After a week that felt like hell, a girl could no longer hold on and died from exhaustion on the day the启蒙药剂 (enlightenment potion) barely arrived. Her still warm body passed by the briefcase filled with the potion, a scene that seemed like a cruel joke played by fate. The young men were heavy-hearted, knowing that one day they might end up the same way.

Allen's bright red eyes were fixed on the briefcase as it was carried into the lieutenant's quarters by two soldiers. He clenched his fists, vowing to survive no matter what.

The alternating gazes of Lani and Bai Fang flashed through his mind, the pain of that final glance still lingering in his heart. He would not let those who took away these gazes go unpunished, whether they were the Predators or the Black Widow Hunting Team; they all had to die!

The prerequisite was that Allen had to crawl out of hell. The fire of revenge burned in the young man's eyes, and the first step was to start with the potions.

After watching the potions disappear into his quarters, Lieutenant Ron said to the young men, "I hope you have read the manual. This afternoon, you will receive the injection of the enlightenment potion. At that time, you must follow the methods described in the manual to induce the potential of your genes. Let me remind you, it's best if you can ignite the spark in the first two injections. Otherwise, even if you ignite it in the third and final injection, your achievements will be limited, and you won't live long..."

There were still two hours until noon, and the lieutenant was unusually kind today, not making the young men continue training. They could return to their quarters, and the first thing each of them did was to read the manual thoroughly to memorize every word and sentence, hoping to ignite the spark on the first try.

Allen was no exception, but after reading the manual once, he put it down. In fact, after reading the manual, he could recite it word for word. In this hellish training, besides the rapid growth in survival skills, physical strength, and various abilities, he also discovered that he had an astonishing memory. It was as if the cruel training by Lieutenant Ron, constantly pushing his body to its limits, had awakened something dormant.

Compared to when he first entered the camp, Allen's physical condition had at least doubled.

The manual on source power issued by the lieutenant included the procedure for inducing the potential of genes and igniting the spark. This procedure, developed over hundreds of years by the federal government, was widely promoted in the military. Each year, many source power users were born in the military because of this procedure. Of course, the noble families on the floating islands had their own methods of enlightenment and naturally looked down on this textbook method.

After all, using the enlightenment potion had various drawbacks. The lower-class citizens did not mind these, but as upper-class nobles, they pursued excellence and perfection. Unless absolutely necessary, even the younger branches of noble families would not use the enlightenment potion.

After thoroughly reading the manual, Allen did nothing. In this rare free time, he lay on the bed, completely relaxing. The other young men, however, showed more signs of tension and anxiety.

Time passed differently for each of them, and soon it was afternoon. After lunch, the young men were gathered in a hall. This hall, located inside a mountain, resembled a bomb shelter. It was spacious and quiet. When the two green steel doors closed, they blocked out all external sounds. In the hall, besides the young men and Lieutenant Ron, there were only a few medical soldiers.

Allen and the others sat on the ground as required, and the medical soldiers opened the briefcase, loading the three-centimeter-long, green-glowing vials of potion into the injection guns. Following Lieutenant Ron's instructions, they injected the enlightenment potion into the veins of each young man's arm, from left to right.

As the slightly cool needle pierced the skin and the potion was forced into the vein under pressure, Allen's mind began to feel dazed. He knew this was a sign that the potion was taking effect. The enlightenment potion could greatly enhance human nerve sensitivity, and it also produced a hallucinogenic effect similar to drug use.

The manual stated that when the potion took effect, the user needed to concentrate their mind and meditate to let their spirit settle, in order to feel the resonance of the source power and activate it from the gene segments.

Cosmic source power and life source power, one external and one internal. Cosmic source power is about external acquisition, with the Magic Cube Energy Device being a clear example. Life source power, on the other hand, is internal, so if one cannot settle their mind, they cannot touch the power hidden deep within their genes.

Allen followed the method in the manual, using deep breathing to concentrate his mind, then imagined himself sinking deeper. Under the influence of the enlightenment potion, his nerve sensitivity increased exponentially. Soon, Allen could hear nothing but the steady beat of his own heart. The heartbeat was like a drum, pulsing at a constant speed. When Allen's mind merged with his heartbeat, the world became strangely quiet.

Past experiences flashed through his mind like a rewinding video. Allen saw Bai Fang fall, saw himself leave with the wolf pack, and saw the white broken finger on the black scorched earth...

His short life passed quickly through his mind. Countless images came and went, and finally, all the images disappeared, and everything became silent.

In the eyes of his mind, the silent world gradually gained a faint light. Under the pale red glow, something was slowly pulsating. When his mind's touch reached that thing, Allen suddenly realized it was a fetus.

It was himself!

With the help of the potion, Allen's mind sank deeper into his soul, like a wondrous journey of tracing his origins. First, he relived various moments since his birth, then he felt himself as a fetus. As the journey continued deeper, something in his mind silently shattered. Then Allen saw countless flickering lights, like a starry sea, filling his entire field of vision!

Allen felt a surge of joy, knowing he had successfully entered the depths of his genes and "seen" his own life source power with his mind's eye. He did not hesitate, and his mind's touch extended toward the flickering lights. The light that seemed closest was actually incredibly distant. Allen did not give up, and his mind's touch continued to reach out, becoming finer and finer as it stretched.

When his mind's touch became as fine as a hair, it finally caught a flicker of light. Upon touching it, the light, which had been still, suddenly flickered and rapidly flowed along the touch. The light instantly turned into a brilliant glow in Allen's "eyes," and the world of consciousness gently trembled. Allen involuntarily fell forward.

This time, he truly opened his eyes and saw a pair of thick, square-toed military boots. Looking up, he saw Lieutenant Ron's surprised face.

Ron stared at him for a full minute, making Allen feel a bit uneasy. Then he grinned and said, "You didn't disappoint me, kid. You successfully ignited the spark on your first use of the potion. You did well."

Allen was momentarily stunned, then he felt something circulating in his body along with his blood.

It was the first source power vortex!

Forming a source power vortex was the mark of igniting the spark. From this moment on, Allen officially became a source power user. Lieutenant Ron had someone bring over a notebook with a list of the young men's names. Under Allen's name, the lieutenant briefly recorded the situation of Allen igniting the spark and left the comment "great potential."

If Ron knew that Allen could see his entire life, trace back to his fetal stage, and finally see a source power sea like a starry sky, his comment would have been "outstanding talent." Normally, even if someone successfully settled their mind after using the potion, they would only see scattered fragments of their past, not a complete experience like Allen's.

Moreover, they could not see their fetal stage unless they had established their perception during that time. Finally, when the mind fully merged with the depths of the genes, the number of source power lights seen was a direct evaluation of potential. Normally, seeing a single river of stars was already considered great potential.

But what Allen saw was a source power sea like the universe's stars!

Two hours later, the effects of the potion passed, and all the young men opened their eyes one by one. They looked as if they had just woken from a long dream, with a lingering sense of incompleteness on their faces, but soon each received a lash from the instructor.

Ron shook his head and said, "You bunch of good-for-nothings, not a single one of you, except Allen, ignited the spark. You've wasted a valuable opportunity. Remember, your chances are limited."

The young men's ability to withstand physical punishment had greatly improved, and they could now endure the instructor's lash. But when they heard that Allen had ignited the spark, their gazes changed. As Allen walked out of the green steel doors, he felt various gazes from behind—jealousy, envy, and even resentment, a mix of emotions.
