1817 The Betrothal Finale (1/2)
Chen Xiaobei inhaled the leftover Heaven and Earth Spiritual Aura from the furnace into his Dantian.
Ding!
[Cultivation: Early phase of God-Ascension cultivation; Lifespan: 10,100 years; Health: 1,096,000; Combat power: 700,000]
\”Sweet!\” Chen Xiaobei was exultant. \”That's 32,000 increase in both my combat power and health! That's even better than eating a 9,000-year-old Saturn Peach!\”
Even with the boost of Heavenly Path's reward, a 9,000-year-old Saturn Peach can only add 18,000 to his health and combat power each; and here was this surplus of Spiritual Aura instantaneously increasing to nearly double that.
He did not even need to cultivate at all.
When he finally calmed down from his excitement, Chen Xiaobei came to a decision, \”I've used up all the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Aura. I need to earn more Spiritual Stones and accumulate more wealth so that I can do this more often! Of course, I still have the 800 Earth Crystal Essence which is a Two-star Earth-God material Monkey King gave me! But this material's Special Ability is very extraordinary – it contains unlimited life force! I might have use of it in the future like the Living Soil. For now, I shouldn't refine it. I should just save it for a rainy day!\”
...
Nearly a day had passed by the time Chen Xiaobei settled his affairs.
There were only three days to the submission day of Saint Duke's final betrothal contest!
Chen Xiaobei decided to spend one day with his parents, Bei Xuan faction friends, disciples and familiarizing himself with the new surroundings.
After that, he left for Saint Duke starfield. To avoid any delay in time, he decided to use the portals.
He arrived in the capital city on the evening of the second day.
Chen Xiaobei freshened up and then spent 20 hours of the third day cultivating.
Because he had no more Demonic Beast Essence, he had to resort to using Spiritual Qi.
That would mean 20 hours, or 2 billion low-grade Spiritual Stones (which was the same as 20 high-grade Spiritual Stones).
This time, Chen XIaobei focused on refining his health. With the added boost of the Heavenly Path's reward, it earned him an increase of 4,000.
Ding!
[Cultivation: Early phase of God-Ascension cultivation; Lifespan: 10,100 years; Health: 1,100,000; Combat power: 700,000]
\”After such a long wait, it's finally the day I get to see Puti again!\”
At first light, Chen Xiabei was already making preparations. He cleaned himself up and changed into his upgraded Nightstalker Outfit.
From head to toe, Chen Xiaobei looked dashing dressed in black.
His good looks turned heads as he walked the streets, especially those of younger girls. They appeared to be bedazzled like crazy fangirls.
...
Eighth Wangye and Luo Shanhe were waiting at the entrance as Chen Xiaobei arrived at the Saint Duke royal palace.
Chen Xiaobei had performed exceptionally well in the first two contests. It would not be right for the Saint Duke royalty to disregard Chen Xiaobei.
\”Childe Chen! Please, come in!\” Luo Shanhe's tone was polite but his eyes were cautious.
\”How many contenders do I have today?\” Chen Xiaobei asked, giving the place quick sweep.
He could see that the number of guards in the palace had tripled; each of them clad in heavy armor and fully armed to the teeth. All of them were in their battle stance!
