Apex Star

Chapter 18: Upgrading to Rank 9, Mysterious Sect

After Nova saw the insides of the storage ring, he was taken aback by the sheer amount of resources. Quickly calming himself down, he started by browsing through the weapons and armors, trying to find something for the current him to use.

Half an hour later, Nova actually found a few things that piqued his interest. He was currently holding a slim, fully white sword in his hand, if not for the fact that he actually saw it in his hand, he wouldn't even know it was there.

It was a Stage 2 Rank 4 sword named Lightstar. What he found interesting about the sword was the fact that its weight when wielded by its master was basically 0.

As for the enemy, it will feel like a few tons. As heavy as a star and as fast as the light were better to describe it. It didn't have a special ability activation, but only it's 2 perks were already enough. Weight and speed.

For the Armor, he found a basic Stage 2 Rank 1 flexible one. Its only advantage was the fact that it didn't hinder his movements in the slightest.

He also found a light blue bracelet that could potentially block a Late Stage 2 attack once before being destroyed. Or potentially multiple Middle Stage 2 attacks.

Looking for a while, he took a liking to a pair of boots that made it easier for a space user to move around.

After finishing gearing himself, he turned to look at the library full of techniques. What he discovered there made him feel as if on cloud nine.

It was his mother and father notes about the Space-Time energy, how it could be efficiently used or different kinds of applications.

'It looks like a manga to read.' Nova chuckled at his childish thoughts. Still, manga and anime is what made him who he was today.

He was a social recluse thanks to a certain event and couldn't get over it. Manga and Anime slowly healed his depression, and he started taking a like to 'living'.

He wasn't so recluse anymore and started chatting with the surrounding persons, sadly, he didn't have any friends even though he recovered.

It wasn't because he couldn't make friends, honestly everybody liked him. It was just that he didn't want to, he kept everyone an arm away.

The only ones who Nova considered as friends, were Juan and Maria, the couple also played a huge part in his recovery.

Shaking his head to discard the unnecessary things, Nova once again took a look at the notes from his parents.

Nova was completely immersed in reading the notes that he didn't even realize that over 3 hours had passed already.

After reading a part of it, he guessed that his parents made these notes especially for him to be able to easily understand them.

'Mom, dad, thank you so much for these gifts... I'll make sure to treasure them, and even show them to you when we meet again. I will make you both proud of me.' Thought Nova with a smile.

Extricating himself from the notes, he looked at the space and time energy crystals in the surroundings. There were mountains of them waiting to be picked and absorbed.

He did just that, as he started to absorb the energy crystals that seemed to contain so much energy that it made Nova's senses feel overwhelmed.

Five hours later, the basement shook, and Nova opened his eyes after he broke through Rank 8.

He was amazed by his speed of cultivation, considering the fact that on Earth there may not be even a Rank 4 currently.

Still, one should not forget about his special encounters and the fact that right now, he used Stage 2 energy crystals to break through.

Feeling unsatisfied, Nova continued his cultivation in hopes of attaining Rank 9 before the deadline of his meeting with Juan and Maria in Pearl City.

With one hour before the time limit for a moment, it was as if the whole Earth shook, which, in fact, did.

-----

Somewhere deep in the 'core' of the universe, a young man and woman opened their eyes simultaneously and looked at each other.

"It seems that another prodigy woke up." lamented the young man.

"Indeed, we should recommend him to the Sect, so he could take part in the trials one month later." said the young woman somewhat mechanically.

The young man already accustomed to her personality wasn't really surprised by her textbook comment about the possible new addition to their Sect.

One has to know that the two of them were actually part of the highest forces in the entire human region, and even those Stage 9 of the 10 superpowers had to treat them with courtesy.

For starters, it was actually unbelievable that they sensed the breakthrough of a young man to Rank 9 from billions of light years.

These spoke volumes about their power and capabilities.

After pondering for a while, the young man said;

"We should go personally to take a look at the new seedling, and if he is deemed capable enough, we'll recommend him to take the sect trials. That and also the fact that we only have 2 spots to recommend, and besides that girl, we didn't have anyone else talented enough to fit."

Said the young man to the woman, after a while and with no response he prepared to get up.

"Do you think it's possible that the one we're looking for to appear?" The young woman said as she rose from the empty space.

The young man was stunned by what she said and looked back at her only to confirm if she really talked with him, or not.

"Everything is possible. We should get going."

After saying that, both of them disappeared from their spots as if they were never there to begin with.

A strange talisman was held by the young man close to his heart the entire time, the strange talisman started glowing harder with every second they got closer to Earth.
