Chapter 110: Upgrades, And Upgrades!
The Spirit Pool forming a Cooter Clan’s body occupies his body’s volume. And based on his volume, it is divided by the Prana Capacity it grants, resulting in the quantity of Spirit Pool the Cooter Clansman has to consume to elevate his Prana Capacity by one unit.
For the Inertial Waves Spirit Pool, approx 20 millilitres of it were necessary to elevate Torq’s Prana capacity by one unit. He had prepared exactly that much for consumption and managed to succeed.
The Narlakk Pet funnelled pollen into Torq’s mouth after using Mystic Mist Art to turn it into a form his body could digest the easiest.
It first focused on his digestive system, ensuring it could operate with basic capabilities, enough to keep generating Prana. Its pollen rapidly influenced Torq’s body, using its influence to forcefully keep the organs functional, even the damaged ones.
This will indeed worsen the damage to the organs. However, the Narlakk Pet only focused on kickstarting Torq’s Prana generation. Once that begins in full swing, his Prana will gradually heal through all the damage.
There was only one unit of Prana in his Spirit Container at the moment, which was working overtime. Thankfully, it was a Silver Grade Prana, and hence, its healing capabilities were higher.
The Narlakk Pet manually aided digestion and blood flow throughout the body, stressing the latter’s blood vessels. Thanks to its efforts, a second unit of Prana was produced by Torq’s Spirit Container.
Under the Narlakk Pet’s influence, the first unit of Prana was focused on improving the conditions of the digestive system, making the digestion process a tad better. The third unit of Prana was generated a tad faster, upon which the second unit of Prana in the Spirit Container was used to heal the digestive system by another level.
Hours passed in such a fashion, after which the Narlakk Pet no longer had to manually perform all functions in Torq’s body. His digestive system was fully functional now.
So, as long as it continued to pour medicines down his belly, his recovery process will proceed without hiccups.
By now, the Narlakk Pet was absolutely exhausted too, having been absolutely taxing itself with intricate control using psychokinesis, of more than five Spirit Weapons at the same time.
Having used most of its cores, its capabilities had already been reduced. And having to make such intricate manoeuvres taxed its mind and rapidly consumed through its reserves.
Hence, the Narlakk Pet had to voraciously consume its pollen and digest it to generate Prana, absolutely taxing its body in the process.
Even though it retained the same intelligence and sentience as the original, the Narlakk Pet only harnessed its capabilities based on commands from Torq. At present, he only gave it commands.
But in the future, once his understanding and expertise regarding the Narlakk’s abilities surpass its own, then he might straight up take full control of the reins. The choice was with Torq.
The Narlakk Pet continued its function without rest, for that was what it had been commanded to do. A few more hours later, its mind got forcefully shut down from overexertion.
Another hour later, as his stomach got empty, Torq gained consciousness, “Urgh!”
He felt a tad tired, but his body seemed to be bursting with greater vitality than before, ’So, this is what it means to be a Silver Grade existence.’
The Inertial Waves Spirit Pool granted the user a Prana Capacity of 3201 and a lifespan of 598 years. When Torq reaches the peak of the Body Stage, this will be his Prana capacity and lifespan.
If he were to enter the Life Stage, his Prana capacity will keep increasing, reaching 6401 at the peak of the 2-Life Stage, 9603 at the peak of the 3-Life Stage, and so on, reaching a whopping 32010 units at the peak of the 10-Life Stage.
His lifespan would remain fixed at 598 years.
With a Spirit Container built for one unit, Torq only gained a fraction of the lifespan. His appearance wouldn’t change until he builds his body enough that the gained lifespan exceeds his mortal self’s lifespan.
From that point onwards, he’ll keep growing younger and younger until he matches the growth stage of a living being with a lifespan of 598 years.
“Let’s drink something first.” He consumed another vial of medicine, and once he felt Prana trickling into his Spirit Container, he activated his power to create a tiny swirl of ivory water before him.
Primary Nature–Inertial Waves Dominance!
It uses psychokinesis to make the Spirit Weapon–limited to fluids–act independent from its surroundings while maintaining a state of inertia.
Basically, the swirl of water before him would, as long as he supplies it with Prana, never interact with the surrounding air. This means no air resistance, not being pulled down by gravity, etc.
It wouldn’t interact with the surroundings. And in this independent state, it’ll continue to swirl nonstop.
To test it, Torq broke off a small piece of Gentle Coral and threw it into the swirl, watching the projectile pretty much behave like it hit a wall.
A moment’s thought later, he threw the projectile again, and this time, he stopped supplying Prana for an instant, during which the projectile made contact with the swirl.
Once he resumed Prana supply, the swirl tried to assume its original shape and motion, and in the process, shattered the Gentle Coral into pieces before pushing it out of its space of action. ’It naturally retains such properties. The amount of Prana I consume is a fraction of what I would have consumed to achieve a similar result using regular water.’
The ivory fluid he produced could be maintained like a wheel, and with a limited supply of Prana to it, would allow Torq to travel farther distances, ’It’s incredibly energy-efficient. And I can think of many ways to use it in battles.’
Similar to the hydrophobic property oil displays to not interact with water, the Inertial Waves Spirit Pool behaves towards the external environment. And the key to activating this property was the supply of Prana, which basically acted as a switch.
The natural amount of force it generates to maintain its inertia itself was enough to destroy Gentle Coral. And if Torq wanted it to maintain its inertia against greater interference, he only had to increase his Prana supply.
“This truly scales up to higher levels.” He laughed and experimented with his newfound powers for a while more. And once he noticed the Narlakk Pet had recovered enough to begin working again, he made it gather pollen.
“Let’s finish it all.” He stared at the shelf of medicines, “And if it feels insufficient, I can always steal more from nearby cabins.”
’Before this day’s count finishes, I need to completely use up the storage lantern to produce as much Inertial Waves Spirit Pool as possible.’ He thought, “And then, I’ll find Runthral.”
“He owes me some fruits.”
