Chapter 274: Two Little Surprises

-----

Of course, I have not forgotten the Subordinates I have within my Origin Core. I had already worked hard to find somehow a way to summon them prematurely, but everything seems to be connected with my Spirit Orb Rank. I am slowly increasing its spiritual essence through cultivating it with Mana, but I can only get far enough before I hit a wall of progression that I can only overpower through Leveling, which grants instant stat bonuses that modify the body and spirit orb. I am getting near Rank 2, in two more Stages, but that would be roughly twenty or even thirty levels, so it might take up until I reach the Academy before I can summon a second Subordinate.
