"Oh, you're finally going to Break Through."
Mentor Orris was a male.
He knew that Ender's Bottleneck had loosened more than ten days ago, but he had not applied for a Breakthrough.
As a Mentor, he could not force a student to Break Through, because if anything unexpected happened, he could not bear the responsibility.
Mentor Orris took a box out of the refrigerator and placed it on his desk. "This is the Red Dew Pill you need for your Breakthrough. There are fifteen pills inside. See if that's enough. If not, you can apply for five more."
Hearing his Mentor say this, Ender naturally said, "I'll apply for five more to make it a round number."
Upon hearing this, Mentor Orris didn't mind, because as long as he asked, most students would naturally apply for five more Red Dew Pills, and he was already prepared.
He first put the box on his desk back, then took out another box emitting cold air. "This box contains twenty Red Dew Pills. You can take them with you after scanning the identification code on it with your communicator."
"Thank you, Mentor Orris."
Ender took the box, scanned the identification code with his communicator, then thanked him and prepared to leave, but just as he walked out of the office, he turned back.
Mentor Orris asked curiously, "Student Ender, do you need anything else?"
Ender scratched his head. "Mentor Orris, I want to apply for another set of Breakthrough resources."
"Apply for another set?"
Mentor Orris looked puzzled, but soon he realized that this student was a Spiritual Master.
"Are you planning to Break Through your body's physical quality to Planetary Level after your Spiritual Force Breaks Through to Planetary Level?"
"Yes," Ender nodded.
"Alright."
Mentor Orris agreed and took out a cold box. "After you apply for Breakthrough resources, a document will be sent to your communicator. I suggest you read it."
Upon hearing this, Ender nodded and thanked him, "Thank you, Mentor Orris."
"Go on, I wish you a powerful special ability after your physical quality Breaks Through to Planetary Level," Mentor Orris said.
Ender thanked him again, took the two sets of Breakthrough resources, and returned to his room to prepare for his Breakthrough to Planetary Level.
Back in his room, Ender placed the two sets of Breakthrough resources aside and sat cross-legged on the floor.
He opened his communicator and carefully checked the two newly received messages. He opened the message titled 'Spiritual Master Breakthrough Details'.
Looking at the information on his communicator, Ender thought to himself: "For a Spiritual Master to Break Through to Planetary Level, a portion of the Spiritual Force in the Sea of Consciousness needs to be compressed and condensed, then detonated when the Spiritual Force is about to transform from a liquid to a solid state.
"Even if the detonated Spiritual Force forms a singularity, it will draw all the Spiritual Force in the Sea of Consciousness into it, and what I need to do is compress those attracted Spiritual Force, making all the Spiritual Force form a miniature planet."
After finishing the first message, Ender closed his communicator and did not check 'Martial Artist Breakthrough Details'.
"Begin Breakthrough."
Ender brought the box containing one set of Breakthrough resources beside him. As he opened the box, a wave of cold air rushed out.
He took a Red Dew Pill from the box, put it directly into his mouth, chewed a few times, and swallowed the cool juice and pulp.
Then he took out another Red Dew Pill and consumed it. After consuming a total of ten Red Dew Pills, he finally stopped.
The effect of the ten Red Dew Pills was evident. In just a moment, he felt mentally stimulated, so he closed his eyes.
Sea of Consciousness.
In the transparent mist formed by Spiritual Force, Ender saw countless Spiritual Force in the form of liquid droplets and a small amount of solid Spiritual Force scattered throughout the Sea of Consciousness.
Gaseous, liquid, solid.
He had all three states of Spiritual Force in his Sea of Consciousness.
"Gather!"
Ender murmured in his mind.
The liquid Spiritual Force in the form of water droplets scattered throughout the Sea of Consciousness began to converge, like soldiers receiving orders, gathering towards the center of the Sea of Consciousness.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
The water droplets converged, forming tiny streams that flowed from all directions towards the center of the Sea of Consciousness.
And in the center of the Sea of Consciousness, tiny streams flowed into a constantly rotating transparent water sphere, which grew larger as it rotated.
As it grew, it not only gathered liquid Spiritual Force but also absorbed gaseous Spiritual Force floating in the air, forming several transparent mist Dragons.
"Begin compression."
The transparent water sphere formed by Spiritual Force stopped absorbing liquid and gaseous Spiritual Force and began to rotate rapidly, slowly shrinking as it rotated.
As the transparent water sphere shrank, the dispersed Spiritual Force contained within it became denser, and there were signs of it slowly merging into one.
"Now!"
"Explode for me!"
Suddenly, Ender's mind vibrated.
In the Sea of Consciousness, the compressed transparent water sphere suddenly exploded. The Spiritual Force that was about to become dense all turned into mist, spreading rapidly in all directions like the aftershock of an explosion, filling the entire Sea of Consciousness in an instant.
Immediately after, at the center of the previous transparent water sphere, where the explosion was most powerful.
Like a collapsing star, a black hole formed!
With the singularity as the core, endless gravity began to pull the gaseous, liquid, and solid Spiritual Force in the Sea of Consciousness to gather. All the Spiritual Force in the Sea of Consciousness was attracted and gathered together, then condensed and Fused.
Buzz!
With a tremor in the Sea of Consciousness, all the gaseous, liquid, and solid Spiritual Force disappeared.
Only darkness remained, like a Universe that had lost all its light sources—empty, dark, and silent!
Suddenly, at the singularity where the Spiritual Force converged, a ball of light slowly rose.
It was like a star in the Dark Universe, illuminating the entire empty, dark, and silent Universe.
This ball of light was incredibly beautiful, constructed with a thirty-two-sided crystal as its core, supplemented by countless pyramid-shaped crystals. A halo appeared on its surface, making it even more exquisite.
The moment this ball of light appeared, an invisible and peculiar fluctuation continuously emanated from it.
Buzz, buzz—!
This fluctuation transmitted from the ball of light in the Sea of Consciousness all the way to Ender's body, and then spread outside his body.
"Finally Broke Through to Planetary Level!"
"Is this the miniature planetary magnetic field gravity of the Planetary Level?"
Ender looked at the constantly self-rotating miniature planet in his Sea of Consciousness, his body detaching from the planet's gravity and floating in mid-air.
"According to the information, after Breaking Through to Planetary Level, a Spiritual Master can strengthen their body with Spiritual Force. Let's try it first."
After trying to fly, with a thought, streams of refined Spiritual Force emanated from the miniature planet, spreading throughout his body.
When the Planetary Level Spiritual Force permeated his entire body, Ender felt that his always stable body underwent a drastic change!
His bones, bone marrow, Meridians, muscles, fascia, skin, and so on, all underwent an incredible transformation at this moment, and the Gene Energy within his body was rapidly decomposing and recombining!
This was a life leap!
"This feeling! It's truly wonderful!"
The leap in life made Ender feel immense pleasure. It was an indescribably wonderful feeling.
The most intuitive feeling was that his vitality became more vigorous, he could survive without breathing, and his body could continue to grow stronger.
Previously, when his physical quality reached Apprentice Level 9 Pinnacle, he could no longer improve his physical quality. His life level determined the limit of his physical quality there.
But when he Broke Through to Planetary Level, his life level underwent a leap, which made his physical quality become as fundamental as an infant's, allowing it to continue to grow.
"My Spiritual Force has Broke Through to Planetary Level. Next is my physical quality."
Ender mumbled to himself, then suddenly felt that his words were incorrect. "My life has already undergone a leap, and my physical quality has reached Planetary Level. Can I still complete the Martial Artist Breakthrough?"
Confused, he opened his communicator and began to check 'Martial Artist Breakthrough Details'.
After reading for a while, he finally understood that the Breakthrough of physical quality to Planetary Level was just a habitual term used by people. The Martial Artist Breakthrough required the Gene Energy to Break Through to Planetary Level.
And Gene Energy came from Universe energy. Because each person's body and Soul were different, the Universe energy absorbed was also different.
But the final conversion belonged to the eight major attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, and light, and these eight attributes had no distinction of high or low.
Special abilities originated from Gene Energy and the Universe's bestowal, and were also divided into eight major attributes, with strong and weak special abilities within each attribute.
For example, the Vajra Body special ability in the metal attribute: a strong one would have every part of the body strengthened and incredibly sturdy, while a weak one would only have slightly harder skin, flesh, and bones. The difference between the two was vast!
Seeing the introduction of special abilities at the end, Ender clicked his tongue. "Although the original work mentioned that special abilities had strong and weak distinctions, the difference is too great."
Closing his communicator with a sigh, he prepared to Break Through his Gene Energy to Planetary Level.
But thinking of the vast difference in the strength of special abilities, he couldn't help but pray, "I hope my special ability won't be too bad."
After praying, he swallowed all ten remaining Red Dew Pills from the first set of Breakthrough resources, and then swallowed all the Red Dew Pills from the second set of Breakthrough resources.
Only now did he understand that the Breakthrough auxiliary effect of the Red Dew Pill was extremely useful for Gene Energy Breakthrough, but much less so for Spiritual Force Breakthrough.
Therefore, he simply swallowed all the Red Dew Pills together, which would be of greater help for his Gene Energy Breakthrough to Planetary Level.
Having completed the preparations, Ender stood up and performed the movements taught in 'Martial Artist Breakthrough Details'.
There were two sets of movements in 'Martial Artist Breakthrough Details': one set of Twelve movements for opening the Dantian, and one set of Nine movements for condensing a miniature Planetary Level, the latter needing to be repeated three times.
Just performing the first movement, his body became slightly warm. As he continued with each movement, all the cells in his body seemed to be boiling, and the Gene Energy that had not been absorbed in the cells began to gather like water droplets, forming streams that flowed into his abdomen's Dantian.
When Ender was performing the last of the Twelve movements, all the streams of Gene Energy converged in his abdomen and rotated into a sphere.
Boom!
As he finished his last movement, the sphere formed by Gene Energy in his abdomen instantly exploded!
The Dantian, which originally did not exist, was opened up by this explosion of Gene Energy, and the newly opened Dantian was empty, containing only countless atomized Gene Energy.
Having completed the opening of the Dantian, Ender did not stop and began to perform the second set of movements.
When he completed the first movement, the atomized Gene Energy at the center of the Dantian began to rotate.
As he continued with each movement, the rotation speed of the atomized Gene Energy at the center of the Dantian became faster and faster, until he completed the first round of Nine movements. All the Gene Energy in the Dantian had converged and undergone multiple compressions.
When he completed the second round, the Gene Energy in the Dantian had transformed into a liquid state and became a constantly rotating sphere, continuing to compress towards a solid state.
Upon completing the third set of movements, only a miniature planet remained in Ender's Dantian—a green miniature planet composed of countless six-sided crystals. This miniature planet also emitted peculiar fluctuations.
"Success!"
Feeling the birth of the fluctuation, Ender was overjoyed.
"Now to see what my special ability is!"
With a thought, the green miniature planet in Ender's Dantian emitted Gene Energy that spread throughout his body.
At this moment, a peculiar phenomenon occurred in the Special Training Camp: a student's flower seeds, brought from his hometown and only just germinating, were now growing at a visible rate!
