162 Bonus Chapter
"PRINCIPLE BOOKS!!!" Quinn screamed out in shock. What were principle books? They were the most expensive books in all of the galaxy for a really simple reason, they're not for sale!
In the beginning stages of cultivation, with the first being the star rank stage. Mana is gathered in the dantian and its primary tool is using it as a means of energy. Like a battery to a piece of technology.
But as one moves from the Star rank to the Meteor rank stage, there's a noticeable difference, in that the color of Mana changes from blue to red. This doesn't just mean there's now an increase in the quality of Mana. It also means Mana can be much more than just an energy. It now has the capability for growth too. It now contains some things that could be unraveled.
Then begins slight changes. One becomes suddenly receptive to some things. Strange things. These things were later called principles. They were due to the mastery of a particle subject of Mana.
With more research, it becomes more prominent. While human truly gained their power from their genes, there are specifics to their genetic abilities. Like a flame, genetic Awakener would be receptive to the principle of flames. Then flames become something more than just fireballs and arrows.
There the thought is formed. What are flames? Why are they formed? Why are they destructive? But if principles were such basic questions, then it would just mean all awakeners have to start attending science class but this is where the real deal comes in.
This strange question arises, but the power of principles lay not in the ability to ask the questions, but to twist this rule, to find a way through it, some sort of shorter corner. And this is where Mana comes in, its ability to find a way through this. To find that short corner.
With that genetic Awakeners can now begin their journey of defying the normals. Then normal mortals will call them magicians as they now could do things that are scientifically impossible to achieve, all with the aid of this new stage of Mana.
But there's a noteworthy note, Principles are personal to one genetic abilities.
But this also has its limiting effect. It will be very hard for a water genetic awakener to suddenly be able to twist flame as his or her Mana is configured for twisting water and not flames. These are the general rules of Principles.
There are multitudes of principles just to mention a few, flames, water, earth, blood, strength, soul, space, and time, each receptive to the gene present in the human body.
And for the Voidspace family, it was space.
Since principles are receptive to a particular gene. It is very hard to learn principles from others as you mostly won't have the same genetic ability as them. But in a family, where the same genetic ability can be passed down over and over again. That also means the book on principle that worked for your great-grandfather can work on you as you now both have the same genetic ability.
With this, the future descendants don't need to start from the basic line of slowly discovering principles which could perhaps take a lifetime, they could just read through their great-grandfather's understanding of principles and quickly comprehend and move on.
Through this what took their ancestors a lifetime to learn, they would learn completely when they were around 50 years old and would be able to quickly begin learning more and more before their lifetime ends. Then they too will pass on the baton which means the strength of the future generation will be greater than the last and the power will keep increasing.
This is one of the reasons why the Nine Families are called monsters. They had access to principles far above what is possible for their age.
The Voidspace family is no exception, this baton that is passed is called Principle books hiding the comprehension of past ancestors about the principles.
And right before Quinn was two such books.
Quinn picked up one of the books looking at the familiar title he had once heard.
PRINCIPLES OF SPATIAL MANIPULATION.
"I...I...How..." Quinn was deeply shocked by this. This book is only borrowed to the ultimate genius of the families but Old Man Mang brought him one.
"I'm counting on you during this event, Quinn. I'm waiting for the day you will enter the ancestral grounds and bring her out and perhaps the day you will sit on that throne and claim to be the leader.
You know well of your brothers' behavior, they lack that calmness of a leader and a more of rogues. They will only do more harm than good.
If you were able to comprehend these two books before the events begin, then your chance of survival would rise from 10 % to 40% percent.
So take your time, and practice well. The weight of the Voidspace family hangs on your shoulders. I pray you don't get crushed by its force Quinn. Get strong and as quickly as you can because the water is now only getting muddier..." Old Man Mang said which was like a prophesy to Quinn about something larger that was coming.
Old Man Mang slowly stood up from his seat he put on his glasses and walked toward Quinn
With a very fierce Patting on his shoulder that spoke more words than needed to say.
He headed towards the exit as the door made a clink sound.
Left alone was now Quinn who held the two gigantic books in his hands.
DROP DROP
11:52
The sound of dropping liquid echoed in the silent room dripping onto the book in Quinn's hand.

"Hey, damn dog, or whatever abomination you are. Let go of my legs..." A young man could be seen screaming intensely at a dog with a vein popping on his head.
"ROAR ROAR..." The 'dog' whose body was made completely of plate metals and with teeth harder than steel barked at him fiercely.
"Let go of the boy, Doom..."
"Roar..." The dog finally let go of the boy's leg as he scurried to its owner a dark-haired burly scientist who was screwing a mechanical part in front of him.
"Roar, roar.."
"Oh, good dog. You're doing extremely well in your programming..." The man said Patting the dog's head gently.
Zeras slowly picked himself up with a disgusting expression on his face as he dusted his clothes before picking up the huge box of technological equipment he poured on the ground when he was chased by the robotic dog
"Tch, psychopathic dog and owner. I'll bet he'll be the death of you one day..." Zeras muttered to which the scientist slowly raised his head Ashe looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
'Tch, I forgot. They're all Cosmic Rank stage beings...' Zeras thought as he strapped the huge box on his back before quickly scurrying up to the higher floors.
He didn't know what would happen if the scientist once again unleashed that psychopathic dog in him, who called him a bone on sighting him.
But he was sure it wouldn't be great. Still no matter what, it wouldn't be like the hell he went through, this past few days.
