For a while, Kyle just looked at his working Formation Array with a smile.
'Don't need to use my own Energy. Don't need to use Energy Stones. Don't need to recycle materials. It just works!'
'I've managed to make a Grade One Karmic Energy Source! With this, I've taken a big step towards becoming a Beginner Immortal Formation Array Master!'
After reading a lot about Formation Arrays in Wild's Summit, Kyle had learned about the official levels of Formation Array Masters and what criteria one needed to fulfill to become one.
The first official rank was a Secondary Formation Array Master. Kyle had counted as one when he had acted as Azure Comet. His Formation Arrays had been on the level of a Secondary Formation Array Master.
Primary Formation Array Masters needed the skills to create a Gravity Energy Source while also having several powerful Formation Arrays. Kyle had already reached that level about 2,000 years ago.
The next level was Beginner Immortal Formation Array Master. In order to become one, one needed the power to build a Grade One Karmic Energy Source, but that wasn't the only thing.
Immortal Formation Array Masters were graded based on two things.
Energy input and Energy output. Energy input referred to how little Energy a Formation Array needed to run, while Energy output referred to how much power the Formation Array could exhibit when activated.
These two metrics by themselves could adequately show how good a Formation Array Master was. Increasing the output required more Laws and complexity. The more one put into a Formation Array, the more the Energy Wave could be refined and transformed. However, every addition of complexity also came with a drop in efficiency, which increased the amount of Energy the Formation Array needed to run.
To become a Beginner Immortal Formation Array Master, Kyle's Formation Arrays needed to hit the required values for both criteria for three Formation Arrays of all three categories.
Formation Arrays could be split into three categories. Offensive, Defensive, Auxiliary.
Explosive, Throwing, Cutting, Tearing, and similar Formation Arrays were Offensive Formation Arrays.
Concealment, Warping, Barrier, Blocking, Diverting, and similar Formation Arrays were Defensive Formation Arrays.
Sensing, Teleportation, Time-Slowing, Recovering, Investigation, and similar Formation Arrays were Auxiliary Formation Arrays. Gravity Energy Sources and Karmic Energy Sources were also Auxiliary Formation Arrays. After all, they were Formation Arrays to begin with.
'By creating a Karmic Energy Source, I've made it much easier to fulfill the criteria for Energy input. Every Beginner Immortal Formation Array Master has their own Karmic Energy Source, and they design their Formation Arrays around its output. As long as my Formation Arrays can use it as an Energy Source while exhibiting a certain level of power, I can become a Beginner Immortal Formation Array Master.'
Kyle sighed. 'Sadly, making the Karmic Energy Source is the easy part. This only opens the door for me. The hard part hasn't even started yet.'
'Anyway, I should look at the eighth task.'
Black looked at his Communicator and read through the eighth task.
'Glad that I've already made my Karmic Energy Source. Most of the requirements are pretty stringent. Having a Karmic Energy Source makes it a lot easier to hit these numbers.'
Kyle started his experiments, and after just a couple of years, he created a Formation Array that fulfilled all of the requirements. However, instead of submitting it, Kyle used his remaining time to learn more about Formation Arrays. He still hadn't gone through all of the contents of the Guides.
