Chu Fei was still breaking through, his aura steadily rising.
Wei Yunfan and the others continuously evaluated his realm—not because Chu Fei was calling out the numbers; Chu Fei was iterating. Rather, Wei Yunfan and the others were estimating based on experience. Such estimates carried significant errors, but they could serve as a reference.
Wei Yunfan was now constantly counting:
"17.53, 17.56, 17.59...
Oh, it should be 17.60 now. 17.63, 17.66..."
Because it was an imprecise evaluation, the intervals were broad, using a three-six-nine progression, roughly corresponding to the early, middle, and late stages of each minor realm.
According to the theoretical calculations of Big Data Cultivation, 8 to the 17.53rd power was approximately 6.4% greater than 8 to the 17.56th power. Given Chu Fei and the others' current foundation, even a one-percent difference involved an astronomical amount.
For example, when Chu Fei had just broken through to 16.0, his computing power had been 512 billion points. One percent of that was 5.12 billion points of computing power. By comparison, the cultivation standard for 15.0 required 7 billion points, with a lower limit of 4 billion points. And that did not even account for the fact that Chu Fei's computing power was more complex.
Simply put, a one-percent improvement in Chu Fei's foundation was enough to make his peers run themselves ragged. One small step for Chu Fei was someone else's entire lifetime.
So Wei Yunfan's evaluation error at the moment was "a little" huge. But no one cared, because Chu Fei's improvement was simply terrifying. Not only the elves—even their own people were stunned.
When Wei Yunfan called out "17.8," Rubel Sophia spoke again. "17.8 is still quite some distance from 18.0. But why does Chu Fei's aura feel even more terrifying than that of a late-stage intermediate god?"
