Chapter 154: Progress (2/2)

”Alright, let's get on with the body cultivation. I will stay with you until the end to make sure nothing bad happens,” Wen Cheng said.

”Uh…” Alex wanted to complain some more, but reluctantly agreed. ”Alright, master.”

He called out Pearl and told him to cultivate. Within minutes, Pearl's fur was glowing bright gold, while Alex was gritting his teeth trying to not scream.

Wen Cheng looked at Alex in surprise. ”Wow, he isn't screaming at all. Did the mortal cleansing actually help him that much? Or is his body just that strong that he doesn't feel as much pain anymore?”

Alex was grunting the entire time, but he never outright screamed. Morning came by and before Wen Cheng could even ask Pearl to stop, Alex did it himself.

”Huh? You could think properly despite the pain?” Wen Cheng asked.

”The pain… it wasn't as horrible as last time. So, I could maintain some thoughts,” he said. Alex checked Pearl and realized he had gone up 2 realms. 'Is it the same for myself?' he wondered.

”Alright, go now.” Alex didn't go through mortal cleansing again, so he did not require any bath this time. Alex returned back to his room and decided to visit go sell some pills before visiting the library once more.

In such a way, a few more days went by. Every day started with Alex opening his eyes after the intense pain of body cultivation subsided. He would then go back to his house to log out for breakfast.

After his breakfast, he would visit the library for 3 hours, before logging out to go to his university classes. After school, he would return to visit the library once more for a few hours.

Afterward, he would go fight some disciples in the training fields. After reaching the top 100s, it was getting really hard to progress higher. Everyone in the top 100s was a genius when it came to cultivation or fighting. Unless he got better in either, he wouldn't make it far here.

The problem with this was that he was only focusing on body cultivation the last few days so he was forced to eat a few monster cores. Monster cores however started to create more and more fights in his head.

He could still fight the monsters quite easily, however, the monster spirits he had to fight seemed to be getting closer and closer in strength to their real self. With not having a spiritual sense or his body and having to only use Qi to fight, he was worried that sooner or later something bad would happen.

During the night, he would train with Wen Cheng. He had learned another fighting technique and defensive technique, both of which he liked very much because they used swords. He would practice these techniques and train with Pearl until Wen Cheng came back.

After Wen Cheng did, he would start to body cultivate once more. As such, by Friday, he had managed to reach the 3rd realm of Bone Tempering for Body Cultivation and 3rd Realm of Organ Tempering for Qi Cultivation.
