Chapter 222 Codex

Adam's laboratory.

The moment he thrust his hands into the orb, his body in the outside world began to convulse intensely. So much so that he fell down from the couch and continued to thrash about on the ground.

"GAAAHHHH!!" He roared in agony as blood slowly started to seep out from his facial orifices.

He had thought he had made enough preparations over the years, but in the end, it turned out that they were not enough. Not even close.

Now, he could only grit his teeth and endure the pain as he continued to absorb the soul fragment. Along with the increase in his own spiritual power, memories started to flood in like tidal waves.

Memories that belonged to an expert powerhouse of this vast universe!

Although the memories were fragmented, there were still quite a lot of them. Adam couldn't help but curse himself for even trying to absorb this soul. His mind felt as if countless ants were biting into it.

However, along with the intensity of pain, his soul was strengthened at a remarkable pace. Adam had to put all his attention on enduring it, so he could only see bits and pieces of the memories that were pouring in.

It was of a high-ranking Magus who started from the bottom and climbed his way to the top of a large organization somewhere out there in the universe.

As the leader, he commanded countless powerful Magi. Many planets fell under his territory, its substantial resources all belonging to the organization he led.

Memories of countless spells and magic combat techniques...

A large number of mana extraction techniques as well as body enhancement techniques...

Memories of visiting fantastical places...

Personal experiences relating to mindfulness...

There were so many memories that the expert had accumulated throughout his long lifetime, that although they were fragmented, it felt as if Adam's mind would explode from the overload.

Just when he thought that he wouldn't be able to take it anymore, everything returned to normal as if whatever happened before was just an illusion. The pain receded just as quickly as it had arrived.

A large number of spells, combat techniques, mana extraction techniques, and body enhancement techniques now permanently resided in his mind. And these were the ones of the least value.

The ones that held the most worth were the experiences of the expert!

"This powerhouse seems to be in the upper echelons of the Magus community in the universe. I can confirm this by his memories," Adam muttered to himself.

"With these experiences forever ingrained in my mind, I barely have to take any detours on my path as a Magus!"

After composing himself, he decided to comb through the memories and properly organize them. There were so many techniques to choose from. He had to make sure that he used only the best of the best.

"Only through a solid foundation will I be able to progress further as a Magus," He spoke with great determination. "Utilizing the best techniques that are suitable to me is crucial."

The youth slowly closed his eyes and entered a tranquil state almost similar to mindfulness. Except, instead of gathering mana in his body, he had now delved into the deeper parts of his mind to organize the memories of the powerhouse.

An entire night passed by silently. Adam opened his eyes at dawn. Just like the sun illuminated the lands kissed by twilight, the youth's eyes shone with an otherwordly light.

It took him the whole night, but he had managed to sort out most of the memories.

From spells of various ranks, techniques from the internal mana system, arcane knowledge and experiences, and locations to many fantastical and hidden places.

He now knew all of them like the back of his hand.

Ultimately, he found himself the perfect technique to use. Early on he had acquired the Astral Tyrant Manual which was a body enhancement technique. As for the mana extraction technique, he had been using the one given by the academy.

But now, he had something far superior!

A mana extraction technique personally practiced by the powerhouse whose memories Adam had just absorbed. This technique could be said to be one of the reasons why that Magus had reached such an incredible height of power.

The youth's lips slowly curled up into a faint smile as he muttered the name of this supreme technique,
