Chapter 614 General Raiden\'s miracle
"Someone from the Lightning Battalion has already reached Level 37?!" Robin couldn\'t help but stand up slowly, just a little more than 14 years had passed since he unified Planet Jura and spread the Lightning Cultivation Technique among its inhabitants.
14 years... During just 14 years there was a young man who had managed to break through the Knighthood Realm, the Sainthood Realm, and 7 levels of the Sagehood Realm?! The least that can be said about him is that...
"He is an absolute genius, Your Excellency. Everyone calls him the Lightning Boy because of his cultivation speed and great strength compared to his colleagues at the same level, even if his strength doesn\'t match up to the rest of the generals under your banner right now, it is only a matter of time before he surpasses a few of them, he undoubtedly deserved his rank as General." Old Gu praised
"Amazing... I would love to meet him one day." Robin raised his eyebrows slightly. This news was surprising but it was also good news. This was the first general to be promoted to the elite few after the Great Green Hill Declaration!
Robin then looked at Annabelle again, "Please continue, how did General Raiden give you an explanation?"
Saint Annabelle nodded and began to explain, "As Your Excellency knows, when a person reaches the seventh level of the Energy Foundations Realm, he chooses a Heavenly Law technique for himself and begins to train in it to prepare to build his pillars with it later one... Some geniuses are able to use part of that law before building their pillars, some of them fail to use it, but later they are able with some difficulty to break through to Knighthood, and others do not understand anything from the law they choose and are unable to break through, so they give up and end up at the tenth level forever."
Robin nodded, this was an axiom in the world of energy cultivation
Then she continued, "General Raiden is young, not yet 35 years old, yet he is very strong and his cultivation talent is record-breaking. It can be said that he is one of the symbols of the Empire and a living legend in Your Excellency\'s army! But he was not always like this... General Raiden was the descendant of a servant family on the Sacred Tree Continent. After Your Excellency unified Planet Jura, the people of all of that continent were interested in cultivating the laws of Plant and Earth Paths, but he failed in both. When we asked him personally, he said that when he reached the seventh level of the Energy Foundation Realm, he began to read about the paths of plants and earth, but he could not understand anything, and when he became frustrated that he might not have the talent, he made a trick in the academy so that he could try studying other laws for free, such as the path of water and wind. Fortunately for him, he was better off in them, as he was able to use 50% of the power of the first layer in the two laws without problems, he tried the fire path and was able to use 70% of it, and when he tried to train in one of the secondary laws of the lightning path, his ability to use the law reached 95%!"
"He managed to use 95% of one of the Lightning Path Laws before building the pillars?" Robin\'s facial expression changed several times during this short explanation...
Using part of the power of the first stages of the Laws before building the Knighthood Pillars is not impossible, or even rare at that. In the end, the purpose of building the Knighthood Pillars with the Law is to modify the body a little to increase the body\'s familiarity with that Law and make it easier to use, and the other reason is that the body\'s resistance and make it able to withstand this particular Law and not burn or freeze when using it.
But this does not mean that the human body cannot handle using part of those laws. Rather, some people find that using the heavenly laws before entering Knighthood is the sign of a genius, and the greater the percentage of the laws that one can use without getting harmed, the greater your hope and speed in breaking through to higher realms.
For example, Caesar was able to use 70% of the power of the first stage of the Major Heavenly Law of Fire when he was still at the eighth level, and this percentage increased until it finally reached 90% just before he broke through to the Knighthood Realm.
Robin was also able to use many of the laws while he was in the cave when he was still at level ten. In this case, he was able to use all the laws that he created techniques for, but he used some of them better than others. He explained that his use of many laws overlapped and affected each other, and therefore he could no longer use all the laws as he wished, and this was logical for him, but according to Raiden\'s words...
He was not able to practice the first two laws at all, but he succeeded with the other laws and with different percentages. And one of them even reached 95%? At this point what is even the difference between him and a knight? It is clear that his body was built to handle this law even before he built his pillars with it. No wonder they call him the Lightning Boy!
This is one of the things Robin thought about when the topic of talent first came up, but what would he do with this information? The question is still how to raise the talent of the new cultivators so that they can use more than 50% of the rules before trying to break through.
But Annabelle\'s words opened a new path for him... The Empire did not have any previous data on people who attempted to cultivate multiple paths like Raiden did.
All noble families were reduced to the laws of one path, The Black Sun Kingdom for example had a few minor laws, all for the fire path. The four Empires had element specializations as well, with each Empire being distinguished by having the Major law of one path and the number of minor laws from that same path... Even the human tribes in Greenland and the giant tribes in Nihari have a specialization, like the tribe from which Jabba came, and they all use Lightning Divine tattoos!
It was only after Rubin unified Jura and distributed all of these techniques without supervision, and then appointed an entire R&D team to collect information, that incidents like this began to come to light.
As for what Saint Annabelle wants to say, it is not that difficult to guess. Robin furrowed his eyebrows slightly, "Do you mean to say that Raiden was born with a great affinity for the path of lightning and that he failed to cultivate in the earth and plant paths because they are the complete opposites to the path of lightning?"
Annabelle nodded quickly, "That\'s right, Your Excellency. We\'ve observed many such cases where the familiarity of paths varies between each person, but we have yet to find someone like General Raiden who can use 95% of the law."
"...Even I didn\'t know a number like this was possible," Robin muttered, the knighthood Pillars change the structure of the body to support a certain law, enabling him to use 95% of the Lightning Law before building his pillars is something very extreme, this literally means that if a bolt of lightning struck him from the sky, he would not have died!
Robin deeply believed that Caesar was able to reach 90% due to his body being rebuilt by the All-seeing God that day. After all, the All-seeing God used Caesar\'s foundations made with one of the Minor Laws of Fire as fuel to rebuild his body and return him young again... Who would have thought that there would be people like Raiden born with this kind of innate talent?
Then Annabelle continued, "When we caught this tip of the thread, we decided to conduct an experiment on one of the Flame Continent\'s academies, whenever there is a person who fails to break through to knighthood we would encourage him to cultivate another rule, then another, then another~ Although this is very exhausting for them physically and psychologically, as in the end, not everyone is general Raiden, but we were giving them money and supporting them in every way to continue the experiments with us until the end."
"And what was the result?" Robin asked quickly
Annabelle smiled, "The success rate in that academy has increased from 5% to 20%."
