Chapter 662: Chapter 389 Nightmare Night_2

The second step was to try to use Spiritual Energy to "fuse" the spirit flesh, achieving a mix of soul, body, and Spiritual Energy.

When this step was completed, Spiritualization had already begun, and the person gradually transcended the category of human.

Therefore, in ancient times, it was also called "Non-Human."

Whether one can become a "Non-Human" is the dividing line between the strong and the rest.

With the help of Divine Sense, Rod mastered these two steps at an unprecedented speed.

What took ordinary people months, or even years, Rod finished in just three days.

What remained was to improve the speed of Spiritualization as quickly as possible, which was a matter of perseverance. Divine Sense couldn’t help much with non-creative learning; it was all up to Rod himself.

Old Sword Saint Galen expressed immense awe, "Rod, your initial learning talent is truly the strongest I have ever seen in my life."

Rod nodded, "That’s right, I’ve always liked to rely on myself. It’s precisely this spirit that has honed such a strong learning ability."

Old Sword Saint Galen sighed, "It’s a shame that your in-depth learning ability is too weak, almost unhuman-like. Overall, you are still far behind Alan. I will return to the Jinwoosi Academy and discuss in detail with the Masters and scholars to see if there is any way to improve this flaw."

The Book of Knowledge suddenly shouted in his mind, "Divinity, there’s 1 point of Divinity!"

Rod coughed somewhat awkwardly.

"There’s no need for that, I won’t occupy so many resources. After all, any resource in the Royal City is scarce, better to give them to those who need them more."

Old Sword Saint Galen chuckled, "Rod, do you know? Every resource invested in the Royal City must yield more than ten times the return. Only this way can humanity survive, and geniuses are such people. New stars are those who can bring immediate return of tenfold or more. In this respect, you are among the best new stars. The resources invested in you are minuscule, but your growth is no less than that of other new stars. This is truly a miracle."

Rod chuckled dryly, "Yeah, it’s all the result of my hard work. I’m just good at working hard. Leave the resources for others; maybe another new star will emerge."

Old Sword Saint Galen looked at him, filled with admiration.

"Alright, we’ll give this resource to someone else, then. You’re right, we’ve tested it. Giving you more resources doesn’t guarantee linear growth in your abilities. It seems we only need to maintain a minimum amount because any further increase in efficiency becomes extremely low."

Rod laughed dryly, "Uh-huh, right."

"However,"

Old Sword Saint Galen looked at him seriously.

"Rod, you are one of our most valued new stars. We will try to fulfill any need you have, so if there’s anything you require, you must speak up."

Rod really wanted to say that they should beat the monsters half to death so he could reap the benefits, but such a statement involved the secret of the Dream Realm and couldn’t be made public.

At most, he could execute it through the authority of the Battle Group commander, but he couldn’t issue such orders frequently either, as it would raise suspicions, which would be detrimental to the Dream Realm.

So, the best choice was to recruit auxiliary-type teammates like Mephit or Anna.

Rod could only nod in understanding, "I get it."

Old Sword Saint Galen gave him a profound look before leaving the hall.

Even after stepping back from the battlefront, he couldn’t rest.

Everyone was busy. The only ones who might still be surrounded by laughter and joy were probably the students of Jinworth Academy.

After Rod had initially mastered Spiritualization, the countdown on the premonition face had only 7 days left.

The approach of the invasion made the light of the Dream Realm grow dim, and the air became damp and heavy, like a wet towel pressed against one’s mouth and nose, making it hard to breathe.

The Book of Knowledge felt immense pressure and had been madly manipulating the Light Platform to travel, determined to obtain a Dream Fragment before the invasion arrived.

However, the speed of the Dream Bubble depended mainly on the energy of the Dream Realm, and Spirituality could only play a supporting role; no amount of it could be of further use.

With only 9 energy points in the Dream Realm, a portion was still needed for its basic operation, meaning at most only 6 could be allotted to the Bubble, making it impossible to increase its speed.

The Book of Knowledge was very anxious, but the puppet did not care and was either eating souls and Spirituality or sleeping every day.

The Book of Knowledge was very unhappy, repeatedly accusing Aphro of being a waste, only knowing how to eat and sleep.

The puppet did not argue with it until that day, when the Book of Knowledge came over to hit it frantically, and the puppet finally said something.

"The Quantification is about to be completed."

The Book of Knowledge was stunned, then remembered that once the Master fully controlled more potent Spiritual Energy, the speed of Quantification would greatly increase.

In the next instant, the Master appeared out of thin air.

"Book, I feel something’s not right. My soul is restless."

The Book of Knowledge quickly wrote, "Hahaha, foolish Master, I told you much earlier that the enhancement of Spiritual Energy would accelerate the speed of Quantification. The Quantification of stars is inherently very fast. It’s only because of your frail Spirituality that their Quantification has dragged on for so long, such a waste... ah! I mean a genius! What I mean is a genius!"

Rod withdrew his middle finger and said discontentedly, "Book, calm down a bit... When will the Quantification be completed, and which star is it this time? There isn’t much Soul and Spirituality left in the Dream Realm, and I want to go on a hunt."
