Because of the "Heaven's Grace" unique skill, Shane was able to easily acquire skills that would take ordinary people years, or even a lifetime, to master. Additionally, he would receive the maximum skill points with each level-up, making it exceptionally easy to upgrade skills.
The fact that the magic tester equipped by the adventurer's guild could only detect skills below Level 7 showed that the guild probably did not believe anyone could easily acquire skills above Level 7.
Furthermore, individuals with average talent would receive fewer skill points, and if a large number of skill points were needed to upgrade a skill, it would be virtually impossible to elevate the skill by much.
How many people could have Level-up Skills?
Even if one could own them, how many could an average person possess?
Whether in terms of levels or skills, the extent of a person's growth depended on their aptitude and potential, which proved that even if someone exceptionally talented could fully master one skill, it was unlikely they could master too many.
Humans could not be perfect; even if they could effortlessly acquire skills in which they excelled, they could not easily gain skills in other areas, let alone upgrade them easily.
At least, according to the guild staff, neither gods nor Demon Kings could receive a full one hundred skill points with each level-up, and at most, there might be a few occasions where they gained the full one hundred.
Moreover, from the mouths of the guild staff, Shane also learned that different skills varied in the amount of skill points required to learn and upgrade them due to their effects. No one had ever only needed one skill point to learn any skill, let alone upgrading skills.
Generally speaking, the more powerful a skill's effect, the more skill points were required to learn and upgrade it. Additionally, the higher a skill's level, the more skill points were needed for upgrades.
However, due to the effects of "Heaven's Grace," Shane received the full one hundred skill points each time he leveled up, and needed only one skill point to learn and upgrade each skill.
This was something even gods and Demon Kings could not achieve.
Moreover, Shane now understood the terrifying power of his Holy Sword.
Not to mention anything else, just the ability to increase his level by one hundred seemed extremely daunting to Shane in his current state.
It should be known that in this world, Level 10 was Level 100.
Thus, wielding the Holy Sword, Shane was already equivalent to Level 10 and could even stack more levels onto himself.
("Could I already be invincible in this world?")
This thought flashed through Shane's mind before he immediately dismissed it.
Because, based on Shane's own feeling, though the Holy Sword's power was formidable, it was not enough to render him invincible.
After all, besides the level, there were differences in skills too.
A high level meant only that power, endurance, agility, and magic power were all heightened. However, a person's true strength could not be measured solely by their level, but also by their skills.
A person with a weak physique but skilled in fighting techniques often triumphed over someone extremely physically strong but uninformed in combat.
Although a high level meant more skill points could be acquired, enabling the learning and upgrading of more skills, not everyone had the talent to master numerous skills. The level enhancement bestowed by the Holy Sword would not grant Shane additional skill points; it only purely increased his level.
Furthermore, Shane did not believe that the Demon King's skills would be inferior to his own.
The Demon King might not have fifteen Level-up Skills as he did, but perhaps the opponent possessed a hundred and fifty Level 7 or Level 8 skills.
Moreover, who knew if the opponent held some unfair unique or special skills?
With such contemplation, it was clear that Shane was still far from being invincible in this world.
Let it not be forgotten that Shane had only been in this world for ten days.
If Shane continued to grow in his current state, surpassing the Demon King in the future could almost certainly be considered a done deal.
Not to mention, the Holy Sword not only bestowed level enhancements but also skill level enhancements and possibly other effects.
Therefore, even if he could not be deemed invincible, Shane did not need to belittle himself.
Of course, for now, the only side of Shane that others saw was the extraordinary.
As he looked around and saw everyone quiet down at some point, fixing their gazes on him with astonishment, curiosity, or investigation, Shane sighed silently in his heart.
Now, he must have become the topic of conversation for others.
Forget it, let's return to the main topic.
"Since I am an adult now and have reached Level 10, I should be able to become an adventurer, right?"
Shane addressed the guild staff in front of him.
The guild staff nodded immediately, picked up a quill and parchment, and began making some records. As he did so, he spoke.
"We will initially register you as an adventurer, but since your level is still low and you are a newbie, for your own safety, our guild will arrange for you to join an established adventurer team. This will allow you to become accustomed to taking on and completing tasks. If you can earn the recognition and recommendation of the adventurer team within a month, you will then be granted the official status of an adventurer and receive an adventurer's badge."
That is to say, if within a month Shane could not earn the recognition and recommendation of the adventurer team, he would have to withdraw from the adventurer path.
It made sense when one thought about it.
Adventurers often faced life-and-death battles with Demons and interacted with various clients, some of whom held very high status. To complete various tasks, knowledge and skills in many areas were required. It was unrealistic to think one could easily become an adventurer, complete a slew of tasks, and earn vast amounts of money as in games or novels.
The adventurer's guild, being an organization that spread across the globe, would not have reached its current status without a considerable reputation and fame. If its missions were easily ruined by incapable individuals or went unfulfilled for too long, public questioning would arise.
Therefore, becoming an adventurer required passing assessments.
"This is your license, acknowledging your temporary right to accept tasks from the adventurer's guild. You may enter and exit Lamijion freely without paying entry fees. The license is valid for one month, so please keep it safe."
The guild staff handed Shane a piece of parchment tied with a string, resembling a scroll.
"Please report to the guild tomorrow morning. The adventurer team assigned to you will be awaiting you here."
Upon hearing this, Shane took the license and thanked the guild staff before leaving the guild.
The adventurers present watched Shane's departure and began conversing once he exited the guild.
From this moment on, the news of a newbie adventurer who had reached Level 10 without any skills quietly spread within a small circle.
Just as Shane anticipated, he would temporarily become others' topic of conversation.
