CHAPTER 197: INFINITE SOUL ABSORPTION MANUAL

A month later, after intense focus, Nash finally deduced the advanced soul manual, the Infinite Soul Absorption Manual.

"It’s not easy..." Nash muttered, slightly weary.

Even with his enhanced comprehension, it took a whole month just to deduce a soul manual at saturation level.

For the tempering and condensation level, it would require even more time.

However, as Nash tested the manual, a smile couldn’t help but bloom on his lips.

Like a soul-swallowing whale, every breath he took crushed dozens of elemental crystals.

According to his estimate, each second, he could absorb 10 elemental crystals 30 times faster than before.

At this rate, reaching 10,000% soul saturation would take only about 100 days!

"Worthy of the soul manual I created!" Nash beamed with a smile.

This was just the speed aspect of the manual. The amplification it offered was equally impressive.

If the previous Nine Soul Glazed Tempering Manual amplified his soul 512 times at 1,000% saturation, the Infinite Soul Absorption Manual achieved perfect efficiency.

This means his strength would multiply for every 1% his soul advanced.

At 10,000% soul saturation, his soul could be amplified ten thousand times!

Imagining the boost to his comprehension, willpower, perception, spiritual endurance, and memory, Nash couldn’t help but feel thrilled.

This wasn’t even the end, as his soul saturation could theoretically increase without limit.

The reason the Infinite Soul Absorption Manual was called "infinite" was its potential to grow to an infinite level.

Instead of simultaneously transforming the void energy in his soul, it could be staggered.

He could be tempering 4,000% of his soul while condensing 1,000%, as his soul saturation continued to increase each moment.

Usually, once the void energy in an individual was fully transformed, the foundation would be fully set, unable to grow and increase in capacity.

As if putting a lock, one could only temper the void capacity they have, making it purer and stronger.

"I should be able to create a similar astral art for my body..." Nash thought with intrigue.

Theoretically, no one would consider staggering the transformation of their void energy, as their soul was already capped at 1,000% regardless of their physique’s limit.

But for Nash, this wasn’t true. Once he took the secondary genetic potion at Void General Rank, his soul saturation might already reach millions!

By then, as long as 1% of his body was still in saturation stage, he could continue to increase it.

"Hahaha, invincible!"

At his current limit, Nash could be a hundred times stronger than his peers, but with the secondary genetic potion, he could be a thousand times stronger!

This strength wasn’t compared to mere talents of the universe but to the absolute limit one could achieve.

For instance, a Void Warrior could theoretically reach 1,000x void amplification, 1,000x soul amplification, and 100x physique, totalling 100,000 combat power.

Such an absolute limit was achieved by only a few in the vast universe.

Even Skylar, the most talented individual in the Nova Sector since its inception, had only 97,000 combat power at Void Warrior rank.

Snapping out of his reverie, Nash opened his runic program to check his progress after a month in the bastion pit.

[Nash Navre

Body Saturation: 1,000%

Soul Saturation: 1,160%

Void Amplification: 763x

Soul Amplification: 512x

Physique: 17x

Runic System: 9]

"17 times physique? Not bad."

In just a month of autonomous training, he nearly doubled his physical strength.

This was without the aid of void energy feedback or a more advanced module system.

"It seems easy to fill it up," Nash mused.

The right training environment could indeed rapidly boost one’s strength.

Glancing at his soul amplification, still at 512x, Nash wasn’t too surprised.

His soul’s void energy still stemmed from the Nine Glazed Soul Tempering Manual.

To achieve the amplification of the Infinite Soul Absorption Manual, he needed to refine his soul saturation another time.

"I still need to integrate it into the training module system..."

With that in mind, he opened the [Parallel Module System] and reset the No. 2 parallel consciousness from reading to engraving the new soul manual into the [Training Module System].

Having already deduced the soul manual, the rest was just routine work without deep thinking required.

With that set, Nash considered deducing the advanced astral art next.

But before he could start, a notification rang in his ears.

[All members of the Seeded Talent Program: Please proceed to Auralis X for the start of the unified training.]

[Alert! Proceed to Auralis X immediately, or your qualification will be revoked.]

[Alert! Please Proceed to Auralis X.]

[Alert! Please Proceed to Auralis X.]

Hearing multiple notifications and alarms blare in his ears, Nash couldn’t help but frown.

"I know, I know. No need to repeat it!" Nash muttered, annoyed, as he rose from his spot.

Seeing Camilla also began to disassemble her training equipment, he notified William to leave.

Boarding a battleship, the group sped toward Auralis X in a hurry.

---

Arriving at Auralis X, Nash and his group disembarked from their ships.

"Is this the Dark Beast Tower?" Nash thought in awe.

Auralis X wasn’t a spherical planet but an inverted pyramid housing a single, towering structure.

Seeing it for the first time, Nash couldn’t help but marvel.

The feats using the combination of technology and extraordinary energy were truly beyond imagination.

"Hurry up! Once Instructor Zeke arrives, we’ll be punished!" Camilla urged, pulling him along.

"Oh!"

Lining up with hundreds of other elite talents, Camilla sighed in relief.

"We made it in time..."

---

Soon, the instructor in charge of the Seeded Talent Program, Supreme General Zeke, arrived.

"It seems everyone’s here," Zeke said, nodding in satisfaction as he counted, confirming no one was missing.

"As you may have already guessed, our first training will take place in the Dark Beast Tower."

"For the next three months, you must pass 10,000 levels of the tower. Fail, and you’ll face the consequences..." Zeke said coldly, his gaze sweeping over the group.

Though they didn’t know what the consequences were, the look in Zeke’s eyes made them tremble.

Moreover, as they processed the training’s demands, their hearts sank.

Pass 10,000 levels of the Dark Beast Tower?

Even for talents like them, this was too much to ask.

Furthermore, seeing those veterans of the seeded talent program had a solemn expression, they felt panic in their hearts.
