Chapter 504 - 504: Increasing Resistance to Poison (2/2)
- One hour later -

[Technique: Body of a thousand poisons - Achieved High Advance!]
[Skill: Poison King - Reached Level 2!]

Just a little over an hour passed and Theo had achieved two advances in technique: Body of a thousand poisons and reaching level 2 with the skill: Poison King.
The poison in the bathtub, which was initially green, turned red, then blue, until it disappeared and became transparent.
'I need a more potent poison...' Theo opened his eyes and the blue aura that was almost changing to green dissipated.
After talking to Rya, he filled the tub with poison, but this time he bought level 6 poison. He also took another bottle of level 5 poison.
Entering the poison bath, the pain was greater than the previous one, but Theo managed to endure with his willpower and started using the technique: Body of a thousand poisons.
The aura flow from Theo's body began to absorb the poison from inside the bathtub. His face, initially pale from drinking poison, was gaining a sickly color. Theo's aura was also undergoing changes, from blue it gradually changed to light green, and it became darker and denser.

The poison he drank lost its effect. Theo floated another vial over to himself with his mental power, and this time from level 6 he took it. After doing so, he closed his eyes again.
Theo's aura was becoming like smoke in the shapes of green snakes stirring towards the sky. Theo had his eyes closed while feeling his spiritual mana fight against the poison, while the technique he had used absorbed and made the poison become part of him. It was strange, but at the same time, it helped in having a greater understanding of poisons.
Now, even using level 1 to 5 poison was not a problem for him.

A calculation error occurred.
When Theo's clone was mostly taking care of Little Emma and Little Yui, he thought it best for their training to undo the illusions.
Because of this, all the cultivators at the site saw that on the dot panel which was on the holographic screen at the top, above the door where the ants were coming out, it showed that Little Yui and Little Emma were the ones that had the most dots between them.
Little Yui could use illusions strong enough on her own, but believing that this was her father's test, she encouraged herself and was alert if any of these cultivators would dare attack her or Little Emma.
Little Emma also noticed this; she noticed the strange and malicious looks of some of the cultivators.
”Theo, why did you do that?” Aomi asked. She was not overly concerned, but she knew how protective Theo was, so she believed that he would not do something that could harm his daughters.
”It is not good to continue as they were,” Theo said nonchalantly, ”If they continue to fight only with monsters, they will not know how to defend themselves against cultivators. Little Yui and Little Emma need to learn how to defend themselves against all categories of opponents. Also, haven't you noticed? The monster ants are decreasing, which means that it is about to end the first level of the test and will soon increase the difficulty. I am doing this to give the opportunity for the two to defeat some cultivators and decrease the competition as well as also help to improve them.”
Theo said this all in a single breath. He looked the same as always, but a little different. Perhaps because he was a clone, he not only got half of Theo's original power, but his parental and protective instincts, among his other instincts, were also only half. Which meant he remained cautious and protective, but not on the same level as before.
Now he was even willing to let his daughters get hurt a little to help them both get stronger.
Aomi analyzed the situation and thought about it quietly to herself. She also came to the same understanding as Theo's clone. She had come from a planet in constant war and death; she also found it important to know how to fight all kinds of living things, whether they were human or not.
