Alex leaned back in his seat, his mind racing in contemplation.
His ship sat quietly in orbit.
Every ti Alex had previously used his inferior teleportation, he had teleported to wherever was in his direct line of sight.
But the thought of using spatial perception to teleport had never crossed his mind.
If he did that, then he wouldn't just be limited to the 120 degrees of vision to teleport within, but he could teleport in any direction, regardless of where he was looking.
That would be far more useful than just using his vision.
Not to ntion, it would allow him to jump the gun on so of his enemies as well.
They might think they would have the advantage of being able to sneak attack Alex if his back was turned towards them.
But they would be in for a nice surprise when he appears behind them, without even having to look at them once.
'Perhaps that's the real reason I gained Spatial Perception alongside my inferior teleportation…' he mused. 'Maybe that's the way I should have been using it this whole ti…'
Alex thought hard about it, and he couldn't help but laugh at his forr self.
How had he not thought of doing this before this point?
Eager to test his theory, Alex initiated a series of practice jumps inside his ship.
He focused on different points of the main deck, using his spatial perception to pinpoint his targets, rather than his eyesight.
In fact, to resist the temptation of looking where he planned on teleporting, and inadvertently interfering with his test, he closed his eyes, completely relying on his spatial perception to see.
'Ti to test it out then…'
With his heart beating slightly faster than normal, Alex activated his inferior teleportation.
Whoosh!
It was over in almost an instant, and Alex opened his eyes.
'It worked!'
And he was exhilarated.
He found himself 10 tres away from where he was originally standing.
But he hadn't opened his eyes once during the procedure.
So that ant only one thing.
He had actually achieved his goal!
His plan had worked and his theory had turned out to be right.
'So combining my spatial perception with my inferior teleportation does work after all…'
'That'll be very useful for in future battles, but I'm much more interested in seeing if that satisfies the requirents of basic control over an elent yet!'
Excited, Alex pulled up his details, ignoring all of the normal jargon that hadn't changed.
And he focused solely on the requirents to reach C tier.
[Requirents to reach C tier: Basic control over at least 1 elent (Complete), kill over 1000 enemies of a higher rank than yourself, solo. (403/1000)]
'Complete…'
For a second, Alex's heart skipped a beat.
He almost couldn't believe that he had already achieved basic control with just that one test.
At first, he thought that he might not have succeeded in that endeavour yet, as he was half expecting there to be so fanfare from the system, or so sort of congratulatory ssage or the like, considering how much emphasis it had put on elental control.
But it seed he had over thought it.
'Now I only need to kill another 600 or so enemies higher ranked than myself, then I can just absorb so more of the soul orbs I have stocked up, and I'll officially be a C- rank!'
'I wonder how my strength would feel when I reach that point…'
Alex felt excited just thinking about the possibilities of his future.
But he refocused his mind on the present after a short mont of celebration.
'I'll set my goal to beat this second requirent within the next 7 days… no, I'll make it 6.'
Alex was confident in his ability to kill so many enemies in such a short amount of ti, but that was only because he was literally in the middle of a war at the mont.
If the Red Demon's invasion wasn't so well tid for him, he would have had to spend months, or perhaps over a year, hunting in the Primordial Expanse just looking for 1000 beasts of a higher rank than himself.
Plus, there was no certainty or guarantee that he would be sent back to the sa place he left when he ca back from the Primordial Expanse most recently.
He had been switched after his first endeavour in there, so there was no telling if he would be switched again when he makes his third journey there.
'I see why the Red Demons are so bloodthirsty and eager to start wars with every new race they find…'
'The temptation of so many readily available soul cores to level up, not to ntion hundreds of billions of enemies of all different ranks no matter where you look…'
'It's just too good of an opportunity to pass up.'
Alex had cursed the System for having such a barbaric system in place, but he couldn't deny how useful it was to him personally.
It did save him a lot of ti and effort in hunting for so many enemies to satisfy his requirents.
While he disagreed with the System's way of doing things, that didn't an he wouldn't take advantage of it either.
The Red Demons had attacked the human race first, not the other way around.
So they were only acting in self defence for the ti being.
But Alex, knowing how greedy humans can be, had no doubt that if the federation knew about the ability to harvest soul cores of other sentient races, they would probably have sought out an intergalactic war themselves.
In fact, depending on the outco of the current war, it was probably only a matter of ti before they did so.
If they won this one, their confidence would only surge, and in their greed for more resources when the soul cores harvested from the Red Demon race eventually run out, they would venture out into the cosmic wilderness in search of more.
They already knew that there were more out there, thanks to Alex's capture of the Kree ship.
