God's Eyes Chapter 898 - First Mission

Firstly, he was a little bit astonished by the fact that he could circulate the energy of the Soa crystal through his body as if it was his routine.
However, what he perceived when he led the energy towards his soul world core was even more exciting!
Continuing to experiment, he lead the trace of energy towards his soul world because his gut feeling was telling him that this was the correct move.
In the end, this was dangerous, but his gut feeling had never betrayed him so far.
With that in mind, Jason circulated the Soa crystal's energy inside his soul world, where the soul world core was already vibrating brightly.
Only a fraction of a second later, the soul world core took the reins of control away from Jason and suctioned the Soa crystal's energy inside.
This astonished him a little bit, only to notice that his passive soul energy increment circle had been accelerated.
From the looks of it, the acceleration was more than a third of its normal speed.
Jason felt that there was more to it and this could not be the only effect of the Soa crystal's soul energy, even if it was already extremely interesting.
As such, he waited for a few moments before the first soul energy had been manifested.
At this moment, Jason clearly understood that the generated soul energy was much purer than the one before.
But what followed later as Solaris devoured it, was another interesting thing.
Instead of devouring three soul energy units in order to annex one, Solaris didn't even devour a single soul energy unit.
The origin flame annexed the transmuted soul energy as it was and focused on nurturing its mana core instead.
This dumbfounded Jason a lot because everything he had figured by now was confusing.
It was almost as if the Soa crystal's energy had something to do with Soul energy.
Yet, simultaneously, it was something completely independent that had nothing to do with the Soul energy of Jason's soul world core.
In the end, soul energy was something that would slowly lose its value once he entered the Ascendion stage.
That was, if the words of the other Agran that had already entered the Ascendion stage were true.
As such, he was not sure of what exactly he would do with the millions of soul energy units that enveloped his soul world core.
The other Agran had stated that soul energy could accelerate the fusion between the vessel and soul.
This seemed to be a racial trait that gave specific perks to the breakthrough process of cultivation!
This meant that he would be able to catch up to Jennifer and be on par with her cultivation base the moment he had enough mana in order to form a firm mana thread.
Fortunately, there was no need for him to rush anything as he had more than enough time on his side.
The surrounding threats seemed to be pretty tame and as such, he felt no need to force himself to break through into the Ascendion stage.
Not having to rush calmed him a lot, and there were only a few things he had to pay attention to.
As such, after digesting the information he found out just now, Jason lifted his head, returning his attention to his soulbonds, and even more so, to Jennifer.
He had only heard a few of her words as he had been busy with the thoughts.
Sensing that he might have ignored her made him feel guilty as he smiled at her apologetically.
"I'm sorry Jen, I was a little bit distracted, what do you want to do?"
Jennifer had already noticed that Jason's mind was somewhere else, which had caused her to stop speaking for quite some time while waiting for Jason to stop pondering.
However, this took quite a while, which caused her to feel as if he was completely uninterested in her opinion.
Yet, seeing that his soulbonds had a similar reaction complete with annoyed faces and a disappointed body language, she understood that this was just Jason's annoying behavior.
She felt a bit better to think that she wasn't the only one to get ignored. Jason's beloved soulbonds were ignored just like her, which made it possible for her to keep her calm as she suggested.
"Let's take a look at the missions board inside the mission hall. Tier-3 missions shouldn't be an issue for us to complete. I believe some Tier-3 Missions with Prismar stage beasts should be quite interesting, even if we're not allowed to get Soa crystals as a reward.
By the way, do you need them for your true soul awakening, or something else?"
Because he had already spoken with Jennifer about the true soul awakening, she had an inkling of what had been on his mind.
He had told her to pay attention to her surroundings, and update him if she felt the need to have something particular to awaken her true soul.
However, until now, neither of them had found anything great..or so they thought.
The Soa crystals were the first indicator of the ingredients they had to find without knowing what items they really needed.
"I got a weird feeling about the Soa crystals, and I believe that they're the main ingredients for my true soul awakening, yes!"
With a bright smile on his lips, while sharing this, Jason felt extremely happy about his discovery.
Seeing him happy made her automatically smile as she began to inquire Jason about what exactly he was feeling and how he figured that the Soa crystals were what he needed as the main ingredient.
His answers were vague, but that was only obvious because everything he felt was based ont his gut feeling and intuition.
Nevertheless, it was quite informative for Jennifer because she got to know about what she had to be careful of.
A rough indicator to know what she was looking for was much better than knowing nothing, after all.
With that in mind, they had already returned to the mission hall, which they entered without hesitation.
Once again, they were greeted with a few odd gazes because of Jennifer being a halfling in the realm where only humans were supposed to live.
Yet, instead of bothering about the gazes of the people around them, they appeared in front of the mission board.
Both of them ran their eyes through the entire board and quickly ignored the Tier-1 and Tier-4 missions.
After finding details of the missions that were important for Lique and Prismar stage Cultivators, they began to read it.
The Elder said that they could take on lower-ranked missions too as long as they accumulated a total of 10 stars.
As such, completing two Tier-3 and two Tier-2 would probably be the best.
However, this was also only the case if the missions could be connected with each other.
Otherwise, completing five Tier-3 would be relatively faster as Lique stage beasts were not even worth mentioning anymore.
Looking through the mission board took quite a while because it was filled with all types of Tier-4 and Tier-5 missions, blocking off the papers of other missions that were pinned to the board.
This indicated that there were far more troubles with Ascendion and even Specta stage powerhouses than he initially expected.
Jason thought that this was unexpected because the Yinar race was certainly much stronger than the Agran race.
Unfortunately, this only meant that he and Jennifer shouldn't grow too relaxed as troubles might reach the city at any moment.
Problems were something they had had enough of in the past few years, and by looking at each other, they conversed via voice transmissions.
They shared their ideas and opinions, including the things they had figured out so far.
[The troublesome missions are quite far away…so there shouldn't be much of a problem for us to stay here and focus on cultivating, and everything else, while taking a few breaks once in a while before we go all-in again, right?]
Jennifer's thoughts were rather simple. She wanted to continue cultivating while resting once in a while.
This was something Jason would love to do too, but he thought that their first mission might already be bothersome.
After all, most areas they had to enter in order to nearly solve any mission were surrounded by territories of stronger beasts.
'That's quite bothersome…'
