“Hehe, I’m well prepared for this trial.”
In the room, Justin Welan confidently unzipped his backpack and dug his hand inside, pulling out a fist-sized blue crystal.
“Here, Jack, catch.” Justin tossed the crystal to Jack Clark.
“What is this…”
As soon as Jack caught the blue crystal, he felt a pure energy flowing within it, so rich that it was almost tangible.
However, unlike the Life Crystal, the attribute page had no reaction to this item.
Jack looked at Justin’s backpack: “Is this the good stuff you mentioned when you set off?”
“Yep.”
Justin grinned: “My brother sent me a few Blue Crystals after learning that 1 was coming here for the trial.”
“This is a better resource than the Energy Crystal Body. The energy contained within is more pure and abundant. Generally, only Sixth Layer Heaven cultivators use it.”
“You should know that as Second Layer cultivators, our True Strength is weak, and our refining speed is slow. When we introduce the crystal’s energy into our bodies, about 60% will evaporate and dissipate.”
“That’s why officials restrict low-level cultivators from using it, because it’s too wasteful.”
Jack asked curiously, “So isn’t using Blue Crystals for cultivation even more wasteful for you?”
Justin nodded, “Under normal conditions, that would be true. That’s why my brother coated these Blue Crystals with a special substance.”
“This substance acts like an insulator, preventing the flow of energy and only leaving a tiny, nearly undetectable hole, which is this white dot.”
“With this setup, we won’t draw out too much energy during cultivation, and the waste rate can be maintained at around 30%, which is way more cost-effective than exchanging Energy Crystal Bodies.”
“On top of that, my brother also got me a special resource that can change my physique. As soon as 1 absorb it, my fighting power will skyrocket.”
“Hehe, Jack, 1 wasn’t joking with you. This trial is the beginning of me, Justin Welan, dominating the world.”
Even Jack couldn’t help but be envious at this moment.
Look at that. This was the proper way for a second-generation successor: leaving for a trial well-prepared with full sets of resources.
Such treatment… it’s just too enviable. With a sigh, Jack casually threw the Blue Crystal back to Justin.
Justin quickly caught the Blue Crystal and looked at Jack puzzledly: “Jack, what are you doing? That’s for you.”
“For me? No, you keep it, it’s too valuable.” Jack was surprised, and immediately shook his head in refusal.
A regular crystal at a 30% discount would cost five points. A Blue Crystal would cost at least thirty or forty points each. Although they had a good relationship, Jack felt that it wasn’t quite at that level yet.
Justin nonchalantly said, “My brother gave me several of these Blue Crystals. One is enough for me to cultivate for two months; I can’t use them all.”
“Besides, we’ve gone through a lot together, and we’re good brothers. What’s a single Energy Crystal Body?” Justin forcibly shoved the Blue Crystal into Jack’s hand.
Looking at the valuable Blue Crystal in his hand, Jack bitterly smiled, “Justin, your generosity is putting me in a tough spot, after all, we’re just classmates.”
“Jack, you should know that this kind of resource doesn’t mean much to me, but it’s important for you right now, so there’s no need to refuse.”
“You should save your Contribution Points to exchange for the necessary matching resources, maximizing your results.”
“I consider you a brother. Since the first day of school, 1 felt a strong connection with you.”
Justin said seriously, “My brother used to say that if you meet a like-minded classmate in high school, you should sincerely become friends because that person might become a brother you can trust to have your back.”
“The path of cultivation is long and arduous, and no one can guarantee smooth sailing. Having one or two or a few brothers to support each other makes the journey easier and less lonely.”
“So if you regard me as a brother, just accept it. When you make it big, just remember to leave a share for me. Although, 1 feel that possibility is slim since I’m about to take off.” Justin finished speaking, and then chuckled.
His words left Jack slightly speechless, and in the end, Jack nodded and accepted the Blue Crystal. If he kept refusing, it would seem insincere, so he could find another way to repay Justin later.
“That’s more like it, we’re all men, let’s keep it simple.” Justin laughed when he saw Jack accept the Blue Crystal, then continued explaining.”Actually, if it weren’t for attending this Koroya Trial, my brother wouldn’t have given me these advanced resources, and the official wouldn’t have released the Energy Crystal Bodies.”
“It’s because our body strength is not enough; we can’t digest these high-purity energies.”
“But we have experienced two battles in the past two days. When faced with life-threatening situations, our body’s genes will instinctively release information to become stronger.”
Jack Clark narrowed his eyes: “So, what Matt Watkins mentioned, the potential stimulation?”
“Exactly, in order to ‘survive,’ both the body and the subconscious will desire to become stronger, absorbing all the energy and resources that are beneficial to oneself to the extreme.”
“Under such circumstances, as long as ‘energy’ can keep up, our cultivation speed will be faster than during our time at school.”
“This is also why the school requires all students to participate in Mutated Beast Trials after their sophomore year, but we just got ahead this time.”
“Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages in this situation. For example, we just broke through to the Second Layer Heaven, and maybe we will die at the hands of advanced cultivators tomorrow.”
“So, Jack, work hard to become stronger.”
After reminding Jack Clark, Justin Welan took out another Blue Crystal and a yellow crystal from his bag, holding one in each hand he sat on the bed and started to cultivate with great effort.
That’s the advantage of having high-level cultivators at home. Jack felt a bit envious.
Justin Welan once mentioned that his brother was a high-level cultivator. According to the division of high-level cultivators with Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Layer Heaven, his brother’s strength should be at least above the Seventh Layer Heaven.
In this case, not to mention resources, but even some of the cultivation experience would be much more advantageous than Jack, who is just an ordinary person, making their path of cultivation smoother.
Of course, Jack didn’t feel jealous, after all, it was what they deserved.
Just like his own family, when he becomes a high-level cultivator in a few years, when Glenn Clark enters high school, he will prepare everything for Glenn too.
Moreover, Jack felt that it’s not just Justin Welan, but Mandy Leinster, Crystal Leinster, and Matt Watkins must have been prepared for the trial as well.
Only those from ordinary families, like him, would be completely ignorant of the truth about this trial and unprepared.
Or even if he knew all this, he wouldn’t be able to prepare anything. There’s just no way to do it; his family is neither rich nor well-connected.
As for why the school teachers didn’t tell them this, it’s unnecessary.
After experiencing two battles, anyone would strive hard to cultivate. There is no need for reminders since auxiliary cultivation energy crystals can be obtained on credit beforehand, with no delays.
Feeling emotional, Jack also sat cross-legged, holding the Blue Crystal and began cultivating.
Boom! The moment Jack started to use the Dragon Elephant Power, he felt a vast amount of energy inside the Blue Crystal being disturbed, wanting to rush out crazily.
Then, just as Justin Welan said, the solid coating blocked that energy, leaving only a tiny, almost invisible ‘hole’ for the energy to pass through.
Under the suction force of the Dragon Elephant Power, a strand of tiny but pure energy flowed into Jack’s body. When it touched his True Strength, it instantly exploded, and the dense energy spread and filled his entire body. Gasping!!
The energy was too dense. Jack felt that with each breath he took, his True Strength grew a little more.
The True Strength circulation had an enhanced effect on strengthening his physique, and all his muscles and bones were more eager than ever to absorb energy at a speed several times faster than before.
At this rate, Jack felt that he might be able to break through to the Third Layer Heaven in just four to five months instead of over a year under normal conditions, even without using Attribute points.
Moreover, this was just for him, whose talent was average. It might be even faster for geniuses.
But he cannot refine it all at once. Jack crazily operated his Dragon Elephant Power, trying to refine all the energy inside his body.
However, just as Justin Welan said, their True Strength was weak, and much of the Heavenly Energy in their bodies could not be refined in time. This energy overflowed from the body and then dissipated into the air.
At this moment, Jack, who had never experienced such a wealthy battle before, felt extremely distressed, as it was too wasteful.
This time, he cultivated for almost three hours until his spirit felt tired. Then, he and Justin Welan took turns taking baths and went to ‘rest’ early.
In the middle of the night, Jack woke up on time, and his consciousness plunged into the Heavy Armored Beast. He slowly crawled out of the cave and entered the river to look for a midnight snack….
