Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100

Chapter 614: Soul Test

Feeling the raw, unrestrained power surging through his veins, Max stepped forward with eyes sharp and unwavering. His entire body radiated draconic might, his golden scales glinting under the dim hall lights like battle-forged armor blessed by ancient dragons.

Right now, he was feeling stronger than ever. Dragon Scales Transformation along with the raging power of Draconic Essences was the most destructive combo ever. It was like they were made for each other.

Max rarely used the Dragon Scales Transformation but feeling the true strength flowing through his body at this moment, he decided he would use this form wisely from now on.

The 443 Draconic Essences within him pulsed with rhythmic intensity, making every cell in his body roar with strength.

With his Dragon Scales Transformation fully active, Max clenched his right fist, now glowing faintly with golden light, and aimed directly at the black cube before him. He took a single breath—then struck.

BOOM!

The moment his fist connected with the cube, a deafening explosion rang through the hall. The shockwave blew dust and air outwards like a ripple across a still lake disturbed by a meteor.

And most shocking of all—the cube slid back. Just a few inches, but it moved. That alone was enough to steal the breath from everyone present.

When the commanders had used all their strength, the cube hadn’t budged. When Elias and Aria, geniuses of the Xuan Family, had struck it with all their might, it had absorbed the attacks without the slightest shiver.

But Max had made it move. That single motion said more than words ever could. His physical strength alone surpassed their strongest attack and that was a shocking thing for them.

And then, numbers began to glow on the surface of the cube.

9999

The same peak score as before. The very limit of the cube’s ability to measure. Once again, silence swept across the hall like a wave.

Elias opened his mouth, trying to speak, but no words came out—his tongue stuck to the roof of his mouth in disbelief. Aria’s eyes were narrowed, her mind spiraling with thoughts she couldn’t yet piece together.

As for the two commanders, they simply stared, wide-eyed and unblinking, as if witnessing the rise of a force their world was not ready for.

Compared to their energy-based test results, this was an even more absurd show of strength. More than before, Max had proven he wasn’t just strong—he was beyond anything they had seen, beyond what they thought possible from someone they once dismissed as a mere Seeker Rank genius from the Lower Domain.

Just then, with a soft hum and a faint pulse of light, a pill shot out from the mouth of the black cube and hovered silently before Max. The pill was deep crimson, almost glowing from within, and a thick aura of power leaked from it, making the air around it shimmer faintly.

Its surface rippled with energy so dense it seemed alive, as if something ancient and powerful slumbered inside.

Max reached out and caught it gently, his fingers tingling the moment they touched the surface. Holding it in his palm, he brought up its details using his system interface.

[Raging Dragon Pill]

– Rank: Legendary

– Description: A pill concocted from the blood of a raging dragon. It can increase one’s physical strength to a new level.

---

’The blood of a raging dragon...’ Max’s eyes narrowed thoughtfully. With his unique Devouring Ability, he briefly considered whether he could directly consume the pill’s essence, siphoning the dragon blood properties to gain more Draconic Essences.

But... the risk of ruining such a high-grade pill by experimenting recklessly was too great. No, this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance, and Max wasn’t about to waste it.

With that decision, his golden scales faded away as the Dragon Scales Transformation slowly deactivated. The overwhelming pressure vanished, and his body returned to its normal form, though still brimming with latent power.

Max sat cross-legged calmly under the stunned, watchful eyes of everyone in the hall—none of whom dared speak as they silently observed him, still reeling from what they’d just witnessed.

Without hesitation, Max swallowed the pill.

The moment it entered his mouth, the pill dissolved instantly, releasing an incredible surge of heat and energy that flooded into every corner of his body. But just as the energy tried to disperse into his limbs, something even more astonishing occurred—his black flames emerged on their own.

Out of nowhere, they flickered to life within him and began devouring the scattered remnants of the pill’s energy, greedily swallowing every last drop like a predator that had been starved for years. The flames churned violently for a moment—and then everything went quiet.

And then, the changes began.

A storm of raw physical power stirred within him. His muscles tensed and restructured, bones thickened and strengthened, and a heavy draconic aura began to rise from deep within. It took several long minutes before Max finally opened his eyes, a golden glint flickering in his pupils.

[Draconic Essence increased by 157]

[Current Draconic Essence: 600]

---

’An increase of 157 Draconic Essences in one go... this is wild!’ Max felt his pulse quicken. His excitement soared to new heights—this was no minor upgrade. This was an evolution. For the first time, the number of Draconic Essences in his body had matched the limit of his Dragon Scales Transformation form.

’The trip to the citadel is worth it indeed... but this isn’t over yet,’ Max thought silently, his heart still thrumming with the afterglow of absorbing the Raging Dragon Pill. He knew opportunities like these didn’t come often, and if there was still one final reward to claim, then he would seize it without hesitation.

”Time for the last test,” the young boy in the mechanical hat finally said, his calm voice carrying an unmistakable weight. ”The last test will be about your soul. Soul is as significant as energy and physique—and so, you should all do your best.”

He glanced around the group, his gaze lingering on each of them for a moment. ”Just pour every ounce of your soul force into the cube. It will assess your soul force and give you a score. Rewards, as always, will depend on that score.”

”I will try first,” Max said with a smile as he confidently stepped forward. The others watched him cautiously, some still absorbing their pills, others already tense from everything they’d seen so far. Max, however, was calm. He arrived before the cube and stood still for a moment, focusing inward.

Within his mind, a lush green light surged to life—his Green Soul, calm but vast, vibrant yet sharp. Max channeled every bit of that power into his right hand, compressing the strength of his soul force until it blazed within his palm. Then, with steady focus, he pressed his hand against the cube.

A pause. A flicker.

Then the number appeared—8789.

Max stepped back, his lips twitching in satisfaction. That was a high number. Very high. He wasn’t surprised, though. He knew his soul wasn’t as monstrous as his energy or physique, but it wasn’t weak either.

While it still lagged slightly behind the others, this score meant his soul strength was also on the cusp of something great. It wouldn’t be long before he could push it to the same terrifying level.
