Chapter 145 The Power Of Technology
The same applied to the Supreme Martial Hall. Dante’s high stats and plenty of blood energy had hindered his growth in the Body Tempering stage because his body was already too strong to be easily tempered compared to a normal fellow whose stats would rise crazily in the body tempering stage due to fortification.
However, that problem came to an end in the Martial Warrior realm. Now that he was focusing on turning Blood Energy into blood Qi, his advantages were surfacing. For others, their blood energy varied but was barely enough, so they had to supplement with resources.
That was why people joined places like the Supreme Martial Hall and why things like the free bowl of blood energy soup each month were very important to outer disciples. Technically, with enough resources, one could mass-produce either late-stage Martial Warriors or early-stage Martial Blood realm fighters.
Hm… then wouldn’t it be better for Dante to create his own faction using the Enhanced Energy Elixir and take over the True Martial World? It was an easy-to-produce resource and worked leagues better than the clumsy blood energy soup.
Well, no. It was a complete waste of time. It would only be able to make up to early-stage Martial Blood realm warriors and would require years of training. Dante could literally head back to his new base and mass-produce androids with higher specs than the strongest martial blood realm warrior and then sneak them into the True Martial World with his Quantum Depository to raze it down.
Wait, so why wasn’t he doing that? Even if it was not very useful to control a quantum world, he could at least harvest the resource that could achieve magical effects, not to mention the stuff that Beatrice’s mom needed, right?!
Well, yes. He could easily do that, starting right now even. He had excitedly discussed the idea with Beatrice but as usual, she looked at him as if he were an idiot and then explained to him slowly something he forgot to factor in.
“My brother in Christ, those quantum worlds had owners. The Magus World and True Martial World belonged to the school, and the lesser quantum worlds belonging to various crops, and public creators had lower quality rules and weaker resources to power them.
There was a reason everyone craved the Eternal Academy’s stuff and not just the Zero Gate, but even their Etraverse worlds. They were the best of the best in the entire universe just below the public world operated by the Prime Human Council as well as the Etraverse platform itself like the education world, the anime world, and more.
Dante got this far because he operated within the various quantum world’s rules and stayed under the radar. If he started doing things tyrannically as if he was the strongest and smartest in the universe, it would be easy to backfire because no matter how smart you thought you were, there were always variables you hadn’t considered.
Anyway, Dante had made great progress in just one hour of training at the Martial Warrior realm, but a huge amount too!
?Physical Powers: Raging Blood Halberd Technique (Martial Warrior, Entry-level 85%).?
From Entry level 1% to Entry level 85% in just one hour was mind-bogglingly crazy! An average person, even with unlimited blood energy soup and the best martial art, would take at least 2-3 months per sub-stage of the Martial Warrior realm.
The only downside was that the energy that Dante had just replenished was kinda empty. As such, he had to go and sleep in his pool again in order to recharge and couldn’t even practice his knight breathing technique as that required energy too!
Since he had 3 days, Dante sent a Quantum Marker on the ship, which was perfectly doable since it was in a contained and stable space, then returned to Earth right away. Before he could walk into the pool, Roll ran over with one tube of the Enhanced Energy Elixir and a small syringe of the Quantum Aetherium Conduit.
Remembering that he made his bots manufacture one of each for him to try, he felt that this was as good a time as any. He opened the tube of the elixir and downed it in one gulp, smiling with satisfaction as it tasted like Canada Dry ginger ale, slightly chilled too.
He felt his blood energy specifically boil up and become active, making Dante’s eyes light up. He immediately began practicing his Raging Blood Halberd technique right there, making Roll tilt her head in confusion.
After about an hour of practice, the surging energy died down peacefully, and Dante came to a stop. His expression was strange as he glanced at the empty tube with a helpless and amused expression.
How was this a significant increase in effectiveness? If the blood energy soup was filthy swamp water, then the enhanced energy elixir was like holy water bestowed from heaven. They were simply incomparable.
Dante needed to drink like 30 bowls of level 4 blood energy soup minimum when at Body Tempering and would probably have swallowed over a hundred at the Martial Warrior realm. Not to mention that such soup led to latent problems with impurities.
The reason he took a whole hour to progress to 85% was that there was so much dirt in his blood energy due to relying on blood energy soup for the entire Body Tempering realm.
However, in this one hour Dante spent, he was at peak energy throughout, as if he had just started, and there was not even a lick of impurity. As such, his practice was disgustingly smooth, and he had made astonishing progress compared to before!
?Physical Powers: Raging Blood Halberd Technique (Martial Warrior, Mastery level 44%).?
From Entry level 85% to Mastery level 44%, that was a huge jump of two whole sub-realms, Minor Accomplishment, and Greater Accomplishment!
In just one hour, Dante had cut more than 8 months of progress away like it was butter being separated by a hot knife. This was all due to the Enhanced Energy Elixir because Dante knew that recharging his energy to full using the pool would not have achieved this.
This was the importance of specialized resources. The energy that the pool replenished was comprehensive and affected all aspects of Dante’s life, being used for sustenance, training, or even the two different physical powers.
However, the elixir’s energy only worked on blood energy and could not be used for sustenance nor the knight breathing method. Dante was kinda saddened that there was no similar special resource for Knights that was naturally produced or easy to acquire.
The Soulforged Steel was used for their armor and could condense as well as allow life energy from the life seed to flow through it smoothly, but it did not consciously or even passively increase life energy. To do that would require a potion from a wizard and there were more than a few that could achieve it with varying effects.
Dante knew that the Celestial Arcanists offered more than a few types to their practicing wizards. With his master’s power, he could likely get even a 4th Rank (which equates to Elite Wizards) Potion of Vitality, which could help even Peak Knights, much less a Beginner Knight like him.
If he could get it analyzed…
Anyway, as for the Quantum Aetherium Conduit, Dante didn’t use it because it wasn’t something he needed. As long as his stats kept rising, his spiritual power would generate and allow him to condense and breakthrough in one fell swoop.
As such, he kept it for now. If he could, he would capture one peasant boy or girl in the Magus World and give them this conduit.
In fact… Dante began to rub his chin with amusement. Why not play a small game? He would give this peasant a slave AI chip like what he gave Aisha and then have it mimic the almighty system, showing him his stats and let him think that the conduit was his ‘cheat’ as it would allow him to surpass even the most talented mage in that world.
Then the ‘system’ which was the AI chip would give him tasks to do. He could totally let this little fellow set up his faction in that world while he was busy with other things and even gather resources that he needed.
Since Dante dared to call himself the God of Technology, he had to do things you would expect a God of Technology to do, and that was creating systems. At least, that was only one of the things he would do. .
He could also do the same for the True Martial World using this Enhanced Energy Elixir. The only question was how to raise these pseudo protagonists?
Should they take the exciting route and offend everybody, then rise up through their corpses by killing and clan extinction or should they take the overly cautious/cowardly route where they hide in one place to cultivate and grow while using a book of curses to attack their foes?
