This time, Cain began as swiftly as the others and his eyes immediately burst with a red light as he began to decipher the ws in the Gic Chains. Not even a minute had passed, and the counter above his Gic Chamber had already reached the one-hundred mark!


    Shock and awe appeared on the faces of the other Novice Gic Coders as they witnessed this, especially since the second ce had only reached 15!


    It was clear to all that Cain Laurifer''s Gic Coder abilities were in apletely different league. Asking him topete with other Novice Gic Coders was like asking an Apotheosis Realm Master to discuss cultivation with a Wave Champion.


    Still, no matter how much it frustrated the other teams, Cain had the right to participate in the two trials since he was under thirty. In fact, of the ten Novice Gic Coders, he was the youngest by far.


    Cain focused solely on the Gic Chamber, analyzing every Gic Chain. The Flow yed a crucial role as it allowed him to perceive the frequency of each chain, and anything that was out of tune was clearly a mistake.


    The more he learned about The Flow, the more Cain realized that it was not an ability made for only the battle. It could reach every aspect of a cultivator''s life.


    Cain was sure he was just touching the surface of The Flow, but his cultivation was still too low to delve deeper into it.


    Although The Flow was an extremely important subject, Cain kept his mind focused.


    Cain''s eyes and hands moved faster and faster, and the number above his Gic Chamber kept increasing. By the time the one-hour limit was reached, the second-best Novice Gic Coder had detected 1203 ws, while Cain''s score surpassed 15,000!


    The difference was just too significant. To the point that even if the other Novice Gic Coders added their marks, they would still lose.


    Sn wore aplicated expression as he observed the reactions of the other Novice Gic Coders. They were truly in apletely different league, making them question their skills.


    However, the man did not offer words ofpassion. Gic Coding was full of struggles, and if they couldn''t surpass this challenge, they were never meant to be Grandmasters to begin with.


    "First ce. Cain Laurifer. Fourth Imperial Prince''s team.


    Second ce. Jordan Simion. Second Imperial Princess'' team.


    Third ce. Niron Azure. Third Prince''s team."


    The first and second ces remained unchanged, but this time, the Novice Gic Coder of the Third Imperial Prince Team imed the third ce.


    It seemed that the young man from the Azure Royal Family only needed time to rx in order to showcase his true skills.


    Cain nced at the young man from the Azure Royal Family and was surprised. He had never expected that man to take third ce since many others disyed greater Gic Coder abilities.


    ''How odd.''


    There was no reason for someone to be an expert in gic ws while failing in other aspects of Gic Coding. However, Cain didn''t dwell on it.


    While Cain was talented in Gic Coding, his knowledge was still limited to the mainstream path. Perhaps the Azure Royal Family had insights that improved certain aspects, allowing their mastery over gic ws to surpass others.


    Of course, there was also the possibility that the Azure Novice Gic Coder had cheated. Still, Cain did not have any evidence of that, and he would not go around making a fool of himself by using someone of a crime without proof.


    Sn was also a little surprised about the third-ce winner, but since the cube detected nothing wrong, he moved on. He gave the participants an hour to rest before signaling the Elder Gic Coders and second Novice Gic Coders to step forward, assembling the entire teams. Then, he waved his hand, projecting a virtual screen with the teams'' scores above him.


    [Fourth Imperial Prince: 20 points.


    Second Imperial Princess: 10 points. Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire


    Crown Prince: 2 points.


    Third Imperial Prince: 2 points.]


    Smiles adorned the faces of the Imperial Family members, but the brightest shone on the Fourth Imperial Prince. us nodded appreciatively, receiving praises from other contestants. For the Fourth Imperial Prince, the prize of winning was insignificant, but the acim that came with victory was invaluable. With Cain on his side, his win seemed inevitable.


    Sn allowed everyone a moment to strategize before speaking again.


    "The next test involves the entire team. Each team must create Wave Viruses. One must be a Wave Talent Enhancer, the other a Life Span Enhancer, and thest, a Battle Survival Enhancer. You can choose your viruses, but they must fall into those categories. We will evaluate each Wave Virus and give a ranking ording to their efficiency.


    The first ce in each category will gain 10 points. Second ce earns 5, and third ce gets 2."


    Solemn expressions gripped each team, especially the one led by Marlon White of the Second Imperial Princess'' group. They still had a shot at winning the tournament. If they secured first ce in two out of the three categories, their score would surpass that of the Fourth Imperial Prince''s team.


    "You all have ten minutes to prepare your forms and gather the necessary materials. The first Wave Virus will be the Wave Talent Enhancer."


    Sn uttered those words before adopting a meditative position in the air, waiting for the teams to decide.@@novelbin@@


    Like the other teams, Cain, Dimento, and Severin began discussing their strategy, using their Ego Waves to maintain privacy.


    "Before I make a suggestion, does Grandmaster Laurifer have any unique forms that could be useful in this situation?" Dimento asked Cain, hopeful for any advantage. It would not be odd for a divine talent like Cain to have ess to a unique inheritance with special forms to deploy better effects than others at the same rank.


    That would actually exin the young man''s sudden rise as a Gic Coder.


    Unfortunately for Dimento, Cain''s talent relied on the [Gic Coder Module] and The Flow, neither of which granted him ess to unique forms.


    "The only Saint Forms I have are for the Life Trent Lineage and True Avernus Lineage. I was hoping to acquire a Wave Talent Enhancer Form for the Saint Level after this," Cain answered honestly.


    Dimento nodded, epting the response.


    "I have several forms at my disposal. Some I''m confident in, while others are too challenging for me alone. I have a Peak 4-Star Gic Form for a Wave Talent Enhancer Wave Virus, but sess will heavily depend on Grandmaster Laurifer''s assistance since it surpasses my current abilities."


    Cain''s face grew solemn. "I will do my best."


    Dimento smiled, appreciating Cain''s humility. The Elder Gic Coder did not want an overly confident youth who did not understand the difficulty of a 4-Star Wave Virus and whose arrogance could lead to mistakes.


    "That will be enough."


    Dimento then turned to Severin. "Severin, you''ll assist me and Grandmaster Laurifer. Stay focused. We might only require your assistance a couple of times during the entire project, but that could make the difference between sess and failure."


    The young man''s face was as serious as it could be as he nodded, and his eyes burst with golden light.


    "I will not fail you, Father."


    Upon hearing that, Dimento showed a brief smile, but it quickly faded, reced by a stern expression as he nodded to the young man. Next, he shared the Gic Forms with Cain.


    Cain couldn''t help but frown as he analyzed the Gic Form. It was trulyplex, and there was no way he could seed alone. Luckily, he would only y a supporting role, so he nodded in understanding.


    Sn opened his eyes, signaling the time to start.


    "Start!"


    Each team beganmunicating with their Gic Chamber, silently demanding the materials required for their Wave Viruses.


    Cain observed the Gic Chamber filling with liquid as Dimento requested materials, and his eyes narrowed as he looked to the other teams. A meaningful light appeared in his eyes as hemunicated with Apex.


    ''Apex, can the [A.I. Chip Module] scan the process of the others without altering the cube or alerting anyone?''


    The current capabilities of the Modules of the Absolute Life Form System matched aplexity equal to the Apotheosis Realm. However, the [A.I. Chip Module] was special as it grew stronger alongside his soul force and didn''t require a direct upgrade.


    ''It can, but that would mean there won''t be a chance to use the [Gic Coder Module] to fix the ws of the next Wave Virus you and the others are going to make. It would require the full power of the system.''


    Cain smiled upon hearing that answer. He never nned to use his Destiny Force in the tournament, so there was no issue with the module being inactive.


    ''Do it.''


    As soon as Cain uttered those words, the Absolute Life Form System focused its entire power on the [A.I. Chip Module], deploying an invisible force field that engulfed the other Gic Chambers.
