Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener - Chapter 824

Chapter 824: Chapter 824: Body’s Potential Tier!
After recovering, Sterl began to assess how the one hundred units of high-level soul power had enhanced him.

“My hypothesis was indeed correct. The effects that ordinary soul power provides, high-level soul power has as well, but the effects are even stronger!

The only difference is that the danger level is much higher than ordinary soul power. If my body and soul weren’t strong enough, I would have been in danger just now.”

Sterl looked at the long list of improvements. The enhancements were, as before, all-encompassing.

But compared to ordinary soul power, high-level soul power had also increased an unknown resistance, at least one that the [Tanscendence] system could not analyze or visualize.

Sterl carefully felt the changes in his body, and he had an inkling of an answer.

“This resistance, perhaps it’s a resistance to high-level soul power.”

He muttered to himself. This increase in resistance should reduce the pain and risk of absorbing and merging high-level soul power.

But what puzzled him was that resistance like this typically only appeared against forces with extreme lethality and corrosive properties, such as Flame, Ice, Corrosion, and so on.

In other words, resistance generally arises when something has an impact on the body, especially when it causes harm or negative effects during the process of becoming stronger.

But high-level soul power, by all accounts, should belong to a kind of pure and powerful energy. How could it cause his body to develop resistance?

Sterl shook his head.

“Perhaps it’s because the tier of high-level soul power is too high, and its energy is too domineering.”

He didn’t dwell on it further. At least one thing was certain: his strength had indeed increased!

And, just like before, the enhancement to his body was still related to the basic effects of the four primary attributes!

If we were to express it in data, it would mean an increase in his body’s potential—allowing him to unleash twice the power for every bit of strength!

Such an increase in potential naturally included his strength as well!

This was why Sterl was both shocked and excited. He had originally thought that his strength wouldn’t increase any further in the short term, but high-level soul power could still enhance his potential in the realm of strength, which was a huge surprise!

Furthermore, he didn’t feel any discomfort or hidden dangers in his body.

So…

A fierce look appeared on Sterl’s face. Without any hesitation, he began drawing in more high-level soul power from the Soul Devourer Sphere, integrating it into his body.

As the one hundred units of high-level soul power were absorbed, the extreme pain from before returned. The sensation of watching his body slowly dissolve and collapse, while being utterly unable to control it, was a feeling that even the most resolute of warriors would have their emotions break under.

Of course, Sterl had already endured similar torment many times before. Compared to the first time he absorbed high-level soul power, although this time was still painful, his mental endurance had grown significantly stronger.

“As expected, that resistance is indeed aimed at high-level soul power.”

While enduring the pain that coursed through his body, Sterl also sensed the differences compared to the last time.

It seemed that with the second absorption of high-level soul power, the rate at which his body collapsed and dissolved had slowed down slightly, and his recovery speed was faster than before.

Not long after, he had fully absorbed and processed all of the high-level soul power.

[Infused with large amounts of mysterious energy, your vitality has increased by 1%]

[Infused with large amounts of mysterious energy, your life force has increased by 1%]

[Infused with large amounts of mysterious energy, the basic effects of your strength, physique, agility, and spirit have increased by 1%]

[Infused with large amounts of mysterious energy, your overall recovery abilities (including vitality, life force, spirit…) have increased by 1%]

[Infused with large amounts of mysterious energy, your ability to comprehend all things (including formations, Laws, skills, talents…) has increased by 2%]

[Infused with large amounts of mysterious energy, your lifespan has increased by 10 years!]

[Infused with large amounts of mysterious energy, your resistance to unknown forces has increased by 1 point!]

“The increase is the same as before. It seems that this unknown resistance does not weaken the strengthening effects of high-level soul power on me. Instead, it enhances my ability to endure high-level soul power.”

Having confirmed this, Sterl became bolder.

After taking a minute to rest, he began the third round of absorption.

Then came the fourth… the fifth…

Time passed quickly, and the speed at which he absorbed and merged high-level soul power remained rapid.

At the bottom of the Abyssal Prison, a powerful aura appeared and disappeared intermittently. As time passed, this aura began to expand rapidly, like blowing air into a balloon, growing stronger with each passing moment!

However, this was Abyssal Prison, the most dangerous place in the Eternal Light World and a true forbidden zone for living beings. Everything that happened here was unknown to anyone. Even the elite Nightmare Beings stationed at the entrance of the Abyssal Prison could not sense any of the fluctuations.

The powerful sealing and isolation capabilities of Abyssal Prison perfectly masked the fluctuations caused by Sterl’s enhancement.

“One thousand five hundred eighty-first absorption…”

Sterl quietly recorded as one hundred units of high-level soul power entered his body.

In less than half a minute, the high-level soul power was completely absorbed and digested by his body.

From his expression, which showed no sign of fluctuation, it was clear that this absorption had not caused any significant pain.

[Infused with large amounts of mysterious energy, your vitality has increased by 0.1%]

[Infused with large amounts of mysterious energy, your life force has increased by 0.1%]

[Infused with large amounts of mysterious energy, the basic effects of your strength, physique, agility, and spirit have increased by 0.1%]

[Infused with large amounts of mysterious energy, your overall recovery abilities (including vitality, life force, spirit…) have increased by 0.1%]

[Infused with large amounts of mysterious energy, your ability to comprehend all things (including formations, Laws, skills, talents…) has increased by 0.1%]

[Infused with large amounts of mysterious energy, your lifespan has increased by 1 year!]

“Any power increase has its limits, and high-level soul power is no exception.

However, the enhancement from high-level soul power has not weakened, but my body has grown stronger than before. It’s like the difference between a water basin and a water barrel—if the same amount of water is poured in, the proportion it occupies is completely different.”

After nearly a day of absorbing, Sterl had completed one thousand five hundred eighty-one absorptions, each time absorbing one hundred units.

Through this large repetition, he had absorbed a total of 150,000 units of high-level soul power!

The improvements brought by these soul powers were far greater than the effects of the ten million ordinary soul power he had absorbed before!

The specific attribute increases were as follows:

Vitality increased by 110%

Energy increased by 125%

The basic effects of the four primary attributes increased by around 50%

Recovery ability increased by 130%

His comprehension ability increased by 60%

His lifespan increased by 3000 years

Additionally, the mysterious unknown resistance had increased to 30 points.

With 30 points of resistance to high-level soul power, Sterl could now absorb and fuse high-level soul power without experiencing the pain, and his body wouldn’t collapse or dissolve—just like absorbing ordinary soul power.

Furthermore, upon the one-thousandth absorption of high-level soul power, when the total number of high-level soul power absorbed reached 100,000, an unexpected enhancement occurred.

[Body Potential Tier +1]

When Sterl saw this enhancement, he momentarily thought he had read it wrong.

But after carefully sensing the changes in his body, he was shocked to discover that this was not a [Tanscendence] system error but an actual increase in his Body Potential Tier!

Up until now, Sterl had only experienced tiered enhancements in three abilities: Spiritual Transcendence, Sublimation of Power, and master-tier swordsmanship.

But the Body Potential Tier increase was a first.

Body Potential represented the limit that the body and soul could reach. Once it neared that limit, any further strength enhancements would face absolute restrictions.

This limit was not caused by external factors, but rather because his body could no longer bear more power, unable to undergo further sublimation and transformation.

He wasn’t sure how high his potential could go, but one thing was certain: after obtaining Sublimation of Power, he could feel the bottleneck in his strength.

This meant that, after acquiring all the ultimate passives, he would likely reach his own potential limit.

The Body Potential Tier increase brought by high-level soul power wouldn’t immediately raise his combat strength, but it would raise his upper limit of power!

This upper limit included not only his physical body and soul but also the limits of his techniques!

After the increase in Body Potential Tier, Sterl could clearly feel that sense of limitless potential, a sensation that he could keep growing stronger without boundaries.

This also made Sterl even more excited about the high-level soul power.

Moreover, the high-level soul power increased his ability to perceive everything, which was also useful for cultivating techniques!

He could already feel that his understanding of swordsmanship was growing, even though he hadn’t started actual cultivation yet.

Unfortunately, in the subsequent 580+ absorptions of soul power, no further Body Potential Tier increases occurred.

The single Tier +1 was not enough to satisfy Sterl’s ambition and thirst. He wanted to become the strongest, powerful enough to Suppress everything, and for that, he needed infinite potential!

Thinking about this, Sterl decided not to continue with these low-intensity absorptions.

Gripping the Soul Devourer Sphere, a look of determination flashed in his eyes.

“Let’s increase the absorption rate by ten times. If I can handle it, I’ll continue to increase it.”

Without hesitation, Sterl moved his thoughts. Inside the Soul Devourer Sphere, over ten thousand units of high-level soul power surged into his body—equivalent to the essence of one thousand gods’ souls, or the soul essence of twenty upper divine authority beings—all rushing into him at once.

“Here we go.”

Taking a deep breath, Sterl controlled his body and immediately began absorbing the soul power!
