Earthling in Uncharted Dimensions

Chapter 243: Ruin Expedition (7) Majestic Mana Mastery

And the Middle Eastern delicacy of Earth really shook the students to their core!

Without many in-depth explanations, Lee Shen cut short the recipe of Shawarma. The students sat on their beds in wonder as they heard this otherworldly deliciousness. Even when he was narrating, Lee could see a few students drooling.

Lee was aware that as a survival skill, cooking is very important in the life of any person. He only felt happiness as he shared passed an Earthly delicacy's recipe.

"Ahem... Who were those who could feel saturated?"

As soon as the recipe narration ended, Lee cleared his throat and raised his voice. The familiar hands rose in the air and Lee asked them to come forward.

Lee was also seated on his bedding as he was narrating the beauty of Shawarma. He quickly diverted the attention as he was also caught in the steady stream of words.

"Exel, Dambo, Selene. Come forward."

Lee asked the boys and girl to come forward and they promptly did. He gestured them to sit down as Lee was also sitting cross-legged.

Lee took out a potion bottle and drank its content in a gulp. The students assumed it to Mana Potion as Lee released a rather dense aura of Mana to the inside of the tent.

But in actuality, that drink was nothing more than water in a Potion bottle. The coloured water acted as a decoy which nullified any questions.

"All of you should absorb as much as you can. If you can step up into the Official Level Mana Mastery before entering the Ruin, then our chances of success will increase substantially."

30 million Essence disappeared from the reserve and 60 million Mana appeared in the Foresight's interface.

With a single thought, a gust of Mana flowed out of Lee. It began to fill the inside of the tent with its pressure, and students could feel it surrounding them from all sides.

It took the students a few dozen seconds to initiate an active absorption. The unexperienced aura of thick Mana around them made them confused for a few seconds.

But the aura soon began to dissipate as the 13 students absorbed the overflowing aura. With another couple of seconds, the density of Mana in the air thinned.

'Release 500 Mana per second.'

The release rate was set and students steadily absorbed the energy signatures. The students who were seated next to him were all having their eyes closed, while Lee with his eyes open-wide was inspecting the students.

---

[That was quick!]

A few minutes later, Selene and Dambo began to show ripples of the breakthrough. Lee Sen saw those sitting next to them sensing this ripples. 4 or 5 students opened their eyes as they felt the sensation brushing against their being.

"Do not lose focus. Those that are at the verge can breakthrough. Those who are yet to completely saturate, try not to rush."

Lee spoke in a soft voice and it was gentle to the students' ears. Those that distracted themselves by the sipples regained their track and continued to meditate.

All the 13 students could feel that their shallow Mana pool had suddenly become slightly deeper. A few of them were able to guess that the reason was the continuous walking for about 2 hours with the active observation of their surroundings.

The physical activity may seem simple at a glance but it affected the students favourably. This simple action had enabled Mana to go deep into their bones and blood and saturate to a higher scale.

To Lee Shen and Hudson, this was an expected result as just by simply sensing and voluntarily rerouting Mana in their bodies, the students had great changes in their physique.

[It was a good thing that the academy did not promote these children in ranking up in mastery. If these sitting ducks were to try and breakthrough, their body would either crumble or explode from the resultant changes.]

Lee did not comment on Hudson's opinion but said inside-

'Hudson, increase the Mana output to 650.'

Lee increased the output to a higher number to support the three at the verge of stepping into Official Mastery. Hudson closely observed Dambo, Exel and Selene and constantly spread his senses to find any potential distress in them. Fortunately, he did not find any.

[How much do you about the relevance of higher Mana Mastery levels?]

[Well... he only know how much I have told him.]

'Is there anything special about Mana Mastery which we are unaware of?'

Hudson rubbed his chin before speaking anything. After a few seconds, he spoke-

[You both know the 10 Qi Cultivation realms, right?

The Mana Mastery is essentially the Mana variant of the Cultivation, but with a relatively higher barricade to cross and a very larger amount of Mana to amass.

In a comparative study, a Rookie Mastery adventurer is equivalent to 1st stage Body Strengthening realm cultivator.

When the adventurer steps up into Official Mastery, he/she is equivalent to a 2nd stage Qi Accumulation cultivator.]

Outside, Lee was expressionless. His face was tranquil and plain. But on the inside, he was surprised. He did expect some enhancements, but the upgradations worth of two whole major cultivation was unexpected!

The surprise and astonishment quickly died down and Hudson continued-

[When a cultivator steps into Immortal class, he/she would attract the Heavenly Tribulation, and that naturally prevents most cultivators from further advancing. It is not because of the lack of resource, but the lack of conviction that they could withstand the might of the Tribulation Lightning.

Stepping into the Saint Mastery Level also triggers a similar event. It invokes a particular phenomenon called Star Polygon where the adventurer would be surrounded by intense bright beams of concentrated light.

The form taken by the arrangement of the light pillars is directly related to the adventurer's talent and affinity of Mana. Higher the polygon edges are, higher would be the respect received from the entire world!]

D could not help but ask why.
