Chapter 31 - Level Up
"Of course, it won't increase this easily. Do you expect a single pure dark energy crystal can improve your innate ability?" Daniel scolded Mike seeing a foolish expression on his face. He pointed at other crystals and said "Try absorbing all of them."
Mike nods his head and absorbed the energy from the second crystal. Although he could feel the slight change in his innate ability, it still didn't improve. Without any hesitation, he absorbed the energy from another crystal.
Suddenly, he looked at Daniel and asked with a suspicious expression "These aren't the fake crystals, right?"
"Of course not!" While denying Mike's question, he took out four more crystals and said "I didn't expect you would improve your innate ability on your own. Although you improved your innate ability, unless I see the proof with my own eyes you can't join King's Academy."
Mike nodded his head. He didn't care whether they will let him join or not. He understands his innate ability can be improved and that's it. Of course, the question would be the amount of energy required to upgrade his innate ability.
To awaken E-Rank talent, he had to go through the awakening ceremony three times. As for why he didn't awaken F-Rank talent with a low amount of energy, he didn't understand. But now, he can find the amount of energy absorbed by him increased each time.
When he absorbed the first crystal energy, he couldn't absorb all of it. He could only absorb sixty to seventy percent. So he was hoping, he could absorb a hundred percent energy from remaining after the fourth crystal.
This is why there weren't any abnormalities in his previous awakening ceremony. After he started absorbing the fifth crystal, he finally let out a satisfied smile. This time, he absorbed a single bit of energy from the crystal.
At the same time, an abnormality occurred in his body. Suddenly, his Divine Sun Body also started absorbing dark energy. At this moment, the energy got evenly divided between his Divine Sun Body and Brute Force.
Feeling this, his smile disappeared and his expression sank. If this were to continue, he wouldn't be able to upgrade his brute force and that means he will miss the chance to join King's Academy. He couldn't help but look at Daniel and ask "Umm…. Do you have any more crystals?"
"Boy, do you think pure dark energy crystals are cabbages? Do you know how much this costs? Ten million, one crystal costs ten million dollars. Eight crystals are the maximum number of crystals I can take out." Daniel yelled at Mike when he asked for more crystals.
Even if is rich, he can't casually take out ten million dollars without restriction. Hearing his words, Mike's face sank deeply. Previously, he didn't think it would cost so much. He has twenty-five million and so he can only pay for two crystals.
But most shocking was Daniel. Mike didn't expect Daniel would use eighty million dollars for him, betting on an uncertain future. Mike couldn't help but admire Daniel. At this moment, he closed his eyes and took a long breath before releasing it.
He slowly moved his hand to the sixth crystal and did something he never thought he would do.
Dominate, dominate his Divine Sun Body. At this moment, he began to control his Divine Sun Body, without letting it a chance to absorb energy. Others also noticed his abnormalities but didn't say anything.
After he touched the sixth crystal, his eyes were shut.
'Control the energy, control the flow, and dominate the ability. Divine Sun Body, an arrogant and heavenly talent, but now you belong to me. So, you must listen to me.'
It wasn't easy. It's like when you finish twenty push-ups and your body no longer wants to continue. At this moment, you mustn't give up. Because if you can succeed at this moment, finish thirty push-ups, then you would be able to forty.
Because this was the breaking point. Once you succeed here, you can succeed everywhere. Mike was in similar condition. He wants his Brute Force to absorb the energy but his Divine Sun Body was trying to steal that energy.
At this moment, he understood if he let the Divine Sun Body do as it wants, he would never be able to control it ever again. But to stop this divine body was a hard job. It was just like the moment where you need a lot of willpower to continue.
But there a certain problem. Mike had no willpower. To be exact, he never wanted some sort of supremacy or immense strength, he just wanted adventure. And maybe because of this, he was able to hold on. Gritting his teeth, he kept reminding himself.
'King's Academy, a cave filled with geniuses, wasting a single moment could be devastating. I promised myself to live a life filled with adventures and excitement. If I give up now, I wouldn't be able to live that life.'
At this moment, Mike felt a burst of confidence. He doesn't know where this confidence was coming from. But he understands, this was the confidence he required. At this moment, he completely suppressed his Divine Sun Body.
All the energy absorbed from the crystals flowed into his core, merging with the source of innate ability. His core can suck dark energy from the surroundings and his own body. These kinds of energies merge his body and temper his strength.
Once his strength increases, the remaining energy merges with the innate ability source and turned into ability energy. The most mysterious part of the innate ability source is its function to turn pure energy into a dilute form of energy
Dilute Form of energy contains huge volume to fill his core. Once his core is filled, it will evolve and each evolution would make the space inside the core larger. This why the rank of the ability matters a lot. E-Rank Brute Force can improve his strength by 5 but D-Rank Brute Force can improve his strength by 10.
There is a huge difference. And this difference comes from the purity of ability energy. Even if you are an S-Rank, you won't break through each day or once a week even if you can. Why? Because if a person breakthrough with a low level of purity in his dilute form of energy, his core evolution won't be much effective.
But if a person breakthrough with a high level of purity in his dilute form, his core evolution would be much more effective, improving the size of a space by ten or even twenty times. Not just space, but also physical strength.
An S-Rank wouldn't try to break through in three hours with sixty percent of purity which is about three-fifth of the purity of original energy. Instead, he would take an entire day to break through with over a hundred percent of purity.
This is the difference between S-Rank and A-Rank. This is the exact reason why Daniel was so willing to spend over eighty million dollars just to prove if Mike's innate ability can evolve. A-rank has a limit and that hundred percent.
The purity of dilute energy can reach up to the purity of original energy for A-Rank innate ability. Of course, it takes time and patience. But S-Rank can break that limit. They can go beyond a hundred percent which makes the limit non-existent.
When Mike finished absorbing the energy from the sixth crystal, his hand touched the seventh. After two minutes, a powerful energy wave burst out of his body. At this moment, a smile appeared on his lips because his innate ability finally reached C-Rank.
At the same time, the remaining energy entered his body and another core was gradually emerging at his right arm. At this moment, he was finally breaking into the second stage. But suddenly, an idea rang in his mind.
He moved his hand to the last crystal and sucked the energy from that crystal. Daniel also saw this but didn't stop. Because at this moment, his mind was flying with happiness. As for Mike, he was sucking the energy from the last crystal to evolve his Divine Sun Body.
When Mike allowed it to absorb energy that had entered his body, the Divine Sun Body began to madly devour it without any consent. Although Mike didn't stop it, he didn't allow the Divine Sun Body to completely absorb the energy from his body.
After all, he was still breaking into the second stage. At this moment, his body was going under a tremendous change. After a short moment, he moved his thought and a screen panel appeared in front of his eyes. The screen that only he can see.

'System, one last time 'Superman or Symbol of Peace'?' Looking at his status, Mike couldn't help but ask.
"God of Sex" But he still got the same reply.
