**Chapter 59: Six Elements**
He woke before dawn even though he now required sleep less and less combined with the idea from last night making his brain hyperactive he barely got any sleep seeing that he could not calm down he created a very strong laxative the moment it hit his system he was out like a light.
A few hours later he woke up feeling very refreshed looking at the time it read 5:00 he stood up and stretched his bones making popping noises as he opened his door and went straight to the basement,
He entered and locked the door from the inside, quiet returned the same quiet he'd claimed for himself the night before, and picked up exactly where sleep had interrupted him.
*Today's list,* he thought. *B-rank override pill. INT pushed to its new ceiling. Then the real question — where do I actually start.*
He designed the pill first, the process familiar enough now that it barely counted as effort but the mana cost was a bit steep
[Rank Framework Override Pill — B-rank Variant]
[Function: Replaces B-rank stat accommodation ceiling with A-rank parameters]
[Mana Cost: 4,100]
[Current Mana: 27,300/31,400]
He swallowed it. Felt the wall resist, but the the pill kicked in as it tore through the hard cap limiting his stats before quickly acting as a buffer for his existence so that he would not collapse
Kai felt it, his existence could now contain more power than before the ceiling lifted from ten thousand to the peak of what an A rank could achieve which was up to ten million per stat.
But something tugged at his memory as he remembered that all his stats were in the twenty thousand he quickly pulled up his stats
[STR: 30,000]
[AGI: 30,000]
[END: 30,000]
[MAN: 27,300/31,400]
[PER: 30,000]
[LUK: 210]
[Talent: Eternal Shadow Sovereign]
[Rank: B rank]
[Cultivation: Core Formation, Layer 7]
[Free Attribute Points: 100,600,000]
He was a bit stunned but then he remembered that he had pushed his cultivation realm to the seventh layer boosting his stats tremendously he felt the power coursing through his veins he felt like he had a controlled nuclear reactor inside his body ready to be unleashed at any time he smiled loving the feeling of growing stronger
He turned his attention towards his free attribute points now he could push his stats to the peak of the next realm.
The cap for an A rank was a whopping ten million in one primary stat making each A rankers monsters in their own right.
He pulled fifty million points from the bank and pushed all of it into his attributes, reaching the peak of A rank in an instant.
Then he felt it his consciousness stretched out to cover an entire city his INT stat handling the weight of the information easily his muscles, flesh,blood and bones were reinforced broken down and made even stronger and denser than before his whole existence pressing down on reality as a whole.
The foundation of his house shook for a brief moment Kai stretched out his hands trying to get a look at it but he moved a bit to fast and the air in front of him
compressed and shot outward making a sonic boom making the house shake again Kai was shocked as he looked up from his hands to where he punched there was a fairly massive hole in the concrete wall
"Kaiiiii!!" He suddenly heard Mei's voice banging on the basement door "What's happening over there mums scared out of her mind" her tiny and high pitched voice came through the basement door
Kai tried to move but remembering what happend earlier he walked step by step like a toddler learning to walk for the first time.
He finally reached the door and unlocked the door looking at his sister who was still in her cute bunny PJ's
"I'm sorry about that it was an accident I didn't mean to scare anybody, don't worry I'll try to keep it quiet from now okay?"
Mei looked at him and pouted her cheeks puffing up like a small squirrel "don't make anymore shaking and noise" she turned around and went upstairs before he could say anything.
Kai just shook his head and locked the basement once more
[STR: 10,000,000]
[AGI: 10,000,000]
[END: 10,000,000]
[MAN: 20,000/11,400,000]
[PER: 10,000,000]
[LUK: 210]
[Talent: Eternal Shadow Sovereign]
[Rank: B rank]
[Cultivation: Core Formation, Layer 7]
[Free Attribute Points: 50,600,000]
He sat with the sensation for a long moment, letting it settle, he would need to learn how to regulate his strength again from scratch as even simple movement from him could tear this house apart. Kai sat in the middle of the basement in a lotus position
"Alright system give me the full run down of how I'm supposed to go about comprehending the elements"
[Ding!]
[Host needs to comprehend the six elements for create a simple domain, the progression is as follows
Elemental aura -> Elemental projection ->Elemental incarnation ->Elemental sovereign ->Elemental law
Each has three stages early, mid, peak
Host needs to comprehend them in order
Note: this is not the same as Dao comprehension]
Kai looked at the stages that he would need to comprehend and almost went into depression as each stages were not something that could be crossed easily the gap between elemental aura and elemental projection was a massive gulf.
But he would not give up he first set his goal for the simple domain first he had not given up on trying to comprehend the full three thousand elements
But for now he would comprehend these six first as apart from helping him create a simple realm it added another versertality to his abilities. Making him even stronger
A small smile touched his lips thinking about it but first he would create an overpowered comprehension ability he wanted to make it a talent but a massive wave of existential dread griped him making him change his mind immediately.
turning it into an ability it seems that a single soul having two talents go against the natural order and he was almost erased by the universe itself.
He focused on what he wanted the ability to do and how it would function he pushed his intent into his creation authority the system received his intent and began crafting what he had intended a few seconds passed and a notification flashed before him
[Ding!]
[Creation authority used]
[Creating ability....]
[Ability created: Absolute Comprehension]
[Grade: genesis grade]
[Mana required: 10,000,000]
[Proceed Y/N]
Kai's eyes widened again as he saw the grade of the ability genesis grade, he had not even heard of something like that and it cost a whopping ten million mana to create it.
Thats all his mana drained to the last drop he clicked on the ability to see it's functions
[Ability: Absolute Comprehension]
[Function: when active, comprehension of any technique, law, elements even powers are boosted by 10,000x
When comprehending a technique it is automatically upgraded to the highest potential that technique can go.]
Kai wanted to just jump for joy as a massive grin spread across his face this was absolutely worth all his mana as this was crazily overpowered.
He quickly pressed yes and in an instant all his mana was drained out of him making him slump on the floor in as a sudden weakness overtook him after laying there for a minute he had recovered one percent of his mana back
Now that he was a B ranked his mana recovery had become astonishing but he did not care right now as a few seconds later his ability was created and added to his repertoire it slid into place like it had always been there.
He was about to test out this new ability before
Mei knocked on the basement door around midday, the particular knock that meant she'd been sent rather than come on her own.
"Mom says you've been down here since before I woke up," she said through the door. "She says you need to eat something that isn't concentrated Mana or whatever it is you do down there."
He almost laughed. He unlocked the door.
She looked at him for a second too long once it opened — the particular focus she reserved for noticing something new about him — and tilted her head.
"Brother your strength has increased i feel like something is pressing me down when I'm near you"
Kai quickly withdrew his aura not letting a single drop leak out mei noticed it again.
"That's so weird," she said, with the specific satisfaction of someone cataloguing a fact for later use, and took his hand to pull him toward the kitchen before he could retreat back into the basement's quiet.
He let her.
The list would still be there after lunch.
But some things a meal, a sister's insistence, an ordinary hour that had nothing to do with realms or thresholds were worth letting interrupt even the most important ledger.
He went to eat.
