Chapter 192 - 192: Metal Affinity (1/2)
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was reasonable. ”Okay, now I know what I wanted, but it's no use to let my thoughts wander to random things. Regardless of whether or not you can stimulate a new affinity with these gold bars I have here now, I still want to try.”
Theo was also considering another possibility: would he be able to achieve an improved affinity if the essence that survives the force field is superior, and would it be something superior to a normal affinity? He believed this could be true since he had known that the Faux Heavenly Fire was superior to a standard fire affinity.
Shaking his head, Theo, who had already returned to his human form, began to use on the gold bars, making his six golden tails reach towards the gold bars. Expanding, they opened their mouths wide and began to devour all the gold at his command, bit by bit.

”Ohh, that was even faster than I expected!” Theo exclaimed in his mind.
The moment that this affinity was created… A crack was also opened where the essence of the metal was sucked in. This place was his Divine Sea, where his other affinities were maintained.
”Now, should I continue to use this gold and increase my metal affinity further? Or should I wait and buy a better metal and have a chance of experiencing an affinity mutation?” He thought, ”Because if I'm going to increase it, there's a good chance that by using it to evolve the affinity, it will be used in the mutation process if it's going to have any effect. But if I think about what happened to the Faux Heavenly Fire, the chances of that happening are not nil.”
In the end, that was also one of Theo's reasons for not wanting to increase the level of his wind affinity just yet. Despite the plentiful Wind Cores at his disposal, if the chances of the affinity evolving differed with the source used, then we would definitely want to wait for now.
”I also have to start thinking about getting a new cultivation technique for these affinities. At the moment, my current technique, although good, only improves my affinity with lightning and darkness.” Theo thought, ”But with that in mind, I think it's best to get all the affinities first, so I can make the most of the Mana around me when I cultivate!”
”Theo?”
”Huh?” Theo turned, ”Taking a break, Zaika?”
”Yeah.” She nodded.
”Well, since you're here now, what do you think about trying to stimulate a new affinity with wind?” Theo asked.
”Hrm.” Zaika asked, ”What exactly would I have to do?”
Theo explained, ”Simple, you just have to absorb the Magic Cores that I've purified while practicing your cultivation technique. The moment you do that, you have a chance that the wind essence of the Core may survive the force field.”
”Force field?” She looked at him in confusion.
