CHAPTER 1017: CHAPTER 814: PIONEERING MISSION (LONG CHAPTER)

The Pure Source Power Pool is a location established halfway up the mountain, resembling an area filled with hot springs.

The area is considerately divided into male and female sections.

The number of individuals who can enter the Source Power Pool for cultivation is limited, and at this time, coinciding with the arrival of several batches of new trainees from various worlds, many are waiting outside the Source Power Pool area.

The guide, Yu Jiang, greets a few colleagues working in Void City.

Vito and the other trainees turn their attention to other trainees.

They know that like them, Yu Jiang is from Earth, a human from Green Shadow City.

But they haven’t seen humans from other worlds.

At a glance, they are momentarily stunned.

It seems there’s... no difference.

Their physique is similar to theirs, and even the clothing and attire they wear carry a strong Green Shadow style.

If they didn’t already know that these were humans from another world, walking down the streets of Green Shadow City, they would surely not notice any difference.

If there’s a difference to be mentioned...

It might just be the eye colors and hair colors.

Hair is seaweed green, bright yellow, silver white...

Eye colors are also purple, blue, pink... as if wearing colored contact lenses.

The aura is not the slightest bit weaker than theirs.

The so-called geniuses, there are truly so many!

Whether from Earth or from the Mountain and Sea Plane, Wasteland Plane, and other mid-to-high level planets, the slight pride hidden in the hearts of the Heavenly Pride individuals, at this moment, has completely vanished.

"Next batch, Pool One for men, five people, Pool Two five people, Pool Three five people."

"Pool One for women, five people, Pool Two five people, Pool Three... just Duan Qin."

The Pure Source Power Pool in Void City is a completely replicated version, built independently, utilizing the strength of the Territory after thorough analysis.

Each Source Power Pool is slightly smaller than the ones in Green Shadow City, but there are more of them.

This is to ensure that absorption doesn’t interfere with each other.

Based on research and past experience, each Pure Source Power Pool can accommodate five exceptional trainees, and adding more people would slightly decrease the efficiency.

However, if the number of trainees soaking for cultivation is lessened, activating the Pure Source Power Pool would seem wasteful.

Five people is optimal.

But... Duan Qin is a one-person-one-pool case.

Numerous exceptional trainees look amazed, speculating the reason in their hearts.

Yu Jiang and other elders know the reason, but they are even more amazed, "She alone can match the efficiency of five trainees in absorbing Pure Source Power?"

The cultivation speed of exceptional trainees is already much faster than ordinary Transcendent Tier individuals.

Duan Qin is even five times faster than them.

Vito and other trainees from Green Shadow City gasped, could it be that Duan Qin hadn’t exerted her full strength even during the final assessment?

The manager of the Source Power Pool, a gentle-faced woman, smiled and said, "Duan Qin’s potential is indeed excellent, and a prominent figure has already taken notice of her... Do not squander your potential."

She spoke this last sentence to Duan Qin.

True exceptional talents can evoke kindness anywhere, and the manager of the Source Power Pool holds a higher position than guides like Yu Jiang, yet still conveys goodwill.

Other exceptional talents?

The manager was indifferent to them, motioning for them to hurry up.

...

A day later,

"Phew~"

Vito let out a long breath, feeling as if a lifetime had passed in just one short day.

The separation was within himself.

Before entering the Source Power Pool, he had only condensed one Source Core, with the second one seeming a distant prospect.

Yet now he has already condensed three Source Cores, with his realm stable.

If he wished, he even had confidence he could break through to the Second Tier of Transcendent within a month.

It was as if he hadn’t cultivated for just a day, but for a year!

The effectiveness of the Pure Source Power Pool is incredibly formidable.

"If, if I could stay a little longer..."

Shaking his head, Vito acknowledged his own greed.

Even the monstrous Duan Qin only had one day’s time? As for occupying one Source Power Pool, that’s her own capability, also to prevent other exceptional talents from being affected.

"Once the others have finished cultivating, I will explain some matters to you, and then you may start cultivating on your own."

Outside, Yu Jiang, having exited the cultivation state, tells this to the few trainees from the World Tree Academy who rushed out.

In the first batch, only a few were selected, and only when Vito and others came out did seven or eight remaining trainees enter the Pure Source Power Pool.

"Brother Ji..."

Vito noticed Ji Kaipeng also walking out from the Source Power Pool, similarly possessing three Source Cores, yet his aura was more profound.

The two just nodded to each other, exchanging no words.

The nearby waiting exceptional trainees found a place to sit and cultivate themselves.

Either stabilizing their realm, pondering over the Cultivation Dharma Method, or practicing techniques through spiritual power simulation, etc.

Heavenly Pride individuals never waste a second.

At this moment,

A formidable aura emerged, and a petite figure walked out from the entrance of the Source Power Pool.

This aura was so formidable that even though the person tried hard to suppress it, it still stirred up gusts of wind.

It was because the power had grown too fast to be familiar.

"Six, six cores?!"

The Heavenly Pride individuals present all took a sharp intake of breath.

Before cultivation, Duan Qin’s realm was similar to theirs, all at one core.

After cultivation, her progress was remarkably rapid.

It’s important to know that above three cores, each additional Source Core becomes exponentially more challenging to condense.

Duan Qin not only cultivated and absorbed rapidly but with stability as well.

What a monstrous talent!

Some initially defiant Heavenly Pride individuals were thoroughly convinced.

...

In a flash, Vito and other new exchange students had been living in Void City for over half a year.

Their lifestyle wasn’t much different from that at the World Tree Academy, circulating between cultivation, battle, cultivation, battle.

The only difference was that in Void City, they could access higher dimensions.
