I didn’t think it’d be this soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instructor’s words echoed through the now-deserted hall, where only he and White remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, what’s it going to be? Points? Access cards?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White said, rising from his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s a challenge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, and the instructor paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A challenge? As in... you want to cancel your challenge with someone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked, but White shook his head, answering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to challenge someone, a second year on the Top 10 Cyber Rankings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instructor’s words froze in his mouth, and he paused, eyebrows quivering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you come again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to fight a second year that is in the Top 10 on the Cyber Ranking. Not any ordinary second year, but one in the Top 10 Cyber Ranking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He repeated, but then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"HAHAHAHA!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loud laughter exploded through the entire hall, and White stood awkwardly, watching the man laugh his lungs out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... hahaha. You want to take on a 2nd year!? And not just any 2nd year, a Top 10 on their own ranking!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you have any idea how brutal the 2nd year Cyberpoint Ranking is!? How monstrous a power you will need to have to be even near the top of it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you think you’re ready to take on that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened to Gustav and the rest? Too little a challenge for your almighty Limitless Power?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said with a shrug, swiping through the opened holographs he had in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, yes. They’re not a challenge at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whie replied after a pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, I saw that fight you had with Inumaki.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We instructors see broadcasts of all your fights, you know? And even though you acted tough and refused medical attention, anyone with eyes can tell you took quite a beating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, and it was White’s turn to pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could see it; the instructor wasn’t going to take this seriously, and in the end, he could only grow more aggressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do have to agree with your points. Inumaki was indeed a challenge yesterday and did me some pretty bad damage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But since you watched the fight, what stage was I yesterday fighting Inumaki?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First Star Realm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man replied, still tapping on the interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And what level am I now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White followed\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Obviously first Star Realm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He replied, but then he paused, as the question occurred to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would White be asking what stage he was now, when he obviously knew it himself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes behind the spectacles focused on White, most especially at his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds of silence, and then he took his glasses off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rubbing his eyes, he blinked twice before turning to stare at White’s chest once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the? Late Star Realm!? You’ve reached Late Star!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So... you still think Gustav and the rest are going to be a challenge to me now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White asked, and the instructor’s brow furrowed before shrugging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still doesn’t mean you’re ready to take on a second year,\" he said, continuing with the interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See, Instructor Iritis, I’m not fighting for the sake of being better than everyone and needing a bigger challenge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, really? What are you fighting for then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s just say it may have something to do with my Limitless Essence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm-hmm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See, it adapts to power. It’s like the stronger the opponent’s power, the stronger it grows too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I fought Inumaki, who suddenly exhibited an unbelievable amount of strength for someone who is an unawakened. Special thanks to his weird Otherworld summon, Irasul.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I feel like my Limitless Essence adapted to that, and now I’m in the Late Stage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just want to confirm if my hypothesis is true, and for that reason, I need to fight someone who is obviously much, much stronger, to see if my Limitless Energy does in fact adapt, or if it’s just a one-time luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... I want to get to know more about my essence energy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know how difficult controlling Limitless is as an energy, don’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, and the man paused with a hum, before asking—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you, by the way?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you from the True Limitless Family or an outcast?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked, and White’s eyes shrank before replying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An outcast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, I guess that makes sense then. You’ll have to figure everything out about Limitless on your own. So, you do have a point in wanting to experiment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, finally closing up all the interface and walking to White.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached him, his hand finding its way to White’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man was tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Really tall, as even though White was 1.9 meters, he was easily twice a head taller.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since I did say I owe you one, and it’s obvious you’re not doing this for ego’s sake, I’ll do this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, and White smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Instructor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your opponent is the Top 6 on the 2nd Year Cyber Ranking, and he controls Limitless too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He added, and White’s smile dropped as the man continued to the exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instructor Iritis continued, reaching the exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He might not like you, since, unlike you, he’s a true family member of the Limitless Clan. I’ll advise you to bring your A-game to the fight. I’ll send you a message once he’s ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right after, the man faded into motes of light, air rustling and shutting the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All that remained was White, who stood there dumbly before a fact occurred to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shit! I forgot to tell him I’ve only got 70 hours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White mused, but then he shrugged it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had said that, he must be fighting just two days from now. It would have seemed suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I guess I can only wait for his message then,\" he thought before also rising, moving to the exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had only walked 10 minutes away from the subject area when\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>DRIIING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>DRIIIING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His runic watch rang, and White turned to it, his eyes glowing from the message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[He’s up for It.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Tomorrow, 8:00 at the 2nd Year Challenge Area.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White’s smile widened into a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nice... Very nice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1040,"2026-05-30T06:39:49.210Z","2026-06-01T04:30:33.480Z",1,"novelbin.me","d1530b8ad9902789c9ad846a5dfa089813952fda70dec5e542f5f9569cceb436","sss-awakening-starting-with-infinite-soul-copy-chapter-55","sss-awakening-starting-with-infinite-soul-copy-chapter-53",225,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsss-awakening-starting-with-infinite-soul-copy-cover.jpg"]
