After about a minute, the Mana body was fully activated as it hovered in the air. Xuan Yuan was ecstatic. He'd created a Mana body. Now reaching Tier 3 was a surity. He quickly used some Magic arrays to fuse the Mana body with his own body.
Once the fusion was complete, Xuan Yuan's aura underwent a qualitative transformation as he even saw a massive leap in his life rating. Now without doing anything, he could pressure any Tier 1 player with just his aura alone.
'It's a pith the Mana body I created is not acknowledged by the God system otherwise I'd have reached Tier 3 immediately' Xuan Yuan sighed.
He'd created a Mana body. But because of some factors like his low level, the Mana body was not recognized. Their were certain reasons why there were specified level requirements to be met before one can challenge a promotion quest to reach higher Tiers. An example was his Spirit stats. This spirit stat increases as level and Tier increases but the Spirit strength required to handle a Tier 3 Mana body is only possible at level 100 which made the minimum level required to reach Tier 3 level 100. This was also true for Tier 4 and 5.
Although Xuan Yuan could create a Mana body, his spirit strength was still severely lacking. He wouldn't have struggled so hard otherwise.
'It's not bad anyway. At least I can still use the power of the Mana body' He thought. Using the power of a Silver Mana body at Tier 1 was what many dreamt of achieving. Although the power he could use us limited, it's still enough to kill any Tier 3 King especially with his Peak Tier 4 Mana control.
He cracked his knuckles which gave out loud sounds. He gazed at his hands which was overflowing with power and fighting spirit burned in his eyes.
He finally ascended the steps and arrived at the 6th level of the Tower of evaluation.
3 hours later...
Xuan Yuan heaved a sigh of relief as he saw his 7th opponent die in his hands. During this 3 hours, he'd conquered the 6th and 7th level of to the Tower of evaluation and has met the minimum requirement to prove himself to Raymond, the Jade Spear Emperor. But wanting to challenge himself and his limit, he continued his challenge in the Tower.
In both floors, his opponents were both Sword Emperors. One was a Basic Tier 4 Sword Emperor and the other was a Peak Tier 4 Sword Emperor with even a Mana domain. He had a tough time before he finally slayed both Emperors and get 2800 Humanity points. If not because of the Mana body he'd created, there was no doubt, he'd have lost!
'These opponents are already tough enough. How much terrifying will those up there be?' He thought as he glanced upwards.
As for the Saints in the core room, they were not even saying anything again. They just watched quietly as Xuan Yuan continued his challenge. They were already numb to all the feats the Swordman was pulling off.
'We'll see your limit soon!' They thought confidently confidently as they watched Xuan Yuan ascend to the 8th level...
At the door, Xuan Yuan took a deep breath before pushing the door open and entering the 8th level...
"What the Fuck!" Xuan Yuan cried as he took a few steps into the 8th Hall. "Tier 5 Sword Saint!"
The Eight Saints in the Core room looked on with confidence that Xuan Yuan would lose. It was a Sword Saint after all. Only another Saint would understand how much power Saints could wield.
Xuan Yuan felt as if he was submerged into a stream of hard mercury as he watched the Sword Saint hovering in the air whose Mana domain was almost condensed into solid state as it locked Xuan Yuan in place.
Xuan Yuan was frightened and ecstatic at the same time. This was a Tier 5 Saint with Tier 5 Mana control. Fighting against him would give him some pointers about the Mana control at Tier 5.
The Mana domain of the Sword Saint was frighteningly strong, enough to lock Xuan Yuan in space. Xuan Yuan didn't struggle but instead closed his eyes to feel the Mana around him.
'This isn't Mana!' Xuan Yuan muttered suddenly. As someone who had been used to controlling Mana, he could identify the sensation Mana gave him. Although he felt a similar sensation form this Mana, he could tell there was something different.
When he spread the little consciousness he could control, he found out that instead of existing as ordinary Mana, the Mana here was divided into thousands of elemental particles which are fusing, separating, repelling and attracting themselves to constitute Mana.
He then viewed Mana as an illusory world where the Elements of all things existed in equilibrium to form Mana he could use.
In this world, he saw a fiery strand of energy flowing among other strands. Countering it is another cold strand of energy.
'That should be the Elements of Fire and Water' Xuan Yuan thought.
He suddenly had an idea. He raised his finger and a flame appeared on it. Immediately, he found out that strands of Flame elemental energy in Mana surged towards him burning the Flames with more power.
'The Flame is burning with more power!' Xuan Yuan thought. 'Is this because it's burning with Flame elemental Mana?'
When the Flame burned, the concentration of Fire Elemental Mana increased drastically and dominated other elements forming a fiery Mana. That means when water type skills Mana is being used, Water Elemental Mana would be dominant over other elements of Mana!
