Earthling in Uncharted Dimensions

Chapter 244: Ruin Expedition (8) Star Polygon

D could not help but ask why.

[How does that single event accumulate the respect from continents?!]

Dnekewy was a person who achieved the title 'Dimension Sovereign' through Qi Cultivation. Thus the advantages of Mana Mastery was almost completely unknown to him.

[The Star Polygon is not a simple array of light pillars formed around an adventurer. It holds an entirely different space and time profile inside the polygon.

The Star Polygon is the Mana variant of heaven's oppression. In the theory of Mana, there are no heaven and flaunting immortals.

There is only the highest power. The Power of Stars!]

'Cosmic Power!'

Lee immediately mumbled in his mind and Hudson was surprised by this sudden utterance of the term. D creased his brows and expressed visible confusion.

[Cosmic Power is one way to put it. But it is much more majestic and is beyond description.

When a Star Polygon is invoked by someone who wants to step into the Saint Mastery level, the beams of light arrives from outer space and collides with the planet. The collision does not create causality as it is extremely gentle, contrary to its appearance.

But it sends a wave across the entire planet. This wave consists of the Mana signature of the adventurer and this peculiarity of Star Polygon makes the adventurer extremely famous.]

[Oh, so it is a planetary level advertisement event? Cool.]

'So the adventurer is known throughout the planet just by invoking a Star Polygon?'

[Invoking a Star Polygon is not a simple feat. One needs about 221,000 Mana to reach the Lord level Mastery. But the demand for Mana rises by 6 times, reaching 1,504,000 when it comes to the Saint Level Mastery.

Like Heavenly Tribulation, this is an automatic event. So it will find you wherever you are.]

'You mentioned that the Star Polygon have a different space and time profile in the inside.'

[Before I speak about that, I need to give a prologue about the Soul Trial.

The Soul Trial is what that happens inside the Star Polygon. At a glance, the Star polygon may seem like exerting an enormous pressure over the person's body, but you are wrong.

The Star Polygon pulls the soul of the invoker out of his/her body to conduct a test. As far as I know, there is nothing the soul needs to do once inside the Soul Trail.

From records, I came to know that the one inside the Soul Trial would feel like aeons and aeons have passed in front of their eyes. But in reality, hardly a day might have passed.

This has to do with the accelerated space-time profile inside the Star Polygon. But it does not make the adventurer age or die, rather makes him/her feel decades younger. I have also read about the testimonies of innumerous people saying that they felt as if brimming with energy and health.]

'So it is safe.'

[Absolutely. Contrary to the Heavenly Tribulation, the Star Polygon does not disqualify anyone and equally elevates everyone. But the humongous amount of Mana needed to invoke the event compensates this advantage.]

'In a planet with rare sightings of Qi abundant atmosphere and much rarer appearances of Mana abundant places, I understand what you are implying.'

A brief silence followed Lee Shen's words as D and Hudson kept their mouths shut while pondering.

*....*

A very faint wave swept past Lee and he focused on Selene. She was exhibiting her will to breakthrough and the Mana had filled every cell of her body to brim.

[Concentrate Mana around her. It will accelerate the process while providing a chamber to contain the intense ripples originating from the breakthrough.]

Lee flipped his arms and his fists drew shapes in the air. The next second, those that sat next to her could feel a dense Mana construct manifesting near them.

The almost translucent egg-like chamber covered Selene and her expression became solemn. She found that her body which was content with stock spells resisted the Mana coursing through her body. It was as if the sudden change happened within two weeks were unacceptable to it.

The resistance was sudden and should have overcome her will to step to Official Mastery if Lee Shen had not provided the buff. Within the egg, Selene serenely broke through!

Lee Shen slowly lifted the construct and let it dissipate to the atmosphere. The aura of the girl that exited after it's the disappearance was breathtaking to students.

"She broke through!"

"...just like that?!"

"We too can't dillydally."

Quite instantly, several muffled exclamations and conversations rose to the air. The content of the whisperings was audible to Lee and he found no reason to restrict them like a military barracks.

But he needed to streamline their focus back.

"Well done Selene. You have done a great job. Try to soak in the Mana around you and take rest."

Lee was brimming with happiness and his words were that of a proud father yet restricting himself from expressing love. Selene was very happy as she received a lot of help from Professor Lee. With her talents, it would have been impossible to achieve this feat.

She earnestly thanked Lee Shen for his help, to which he replied-

"It is my duty as a teacher."

The 13 students felt that they could achieve a great height if they are under the guidance of Lee. Their assumptions were not wrong, as the system was indeed a phenomenal assistant with innumerable applications.

The Mana output was lowered to 600 and the students drowned themselves in meditation. Through nostrils, mouth and every cell of their body, they absorbed vast quantities of pure Mana.

10 PM.

5,976,450 Essence harvested.

Though the eyes were closed, Lee saw the panel.

'Time flies.'

He opened his eyes and scanned the surroundings.

[These kids are monsters!]

D couldn't help but exclaim as he saw 4 students stepping into the Official Mastery level within 3 hours. He was flabbergasted by their quick advancements.

[You are mistaken, my friend. Those are not improvements.]
