Chapter 240: Two Troubles
That day, Benjamin finished his daily meditation.
After examining the increasingly complex Ring of Truth within his Spirit Sea, he finally withdrew from his meditative state in satisfaction.
After getting up, he habitually inspected the two crystal cores floating at the center of the energy force field, slowly merging together.
Streams of precise data fed back from the instruments, displaying their energy states.
After confirming that the energy fluctuations within the two crystal cores were normal and stable, Benjamin nodded in satisfaction.
These two energy cores were nothing like the low-grade Level 2 and Level 1 goods he had previously used for practice.
At this moment, one of the two energy cores before him radiated suffocating heat like a miniature sun, while the other released a soul-freezing chill like the essence of a ten-thousand-year glacier.
The Lava Giant's core was the intact core of the Level 4 Lava Giant Benjamin had "picked up" in the Frostfire Plane.
The other was the core of a Level 3 Snow Monster, which he had later purchased from the Academy's trophy warehouse at enormous cost.
Benjamin swiped his hand across the light screen and carefully checked their fusion progress, which was so slow it had nearly stalled. In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly.
"Just as expected, this can't be rushed..."
The energy intensity of these two cores was simply too high.
To perfectly fuse such utterly opposing origin energies of this level, he absolutely could not act with undue haste.
Although Benjamin's modification techniques were steadily becoming more refined, calculations showed that fully and perfectly merging these two behemoths into an entirely new whole would still take at least ten years.
And after that, he would need to raise the modified Black Giant to maturity.
