Lu Shen looked at the rank 2 demon beast core in his hand.
He start to refine it.
Boom!
The spiritual energy inside the demon core of the intermediate stage beasts is extremely violent and pure, far more terrifying than the core of the low level beasts.
Every refinement caused pain all over his body.
Lu Shen endured the severe pain and he use spiritual energy to refinement his bloodline over and over again. He had completely lost the concept of time in his mind. he felt his body dancing with joy.
Who knows what time later...
Lu Shen felt that the energy of the intermediate rank 2 demon beast's core was nearly half exhausted, so he slowly stopped cultivating the Five Element Refinement Technique.
"Eight times speed?" Lu Shen felt very surprised.
He practiced the refinement of his bloodline eight times in one breath, which he did not dare to try in the past. Otherwise, his body would definitely be damaged. However, he completed it with the help of the core of the intermediate stage demon beast, and he was full of energy.
After that, he observed the speed brought by the core of intermediate rank 2 demon beasts on his cultivation.
"Ten fold increase in cultivation!"
If he could always use the cores of intermediate-rank beasts to cultivate, he could even be promoted to the Spirit Core realm within a month.
Lu Shen couldn't help but dream, but could it really be as easy as he imagined?
In the refinement realm, usual people will not call themselves true warriors because in the refinement realm people are refining the awakened bloodline, and in Integration realm, did the true awakening happen to be warriors as they integrate the awakened bloodline in their body to take a huge leap in strength.
Rank 2 and higher demon beasts may not be easy to kill, but Lu Shen was an exception because as he devoured, his speed, strength, constitution were the same as rank two beasts.
The cultivation effect of the intermediate level demon beast core is so terrifying!
.....
In a blink of an eye, a two passed.
At this time, the core of the intermediate stage rank 2 demon beasts had already been exhausted by Lu Shen.
After two hours of training, Lu Shen's strength broke through again, reaching a new stage.
[ Host: Lu Shen
Age: 18
Race: Human
Bloodline: Dual Head Serpent (Superior)
Warrior Realm: Refinement (peak) - 99%
Strength: 220
Endurance: 190
Agility: 160
Luck: 30
Cultivation Techniques: Five Element Refinement Technique[big success](95%), Golden Body Technique[small success](67%), Silent Breath Technique[small success](59%)
Skills: Stealth, Fire Armor, Wood Spear
Equipment: Origin Bracelet ]
[Stealth: Stealth allows the user to move unseen and unheard, making them almost invisible to enemies. The user can avoid detection by opponents who are warriors of early Sprit core realm.]
[ Fire Armor: A protective layer of blazing flames will cover the user. This armor not only provides defense against physical attacks but also burns attackers upon contact. It can endure the strength of even peak Integration Realm warriors]
[ Wood Spear: A long spear, ranging from 6 to 8 feet, it can tear through the defenses of warriors with peak Integration realm defense. This spear can also shoot four spears simultaneously at a time.]
He was just one step away from reaching the Integration Realm and after reaching that realm, he could call himself a true warrior. In terms of real combat power, Lu Shen is almost comparable to an Integration Realm warrior.
It's a pity that without the core of the beasts, his progress has become slow and his strength is not enough to go to the wild to hunt the beasts. He can only slowly spend time improving his strength.
This last step is quite hard to overcome since a large number of people are trapped in this stage. Even for Lu Shen, after devouring a large number of demon beasts in the Origin Realm and two rank 2 Intermediate demon core, he still didn't succeed in breaking through.
Suddenly, his Void Watch vibrate.
"Hello, who is this?"
"It's me, Feng Yue, Lu Shen" she says, as her small hologram figure appears from Lu Shen's Void Watch.
She was smiling at him, but Lu Shen can easily tell that she is not happy.
"Um, Feng Yue, are you not angry anymore?"
Lu Shen asked softly looking at Lu Shen.
"'Hmph, even if I'm angry or not, do you care? I'm here to tell you about our graduation news. Our graduation will take place in three days, so be prepared" she said, coldly glaring at Lu Shen and snort while placing her hands on her waist.
"That's it"
Feng Yue stop speaking to Lu Shen and turning her head away from him.
"So, that's the case. But why does she seem irritated to speak to me? Did I do something wrong with her?" Lu Shen thought and after thinking he shake his head not understanding anything.
The room became silent,
After taking a long breath, he continued,
"Um, Feng Yue, how did you get my number?"
He tries to change the subject and ease the awkwardness in the room.
But something unexpected happened.
"What? Can't I have your number? I got it from the principal" Feng Yue coldly scolded Lu Shen, pointing her delicate finger at him, not entirely truth though.
After she got home, she couldn't stop thinking about how Lu Shen was intimately talking with Wang Wei and other girls. Even after their intimate encounter in the trial ground cave, Lu Shen hadn't inquired about her in the past two days.
For two days, she struggled to sleep at night, even trying to forget what happened between her and Lu Shen. To escape that situation, she tried to focus on practicing hard, but she was always distracted.
Eventually, she couldn't resist and went to the academy to ask the principal for his contact information.
It was easy for her to get the contact information from the principal because they had a good relationship due to her clan's influence. After contacting the principal, she learned that Lu Shen was not answering calls from the academy. This gave her an excuse to call Lu Shen directly.
Lu Shen didn't receive the call because he had turned off his void watch, he not expected any calls from anybody as he lived alone.
Coincidently, he just turned on his watch and received Feng Yue's call.
"You can receive calls from Wang Wei and not from me, hmph" Feng Yue pouted.
"It's not like that. I turned off my device and have been practicing these days. You are the first to call me" Lu Shen replied hurriedly, shaking his hand.
He didn't understand why Feng Yue was angry, but he understood that she didn't like that he had given his contact info to Wang Wei.
But why?
He became confused, but he didn't ask Feng Yue because his gut told him not to.
"Ohh, is that so?" Feng Yue listened to Lu Shen's reply, feeling relieved. A smile appeared on her beautiful face as she stared at Lu Shen.
"Yes, yes" Lu Shen repeatedly nodded his head.
"Hmph, is there any problem if I call you another time and save my contact number, you answer to my call within 10 seconds, okay?"
"Yes, you can call me anytime, and I will not turn off again."
"But I don't think I can reply to a call in ten seconds" Lu Shen pleaded to Feng Yue with tears in his eyes,
how he could meet Feng Yue's request?.
"What do you say, Lu Shen? Will you do it or not?" Feng Yue angrily starred intensely at Lu Shen, her face just inches away from his.
"...."
Listening to Feng Yue's strange demand, Lu Shen's lips twitched few times, helplessly he nodded his head.
"Yes, I can do it, ma'am."
"Good that you understand," Feng Yue chuckled, seeing Lu Shen's teary face.
but...
'ding ding ding'
Feng Yue frowned as she felt this message was from the person she didn't want Lu Shen to have contact with.
"Whose message is it?" Feng Yue questioned Lu Shen furrowing her brow.
Lu Shen, seeing the message from Wang Wei, didn't know what to say to Feng Yue. He felt she dislike for Wang Wei and as he look at her blue eyes coldy staring at him, silently urging him to tell the truth.
"Shit, what to do, what to do?" Lu Shen began to sweat buckets, and he felt cold all over his body.
"Whose?" Feng Yue asked again, her tone becoming more intense and cold.
With no other choice, Lu Shen replied,
"It's Wang Wei"
Silence fell between them, and after some time, Feng Yue asked,
"What does the message say?"
"It says to call her since I didn't answer her call" Lu Shen replied nervously, knowing what was to come.
"Are you going to?"
Feng Yue asked in a threatening voice.
"Can I?" Lu Shen asked, his voice cracking slightly.
He had a good impression of Wang Wei reminding him a girl from his past world. Thus, Lu Shen wanted to answer to her message, he blurt out his thought in front of Feng Yue.
"Fool, all boys are the same" Feng Yue stomped her foot angrily before ending the call.
"..."
What happened?
"Did I do something wrong?"
Lu Shen become more confused
"Fool, can't you see? She doesn't want you to contact Wang Wei" the spirit scolded Lu Shen.
"But why?"
"You're a fool or just acting like one. Can't you see she's jealous of you talking to other girls?" the spirit teased.
"...."
"What are you saying? You only talk to me to tease me" Lu Shen blushed at spirit words, but he immediately scolded the spirit.
"Don't act as if you have a girlfriend, old man"
"Who said I don't have experience? In my time, I was very popular. Girls liked me just with one look." the spirit retorted
"..."
"bullshit.."
"Lies! Who can see you? I haven't seen your face" the Lu Shen retorted back.
"Who said spirits have body? Now I'm injured after that fight, so increase your strength fast to help me, and send an apology to her."
"Don't reserve yourself from it. You think you can't make her happy because you're from a poor background and her clan seems mysterious, but don't underestimate yourself. You can become one of the greatest warriors in the future, so don't reject her and live life happily" the spirit said seriously.
The spirit said that because his past master died by his own friend's betrayal. But if he had true friends, maybe he might not have died like that. So he suggested to Lu Shen not to make the same mistake.
Taking a deep breath,
Lu Shen had been lonely in his past life, he had no experience with dating. However, after interacting with Feng Yue in the trial ground cave, he began to develop feelings for her.His insecurities constantly reminded him that Feng Yue was not interested in him. Whenever she looked at him with a gaze different from what he had seen the first time he met Feng Yue, he repeatedly consoled himself, convincing himself that he was just imagining things.But now, even a fool could see what was happening. He hesitated until the spirit gave him a playful slap to awaken him. Now, he had the courage to make a move on Feng Yue.
"Hee hee, Feng Yue, my beautiful Yue..." Lu Shen began to chuckle, feeling lucky to have someone like her.
spirit: "..."
....
In Azura cloud Base,
Central area,
In a big villa,
Feng Yue's room,
"Fool, fool, can't he understand me?" Feng Yue shouted, punching the bed pillow as she thought about Lu Shen's clueless face.
But then she thought,
"But why am I angry? It's not like I'm his girlfriend."
After two days deep thoughts and some internet searching, she confirmed that she had feelings for him.
"even so how can he be this dense."
"Fool."
"Fool."
Di di di..
"Um, a message from..."
"I am sorry, Feng Yue. If you're still angry, how about going shopping tomorrow? I will buy anything you like."
"Hmmp, Playboy" Feng Yue couldn't help but smile.
