Chapter 487 The passage of time here is different
Kyle gazed at the excited old man who asked him about the rank of his spiritual energy stat with an eager expression. He opened his mouth with a serious look.
"It's just showing (F)-rank."
Hubert nodded.
"It's to be expected. Of all the energies in this universe, spiritual energy is the most powerful, and understanding it is the most challenging. Just like the mana stat, spiritual energy is also categorized into various ranks. To attain a higher stat in this, one must put in a great deal of effort!"
Kyle thought for a moment, and his curiosity got the best of him.
"Master, what is the rank of your spiritual energy stat?"
Hubert raised his brow and waved his hand in a dismissive manner.
"Nothing to boast about, but I have just reached the divine-rank in that stat."
Kyle let out an 'Oh' and gazed at the dark, starless sky. He already knew the old man was strong because in the time they had spent together, he had seen Hubert battle countless manaless beasts effortlessly.
Nonetheless, Kyle had reached the divine-rank physique, but achieving the transcendent-rank physique wasn't easy.
Including the divine and transcendent rank physique, Hubert had already shared all the necessary knowledge with Kyle regarding the divine and transcendent rank.
Just like in the pseudo-divine rank, where accumulating sufficient divine energy and progressing through the four stages - zero, low, average, and elite - is essential to move to the divine rank, the divine rank follows a similar principle. The moment someone breaks through to the divine rank, their divine-energy stat, which is at the Final stage - elite, resets to zero.
Kyle froze in his spot after processing the words that echoed in his ears, and his eyes widened slightly as he stared at the old man across from him.
From his expression, Hubert quickly remembered that when he was explaining the time difference between the No Mana Land and the outside world to the old couple, they left his side even before he completed his words.
"Those darn oldies... Ugh, I'm old as well."
He scratched his head and noticed Kyle's focused gaze on him. He let out a sigh, realizing he couldn't blame anyone else as he himself had forgotten about it later.
"I think I forgot to mention it. The passage of time here is different from the outside world. Ten years here equals a year outside."
Kyle sat down on the ground and let out a heavy breath. He really had no idea.
"You could have told me a little sooner..."
Hubert raised his brow.
"Why, would you not have worked hard then?"
Kyle grabbed his knees and stood up straight before he resumed climbing the mountain.
"No, I would have worked just as hard as I am doing right now. But at least I would have known and been relieved that even if I forget them, they won't forget me."
Hubert walked beside him. It usually takes countless years for someone to achieve the transcendent-rank physique, but he thought if it's Kyle, maybe the young man will reach it earlier than expected.T/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m
