You're probably thinking 'damn, what a waste! Why not condense more spiritual cores using that same amount and rise through the levels quickly?' which was a valid thought, but also not really.
The reason why Master Elandor was enthusiastic about Dante was not because he could condense more cores with his "naturally" higher intelligence, but because he could condense bigger cores.
This would mean that at every stage, Dante was far stronger than his peers, which alluded to the whole 'foundation' thing popular in those eastern fantasy stuff. However, just like in those eastern fantasy s, such a thing required more effort and especially more resources to go further.
Dante was not too bothered. Rather than squat and cultivate his spiritual power like the other mages, he'd rather focus on his physical arts, break through his genes, absorb some new stats, and then bulk cultivate both internal force and spiritual power like he did right now and just rush through stages.
Soon, the new core was full of space element power, and it released a shockwave that caused the first core to tremble and link with it, doubling their power. The moment this occurred, Dante had officially broken through the first rank and entered the second rank of magedom, the Adept Wizard.

Adept Wizards deepen their connection to elemental forces. They can conjure and manipulate larger elemental manifestations, such as flames, ice shards, or miniature lightning bolts. Adept Wizards also hone their defensive spells, creating barriers and protective wards.]
Dante wanted to head to the Magus World and upgrade his status as well as learn new 2nd Rank space element spells, but he rose to his feet and looked behind him with a smile. The entire island had been completely transformed, going from bare land to a fully automated and mechanical base that was extremely futuristic and imposing.
Stretching across the island's newfound terraformed terrain, it resembled an intricate manifestation of advanced and logical design. Sections were created with purpose, each bearing its own specialized function.
The Central Nexus, a titanic dome of translucent material, housed the beating heart of the operation. Here, high-tech screens displayed real-time data from across the base, while thousands of quantum AI cores pulsed in harmony, controlling, watching, and calculating everything across the base at Dante's command.
The Agricultural Domes were a lush and verdant labyrinth spread across the islands. Botanical algorithms guided the growth of crops and animals under shimmering energy fields, a place to cultivate unique resources that Dante needed, whether beast or plant.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Technology Nexus hummed with energy, a bastion of innovation. Advanced workshops and laboratories filled every corner of its halls, where the engineer bots sculpted the future with plasma arc welders and quantum computers with pinnacle research AI's calculated the truth of the world.
The Skyward Tower, a crystalline spire that pierced the heavens, housed the most powerful quantum terminals and communication arrays. It reached upward, where stars and satellites painted the skies, and made sure that no matter how far from Earth he was, Dante would be able to connect with the base through the Quantum Network from his AI chip.
The Vitality Pools were a sanctuary of healing and tranquility beneath the sun-kissed dome. Apart from artificial waterfalls that cascaded down crystalline rock formations, botanical harmonizers that released fragrant mists that revitalized the spirit and body, there were also complex aquatic ecosystems that offered research and leisure. Some specialized fish glided through aqua-cycles, and bioengineered plants thrived, filtering and oxygenating the waters.
Surrounding the base's perimeter, located physically beside the Central Nexus but spread out across the entire outer wall, was the Command Citadel which stood tall and imposing. It was a fortress of authority, where strategy met security. It included an armory, an airstrip, and many sentry towers. All the weapons, ships, and various military-related items and equipment were stored and deployed from here.
Finally, there was the crucial Energy Expanse which was a symphony of advanced energy sources harmonizing in unity. Here, controllable nuclear fusion reactors, their mighty cores harnessed and controlled, shared the stage with psionic energy collectors that tapped into the latent psychic potential of the human mind, converting it into boundless power. Dark matter conduits intertwined with these technologies, their enigmatic properties channeling cosmic forces that surged into the energy farms, amplifying the output to unprecedented levels.
The base was actually quite simple. Dante did not need much from it and could establish better ones as he developed later on, but because of his high rank in the eternal universe, his extreme wealth, and his limited needs, the quality of this base was super high.
There were many sections missing like a teleportation zone, spatial blockade generators, super harvesters, among others. However, Dante had the peak of what the Eternal Universe could offer in each category, so you know for sure that he wasn't lacking in any regard.
The research zone here could work just as well as on the Inferno Dreadnought, even slightly better. The engineering zone allowed him to build his own ships, androids, and weapons since he had the specifications in his AI chip and only needed to procure materials from space, which meant it was time for asteroid mining!
Dante decided to physically walk and inspect the magnificent base despite knowing how everything looked thanks to not only his spirit sense but the fact that he literally designed it himself. After spending about 3 hours on this, Dante entered the Vitality Pools and found a room for himself.
This area was filled with special energies that comforted the mind and relaxed the body, allowing him to nurture aquatic life while also serving as a sort of mini-resort. You could bet that it had resting areas that were better than any five-star hotel room you could think of.
Dante entered the room, which was similar in design to those underwater hotel rooms that were expensive to go to, and then walked into the center pool. Rather than beds, there were pools you could lay in that were filled with diluted energy that could be absorbed by the body through the pores.
Dante needed this given his high SDI in which energy bars could no longer cut it for him if he wanted to live long. As such, he graciously entered the pool and sighed with enjoyment as he immediately felt two separate feelings: one was entering a warm pool of water, and the second was feeling like he was eating the finest meal, slowly being sated with each bite.
He lay there for an untold amount of time, in a semi-trance of something akin to sleep as well as lucidity. When he woke up, he was floating on the surface of the pool easily, and he felt like he had taken the world's greatest nap.
Completely refreshed and rejuvenated, he got out of the pool and checked his AI chip to see that it was noon, and a whole 6 hours had passed. He received a ping from his android self that he and Aisha had arrived safely and were in position.
Also, the Aether Viper AV-9X had returned to the base and could be used at any time. Satisfied, Dante flexed his body and felt his joints crack with relief, and he was full of energy for a while. He teleported into the research wing of the Infer
no battleship in the Eternal Universe.
He was pleased to see that research on all the items he had placed was done, and he collected the results into his AI chip. When he saw the replacements for the various resources, he raised his eyebrows.
