Lancelot had no idea how to access the dark web. He was just an ordinary middle school student.
But Logo knew!
The major factions on Planet Oklo were closely connected. The Campbell Family also had business dealings with some companies in the Crimson Alliance, so they naturally knew how to access the dark web.
Holding his communicator, Lancelot slowly worked through the steps Logo had given him.
Three minutes later, he successfully entered the dark web.
He typed "low-quality genetic agent" into the search page, and a slew of shops soon popped up.
A newcomer visiting the dark web for the first time would be dazzled by all these shops and have no idea which one to choose.
Picking one at random could easily land them in a trap.
The dark web had its own code of conduct, and plenty of newcomers had been cheated.
But Lancelot was clearly not among them. After flipping through a few pages, he found a shop called Chongming Bird and entered a string of characters.
The other party soon responded with a string of characters as well.
Only then did Lancelot send a message in Astral Common. "I need one dose of low-quality genetic agent, delivered within ten days. The address is..."
"All right, same as usual. Cash on delivery!" the seller replied.
Lancelot didn't answer. On the dark web, no response meant agreement.
He then closed the page and logged off the dark web.
"Ding-dong..."
The doorbell rang. It was the food delivery he had ordered earlier!
He opened the door and took two tightly sealed white plastic containers, both giving off cold air, from the smart delivery robot's cargo compartment.
He opened the containers to find an assortment of high-energy foods, mostly different types of nutritional paste.
If all he needed was energy and he didn't care about taste, nutritional paste was economical and affordable!
"Let's begin, then!"
Lancelot's eyes gleamed as he carried several boxes of nutritional paste to the gym and began training.
Unlike Logo, Lancelot started by training his brain—or, more precisely, his mental power.
He switched his communicator to spatial projection mode, opened an app called Fighters' Home, and selected "dynamic vision training mode." A rapidly moving red dot appeared on the projection in front of him.
Lancelot concentrated, his eyes wide as he stared fixedly at the red dot.
At the same time, he drew on the experience from his memories of his previous life to prolong the time he could maintain this state of intense concentration.
Time passed slowly. More and more red dots appeared on the projection screen, moving faster and faster...
Lancelot's eyes began to redden, blood vessels appearing across them. His optic nerves came under unprecedented strain, the blood supply to his brain gradually dwindled, and his thoughts began to slow...
But he kept pushing himself, clenching his teeth until they ground together. In his daze, Lancelot relied on his tenacious will to keep his mind firmly in check, allowing himself not a single stray thought.
Finally, just as his strength was about to run out, a boom rang out in his mind, as if a bronze bell had been struck, and the vibration restored his clarity.
The noise beside his ears quickly faded away, and his mental world sank into unprecedented stillness and tranquility. Only the ever-changing red dots remained, as if they were all that was left in the world!
"Huff, huff, huff..."
Lancelot slumped to the floor, gasping for breath. He looked as though he had been hollowed out, his face deathly pale and his mind utterly exhausted, yet his eyes were brighter than ever.

Lancelot's panel was undoubtedly the worst of the three avatars.
He had started out as an ordinary person, with no talent, no bloodline, and no background... and he had a father like Grove on top of that!
If his memories hadn't awakened, he would have been all but destined to waste his life away.
But things were different now.
Lancelot stared fixedly at [Flow Method] in the knowledge/skills section.
Like the Star Swallowing Technique, it was a special auxiliary secret technique. For early development in particular, it was even more important than the Star Swallowing Technique.
By the time he obtained this secret technique in his previous life, it had been too late. It was of little use but too valuable to discard, so he had practiced it casually for a while before leaving it to gather dust in a corner.
But heaven had given him a chance to be reborn, and the [Flow Method] would be put to great use.
Lancelot's circumstances were different from Logo's, so naturally their training methods were also worlds apart.
Only forty-four days remained until the end of the semester. According to the immigration consent form, he would have to board an immigration spaceship and head to Planet Golden Bridge once the semester ended.
Once he was aboard the spaceship, it would be too late to change his mind, even if he became a transcendent.
So Lancelot had to make the most of his time.
To completely eliminate the side effects of the low-quality genetic agent, he needed exceptional control over his body and a sufficiently strong physique.
His physique wouldn't be a problem, with the Star Swallowing Technique and the cultivation experience from his previous life.
Control over his body was the key. Not only did he need years of training to become familiar with every inch of muscle and bone, but more importantly, the requirements for his mental power and perception were extremely high.
The [Flow Method] was the key tool Lancelot would use to improve his mental power and perception.
As long as he could raise the Flow Method to Lv11 and enter the [heightened focus] state, he could absorb the low-quality genetic agent without hesitation or fear of damage to his body.
He picked up a box of nutritional paste, unscrewed the seal, and poured it straight down his throat, finishing it in a few mouthfuls.
Only after eating five boxes in succession did Lancelot feel his body come back to life. He let out a long breath as beads of sweat streamed down his cheeks and dripped onto the floor.
"No, my physique is still too weak. I have to train my body while raising the level of the Flow Method." Lancelot worked out how to schedule his time and quickly settled on a plan.
For the next forty-four days, he wasn't going to school. He would simply take leave.
Of the twenty-four hours in each day, he would spend six sleeping and eating, and the rest training. He had to become a supernatural ability user before the semester ended!
