Chapter 479: Chapter 309: Breakthrough

Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief, only Aro clapped her hands and laughed, "Rod is really awesome! Let’s go kill the demon now!"

White Wolf immediately said, "No! We are not prepared and cannot go in!"

Velas also said, "Fighting a great demon in the Abyss Rift is very dangerous. Its lowest Spiritual Power Level exceeds the Twelth Level, which categorizes it as a High Rank Strong Level monster, only slightly less powerful than the Abyss Giant Snake and stronger than any monster we’ve encountered in Star Town."

Rod laughed, "Just a High Rank Strong Level? I’ve killed Middle Rank, can’t I kill High Rank?"

Everyone’s expressions grew more serious.

Velas spoke softly, "In the Strong Level category, Middle Rank and High Rank are dividing lines. Once the Spiritual Power Level surpasses the Twelth Level, it undergoes a qualitative change."

Rod asked in surprise, "What qualitative change?"

"Too high a density of Spiritual Energy causes it to transform from a formless energy into a materialized state, significantly increasing its strength beyond anything below the Twelth Level."

"Under monster classification standards, monsters that have fully materialized and entered an enhanced state are categorized as Strong Level, and those reaching Twelth Level in Spiritual Power Strength are High Rank Strong Level. Their abilities in both attack and defense are greatly enhanced, and their characteristics become extremely powerful."

White Wolf raised his rugged eyebrows.

"According to our combat rules, we need at least three High Rank combatants to engage in such a battle," he added.

Velas continued, "Vivian and I are both Fourth Level combatants, Mr. White Wolf was once a Third Level combatant but not anymore, and Aro has no combat ability. Strictly speaking, she only qualifies as support staff, and our team’s strength is insufficient to take down the great demon."

Is it possible to be demoted?

Rod glanced at White Wolf, whose face was resolute, weathered, slightly graying at the temples but showing no signs of weakness, physically robust with no disabilities apparent.

Aro whispered, "Uncle White Wolf was severely injured during the North City battle, his Soul was split in half, his Spirit Flesh no longer coordinated, and his Seal of the Sky became an incomplete state between Fire Spark and Characteristic. The Fire Hall maintained his perks, but his combat level was reduced."

Rod was shocked. How could someone live with half a soul missing?

White Wolf’s expression remained calm, not at all like someone whose soul was split.

"People can be very fragile at times, but at other times, much stronger than you might imagine,"

he said quietly.

"Let’s drop my subject, Rod. I underestimated you; I did not expect you to find the entrance, but further hunting is absolutely impossible. We need to return to Guardian Castle, make thorough preparations, and then we can enter the Abyss."

So you were just pretending to agree, thinking I couldn’t find the entrance?

Rod thought for a moment and asked, "Uncle White Wolf, what is your Seal of the Sky for?"

White Wolf glanced at him and answered briefly.

"The Seal of the Sky is a seal that locks space, turning it into an impassable state, typically used to create obstacles, block monsters, or seal rifts like the Abyss Rift."

Rod nodded, "Can it stop the great demon?"

White Wolf cautiously said, "Currently, I can only mildly obstruct its movement. Its Spiritual Power is too strong, and it can forcefully shatter the seal. At best, it might hold for one to two seconds."

Rod then asked, "Mr. Velas, what is your characteristic?"

"Spirit Binding Lock," Velas answered briefly. "It interferes with and restricts the flow of Spiritual Power."

"Miss Vivian, how about you?"

"Spirit Void Bubble, I create bubbles that isolate pollution."

Seeing Aro eager to try, Rod laughed, "Aro, I know yours, mana replenishment."

Aro pouted, her round cheeks full of displeasure.

"No, you don’t know; ask me."

"Uh... Aro, what is your characteristic?"

Aro placed her hands on her hips, stood tall, and puffed her chest up, capturing Rod’s attention.

"My characteristic is Spiritual Power Assimilation! I successfully bloomed the Ninth Fireworks in the characteristic test at the Mechanical Research Institute, I’m at the Ninth Level characteristic now!"

That’s so impressive!

Rod looked at Aro anew, focusing slightly longer on certain aspects due to some irresistible factors.

He knew the essence of a characteristic was the projection of Source Law in the soul at the moment of its formation.

The higher the level, the closer the characteristic is to its origin.

In the characteristic test at the Mechanical Research Institute, the level of a characteristic is expressed by the number of Fireworks ignited.

Being able to light nine Fireworks indicates her characteristic is at the Ninth Level, the highest level just below Primordial.

With further quantification, the projection could replace the origin, and her soul would undergo the final sublimation—she would wield the power of the origin.

"Hehehe," Aro’s cute round face was full of a triumphant expression, "I’m pretty impressive, right?"

"Yeah, very big...no, I mean, what use is the Ninth Level Spiritual Power Assimilation?"

"I can instantly digest Spiritual Power Potions!"

Aro proudly patted her bulging pouch.

"Rod, the depths of my capacity are beyond your reach; I can give you as many sisters as you want."

Rod’s eyes lit up, laughed, and said, "Then that’s settled, I was worried that after I became stronger, you couldn’t handle it, but that’s no problem now."

He turned his head and said,

"No need to go back. Otherwise, the Abyss Rift will continue spewing those Corrupted Demons and plague the area; let’s go confront it."
