System vs Rebirth

"Other rewards? Then, why did you agree that we'll split the money?" Noel narrowed his eyes. "If you already knew about this, you should have talked about this."

"Why? I had no reasons to give any explanation? In fact, if you didn't ask, I would have just allowed you to absorb the Demon Crystal. Won't it be good for me if you die?" Anna shrugged. "Don't forget that we're at odds, Noel. I have no obligation to tell you unless you ask it yourself. And even if I tell you, I know that you're not going to believe me that easily. So, why should I take extra effort to tell you?"

Noel couldn't refute her. As she said, he was still trying to kill him. So, there was no way Anna would help him easily. Even though she didn't want him to die for the time being, she didn't want to stop him from courting death because they were enemies.

Noel pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "Alright. Your suggestion is quite good. By exchanging for another reward, I can get something good at my current level. At least, they'll be beneficial for my current state."

"That's right. Do you think what are the most important things someone like us need? Powerful weapons? Durable armors? No! It's Spirit Technique… precisely Ancient Spirit Technique.

"If you learn about history, your mind will be blown away when you realize that every single person in the world was born with Spirit. There is no need for awakening!

"And Spirit Techniques… the current Spirit Techniques are the result of the optimization that suits the current situation. Their power has been toned down to match our body. On the other hand, the Ancient Spirit Technique is an extremely powerful technique! They can release a far more powerful strength compared to the current Spirit Technique.

"Most people can't use Ancient Spirit Techniques right now because they don't have what it takes. But it'll be different for us… or me? My conversion rate is close to one hundred percent like the people in the past. I have enough qualifications to learn the Ancient Spirit Techniques.

"I'm planning to use the reward to exchange the Ancient Spirit Techniques to strengthen myself. That's what I'll suggest to you as well. Instead of courting death, why don't you take a bit of the tree to make an armor for you? Though, it'll be hard to process it. You might need a skilled craftsman and they might not be humans.

Whether you want to believe in my word or not, it's entirely up

paused for a moment. What Anna said made sense. He couldn't question the logic at all. Although his knowledge about Spirit was low, he had read a few books regarding this topic, so he could still make
