Chapter 673: An Opportunity by Lyra
In the Great Ruler Empire, the Mana Condensed Pool was more than just a luxury—it was a necessity for every genius striving to level up to higher ranks.
It was one of the most coveted training grounds in the entire Great Ruler Empire. Reserved for true geniuses, it offered what few other places could—pure, undiluted, heavily compressed mana, almost in liquid form.
It was so concentrated that even the most stubborn bottlenecks could be shattered with focused effort and enough time within the pool. But such a resource came at a steep price—1000 PQ per hour, a cost that only the most determined or desperate could afford.
While ordinary mana could be absorbed during training, it often lacked the density and purity required to make significant progress, especially when one approached the wall separating major ranks.
The Mana Condensed Pool, however, was built precisely for that purpose. The mana within it wasn’t just dense—it was condensed to the point where it flowed like thick mist, rich with power and perfectly aligned for absorption.
Every drop was like a surge of raw energy, refined and potent enough to pierce through bottlenecks that might otherwise take years to overcome. That was why experts from all over the Great Ruler Empire flocked to it, using the PQ they had earned—often through blood, sweat, and dangerous missions—to buy precious hours within its walls.
For them, PQ wasn’t just currency; it was the ticket to advancement. Whether it was stepping from Master Rank to Champion, or crossing the difficult chasm into Legend Rank, the pool was the place where geniuses made their leaps.
It had become a common and accepted part of life within the Empire. Every genius knew—when the time came to make a major breakthrough, you went to the Mana Condensed Pool. There was no shame in it. Only results mattered. And in the Great Ruler Empire, results were everything.
Just when Max was about to make up his mind about using his privilege to enter the Mana Condensed Pool, his holowatch suddenly beeped, drawing his attention.
