Chapter 675: Chapter 394: Prophecy and Test_2

She paused for a moment, looked into Rod’s eyes, and said seriously.

"The power that it has developed may be employed by the common people, as you know, we have nearly a hundred million population, yet the total number of Fire Holders with Spiritual Power does not exceed five hundred thousand. If the numerous common people could take up arms and join the battle against the Black Fog, even if only to sweep the Dust Level monsters from the battlefield, our defensive pressure would greatly decrease."

"This newly formed Academy is called the Spiritless Academy, and I am one of its members. I will soon devote myself entirely to it, and until I succeed, I won’t consider having children."

Rod was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized that if this were to succeed, it would bring him a lot of Divinity!

Although it might not be very useful, in the situation where human strength was so scarce, having one more power, one more means, was definitely a good thing!

Of course, Rod could not possibly devote all his energy to this matter. Even if he went, it would not be of much use, for everything he had ever learned had already been fully written out and given to the scholars of the Royal City. In terms of intelligence and wisdom, he was not much better than they were.

How can I get involved to achieve more results?

Rod thought for a few seconds, then immediately came up with a way. Looking at Mina’s gleaming eyes, he said, "Sister Mina, what you’re talking about, I’ve actually thought about it for a long time. I believe that the core of this system lies in the use of energy sources."

"If we could replace the energy source, like the Spirit Gun, not using Spiritual Energy to fire but some kind of gunpowder, steam, or steel, then wouldn’t it become a weapon that anyone can use? The power might not be as great as the specialized Spiritual firearms, but for common people to eliminate Dust Level monsters, it should be more than sufficient."

"Moreover, if you delve deeper into your studies, you’ll discover that the greatest use of this system is in production and manufacturing. I’m not exactly sure how it’s done, but you could refer to the spiritual lifts in Star Town, which have turned a several hundred-yard-deep Underground City into a living and habitable space."

"Lastly, I personally suggest that you change the name of your academy. ’Spiritless’ really sounds too crude and lacks impact. How about calling it the ’Iron Brotherhood’ instead?"

——

Rod almost regretted it.

He had only intended to point them in the right direction, to find a few shortcuts for them, and also, before the next Star Flash, to secure a bit more Divinity for himself.

But after listening, Mina was so excited that she clung on and wouldn’t let him leave, insisting that he come up with more ideas.

Not until she had completely emptied Rod, not leaving a drop to spare, did Mina finally allow him to leave the Spiritual Power Laboratory.

What Rod did not expect was that the tests regarding him had not yet finished.

No sooner had he walked out of the laboratory than several scholars and Masters from the Royal City came to ask him to undergo testing at the training grounds so that they could acquire his specific data, which would help in devising better battle strategies and growth systems.

Without a doubt, the first test was about the Star, and Rod unhappily discovered that the translators continued the tradition of haphazardly translating the names of Stars, almost as if on purpose.

"Hmm, this Fire Spark can be twisted out to produce white lines, let’s call it ’White Silk’ then!"

"This Fire Spark functions in a strange way, heightening the sense of pain? Like the wind, ethereal and intangible? Hmm, I think we could name it ’Painful Wind’."

"This Fire Spark is strong, very strong, with a powerful impact, like a crazed beast!"

"Exactly, its name should be ’Raging Charge’!"

Rod truly could not believe it.

The Star Shuttle was somehow translated into "White Silk," Wind’s Phantom turned into "Painful Wind."

The Giant God Power was absurdly named "Raging Charge."

Could these possibly be names thought up by a person?

Rod felt very tempted to give the overly satisfied translator, who was even winking at him, a good beating.

But then he thought again, it did not matter much, it might even further help conceal the existence of the Dream Realm and avoid offending both the taboos of the Dream Realm and the Royal City, so he reluctantly accepted it.

Then came the second test.

The damage caused by an all-out blow without the use of any Characteristics.

The tester set up the Shock Crystal, and Rod, with his bare hands, could hit the crystal’s marker to around the 3000 mark, using Soul Combat Techniques he could reach 5000, and with "Soul Strike" he could hit 9000, which was three times the initial number.

If he used the long sword "Star Night," the power roughly doubled.

If he "Spiritualized," the power could double again.

The recorder took down Rod’s figures and labeled them with the word "Medium."

Rod curiously asked, "Is this data considered medium among Second Level combatants?"

The recorder nodded, "It’s probably because your Fire Sparks don’t passively enhance your close-range physical attacks. Your physical means of destruction aren’t particularly high, but your conversion efficiency of Chaotic State Spiritual Power is quite high, your Soul Combat Techniques are skilled, suited for sustained combat, but not for high-intensity close combat."

Rod nodded in agreement with this statement. He rarely used close combat in the face of powerful monsters.

However, with the Giant God Power, things would be different.

The third test was Spiritual Defense.

It was to test the level of attack he could withstand after converting his Spiritual Power into the Static State.
