Four days have passed since that day, Dawn was in his room sitting in a meditative position, surfing the internet in his head with his eyes closed.

2 days ago he was given access to the internet by the order of the commander of the base.

He was looking for videos and articles about cultivation that were helpful for him. He was like a sponge absorbing all the information, like a thirsty man in the middle of the desert finding water to quench his thirst.

He stumbled upon an interesting article written by the author going by the name of sweet melon, in this article the author discussed why it was only at the body refining rank 3 that people came to know about the attributes of their mana.

At the rank 2 and 1 of the body, refining the mana in your body is negligible, not enough to fully test it or bring it out of the body.

Only when you reach body refining rank 3 you can draw the mana out of your body, After testing you can choose the cultivation technique that matches your mana attributes and begin cultivating seriously.

After going through all the information Dawn muttered, "So that's why the captain wanted me to inform him when he reached body refining rank 3."

But dawn was already at the body refining rank 5 and his cultivation was progressing smoothly even without a cultivation technique, but he was curious about his mana attribute, he planned to wait for some time before informing Nios that he had made a breakthrough.

He realised without a technique he wouldn't be able to utilise his mana effectively, he wanted to use his mana to become even more overpowered.

He willed the mana window to appear in front of him and a window appeared in front of him instantly.

Mana-50

The number left Dawn's mind boggled every time he looked at it, his mana was 50 times the average mana of a normal cultivator at body refining rank 1.

The other reason why he was interested in informing Nios was that he wanted to get a cultivation technique, because if some days he had to reveal his strength and the fact will also came to light that he didn't use any technique to cultivate, then he would in deep shit he wanted to avoid such scenario at all cost.

Sweetmelon in his article had repeatedly Warned to take every small realm seriously otherwise he wouldn't be able to survive while breaking through the next realm.

This line left Dawn confused, he wouldn't be able to survive, What did it mean, someone trying to kill him while breaking through or what?

He decided to not think about it as the channel construction realm was still out of reach.

Dawn pondered, "Even genius takes at least one month for every minor breakthrough in cultivation at the body refining realm, I will have to wait for some time before announcing my breakthrough."

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

Just like that 15 days passed in the blink of an eye, During these days he rarely met Nemo and others, 10 days he heard the news from Nemo that the twins had recovered and they decided to visit them together.

Ellora and Ajanta were lying on the bed clearly in a better condition than before, Ellora was surprised to see Dawn and Nemo, After some time they started chatting among themselves, and Nemo revealed how Dawn summoned the barbarian and killed all their enemies when she had fainted.

Ellora's eyes had a strange glint in her eyes when she heard that Dawn was a summoner.

Dawn walked a narrow corridor leading toward the gym where Captain Nios was waiting for him, earlier this morning he had Informed him about his breakthrough.

Captain Nios was shocked beyond belief, he couldn't believe that Dawn was already at rank 3, Genius took at least 3 months to reach this stage, how many days had it been since he started cultivating?

Dawn didn't care about Nios' shock or anything, if he were there to reveal that he was already at rank 5 he didn't know what expression Captain Nios would make.

After walking for 5 min he was in front of the A & P section of the gym, where he found Captain Nios talking to some cadets. Dawn walked towards him and performed a military salute, Captain Nios nodded and gestured to him to follow him from behind, Captain Nios started walking leisurely.

Dawn followed him silently looking at the unfamiliar surroundings for the first time in curiosity.

After walking for a minute or two they were in front of a room filled with water and fishes of myriad colours swimming silently minding their own business.

There was a path leading to the centre of the room, where a bow was placed neatly.

" Where are we captains? I have been coming to the gym frequently but I have never encountered this room," Dawn spoke out loud the question that had been on his mind since he entered the room.

"It's expected that you haven't seen this room, after all, you can't enter this room without being accompanied by a captain or someone with a higher rank," Captain Nios spoke as a matter of fact, he then continued," in this room, we will test your mana attribute.

"Get to the centre of the room pick that bow and raise it upwards in the air, The bow will absorb some of your mana and with that will conjure an arrow so don't be surprised," At that time Captain Nios informed Dawn what he needed to do.

Dawn nodded and started walking toward the centre of the room. After reaching there he picked up the bow and raised it upwards, The bow surface was cold to touch and he felt a strong force coming towards his hands which were holding the bow trying to absorb his mana.

But the force wasn't strong enough to forcefully absorb his mana if he wanted he could resist the force, he allowed the bow to absorb some of his mana and slowly his mana started moving toward the and an arrow started forming, the arrow was constantly changing its colour sometimes it was blue, then yellow and Black.

As soon as the arrow started forming the fish present in the water went insane. They were swimming crazily trying to jump out of the water, all of them acting like hungry beasts who hadn't been fed for days.

Dawn looked at the fishes below nervously, then suddenly he heard the voice of the captain," Release the arrow", captain Nios spoke.

Dawn released the arrow from its bowstring and the arrow flew in the air straight, as if it wanted to pierce the roof of the room but it couldn't as something or someone was dragging it towards itself.

Several fishes jumped but none were able to catch it at that time a fish covered in thick scales of black colour jumped and swallowed the arrow, the arrow disappeared in its mouth.

"Come back here and wait for the AI chip to finish analysing the data", captain Nios spoke and waited.

After hearing Captain Nios he moved back to his original position and," What were those fishes captain, Nios answered," These are magical fishes found in the Abyss forest of the dark continent, they are very useful as you can see as they feed on the mana of certain attributes".

"There are fishes like that", Dawn spoke in amazement after hearing the answer from Captain Nios.

" The data of the test is here", Nios spoke and transferred the data to Dawn.

Dawn heard a prompt in his head, ding! Receiving the data from Captain Nios.

Rows and columns filled with data appear in front of him.

Number of fishes that jumped toward the arrow- 869

Dawn went through the data and realised he had the lowest affinity toward the earth attribute mana with only four fish of that attribute jumping toward his arrow.

Dawn had the second highest affinity toward lighting and highest with dark elements with 200 and 400 fishes of the attributes jumping respectively.

" As you can observe from the data you have the highest affinity toward the dark element at grade a which can be considered quite good",

Captain Nios stated his opinion on the matter.

"So I have dark attribute mana with A grade affinity", Dawn spoke.

"Correct", Nios spoke in confirmation.

"Now you can come with me to the treasury to grab a regular cultivation technique and two additional techniques of your choice as a reward for the commendable efforts that you have shown in the war", Captain Nios continued calmly.

After speaking he started moving and Dawn followed him from behind.
