"So in abilities the next realm after ’Active’ is ’Enhanced’?"

    Eryndor muttered while reading through the description on the altar. Nothing had changed.

    He took one last look at the ability before leaving the Mind Palace and returning to his physical body.

    Taking out another protein bar from his bag, he began munching on it before moving on to the Spaceship.

    He had enough fighting for the day, monsters didn’t give him much challenge.

    One, they weren’t intelligent enough to actually employ tactics in a fight. Two, they didn’t have skills to compliment their fighting style.

    For example, lariets would be much more deadly if they had a fist skill which increased its speed or added an element of unpredictability in their fists.

    It would drastically increase the probability of their punches landing on opponents.

    Eryndor would much rather completely use the remaining resources and gobble up as much knowledge as he could.

    As for the extra contribution rewards for killing these beasts and gathering the plants? He couldn’t submit the beasts he actually killed, and beasts which were appropriate to be killed by a stage three Qi Gathering realm cultivator like him gave too little contribution points.

    He would much rather spend that time cultivating, given how fast he was at it.

    Eryndor walked back to the spaceship and entered his room after submitting the information on lariets to the research team.

    Liliana had apparently already discovered what he had, so the rewards would be distributed between them.

    Eryndor had no problem with that, not to mention he wouldn’t be able to do anything even if he did have a problem with it.

    With a fresh feel, he exited his personal bathroom after showering and changed into another pair.

    Eryndor couldn’t endure staying in his sweaty battle clothes, so he always took a shower as soon as he entered his room.

    Sitting on his bed, he went through his phone for some news.

    Oh?

    There was one interesting piece of news on the Academy’s website.

    A first year student had been taken under tutelage by a high ranking member of the Human Federation.

    Drakarion: "Kron, I guess. I don’t know the last name."

    Paulina: "Do you know which high ranking member it was?"

    Drakarion: "It was Guardian Sol."

    Eryndor marvelled over the good luck of that Kron fellow before closing his phone.

    People did indeed take students under them in this age. It was just a more serious version of students doing an internship under a specific person who was a master in the field they were pursuing.

    After emptying his mind of thoughts, he began cultivating.

    Since he was at stage five of Qi Gathering realm, his meridians could hold much more Qi compared to before. That meant he was also able to control a larger amount of Qi compared to when he was in the lower realms.

    As long as his control didn’t falter, Eryndor kept trying to manipulate more and more Qi at each subsequent circulation, trying to test what was his control limit.

    If my control is strong enough, does that mean my speed of cultivation will only get faster?

    In a sense, it was true. As the amount of Qi in his body increased, his cultivation would only get faster and faster as long as his exquisite control could keep up.

    Unfortunately, Eryndor still didn’t know the reason behind his godly control. He could only chalk it up to his Eldritch origins.

    Just like every time, his control once again stopped at half the amount of total Qi. If he tried gathering more Qi to control, his hold would quickly get shaky.

    Why is it half every time? Is it some limit?

    Eryndor remembered that even in previous realms his control had been half of the total Qi.

    Shrugging slightly, he continued cultivating. Clearly, there was no clue as to what was going on, no use thinking about it.

    Eryndor didn’t leave the spaceship again, opting to continue cultivating with laser focus.

    By the time the spaceship reached the second checkpoint planet, Eryndor had finally broken through to stage six of Qi Gathering realm.

    Contrary to his calculations, there were still some pills left.

    Well, I’ll just use them up before moving up to Body Tempering pills.

    It was finally time to strengthen his physique.
