Chapter 548 Let“s go Power Testing!
"But who could it be? Is it the Endless Monarch? Asteria? The Great TimeMaster? Or is this just a fluke..."
Alex tried to find a clue regarding the new knowledge inside his mind, but not matter what he did, he was unable to find anything that pertains about its source.
It was as if the one who placed this knowledge had done measures to hide their tracks, something that is stumping Alex right now.
"...Forget about it. If this person does not want to be known, then I will let that person off for now. Consider this as my payment for the help that he or she gave me." Realizing that there’s no way for him to know his hidden ’benefactor’, Alex had decided to let things go for now, since trying to investigate more will just be a waste of time.
"Instead of looking for someone that I do not know, I think I should just focus more on my upgraded powers. After all, my upgraded Immortal Cultivation and Superhuman Power needs a lot of testing now..."
So with a grin similar to a child that was about to play with his new toys, Alex began to activate his his newly upgraded powers.
"I wonder how strong I really am already..."
*********************
30 MINUTES LATER.
For this span of time, Alex has first tried out his Immortal Cultivation Power. He was certainly not disappointed, as this test proved to be well within his liking.
"So for my Immortal Cultivation Power, my Dao Cores were working just as they were expected to. In fact, they’re actually much better than my previous calculations..." Alex thought with a smile as he stared at the devastation that he made on the walls of his room. "Hehehe, with this kind of power, I think that the quality of my Dao Cores are amongst the best in the Immortal Cultivation World...."
What makes the Dao Core Stage special lies on the fact that its practitioners can ’store’ abilities on their Dao Cores. As long as these abilities were something that a practitioner can use with their current qi essence, then they can store it in their Dao Core.
These abilities however must be related to the Daos comprehended by a practitioner, which means that someone who was a Fire Dao Core can only store abilities related to Fire. Someone who has an Ice Dao Core cannot store Fire-related abilities, or else they will quickly die.
Aside from the Dao compatibility, the quality of the Dao Core also affects the abilities that can be stored. The higher the quality of a Dao Core is, the better the abilities that can be stored in it...
At one look, this new feature granted by the Dao Cores might seem inconsequential. But for those who were used to the combat styles of an Immortal Cultivator, the ’ability-storing’ feature of the Dao Cores are actually useful.
Now that abilities can just be stored on the Dao Core, there is no more need to chant incantations for these abilities. One can just activate these abilities straight from their Dao Cores, which will make their combat capabilities much more efficient compared to before.
Alex knew of this fact, hence his excitement on testing his Dao Cores out. But once he had tried this feature, he found out that he actually gained much more than what he expected...
"I already comprehended several spells related to Duality Daos before, and all of them work rather well when I was in the Foundation Establishment Stage. But now that I am in the Dao Core Stage, these abilities did not only get ’recorded’, their effects had also been improved!"
Alex muttered these words to himself as he stared at a certain hole in the floor, which was formed when he activated an ability from his Light-Dark Dao Core.
Alex could only let out a gulp as he remembered the ethereal light that shot out of his Light-Dark Dao Core earlier, when then proceeded to annihiliate the portion of the floor beneath him.
Such kind of power was unexpected to Alex, as this beam of light was not this strong before!
With that realization, Alex then proceeded to activate his other Dao Core abilities. And just like what happened with the Light-Dark Core, all the other abilities have been strengthened too!
"The Ice-Fire Specter that I released earlier was thrice its former size, and its viciousness became more pronounced. As for the Space-Time Well that I summoned above me, it was now powerful enough to warp the space by 90 degrees..." Alex said with relish, making him sound extremely satisfied
Alex then began fixing all the rubbish that came out from his power testing, which were scattered around him like trash.
"Then there’s the Real-Unreal World, which I am able to maintain for a minute now. That’s much longer than my 10 second time before. As for my Life-Death Contract, I still have not tested it. Maybe I can try it on Queen Mother later..."
It took Alex a minute to fix all the debris that he made from the power testing, which created a pile as tall as him in the center of the room. Alex only shook his head upon seeing this, thinking that he will need to dispose this as discreetly as possible.
"So with all the testing that I made, I am sure that as of now, my Immortal Cultivation Power is firmly at the Third Stage. If I want it to get stronger, then I must get more Dao Cores and comprehend more Duality Daos..." Alex muttered while cupping his chin, making his statement sound actually serious.
"I don’t really need to worry about comprehending about new Duality Daos and abilities, since I have a lot of free time in this world. All that I have to do now is just let things flow, and my power will naturally grow..."
And with that, Alex ended his review of his Immortal Cultivation Power.
"Now that I am done with Immortal Cultivation, it is time for me to try out my Superhuman Power." Alex suddenly said as he looked at this hands with both trepidation and nervousness.
He seemed to be unsure on what to actually do right now, something that was made obvious by his next words.
"Even with all the knowledge that I just received about my upgraded Superhuman Power, I am still not sure if I can apply all those abilities already. After all, I just newly upgraded it..." Alex thought, with his mind still slightly dazed from the info dump earlier.
"If I do one wrong move here, I might do something messy, which is not good for me." Alex’s eyes then furrowed, which was followed by the emergence of a solemn expression on his face. "If I want to make this work well, then I need... to be really careful here. If I make one slip-up, my allies will surely start berating me. That must not happen at all cost!"
With this reminder present in his mind, Alex began to activate his Vibration Power.
"Huh, should I change the name of this power? Now that I see it, Vibration sounds a little... naughty."
*********************
30 MINUTES LATER.
"Wow, so that’s how powerful my Superhuman Power is? I did not expect the improvement... to be this drastic." Out of all the things that he can say, this sentence sums up the exact reaction that Alex has right now.
There’s no more apt way to express his reaction to his upgraded Superhuman Power, which has exceeded everything that Alex had thought of it!
"With its weak-ass usage before, my pre-upgrade Superhuman Power only gave me the strength equivalent to First Stage. But now that it has upgraded, my Superhuman Power actually gave me the power equivalent to a Peak Fifth Stage Being!" Alex seemed to not believe what he just said, although the evidence of his latest testing showed otherwise.
"If this is real, then this is the biggest upgrade that happened with all my powers! Upgrading from First Stage into Fifth Stage is one large jump of power, no matter which way you look at it!"
Within just 30 minutes of time, Alex was able to use his newfound knowledge to perform countless feats with his Vibration Power, all of which are leagues better compared to his temperature manipulation.
And just like what Alex said, all of these abilities combined made his Vibration Power have the strength equivalent to that of a Peak Fifth Stage Being!
All these feats had been recorded by Alex in his notes, something which he is planning to show to Alina and Asteria later. He must have been thinking of getting their opinions about these abilities, as if he wants them to also analyze the sudden improvement of his Superhuman Power.
As for what these abilities are, here they are, written in the order that Alex did it on his notes.
***************
ALEX’S NOTES:
ADVANCED TEMPERATURE MANIPULATION – Now, I can manipulate temperature up until their absolute limits. By stopping the vibration of atoms entirely, I can make an object reach the absolute zero temperature.
As for heating things up, I can heat them up until they reach the temperature comparable to that of a star. I am not really sure why I still can’t make things hotter beyond that, but that could be some kind of upper bound placed in my power...
SPACE-BASED VIBRATION – This is the real crux of this power. By just focusing on an object, I can make them vibrate to intense levels. This allows me to do countless things with these objects, as each objects had a different reaction regarding vibrations.
Most will usually break once they reach their vibration limit, while some can be used as a good weapon paired with vibration, I can also use space-based vibration to nullify certain attacks, as long as they have vibrations that I can manipulate...
TIME-BASED VIBRATION – I also discovered through theoretical testing that I, through some time shenanigans, can also vibrate back and forth in time. This means that if I wanted it, I could vibrate forward in the future, and then come back into the present, or sometimes even get vibrated back into the past.
This really sounds great, but I found out that right now, I can only vibrate up to at most 3 seconds of time. This means that I can only vibrate 3 seconds forwards into the future, or vibrate 3 seconds back in time.
That’s not a really good way to time-travel, but I can use that well in a fight...
WAVE CREATION – With this ability, I can create and manipulate waves of all types and sizes(Waves are products of vibration after all). This includes earthquake waves, sound waves, electromagnetic waves, and etc.
All these waves are under my control now, and I can do whatever the f**k I want with them!
CONCLUSION - Hmm... with my Vibration Power being upgraded this way, the current layout of all my abilities has changed too. Now, the layout of my abilities is like this:
[Sixth Stage Power] – Abyss Magic, Esper Ability, Conqueror’s Aura
[Fifth Stage Power] – Vibration Superhuman Power.
[Third Stage Power] – Immortal Cultivation.
Damn, this line-up is really impressive! I wonder if there someone as old as me that has this kind of power line-up too...
