The Strongest Businessman

Chapter 119 119: X-Grade Magna Magnate

"This is inconcievable!" One of the elders could not help but say.

"The estimated growth of his Magnate Strength is beyond the realm of Mystical Lords?!" Another one of the elders felt that his knees were growing weak.

"Is he an SS-Grade Magna Magna Magnate?!" The last of the three was trembling. He could not control his body from shaking due to the shock they recieved just now.

"No... he's even more rarer than that.... His talent has reached the legendary X-Grade!" Sheldon was clearly more valuable than these three so he knew the mythical existence of such a talent. But, even he could not believe it! He has only read an ancient record saying something about a talent far rarer than an SS-Grade!

"What is the X-Grade?" The three could not fathom what type of monster could even be greater than an SS-Grade that posses the Heavenly Eyes!

"I don't know. The ancient record only mentioned about its existence and could not further explain its characteristics since it was a realm that was purely based on theory." Sheldon was rather anxious because he truly wanted to know what type of existence an X-Grade Magna Magnate was.

"What should I do now?" Dylan asked. The five were still gobsmacked due to the number of small prbs he was able to lit up.

"Try your Soul Depth next." Azelmek anxiously urged.

Seeing his expression, Dylan followed his commands and placed his right hand on the black large orb which he then injected with his Magnate Strength. The same phenomenon happened again and the large orb was filled with white light!

This time there were only 21 orbs that lit up but they were all still impressed. His talent would assure him to arrive at the Mystical Lord Realm smoothly if he did not die prematurely.

The three elders felt that their hearts were on the verge of collapse. They were all Mystical Dukes but this miraculous event caused massive upheavals within that it was almost impossible to contain.

"How can we still live after witnessing this?"

His Magnate Strength Potential was level 25 and his Soul Depth at level 21?! Then wouldn't that mean that his Mental Stength is even greater than level 25?! This three elders felt both extreme shock and disappointment at the same time which was absolutely unhealthy for their ages! Witnessing this was the same as destroying their confidence within themselves.

"This is absolutely great! Hahahahahaha!" Azelmek could not hold his happiness any longer. He laughed so loud that it could be heard by the entire hall!

...

On the ground floor of the Premier Hall...

"Who is laughing?" A receptionist suddenly heard a strange laughter.

"Wait, isn't this voice similar to the Hallmaster's?" A maid who had a fairly good memory suggested.

"What are you saying? The Hallmaster is always serious and he even rarely smiles. In the 5 years I have worked for the Premier Hall, I only saw him smile when he greets high class VIPs personally. How could a person like that laugh this hard?" A middle aged butler spoke from experience.

"But, I saw him laugh when he went to the Noble Test Center and announced the Hall's partnership with this year's topnotcher, Dylan Ford." Another maid said.

"If he laughed, it must be due to the formalities that were needed to accept the felicitations of the top-level figures. The laugh we just heard is a laugh from extreme bliss. It can't be him." A young butler disagreed and stated his argument.

"But, it's coming from the top floor." The maid defended.

"What are you all fussing about? Get back to your works!" A manager passed by and saw a group of employees gossiping. Thus, he decided to reprimand them all.

"Yes, sir!" The employees replied readily.

How could these employees even know that the source of the blissful laugh of the Hallmaster was the birth of an unprecedented genius that will shake the entire world!

...

At the Executive Office in the top floor...

"Dylan, you are truly a hidden gem! No wonder you can come out as the topnotcher of this batch! The other brats simply did not have the chance to get the number 1 spot since you were there!" Azelmek's smile was difficult to hide. It even seemed that the Hallmaster aged a few years younger.

"What do you mean by this, Master?" Dylan could not helped but be puzzled.

The other three also could not understand what Azelmek was currently implying. It was as if as long as Dylan was there, no one else would be able to take the first spot!

"It's alright if you don't understand. Let Master explain. I presume that you understand what the source of Mental Strength and Soul Depth are right?" Azelmek said with a gentle smile.

"I do, Master." Dylan answered truthfully. Of course, he knew this since he studied the basic concepts of Mystical Magnatism.

"Great. So I won't have to explain it with detail and just do a quick recap. The Mental Strength is power that is gained from the mind thus it can also be called associated with Willpower while the Soul Depth is energy that is gained from the soul and the nature of the person. If you simulataneously utilize this two power, you create an overbearing type of energy that is suppressive by nature called the Magnate Strength. The two energy must reach a certain height and achieve an equilibrium in order to be formed. It is also due to this requirement that not all people are able to become Mystical Magnates." Azelmek explained.

Dylan nodded. He knew that if a person has high Mental Strength but low Soul Depth or vice versa, one could never achieve and cultivate Magnate Strength.

"Each of these two can be improved through the catalyst of mental conditioning techniques and life experiences. So, do you know what would happen if a person with high levels of Mental Strength and Soul Depth undergo a traumatic experience such as near death experiences, torture, betrayal or loss of family?" Azelmek asked Dylan a question.

"Such experiences would birth extreme emotions and sensations such as anger, depression, hate, regret, bliss, love and pain would trigger fluctuations within their mind and soul and incite evolution."

Dylan was starting to catch on to what Azelmek was referring to. He suddenly remembered all the past events that has happened to him. His brother's betrayal, his unfulfilled promise with Rose, his death, his reincarnation, his other self's tragic past, the destruction of Gardenford, the death of Leila and Frank, the torture he underwent from Baron, and his separation with Scarlet. All of these events made his already high level of Mental Strength and Soul Depth to mutate and evolve even further!!

"Exactly, it is due to this that special talents called Magna Magnates. You should know by now that there are different grades of Magna Magnates. The A and C grades are caused by the mutation of the Mental Strength that enhances the intensity of the Magnate Strength. On the other hand, S and SS grades are from both. From there, each grade will have an additional blessing! The S grades paves way for the future while the SS grade gives birth to Heavenly Eyes. Do you know what blessing an X Grade recieves? Its a skill that anyone would want to have! With their absurd levels of Mental Strength and Soul Depth, they were blessed with Instant Learning Abilities!" Azelmek excitedly said.

"Instant..."

"Learning..."

"Abilities?!"

The three elders had their mouths wide open from awe and shock. He would have never expected that there was such a miraculous ability. They could not take this type of shocking revelations with their old age so they all fainted from the shock.

Even Dylan felt that he might have heard of it wrongly! Thankfully, he and Sheldon had better mental fortitude compared to the three elders.

"From what I know, there are three levels of such. First is Photographic Memory which enables a person to instantly store into their minds any text regardless of the amount in just one glance! Second, Mimic, capable of copying the movements, voice, and even the aura of any living organism in an instant. Third, Perfect Copy, the highest stage that enables a person to copy the strength, speed, defense and even comprehension of any skill and ability from any living organism with a glance! In this level, the person basically turns into the existence which he copied!" Azelmek was fuming with excitement as his pace of speaking hastened!

"How are you able to know this things, Master?" Dylan really wanted to know how Azelmek got a hold of this information.

"This was something I learned from my son, Azel Premier or popularly known as the Noble Blade, who is currently one of the elite talents of the Magnate Tower. He gave me an ancient scroll from an Imperial Kingdom that he accidentally axquired from a mission to slay a Malevolent Magnate. He temporarily gave it to me since he did not have the strength he now had back then." Azelmek imparted this piece of confidential information to Dylan. This just goes to show how much he values Dylan.

"Does that mean that Dylan can achieve that also?!" Sheldon could not believe what he just. The final level enables Dylan to copy any organism from its essence! This was absolutely heaven defying!

"Yes!" Azelmek enthusaistically answered. However, it soon turned into sadnes as he continued his words, " However, these are all in theory. Acquiring such heaven defying power would be too unfair. That's why cultivating it is even harder than climbing the heavens. The second level could still be achieved since it could be done if the X-grade Magna Magnate persists training his sole for 1000-2000 years. However, the last level was something that not only needed tens of thousands of years of training but also epiphany."

"That long?!" Sheldon was utterly flabbergasted when he heard such an insane length of time to put for the advancement of a blessing.

"..." Dylan was rather silent. He was a bit disappointented when he learned that it was absolutely difficult to train the Perfect Copy ability. If he had that power, then he would no longer have to worry about lack of strength because if he could copy the strongest person in this world, then his power would also be at that level.

But, he did not let it get to him. It's not like power can be gained that easily. Hardships and backbreaking efforts were a must in order to become a truly strong and formidable warrior!

"According to the Imperial Kingdom, among the 16 X-grade Magna Magnates that they were able to record throughout the million years of lineage, they were able to record down 11 that were able to break through to the 2nd level and only 1 for the 3rd level. So you should not get discouraged Dylan, its already more than amazing that you possess photographic memory and the Heavenly Eyes! Getting to the 2nd level or 3rd level, would just be an additional bonus." Azelmek did not want his disciple to feel disheartened so he immediately comforted him.

"Thank you, master." Dylan felt very warm when he heard Azelmek comforting him.

"Let me teach you some techniques to properly cultivate your magnate Strength and become a formal Mystical Magnate. However, I will not be lenient as I am now and will be as strict as possible expecially with the level of your talent, I will expect great things from you so my standards will be higher as well!" Azelmek seemingly reverted back to his usual cold and serious face.

"Yes, master!" Dylan replied with a bright smile on his face. He was filled with anticipation for the strength that he would gain from the teachings of his new found teacher!
