Chapter 1978 Current Strength Immortal Ascendant 4th realm Spiritual attack Top 99% The puppet gave out those three messages for Alex to read. Alex mulled over the numbers for a bit, surprised his spiritual strength was as strong as it was. He had known it was strong, but for it to be that high a level meant he was doing something right. 'Will it improve when I breakthrough?' he wondered. The most likely scenario was that it would improve but not by much. The rate at which his spiritual energy would increase would stagnate until it improved at the same rate as his cultivation base. The same would be the case with his Blood aura as well. 'I'll have to find other ways to improve them,' Alex thought. He wondered what other way there was in the Immortal world. He couldn't just go kill Immortal beasts and consume their cores. Even the ocean beasts weren't as unintelligent in the Immortal world. 'I'll find some way surely,' Alex thought and moved on with his tests. Alex wasn't sure what of his was stronger next. Was it his Blood aura or was it his Sword Domain? By feelings alone, they felt similar in strength, so he would have to test to find out. Alex created five beads of blood from the tips of his five fingers, all of which came to the center as it began spinning. He then targeted the puppet and attacked it. The sphere of blood slammed into the puppet at such an incredible speed that it vaporized the moment it struck the target. The puppet gave us a loud ringing noise and messages began appearing on its surface. Immortal Ascendant 5th realm. Blood aura attack. Top 99%. "Oh?" Alex couldn't help but be surprised. "It can detect blood aura as well?" The puppet wasn't as simple as he had thought. 'Would I be able to do better once the next page of the Blood God's Manual opens up?' Alex wondered. The book had long since stopped accepting Alex's blood and had gone dormant. He had taken it out from time to time to see if it would awaken, but nothing had happened just yet. He hoped he hadn't messed anything up with the book, but he couldn't be sure. He simply had no idea what should even be happening right now after all. The best he could do was hope that the book was processing his blood on the inside, waiting for something to happen by the end of it. He hoped it would be soon too. There were 3 more pages to the Blood God's Manual, and he did not want to be denied access to them when they would most likely make him so much stronger. Alex put out his hand next and focused everything he could on his next attack. It was a struggle for him to do this without a sword, but he managed to start making the tiny flickering Sword Qi appear around him in the Sword Domain. He focused all of his attention on controlling it and then made all of the Sword Qi in the domain concentrate on attacking the puppet. The formations on the puppet glowed brightly and messages appeared around it. Immortal Ascendant 5th realm. Sword Intent attack. Top 99%. 'Same as my blood aura,' Alex thought. 'And Sword Intent? It cannot tell the difference between Sword Intent and Sword Domain?' Now that Alex was thinking about it, the puppet had also been unable to detect when he had used the True Fire Dao, only showing it as a Fire Elemental attack. "So you can only detect the very base attack, huh?" Alex thought. He then brought out Midnight and used Sword Domain once again. Now that he had a sword in his hand, creating a Sword Domain became so much easier. He attacked the puppet once again and this attack ended up becoming one step stronger, landing in the Immortal Ascendant 6th realm. 'I should start from the bottom again,' Alex thought. 'Improve Sword Intent, then Sword Qi, and Sword Aura. That way I can improve my Sword Domain even more.' That was something he could do for himself, unlike Blood aura and Spiritual energy. Alex did a few attacks, most of which were combinations of various attacks mixed together to see how effective they were. He used Sword Domain with a Blood Sword, used Blood Aura while using his physical attack, used Spiritual Providence with Blood Sword, and such. After he was done with everything else, he finally took hold of Midnight and used the Endless Severing Strike. Alex swung his sword and the nearly invisible attack cut into the puppet with a violent force. It wasn't just the puppet that took on the attack but also the wall behind it. Glowing lights made it hard for Alex to see properly, but he was certain he could see a line in the metal of the puppet, revealing a pinkish color on the inside. However, even as the line appeared, formations around the puppet glowed and the puppet slowly restored itself, the pink interior hiding behind a fresh chrome exterior. 'Rosesteel,' Alex thought, seeing the puppet's inside. He had seen the metal before and had always wondered why most people used the pink metal. It was only after learning about this world that he realized that there was a massive vein of Rosesteel ore in the Rosesteel continent, which was considered to be a top-tier material in terms of toughness. It was a light material too, unlike Starforged Tungsten, and not so effective in heat conduction. That made it as bad as a forge or cauldron, but for everything else, it was amazing. And given how much ore there was for this metal over in the Rosesteel Continent, it had spread throughout the entire world, and maybe even off-world. The messages popped out next, revealing what power he held within him at the moment. Immortal Origin 1st realm. Metal elemental attack. 96%. Alex gave a small smile. Despite having the same strength as the fire attack he had first done when coming in here, the strength of it had obviously increased. His attack was now ranked in the top 96% instead of 97%. That was to be expected. But then, how much stronger was his next attack going to be? Alex took a deep breath and applied the True Metal Dao onto the sword as he prepared for the same attack again. Only this time, he added everything else onto it too. Then he swung once again. The attack left a deeper impact on the puppet this time, which took a moment longer to come back from it. The restoration process took half a second longer as well and messages appeared in front of it not long after. Only, the message flickered, unable to resolve just what strength the attack had been in. It hovered between Immortal Origin 1st realm and 2nd realm for a while before landing back on Immortal Origin 1st realm. Below that was a list of types of attacks that were included. Metal elemental, Sword Intent, Blood aura, and Spiritual energy prominently showed up on the list. And at the end of it all was the number that told him how well he had done against others. 92%.
