CHAPTER 340: COMPLETE WIND ELEMENT TRAINING

Coming close to the top ranks and getting another buff reward, Nash couldn’t help but feel excited.

However, before that, he had to choose a new buff as a reward for their shelter upgrade.

"Let’s see, what to choose?"

From soul training, elemental comprehension, elemental training, resource collection efficiency, and more, he began to choose what they needed the most.

Having already chosen the elemental comprehension buff, Nash ultimately chose the elemental training buff.

Comprehension and training were different.

While comprehension boosted mastery and control over the element, training increased the absorption speed to condense the elemental core.

Usually, with each progress in mastery, individuals can absorb more elemental energy to make their elemental core bigger.

Otherwise, without enough mastery and control, no matter how much elemental energy they absorbed, it wouldn’t stick to their elemental core.

However, Nash bypassed the mastery stage and went straight to absorption.

Instead of mastering and absorbing simultaneously, he fully mastered the element first before absorbing.

Soon, after choosing the elemental training buff, Nash immediately felt the difference.

[Elemental Training: Enhances elemental absorption by 10 times (Level 1)]

"Hiss—now this is what I call speedy training!" Nash exclaimed, feeling the sudden surge in elemental energy.

Previously, it should have taken him over 50 days to condense 100% of the wind elemental core; now it should only take a few days.

"It’s too fast, I haven’t even finished the fire elemental manual yet," Nash sighed.

Dividing his attention between multiple fronts, his progress with the manual wasn’t as fast as he hoped.

Not wanting to waste any training time after he finished with the wind element, Nash decided to set everything else aside and concentrate on creating the fire elemental manual.

At his current speed, he should be able to finish it in a week or two.

"I can only do this..."

Turning his attention away from the runic panel, he saw the others preparing for another celebration.

"Haha, this is indeed a good tradition. Since we’ve achieved something, we should reward ourselves..."

Putting his training on hold for a few hours, Nash joined the others in their celebration.

---

Meanwhile, feeling the new buff, most of the Void Venerates and Void Generals wailed in excitement.

Having their leader at the same rank as them was truly beneficial.

All resources would be on the same tier, boosting their progress.

Feeling that their comprehension and absorption of elements had improved, they couldn’t wait to start training.

On the other hand, the rest of the team couldn’t help but cry in frustration.

With little time for training, they desperately wished for a buff that could help them with it, especially their soul.

Even with all the potions bought by the Nova Sector, their progress was as slow as a turtle’s.

Unfortunately, their leader seemed more focused on his elemental training, leaving them to fend for themselves.

"Better luck next time..." Nash laughed, seeing their situation.

He still hadn’t deduced the Soul Transformation manual, so he wasn’t in a hurry to pick the soul training buff.

Moreover, the number of the Void Venerates in the team hadn’t even reached thirty, leaving some of their Tier 5 war weapons underutilized.

Wanting to produce more of the team’s top powers, they could only wait.

---

Soon, after the celebration, Nash began building a complete shelter on top of Tsuka.

750 sq km was more than enough to accommodate everyone.

Although it wasn’t as convenient as building their base directly at the resource point, it would save them a massive amount of time traveling.

Especially the core facilities that couldn’t be easily moved, from research, workshops, and production to training and other necessities unrelated to battle, everything needed to be built.

With plenty of merits to spend, Nash built the best of the best, aiming for maximum quality.

Nash also constructed some defensive structures to alleviate the burden on the others.

Although dark beasts didn’t usually attack Tsuka, there were still many strays that required their attention.

Having built everything in a day, Nash went back to seclusion.

---

A week later, as the Nova Team emptied the high-grade resource lode, Nash also successfully condensed a complete wind elemental core.

In the runic space, Nash looked at the runic core, the size of a small glass ball.

"Can’t it get bigger?" Nash sighed in disappointment.

He thought that, like his Void Core and Soul Core, the wind elemental core could continue to expand beyond 100%.

However, it seemed that was the limit of the element itself.

Any higher, and all the energy it absorbed would dissipate or simply replenish itself.

"It seems mastering all the other elements is imperative."

One elemental core could only enhance his overall combat power by 70 times.

Furthermore, due to his unique method of partial integration, he could only gain a fraction of its enhancement, which was less than one hundredth.

Fortunately, with the fusion of the Wind Celestial Beast, he could fully harness the element’s enhancement, comparable to an A-grade Void Affinity.

Leaving the base, Nash tested his power a few times by summoning and fusing with the Wind Elemental Beast.

"Hmm, this is alright..."

With his current power, no one on the team could defeat him in raw strength alone.

His speed was even more remarkable, as he controlled the power of the wind, allowing him to travel thousands of kilometers in just a few minutes.

At maximum speed, he could even zip through such a distance in a few dozen seconds, giving him the range and the ability to react in any situation.

Satisfied with the test, Nash returned to the shelter.

It had been about three months since they found the light-type resource point for Tsuka.

With their compounding efficiency, the longer they stayed at a resource point, the more collector devices they could reconfigure, speeding up their mining process.

Looking at the base, everyone had already started packing up.

This time, even the war weapons were packed into their storage items.

With Tsuka fully capable of housing everyone, there was no need to worry about travel.

The only problem now was which resource point to choose.

On his [Memory Module System], there were thousands of Tier 5 high-grade resource lodes alone.

As for the danger, they didn’t need to worry about that either.

They could already control six Tier 5 war weapons, making the clearance of any dark beast nest not a problem.

Unfortunately, there were no light-type resources within a million-kilometer radius; otherwise, the choice would have been obvious.

Considering the secret realm he had found, Nash chose a resource point near it.

"That’s it. Let’s go to this resource point."
