The Innkeeper

888 Second scan

Lex suppressed the gloating feeling in his heart as he observed the stunned projection. This was nothing to be proud over, as this was only the appropriate reaction one should have when learning about Lex's qualities. It was nothing special.

Although, Lex had to admit that this platform he was standing on was a lot more thorough and gave a more in-depth evaluation of him.

For a further detailed analysis, please attain Core Member status!"

Lex raised an eyebrow as he contemplated everything he heard. There were still things the analysis had not mentioned, such as the inscriptions in his body and, fortunately, the presence of the system hidden within his soul!

But even so, there were many things the scan had revealed about himself that he did not understand. Lately, he had been asking Pelvailin all the questions he had, but this also seemed like a good opportunity to get some answers.

He looked at the frozen projection with schadenfreude and asked, "the previous scan also mentioned many things, but I am not familiar with them all. Do you know what it means? Can you explain it to me?"

Freed from his surprise, the projection gathered himself and looked at Lex in a new light. At least his sense of derision was gone.

"Yes, even if you did not ask, I was going to go over everything systematically so you fully understand everything. You attaining sufficient skill and ability are paramount to killing that deity, so we have to start by capitalizing on your existing skills and abilities before moving onto new ones. Or at least, that was my original plan. That will have to be amended for now.

"Let's start with your bone age. I doubt you need an explanation for that. There is a difference between bone age and soul age, so why are we measuring your bone age? This is because, in humans, the younger the body, the greater its learning capability. If there was no urgency due to the situation, I would say that you have entered the temple in the best state possible! I would have designed a 100 year training program for you that would have made you more powerful than you can even imagine!

"But we have no time for that. All you need to keep in mind is that everything will be easier for you to understand right now than it will be later on. That is not to say you cannot learn new things at a greater age! Not at all. In fact, the benefits of a greater age are also phenomenal, but just that for your purpose now, your age is perfect!

"Next up is your cultivation. The ideal would have been if you entered as a mortal, but once again that would also only be in the situation where we didn't need to kill a deity. As it is, Golden core will have to suffice. We do not have time to raise your cultivation.

"Then… then comes your cultivation talent."

At this point the projection stopped speaking, and looked at Lex as if he were some kind of monster.

"Your measured cultivation talent has surpassed the genetic and biological limit of your race. It's not as if such a thing has never happened before. It's just that… it's exceedingly rare, and each time was a result of very extraordinary circumstances. With your cultivation talent, I would recommend you do not leave the Temple untilbecome an immortal, at the very least. It would be a shame if you died due to your own weakness in this brutal universe."

The projection paused once again, its thoughts unknown. Eventually, it continued speaking as if it no longer wished to dwell on the topic - it seemed to have brought back bad memories.

"The next is your physique. This is very unusual, as you seem to have 2 different physiques, or possibly even more! But the scanner is having an issue because it's impossible to have more than one physique, as you only have one body! What the scanner is detecting are the associated abilities of each physique.

"Both of them are exceptionally rare, so to see them together is mind-boggling! The first is the Empyrean Resonance. I must say that this is one of the most sought after physiques in the universe in every single race! Unfortunately, its result is not always good for the one who has it. This physique can, under the influence of many factors, cause an evolution through resonance in its race members! That is to say, this physique brings you little to no benefit, but is of great use to the human race!

"If it is ever detected by someone significant enough, it is not an exaggeration to say that you may be captured, and then used to forcefully bring about an evolution in others. The good thing is that you yourself can also benefit from these evolutions, so if you learn how to control it, you can cause yourself to evolve in a direction of your choosing! In essence, you can use your physique to multiply the effects and changes brought about by your cultivation technique!"

The projections' words were like a clap of thunder in his ears and stunned Lex.

What the hell? As if he didn't have enough problems trying to hide the system, now he had to hide the ability of his body as well?

"Then comes the ability of your second physique…"
