I Can Program My Body? - Chapter 345

Chapter 345: Secret Realm Opens
Two weeks later, at their new base, Nash silently condensed another elemental core.

With this, the elemental core he had condensed came to four: wind, fire, earth, and water.

“Unfortunately, it wasn’t merged with my void core…” Nash sighed.

With his B-grade affinity, each elemental course should increase his strength by 80 times.

Thus, after mastering and condensing four elemental cores, his strength could potentially reach 320 times!

However, due to his unique method, which accelerated the formation of the elemental cores and maximized the ability of his soul materialization, unless he mastered and condensed all 1,618 elements, they could only remain independent of each other.

For now, the amplification from each elemental core was too minimal to make a significant difference to his strength.

Fortunately, his powerful soul and celestial beast could compensate for the deficiency.

Consolidating his newly advanced elemental core, Nash quickly began the next one: the Wood Elemental Core.

During this time, he continued to deduce the following chapters of the Infinite Elemental Manual.

Knowing he was condensing the elemental core faster and faster, Nash accelerated his work on the manual.

Given enough resources, with the optimization of the [Training Module System], he could condense an elemental core in about 20–30 days,

This was with just the elemental crystal. If he had different varieties of attributed materials as well, he might be able to condense an elemental core in ten days or less.

Calming his wandering mind, Nash quickly condensed a partial water elemental core, enabling the [Training Module System] to automate the process.

“It’s time to go out…”

Having completed what he needed, Nash exited his residence.

“You’re finally out! I thought you changed your mind,” Camilla teased.

Just as they expected before, the secret realm was about to open.

According to the scouts they had set in place, the barrier was weakening, and it could open at any moment.

“I just have something to do.”

“No worries, we had other things as well.” Hobis didn’t care.

“Anyway, let’s go! It might be too late if we keep dawdling,” Natasha said, leading the way.

Weeks ago, when they arrived at the new resource point, they had already begun preparing everything at the base.

Even without them, the Nova Team could function for a month or two without any problems.

If an issue arose, they could even escape while waiting for their return.

Not having to worry about anything, Nash, Camilla, Natasha, Skylar, and Hobis set off.

A few hours later, moving carefully along the way, they soon arrived before the secret realm.

“This place…”

With just a sweep of their eyes, they saw thousands of Void Marshals standing in place.

From their initial confidence, they quickly lowered their presence, fearing that they would attract any attention.

These weren’t just ordinary Void Marshals like from the Nova Army; they were the elite of the elite, standing atop all the others.

Being in the presence of such power, even Nash had to become cautious.

However, while cautious on the surface, he still secretly scanned all the other competitors he might face.

“Hmm? Only two of the great teams are here?”

He thought all five of them would be present for such a grand event. However, besides the Aqua Sector and the Erebus Sector, none of the others were present.

Moreover, they didn’t seem to have sent their strongest members; instead, they sent just a few representatives.

“Is there another secret realm about to open? Or are they just too far away?” Nash wondered.

The scan he did in the soul enlightenment state covered only a million-kilometer radius, which didn’t encompass most of the teams.

Now that a few months had passed, as their shelter leveled up, their range had naturally increased.

Looking at the other teams in the top hundred, he confirmed his suspicions.

Only about 30% were present at this event, meaning a greater attraction must have drawn them elsewhere.

“This is better…” Nash smiled, not caring if he missed something even greater.

With less competition, there would be fewer variables, making it easier for him to secure the secret realm.

Meanwhile, after Nash’s reckless scanning, the representatives from the Aqua Sector and Erebus Sector couldn’t help but frown.

“Did someone just spy on us?” Zerdon, the representative of the Erebus Sector, muttered.

Although they couldn’t pinpoint the direction, the feeling was too obvious.

“This secret realm won’t be easy. Be ready to act at any moment. We can’t afford to be careless,” Kaius, the representative of the Aqua Sector, replied.

Contrary to what most thought, the five greatest teams weren’t always in competition. Sometimes, like at this moment, alliances like the Aqua and Erebus sectors would form.

Wanting to establish dominance over the Solaris Capital team, they had no choice but to pool their strength together.

“Hmm, we need to keep an eye on other potential candidates. We should gather better teams this time. I heard there is a change in the Galactic Level Cosmic Competition…” Zerdon muttered, scanning the area.

“I know. The young miss has already told us who to look out for,” Kaius said.

From the top thousand teams to those showing anomalies, everyone was under watch.

Especially the Nova Sector, which had recently caused a buzz.

As a new team that hadn’t participated in the Ashura Path, most didn’t expect they could blaze a trail toward the ten thousand ranking and were even bout to break into the top thousand.

Thinking they might possess talent worth recruiting, Kaius scanned each individual batch like a hawk, hoping to find any sign of their presence.

Unfortunately, aside from those who were confident in their strength, most had taken out the badges representing their teams and hidden them.

Unable to find any clues, Kaius shifted his attention elsewhere, to the team that caused a dazzling light phenomenon a few months ago.

Deducing it might be the evolution of a mysterious beast, he scanned each shelter, looking for any clues.

Unfortunately, seeing nothing out of the ordinary, Kaius could only shake his head.

“Sigh, I knew this wouldn’t be easy…”
