One of the most popular forms of transport on this planet were tamed flying beasts. The problem with them was that they could only be used for short distances since their speed only reached about 500km/h. They also needed constant breaks
The circumference of green star increased by over 30 times after its upgrade to a middle world. So the circumference of earth spans about 1.2 million kilometers. To travel even a part of that with such a speed would take forever.
The Saviour Sect was located about 120000km away from the base Kael and Karl were currently at so to travel that distance with a flying beast they would need most of the month to reach their goal.
Luckily just like hover cars, humans in this world also improved the airplane. It could now fly with just the help of spiritual energy, meaning it wouldn't need to land in between, and even reached speeds of over 3000km/h.
This meant Kael could reach his goal in just under two days if he took a runeplane, which was the new name they got.
So Kael booked a ticket for a plane to Saviours City, which was the city that was closest to saviour sect.
At the airport they simply checked into their flight with the help of the tickets they booked online. They even had a cabin of their own with beds and a small table. After all the flight would take 2 days so Kael payed extra with the money he got by selling beast corpses.
„I feel like we should just book a hotel when we land and cultivate inside there until the entrance examination starts."
„Since I'm not really sure how high the realm of most participants at my age is I would rather not take any risks. After all they probably didn't spend as long in the Body Refinement Realm as I did and could use their time to progress in the Energy Refinement Realm."
Kael thought that he might not meet the standards for cultivation if he took the exam with his current realm. So once they landed they simply checked into the rooms of their hotel.
They were pretty spacious and Karl even got his own human-sized bed which made him happy.
Even though they wouldn't have to sleep more than twice a week with their current cultivation, Kael still liked to at least rest for four hours a day. It was a habit that he couldn't get rid of yet.
There was only one problem. Just before starting to cultivate Kael suddenly remembered something and looked towards Karl.
„How do I even cultivate?" In the Body Refinement Realm he had the Human Refinement Manual and his self created technique but he didn't have a cultivation technique for his current realm.
„Obviously you need a cultivation technique, idiot." Karl said with a hint of annoyance. „However, I would suggest you create your own. You will probably not find any that fit your attributes on this planet and a technique with a low grade will make your foundation shaky."
Kael was speechless. How long would creating your own technique even take? There was no way he could further increase his strength before the assessment.
„It would be best if you focus on understanding the elements that make up your body within the next month. This way you will then be able to draw inspiration from other techniques to create your own that fits your attributes."
So, Kael just quietly sat down and focused on the energy running through his meridians. To do that he often switched between the chaos and void element when using his spiritual energy and tried to understand what made them special.
To further increase his understanding he even integrated the use of spiritual energy into his combat techniques and therefore made them suitable for his current realm.
To upgrade the Explosive Fist technique he channeled spiritual energy into his fist in a certain manner to increase its speed and power.
If he used his Void spiritual energy to execute the technique it would be extremely destructive and deal a high amount of damage. Even the properties of banishing a part of the thing he hit into the void were there.
If he executed it with his Chaos spiritual energy on the other hand, the attack would instead be a bit faster but the power was extremely reduced.
It seems like Void spiritual energy is really perfect for attacking. The power was about two times higher than what it would be with normal spiritual energy.
His Quick Gale steps on the other hand were more effective with Chaos spiritual energy. This way he was more mobile as well as faster. Since Chaos encompassed all other rules he used the wind aspect of chaos to make his technique faster.
Void was too destructive to be used for a movement technique, but that was only compared to Chaos spiritual energy.
If he were to use attributeless spiritual energy instead it would still be about 1.5 times faster.
Kael really felt just how overpowered his spiritual energy really is.
‚System, show me the description of my new techniques.'
[Explosive Energy Fist]
[Grade: Peak Mortal]
[Imbue Spiritual Energy of any attribute into your fist and arm to increase the speed and power of the strike.]
[Fast Gale Steps]
[Grade: Peak Mortal]
[Channel spiritual energy through your feet and lower legs to increase your movement speed and maneuverability]
‚Hmm sadly they reached only Peak Mortal Grade, I would have hoped for Spirit Grade but there's nothing I can do about it.'
Kael's standards were really too high. Aside from the fact that Mortal was usually the maximum grade for techniques in the Energy Refinement realm, he created and mastered them to the Limit-Break within less than 3 days.
Most of that time was only needed because he had to focus on how his special energy interacted with the technique to focus on its attributes. If you used the technique with chaos or void spiritual energy it would easily reach low spirit grade in terms of destructiveness or speed.
In this way 30 days passed with Kael focusing on the properties of his elements and Karl cultivating.
From time to time you could see Karl eat a piece of flesh from the beasts they hunted earlier. Magic Beasts like Karl and normal beasts could gain a large amount of energy from the food they ate.
With Karl's cultivation talent he reached the 9th stage of the Energy Refinement stage within this month. If he had more energy and higher quality meat or pills he could have even reached the Foundation Establishment or beyond within this month.
„I feel like with my current understanding I will be able to create a new technique as soon as I have some cultivation techniques from the sect for inspiration."
Karl was secretly shocked by Kael's words since the amount of comprehension one needed to understand not only one but two supreme elements to such a level within a month was unimaginable.
But obviously Karl wouldn't give Kael the pleasure of telling him how talented he was.
The duo finally headed for the sect after a month. Even though they were inside Saviour City, it was still a pretty long way towards the sect.
The city itself held over 250 million people inside of it and had a giant size. To reach the sect which was located a distance away from the city they would probably need about 3 hours if they rented a flying beast so they made their way to a rental service.
Once their they chose a huge bald eagle with a wingspan of over 20 meters that could easily carry the both of them.
Not only the eagle but also its price were shocking. They had to pay 20000 credits, all that they had left from selling beast corpses, to simply rent it for 3 hours.
„We definitely should have taken a flying car instead. It would have been way cheaper" Kael looked at Karl who insisted they take the flying eagle.
‚Hmpf, the two most important people there definitely need an epic entrance. We somehow need to show them that we are better and cooler. Just imagine how jealous they will be of us once we arrive.'
Karl could already clearly picture the scene. All those humans looking up at them, murmuring about their greatness. Maybe some female raccoons that are in the vicinity will even faint from his charm.
Karl let his imagination run wild for the next 3 hours. Just 10 minutes before arriving they could already see the breathtaking scene of the sect.
