Hearing this, Anna's expression became dim and shook her head "No." She then smiled "I'm not far from breaking through, though. I think in a few more days, I'll be able to do it."
"Okay." Max nodded. Then he took out around 200 Mana stones and gave them to her "Here, use these and break through."
"No." Anna shook her head "You also need these to cultivate. I can't take them. So, please do so, okay." She said in a gentle voice while looking into his eyes.
Inwardly, she felt very happy that he cared so much for her and was willing to give all of his Mana stones to her.
Max smiled and was about to say something when Anna suddenly asked "Max, how come you still have Mana stones left? Didn't you use them when you were in the forest? Or did you rob someone?"
Max looked at her in silence for a while. He was thinking whether to tell her about his 'ability' to cultivate without Mana stones or not.
