BXBX NOVEL Chapter 111 - Preparations Before the Investigation
Chapter 111: Preparations Before the Investigation
Everyone soon realized that they were all naked, their clothes torn to shreds by the wild Fike.
Lan Xi immediately took the opportunity to perform her duties as an eldest sister.
She took out several of her clothes from her own wardrobe and passed them out to everyone.
The girls expressed their gratitude as they received Lan Xi’s clothes.
“Thank you!”
Lan Xi responded kindly, “Ah, you’re welcome. We’re all family now, we shouldn’t be divisive anymore!”
After everyone had changed into their new clothes, their focus shifted to the still naked Fike.
They couldn’t help but snicker.
Fike quickly reached out to cover his private parts in shame.
Molly teased him with a sly smile.
“No need to cover it, we’ve already seen everything there is to see!”
The others burst into laughter as they heard her witty remark.
Lan Xi leaned closer to Fike’s ear, purposely pressing against his body as she whispered.
“Darling, I’ll head to the storeroom right now and find you some appropriate clothes. Wait for me!”
Lan Xi turned around and walked towards the door. As she pushed the door open, she couldn’t resist turning back to throw another flirtatious glance at Fike.
Fike could only look at the charming hostess bashfully.
After Lan Xi had left, everyone started to discuss their plans going forward.
Fike was the first to speak.
“Why don’t we maintain the current situation for now? What do you guys think about continuing with going to school or working?”
Hearing Fike’s words, they were prompted into a small argument.
Not long after, Lan Xi returned with the clothes.
After handing them over to Fike, she joined in the conversation.
“If we maintain the status quo, then how should we resolve the issue of dividing nights in the future?”
Lan Xi said as she deliberately stuck to Fike, who was struggling to put on his clothes.
Fike’s face flushed again after hearing her words.
In the end, it was unanimously decided that when everyone had the time, they would all come back to the Romon Auction to party again.
This result was obviously not something within Fike’s control.
He helplessly shook his head.
“The food is already cold, let’s just eat first!”
…
After their pleasant afternoon at the Romon Auction, Fike, Sertia, and Molly returned to Yogmo Academy.
They had agreed previously that they would not disturb Fike during his training time in this period, as he would be joining some of the Yogmo Academy’s professors next week on an expedition to investigate Extoic Beasts.
After returning to school, Fike had received special permission to skip attending classes for a while.
This was to allow him to concentrate on his own cultivation during school hours.
During this period of time, no one came to disturb him. As such, the speed of his cultivation grew exponentially.
Fike received notice two days later that he would be following the professors of the Spell School to the Imperial Capital of Rowei.
After spending some time there, he would be able to go through the Leno desert before finally arriving at the Exotic Beast Tower.
When he heard the news, he immediately boosted his cultivation speed.
“Exotic Beast Tower? I wonder if I’ll meet Hankov.”
…
The night before he set off for the investigation, Fike sat quietly in his room.
He was currently cultivating the final level of the first stage of the Primordial Power.
If he succeeded this time, Fike would have completed one-eighth of the total cultivation of Primordial Power.
Fike closed his eyes. Laying on the ground before him was the cultivation book, turned to the page detailing the last step for achieving the first stage.
“After attaining the Divine Body, you may look down upon the entire world of Miracle, and even cast your eyes to the divine realm above.”
Fike repeated what he had read lightly.
He pressed his palms together as a surge of True Qi began to swirl around his body.
Feeling the swelling momentum of the pure energy, he immediately began casting a spell, fusing the True Qi into his entire body.
Suddenly, it was as if he was cultivating the first level of the first stage again.
Fike’s body gradually began to heat up, becoming unbearably hot.
This burning once again felt like it was coming from the inside out, making Fike feel very uncomfortable indeed.
Nevertheless, he had to press on.
In order not to suppress the flames in his body, preventing them from spreading to the entire room again, Fike could only forcefully grit his teeth and resist the scalding temperatures that continued to rise.
The flames slowly spread from his lower abdomen up to the rest of the organs in his body.
Fike found himself eventually unable to hold on any longer.
In order to give himself the motivation to continue, Fike separated his palms, summoning a powerful air current to strike his body with a heavy impact.
This self-harm helped him regain some of his consciousness.
Although he was in great pain, he could clearly feel that he was just about to complete the cultivation of the Divine Body.
Tightening his control over the True Qi once more, he exerted all his strength and pushed it up, spreading it throughout his whole body.
Fike felt like his bone marrows were about to be roasted.
His head was in intense agony as he gritted his teeth and tried hard not to scream.
Finally, after the torment, a bolt of golden lightning seemingly emitting holy light started gathering above Fike’s head.
The churning of the forming storm looked much more terrifying than the previous one.
Fike could also feel his hairs standing in anticipation of the lightning’s strike.
His neck muscles clenched as he shouted at the sky.
“Come on then! Come down!”
As soon as he said it, the golden bolt struck him down abruptly.
However, unlike before, the electric current from the lightning traveled back and forth within his body for a long time instead of dissipating immediately.
A strange atmosphere spread throughout the room as Fike felt his scalp go numb.
His body had already been rendered useless by the strike, and he collapsed on the ground, twitching.
Even as his fists were stuck clenched, he could still feel the electric currents running from his body to his fingertips to his palm and back.
“I… can… hold on!”
Fike stammered stubbornly.
Finally, the electric current came to a complete stop. No longer pulsating, it stayed obediently within Fike’s body.
This was to be expected. After all, how could a cultivation technique created for gods be so simple?
A mortal’s body attempting to cultivate the Primordial Power would undoubtedly have to pay a high and painful price.
Fike slowly and carefully stripped off the clothes on his upper body.
He went in front of the mirror to find that the lightning tattoo on his left shoulder had changed from one bolt to three.
“It seems that my cultivation of the Divine Body has succeeded!”
At this time, a notification came from the hidden message.
[Hidden Information: Congratulations, you have successfully cultivated the first stage of the Primordial Power, Divine Body. A person who has successfully cultivated the Divine Body cannot see their physical body destroyed without the power of a god. The strength of the Divine Body lies in unlimited physical strength and power, as well as its unlimited toughness. Lightning cannot pierce through it, fire cannot burn it, and water cannot drown it.]
Fike smiled as he read this.
“It looks like the odds of success for this trip have increased quite a bit!”
