. This was also the case in games where they used Gacha draws. Ed actually didn't start hunting. Instead, he created a dimension and entered. Right now, he felt like he could keep it up for as long one whole day. But he decided not to overdo it until the system comes back. All of them ate and rested. Since the system wasn't around to let Ed know that time was used up, Ed relied on his biological clock. He woke up exactly after eight hours. Undoing the dimension, he and his group got out of the dimension.
"Hey, you!" After walking for about an hour, Ed was stopped by a voice calling towards him.
