<h4>Chapter 397 Only for a spilt second</h4>
Susan narrowed his eyes andnded in front of the tower.
"Come with me, I''ll help you. Otherwise, it would take you too much time to gain enlightenment."
Kyle followed the old man, but an astonished expression appeared on his face when Susan waved his hand and arge part of the tower''s surface crashed down, revealing an opening leading to darkness. Susan chuckled at his expression.
"It''s normal. After the guardians left, all the towers on this were opened to the public. You should set aside some time to gather talented youngsters and let them explore the towers. There''s still a lot of resources inside them."
Kyle nodded and in the next second, asked Susan to wait for a minute because he needed to tell the others about the towers being open to the public.
Susan''s eyebrow twitched a bit, but he let it slide because he was older and needed to see the bigger picture. After Kyle finished telling Yue about the open towers, he entered the dark space with Susan. In an instant, the duo arrived inside a familiar forest. Kyle looked around.
"It''s the first floor..."
Susan nodded and asked Kyle to sit cross-legged mid-air. Then, the old man fiddled with the storage ring on his finger and took out arge pulsating brown crystal, cing it in front of Kyle.
"Just ce your hand on the crystal and try to guide the energy inside it into your body. This crystal is made of a special material that can''t be found on this, which is why there''s only one of its kind here. And you won''t easily find anyone else with it either."
"The crystal''s main function is to measure the strength of those who have reached the pseudo divine rank and help them form an illusionary image in their mind by consuming their divine energy, so they can always see their strengths and weaknesses."
"But since you haven''t reached the pseudo-divine rank yet, once you absorb its energy, it will help you step into the Ascendant state for a split second..."
He didn''t voice his next words out loud and just looked at Kyle, who was listening attentively.
''But only for a split second, though...''
After Susan finished, Kyle took a deep breath and ced his hand on the crystal, which was almost the same size as his body. He closed his eyes and patiently guided the pulsating energy inside the crystal into his body.
Time passed slowly, and after a few minutes that felt like an eternity to Kyle, a faintyer of golden energy surrounded his body, and he entered a trance-like state.
Susan quickly took the crystal from his hand to prevent any damage. Then, he distanced himself from Kyle to see if the young man would seed or not.
However, the golden energy around Kyle faded as quickly as it appeared, and a pale blue light enveloped his body. It trembled slightly, and the air grew silent.
At that moment, Kyle opened his eyes and found himself in a wide, white space. He looked around but didn''t see anyone else, except for a small white wall in front of him. The wall was just up to his knees as if trying its best to block his path. He blinked as a strange thought popped into his mind that he needed to break the wall.
"Oh?"
Kyle took a step forward, but instead of breaking the wall, he raised his leg and effortlessly jumped over it. If only the universe had a face, it would probably be speechless after witnessing his actions.
Meanwhile, Susan gasped as blue mes appeared and enveloped Kylepletely. The mes had an icy aura and vanished as soon as Kyle opened his eyes which sparkled with a brilliant glow.
"That was surprisingly easy..."
Kyle clenched his fists and felt his strength had tripled. He also sensed another energy in the air, totally different from mana. It was lower in quantity, but it started entering his body as if recognizing that he had reached the pseudo-divine rank.
"At least now I don''t have to worry about running out of divine energy if I use it all."
Kyle chuckled and stretched his body.
In the distance, Susan had a bewildered expression on his face. It was the first time he had seen someone reach the pseudo-divine rank so easily. Not to mention, Kyle only had a split second.
''Damn, that much time isn''t even enough to touch the realm of the divine.''
Susan approached Kyle and ced the crystal in front of him once again.
"I believe you''ve reached the pseudo-divine rank."
Kyle nodded with a confident smile.
"It was easy. Just had to cross a little wall."
Susan''s eyebrow twitched. It took him countless attempts just to enter the pseudo-divine rank, and now this young man was rubbing salt in his wounds by saying it was easy. He quickly cleared his throat to change the topic before his frustration got the best of him.
"Now that you''re done, do you want to form an illusionary image in your mind to know your strength whenever you want? If yes, let the crystal consume your divine energy to create the image."
"The crystal is not connected to anything. It''ll absorb your energy and form an image that will always measure your strength. Then, whenever you think about it, the image will appear at the corner of your eyes to show you your current strength, and only you can see it."
Kyle didn''t hesitate. He ced his hand on the crystal and let it absorb his divine energy. Anyway, he was getting bothered whenever he saw so many question marks in his stats. But now, he can finally see everything clearly without any issues.
After a few minutes, he opened his eyes and nced at the image that reced his stats.
