Kyle thought as he entered one of the open rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he entered the room, he found himself in a big hall covered in Formation Arrays.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His perception stretched to the central Formation Array and commanded it to activate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, a humongous storm appeared in the room, and Kyle was slapped against the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle deactivated the Formation Array immediately and took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'A bit too much,' he thought as he changed the setting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he reactivated it again, a weaker storm appeared, but it was still enough to push him back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he activated another Formation Array, which locked him in space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The powerful wind kept hitting him, but the Formation Array kept him in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he didn't have to focus on staying stable anymore, Kyle could focus on perceiving the wind around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He very quickly gained several insights since he had moved at similar speeds before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, he changed the settings again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind became weaker, but it became denser.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way the Energy moved had changed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang-Wind was one thing. Yin-Wind was another thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were both called wind, but they were still very different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Minor Wind was a gradient between the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed of the wind increased as the density of the wind decreased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In order to comprehend Minor Wind, Kyle had to understand every part of the gradient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After just a couple of days, Kyle comprehended the first couple of Fragments of Minor Wind's Movement, but that was because they were just a tiny bit more complex than the Fragments of Yang-Wind's Movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding these Fragments wouldn't even improve Kyle's speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was important to understand them to understand the stronger Fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A couple of months into his session, Kyle was called to another Planet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standard. Nothing strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, as soon as he returned, Kyle went back to his wind tunnel and continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around ten years into his session, he got a message on his Communicator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The challenge has been issued. In around 400 years, we will accept the challenge, assuming it's still active by that point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It still wasn't certain if the enemy combatant had actually once been a Legendary Transcendent. \"Sounds good,\" Kyle managed to write back while being inside a brutal storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More time passed, and Kyle received another alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once more, the Planet was pretty standard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, they focused on killing beasts again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprisingly, Kyle saw a Crusher Beast on that Planet, but he decided against attacking it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fighting this thing would count as a True Battle, although a small one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, Kyle would be interested in fighting a bunch of them, but he had a difficult fight on the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team avoided the Crusher Beast until they left the Planet's atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good work,\" Swamp Dragon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"More Contribution Points for us!\" Manny said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, hey,\" Kyle said, \"I have to talk about something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's a big change in my schedule,\" he said. \"I'm focusing on unlocking my eleventh Cluster, and after that, I will get a new task.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think I have to leave the team.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two looked at Kyle in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Kyle saw Swamp Dragon, he felt a bit guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt a bit like he was abandoning Swamp Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that by your choice?\" Swamp Dragon asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, sorry,\" Kyle answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did you apologize?\" Swamp Dragon asked with raised brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I mean, I'm abandoning the team,\" Kyle said awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meteor Hammer, we are Seekers,\" Swamp Dragon said. \"Our goal is to become more powerful. Stopping you from leaving would mean I would stop you from walking your path.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't misunderstand me when I say this, but if I get an opportunity to become more powerful without breaking my moral code, I would also take it. Yes, we are a team, but we are also individuals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are not Seekers to work in a team. We are in a team because we want to become stronger Seekers, and this is currently the best way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, who's to say that we won't be a team again?\" Swamp Dragon asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle listened to Swamp Dragon and realized that he had overthought things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course Swamp Dragon would be happy for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, that last sentence…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, my new task also comes with a promotion, you know?\" Kyle asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're an Inner Disciple?\" Manny asked from the side with shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, but please, keep it a secret,\" Kyle said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swamp Dragon looked with interest at Kyle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he typed something into his Communicator, and a window popped up on Kyle's Communicator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Swamp Dragon's profile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, what?\" Kyle asked in surprise. \"You're also an Inner Disciple? \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swamp Dragon nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you do that?\" Kyle asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've killed many members of the Cult,\" Swamp Dragon answered. \"Compared to our alerts as Rarity Hunters, there are many more available missions to hunt Cult members.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've done quite a few.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle just kept looking at Swamp Dragon in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it that easy to become an Inner Disciple?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swamp Dragon could guess what Kyle was thinking about, and one of his brows rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meteor Hammer,\" he slowly said, \"when was the last time you saw me activate my Momentum?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh, a while ago?\" Kyle answered, uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the world around Kyle turned colorless, and he felt like he couldn't breathe anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swamp Dragon felt so unimaginably powerful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle felt like he would be helpless against him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this was just a false image created by a difference in Momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Swamp Dragon and Kyle knew that he would easily win against Swamp Dragon in a battle. It wouldn't even count as a True Battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Kyle felt Swamp Dragon's Momentum, he was sure of one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swamp Dragon's Momentum was already powerful enough to become a 12\u002F13 Primal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Swamp Dragon wasn't very talented with his body, he essentially already had all the prerequisites of becoming a 12\u002F13 Primal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The biggest hurdle for him would be the 500 years of pain, but someone like Swamp Dragon could probably also get through that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would just take longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, Swamp Dragon was working on his eighth Cluster. Within 300 years or so, he would also unlock his ninth and tenth Clusters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At most, he would need around 1,000 years to become a 12\u002F13 Primal, which would leave him with about 300 years or so to comprehend other things before becoming a Crusher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Momentum wasn't this strong during our mission on the first Planet,\" Kyle commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It wasn't,\" Swamp Dragon said. \"I started going on many more missions after I thought you were dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've been through my fair share of True Battles since then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle was still quite surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I underestimated him,' Kyle thought. 'He's also a member of the Array of Stars. By the look of things, he went through a lot more True Battles than me.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, Kyle smiled. \"Then, we might become a team again in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swamp Dragon nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, don't forget about me!\" Manny shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you also an Inner Disciple?\" Kyle asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, but when I become a Crusher, I will be,\" Manny said with a smirk. \"After all, I'm an Exchange Seeker, and that job comes with a promotion when I advance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Huh. I thought I shot past them, but it turns out, they are hot on my heels. In fact, Swamp Dragon even overtook me in one aspect.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But that's a good thing.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Seems like my worries were unfounded.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>tg:\u002F\u002Fresolv?domain=StrongestHammerGod\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The author's patreon.
