MTLNOVEL Chapter 200: [Thought Acceleration]
The pressure of the liquid spiritual energy forced his body to undergo further refinement, improving his physique and spirit attributes.
At that moment, Korrin's body surged with energy, and the faint red aura surrounding him erupted into a brilliant flame.
The intense heat and power radiating from him illuminated the area, causing the surrounding grass and trees to sway under the spiritual force.
With a deep breath, Korrin rose to his feet, his transformation complete. His aura pulsed with strong spiritual pressure that could intimidate even seasoned Tier 4 Professionals like Graal.
However, with practiced control, he quickly suppressed the pressure, allowing the area to return to calm.
Now fully transformed, Korrin stepped forward, his expression composed yet brimming with newfound strength. He respectfully bowed to Ram, awaiting his master's acknowledgment.
Ram glanced at Korrin's updated attribute panel, confirming the remarkable transformation:

Ram examined Korrin's updated attribute panel, and a satisfied smile formed on his lips. Compared to before, his current attributes have already surpassed those of professionals like Graal or Kain.
It was all possible due to the enhancement brought by his general quality together with raising his attributes to limit before upgrading to Tier 4.
He already has such monstrous as soon as he reached Tier 4, with his support and a further improvement in his quality in the future will make Korrin a force to reckon with, as one of his strongest subordinates.
"Not bad, Korrin," he said approvingly, his tone carrying genuine praise. "Hahaha... You've surpassed my expectations, and soon you will become even stronger."
Looking through the panel, Ram found that it's not just the attribute improvement, even his racial characteristics were improved to a certain degree, mostly his ability to summon using [Herd Summoning].
Korrin was now able to summon Tier 4 Half Drows, although it needed two thousand points of Source power every day, which was not a small amount even for him.
But soon he will be able to upgrade to Tier 4, then he can use his life energy to earn more source power to summon more Half Drows.
For now, he can still arrange a thousand points of source power every day enough to summon Tier 3 Half Drows.
Next, due to his upgrade the efficiency of his racial characteristic [Rapid Reproduction] was reduced by another 20 percent, remaining at 50% from the initial 100% when he was still a caveman.
Korrin bowed deeply; his voice steady but filled with respect. "Thank you, Master. It wouldn't have been possible without your help."
Ram waved dismissively, though he was inwardly pleased. "You earned it through your hard work."
Korrin nodded, determination flickering in his eyes. Following that Ram also found that Korrin awakened a new racial characteristic called [Thought Acceleration] and many other fire attribute-based inheritance skills.
Meanwhile, the other three Half-Drows were still immersed in their transformation process. Their progress was steady but slightly slower compared to Korrin's.
Ram directed his attention to them, his spiritual senses monitoring every fluctuation in their energy, noting any changes while preparing for his own upgrade soon.
As the minutes turned to hours, the pressure of liquid spiritual energy refined their bodies further. Gradually, their auras began to stabilize, the intense fluctuations calming down.
Once the process was over, the three stood before Ram, their expressions filled with gratitude and newfound resolve. Their attributes had also improved significantly, reflecting the benefits of their advancement to Tier 4.

[ Spirit: 177.9]

[Skills: Fire Affinity, Wood Affinity, Fire Ball, Wood Thorns, Wall of Flames, Flame Bomb, Firestorm...]
Compared to Korrin, even at the same level, they are only half as strong as Korrin.
However, when you compare them to human professionals, whether it's their attributes or skills, they are stronger than professionals with 'Rare' professions of the same level.
"Hehe..." Ram was very excited as he examined the attribute panel, contemplating Korrin's ability to summon more Tier 4 half-Drows with the same strength each day.
Even if the summoned Elite quality Half Drows have lower attributes, than 'Rare' quality, he can always use his spiritual power to evolve them to 'Rare' quality and above.
In addition to this, there were also some additional changes to Korrin's innate skill, but he didn't know how much they could influence the rest of the half-drows.
Korrin stepped forward again, his expression steady but filled with anticipation.
"Master, now that I've already upgraded to Tier 4, it's time to fight with those bastards again, this time we don't need to escape like before."
His words carried the weight of past battles, the frustration of retreating, and the burning desire to prove himself.
Korrin clenched his fists, the faint red aura around him flaring slightly as he thought of Graal and the others he had faced in the past few days.
While those fights had sharpened his skills, the sting of defeat lingered.

"Fighting them did make me stronger," Korrin admitted, his voice low but steady.
"But losing to them... That's something I can't forget." He raised his head, his eyes meeting Ram's.
"Now, after my upgrade, I'm confident I can handle Graal without trouble."
His physical strength had increased dramatically, and with his fire affinity stronger than ever, his ability to deal damage had reached new heights.
The changes in his racial abilities—especially the [Thought Acceleration]—had made him faster and more strategic in combat, allowing him to think and react quicker than before.
"You're eager, I see. And you're not wrong—we've been on the defensive long enough." Ram smirked; his gaze sharp as he regarded Korrin.
"Hmm... Let's not rush. We'll wait for Nyra to gather more information before making our move. Those guys must be waiting for us to attack, if we act carelessly, we might encounter Shane. A well-planned attack is always better than charging in blindly."
Korrin nodded, accepting the advice. "Of course, Master. I'll plan carefully, but when the time comes, I'll make sure Graal and other members of the Blood Hawk gang regret targeting us."
The other three Half-Drows, still adjusting to their newfound power, exchanged glances, their expressions filled with resolve. One of them spoke up, his voice firm. "Master, allow us to assist."
Ram turned his gaze to them, his tone calm yet commanding. "You'll follow Korrin's lead. Support him, but don't overreach. This is just the beginning, and we'll have plenty of battles ahead."
As he took Korrin and others back to his Sylvan space, he turned his attention back to his own cultivation.
Thanks to his relentless efforts in nurturing spiritual plants and reviving Half-Drows. His experience had climbed to an impressive 94.3%, leaving him just a step away from breaking through to Tier 4.
"If I keep this pace, I should reach the next level in one or two days," Ram thought, his mind racing with possibilities of the strength he'd gain.
Just then, a soft, soothing voice broke through his thoughts.
It was Ling Xi, standing nearby with a calm but curious expression. Her voice was soft but filled with concern. "Are you facing something troublesome? Do you need my help?"
