Chapter 501 Effect Of Luminary Spring
501 Effect Of Luminary Spring
"We are here!"
Aranic said. Aranic was the one leading the group along with other Elven guards. Everyone seemed excited when they heard those words. Finally, they arrived at the sacred site, and the geniuses stood in awe of the breathtaking spectacle before them. Luminary Spring was a magnificent natural wonder, a crystal-clear pool surrounded by luminous flora. The water emitted a soft, ethereal glow, and the air was filled with a sense of purity and serenity.
"WOW!"
"It"s such a beautiful place!"
"Amazing! If not for all the monsters that we need to defeat to get here, this could be an ideal tourist place." …
Everybody was amazed by how beautiful the place was, unlike the road where it was hazardous and dangerous, especially the girls.
"Remember that unlike what you see, the Luminary Spring is very dangerous. One shouldn"t casually go into the Luminary Spring without taking the pill given by the King."
Aranic warned. The geniuses were once again reminded that what they see is not what is it. The Luminary Spring was a beautiful sight to hold but if not for the pills, one might not survive inside it.
"How much time until the pill effect wears off?"
One genius asked worriedly. "It depends! Although I said that the Luminary Spring is dangerous and one shouldn"t go inside without eating the pills, it is not entirely true."
Aranic continued, "As long as you have a tough body, you would be able to stay inside the Luminary Spring much longer without harming the body. So, the pill"s effect will also depend on how powerful your body is."
Aranic explained. It seems like it was not all death even if you accidentally fall into Luminary Spring as long as your body is strong.
"So, when you feel pain after a few minutes, that"s the signal that the pill effect has worn off and that"s when you need to come out of the Luminary Spring."
The clueless geniuses listened carefully to the explanation.
"So, doesn"t that mean that even without pills, I can stay inside Luminary Spring."
A confident Dwarf asked. Their species had a tough body and believed that if a tough body was all that was needed, then he could easily stay inside the Luminary Spring without the pill.
"Don"t underestimate Luminary Spring. The longer you stay inside the Luminary Spring, the more powerful the effect. Even Rank-S could only stay inside the Luminary Spring for 1 minute without the pill."
Aranic replied.
*GLUP!
The confident Dwarf was frightened by the answer. He was a Rank-A and although he had a tough body, it wasn"t comparable to Rank-S.
So, if even a Rank-S person can stay inside for only 1 minute, doesn"t that mean that he wouldn"t be able to stay even 10 seconds there?
"Let me remind you again. If you feel pain, get out of the Luminary Spring as soon as possible."
Aranic continued, "And one more thing, don"t use your mana under any circ.u.mstances. The moment you use it, your mana and life will both be sucked by the Luminary Spring. So, no fighting!"
Hearing those words, the geniuses knew that Luminary Spring wasn"t a place where they could mess around. "Any more questions?"
Aranic asked.
"Ah! So, on average, how long does the pill effect last? Like what is the average time anyone has stayed inside the Luminary Spring?"
Someone asked.
"As far as I know, one could approximately stay inside the Luminary Spring for 10 minutes with one pill."
Aranic answered.
"Anyone else who has any doubts?"
Aranic asked.
"Alright then, everyone," Aranic said. "It"s time to enter the Luminary Spring. Remember to be careful and don"t push yourselves too hard."
The geniuses nodded in understanding and went into what seemed to be the entrance to the Luminary Spring.
There were two sections. One for males and another for females. Aranic"s words echoed in their minds as they approached the spring, vials of precious pills in hand. This was their lifeline, their opportunity to unlock their true potential and achieve greatness. They took the pills and immediately jumped into the Luminary Spring.
The water was cool and refreshing, and the ethereal glow immediately enveloped them. As soon as they entered the pool, the geniuses felt a surge of energy flow through their bodies. "WOW! I can already feel the effect of the Luminary Spring."
"No wonder why my father wanted to send me here."
"I think that I will break through to Rank-S if I stay here for one day!" …
The geniuses who had already gone inside said. Their words only encourage other geniuses to quickly take the pill and enter Luminary Spring.
Zero wasn"t too eager like the others and first observed. He was truly intrigued by such a place. He tried to touch the Luminary Spring with his bare hand, and for a second nothing happened. After quite a few more seconds, he could feel some stings but nothing major.
It seems like the effect of eating Ancient Dragon Heart had made his body quite powerful. He didn"t know whether it was comparable to Rank-SS but at least, he knew that his body was stronger than Rank-S.
Anyway, he stopped testing Luminary Spring and decided to jump into the Luminary Spring and try to break through. Hiro and Zion had already gone. Not only them but almost all the geniuses were already submerged into Luminary Spring and began training. *SPLASH!
Zero also took the pill and jumped in. They closed their eyes and began to cultivate, absorbing the pure mana of the Luminary Spring. This has a profound effect on their mana stat and seems to be helping with increasing their mana capacity.
Only a minute pa.s.sed, when some of them were able to break through their bottlenecks and reach a new Rank. "That was incredible!" one of the geniuses exclaimed. "I"ve never felt so powerful before!"
"Me too!" another genius added. "I can"t wait to see how much I"ve improved."
The geniuses were all excited about the progress they had made in the Luminary Spring. They knew that they were now stronger than ever before, and they were eager to continue their cultivation, not wanting to waste even one second of their precious time in Luminary Spring.
Zero was also concentrating on cultivating with the hopes of breaking through to Rank-A + and maybe even into Rank-S -.
He was already at the bottleneck of Rank-A and wasn"t very far from Rank-A +. However, he wasn"t unsure about whether he could break through to Rank-S-, even with the amount of pills that he had.
As Zero immersed himself deeper into his cultivation within the Luminary Spring, he could feel the energy coursing through his body. The sensation was unlike anything he had ever experienced. It was as if the very essence of the world was flowing into him, nourishing his soul and body.
Seconds turned into minutes, and the geniuses continued their diligent cultivation, their determination unwavering. As time pa.s.sed, Zero felt a profound change within himself. His mana capacity had expanded significantly, and he could sense that he was on the verge of breaking through to Rank-A+. After a few more seconds, he was easily able to ascend to Rank-A +.
"I advanced!"
Zero muttered satisfiedly. He felt like he was stuck at that rank for far longer than he expected. Anyway, finally he was able to break Rank-A +.
The sensation was exhilarating, but Zero knew that his journey was far from over. He still aspired to reach Rank-S, a goal that seemed more attainable now but still distant. Not wasting any time, Zero kept on cultivating despite breaking through. He kept the matter of looking at this status after he was done cultivating.
"Finally!"
Zion yelled excitedly. He has now ascended to Rank-A -. At the age of 19, he was able to break through Rank-A. A feat so difficult that Mia Frostine was the only one who achieved that feat before Hiro and Zero were able to do that.
Anyways, Zion was happy that he broke through Rank-A - and looked at Hiro who was still cultivating.
He knew that Hiro was still stronger than him but he was very determined. At least for now, he was now in the same rank as Hiro.
It wasn"t long before he was thinking about that when Hiro, too, experienced a breakthrough. Hiro was far from reaching Rank A, but within the Luminary Spring, he felt a surge of power that pushed him to the next level.
He was surprised but at the same time excited and happy for this unexpected event.
"I did it!" Hiro exclaimed with a triumphant grin. He had ascended to Rank-A just like Zero, at least that is what he thought. The sense of accomplishment and newfound strength coursed through his veins.
Zion stared at Hiro in bewilderment. He was just thinking about how he was in the same rank as his rival when Hiro ranked up.
He didn"t know what to say and just quietly continued cultivating. Determined to reach Rank-A and surpa.s.s Hiro.
