Strongest Hammer God

Chapter 629 Advancement Begins

Assistant led Kyle and Swamp Dragon down the hallway.

They entered a big hall, and when they looked around, they saw a bunch of people.

The hall had several candles, chandeliers, and all kinds of monitors. Surprisingly, the monitors showed fights involving different people. Some of these people wore the uniform of the Array of Stars, but their opponents also wore different clothing.

ʼIs this actually a TV? Do we have a TV network here?ʼ Kyle thought in surprise.

That was… kind of strange.

ʼBut it makes sense. I mean, we have technology here. Why not use the technology to show interesting stuff?ʼ

The people in the hall all wore the uniform of the Array of Stars. Most of them were sitting in groups, while some of them just looked at the tv.

Almost every Realm was present in this hall.

Kyle could see Primals, Crushers, Sages, and Spirit Lords.

A Sage was someone in the Wisdom Fire Realm, while a Spirit Lord was someone in the Domain Realm.

Sadly, there were no Ascendants, who were people in the Fusion Realm, and Immortals, people in the Universe Realm.

Naturally, since everyone had a terrifying perception, they immediately noticed the two newcomers, but they didnʼt pay any attention to them.

While they only got new people from the Star Seeking every couple of years, to people who had lived that long, a couple of years was more like a couple of days or even hours.

At some point, one would get bored with greeting new people just to see them leave the Array of Stars again.

One of the monitors showed somebody from the Array of Stars fighting someone with a white and black uniform.

Both of the combatants were in the Primal Realm, and most people paid attention to the monitor that showed this specific fight.

Kyle recognized the white and black uniform of the opponent.

ʼSomeone from the Contrast Empire,ʼ he thought. ʼIf I remember correctly, this is one of our biggest competitors.ʼ

The image of the Duchess of Twilight appeared in Kyleʼs mind for a moment.

She fit the Contrast Empire very well in terms of how she specialized.

ʼWould make sense that sheʼs from the Contrast Empire.ʼ

Assistant wordlessly led the two of them through the hall and entered another hallway.

Some time later, she arrived in front of one of many thick doors.

”These are the Ascension Halls,” she said with a polite smile. ”In them, you will find everything you need to advance. Do you have any questions?”

Kyle just shook his head, while Swamp Dragon remained silent.

”Wonderful,” Assistant said. ”Then, I wish you good luck during your advancement.”

Kyle and Swamp Dragon walked over to one door each and nodded at each other before entering.

As Kyle opened the door, he saw a big, empty hall. Several Formation Arrays covered the walls, but he didnʼt know enough about them to find out what they were doing.

While Formation Arrays could exhibit the power of a Law, they achieved these effects in a completely different way.

A human might know how to solve a complex equation, but just because they knew how to do that didnʼt mean that they could create a machine that solved complex equations.

Kyle walked over to the middle of the room and sat down.

He looked around and didnʼt see anything useful.

In order to advance, he needed to consume some Energy, and there was nothing to consume.

”Hey, I want to advance,” Kyle said, hoping that his words would magically conjure something useful.

And sure enough, a big stone made of Energy immediately appeared in front of him.

As Kyle looked at the stone, his brows rose.

Energy Stones were the main currency. Yet, while this was definitely a stone made of Energy, it was not an Energy Stone.

This thing was over a thousand times bigger, and its Energy density was off the charts!

It would be more fitting to call this thing an Energy Rock.

Kyle took hold of the Energy Rock and extended his will towards it.

In an instant, dense streams of white Energy entered Kyleʼs body from all his openings.

Compared to the previous times, Kyle didnʼt disperse the Energy as soon as it entered his body.

ʼTime to become a Primal!ʼ

As more and more Energy gathered in Kyleʼs body, a storm appeared in the room.

Luckily, the room was specifically designed to handle these kinds of storms, and it didnʼt even shake or vibrate.

As the Energy entered Kyleʼs body, he felt like a barrier had broken inside of him.

The Energy Pathways suddenly expanded drastically, and the speed of his Energy Circulation multiplied.

Kyleʼs body was shaking under all the stress the Energy put him under.

20% of the Energy absorbed flowed into six specific spots inside his body.

Right arm, left arm, right leg, left leg, abdomen, and chest.

Kyleʼs perception stretched towards his head.

ʼThere should be a seventh one in the head, but you will easily overlook it if you donʼt know about its existence.ʼ

Sure enough, there was one more spot where some Energy flowed to.

The reason why people easily overlooked that spot was because of the much more prominent and bigger spot appearing right above it.

20% of the Energy was shared among these seven spots, but the remaining 80% were shared among only four spots, with one of them also being in the head.

The first seven spots represented the first seven Clusters one had to unlock to advance.

Unlocking a Cluster would strengthen the body part associated with it while also slightly increasing the bodyʼs overall power.

These seven Clusters were the primary focus of the Primal Realm.

The Primal Realm was all about oneʼs physical power, after all.

The first of the four bigger Clusters was inside the heart.

This was the eighth Cluster, and it was different from the first seven.

The eighth Cluster represented the body as a whole, and it was much more difficult to unlock than the first seven.

The first seven just needed hard work to be unlocked.

But the eighth one needed two things to be unlocked.

First, the first seven Clusters had to be unlocked.

Second, one needed to know the Full Law of Body.
