CONNECT!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he discovered he wasn’t able to connect to both amulets simultaneously—apparently, there was a limitation preventing dual binding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One active at a time. Fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wore the bound amulet around his neck and kept the second one positioned immediately next to him as backup emergency insurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now I have two lifelines plus a three-second time reversal option if needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confidence surged through him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m as prepared as I can reasonably be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nearly-Archon-rank core materialized fully—an enormous sphere approximately two feet in diameter, pulsing with condensed power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>GLOW! PULSE! THRUM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon didn’t hesitate any longer. He initiated the absorption process, his mana making contact with the core’s surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>TOUCH! CONNECT! FLOW!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, intense, overwhelming energy started flooding violently into his body like a broken dam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire form took on a bright purplish-red-green hue, corresponding directly to the three primary elements the hydra had possessed: poison, fire, and Life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>GLOW! SHIMMER! PULSE!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon immediately tried controlling the flow rate at which the energy was entering his body—attempting to moderate and manage the influx.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slow down! Too fast!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feeling was euphoric but dangerously intense, with absolutely no sense of naturally slowing or stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>RUSH! FLOOD! OVERWHELM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first level-up message appeared before his eyes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[LEVEL UP! You are now Level 20!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon felt the dramatic increase in his overall strength—muscles, bones, mana pathways all simultaneously reinforcing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes! But it’s not stopping—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t pause like hitting a barrier. Instead, it continued smoothly, almost like melting through butter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After only a few seconds without additional messages, another notification appeared:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[LEVEL UP! You are now Level 21!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the messages began bombarding him continuously, the euphoria filling his entire being with overwhelming sensation:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[LEVEL UP! You are now Level 22! [LEVEL UP! You are now Level 23!] [LEVEL UP! You are now Level 24!] [LEVEL UP! You are now Level 25!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Non-stop advancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The level-up notifications weren’t the only changes. He was physically feeling his strength exploding exponentially—his stamina capacity, his maximum mana pool, his mental processing speed, and his intelligence stat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I feel like I can do anything! This power is incredible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt absolutely amazing—addictive, even.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until suddenly the advancement messages stopped—but the bright multi-colored hue covering his entire body didn’t fade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What? Why did it stop?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His core was still actively absorbing massive amounts of energy. The monster core itself was nowhere near depleted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon felt something building dangerously—not just internally, but externally as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>RUMBLE! CRACK! DARKEN!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up in the red sky above him, massive storm clouds were rapidly forming from nothing, crackling with supernatural lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tribulation. The breakthrough tribulation to the Ascendant rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly opened his status screen interface and glanced at his current level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Level 30 - Master Rank]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One level away from officially becoming Ascendant. This is the threshold test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon knew instinctively he absolutely couldn’t release his Holy energy right now—it would catastrophically interfere with the elemental mana he was currently absorbing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No idea what would happen if I mixed divine and elemental energy during tribulation. Probably nothing good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, he could distinctly feel there was at least a twenty-five percent base increase in his fundamental physical strength compared to before this absorption began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that’s without any enhancement techniques active.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He examined his status screen more carefully. The hollow star symbol representing his stats progression was approximately half-filled now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon prepared himself for the incoming ordeal with absolutely everything available to him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every Aura he possessed wrapped defensively around his body in layered shields—Ice Aura, Earth Aura, Wind Aura, and every other Aura he had all at maximum intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>LAYER! SHIELD! PROTECT!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every defensive skill and technique he’d learned deployed simultaneously—barriers, wards, damage reduction passives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every physical enhancement he could activate was engaged—toughened skin, reinforced bones, accelerated healing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maximum defense. Whatever’s coming, I’ll endure it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This preparation wait wasn’t long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK! BOOM! DESCEND!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first tribulation lightning bolt descended with a resounding, earth-shaking sound, striking directly onto his position with pinpoint accuracy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>STRIKE! IMPACT! PENETRATE!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this entire dramatic scene was being carefully watched by two powerful individuals hovering distantly up in the sky—Archon Vyrra and Korvek, observing from a safe distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Archon Vyrra was smiling gleefully, her expression one of pure delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She commented to Korvek beside her:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you still not believe your daughter is extraordinarily lucky to have caught his attention?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response, only heavy silence came from the Vice Chief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He can’t deny it anymore, not after witnessing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Archon Vyrra continued with genuine excitement, not even looking for Korvek’s actual response:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A new Archon is about to be born! How thrilling!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>----\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lightning landed as if it had completely bypassed and passed through every single defense Leon had carefully prepared—shields, barriers, Auras—all utterly ignored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PENETRATE! STRIKE! IMPACT!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It connected directly with Leon’s actual body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Urrrghhh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The defensive shields of earth and ice constructs—everything was completely disregarded by the tribulation lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell?! My defenses did absolutely nothing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain was significant but manageable—nothing he fundamentally couldn’t endure with his enhanced pain tolerance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But my defenses not working at all is outrageous! How is anyone supposed to defend against this?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as the initial pain receded, Leon felt profound changes happening throughout his entire being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait. The lightning—while painful—is actually helping me become stronger. Changing me from within at a fundamental level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tribulation lightning was fundamentally different from a normal attack. It was painful, yes, but simultaneously beneficial—refining and tempering rather than purely destroying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s reconstructing my body. Making it better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding this mechanism, Leon deliberately removed all his layered defenses—they weren’t providing any protection anyway, and this tribulation energy needed direct contact to properly temper him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No point wasting mana maintaining useless shields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second thunderbolt descended directly onto his now-undefended body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK! STRIKE! BURN!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Urrrgghhh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain intensified, but after it passed, he distinctly felt measurable improvement in his fundamental constitution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stronger. More refined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the third bolt struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM! IMPACT!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Same pattern—intense pain followed by tangible advancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, an additional message appeared before him in the form of a golden transparent system screen:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Do you wish to continue the tribulation to the second stage, or end the advancement here?]\u003C\u002Fp>",1050,"2026-05-30T12:44:03.551Z","2026-06-01T04:31:15.240Z",1,"novelbin.me","407bf64dd67f697fe2953bf26a830834c7b1d8ec42596bec901eed970fe31da2","sss-ranked-awakening-all-my-skills-are-at-level--chapter-387","sss-ranked-awakening-all-my-skills-are-at-level--chapter-385",427,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsss-ranked-awakening-all-my-skills-are-at-level--cover.jpg"]
