502 Effect Of Luminary Spring [2]

As the geniuses continued their cultivation in the Luminary Spring, time seemed to lose its meaning. Not long after, the first one to exit the Luminary Spring was none other than William’s gang members. They weren’t comparable to an average person in the same rank, much less a genius. It would have been a miracle if they could stay in Luminary Spring for 10 minutes like the average genius Elves who are given access to.

One by one, most of William’s gang had exited the Luminary Spring. Anyway, they lasted only around 5 minutes and the benefit they gained seemed to be very less compared to the geniuses.

Anyway, while they left the Luminary Spring, the geniuses focused on their own training and reaping every benefit that they could.

Soon enough 10 minutes passed and none of the geniuses went out. They pushed themselves to their limits, their determination unwavering.

Zero, having achieved Rank-A+, felt the immense power surging within him. His control over his mana had improved significantly, and he could sense that he was closer to reaching Rank-S than ever before. Hiro, now at Rank-A, was equally driven. He had a goal and for that, he must become stronger. With newfound strength and clarity in his mind, he honed his skills further, aiming to break into the next realm of power.

Zion, although slightly disheartened by Hiro’s rapid advancement, remained resolute. He knew that he needed to use this opportunity as much as he could to close the distance between Hiro and himself.

Meanwhile, the other geniuses also experienced breakthroughs in their ranks. Some reached Rank-A, while others surpassed it, each celebrating their newfound strength with joy and pride.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, some of the geniuses began to feel the effects of the pill wearing off. They slowly opened their eyes and stepped out of the pool.

Approximately 15 minutes had passed since they submerged into the Luminary Spring and they could feel their strength by leap and bound.

They couldn’t contain their excitement to find out how strong they had become. Their faces were lit with radiant smiles as they exchanged triumphant glances with one another. “Amazing! I think that I could easily be ranked among the Top 20 if I fought again!”

“If I had some more minutes, I would have definitely broken through to another rank. Anyway, I can’t wait to show off my strength.”

The group of geniuses who were the first ones to come out chatted as they left. They were pretty excited about the situation but didn’t know that they were the first to be out.

However, as they scanned the area around them, their elation began to wane. It became apparent that they were the first ones to exit the Luminary Spring, and the rest of the geniuses were still submerged in the pool, pushing their limits.

“What?”

“How can that be? I am the first one to leave?”

“Does that mean that there are still many geniuses who are still at Luminary Spring? Dammit, they will surely reap more benefits than me.” …

Confusion and disappointment crept into their expressions. They had expected that their rapid progress would place them ahead of the curve, but now they felt like they had somehow missed out on something important.

They knew that if they could become so powerful then those who would leave later than them would probably be even more powerful than them.

They thought they did quite well considering that the average minutes in LUminary Spring with one pill is 10 minutes and they managed to stay inside for 15 minutes.

But, alas although it was incredible, there were many geniuses far tougher than them.

Soon enough, most of the ones with one pill had to leave the Luminary Spring. They couldn’t help but feel jealous of the people who got more pills, especially after having experienced the increase in power that they had.

As time continued to pass in the Luminary Spring, the geniuses who had taken two pills were experiencing an even more profound transformation. Their bodies thrummed with newfound energy, and their senses were sharper than ever before.

Approximately 35 minutes had elapsed since they first submerged themselves in the mystical pool, and the first group of geniuses who had taken two pills began to emerge. These individuals had pushed themselves to the very limit, and as they stepped out of the Luminary Spring, their presence was almost overwhelming.

Many who were stuck at the peak of Rank-A + had also broken through to Rank-S -. They felt completely different than before.

Those who only got one pill were very jealous of them and felt their own progress lacking, especially when many who were in the same rank had broken through to Rank-S -.

As more geniuses who had taken two pills began to exit the Luminary Spring, the atmosphere grew tense with anticipation. These individuals were not only stronger but had also spent a longer time within the pool, absorbing more of its mysterious energies.

One by one, they emerged with confident smiles, and their power was palpable. Some had broken through to Rank-S, while others were closing in on it. The geniuses who had taken only one pill couldn’t help but feel a mix of admiration and envy.

With each passing minute, it became increasingly clear that those who had received more pills were at a distinct advantage. The geniuses who had first exited the Luminary Spring with a single pill now watched as their peers achieved feats they had only dreamed of.

Meanwhile, deep within the Luminary Spring, the remaining geniuses who have three or more pills continue to push their limits.

Misha, Zion, Lisa, and Sylvia were all on their last pill. And sometime after, Rank-S – and Rank-S also took their pills.

However, Zero was still training without the need for a third pill. As he thought, his body was able to resist the power of Luminary Spring to a certain extent and he only had to take his second pill in like 20 or so minutes.

That meant that he could probably stay under Luminary Spring for quite a long time. It was good for him as he was aiming to break through Rank-S -.

Even if he wasn’t able to, he wanted to get to the limit of Rank-A +. And then when he gets out, he could take on Rank-S breakthrough potion which will be able to help him to reach Rank-S -.

In any case, he was going to take advantage of his strong body to absorb as much mana as he could in this Luminary Spring.

As the minutes ticked away within the Luminary Spring, the anticipation outside grew. The geniuses who had taken three pills were about to emerge, and everyone knew that their achievements would be nothing short of extraordinary.

Around 50 minutes, even those who had taken three pills began exiting the Luminary Spring. The aura that they emitted was very powerful and every one of them had broken through to one sub-rank and some even two sub-ranks.

The last group of people who had taken three pills and came out were Lisa, Misha, Sylvia, and finally Zion.

Despite them being the lowest rank among the ones who had taken, they were the last ones to leave. And they weren’t competing with Rank-A only, it was also with Rank-S -.

The geniuses outside couldn’t help but be astonished at their achievement. Moreover, they were no longer who they used to be and had advanced beyond their wildest dream.

The four of them had broken through a major rank and even had one sub-rank advancement, making them Rank-A, the same as Zero before going into Luminary Spring.

The crowd was in awe as they witnessed the incredible progress of these four geniuses. They had not only broken through to Rank A but had done so in a way that showcased their exceptional talents and determination.

Zion, now a Rank-A, couldn’t hide his elation. He had finally achieved the level of strength he had dreamed of for so long. He looked at his companions, Misha, Lisa, and Sylvia, and they exchanged knowing glances. The other geniuses, who had taken only one or two pills, couldn’t help but feel a mixture of admiration and envy. However, four of them weren’t the last one and they knew that there were also geniuses who had more than 5 pills.

They couldn’t help to see their progress while also being extremely jealous of their opportunity.
