CHAPTER 205: 3000% VOID SATURATION

As the flood of void energy surged through his body, the [Training Module System] began to frantically work, circulating and organizing the energy within him.

Feeling his void saturation rate spike every second, Nash felt as if he were bathing in a spring.

From rebuilding his foundation at 1000% void saturation, it began to increase steadily.

However, as it reached 1700% void saturation, he felt an immense pressure threatening to crush his body.

"It seems I need to take it slow..." Nash frowned.

His physique was only at 17 times. To withstand the pressure of 10,000% void saturation, it needed to reach 100 times.

Fortunately, he had anticipated this problem while creating the Infinite Void Absorption Manual.

Activating the assistive mode of the manual through the [Training Module System], the void energy began to flow through two paths.

One stream increased his void saturation rate, while the other nourished his body to grow alongside it.

Usually, this practice was considered taboo, as it was too dangerous.

Void energy was too volatile to be used to directly temper the body.

A single mistake could trigger an explosion that not only could cause grievous injury but also dissipate a large amount of void saturation accumulated in the body.

Especially with the way he used floods of void energy to temper his body.

One misstep, and his body could turn to mush.

Fortunately, Nash remained confident.

Having mastered all the runic programs, he had ultimate control over his body.

Every muscle, bone, blood vessel, organ, and tissue was as familiar to him as the palm of his hand.

As long as the runic module he created had no major flaws, he would be safe.

---

Soon, as minutes, hours, and days passed, Nash unknowingly reached 3,000% void saturation.

"Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to reach 10,000% void saturation..." Nash sighed.

Due to the body tempering, his progress was quite slow, even with the module system.

Furthermore, although he wanted to stay in the Hollow Core Chamber longer, the next training session of the seeded talent program was about to begin.

Not wanting to be late or face punishment, he reluctantly left.

Walking out of the Hollow Core Chamber, he picked a spot nearby and returned to reality.

---

Waking up from the Virtual Pod, Nash hurriedly operated the ship and flew back to Auralis X.

Looking at various messages flashing through his intercom, it seemed Camilla had been calling him these past few days.

"I’m on the way..." Nash quickly replied to keep her from worrying.

Flying from Auralis III to Auralis X took him about an hour of travel.

Arriving at the docking station, he was greeted by Camilla.

"You’re almost late. Where have you been? I’ve been calling you for the nth time. Why didn’t you answer?"

"I was in the dark plane."

"I see, then why didn’t you tell me earlier?" Camilla pouted.

She had thought something had happened to Nash; it seemed she was worrying for nothing.

"I forgot."

"Then make sure you remember in the future."

"Hmm."

As they walked toward the Dark Beast Tower, Camilla began to talk about the commotion he had caused while he was away.

From various teams vying to invite him, to people who wanted him to lead and form a team.

"Form a team? It’s possible..."

Instead of joining a team, Nash was more inclined to create one of his own.

Especially with his runic body, if he weren’t the leader, he might face various obstacles using it.

"If you create a team, I’ll join you!" Camilla said readily.

Although they were required to join the Nova Military Academy team, Camilla didn’t care.

She wasn’t just a student of the academy but also a seeded talent who could make her own decisions.

"Then it’s settled. With your help, we might pass the next competition with ease." Nash smiled.

Camilla’s strength was without a doubt; her bug genetic ability alone could allow her to thrive anywhere.

Having such a teammate and trustworthy partner, Nash would have an easier time adapting in the unregulated area of the dark plane.

Thinking of this, Nash considered creating a dedicated Astral Art for Camilla.

Judging by her total combat power, he knew her astral art hadn’t reached its limit.

[Camilla Fiero: Tier 1 Void Warrior

Combat Power: 35,000]

A combat power of 35,000 was already at the prodigy level.

If Camilla’s physique reached 100 times, her total combat power might reach 85,000 to 90,000.

However, for Nash, it was a deeply flawed foundation.

Normally, a peak combat power for a void warrior was 100,000. Missing 10,000 to 15,000 would make a world of difference as Camilla ascended through the ranks.

If not fixed later, not only would her upper limit be lower, but even if she reached the War God rank, she would only be average.

Not wanting his lover to plateau or become merely comparable to others, Nash decided to set aside time to create a perfect astral art for Camilla.

With his experience from the Infinite Void Manual, he only needed to study the Runic Program composing Camilla’s body and tailor an astral art for her.

---

Soon, as they talked about various things, they arrived at the Dark Beast Tower.

Suddenly, seeing the man with Camilla, various groups paused, staring at him.

"Are you Noir? I’m from the Iron Vanguard Team, the elite team from the Nova Army. I hope to invite you..."

"Don’t listen to him. I’m from Verdant Blood Squad, from the Verdant Group. If you join us, you can..."

"Haha, when it comes to benefits, you can’t go wrong with the Thousand Treasure Squad. As an established organization that spans the Solaris Domain, you’d be one step away from winning the cosmic competition."

Hearing various offers flood his ears, Nash shook his head.

"I’m sorry, I don’t plan to join any team."

"Think it through. You can tell us if you have any requests. If you have the ability, you could even be our leader."

"That’s right. With a team and the backing behind us, you’d have better chances of passing the cosmic competition."

"No, I won’t consider it..." Nash shook his head again.

Even if he became the leader of their team, he’d still be tethered to the organization behind them.

Although their offers were generous, surpassing even what the Nova Sector provided, they still weren’t enough to sway him.
