Chapter 230: Fleurs Transcendent Pathway (2/2)

Fleur said after I went back to her side. She had a cup full of freshly brewed tea on her hand which she handed to me as soon as I sat next to her. At one point, she set up a table and brewed tea for us.

Due to my overwhelming advantage against them, that training didn't even last an hour. So I didn't really work hard at all. In fact, I didn't even break a sweat.

”Thank you. The five will have to rest first. Just looking at them. They already improved significantly but… the Heroes from our world will always have abnormal rates of growth. At the rate that we are going, Elmer still needs a week of the same training intensity to completely fuse his last Secondary Core. Unless he experienced some kind of enlightenment which could help him hasten the process, he has to continue this training.”

I took the tea and sipped it. I'm more of a coffee guy but drinking this tea she made… it's a waste to not savor it.

”A week and it seems as if you're lamenting about that. Don't you know? Elmer is near 100 years old. What is a week for him?”

Ah. Right. For them, that's already fast enough progress. But if I go with the prediction of the Principal, the descent of the Dark World Transcendents will happen within 3 days. A week might be a bit late.

As long as they don't immediately declare war against us, we could build a sizable force against them.

”It seems I got too used to our own progress. You're right. If I tell him my estimation, he might be more eager to train that he might push himself more than needed so I better not.”

If I compare Fleur to myself, based on what I observed from our sparring and on what she had shown me, her Power Level is well above 200. Arland only below her by a small margin.

The two Noxian Transcendents are probably at the same level as Fleur but with the help of the Dark World, they were exhibiting a more destructive power than Fleur and Arland. If there's another hidden Transcendent, then that someone would be the real leader of the Noxians.

What I'm currently worried about is… the possibility of someone being a Rank 2 Transcendent. What will be the divide between Rank 1 and Rank 2? Power Level is one thing but if I have to guess, it's an increase in realm.

Nysia had just started her Transcendent Path so some things were still unclear to her.

Arland is too busy with his Formation that I currently won't have the time to ask him. It's also better that he fix it now than later so…

Fleur is the only one I could ask for concrete information about it.

”By the way, Can you tell me something about your Transcendent Pathway?”

When she heard my question, Fleur turned her head to me and stared at my face for a good while.

”You're not joking…”

”Well, yes. Do I look like I'm joking?”

”No. I thought you have already seen your Transcendent Pathway, given how strong you are.”

”Ah. Right. My Mortal Pathway is not complete yet, right? That's why any information about it is currently locked. Glimpsing into my Transcendent Pathway is most likely locked behind it.”

”I see. I kind of forgot that important information about you. I'm sorry.”

”No. You don't have to. Just if it's not rude to ask, I want to at least understand it. The enemies that will descend here will surely have started treading their Transcendent Pathway.”

”I understand. It's really treated as a secret of a Transcendent but if it's you, I don't mind you knowing about it. Let's see…”

With her trust in me and maybe her slight interest as well, Fleur explained to me what a Transcendent Pathway is. At least to her understanding…

After completing her Mortal Pathway and successfully passing the Transcendent Trials and transforming into a Transcendent, she spent some time to fully consolidate her new state of being before what we called the 'Glimpsing into Transcendent Pathway' happened.

In her recollection, she couldn't really remember too much what she'd seen in that glimpse; however, a clear path opened up to her right after that and upon stepping into it, her Transcendent Pathway was established.

”My Transcendent Pathway… It put me back to the same state as someone at the Elemental Awakening Realm. I needed to awaken my Main Elemental Core once more. Currently, I'm still in the middle of awakening it and it does not only involve just absorbing more Elemental Energy. To awaken it, I need to understand and incorporate these with it.”

Fleur opened her palm and from it, three ice-like strings of Energy sprouted. Those strings of Energy stood and danced freely above her palm.

Upon seeing that, it instantly reminded me of something I possessed.

The Strands of Connection to the Spirit Ocean…
