[Congratulations to the host for becoming a Grandmaster Realm Cultivator]
[Congratulation to the host for attaining Master Rank in Soul cultivation]
[Congratulation to the host for unlocking Soul Astra Projection]
'Woah, did I see that right? Soul Astra Projection – sounds like some Doctor Strange magic. This is seriously awesome!' Rasoul, feeling a mix of excitement and wonder, hurriedly checked his stats after examining Lara's achievements. He wanted to go through all his newfound abilities before diving into the Tomb. Lara had become so powerful that her mere aura could knock out feeble master stage cultivators.
Rasoul, amazed and thrilled, couldn't help but think, 'This is like leveling up to superhero status! Can't wait to explore these new powers in the Tomb!'
[Soul Astra Projection]
>> The host is now capable of projecting all or part of their soul beyond the body, moving it within a 1 km radius.
>> The projected soul turns invisible and can seamlessly pass through solid objects.
>> With sufficient soul strength, the host can enter the soul realm, a dimension accessible only to departed souls.
[Note: The host is advised to exercise caution in utilizing this ability, as any minor mishap may lead to potential damage to the host's soul.]
"Well, this is gonna make heists a whole lot smoother," Rasoul exclaimed, unintentionally overlooking the lady sitting beside him.
"What did you just say?" Lara questioned, fixing a penetrating gaze on Rasoul.
"Oh, I just gained this cool ability to project my soul outside my body," Rasoul replied casually.
"And the first thing you think of is using it for a heist?" Lara raised her eyebrows in disbelief.
[That's my girl.]
[Somehow, the universe decided to make a goofball like you the Supreme one,] the system playfully teased Rasoul with a jab.
"Well, that's not the only thing I plan to use it for. I've got other ideas in mind," Rasoul attempted to salvage the situation, but the damage was already done. He then turned his attention to the next message.

[Congratulations to the Host, you can now absorb another bloodline.]
"Booyah, I can now absorb two more bloodlines. I'll save that for after the expedition. First, I need a clear understanding of my strengths and identify any weaknesses to work on. Facing Semi-Saints in battle will definitely provide the insights I'm looking for. I'll hold off on absorbing the bloodlines for now.
Only those under 90 years old, reaching the semi-saint level, will be granted entry into the Tomb. Rasoul was well aware that this decision would lead to plenty of trouble and challenging fights. Yet, he eagerly anticipated it.
He wanted to put his strength to the test, confront powerful adversaries face to face, and discover his areas of improvement. Although he had faced formidable opponents before, those encounters had always been in a controlled setting. Now, he craved the chance to go head-to-head with the absolute strongest and measure his own capabilities."

"This is fantastic! Finally, I can unleash my sword skills for maximum damage without relying too much on mage-like spells. The Luminous Surge ability is a game-changer. Just keep pounding the enemy, and my health points stay intact. Now, I gotta whip up a stamina ability using the empty scroll to complement it. This is just too good," Rasoul analyzed his newfound abilities with a satisfied grin. His happiness with the new skills was evident.
The timing of this new ability couldn't be better. Rasoul was on the verge of stepping into uncharted territory, and he needed every skill in his arsenal to survive. Little did anyone know, that inside the tomb, there lurked hundreds of thousands of dangerous beasts. The impending danger they were about to face would be unlike anything they had encountered before.
Unbeknownst to Rasoul, he was heading towards a place that would push him to his limits. Soon, he would discover the true essence of strength.

"Seems like you and Sabrat are way stronger than me. I guess I'll be relying on you two once we step into the tomb," Rasoul admitted to Lara after finishing checking the messages and their stats.
"Don't sweat it, Rasoul. We've got the system on our side. Those troublemakers are in for a rude awakening," Lara reassured him, her determination shining through.
[Looks like someone will remember me, even if you won't, Host.]
'How could I forget about my only system?' Rasoul cheekily replied to the system.
[So shameless. I'm heading back to sleep now. Carry on with your chat with your girl.]
'Whatever.'
"By the way, where's Sabrat?" Rasoul inquired again. Sabrat had been absent since he woke up from the cocoon, and there was no sign of his return.
"He went to gather supplies for our journey," Lara explained, but before she could say more, Sabrat's voice echoed from a distance.
"You're finally awake. Looks like somebody's in a good mood now. Next time, assure her you'll be fine before cocooning yourself. She cried for a whole day," Sabrat commented as he joined them.
Lara blushed slightly before retorting, "Who was worried? I was just concerned he might kick the bucket," she said, avoiding direct eye contact with Rasoul. Seizing the chance to tease her, Rasoul couldn't resist poking fun at her earlier distress.
"Oh, so someone shed a tear? I wonder how stunning a weeping goddess would look. Maybe I should cocoon myself more often," Rasoul teased.
But before it could go on further, Sabrat smoothly redirected the conversation, bringing a light smile to Lara's face. "I've gathered supplies for our trip. Did you guys know there's more to this place than what we saw last time? The fruits here are fantastic, and I encountered some remarkable beasts – all friendly, of course. We should explore the entire Ring when we get the chance."
"Can I check out those fruits?" Rasoul eagerly asked.
Sabrat swiftly produced three distinct fruits and handed them to Rasoul. The moment Rasoul touched them, a message popped up.
[Mystic Blisberry Spiritual Fruit - Rank: Purple]
>> It heals the soul of all injuries when consumed.
[Soul Berry - Rank Spiritual Fruit - Purple]
>> Heals and energizes the soul when consumed.
[Harmony Apple Spiritual Fruit - Rank: Gold]
>> Increases soul strength and boosts cultivation speed.
[Elixir Apple Spiritual Fruit - Rank: Gold]
>> Nourishes the soul and accelerates cultivation speed.
"Holy smoke. these are all spirit fruits. How many do you have?" Rasoul inquired.
"I grabbed only 20 of each. I was in a rush, so I didn't linger much," Sabrat replied, uncertain why Rasoul was asking. However, Rasoul pressed further.
"Are you saying there are more of these fruits out there in this ring?"
"Yes, there's about a 1 km garden full of these fruits and others," Sabrat replied with a carefree demeanor.
"Take me there now. I want to see it for myself," Rasoul demanded, and without hesitation, they set off in the direction of the mysterious garden.
After a while, they came to a garden, and Rasoul's jaw dropped. What lay before him had the potential to cause chaos on a universal scale. Various varieties of spiritual fruits adorned the garden. The only question echoing in his mind was, 'Who the heck created this Ringworld, and for what purpose?' One thing, however, was certain – he'd never have to worry about money ever again.
"Sabrat, Lara," Rasoul called them and then instructed them to consume 10 of each of the four fruits he had taken from Sabrat. He planned to examine the other fruits later.
"Once you're finished, make sure to gather 20 of each fruit that Sabrat brought back before we head out," Rasoul instructed.
Afterward, they left the Ringworld. It was time to meet the princess and then heard back to the capital for the tomb's opening.
