Lucas stood in silence, his eyes fixed on the glowing red core in his hand. Its faint pulsations reminded him of the one his main body was already absorbing.
The power contained within these cores was staggering, more than enough to boost any cultivator's strength. But having two wasn't necessary for him. The corners of his mouth twitched as he weighed his options, turning the core over in his palm.

Lucas raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Roxana, huh?" He mused aloud, considering the suggestion. The thought of Roxana, already a formidable fighter, growing even stronger with the core's power intrigued him. "That does make sense." He muttered, a faint smirk forming on his lips.
