Novel Bin Chapter 23: Double Awakening.
Chapter 23: Double Awakening.
After 12 hours of struggle.
Reven's Root Cog had finally stabilised!
A Black Hole formed in his Root Cog and devoured the surrounding Ardor at full speed.
At the same time, Reven was fully concentrated on opening his Physical Body Sheath.
He ignored the pain his body was in and ran the [Harmonic Ardor Regulation Art: Phase 1] at full speed.
He named this phase the [Harmonic Foundation Phase], which included the opening of the Physical Body Sheath and reaching the Bliss Body Sheath Realm.
Finally, incorporating them, thereby forming the [Trinity Harmony] foundation trait!
This would become his greatest asset in the future.
Slowly but surely, the Ardor entered each and every cell of his body, reaching the physical matter at its core—the quarks of the atoms—and then harmonizing them.
Finally...
With a boom...
Reven opened his Physical Body Sheath!
His whole body felt as if it had been released from some kind of shackle. He felt free and unfettered, but he didn't indulge himself in that feeling; rather, he focused on his Root Cog.
What he wished to do right now was to completely use the Ardor to only awaken his abilities and not open his Root Cog.
He continued to circulate the [Harmonic Foundation Phase] to control his cells to regulate the Ardor towards the Black Hole opened inside his Root Cog.
This was an easy process, and it didn't take much time. Soon, all the Ardor entered the Black Hole without touching the Root Cog.
CLICK-!
Reven finally heard another click in his mind as his Abilities Awakened, but before he could understand what it was...
Thud!
He lost his consciousness.
-----
It was pitch black.
Reven's body could be seen floating in the dark with his eyes closed.
"Where am I?'
Reven questioned himself.
He tried to move his body, but he wasn't able to. He started to get anxious, but he couldn't do anything, not even speak or open his eyes.
"We need help. Please…" In this darkness, where he couldn't even move a finger, he heard a voice. He didn't know which language it was, but he could understand it.
"You need to reach us soon. Or else, annihilation will occur."
'What the hell is happening here? Am I finally becoming senile? Fu*k! Reven, think positive already.'
"They are coming. They are…" The voice abruptly vanished!
'The Hell?'
Reven's eyes snapped open.
-----
Reven opened his eyes only to see that he was inside his meditation chamber.
"What the fu*k just happened right now?" Reven muttered as he rubbed his forehead.
He tried to remember what happened, but...
Nothing!
He couldn't recall anything.
This made him even more anxious and suspicious.
He thoroughly checked himself, but everything was fine. So helplessly, he decided to ignore it for now.
He then focused on the situation at hand, which was his smell!
He was smelling pretty bad because of the discharge of impurities. So, before anything else, he decided to take a bath.
After coming out of the bath, he prepared some food for himself, then entered his bedroom.
After eating the food, he wore his Wrist-Band back.
'Empress'
[Initiating operations.]
[All set. You are in.]
After that, Reven finally decided to check his Abilities.
He sat cross-legged on the bed and focused his mind inside his inactivated Root Cog.
There he saw a small Black Hole that was constantly communicating with Ardor.
At the same time, all the cells of his body, forming his Physical Body Sheath, were constantly regulating Ardor in accordance with [Harmonic Ardor Regulation Art] as if they had their own consciousness.
This was the result of opening the first Sheath!
Reven's [Super-Senses] skill also played a great part in it.
As Reven touched the Black Hole inside the Root Cog with his consciousness, something happened. A large amount of information was passed into his mind.
[Transmutation]
[Covenant]
And [Unreality].
These were the names of his Abilities!
He has awakened three Abilities! Well, It was bound to happen, considering that he even used GEP-2.0 before his Awakening.
The [Transmutation] Ability allowed him to manipulate matter.
The [Covenant] Ability allowed him to form restrictions and bonds.
The [Unreality] Ability allowed him to open a small realm with the same characteristics as the real world!
This ability looked the strongest, but it also required very high amounts of Ardor.
'Empress, update status.'
[Ding!]
[Status update initiated.]
[Opening ranks… Cultivation started… Updating Arts and Awakened Abilities.]
[Update complete.]

After looking through his status, Reven clicked on his ranks for more details.
[Ranks: Overall- F
Strength- F
Enduranc- F
Stamina- F
Agility- F
Ardor Pool- ? (No data is available to compare.)]
'Explain how this works to me?' Reven asked.
Empress spoke in Reven's mind.
[Ranks are capacitive and qualitative measures taken after taking all the data regarding Awakeners around the world.]
[It has an average measurement range that is different for everyone and is regardless of the cultivation realm.]
"This means that me having (F) Rank Strength at the Physical Body Sheath Realm can be equal to someone who may have reached a higher Cog but has not trained his strength much. The same goes for the other factors too.
As for my Ardor, I think it's like this because it's too high as a result of the opening of the Physical Body Sheath, which others do not have. Plus, the fact that I am a Meta-Human.
The amount of Ardor my vessel can hold increased by an astronomical amount as a result." Reven muttered.
'Damn, isn't this way too overpowered? I really did a good thing by not publishing the method of opening Sheaths.' He couldn't help but chuckle.
'This method of measuring stats gives the true attributes of a person, regardless of their cultivation realm.
If only those 21st century cultivation webnovels added this type of measuring system too, many side characters would have been saved from trying to provoke the main character by looking at his lower cultivation base and not realizing his actual strength.'
He thought with a cheeky smile.
"Empress, can I hide my Rank?"
[No. It is not allowed.]
"I expected that.
[You can't hide your overall Rank for obvious reasons, as it will help humanity save many unnecessary deaths.]
[Still, you are allowed to hide the individual attribute Ranks.]
The ranks were divided from G to S, with each having three intermediate stages.
Reven got an (F) Rank for his physical attributes the moment he Awakened because he was a Meta-Human.
For a normal human, they had to train their Root Cog to perfection to even unlock the ranks. Also, they started at (G-) Rank.
Before that, they were called 'Rankless'!
