NOVEL NEXT Chapter 444: Burning Star Body
Four days passed in the blink of an eye. The sun was shining in the sky, and inside the villa's training room, Daniel was watching Alice and Tiana spar against two of his Fallen.
"It looks like my method worked. I guess it's time for me to enter seclusion," he muttered to himself as the events of the past four days replayed in his mind.
A lot had happened during these four days. He had thought of many ways to break through the limitations of the two girls, but every method was extremely dangerous, and neither of them had the capability to endure it.
That was when he realized just how ridiculous the restrictions at rank F really were. After all, he hadn't stayed in that rank for long himself. Right after becoming an Awakened, he had entered the Tower and cleared the first floor.
That's why he had never experienced the same problem these girls were facing—except for when he was stuck at rank C, when his strength stopped increasing and he was forced to upgrade his body and soul.
When he thought back to that, an idea came to him. If he had been able to evolve his body and soul, then why couldn't these two girls? That's when he started thinking of ways to upgrade their physique.
And luckily, he did have something. He still had the Indestructible Star Body technique he had bought in the Erin Free Zone, and he could use it to help evolve the bodies of the two girls.
However, there was a small problem. The girls were far too weak to use such a technique. Even if he helped them, they would most likely die halfway through the process.
So, he used the Indestructible Star Body technique as a base to create a weaker technique. The result was a success.
He managed to create a technique called Burning Star Body. To make sure it wasn't too weak, he also added the element of fire into it.
Once the technique was complete, he gave it to the two girls and asked them to use it to evolve their bodies. Naturally, they were shocked, but they didn't refuse.
On the very first day, they used the technique and successfully obtained the Burning Star Body. It didn't have that many special features, but it did increase their physical power limits up to rank D.
That meant that even though they were still at rank F, their physical strength could now match that of rank D Awakened.
It also greatly reinforced their bone density and structure, making their bodies more resilient, with even some room left for further growth.
Now, their endurance could also reach the level of rank D. Another effect was that their compatibility with the Law of Stars increased, meaning that if they decided to cultivate the Law of Stars, it would probably be easier for them to comprehend it.
Both of them got to enjoy these benefits, but there was an additional perk that applied more to Tiana.
Her compatibility and control over the fire element improved a lot. She could now control fire far more effectively, and her comprehension of it had become easier as well.
Although it was a good technique, it was only useful for rank F and rank E. For higher ranks, it was practically worthless—especially above rank B.
If these two girls wanted their Burning Star Body to still be useful at higher ranks, they would definitely need to evolve it further and push it to higher levels.
But Daniel told them not to worry. Once they reached rank D or C, he would pass them the original Indestructible Star Body technique.
They could then do the same thing he had done—merge the technique with their own main law to create a new body, just like he had created the Indestructible Death Body.
Speaking of that, he even thought that maybe he could somehow merge the Everlasting Physique with the Indestructible Death Body and create something entirely new.
But he didn't have enough confidence and was worried something might go wrong, so for now, he pushed the idea aside.
Now about the soul—Daniel had originally wanted to evolve Alice and Tiana's souls too, but after some thought, he gave up on that. First, he didn't have a technique for it, and even his own soul upgrade had been obtained purely by chance.
And more importantly, the soul was far too critical. He didn't dare risk meddling with his sisters' souls. It was better to leave that to fate.
After their bodies evolved, the two girls spent the past four days training nonstop. Daniel even used mana, mana essence, and the tiniest bit of Eternal energy to temper their bodies, making them stronger.
Thankfully, all that effort paid off. The two girls could now fight against peak rank E Awakened and, with some effort, even win.
Sooner or later, fighting rank D Awakened wouldn't be too difficult for them either.
Of course, this wasn't all Daniel had done in the past four days. Apart from occasionally going to the Celestial Domain to check on Fino, he also had meetups with his friend Fatty Joe.
They went out together, walked around, talked about recent events, and relaxed their minds. They had even wanted to invite that other close friend of his too, but Joe still wasn't ready to reconcile with him yet.
All in all, the past four days had been busy—spending time with family, going out and having fun, meeting up with his best friend again, and solving the growth bottleneck issue for his sisters.
And of course, he hadn't forgotten another important matter: reclaiming the number one spot in the simulation competition organized by the National Awakened Federation.
Not only that, he set such a record that it caused a wave of shock and awe across the entire country.
For now, however, his identity remained hidden at the request of the Everlight Moon guild. This time, nobody could figure out who had set such a terrifying record.
All they had was a single name: The Fallen—the very same name Daniel had chosen for his CTube channel. After reclaiming first place and setting that record, the video he uploaded under the name Fallen exploded.
The result? An even bigger wave of shock and awe spread throughout the country.
