Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 535 - 348 Star Elevation Device_2

"About one in ten Super Mutants,"

"And 3500 points is just the minimum standard for using the Star Elevation Device; the success rate is less than 10%. If you want to ensure a success rate of over 50%, the Star Power Index must reach at least 4000 points."

Ke Mingshan looked at Ji Xinghuo, saw that he was listening intently, and smiled, "Xinghuo, you’ve definitely met the standard."

With his keen eyesight, even without testing, he knew that Ji Xinghuo’s Star Power Index far exceeded that of ordinary Super Mutants.

Mutants capable of ascending the ladder all met the standard.

Ji Xinghuo wasn’t worried about himself; he was surprised by the "Star Power Index," which sounded very similar to the "Star Power" values of the Wanxiang Star Pupil.

He wondered if the two values were interchangeable and used the same units?

4000 points in Star Power Index was considered outstanding.

This was very close to his previous estimations of other Mutants’ Star Power.

As Director Ke said, Ji Xinghuo had seen many Super Mutants, but the proportion that reached 4000 points of Star Power was very low. This limited the widespread use of the Star Elevation Device; it couldn’t be popularized.

"You should test it first," Ke Mingshan said.

Ji Xinghuo nodded, "Okay."

"Besides the Star Power Index, you also need to test other data, including strength, speed, neural response, Star Power output power, and so on," Ke Mingshan said, "The Star Elevation Device needs to calibrate according to your data to achieve the best support effect."

Following the instructions, Ji Xinghuo took off his clothes, and he was only wearing shorts, revealing strong and well-proportioned muscles. Even to a layperson, it was clear this body contained immense power.

There were over a dozen researchers in the laboratory, both male and female. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

The men were okay; the female researchers couldn’t help but sneak peeks at Ji Xinghuo’s physique, and some admired him openly.

Ji Xinghuo’s expression remained unchanged.

He stood on a device that looked like a weighing scale, and a ring of light scanned him from head to toe; it took half a minute to produce results.

"Star Power Index: 16103!"

The big screen displayed the scanning results, and the whole laboratory went silent.

"Sss..."

Several researchers couldn’t help but gasp.

Ke Mingshan wiped his eyes, making sure he saw it right—Ji Xinghuo’s Star Power Index had reached five digits!

16103 points!

This wasn’t an error in the Star Power scanner; his gaze towards Ji Xinghuo changed as if he was looking at a monster.

The researchers present were all familiar with Star Power Indexes; they had scanned Mutants of various ranks and collected data for research.

The most powerful Super Mutant previously was from the Daxia Empire’s Titanium Cobalt Dragon Man, now a Legendary, his pre-promotion Star Power Index was over 5200 points—already alarmingly high, and Ji Xinghuo’s Star Power Index was more than three times his!

Over sixteen thousand points, higher than even Legendary First Dan.

Many Legendary Second Dan Mutants did not have a Star Power Index as high as Ji Xinghuo, who was still just a Super Mutant.

"No wonder..."

Ke Mingshan was shocked and enlightened, "I’ve always guessed that your Star Power Index would be high, but I didn’t expect it to be so high. However, it’s no wonder, you are the top ranker of the ladder, and you can compete with the Sun King; a Star Power Index over ten thousand is normal."

The researchers, recalling Ji Xinghuo’s achievements, finally felt relieved.

Everything was explained.

Ji Xinghuo, however, was very calm; he was more concerned about the measured Star Power Index, which had some discrepancies with his own Star Power values.

However, the difference was small; the two values were roughly interchangeable.

"Director Ke, what is the unit of the Star Power Index?" Ji Xinghuo curiously asked.

"One point of Star Power Index can roughly be understood as the energy produced by the annihilation of 1 nanogram of matter and antimatter," Ke Mingshan explained the concept; in layman’s terms, 1 point of Star Power is equivalent to the energy released by 22 grams of TNT exploding, which is about 92000 joules.

"So that’s it."

Ji Xinghuo guessed that the unit of Star Power values of the Wanxiang Star Pupil differed from those defined on Earth.

Next, he continued with other tests.

Height 182 cm, growing 2 cm in the past three years; weight 140 kg, completely unnoticeable from his physique as his muscles, blood, and bone density had undergone several evolutions, integrating relevant Alien Species, far exceeding normal humans;

Unaided bench press of 180 tons, impact resistance, speed, neural reaction, and so on, all test data set records for Super Mutants.

With each set of data measured, the researchers exclaimed in astonishment.

He was anything but a typical Super Mutant!

The legendary powerhouses tested by the Ether Research Institute, most of them did not compare to Ji Xinghuo, only a few legends were slightly better in certain respects, but also very limited.

Compared to comprehensive data, Ji Xinghuo was already comparable to the Heavenly King.

What Ke Mingshan found most puzzling was Ji Xinghuo’s "Star Power Output Power," which was determined by the Star Gland.

The higher the power, the more Star Power could burst out in a short time, and the stronger the combat power.

And Ji Xinghuo’s Star Power output power was simply outrageous.

It was higher than the Heavenly King by an order of magnitude!

Ji Xinghuo himself was very clear about what was going on; it was the effect of the "Magnetic Spirit Star Core." He had not noticed it before, thinking it only made his Star Power carry electromagnetic properties. Now he realized it had many more advantages.

In addition, the three Ether Resonances also played a huge role.

"Your Star Gland is very unique and powerful,"

Ke Mingshan said thoughtfully, "With such a high output power, its input power and energy conversion rate must also be high. Even without using the Star Elevation Device, you will soon be able to advance to Legendary."

Ji Xinghuo silently nodded.

Ke Mingshan hesitated to speak.

If he could get Ji Xinghuo to cooperate with his research, perhaps they could achieve some results, but this involved Ji Xinghuo’s secrets, so he tactfully did not ask further.

He was originally going to ask Ji Xinghuo to report the Alien Species he had merged with, but now he gave up on that idea.

The data collected was sufficient for Ji Xinghuo’s promotion.

"Get ready to start."

Ke Mingshan’s assistant opened the "Star Elevation Device," and Ji Xinghuo stepped inside. It was a spherical space with a diameter of about five meters. In the center was an ergonomically designed chair, similar to those in the Ether Energy Gathering Room. He lay down on it.

The researchers fixed Ji Xinghuo’s limbs to the chair, and Ke Mingshan said, "The elevation process will cause pain. Try your best to stay still. If you really can’t endure, press this button to stop immediately."

"Is there no way to use anesthesia or something?" Ji Xinghuo asked.

Ke Mingshan shook his head, "Pain is the body’s most important protective mechanism. Using anesthesia is like removing protection, and it can easily cause life-threatening complications during promotion."

While he was speaking, a researcher picked up a bundle of metal wires.

The tips of the wires were sharp needles, meant to be inserted into Ji Xinghuo’s limbs, chest, shoulders, and head. However, they triggered the Holy Scale Armor. The tri-color scales emerged from beneath the skin, deflecting the needles.

"Could you cooperate, please?"

A female researcher, touching Ji Xinghuo’s robust skin, whispered.

"Sorry, natural reaction," Ji Xinghuo quickly deactivated the Holy Scale Armor, controlling his skin to soften, allowing the needles to be inserted smoothly.

At that moment, five Mutants arrived outside the Star Elevation Device. The electromagnetic induction scanned them: two Legendary, three Super Mutants.

Ji Xinghuo asked, "Who are they?"

"They are all here to support your promotion," Ke Mingshan explained.

These five people were support Mutants trained by the Ether Research Institute, each infused with "Ether Affinity."

In addition, each had merged with one "Ether Resonance," "Energy Enhancement," "Star Shaping Ring," "Condensation," and "Star Power Resonance." These five Abilities combined were an indispensable part of the Star Elevation Device, facilitating the promotion of Mutants.

The Ether Research Institute had trained over a hundred such support Mutants in total.

Today, these five were the most outstanding.

A researcher came over carrying a tray with several types of drugs.

"Drink all these," Ke Mingshan said, "They are all potions that will help increase your conversion efficiency and success rate."

Ji Xinghuo didn’t hesitate; he drank all the potions.

Ke Mingshan led his team out.

The Star Elevation Device was completely sealed. Ke Mingshan directed the researchers to bring in four fully packed boxes of Ether Crystals, each containing fifty pieces, all installed in the slots on the outer layer of the Star Elevation Device, serving as the source of Ether Energy.

The mere consumption of these Ether Crystals meant the Star Elevation Device couldn’t be widely used; ordinary Super Mutants simply couldn’t afford it.

The equipment, drugs, researchers, support Mutants, Ether Crystals, and even the Super Mutants themselves needed to meet the Star Power Index standard.

All these conditions combined, only a handful of people globally could fulfill them.

The interior of the device was utterly quiet.

Ji Xinghuo lay motionless on the chair inside, quickly calming his mind. The five support Mutants also took their respective places, operating parts of the Star Elevation Device.

"Begin!"

As Ke Mingshan’s voice came through, the Star Elevation Device gently vibrated and started.
