Ender logged out of the Virtual Universe and returned to the real world.
He sat by his bed, planning how to use his points in the Stellar Training Camp. "Currently, I have 230 points. These points should be enough to exchange for a first-order Spirit Weapon and a first-order Force Armor."
"If there are any points left over, I'll use them for Nutrient Solution enhancements. With my 32-fold Life Gene Level advantage, the strengthening of Gene Energy is the foundation!"
As a Spiritual Master, his Spiritual Master Rank could be two Ranks higher than his Gene Energy Rank!
If he raised his Gene Energy to Stellar Rank Third Order, then his Spiritual Master Rank would be Stellar Rank Fifth Order, and with his 32-fold Life Gene Level, he could contend across four Ranks, meaning his Spiritual Master strength would be equivalent to Stellar Ninth Order!
This was the terrifying aspect of a high Life Gene Level!
He knew that the stronger his power, the higher his chance of survival in the Stellar Training Camp!
So, he planned to maximize his foundational strength first, and then exchange for secret technique scriptures to enhance his power.
After a short rest, Ender reconnected to the Virtual Universe and entered the Stellar Training Camp to hone his skills.
Originally, he had planned to challenge someone to a gamble, but then he remembered that Rolando wasn't the only one who knew he was a Planetary-Level Domain Genius; there were two other students present at the time. The news of him being a Planetary-Level Domain Genius had probably already spread throughout the Stellar Training Camp.
Time passed...
Departing from Kuka Planet, Sand Sea 1 traveled for over a month and finally arrived at its destination, Sand Sea Star.
At the spaceport, Ender and Borswell left Sand Sea 1 and took a spaceship to the Stellar Training Camp on Sand Sea Star.
On the spaceship, Ender asked Borswell, "Are your crew members being reassigned now?"
"Yes."
Borswell nodded. "It's publicly announced that Sand Sea 1 has a malfunction, and all crew members except the captain will accompany Sand Sea 1 to Emperor Molten Rock Planet for repairs."
"That excuse is quite casual. Is a D9-class spaceship really that easy to break?"
Ender was a bit speechless, but he felt it was a good outcome for those crew members; at least they weren't silenced.
"I have eight years left on my term, and then I will return to Emperor Molten Rock Planet."
Borswell said, "If you have enough points, it's best to first exchange for Nutrient Solution to strengthen your Gene Energy. I will perform Nutrient Solution enhancements for you during these eight years."
Ender nodded; he knew the importance of this matter.
He wanted to avoid exposing the peculiarity of his high Life Gene Level, so when undergoing Nutrient Solution enhancement, he needed someone to conceal it for him, and Borswell was the best candidate!
"Your identity as a Planetary-Level Domain Genius has already been entered into the Stellar Training Camp's database."
Borswell continued, "After arriving at the Sand Sea Stellar Cultivation Camp, I will first assist you in strengthening your Gene Energy to Planetary Level Ninth Stage. Once you Breakthrough to Stellar Rank, notify me before undergoing Nutrient Solution enhancement."
Ender nodded again. "Understood."
After saying this, Borswell began to close his eyes and rest. In fact, he still felt grateful to the young man beside him.
If it weren't for his special nature, he might not have had the opportunity to serve as His Majesty Emperor Molten Rock's personal guard.
Click!
The spaceship arrived at the Stellar Training Camp on Sand Sea Star, and the hatch opened.
Before leaving, Borswell said, "You should first familiarize yourself with the Sand Sea Stellar Cultivation Camp with the staff. I'll go report to the person in charge of the Sand Sea Stellar Cultivation Camp, and then I'll notify you to go to the enhancement room."
Ender nodded and followed the waiting Stellar Training Camp staff to familiarize himself with the Stellar Training Camp.
Sand Sea Star, as its name suggests, was entirely covered by desert. Even with an atmosphere to reduce the sun's thermal radiation, the planet's surface temperature was still very high, unsuitable for life below Planetary Level.
The real Sand Sea Stellar Cultivation Camp was slightly larger than the one in the Virtual Universe, though the buildings were quite similar.
After touring the Sand Sea Stellar Cultivation Camp with the staff and visiting his assigned dormitory, Ender received a message from Borswell.
"I'm waiting for you at the enhancement room."
Looking at the brief message, Ender flew towards the enhancement room.
Soon, he saw Borswell outside the enhancement room.
"Follow me."
Borswell said, leading Ender into the enhancement room.
This enhancement room was a separate building with many rooms inside. Passing through a long corridor, Borswell led Ender into the interior of the enhancement room, arriving before an inconspicuous room.
"This enhancement room is very special. In the future, besides you and me, only the person in charge of the Sand Sea Stellar Cultivation Camp has permission to enter."
Borswell said, "Remember, from now on, you will use the Nutrient Solution for enhancement in this room."
Ender replied, "During your tenure, I will use the Nutrient Solution for enhancement as quickly as possible."
Borswell nodded. "Go in now. First, enhance your Gene Energy to Planetary Level Ninth Stage Pinnacle."
Taking off his clothes, Ender lay down in the Nutrient Solution.
Borswell then came to the Nutrient Solution and operated it for a bit. Soon, Vitality-rich Nutrient Solution flowed through the pipes into the Nutrient Solution.
Ender, lying in the Nutrient Solution, absorbed the Nutrient Solution, comparing it in his mind. "This Nutrient Solution is richer in Vitality, better than the Nutrient Solution I used on Sand Sea 1 before."
Three days later.
The Nutrient Solution opened with a "click," and Ender leaped out, quickly grabbing his clothes and putting them on.
After he was dressed, Borswell, who had been waiting with his eyes closed, finally opened them. "Now your Gene Energy Rank is Planetary Level Ninth Stage Pinnacle. You can go apply for the data and resources to Breakthrough to Stellar Rank."
Ender replied, "I will go apply shortly."
"Mhm."
Borswell nodded. "Contact me again when you need to use the Nutrient Solution for enhancement in the future."
With that, he walked towards the outside of the room.
"Thank you, Lord Borswell!"
Ender bowed in gratitude towards Borswell's retreating back.
After Borswell left, Ender took out his communicator and applied for the Stellar Rank Breakthrough data and resources.
With his identity as a Planetary-Level Domain Genius, he received much attention from the Sand Sea Stellar Cultivation Camp. Not long after he sent the application, a message replied.
The subject of the message had only four large characters: "Application Approved!"
And the content was the Stellar Rank Breakthrough data, as well as the location to collect the Breakthrough resources.
Leaving the enhancement room, Ender first went to collect the resources, then returned to his new dormitory.
Having obtained the data and resources for Breakthrough to Stellar Rank, he was not in a hurry to Breakthrough, planning to settle down for a few days before Breaking through to Stellar Rank.
Five days later.
Inside the dormitory of the Sand Sea Stellar Cultivation Camp.
Ender sat cross-legged on the ground, with two metal boxes in front of him containing the resources for his Breakthrough to Stellar Rank. The resources in one of the metal boxes had already been consumed by him.
"Begin Breakthrough."
With a thought, following the Breakthrough data he had thoroughly studied, he first gathered nine miniature planets, then detonated and merged them into one!
With the assistance of the Breakthrough resources and data, he easily condensed a star-like sphere in his Sea of Consciousness.
With the birth of his Stellar Rank sphere, an invisible fluctuation covered his entire body, and his body rapidly transformed!
His physical quality, which had originally reached the Pinnacle of Planetary Level and could no longer be improved, now Breakthrough to Stellar Rank, allowing him to improve further as his life level leaped to Stellar Rank.
"This feeling is truly wonderful!"
Ender felt the changes happening in his body, his heart filled with joy!
"Next is the Gene Energy Breakthrough to Stellar Rank."
Taking the second portion of Breakthrough resources, he followed the Breakthrough method in the data, raising his Gene Energy to Stellar Rank as well.
