Five years later …
At the edge of the Scarlet Snow Mountains, at the peak of an unusually rugged mountain.
The snow was boundless and the cold wind was bone-chilling. On a small white mountain peak, Garon sat cross-legged at the edge of the cliff with his eyes slightly closed. Not far behind him was a small snow-white flying ship. The number 15 was clearly painted on the surface.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a red light flashed. Garon opened his mouth and spat out a red halo. It flew one round around his body and instantly went back into his nostrils, disappearing without a trace.
"Begin!"
He shouted in a low voice. Suddenly, a transparent pyramid the height of a person appeared in front of him. It was densely packed with flowing data and formulas.
The pyramid strangely floated in front of Garon and rotated slowly. The data on it flowed and changed from time to time. Gradually, beads of sweat appeared on Garon's forehead.
Rushing from Level Three to Level Four, he did not expect that Energy Machinists were completely different from pilots. It was unusually difficult to rush.
This kind of increase in computing power was still a speed that Garon was satisfied with. In just four years, it had more than doubled. However, he used the last year to continuously rush and still did not succeed. This made him feel slightly tired. In this year, he did not know how many times he had tried to rush to Level Four.
Back when he was a pilot, he leveled up very quickly. However, as an Energy Machinist now, he did not expect it to be so difficult. He specially went around the sect for a while and found that it was not just him. The threshold from Level Three to Level Four was a key point that many Energy Machinists could not cross. This meant that the position of condensing the second Energy Machine Imprint was not that simple. It was a qualitative change that increased the position of the Energy Machine Imprint. It was even more difficult than the process of condensing the third imprint.
This was because this stage mainly depended on the Energy Machinist's computing power talent.
Garen finally realized the mediocrity of his calculation ability. Although he had used his potential points to increase his calculation speed, reaction speed, and overall calculation difficulty, he was still lacking in terms of the kind of creative thinking that mathematical geniuses displayed. His angle of thinking and the way he thought about problems were still lacking.
These things could not be improved by intelligence. Instead, it was more about imagination, creativity, and even related to the outlook on the world, life, and thoughts.
So now, not only was he trying to break through the threshold of Level 4, but he was also trying to break through the barrier of thinking.
In the end, he was still an artificial genius. He might not be inferior to a genius in terms of calculation speed, depth, and complexity, but he was much weaker in other aspects.
As the cold wind howled, Garon sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly open. He didn't know how much time had passed, but the sky was gradually darkening. He gently opened his mouth, and the sweat on his forehead was increasing.
Chi!
Another beam of red light shot out from his mouth. It flew straight to the center of the transparent pyramid.
Clang!
A violent sound rang out. Garon abruptly bent over and spat out a mouthful of blood. His complexion turned a lot gloomier.
Two One Hearted Disciples dressed in white stood on the snowy ground in the distance. They looked worriedly at Garon's cliff from afar. One of them was Bänstad who went to fetch Garon back then. The other was a girl with long reddish-brown hair. Her bangs were neatly combed in front of her forehead. She looked like an obedient and pure girl. The white female sect's clothing perfectly outlined her good figure. It was a pity that her movements were slightly stiff. It was difficult for her to even lift her hand to tidy her hair.
This person was called Hilco. She was chosen by Garon from a group of One Hearted Disciples to be the owner and resident of the auxiliary building of his villa. She was the one who enjoyed the benign radiation optimization together.
Hilco was originally a normal person. However, her Energy Machinist talent was very low. It was terrible to look at. However, she was unwilling to sell her body to obtain the resources and conditions she needed. Therefore, in order to advance, she went to an ancient ruin. After struggling to come out, she barely opened up a part of her brain's computational brain region. Her computing power increased and she eventually became an Energy Machinist, although she was only a Level One Energy Machinist.
Later, due to her strange changes, she was accepted by the Chixue Sect. She could cooperate with research for a long time. However, they could not find out how she broke through her brain's computational brain region. Later on, they gave up on the research topic and left her to fend for herself.
The reason why Garon chose her from the crowd was because he saw the determined and unyielding temperament in her eyes. It was a firm belief that could only be displayed after experiencing life and death.
As for her slow movements, this was also the aftereffect of surviving that near-death experience.
Other than having a normal head, she might need more than ten seconds or even dozens of seconds to do something that an ordinary person would need one second to do. It was very difficult. She took no less than ten seconds just to raise her hand to her forehead.
As for the rent, as a Level One Energy Machinist, Hilco was exempted from daily tasks because she cooperated with the experimental research. Other than food and accommodation, she could also earn some income that an Energy Machinist could earn. She only charged a hundred crystals a week, which was considered a very cheap price.
At this time, Hilco and Bänstad were nervously staring at the snow cliff that Garon had broken through in the distance. When he saw Garon open his mouth and spit out a bloody light towards the transparent pyramid, Bänstad's expression suddenly changed.
"Senior Garon has started to use the secret method! Once the Cold Scarlet Snow secret method is used, if he can't break through within ten minutes, his injuries will be even worse!! "
"Then what should we do? We must think of a way to help Senior Brother! "Hilco frowned and said worriedly.
"There's no other way! It's already a critical moment now. When the secret method starts, the computing power will increase by 150% instantly. Senior Garon has cultivated the Cold Scarlet Snow secret method to the third level in four years. He took it one step at a time, steadily and steadily. He didn't use the secret method for many times before. Now that he's using it, the accumulated power will be released all at once … Senior Brother will definitely succeed! "Bänstad said in a low voice.
The two of them were now involved with Garon. In the sect, among the many One Hearted Disciples, they had already been labeled as Garon. Garon's strength was also related to their future. In these five years, they had sacrificed too much. How many five years could they squander in their lives? They were about to reach the critical age of twenty-five years old. Once they reached that age, the computing power of their brains would be fixed and their future limits would be completely set.
At this time, a red light shot out from the edge of the snow cliff again. It shot accurately at the center of the transparent pyramid.
Garen let out a low growl and opened his mouth again, shooting out another ray of red light.
Clang!
The pyramid finally shook slightly. Traces of cracks appeared in the center.
Garon simply closed his eyes. Countless densely packed data calculation formulas flowed rapidly in his mind. All kinds of possible calculation routes and ideas were running wildly.
The cracks on the pyramid increased in number and size.
"I understand now …! This stage isn't about solving the problem at all. It's about solving the problem!! "Garon suddenly opened his eyes. He opened his mouth and a red light shot out from his mouth.
The data flow inside the pyramid became more and more dense and complicated.
Time passed by minute by minute. The cold wind kept freezing the sweat on Garon's body into ice. Layer after layer, it almost wrapped him into a snowman.
Finally, he raised his chin. The red light shot out from his mouth for the fourth time. It accurately hit the top of the pyramid.
Crack …
Cracks instantly spread all over the pyramid. Then, there was a loud ringing sound like countless silver bells.
The entire pyramid was completely shattered!
"Success!!" Hilco and Bänstad could not help but cheer.
With Garen's final effort, he had finally broken through to Level Four Energy Machinist.
Compared to the more talented geniuses in the big sects, his breakthrough was unusually difficult. However, compared to a small sect like the Chixue Sect, being able to enter Level Four before the age of thirty was considered an achievement of the upper class.
There were only three Two Hearted Disciples in the entire sect. Now, with Garon, there were four. Only four out of hundreds of people. The others only entered Level Four after the age of thirty. The younger one was, the greater the potential in the future.
Garon entering Level Four at this age meant that there was a high possibility that he would enter Inherited Level in the future. Thinking of this, Bänstad and Hilco were delighted. Every year, more than ten people from the Central City would come to join the Chixue Sect. They were all Two Hearted Disciples. However, how many of them could enter Inherited Level? Although in theory, these elites in the club had potential, there was still a gap between their potential.
The competition in the sect was extremely cruel. Outside, there were other sects that schemed against each other. Every year, hundreds of disciples died in assassination ambushes and fights for resources. Naga was full of danger. The mutated beasts in the ancient ruins were extremely dangerous. Once an enemy sect encountered them, life and death would be up to fate.
The death rate in the competition between Energy Machinists was also extremely high. This was the key reason why the Energy Machinists at the top of the pyramid were able to suppress the pilots. In the cruel competition system, survival of the fittest and survival of the fittest, all the surviving Energy Machinists had strong combat power, especially when they went to the Void Battlefield to hunt for Star Nuclei. Compared to the Energy Machinists, the pilots received less training.
After the pyramid shattered, a second Energy Machine Imprint slowly appeared behind Garon's head. The two imprints floated side by side. The one on the left was inlaid with the pattern of the Big Wild Wolf, while the one on the right was still empty. He needed to go back and choose an imprint to fill it.
Garon stood up tiredly. He tore off the blood-stained part of his clothes and looked at the pyramid fragments slowly disappearing into the air. He exhaled and his body shook.
With a loud crack, all the layers of ice on his body shattered and fell to the ground.
"I've finally entered Level Four … I didn't expect it to take me five years … But it's much shorter than the ten years that most people would need. It's already not bad." There was a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
He turned around and quickly walked towards Hilco and Bänstad. As he approached the two of them, Garon smiled and waved his hand.
"Let's go back and celebrate. Once we pass this crucial threshold, it'll be much easier to enter Level Five."
"Congratulations, Senior Brother Garon! Once you pass this threshold, you'll be able to quickly break through Level Five using the Mars Radiation Stone distributed by the sect! "Bänstad said excitedly. "Once you break through Level Five, you'll be qualified to become a Three Hearted Disciple and become the Elder Master's personal disciple!"
Hilco on the side also nodded repeatedly, revealing a heartfelt happy smile.
Garon shook his head and smiled.
"You're talking too far. That's something that'll happen in the future. You'd better worry about yourself first. You're still Level One after so long."
Bänstad's face stiffened, and he scratched his head embarrassedly.
