1351 There is no point in continuing this any further
There was no endpoint to Nux’s improvement, it is just that the progress he makes slows down so much that it becomes impractical to train a certain skill any longer.
Nux, Vyriana, and Faustina all stared at each other in silence. On one side, they were tempted to spend 5 more years, trying to push the Skill and reach the threshold, and on the other side, they wanted to try something else.
Spending 5 more years would give them a more accurate answer to their questions.
The only two results from it would be Nux reaching the threshold and not reaching it.
If he reached it, it would be a good thing and then they could push forward to the Assimilation Stage and if they do not reach it, then the certainty of their claim of there being no threshold would strengthen even further, giving them more assurance in their future actions.
Honestly, thinking about the two results, spending 5 more years felt like a much better option, however, Nux was against it.
And this time, it was not because he was bored or that he didn’t wish to repeat the same boring task again and again.
He was a man who trained under Vyriana for two centuries, even if he complained, most of the time, it was just to get pity from the two heartless women and get the chance to meet his wives. However, this didn’t mean he was someone a normal person could relate to.
Nux wasn’t the man he was when he just reincarnated in this world. He had come a long way and after his long training with Vyriana, his head had become messed up as well.
The Dragon had influenced him and he now liked the feeling of endless strength coursing throughout his body.
The sight of his enemies lying on the floor while he stepped on them, the feeling of squashing his enemies away like they were mere bugs, Nux was addicted to this. Not to mention his end goal of living a worry-free life with his wives, For all that, it didn’t matter what he had to go through, whether it was the pain of his body being broken to unbelievable degrees or continuing the same thing again and again for an unknown amount of time, nothing mattered and Nux was up for it.
However,
“There is no point in continuing this any further.”
Nux spoke.
“Why? We still need to know if there is a threshold to your improvement or not.” Vyriana replied.
“And what if we do find the threshold?”
Nux questioned, then, with a serious look on his face, he glanced at the Dragon and,
“Vyriana, don’t forget, the Skill we are currently working on is a 1 Star Skill, the easiest of the lot. The combined number of years I have spent mastering this technique is around 7 years, and you want me to spend 5 more years in it.
Let’s consider the best-case scenario, even if we do find the Threshold, it would mean that to reach the threshold of a 1-star skill, we needed 12 whole years and right now, I didn’t even mention the time it would need to further break the threshold and reach the Accumulation Stage.
Don’t forget, this skill was merely a test. Everyone we do here is merely a small experiment before I work on my real technique.
If a normal 1-star skill requires more than 12 years, then what about the Zenith Flow?
There are thousands of 1-Star Techniques that we have combined into the Zenith Flow, not to mention other countless techniques of higher Stars and then the five 12-Star Techniques you gave me at the end.
How long do you think would it take me to Master all of that? Even if I become a Saint, I can only live for 5000 years, someone like me cannot possibly spend more than 12 years on a simple 1 Star technique when I have thousands of techniques I need to Master.”
“…”
This time, Vyriana turned silent.
Not only her, even Faustina, who had never once considered time as a factor started thinking. A grim look appeared on her face.
What Nux said was true, Faustina also knew how the Zenith Flow was created, the technique was Nux’s entire foundation, there is no way he can form his Law without completely Mastering it.
If the Threshold indeed existed, then…
This might very well be the end of Nux’s cultivation journey because there is no way he would be able to form his Law before his Lifespan ran out.
‘It is the Lifespan again.’
Faustina thought inwardly, her fist clenching in anger as she recalled some painful memories.
Looking at Nux, she recalled all her children who breathed their last breath in her arms before leaving this world permanently. In an instant, her blue eyes moistened up, however, before Vyriana and Nux could notice anything, she used Mana to dry those tears up and the tears then disappeared.
Faustina then momentarily closed her eyes, burying the memories deep into her mind.
On the other hand, Vyriana, who had no clue what Faustina was thinking simply stared at Nux and, “Then what do you want to do?”
The Dragon questioned.
“We will start Mastering the Zenith Flow.”
Nux answered.
“…?”
Vyriana tilted her head in confusion.
Nux still hadn’t mastered any of the techniques to the Assimilation Level, directly moving to a complex technique like Zenith Flow without any knowledge was not a wise move, Or at least that’s what Vyriana thought, however,
“I agree with him.”
Faustina spoke up.
Both Nux and Vyriana turned the Progenitor and the woman reasoned,
“Nux doesn’t have any single techniques anymore, after the formation of Zenith Flow, everything was integrated into it.
The Assimilation Stage is the Stage where one understands the impact their technique has on the universe.
After the creation of the Zenith Flow, none of his techniques have any impact on the universe, so there is a possibility that the Assimilation doesn’t exist for any of his techniques except for…”
“The Zenith Flow…”
Nux completed his mother’s sentence.
