Chapter 1008: 200% Brain Region Width
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Xia Fei suddenly woke up, and immediately sat up and entered a cultivation state!
This contrast was truly too great. Several seconds ago, Radix and Hosu had been worried about whether Xia Fei would be able to safely leave his coma, but now, Xia Fei was 100% energized, giving everyone a fright.
This astonis.h.i.+ng act was only the beginning. After another few seconds, Xia Fei shuddered and began to exude a brilliant aura that drew everyone’s attention.
“He’s promoted! At a time like this, Xia Fei actually promoted!” Radix exclaimed in shock.
No one knew what was happening, and even Radix only knew that Xia Fei was currently trying to integrate his body’s power with his soul power.
This integration struggle appeared to be very difficult. At least in the early phase, Xia Fei was not able to make very quick progress. But surprisingly, after breaking through some sort of barrier, Xia Fei began to make such incredible progress that he instantly solidified the foundations of his soul imprint and advanced!
The various warriors in the area were all rendered speechless. After all, Xia Fei was advancing along the path of the Founders. Xia Fei had already advanced upward as quickly as a rocket before this, making everyone so jealous that their eyeb.a.l.l.s almost fell out. Now, Xia Fei was even advancing in his sleep!
“It might not be long before the Skywings have a second Founder…”
“Comparison can truly anger a person to death. I’ve heard that Xia Fei has only been part of the Law Realm for two years, and he’s already nearing level 6 Superior Law G.o.d. Not even the cultivation speed of my entire clan added together could match this speed.”
“Right? Xia Fei also has that monstrous friend of unknown level. I feel like that man is strong enough to annihilate my entire clan with one hand.”
The ones speaking were the heads of various clans. They had gathered together and discussed what the Law Realm would do for now. The war against the Dark lifeformshad just come to an end, and while Solo, Constant, and the other two Founders had fled, the Law Realm had once more been united, with six Founders in Xia Gucheng, Crane, Ocean, Vista, Yore, and Lingua holding the fort!
Then there was also the Soul Hunter, Hosu! Constant’s group of four Founders would find it hard to cause any trouble.
However, anything that these clan heads said held very little power. It was the six Founders who were the true masters of the Law Realm! Authority naturally lay in hands of the Fiend Blade, the Skywings, which Xia Fei belonged to!
Six Law G.o.ds under one clan! Besides that, there was its Founder patriarch Xia Gucheng and its transcendently powerful ally Hosu. Tee entire Law Realm now looked to the Skywings for guidance.
A superclan had been born!
Xia Fei’s sudden advance had helped this development along. Perhaps Xia Fei still wasn’t the strongest Fiendwing of the Skywings, but there was no question that Xia Fei, who could advance even while he was sleeping, would one day stand at the peak of the universe!
Everyone who watched Xia Fei advance with divine speed seemed to have been given a stimulant as they made up their minds to never make an enemy of the Skywings. Even the five other Founders were of this opinion.
Xia Gucheng smiled and then looked away from Xia Fei, softly saying, “Heh, my apologies. My Xia Fei’s advancing is truly causing quite the commotion. Let’s talk somewhere else.”
Everyone naturally nodded in agreement. Thus, Xia Gucheng, the five other Founders, the princ.i.p.al clan heads from the G.o.d and Demon Races, Moses of the Guardians Faction, Huang Lingtian of the Rebels Faction, and the captains of the mercenary federation of the Exiled Grounds found a more secluded place to discuss the future of the Law Realm.
….
Stretching, Xia Fei casually sat up, watched by countless shocked, admiring, and envious eyes.
Xia Fei acted like he was completely unaware, treating all these stares as empty air as he said, “Its been ages since I’ve slept. I was dreaming about being together with Avril just now, which didn’t feel bad at all.”
Plus.h.!.+
The warriors closest to Xia Fei almost choked.
They had thought that Xia Fei had fallen into a coma! For someone in a coma to be having sweet dreams while also advancing in level was something that no one would ever believe!
Hosu frowned. He extended a hand to take Xia Fei away and try and determine what had happened, but as he reached out, he quickly changed his mind. His energy reserves were so feeble that he wasn’t willing to waste even the slightest bit of energy.
“Let’s talk somewhere else,” Hosu said sternly.
Xia Fei nodded. He immediately stood up and moved his body around a little.
Radix and Hosu were taken aback, their eyes flas.h.i.+ng.
…
After the war was over, the warriors divided into four groups. The first group consisted of the leaders led by Xia Gucheng, who went off to discuss the reconsolidation of the Law Realm. The second group consisted of the wounded, who went back to their various clans to receive treatment. The third group was tasked with sweeping the battlefield and cleaning up the remnants of the Dark lifeforms.
Besides that, there was Xia Fei and Hosu. Hosu and Radix were anxious to know what had happened with him.
“It’s like the waters of a river surging at a dam. At the start, because the dam is too st.u.r.dy, my attempts weren’t having much of an effect. But with the last strike, the dam shattered, and there was nothing stopping the river’s waters anymore. Not only did I wake up, I even used that frenzied surge of energy to break into level 6 Law G.o.d,” Xia Fei breezily explained. It was as if this was all very natural for him and nothing to be amazed about.
Radix and Hosu were both in disbelief. They found it very hard to understand what had happened, but Xia Fei’s relaxed att.i.tude alone left them shocked.
The two of them exchanged a glance. Hosu flipped his wrist over, constructing an image of a Soul Mark in the air. “This is a Soul Mark. In normal circ.u.mstances, the Soul Mark can be considered a kind of seed. Just like the unlocking of the seventh brain region, a normal person normally can’t get the seed of soul power to sprout.
“There is one necessary condition for unlocking the Soul Mark: a brain region that is open 90% or more. Once a person ends the cultivation of their body, only someone with this level of talent has a chance at unlocking the power of their soul.”
Surprised, Xia Fei asked, “Only someone with a brain region open 90% or higher can unlock their Soul Mark? Doesn’t that mean the vast majority of warriors can’t use soul power!? They’ll have no chance of reaching a higher level of power in their lifetime?”
“Correct!” Radix stated firmly. “The warrior hierarchy is like a pyramid. Only a tiny number of people are destined to be elites. If war G.o.ds were so easy to come by, the entire universe would be in chaos by now. The universe mysteriously has its own laws, and not every person will be born with the talent to become a war G.o.d.
“Let’s use you as an example. You had a brain region that was 100% open from the start. This is your talent, and you were able to advance so quickly because of your talent, effort, your personality that refuses to concede, and your unique way of thinking. It was due to this mixture of factors.
“Crucially, however, your brain region is no longer just 100% open. It is 200% open!”
Radix seemed thrilled as he finally got to the point of his entire spiel. Radix and Hosu weren’t shocked just because Xia Fei had unlocked his Soul Mark early, and not merely because Xia Fei was able to use his Soul Mark to advance, but because after advancing, the width of Xia Fei’s brain region was now at 200%!
The curious Xia Fei asked, “Is 200% very impressive? Why do both of you look so shocked?”
Hosu said very solemnly, “The power of the body and the power of the soul are stacked on top of each other like two highways. Highways that are wide and flat are naturally better for transmitting energy; we’re so surprised because you’ve reached the peak in both of these energy systems!
“It’s one thing to have peak potential in the body. After all, body cultivation is the early phase, and many talented people are able to reach 100% width. As warriors begin to work with soul power, their brain regions will widen. Since the brain region needs to hold both law totems and the Soul Mark, one that’s too small will limit a warrior’s future development.
“But while in this phase, you’ve already reached the limit of 200%. Even if your brain region doesn’t get any wider after this, you will have already reached the peak level!”
Hosu spoke very seriously, and Radix nodded along earnestly. Unfortunately, Xia Fei didn’t appear to be any more enlightened. He placed a hand under his chin and muttered, “So 200% width isn’t even the limit. As my cultivation increases, my seventh brain region will continue to widen…”
Radix pursed his lips. He gestured at Hosu and had him come to the side, where he whispered, “Xia Fei still has no idea what we’re talking about. He’s still focused on brain region width.”
Hosu replied, “I also didn’t think that he would have such a big appet.i.te. He doesn’t realize that the power of the Soul Mark very rarely expands the brain region over 100%. 108% is already a genius, and 109% is a peerless genius!
“With just the Soul Mark, Xia Fei has already hit the peak of 200%! I really don’t know how to describe this. I don’t think there’s anyone in the entire Aurora Clan that has ever managed to hit 200% width!”
The seventh brain region was divided into two parts. One part was for body energy, the place prepared for law energy. The other part was mental energy, where the Soul Mark, also known as soul power, was located.
Brain region width was connected to how many Law patterns, Soul Mark, and energy a warrior could stuff into this small s.p.a.ce, and was the most concentrated manifestation of talent.
Soul Mark had one huge improvement compared to Law patterns: Soul Mark could carry energy!
Even that most basic rainbow energy ball had been a huge help to Xia Fei, allowing him to gain energy from his enemies and store it for when he needed.
With a complete Soul Mark, Xia Fei would now be able to store even more energy, and with the Fiendish Blade Nirvana’s unique trait, not only would Xia Fei not slow down in his advancement speed, he would continue to accelerate! There was no stopping him on the path of the strong!
…
On the other end of the field, a conversation concerning the future of the entire Law Realm was taking place between the Founders and the various clan representatives was unfolding.
Everyone was happy that their first collaboration had dealt a heavy blow to the Dark Lifeforms. After all, none of them had imagined a complete victory to be possible.
Someone proposed that they use this momentum to expand the territory of the Law Realm to the entire universe. Another hoped to select a new leader for the Law Realm. There was a very enthusiastic mood in the air.
Suddenly, the number one expert of the Guardians Faction, Moses, jumped up, staring at the communication device in his hand for a whole ten seconds!
Raising his head, he turned ghastly pale as he cried out, “I must frankly tell everyone present that, one minute ago, the Inverse began their general a.s.sault! The Guardians probably won’t be able to hold the Cosmic Gate!”
Whoos.h.!.+
Everyone paled at his words!
