“Just… how…?”
“You do not have to force yourself so much, Ember. I know you are strong but, if you and I fight, you will lose.”
Nux spoke as gently as he can.
“Losing in a fight and not being a match at all are very different.”
Ember spoke with a wry smile on her face.
At the same time, she grabbed the hand Nux had extended towards her and stood up.
She didn’t promise in vain, after she was done doing ‘bad things’ with Nux, the two of them started sparring against each other.
However, Ember soon realized something.
Nux was too strong, no matter how she fought, defeating her was a simple task for Nux.
It was as if she was a child in front of him.
Ember couldn’t understand…
“We are both King Stage Cultivators, you could even be called a newbie King Stage Cultivator, then why is the gap between us so huge?
Just how is this possible?”
Ember questioned.
“That’s because of his Body Cultivation.”
The one who answered was a woman with a lean physique, who walked toward Nux, kissed his lips, and then turned towards her with a small smile on her face.
“Body Cultivation?” Ember frowned.
“That is correct.
Don’t you ever wonder how Nux defeated you when he was just an Expert Stage Cultivator?”
Thyra questioned.
“Isn’t that because he has an affinity with 4 Elements?”
Ember replied.
“That is not correct.” Nux shook his head.
“Having the ability to control all 4 elements is certainly good, however, it doesn’t allow me to defeat someone who is stronger than me.”
“Then this Body Cultivation…”
“In this World, Cultivation is divided into two parts, Mana Cultivation, what we people usually practice, and Body Cultivation, which, for some reason, is not practiced by any of the people I have met.”
“This is my first time hearing about Body Cultivation.”
Ember spoke.
“Yes, that is the reason why no one practices it,
Nobody even knows about it.”
Thyra nodded.
“Then how did you…?”
Ember questioned.
“Well, I don’t specifically practice body cultivation on my own.”
Nux answered and Ember frowned in confusion.
“His special ability.
It not only raises his Mana Cultivation but Body Cultivation as well.”
“!!!” Ember’s eyes widened in surprise.
She quickly understood what that implies,
“It means that just by having sex with us, he becomes…”
“Yes, he doesn’t just become King Stage Mana Cultivator, but a King Stage Body Cultivator as well.
This is the reason why he is so strong.
He is twice as strong as a normal cultivator of the same stage.”
“!!!”
Again, even though she had already thought about it, Ember was still shocked.
“C-Cheating. You are cheating!
You are cheating in life!”
Ember complained like a small child while she pointed her trembling finger at Nux.
She actually looked quite cute right now.
A small smirk appeared on Nux’s face as he glanced at Ember,
“Isn’t it a good thing that the man who is all yours is special?”
Ember, who was pointing at Nux aggressively, blushed a little.
Then, she nodded her head in agreement.
It’s a good thing indeed.
“Tsk, fucking cheat.”
This time, Thyra was the one who complained.
Again, Nux just kissed her lips as a bribe,
The bribe worked, the woman just closed her eyes, moved her hands around his neck, and enjoyed the Kiss.
“Hey…”
Suddenly, Ember called out.
“Hmm? What is it?” Nux questioned.
“This Body Cultivation…
I know your ability won’t help me with this, but… do you have any technique through which I can start this?”
“Hmm?” Nux narrowed his eyes.
“Well, I don’t want to admit it, but I know that I have already used up all my potential. No matter how much I cultivate, I can’t improve my Mana Cultivation now.
Not only that, with your ability, once you get stronger, I will get stronger as well, therefore, I was thinking,
That rather than just depending on you to get stronger, why don’t I try this Body Cultivation?”
“Well, it’s not a bad idea, but the problem is that we don’t really have a ‘technique’ you can use.”
Thyra answered and Ember turned silent.
‘I guess I was hoping too much.’
Ember thought inwardly and shook her head in disappointment.
However, suddenly,
“Actually…”
Nux spoke.
“I do have a Body Cultivation technique with me.”
“Huh?”
Thyra and Ember both looked at Nux with shocked looks on their faces.
“You do!?”
Thyra, however, was more shocked compared to Ember.
“Why didn’t you give it to me then?”
“Umm… You never asked…?”
Nux smiled wryly.
Actually, before Ember mentioned this, he never thought about it. It just… skipped his mind.
It was pretty strange.
‘Why hasn’t any of us ever thought about this?’
Nux wondered in his head and after thinking for a while, he finally realizes.
Every one of them was busy with their own goals in their minds,
Thyra was trying to be ‘useful’ to him. Always trying to become an Expert Stage Cultivator as soon as possible.
Felberta was busy catching up to Skyla and others and defeating them no matter what.
Skyla was busy learning Killing Techniques.
Lane just wanted to stay together with everyone.
Edda… well… her mind was filled with other thoughts. As for getting stronger, well, she didn’t really care.
Amaya had her physique. She only focused on her physique and thought of ways to increase her mastery over it.
As for Allura, well, she was influenced by Edda and didn’t care much about strength either. As long as she was with Nux, nothing else mattered.
Ember, however, was different, she was someone who had used up all her potential and didn’t have any ways to get stronger than her current self.
For someone like her who values strength over her life, this was devastating.
Therefore, this Body Cultivation Technique was a new hope for her.
“Alright then, Ember.”
Nux smiled, then, a book appeared in his hands and he extended it towards Ember.
“Here.”
Ember took the book, however, as soon as she read the title, her eyes widened in horror and surprise.
“S-S-Seven Star Cultivation Technique…”
