System vs Rebirth

Chapter 565 Shock

"Kh." Noel gritted his teeth. Even though the two elements in his body had been neutralizing each other, it still led to great discomfort. The two elements didn't neutralize each other in an instant, so the energy around the mark caused extreme pain.

Even Noel had a hard time tolerating the pain. He gritted his teeth, trying to endure the pain for as long as he got.

It had been more than twelve hours since he started. Normal people would have stopped after a few hours, but he managed to endure two or three times their capacity. And it seemed that Noel hadn't given up yet.

He continued absorbing the energy from the crystal, building up the energy in his heart.

Fifteen hours…

Twenty hours…

Dimitri and Rose became extremely anxious. They both looked at each other, wondering what they should do. On the one hand, they were worried that something might have gone wrong. On the other hand, if they disturbed him when he absorbed the energy, they might cause a shock that would disturb the flow of energy, causing Noel to suffer some problems.

"Do you know anything about this?" Rose asked. Dimitri had been observing Noel from the start, so he might know that Noel could cultivate this long.

However, Dimitri shook his head this time. "I don't know. Although I have been following the young master from the start, I have been doing my best to respect his privacy."

"…" Rose didn't know what to say. It was admirable for him to do that, but that action made them anxious here.

They thought for a moment. But because they could only wait, they decided to stay. They would only enter if there was a disruption in the flow of Spiritual Energy, which meant Noel had failed to absorb a demon crystal.

The time continued to pass.

When it reached a whole day, they were completely speechless. They never expected Noel to be this strong.

'An average person can absorb the energy for four to six hours before they have to refine the energy and recover to their peak condition.' Dimitri gulped down. When he looked at this, Noel's talent might be beyond his imagination.

Noel never acknowledged his talent, but he didn't realize that for others, Noel was a peerless genius.

'Even a genius can only withstand not farther than that. If I'm not wrong, the record is eighteen hours.' Rose frowned. 'That record was made by a person who had twin elements… It seems that the secret is the two elements. Noel has two elements that can neutralize each other.

'On the one hand, it can cause a huge backlash if those two elements are in conflict. On the other hand, judging from the current situation, it seems that the elements are under control and they form a harmony that can help Noel go through all this.'

Noel's voice started to come out when it reached the thirty hour mark. The pain started to become unbearable, causing him to start wailing in pain.

Still, if Noel stopped here, he needed some time to refine the energy. So, Noel must want to last for as long as possible so that he can refine all of them at once.

That was why despite wailing in pain, Rose and Dimitri could still feel the Spiritual Energy circulating inside. They had to endure the urge to enter the tent.

31 hours…

32 hours…

The clock kept ticking. The longer the time passed, the bigger Noel's scream.

They had found a secluded place, so it wasn't that hard to block the noise.

Dimitri frowned for a moment before asking Rose, "Can you hunt some monsters and gather some herbs?"

Rose was confused for a second, but she immediately remembered that Noel hadn't eaten anything in the past 32 hours. Although his energy and muscle were fed by Spiritual Energy, Noel still needed nutrition from food.

So, Rose nodded her head and immediately left. Dimitri was more expert than her in this area, so she should be the one leaving.

33 hours…

34 hours…

It was truly surprising that Noel could endure this kind of pain. Even Dimitri was gnashing his teeth the whole time, trying to see how far Noel could go.

35 hours…

Noel's speed in absorbing the Spiritual Energy started to decrease because he had trouble enduring the pain. Still, he managed to continue for a while.

Unfortunately, he had to stop at 36 hours. This was a new record.

Even Dimitri couldn't help but mutter inwardly, 'God blesses the Ardagan Family, God blesses Noel Ardagan. To think the young master can endure twice as long as the famous Twin Elemental Sage… His talent is not from this world.'

Dimitri couldn't help but picture the Ardagan Family that Noel would rebuild in the future. With this kind of leader in the future, no one would be able to suppress the Ardagan Family anymore. Even the books that Noel spread all around the world were going to create a massive shock wave.

It seemed that this kingdom alone wouldn't be enough to contain him.

'As long as the young master can grow up to become a Spirit Grandmaster or even a Spirit Transcendence safely, the Ardagan Family will surely become the number one family in the world.'

Dimitri couldn't help but clench his fists. He knew that the only way for Noel to grow safely was for him to protect Noel.

Noel had this talent and extraordinary mind that could destroy two powerful nobles without even being directly involved in the plan.

And he had to protect this person.

'Young Master is truly an unparalleled genius. There is only one test remaining. If he can pass that test, it'll be the time for me to swear my allegiance to him.

'But it doesn't change one fact. Young Master, this humble servant swears that even if I have to trade my life, I'll protect you.'

Dimitri closed his eyes for a second. Happiness, determination, and loyalty were mixed in his heart. He knew that this person would be able to reach a height that no one had ever seen before. Dimitri believed Noel could surpass his ancestor and was looking forward to the time he reached that stage.
