Chapter 45: Rapid Growth Period x Triple Gains?“So tired!”

In the camp, Luo Lin dropped to the ground, completely exhausted.

His earlier observation wasn’t wrong. Although the system indicated his latent aura was 100, which theoretically should allow him to maintain  for 100 seconds,

in reality, he had only lasted less than ten seconds before he was spent.

“Ten seconds, not bad.” Biscuit nodded while silently breathing a sigh of relief.

At last, she had found something about this kid that was somewhat normal.

His initial amount of aura, along with how his body and mind weren’t yet accustomed to , was no different from an ordinary person.

“Rest for two minutes, then get up and continue practicing .” Biscuit instructed directly.

“Rest for two minutes?” Luo Lin blinked in surprise.

He felt utterly drained. Two minutes… wait? Luo Lin looked at his hand in disbelief.

His stamina… was recovering so quickly.

“Don’t be surprised. It’s not your stamina recovering fast, but that you didn’t actually use much stamina.” Biscuit explained.

“For newly awakened  users, neither their body nor mind is used to the presence of . The amount of aura they can manipulate and use is only a small fraction of their life energy.”

“So, while it feels like you’ve used up all your aura, in reality, your body still contains plenty of latent aura. You just need to give it time to convert into usable aura again.”

“This period is also known as the rapid growth phase for  users. Simple training can cause a massive increase in  ability, but once you fully tap into this hidden aura, your rapid growth period will come to an end.”

“And here’s another benefit: practicing  is the fastest way to replenish life energy in your body.”

As Biscuit explained this, Luo Lin could already feel that his stamina—no, his —had fully recovered. In fact, it seemed even stronger.

With a thought, Luo Lin opened his system panel.

【Level 100 God System】.

【Name: Luo Lin】.

【Level: 1 (487/1000)】.

【Vitality: 1】.

【Mental Power: 1】.

【Nen Ability: 11/110】.

Luo Lin looked at the increase in the  ability section of the system.

Indeed, it wasn’t his imagination. Just from that one session of , his  had grown stronger, and…

Luo Lin also noticed that his experience had increased by one point, filling him with joy.

After finishing that exhausting session of , he had wondered if his experience would increase.

But Biscuit’s earlier explanation had dampened his hopes, since it seemed like he hadn’t actually reached his limit. If he hadn’t pushed to the limit, he might not gain any experience.

But now, it seemed his luck was good after all.

On further thought, it made sense.

After all, his experience points had never been tied solely to physical exertion.

His strength and stamina had increased significantly since the beginning, yet he could still gain experience from running ten kilometers or so!

“Alright, time’s up. Get up and keep training!” Biscuit reminded him.

“Got it!” Luo Lin jumped up and resumed his  practice.

He could increase his  ability, speed up the fusion of life energy with his body, and, most importantly, gain experience at a ridiculous rate.

Triple gains.

For Luo Lin, practicing  couldn’t be more perfect.

A few seconds later.

Luo Lin was once again lying flat on the ground, panting heavily.

“Very good, you lasted five seconds longer than before. Nice progress.” Biscuit nodded approvingly.

“I think… I might’ve… figured out a bit of a trick.” Luo Lin gasped, speaking between breaths.

“A trick?” Biscuit was momentarily stunned, but then a look of surprise flashed across her face.

Two minutes later.

Luo Lin had fully restored his aura once again. This time, without waiting for Biscuit’s prompt, he immediately stood up and resumed his  practice.

This time.

Ten seconds… twenty seconds… thirty seconds…

A full minute passed before Luo Lin exhausted his aura and collapsed to the ground.

“Just as I thought…”

“Hahaha!”

Despite gasping for breath, Luo Lin couldn’t help but laugh.

One minute. seaʀᴄh thё Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

While it was still far from the theoretical rate of one aura point per second of , it was already a qualitative leap forward.

Most importantly, Luo Lin had grasped the trick to controlling , significantly reducing the wasted aura.

Meanwhile, Biscuit, watching from the side, couldn’t help but twitch.

She had thought this guy’s performance in  practice was just like that of an ordinary person, but now…

She had been too hasty!

After just two practice sessions, he had already figured out how to control his aura. Once his body fully adjusted to , didn’t that mean he would be a competent  user in terms of control?

Biscuit sighed internally as she looked at Luo Lin lying on the ground.

Though she had suspected he had a natural talent for controlling aura when he effortlessly performed advanced techniques earlier, this level of talent was a bit excessive.

Thinking back to all her efforts in teaching Luo Lin, Biscuit couldn’t help but feel a twinge of bitterness.

“While teaching a genius brings a sense of accomplishment, teaching a monster like him brings none at all!”

However, at this moment, Luo Lin wasn’t nearly as happy as Biscuit imagined.

Because he had realized something—he had been too hasty.

“One session of , one experience point… Originally, I could finish a session in ten seconds, but now it takes a full minute. And as my aura grows, the time required will only increase…”

Luo Lin now wanted to smack himself.

Why did he figure out how to control his aura so quickly? Couldn’t he have been a bit slower and farmed more experience first?

What’s more, Luo Lin had discovered something else, and he wasn’t sure if it was good or bad.

His aura growth rate seemed… a little terrifying.

【Level 100 God System】.

【Name: Luo Lin】.

【Level: 1 (489/1000)】.

【Vitality: 1】.

【Mental Power: 1】.

【Nen Ability: 13/133】.

133 points of aura. From just three sessions of  practice, Luo Lin’s aura had increased by 33 points. It didn’t seem like much, but…

Thanks to his heightened mental power, Luo Lin quickly noticed something absurd.

133 was exactly 100 x 1.1, cubed!

In other words, each session of  practice had increased his latent aura by 10% of the total.

If the system panel displayed decimal points, showing 133.1, then it would be confirmed beyond a doubt.

Even without the decimal, if his next session increased his aura to 146 or more, then it would be fully confirmed.

Three minutes later.

After resting for two minutes and lasting one minute in , Luo Lin once again lay on the ground, staring at the  section of the system: (14/146). He fell silent.

If this was good news, then it was great news—after all, increasing his  meant growing stronger, which was undoubtedly a good thing.

But the bad news…

It meant the number of experience points he could farm would be far lower than he had imagined.

At least, since he had already seen the potential to level up, he wasn’t too short on experience. Otherwise, who knows how disappointed he’d be right now!

“So, this is the rapid growth period Biscuit mentioned for  users? Every session of  increases latent aura by 10%. It really is a rapid growth period, but I wonder how long it will last.” Luo Lin sighed slightly as he calmed himself down.

(Biscuit: I didn’t! Don’t spread lies! Who said that?!)

(She only said there’s a normal rapid growth period for new  users, never anything this ridiculous!)
