Chapter 2600 Development of Minos' innate powers

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Feeling his strength at the peak of level 114, Minos ignored the corpse who was staring at him with wide eyes.

'My cultivation base is now 160%, a 100% improvement compared to my previous state when my Physique was only Divine grade. Also, I can temporarily increase my strength by four levels by stealing someone else's cultivation base.'

Minos analyzed his old characteristics, which had improved with this qualitative improvement in his physique.

'In addition, I can help my comrades even more than before.' Minos summoned another of Abby's corpses and, using Wovar's cultivation base, raised the corpse's cultivation from level 111 to a peak of level 113!

Previously, he could only raise his allies' cultivation by a maximum of one level, and even then, he could only help a limited number of cultivators concurrently. Not only that, the stronger the allies he helped, the smaller the number he could help. Now, with the qualitative improvement of his Physique, this limit has increased more than tenfold!

'It's possible that in a short time, I'll be able to help even the Supremes become temporarily stronger!' Minos clenched his fists as Wovar and Clexvog appeared in the Stuart family's cave, the one who had lost some of his powers, looking rather pale.

"Boss," said the two giants as they stood in their reduced size.

Minos looked at the two giants, while the two corpses looked at him with the same feeling as the two giants, hardly believing the current situation of their superior.

Minos nodded to these four individuals and finished analyzing his qualitative improvements. 'Besides my old abilities, I feel I can now steal my opponents' cultivation permanently... I'm just not sure how stable this is for my spiritual base.'

He had done something similar before, when he stole the cultivation of dead corpses, such as the giant skeletons in the Spiritual World. However, the amount he could steal from the skeletons and give to his allies, or even absorb, was too small for him to consider.

Now, however, he felt he could even do this with living beings, and with a more significant fraction.

'I would have to cultivate in seclusion for the equivalent of 100 years to reach level 111. But with this trait, I could cut that time by more than half... But would it be stable? Or would it be like misusing spiritual resources?' He wondered, imagining that he should test it on enemies.

He didn't want to do it with allies or even weapons—the example of the two corpses next to him. His companions suffered to become stronger. Using them to test his new trait would be a mistake. Especially now, when so many powerful enemies were fighting against the Armhands.

'I feel I will have a better effect on individuals of a similar level as myself.' Minos looked at his companions, who were watching him with wide eyes.

His senses told him he would receive fewer improvements from individuals of levels close to his own, but those improvements would be easier for him to control.

But he really needed to test his current reality. His senses were good, but only by practicing would he have an accurate idea of his limits.

'Either way, this is a wonderful power. As long as there are enemies around who are as strong or stronger than me, I can always shorten my journey to the peak!'

...

Meanwhile, outside the Stuart family's cave, the guild's Supreme Leader and Elder Navey arrived almost simultaneously.

At first, they paid attention to Minos, sensing the level 114 aura of the human in the cave, as well as the improvement of a corpse that Minos had obviously helped.

They both smiled as they imagined the effects of this qualitative improvement that Minos was experiencing, each with their own thoughts.

But after a few seconds of contemplating the sight of Minos chatting animatedly with the four beings inside the cave, both Supremes looked at each other, ignoring other elders nearby.

The qualitative advancement of Minos' Physique caught the attention of all the Supremes in the guild!

"Supreme Leader." Navey said as he gestured a greeting to Jalai.

The man with the white hair, beard, and mustache smiled inwardly as he nodded to Navey. "General Minos has improved a lot, huh? I didn't expect him to be so close to a qualitative breakthrough."

Navey nodded in agreement, but didn't show the same surprise as the guild leader. "Minos is a fortunate boy. I already imagined that he would achieve this. I just didn't expect it to be at level 110."

"Really? Does the Elder know the General?" Jalai approached Navey, taking the opportunity to probe the subject.

"I've heard from him a few times. Minos has done amazing things since he entered The Obsidian Shore. He completed the Black Heart Mission himself."

Navey said what everyone already knew without revealing too much of his interest in such a human.

"Then I won't impede the Elder talking to Minos today. Go ahead, please," Jalai said with a twinkle in his eye.

"The Supreme Leader needn't worry. I'm just curious to get a closer look at him. Actually, I think it's best to let him grow without pressure. For now, I just want to observe his potential." Navey looked around and saw several elders hovering near Minos' cave.

This was not the ideal situation for him to approach Minos.

He greeted a few elders in the area and left as soon as he arrived.

'Navey... You're hiding something. I just don't know if it's bad for the guild.' Jalai watched in the direction the level 121 Supreme had gone, as he continued to stand there with his hands behind his back, while the other Elders didn't get any closer to Minos than he already was.

"Elders, let's let General Minos continue his journey. We will have results from him soon." Jalai said in a good-natured tone, obviously happy about the birth of the first Celestial Physique in his guild in this generation!

Celestial Physique was the hallmark of Celestial, something that rarely appeared in cultivators below the 13th stage!

That's why everyone was so interested in Minos!

But with the Supreme Leader's order, the strongest members of the guild soon went back the way they came, leaving Minos to continue his journey without interference, at least for the time being.

'We'll talk about this in the future, Minos.' Jalai returned to the guild Council with a smile on his face.
