SSS-Rank Awakening: My Talent Multiplies Everything novel Chapter 170

Chapter 170: Trials And Errors

Several hours slipped by before Kael finally came to a stop.

He slowly let out a breath as he wiped the thin layer of sweat from his forehead.

Thankfully...

He had decided to test everything first.

Otherwise, if he had gone into battle relying solely on the skill descriptions, he would have found himself in quite a troublesome situation.

Descriptions could explain what an ability did, but they could never reveal every hidden detail behind it.

Take Void Echoes for example.

The ability functioned exactly as described. Upon activation, Kael was able to create seven perfect echoes of himself, each capable of acting completely independently without requiring him to constantly control their every movement. They could fight, scout, cultivate, or carry out separate tasks while remaining mentally connected to him.

At first glance, it was an unbelievably powerful ability.

Unfortunately, reality wasn’t quite that generous.

The clones lacked two of the greatest pillars supporting Kael’s strength.

His Infinite Reward Multiplier Talent.

And more importantly...

The Primordial Genesis Sutra.

The absence of the talent wasn’t much of an issue. After all, the Multiplier mainly affected rewards rather than direct combat strength.

The Primordial Genesis Sutra, however, was an entirely different story.

That cultivation technique was the very foundation of Kael’s power.

The Earth Energy it produced continuously strengthened every aspect of his body while amplifying nearly every ability he possessed. Without it, his overall combat capability dropped dramatically.

If Kael judged himself using nothing but his raw attributes, he estimated that he could probably contend with the strongest A-Rank Hunters, perhaps even barely step into the threshold of the weakest S-Rank Hunters.

That alone sounded impressive.

The problem was...

Nobody fought using raw attributes alone.

Every S-Rank Hunter possessed terrifying abilities, unique talents, years of combat experience and countless hidden cards. Once all those factors were included, pure statistics became only one piece of the equation.

The Primordial Genesis Sutra was what allowed Kael to bridge that gap.

Without it...

His echoes were noticeably weaker than his true body.

The System wasn’t lying when it stated that each echo possessed eighty percent of his strength.

It simply calculated that strength based on his attributes.

Not everything that truly made Kael... Kael.

Still, Void Echoes had exceeded his expectations in several other areas.

Each clone possessed its own independent mana reserve.

Although summoning all seven required an absurd amount of mana upfront, once they had been created, maintaining them consumed almost nothing. Through the mental link connecting them, Kael only needed to issue commands while the echoes handled everything else themselves.

Even more surprising was another discovery.

While they couldn’t inherit his Primordial Genesis Sutra cultivation...

They could cultivate it themselves.

Naturally, their two-hour lifespan prevented them from making any significant progress. Even cultivating continuously from beginning to end yielded only a tiny amount of results.

Yet when an echo disappeared...

Every bit of that cultivation progress returned to Kael alongside its memories.

It wasn’t much.

But seven echoes cultivating simultaneously every day would undoubtedly accumulate into something considerable over time.

Kael wouldn’t even need to personally meditate to continue making progress.

Just that discovery alone made the skill far more valuable than he had initially imagined.

Compared to Void Echoes, the remaining abilities behaved almost exactly as described.
