Chapter 337 Are you an animal?
Chapter 337 Are you an animal?
Meditating and noticing the changes in his Magic Core, Lith was amused to find the water becoming a bit better and less polluted. From what he could understand, the water was drinkable. Now, if only he could go inside his core would he be able to have a first hand experience at it, but such a thing wasn't possible unless he was an immortal.
The area had obviously increased and a few more types of terrains had been formed. Lith could predict from the changes that life would soon develop in his Magic Core and he was anticipating it.
In his past life, scientists did predict how life was formed and humans came into existence, but nobody has ever seen it themselves and such hypotheses and theories were present only on the basis of evidence found in the soil and other places.
Lith would get to experience first hand how life formed and he was excited about it. In his excitement, he didn't stop cultivating and went for a few more days.
Lith stopped when he felt that he should rest a bit. He opened his eyes and like usual, he saw his mother sitting on a chair and looking at him.
Lith got up and stretched. "Aren't you bored watching me?"
"Nope." Lilith answered with a smile.
Lith walked close to her and sat on her lap, facing her. He wrapped his arms around her neck and placed his head on her shoulder. Lith gave a lick to Lilith's neck and said, "I sometimes wonder how it's entertaining to just watch someone meditate for days."
Lith then bit onto her neck and started sucking her blood.
Lilith chuckled and hugged Lith back. She rubbed his back and said, "it's just what it is."
Lith didn't say anything and simply slept in her embrace after he was done drinking her blood.
Lilith kept patting his back and watched him sleep. Times such as these made her a lot happy. Her baby was in her embrace, what more did she want? She was content with such little things and enjoyed them.
…..
Scelestus, Hidden Continent.
BAM!
Alexandra crashed on a wall and spewed a mouthful of blood.
"Try harder." Arya said with a neutral tone, facing Alexandra. She had a blindfold on her eyes and was looking at Alexandra through her senses.
lexandra got out of the wall and spat a mouthful of blood. Her bones were broken and she was bleeding both internally and externally. But as she walked in a staggered manner towards Arya, her body repaired itself and halfway close to Arya, she was fully healed.
Alexandra skipped in her place and readied herself for the coming round. It has been 27 rounds and 4 continuous days of training. Yet Alexandra still hadn't managed to out do Arya in anything.
It was only natural that such a thing would happen. Arya was a Supreme Rank, a very strong one at that, and Alexandra was a mere Rank 8 in front of her. The power gap was just too much.
Alexandra knew about this but she was still trying to fight with Arya. At first she did it because Arya asked her to. Arya wanted to see what moves Alexandra knew of and was using in her combat style. She wanted to have a better understanding of Alexandra's combat style so that she could teach and train her accordingly.
But a while later, what ended up happening was that Alexandra found thrill in this one sided fight and kept going without stopping even though Arya hit her brutally. Part of the reason was that she loved fighting the strong and another was that she finally understood something.
The King which annihilated her clan and banished the remaining ones, he was a Supreme Rank. Arya was a Supreme Rank as well right now and Alexandra thought that the difference in boths' prowess shouldn't be too much. Thus, she found another good reason and kept fighting Arya.
Arya was patient with Alexandra. She didn't tell her that it was a futile effort to fight with her like that or that she would never beat her. Instead, Arya patiently waited to see how Alexandra would react to the different things Arya was throwing at her and was testing all her capabilities to make a solid plan to train Alexandra.
Alexandra charged towards Arya once again and Arya simply stood in one place without moving.
Akexandra ran and just as she reached close to Arya, she twisted her body and swirling in mid air, she hit Arya's head, sides, and legs with a triple kick.
Arya simply blocked them with her hand and didn't feel anything other than a light breeze.
Alexandra didn't give up, she did a flip and got away from Arya. She then took out her double bladed sword and prepared herself to perform the 35th Ancient Sword Strike, a secret technique of the Shadow River Sect given only to a select few people.
Arya looked at Alexandra with interest. She could tell that Alexandra was preparing to perform some sort of technique.
Alexandra gripped her sword tightly and looked at Arya. A serious glint was in her eyes and she bent forward and readying herself, she charged towards Arya once again.
Streaks of lightning and dark sparks were produced around Alexandra's body as she charged towards Arya. As soon as she reached her, she immediately flipped and attacked Arya's back.
Arya once again blocked it by dodging.
Alexandra thrust her sword in Arya's direction and Arya once again dodged it.
Alexandra wasn't able to touch Arya even slightly. If she isn't able to touch, then she wouldn't be able to implement the technique. The technique worked like a power-up method. The more you hit, the more the strength in it will become. But Alexandra wasn't able to land any hits and so it was becoming a problem.
Alexandra used all the skills of close combat she knew and tried to hit Arya with her sword. But Arya always just dodged it and didn't come in contact with the sword.
Hours of trying to attack later, Alexandra felt tired finally. Her hands were numb, her spiritual power was almost dried up and her body was refusing to move further. She had over trained herself out of thrill and now her body was showing response to it.
Though vampires had a good regeneration ability, it didn't mean that they wouldn't be tired. Being mentally and physically tired was a natural thing for all beings. Once spiritual power is exhausted, one would feel tired by all means.
But despite being tired and exhausted, Alexandra continued to fight with Arya. Half an hour later, her body wasn't able to take it anymore and she was about to fall down on the ground.
Arya rushed to her and supported her, ensuring that she didn't fall.
"Why must you work so hard? Are you some kind of animal that knows only to use brawn and not brain?"
Arya made Alexandra sit down cross-legged along with her but noticed that she wasn't able to support herself even this much and her body was still falling down. This was a problem but nothing too inconvenient.
Arya held Alexandra in her embrace and made her sit close to her. Alexandra's back was facing Alexandra and she was sitting in the space present between Arya's legs.
Arya hugged Alexandra and since she was taller than her, Alexandra's head only reached Arya's chin.
Arya rested her chin on top of Alexandra's head and asked, "not going to answer me, little sister?"
Alexandra was too tired and finding herself in a comfortable position, she had slept already.
Arya noticed it now and sighed again. It seems that she should've stopped Alexandra from working so much. She definitely knew that Alexandra hardly learnt anything in the meantime she was fighting her.
But no worries since Arya got to know a lot of things about Alexandra and had formulated plans in her mind to teach her further. She let Alexandra sleep for a while and waited for her to get up.
As Alexandra slept, Arya caressed her hair and said with a small smile, "You'll be a great warrior someday."
…..
Months passed.
The Seclusion Cave.
Lith was now 15 years old and without even him knowing, two years had already passed by since he possessed a Magic Core and began his cultivation journey. It wasn't just that, in just two years, he was a Rank 5, which was almost an impossible thing in the world.
Even for the elites of the elites, it would take minimum three years and Lith had done it in just two. Not only that, Lith would ascend to Rank 6 this year itself, uplifting the threshold even further.
Nobody had seen or heard anything about anyone who has broken through to 5 realms in just 3 years. From being Rank 1 to being Rank 6 was nigh impossible.
But not for Lith as he was the son of God itself.
Lith meditated and was comprehending things. In the past few weeks, he went ahead to do an assassination mission again and was now digesting all the knowledge and experience he gained from that.
Lilith, like usual, was sitting on her chair and was going through her phone. She had recently come across something called as 'memes'. She was not sure what they were but they did feel funny to her. So she was browsing through those and entertaining herself while Lith cultivated.
A few hours later, she looked at Lith and judging from how he was comprehending things, she felt that he didn't need to get out of this place until he was a Rank 6.
So she decided to speed things up even further. She walked towards him and inscribed a magic circle around him with him as the center. She imbued some of her spiritual power in it and waited for Lith to break through.
A few days passed.
Lith was shocked to know that he was about to become a Rank 6 now. From his estimations, he could guess that he would be a Rank 6 only half a year later and not earlier than that. But it's been just 4 months since his ascension to Rank 5 and now he was already going to be a Rank 6.
It was an amazing feeling that Lith wasn't able to describe in words. He continued to meditate and prepared for a breakthrough.
