Bab 17: Innate Realm
Training Arena.
The second-stage Acquired warrior who was instantly killed was in shock, finding it hard to believe that he wasn't even qualified to fight the opponent.
It's not as if he hadn't seen high-level Transcendent beings in action before, but this was beyond exaggerated.
From this perspective, he could only attribute his current strength in the Acquired realm to the power of the Star Art.
"Terrifying!"
After leaving such an assessment in his heart, he no longer had the courage to continue the challenge.
After all, being killed in seconds each time what kind of training could that provide? He couldn't even see how his opponent moved, so there was no question of improving.
At this moment, many others were thinking the same way.
"My god! The Chosen Warrior with perfect power is terrifying, guys, don't challenge him!"
"Yes, instead of wasting your free time on this, it's better to find an opponent of equal strength and challenge them to hone your actual combat skills."
"Is this the gap...? I don't know when I'll be able to fight a Chosen Warrior."
"Listen to me, it's more cost-effective to choose a beast of the same realm to challenge! That way, it'll be easier to handle hunting tasks in the future."
Everyone was curious. When the Training Arena feature first appeared, they often chose stronger opponents.
After being beaten bloody several times, they would abandon this idea and choose a more evenly matched opponent for a challenge.
But there was one exception: Ban Chang, the head of the Ban family, who had just recently entered the Star Net.
His power had already reached the peak of the ninth stage of the Acquired realm, thanks to switching his cultivation system from the old one to the new Star cultivation method.
This was the maximum limit of the Acquired realm.
Due to decades of cultivation, his foundation was extremely solid, and his combat experience was rich.
Ordinary fighters couldn't face him at all.
But...
"Damn it, why are the peak Acquired warriors in the Training Arena so powerful?"
"Clearly, we're in the same realm, but I have no chance of winning the next match!"
Is that right? Is there really no chance of winning?
At this time, Ban Chang, like everyone else, had an incredulous expression on his face.
Other warriors also found the challenges beyond their capabilities.
But clearly, he and his opponent possessed the same level of energy and power, both having reached the maximum in the Acquired realm.
Moreover, he had also been practicing the Star Art, though only for a short while.
In this case, how could he not win?
There seemed to be only one possibility: the gap in the realms.
Despite changing his cultivation system and reaching the peak of the Acquired realm, his foundation was flawed.
Instead of unleashing 100% of his power, he was wasting 90%, leaving only 10%.
The one thing that could help him now was the Star Art, which would allow him to control his power and build a solid foundation!
"The perfect Acquired-level Star Art... it can help me improve!"
Ban Chang breathed a sigh of relief, more amazed in his heart.
If he had known earlier that there was such a powerful cultivation method, why would he have worried about being a master?
Now, he had such an opportunity.
Though he had been completely defeated in several battles without exception, it wasn't all in vain.
The feelings in those battles were real.
"Keep challenging!"
Ban Chang took a deep breath, ready to fight again.
After ten hours, the free time was over, but Ban Chang was pleased.
The perfect Acquired-level Star Art!
This also meant he was able to compete with his opponents in the Training Arena.
Compared to his former self before entering the Star Net, he would have been completely crushed!
As for the cost, it had consumed all the resources he had saved during this period and activated the auxiliary cultivation system.
After spending millions, he finally saw results.
Ban Chang harnessed his Acquired energy, based on the newfound understanding of depletion he had just grasped.
He replaced it with cultivation acceleration fluid and meridian enhancement liquid, activated the auxiliary cultivation system, and felt the innate energy.
Innate energy provided precise control over the entire body, penetrating the outer membranes of muscles and bones, developing strength from the inside out.
The biggest difference from the Acquired stage was that while the strength Acquired warriors used might not differ much, their destructive power was raised to a higher level.
Strength was transmitted through tendons, powered by innate energy...
Reflecting on the battles during this time, Ban Chang became increasingly aware of the true meaning of innate energy.
In the next moment...
"Wait, I broke through!"
At last, the bottleneck of the peak Acquired realm had shattered, and Ban Chang had reached the Innate realm.
He couldn't hold back anymore and yelled out.
Sure enough, the Star Net is almighty!
At this moment, many Star Net members were still focused on the Training Arena.
When one of them gained insight from the Arena, completing his Acquired energy, and after the news spread that he had broken through to a master by practicing innate energy, no one could sit still.
Innate Realm (Awakening Realm)!
Whether in the Star Net or the outside world, warriors at this level were considered strong. There were millions of people in City No. 17, but only a few dozen Awakening Realm warriors were known.
According to the person who reached this realm, he hadn't been in the Star Net for long.
This immediately ignited excitement among everyone.
Of course, no one knew that behind this person's newfound fame was the risk of nearly exhausting his family's wealth.
After all, cultivation requires resources.
Unlike those relying on family wealth like the Ban family, most people had to depend on diligence if they wanted to improve their strength.
"The ten hours of free time are over, and I don't know what to do next."
"It's impossible to go hunting, and there's no other way to earn trade points..."
What about... trying underground black boxing?
Li Qi frowned, thinking about how to continue improving quickly.
If you asked who was the hottest in the Star Net, it was undoubtedly him. When he could still go hunting not too long ago, he quickly boosted his power by relying on near-sleepless hunting sprees.
Unfortunately, that channel no longer existed.
Li Qi was very dissatisfied with the training speed that had slowed for some time but couldn't find a solution.
If this continued, wouldn't the gap between him and others widen even more in the future?
It was better to try participating in underground black boxing in the gray zone of City No. 17, earn some money for training, and not waste his great talent.
Like Li Qi, some other Star Net members faced the same dilemma.
Seeing this, Long Chen was inspired with a new idea.
"Why not redesign the Training Arena to follow the model of underground black boxing?"
"Let Star Net members fight each other, and you can also bet with trade points, offering some rewards at the same time."
"In this way, they'll not only be able to continue honing their actual combat skills but also allow those with strong combat abilities to rise quickly."
"Add the combat feature to the Training Arena!"
