“The Willpowers of the current students are not that strong. The strongest three only had a Level Four of Willpower even though they have a Full-Moon Level of battle power. So the resonance degrees and the Willpower can be trained separately as two targets. Whereas Red-Eyed Medero and more who suppress their Willpower and increase the resonance degrees must have a special secret.”

Garen analyzed it in his mind.

The current three Elite Students were all on Level Four, but their strengths were terrifyingly unusual. They were the most powerful candidates for the Black Star.

Since Fila was an ex-student who had already graduated, he was not in the current rankings. Nevertheless, that ranking list he was in was done quite a while ago. As a result, it was still unclear what his strengths were.

He reorganized the two lists in his head and combined it into one.

There was no debate that Black Star Diofie would rank first,

Behind him would be Medero and the other two, Fila, Britney and the other ex-masters. These people were ranked differently in different lists as there was no battle. He did not know who was stronger, or weaker than the other. To know their strengths, he would need an insider information to understand.

After that would be the Generals of the Black Star Reserve, followed by many other New-Moon characters.

“The reliability of this ranking is quite high.” Using the compilation of various information that Garen had found, he had arranged it into a list. After all, different websites had different rankings. They also had different views on the strength evaluations of these masters.

The key point was that these masters were top talents. They would improve all the time, and so it was normal for the rankings of their strengths to change very quickly. It was also possible for someone to emerge suddenly as a master.

Garen’s own comprehensive ranking had maintained itself for many years, and the changes weren’t much.

“Fila is actually in the second echelon…” Garen thought about that attack just now — that surge and form of his Willpower, the Shapeless Snake. “Moreover, this is a situation with no Mechs. If he had a Mech, I have no idea how strong his Willpower will get!”

He had to admit that he was a very strong opponent. He was a prominent figure who was on the same level as one of Blue Narcissus’s Higher-Level, Britney. So compared to him, Nonosiva, who had just entered the Inner Courtyard as an Elite Student, their differences weren’t huge.

Garen had not started cultivating his Resonance Degrees. As he did not even have a Mech. there was no need to mention anything about achieving New-Moon or Half-Moon Level.

Sitting with his legs crossed on the bed, he began to sink his Willpower into his body.

The Level Five of nameless Willpower had already removed the Shapeless Snake Willpower in his body. When the Level Five’s strong healing ability played it’s part, along with the five points that were close to his physique, the damages of his internal organs were quickly repaired.

Getting close to the five points were classified as non-human. Even with this injury, his self-healing ability was very terrifying.

Garen’s Willpower could see the slow recovery of the wounds in his organs very clearly. A huge amount of blood was surging in his blood vessels, carrying tons of nutrients to each organ at a high speed.

The wound kept healing at a rate that was visible to the eyes.

“The Willpowers of Level Five Masters with high resonance level, what trick do they use?” While Garen urged his body to heal the wounds, he pondered on that question. Even getting close to the five points of the physique could not defend the impact from the attack of opponent’s Willpower Field.

After his injury was stabilized, he took out his tablet to inquire again. As expected, all the information regarding the resonance degrees were wiped off. There was no trace of the disappearance.

However, the internet in Inner Courtyard was terrifyingly safe. Garen had tried to hack it, but unfortunately, there was no effect.

He might as well gave Celine a call.

“Resonance degrees? I might have heard of this…” Celine was a little surprised. “It is said that it is a high-end thing. If you want to break through to Inherited Level, it won’t happen without a hundred percent of resonance degrees.”

“Regarding how resonance degrees will affect your strength, do you know the specific information?” Garen asked in detail.

“I’m not so sure about that. I can look it up in the family’s internal database for you. Hold on…”

Very quickly, the knocking sound of her typing could be heard.

“I got it! Resonance degrees… Once Level Five of Willpower is achieved, one would have to face a parametric. It is a key index to integrate with a Mech which would greatly improve your combat skills. Specific information… I don’t have enough confidentiality,” Celine got a little annoyed. “I’m sorry, my Level is not enough to look at this information.”

Garen had expected it.

“It’s nothing. After all, you’re only at Level Three of Willpower; you’re not qualified to understand. I’ll ask someone else.”

“Alright…”

After he hung up, Garen called Vivienne. Similarly, she did not even know what resonance degrees were. Compared to Celine, Vivienne’s Willpower only differed in one Level…

Garen put down the phone. Maybe in his contacts, only those rich and nobel guys would know about this. Though it was only a friendship where they exchanged benefits once; they had not crossed to a high-level of friendship yet.

“It seems like I can only ask the professor.” He moved his body, and felt that there was nothing serious in his organs anymore. The rest that still hurt was his vitality, which he needed time to replenish slowly. So, he opened the door and walked out.

He went to the second floor to find Professor Van Doe on the phone in his study room. It seemed like an old friend that he had a good relationship with. From time to time, he could hear laughter coming out from the room. Garen did not even understand the language he was using. It might be a minor language used in the Outer Region.

He waited at the door until the Professor was done with his call. After that, he lightly knocked on the door.

“Enter.”

Professor Van Doe replied in his usual indifferent tone.

Garen pushed open the door and entered.

“Professor.”

“Is there something wrong?” Van Doe lifted his eyes to look at Garen. For a moment, he frowned. “You’re hurt? We will not entertain the clashes between Students. You can only bring your injury upon yourself.”

Garen nodded.

“I hope to understand more information regarding the resonance degrees. I hope Professor can give me some guidance.”

“You understand how weak you are in the Inner Courtyard?” Van Doe’s expression softened. He then pulled out a drawer, took out a file of information, and passed it immediately to Garen. “All the information on resonance degrees are in there. You had to have your own Mech, only then you would be able to cultivate the resonance degrees. This is a key indicator of Level Five and Level Six. If you decide to change Mechs, this parameter must be recultivated. You should do some studying about it.”

“Understood. Thank you, Professor,” Garen nodded his head, and was ready to leave after he took the information.

“This information has a fee of 500 thousand Units. Please remember to reimburse Hill. After you’re done with it, do not leak it. Otherwise, do not look for me if you’re caught,” Van Doe’s voice came from behind him.

Garen had known that this was the result. He replied as he walked out the room, holding the information.

He looked at the information in his hand. It was just a thin piece of paper with a few pages, and that was worth 500 thousand Units… This was the reason why he did not want to look for Professor Van Doe.

In the Inner Courtyard, anything regarding learning came with a hefty fee. The price of anything here was not something that could be afforded by an average person. But relatively speaking, many good things or techniques were available to purchase here — things that one would not be able to find in other places, even top secret knowledge.

Holding onto the information, Garen was directly headed to the Canceling Room which was a place used to destroy things.

From the second floor to the first, it was only a minute walk. In this period of time, Garen had memorized all the information.

He casually disposed the information along with the contents of the Canceling Room, and into the room.

“Resonance degrees… The New-Moon Level’s resonance degrees could improve the pilot’s strength by twenty percent. This increment includes Willpower as well as a simultaneous increase of Mech amplification field. That meant that when there is no Mech, Willpower will increase by twenty percent. However, on the Mech, the increment would be twice the amount, resulting in an amazing forty percent…”

“After that would be Half-Moon Level. The degree of increment would measure up to around forty percent. No wonder that bastard’s Willpower was so terrifying. Originally he was in Level Five. Though after so many years of accumulation and the weight of his Upper position, he must not be lacking in all kinds of resources. With an increment of forty percent…” The information had recorded down some key points. “Achieving Half-Moon Level would be the first step towards using the Mech Integration Agent. During the initial integration, while the Mech and one’s own body goes through some adjustment, it would naturally create a resonance technique.”

“Full-Moon Level would achieve an increment of around sixty percent. Driving the Mech would double the strength, and the resonance technique would gradually improve. The strength would far exceed any other Pilot.”

“Double-Moon Level would achieve an increment of eighty percent and above. Every person’s Double-Moon Level would be different. That is the key to entering the realm of inheritance. One would need to have perfect synchronization with the Mech and their body to finally head towards the perfect goal. The rest is unknown.”

Each section, regarding the resonance degrees, were arranged in his head.

At that moment, Garen felt that his injuries had healed completely. Although it might have looked serious just now, the physique of his Hellfrost Peacock was not generally strong. And even though it was not as tough as top defenses, the powerful self-healing ability of the Hellfrost Peacock had shown its power.

In legends, the Hellfrost Peacock devours innumerable substances in the battle. While bearing the countless attacks and damages, no matter if it was a soul or physical attack, it would be to quickly respond to an enormous body through a terrifying swallow.

Although it is not as strong as combat power, it is one of the dozens of the largest strategic behemoths. As long as it was still alive, the ubiquitous chaos of radiation and coldness could bring endless nightmare to the enemy.

Often times, the outer damage would not even recover as fast as it does inside.

Garen tried to stimulate his Willpower. Both of the Willpower did not leave behind any aftereffect. This was in the state where he did not use the swallowing ability.

“No doubt it is the Hellfrost Peacock Technique…”

“After this, I should carefully consider the problems of the resonance degrees. Only then should I take a look at the differences between the Elites of high resonance degrees and I.”

He straightened out his clothes, and walked out the huge door of the villa.

It was quiet outside; no many people were passing by. In the distance, a small red shuttle-like spacecraft was flying around. Around it, laser cutters were firing out from two black Mechs that were formed into one.

Most of them on the road were young faces. A few stopped to watch, whereas the remaining ones had on an expression as if it was nothing new. They just went on with what they were initially doing.

Bang!

Sometimes, the small aircraft would suddenly land on the ground, and burst into a ball of fire. The wreckage would hit the buildings around. However, it then activates circles of ripples that does not harm the pavement.

The two Mechs in front were hacking each other up for a while. Regardless of the flames, a green-haired girl was pulled out from the wreckage of the aircraft and they flew away.

“This is so destructive…” Garen rubbed his belly as the pain of the pulling of his Willpower was still fresh in his mind. A flash of bright light flashed across his eyes, so he turned around and slowly walked towards that direction.
