章 105: Forbidden Skill

Yale didn't have any more questions to ask, and he wanted to return to his room to use the Origin Orb, so he decided to leave.

"Then, I will take my leave. Remember that this conversation should be a secret between us."

Tar nodded. He understood that Yale was still too weak to have his identity as a reincarnated expert to be revealed.

"Don't worry. I swear that I won't tell this secret to anyone. If you need something else from me, just use the badge and contact me at any time."

Yale smiled, thinking that Tar was really a good fellow.

"Thank you, Tar."

With those words, Yale left the room and went back to the teleportation portal, with the new identification badge, he could move freely for all the association headquarters without problems.

Yale returned to the Frost Wolf Company's main building, but no one was there. Oscro was busy checking all the new properties of the company, and Julie was doing the same with the half she had obtained.

Seeing that he was alone, Yale decided to go to his room and use the Origin Orb.

Yale sat and started putting his Origin Qi inside the Origin Orb, but at that time, something unexpected happened.

The Origin Orb started to melt and then fused with Yale's body by its own initiative.

The melted orb started to move by his veins, Yale felt that his body was about to explode and tried to use the Origin Qi to control the melted orb, but the Origin Qi only increased the speed the Origin Orb was moving.

Even with Pain Tolerance, Yale couldn't avoid screaming due to the pain. Luckily, Oscro and Julie weren't there to hear him, but Wyba was looking at him with worry in her eyes.

"Big bro..."

Wyba didn't talk a lot as she was still too young, but when Yale heard her worried voice, he forced himself to stop screaming and started suffering in silence. He didn't want to worry Wyba.

Two hours later, Yale was still in the midst of the process of absorbing the Origin Orb, he looked calm on the outside, but those two hours had been hell to him.

[The user upgraded the Passive Skill "Pain Tolerance" to Level 32.]

The Pain Tolerance had leveled up without stopping while Yale was in the process of absorbing the Origin Orb.

Turning the body more compatible with the Origin Path was extremely painful, Yale had only managed to support it without falling unconscious thanks to Pain Tolerance and his resolution to not worry Wyba.

In fact, if he had simply lost his consciousness, the body would still complete the absorption, and he would have avoided feeling any pain.

Sadly, Yale didn't know about that, so he used all his effort to support the pain, and in exchange, the level of Pain Tolerance increased greatly.

[The user fused correctly with the Origin Orb. The body's compatibility with the Origin Path has increased.]

[Increased Origin Point Recovery Speed to one per minute.]

[Origin Qi strengthened. Origin Points and stats increased.]

[The user advanced to the Origin Level 8.]

[Origin Skills cost halved, and their strength doubled.]

[Cost of Origin Points decreased a bit for all the skills.]

[The Origin Orb contained the Forbidden Skill "Origin Link". The Forbidden Skill can only be used one time before it disappears.]

Yale sighed after the process of absorbing the Origin Orb finished, and the system listed the benefits he obtained, that was a torture, but the benefits were great.

Yale went to check his current stats as he wasn't sure exactly how much the Origin Orb improved his body. He only knew that he had reached the 8-star Mortal Rank.

[Name: Yale| Age: 11| Origin Level: 8| Origin Points: 78/78]

Yale didn't expect that besides reaching the 8-star, he would be almost at the 9-star. After all, he had just advanced to the 7-star a few days before.

However, the best part was still in his Origin Point Recovery Speed, regenerating one per minute was far better than one in five minutes, Yale wouldn't need to rely on so many pills in long battles.

As for the improvement in the skills, Water Battle Armor as his only Origin Skill had the best growth, but all the other skills had also decreased their cost a bit. That was especially useful in costly healing spells.

Basic healing decreased to five Origin Points on each use, while Time Healing to eight Origin Points per second.

Finally, after having checked the changes on his other skills, Yale went to check that one-use Forbidden Skill that he had just obtained from the Origin Orb.

[Origin Link: Temporally allows the caster to use the power stored inside the Origin Orb. Using this skill go against the laws of the world. The skill can be used consciously, but it will be automatically activated just before the real death of the body, even without the user's consent. The skill will disappear after one use.]

Yale had a guess of what kind of power was stored inside, but he wanted to confirm it with the system.

"System, tell me information about the power stored inside the Origin Orb."

Yale didn't know if the system will reply or not, but if his guess was true, the system should have the information about that stored power.

[The stored power is from the user's previous life after receiving a huge injury in the soul.]

Yale smiled, it was just as he guessed, Origin Link would let him use for one time his previous life's power even if that went against the world laws.

That was the better trump card Yale could wish, even being able to use it only once, it could save his life if he met someone far more powerful than him.

Moreover, the fact it was automatically activated in front of a real death situation was also very valuable as his chances to be able to react before an expert attacked him were almost inexistent.

Yale understood why his previous life attached that much importance to the Origin Orb. It was far more valuable than the sword. After all, the biggest problem after reincarnation is the period of weakness before being able to become an expert again. An item that would let him use the power of his previous life, despite being just once, was something invaluable in his situation. The sword was also great, but his usefulness was limited due to Yale's lack of power and his almost inexistent control of the Laws. Technically at Yale's level, controlling the Laws was impossible. Kids like him and Kermu that could control a bit in the Mortal Rank were strange talents.

The improvement in his body, his level, and his skills were also incredible, but compared with the Forbidden Skill, they lacked importance.

Yale looked at Wyba who had been worried by him the entire time, Yale felt that her power had also increased, but she still lacked a bit of breakthrough, it wasn't a problem with her bloodline, it was because she was too young, she needed to grow up a bit more and would advance naturally.

Yale spent all the time until the next day practicing to control his Origin Qi. It had changed due to the Origin Orb, it was smoother to use it, and Yale wanted to be able to use it at its full potential.

In his practice, Yale discovered that it wasn't only capable of using skills easier than before, but the skills also improved faster.

He had used Spark to practice as it was a spell that wouldn't provoke any incidents as it only covered his hand unless he wished otherwise. In his short time of practice, Spark had leveled up until the eighth level.

Spark was the first spell he learned, but it was difficult to level up due to being a lightning element spell. However, after absorbing the Origin Orb, the skill turned easier to level up. That was a great surprise to Yale.

When Yale left his room, he found that Julie wasn't in the building, and Oscro was extremely busy, although Yale and Wyba weren't there. The business of the Frost Wolf Company had changed entirely, and that was thanks to the rewards of the challenge on the previous day.

The Frost Wolf Company turned into the company who had needed less time to reach the gold rank, and although the spectators hadn't been able to hear Yale's conversation with the elder, they understood that the Silent Healer was quite a special figure to the association and not a random guy.

That day, Yale worked less than usual because the best smith from the Zuatania Merchant Association appeared to teach him just as Tar had promised to him.

However, in the five hours that Yale had spent healing others, his Basic Healing finally reached mastery, and the cost decreased to four Origin Points.

As Yale's control of the spells had increased, his show of magic smithing was also better than the usual, although the results were still mediocre.

However, thanks to the grandmaster's teaching, Yale felt that he was starting to improve quickly, even the spells he was using swiftly increased their level, all of them increased one level while practicing on the first day, mastering them would only be a matter of time as long he continued practicing magic smithing.
