Chapter 3: Ch 3: Soul Orbs (2)
Emrys's family is not rich, his mother Slivya Rosefield helps his father Alex Frazier run a small fruit shop at the edge of the community. Although the family conditions are not very bad, they are definitely not good.
Spending a hundred thousand credits is already heart-breaking for the Frazier Family, and that ordinary White Soul Orb had consumed all the family's savings. But even so, Alex and Slivya still gritted their teeth, borrowed from their relatives, and scraped together another 100,000 credits to buy an ordinary White Soul Orb again.
It stands to reason that if a person has the qualification to become a Soul Master, then the probability of the first awakening is the greatest, the second time the probability will decrease, and if the third time is not successful, there will be no chance for that person to awaken the Soul Mark.
Essentially, if a person does not awaken Soul Mark in their entire lifetime, that person won't be able to become a Bronze Soul Master. That person can at most cultivate to the Ninth Order of Soul Apprentice. That's all.
That night one year ago, Emrys's predecessor held the ordinary White Soul Orb. He experienced immense mental pressure even before attempting to use the ordinary White Soul Orb, afraid that he would be unable to awaken the Soul Mark and would waste his parent's money and efforts. Ultimately, he succumbed to the strain, resulting in his death.
Coincidentally, 'Emrys' crossed over and took possession of his body along with the unused ordinary White Soul Orb.
Moreover, to Emrys's surprise, he discovered a multicolored orb illuminating deep within his soul.
He was first surprised, but after trying to explore the multicolored orb in order to know more about this mysterious object, he discovered that the orb could show him his current information in the form of a status window, and at the same time, it could strengthen Soul Orbs.
For example, an ordinary Soul Orb could be strengthened to become an elite-leveled Soul Orb. After further enhancement, it could also become Epic and Legendary Soul Orb.
This discovery shocked him.
Suddenly coming to the transcendent world, Emrys was very curious about things such as "Soul Orb", "Soul Mark", and "Soul Force". But even so, Emrys did not blindly use this Ordinary White Soul Orb worth 100,000 credits.
Emrys knew very well that the original owner of the body had failed to awaken twice, not to mention that he only had an ordinary White Soul Orb in his hand. Moreover, he had just crossed over and had not yet adapted to anything. Thus, blindly trying to awaken Soul Mark will be equal to courting death.
But the most important reason he didn't try to blindly awaken the Soul Mark is because of the Multicolored Orb.
Since this Multicolored Orb has an "enhancing" function and seems to be able to strengthen Soul Orbs, of course, it needs to be studied carefully.
After a period of observation and attempts, Emrys roughly grasped the rules of strengthening functions.
This Multicolored Orb uses "Soul Point" as the energy to strengthen the Soul Orb. The Multicolored Orb generates 1 Soul Point every day, and every 10 Soul Points can strengthen the White Soul Orb once.
Therefore, Emrys could only experiment with the Soul Orb in his hand.
When he upgraded the original Ordinary White Soul Orb to the Elite-leveled White Soul Orb with the first 10 Soul Points, Emrys immediately understood that he had obtained a treasure that could change his life completely.
Having inherited the memory of his predecessor, Emrys knew very well the meaning of the high-leveled Soul Orbs and made a decision on the spot. No matter whether he can successfully awaken the Soul Mark or not, no matter how much time it will take, he will first upgrade the Soul Orb to the Legendary level before attempting to awaken the Soul Mark.
Since then, Emrys has opened the road of adding Soul Points in Soul Orb.
Ordinary to Elite → 10 Soul Points.
Elite to Master → 20 Soul Points.
Master to Epic → 40 Soul Points.
Epic to Legendary → 80 Soul Points.
Upgrading the quality of White Soul Orb from Epic to Legendary level actually consumed 8 times the Soul Point than initially.
A total of 150 Soul Points were added to the Ordinary White Soul Orb, and it took him 150 days to upgrade the Soul Orb to Legendary level.
When the Soul Points were added and the Soul Orb was strengthened to the Legendary level, Emrys was ready to awaken his Soul Mark, but he was shocked to suddenly discover that the Soul Points could still be added to the Soul Orb. It means he could continue to strengthen his Soul Orb.
This was completely unexpected. According to the knowledge revolving around the world, the highest quality of the Soul Orb of any level, then be it White Soul Orb, Bronze Soul Orb, or Silver Soul Orb, can only be at Legendary level.
Of course, it is a good thing that the Soul Orb can be further upgraded, but for Emrys, it needs to be considered. After all, there is not much time left. If he doesn't awaken the Soul Mark in time, he will never be able to awaken it again in his entire lifetime.
Because the Soul Orb can awaken the Soul Mark and greatly increase the speed of Soul Force Cultivation, and starting from the Sixth Order of the Soul Apprentice, the difficulty of each level of cultivation is far more than the first five levels. It can be said that it is difficult to improve further without a Soul Mark.
Being overtaken by others is nothing, but once you are 18 years old and have not awakened the Soul Mark, you can no longer awaken.
According to the previous rule of adding Soul Points, it will take him 16 times more Soul Points to upgrade the Soul Orb from Legendary Level to a higher level than what it took him to upgrade the Ordinary White Soul Orb to Legendary Level. It means it will take him a total of 160 days, nearly half a year.
And this is still the ideal situation. If you need to add points 32 times, or even 64 times... Emrys can no longer continue to imagine.
Emrys took a deep breath and then immediately decided to give it a try after thinking for a while. He decided to add Soul Points at least one more time.
After all, this is the opportunity to upgrade the Soul Orb to a level that has never appeared in the Infinite Soul Star.
There is a saying, "If you want to do it, do it to the extreme!"
So Emrys began the long road of adding Soul Points in Soul Orb again.
And until today, on the last day of the third year of high school, Emrys has added 150 Soul Points. All he needed was ten more Soul Points and his Soul Orb would evolve again to a higher level.
