[Manifestation requires 2 B-Rank evaluations, 21,000 points. Proceed with manifestation?]
"Manifest." Without much thought, Takeru nodded immediately, as these items were normally impossible to obtain.
[Deduction successful: B-Rank evaluations *2, 21,000 points. Manifestation complete. Remaining: S-Rank evaluation *1, A-Rank evaluation *1, B-Rank evaluation *2, points: 228,800.]
"Use the Equipment Slot Expansion Permit to expand the Armor Equipment Slot."
[Expanding Armor Equipment Slot requires: B-Rank evaluation *1, 10,000 points. Equipment Slot Expansion *1. Confirm?]
"Confirm."
[Deduction successful. Remaining:...]
"Use Item Slot Expansion Permit *3."
[Expanding Item Slot requires: C-Rank evaluations *3, 15,000 points. Item Slot Expansion *3. Confirm?]
"Confirm."
[Deduction successful. Expansion complete. Remaining: S-rank evaluation *1, A-Rank evaluation *1, points: 203,800.]
After both the equipment and item slots were expanded, Takeru eagerly equipped the Top-tier Robe and the Twilight Night Armor. Feeling the physical changes, he couldn't help but smile.
His item slots now totaled 13. Aside from a spare miscellaneous box, he had Health Recovery Potions, Mana Recovery Potions, two Primary Character Manifestation Cards, the newly obtained Intermediate Enhancement Potion, Skill Enhancement Scrolls, crystal coins, Twilight Night's Shadow and Twilight Moon…
After a moment's thought, Takeru addressed the Reincarnation Space again.
"Use points to raise my Strength, Constitution, Speed, and Intelligence attributes to 100 points each."
[Enhancement requires 48,000 points. Proceed?]
"Confirm enhancement."
[Points deducted. Enhancement in progress. Remaining points: 155,800.]
As the system's voice faded, Takeru felt immense energy acting on his entire body. Under this energy's enhancement, his strength continuously increased.
A while later, as the energy dissipated, Takeru felt a surge of power throughout his body.
But that wasn't all. After briefly adjusting, Takeru directly took out the Enhancement Potion and drank it.
Soon, a burning sensation spread through him. However, compared to the previous Gene Enhancement Potion, this burning sensation had almost no effect on Takeru. In about ten minutes, the potion's effects were fully absorbed.
Checking his attributes, Takeru was very satisfied. He then took out the Intermediate Skill Enhancement Scrolls. After consideration, he used both scrolls to enhance his Rokushiki and Observation Haki!
As for why he didn't enhance Armament Haki, Takeru felt Armament Haki has almost reached intermediate level. Observation Haki and Rokushiki had only recently reached the beginner level, and reaching intermediate would require a lot more time. After comprehensive consideration, he chose these two.
With their use, Takeru soon felt a stream of information flooding his mind, accompanied by a special energy transforming his body.
Closing his eyes to digest the influx, Takeru then reopened them. With a thought, he spread his Observation Haki, which quickly covered a radius of 500 meters.
What entered Takeru's mind was still a vast, blank space, seemingly endless. He then deactivated Observation Haki with another thought.
Next, Takeru used Soru. After five consecutive bursts, he appeared nearly a hundred meters away from his original position.
He then tested Tekkai, Rankyaku, Shigan, etc., finding their use felt completely natural, as if he had diligently practiced them for two or three years.
After the tests, Takeru casually allocated the newly obtained 120 attribute points into his Defense stat before checking his status panel.

Seeing his attributes without even equipping weapons, Takeru smiled happily.
Feeling his newfound power and noticing the new functions, Takeru decided to pause for now and headed to the Reincarnation Hall...
Upon exiting, he saw Umaru, Yukino, and others seemingly in conflict with two newcomers.
"Hmph, ganging up on us, huh? Just you wait. Next time I see you on a mission, I'll make you pay!" The two men spoke and promptly logged out of the Reincarnation Space.
"Hmph, cowards!" Seeing their swift logout, Umaru said indignantly.
"Forget it, Umaru. Let's wait for Takeru to come out first." Yui nearby quickly tried to console Umaru.
"What happened?" Hearing Yui's words, Takeru asked curiously.
"Takeru-senpai, it's like this. Those two men just tried to take advantage of Umaru-nee, but Yukino-nee stopped them and taught them a lesson. Then an argument started..." Seeing Takeru emerge, Ui quickly explained what had happened.
"Where's Taihei?" Seeing that Umaru was nearly taken advantage of, but Taihei was absent, along with Hachiman, Yuta, and others, Takeru asked, puzzled.
"Onii-chan left earlier." Hearing Takeru's question, Umaru replied directly.
As for herself, she had been waiting for Takeru, hoping to gather again, but then the incident occurred.
"I see." Hearing Umaru's words, Takeru nodded in understanding. It was already late. People like Yuta and Hachiman were probably worried about their families and couldn't wait for him.
Currently, besides Umaru and Yukino, only the Hirasawa sisters, Yui and Ui, remained. The others, including Mio and Tsumugi, seemed to have already left.
Takeru had indeed spent quite a while enhancing himself in his private space...
"This kind of thing is unavoidable. As the Reincarnation Space continues to recruit more people, it's inevitable that some individuals with ill intentions will appear. My suggestion is to form teams."
"Similar to what we did before. Team members help each other when they meet in Reincarnation mission worlds. Of course, the same applies in the real world."
"As for those not in the team, everyone should be cautious and vigilant. If someone wants to join our team, they need to pass our evaluation. Accepting anyone would just create chaos within the team."
After some thought, Takeru spoke directly.
"I agree." As soon as Takeru finished, Yukino said earnestly.
As members of the first batch of Reincarnators, Takeru and the others possessed the strength and confidence for this.
"We agree too!" Hearing Takeru and Yukino's words, Yui and Ui quickly nodded in agreement.
"Good. We'll discuss the specifics tomorrow. The most important thing is that some people with twisted minds, after gaining power, will let their inner desires expand. This means our enemies in the future may not only be world anomalies but also fellow Reincarnators from the Reincarnation Space."
Before parting, Takeru looked at everyone seriously.
"I understand." Hearing Takeru's words, everyone frowned slightly before nodding seriously.
"Alright, it's getting late. I need to head back and check on things. See you all tomorrow." Checking the time, Takeru quickly said.
"Okay, see you tomorrow!"
After waving to everyone, Takeru's figure vanished from the spot.
Only after noticing Takeru's departure did Umaru and Yukino realize they had meant to ask Takeru about good things to exchange for. Now, they could only leave first.
