I Can Program My Body?

Walking back home, instead of resting, Nash dove into the virtual pod.

Entering the dark plane, he headed straight to the Iron Fall Shelter.

His soul saturation rate had already reached 827%.

In about six days, he would hit 1000% soul saturation.

To avoid being rushed and unfamiliar with the sudden surge of strength before the Cosmic Competition, Nash planned to push his void saturation rate to 1000% today.

He might even advance to the Void Commander Rank the day before the Cosmic Competition.

The Cosmic Competition didn't limit one's realm, only their age.

To be eligible for the sector-level competition, one had to be at or below 30 years old, or one revolution cycle according to the universal timekeeping of the Chronos Empire.

For the domain-level and galactic-level competitions, one had to be at or below three revolution cycles, or 90 years old, to join.

Fortunately, regardless of the sector-level Cosmic Competition's outcome, one could register for the domain-level one.

Although they wouldn't have their sector's support and would face rigorous qualification matches, it gave hope to those who missed the age limit for the sector-level competition.

Because of this, Michael trained vigorously, still holding hope in his heart.

Even if he could only qualify for the domain-level Cosmic Competition, it would be enough to benefit his entire training career.

Lost in thought, Nash soon arrived at the Star Tower.

"Welcome, Young Master Noir. What can I do for you?"

"Bring me 50 tier 1 high-quality weapons, 50 sets of tier 1 high-quality armor, and 50 sets of tier 1 auxiliary equipment and potions."

"This—right away, Young Master. Please wait a moment!"

Hearing Nash's large order, they were a bit shocked.

In their minds, they immediately thought Nash was about to form his own force.

Indeed, by buying this equipment, Nash hoped to strengthen the students' abilities and boost their chances of securing a place in the Cosmic Competition.

With such glory and opportunity, they might become a force he could use in the future.

After hearing about the Hallow Core Chamber of the Nova sector, Nash hoped to emulate it.

With Earth's population as a foundation, if he invested a little and sent them to the Dark Plane, they could become his soldiers, gathering merits for him.

With a population of over 7 billion, even if only 10 percent become a Void Warrior, that's 700 million.

If each handed him just 1 merit per day as payment for his investment, he could earn 700 million merits daily!

Furthermore, as they grew stronger, his hundreds of millions in income could reach billions or even trillions!

Imagining such a scene, Nash's heart couldn't help but race with anticipation.

The first step was to train capable people. With ready-made talents, Nash didn't mind investing billions of merits.

---

Soon, the items he ordered arrived.

Paying over a hundred million merits, Nash felt a slight heartache.

[Nash Navre:

Rank: Void Warrior (630%+)

Soul: 827% saturation

Merits: 1,462,378,020]

Seeing his account drop from 1.5 billion to 1.4 billion, Nash felt another pang of heartache.

His ambition really cost a lot of money.

Leaving the Star Tower, he headed straight to the training hall.

---

Inside the training hall, Nash began to regulate his breathing rhythm, preparing for his advancement to 1000% void saturation.

[Nash Navre:

Rank: Void Warrior (630%+)

Soul: 827% saturation

Merits: 1,462,376,340]

"Let's see how many merits I'll need."

Opening his eyes, Nash rapidly consumed merits, turning them into void energy.

640%… 650%… 680%… 700%… 750%… 800%… 900%… 970%… 990%… 998%… 999%… 1000%!

Breaking into 1000% void saturation, he felt his body creaking, as if it might collapse.

With only eight times the average physique, the weight of 1000% void saturation was too much for him to bear.

Having anticipated this, Nash, who quickly came to the Runic Space, didn't even flinch in pain.

Using the [Control], [Overloading], [Recovery], and [Body Training] module systems, he began to counteract the burden, slowly increasing his strength while adapting to the weight.

With the [Overloading Module System] bearing the weight, the [Recovery Module System] healing his body from pain and damage, the [Control Module System] maintaining balance to prevent collapse, and the [Training Module System] cycling the void energy to avoid leaks, Nash's strength slowly adapted, growing stronger.

Though the process was slow and painful, staying in the runic space, Nash felt nothing and even began debugging various module systems in his spare time.

---

After three days of torture and suffering he hadn't felt, Nash returned to his body, seeing it had withstood the influx of void energy without any signs of collapse.

"Huh! This feeling… It's so powerful!"

Reaching 1000% void saturation, he felt he could defeat his previous self with a single punch.

According to the God Body Astral Art he had deduced, a 1000% saturation rate could amplify his overall power by 750 times.

Opening a section in the runic panel, he updated based on the testing standards in the virtual world, he looked at his overall void amplification.

[Void Amplification:

Strength: 750x

Speed: 750x

Defense: 750x

Endurance: 750x

Flexibility: 750x

Reaction Time: 830x]

Looking at his reaction time, which differed from the rest, Nash wasn't too shocked.

By merging the Crimson Eye Astral Art and other sensing-type astral arts into the God Body Astral Art, it was no wonder his reaction time reached 830 times.

This unbalanced result wasn't because he favored his senses over the others, but simply due to a lack of time and resources.

According to some manuals he had read, a saturation of void energy could theoretically amplify an individual's power up to 1000 times!

This meant the God Body Astral Art he deduced was still imperfect.

To reach the absolute limit, he would need a vast amount of references and time to further refine it, which he didn't have.

Fortunately, after the Cosmic Competition, even if he didn't have enough spirit points to become a Bearer in the Spirit Pavilion, he could still become a seeded talent and gain access to the Nova Library.

It should have enough books and references for him to deduce a perfect God Body Astral Art!
