"How?"
This was the only thing Swamp Dragon asked as he looked at Kyle.
Kyle just laughed as he approached the table again. "I told you! We're rich!"
Kyle sat down on his old chair and leaned on the table. "I know that I'm loaded now, but I don't know how loaded I am. I've not been on other Planets. How much did you get on the other Planets?"
"36 and 128 Contribution Points," Manny answered quickly. "Each, not total."
"And how much did you get this time?" Kyle asked with a grin.
"3,945," Swamp Dragon answered absentmindedly.
Kyle just laughed.
Rarity Hunters earned a lot of money already, but Kyle's contributions were unreal.
"How did you even get this much?" Swamp Dragon asked.
Kyle explained how all these kinds of metals had appeared in his mind, and the two of them finally understood.
Sadly, something like this couldn't be replicated without the presence of a powerful Metal Elemental.
Over the next few minutes, everyone talked about their Contribution Points and what they would be buying with them.
Afterwards, the team split up since they all wanted to continue their training.
They were all extremely talented and hardworking Seekers.
Their lives were dedicated to the path to power.
After all, if that weren't the case, they wouldn't be as powerful as they were currently.
Kyle went back to his room, which was luckily still available.
When he got to his home gym, he looked at his Communicator.
'Wonder how people usually unlock their Major Clusters,' he thought. 'Maybe it's different.'
After reading up for a bit, Kyle learned that it was more of the same but also a bit different.
'That explains why people need the Law of Body to unlock the eighth Cluster.'
According to the database, Kyle needed to put his entire body under a lot of stress, not just his heart.
With the Minor Clusters, Kyle just needed to focus on the individual body parts, but the eighth Cluster was different.
The eighth Cluster was in the heart, and it essentially acted as a focal point for his entire body.
When unlocked, the eighth Cluster would spread advanced Biological Energy all across his body.
'So, the Minor Clusters deliver advanced Biological Energy to individual body parts, and the eighth Cluster delivers advanced Biological Energy to the Minor Clusters.'
'Funnily enough, it's theoretically possible to unlock the eighth Cluster without knowing the Law of Body. It would just take you almost 2,000 years, which is just your entire longevity in the Primal Realm.'
'Well, unlocking the eighth Cluster should be easy enough, but I'm not entirely sure if I want to focus on it,' Kyle thought. 'I just unlocked all my individual Clusters since I didn't really have another choice.'
'On the Planet, I comprehended the Fragment of Higher Primal Realm Materials, and I still need to make a good hammer. Also, I haven't swung it in quite a while, and I need to get back into the swing of things.'
'Let me just make a hammer first.'
The next moment, Kyle started to gather a lot of Metal Energy.
Creating a new Hammer always took quite a while, and the more powerful the hammer was, the longer it took.
'Luckily, I don't have to create permanent materials.'
Theoretically, Kyle could create whatever metal he wanted, but depending on what he needed it for, it might take seconds or years.
The reason was stability.
In this context, stability didn't refer to how hard or tough the material was.
Instead, it meant the material's ability to remain stable in the outside world.
For example, a Metal Affinity Beast could create powerful metallic spears in an instant and fire them at Kyle.
Meanwhile, Kyle needed months to make just a single hammer.
The reason for that was that Kyle's hammer was different.
These kinds of individual attacks just temporarily created unstable metal. The spears of this hypothetical attack would only be able to retain their physical powers for a couple of seconds.
Afterwards, they broke down into Metal Energy, which scattered and joined the Neutral Energy in the atmosphere.
Creating something that would last indefinitely would take forever.
If everyone could just create valuable metals, these metals wouldn't be valuable anymore.
If Kyle wanted to create a hammer that wouldn't break down in the outside world, he would need to spend over a century conjuring the materials.
Some less talented Seekers earned their money in this way, but any Seeker with enough power could easily earn much more money.
The materials Kyle was conjuring were half-permanent.
They were like the temporary materials any kind of Metal Affinity Beast could conjure, but there was one difference.
Connection.
Kyle's Energy was connected to the Metal Energy, and it would not disperse as long as it remained in his Soul Space or retained physical contact with him.
If Kyle's hammer were separated from his person for several seconds, it would disperse like all other temporary attacks.
Luckily, a couple of seconds was a long time for Primals. Well, it wasn't a long time when one looked at their life, but during battle, a couple of seconds was a long time.
Kyle decided to spend an entire year on his new set of hammers.
It sucked, but he really needed them.
'For now, these should be good enough,' he thought as he looked at one of his hammers. 'The perfect Lower Crusher Material should be able to withstand the power of 99% of Initial and Early Crushers.'
'Right now, I can't even hope to break this hammer.'
Kyle did a couple of calculations.
'Primals can technically also be distinguished as Initial, Early, Mid, Late, and Peak Primals. It's just that the distinction only goes up to the eighth Cluster.'
'Initial is 0/13. Early is 1 and 2/13. Mid is 3 and 4/13. Late is 5, 6, and 7/13, and Peak is 8/13. After all, when you are an 8/13 Primal, you can already become a True Crusher. Everything after that is just extra credit you can earn.'
'Higher Primal Materials should be able to withstand the power of 99% of 8/13 Primals.'
'Right now, due to my Complex Law, I probably have the physical power of an 11/13 Primal, and that's also where overlaps start to happen.'
'Since every True Crusher unlocked at least eight Clusters, they also all know the Law of Body. Additionally, while their body is still a big part of their power, the levels of Energy Density Crushers can reach with their Center are unreal.'
'A 10/13 Primal can probably fight the weakest and newest True Crusher.'
'An 11/13 Primal can probably fight the average Initial True Crusher.'
'A 12/13 Primal can probably decimate even talented Initial True Crushers due to their insane Momentum and power. Most likely, they can also fight Early Crushers.'
'My hammer should hold until that point. Most Early True Crushers and almost all Primals won't be able to break it.'
'Unless I'm fighting Primal Beasts. A Level Twelve Primal Beast could break my hammer.'
Kyle looked at his hammer.
'That's good enough. That means I don't have to exchange my hammers anytime soon.'
Kyle put his hammer over his shoulders.
'Time to 6-7 swing!'
