Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 849 - Cultivating

Emery sat in the lotus position and he was ready to start his cultivation. However, just as he was about to start, a sudden piece of information was sent to his privilege bracelets, alerting him that he had just received a notification.

[You have been challenged to a duel]

During his time in his cave, he had become so absorbed with the little project he was working on. It was undeniable that his attention had been drawn so totally to the plants that he had completely forgotten all about the privilege challenge.

As soon as he received the notification, Emery took a moment and swift his attention to check the details and saw the information to see who was the one that challenged him.

[Bradley Raven]

[Privilege Ranking - Rank 25]

[Test Ranking - Rank 18]

Just like him, it appeared that the man wished to aim for the top 20 ranks just before the end of the month in order to qualify for the extra reward. This Bradley had a test ranking that allowed him to challenge Emery who was currently at rank 20.

The truth was, Emery had no desire to engage in a fight with the man. He wouldn't be interested even if it was one of the top 10 acolytes who was challenging him. At least not for the time being, as his top priority at the moment was to break through his realm.

At the end of the month, The top 10 participants will receive 35 pills while the top 20 will receive 30 pills. Despite the fact that the 5 pills difference was valuable, it did not motivate him enough to bother his 2 weeks of preparation before the mid-test period began.

The one who was challenging him at the moment was a rank 25, and if he accepted the duel invitation, it was most likely just a waste of his time. Nonetheless, if he rejected it, that would mean the man would take his current position and he would drop to rank 21. In any case, it was something that Emery didn't wish to happen as well.

Consequently, Emery thought about looking up for more detailed information about his challenger since he had considered accepting the invitation.

[Mental Score 10620 - Rank 15]

[Physical Score 9510 - Rank 28]

According to the information he had just seen, this man named Bradley had a mental score rank that was 2 levels higher than his own, but when it came to physical score, Emery's level was still much ahead of him.

Although the man had a higher mental score, He believed he could defeat the man with his [Twilight Transformation] that he had not yet shown during the test.

Emery heaved a sigh, the challenge seem troublesome but this could still be good practice for him.

After much deliberation, Emery decided to do the smart way to accept the duel invitation and schedule the duel for a maximum of 7 days. He thought that it would be a win-win solution since this would give him enough time to practice and would also stop him from being challenged by anyone else for the next 7 days.

It seemed to be a good plan. Right after, he sent the reply to the man and fortunately, he agreed to it instantly. Following that, he then received a piece of notification.

[Your duel with Bradley Raven will be held in 7 days]

Now that he had the matter decided, Emery took out a wooden box that contained a total of 45 [Spirit Foundation Pills] that he had just received from the academy.

He put the box on the side and started the training by using his [Nature Grasp]. The next moment, he starts to absorb the spirit energy from around the place and starts his cultivation training.

To his surprise, the spirit cave had a much higher spirit density than the Gaia shire. It amazed him that it was almost close to the Origin Stone room in the academy. Now he understood what really was the benefit of being a privileged acolyte, It's like gaining unlimited access to the stone origin room.

Within the second, spirit energy started flowing into him abundantly. Emery couldn't tell if it was because of the place or his rank A skill [Nature Grasp], but he could tell and feel an amazing rush of spirit energy entering his body as soon as he used the skill.

It took him a few seconds until his body became adjusted to it, and as soon as he had managed to get used to the flow of it, he took the first spirit foundation pill and his body once again exploded with powerful spirit force.

Even though it was quite a punch to his spirit core, in fact, it felt as if he was only able to knock on the door without being able to actually open it just yet.

After a few hours, the first pill effect had been fully absorbed, but still, there was no sign of result shown. Hence, he took the second pill, and as expected still had not much effect. Eventually, he had to take the third one a few hours later.

One day has passed and Emery still hasn't managed to achieve the result he desired. By this time, he already consumed seven of the spirit foundation pills. Still, the energy given only made multiple knocks to both of his spirit cores.

Three days had passed with a total of 20 spirit foundation pills consumed. With this number of pills, strangely it only managed to warm up both of his cores. At this moment, Emery had already started to sweat vigorously.

Day after day, and it was already the fifth day with 35 pills having already been absorbed. This time, Emery actually already started to think that he did this wrongly. However, both of his spirit cores had already heated up like a balloon ready to explode.

Same day, same story. It was already seven days since Emery began the process and by this time, he had no more spirit foundation pills to consume, yet still, there was no significant change happening to him.

In a way, he was relieved as if he still had more pills, he would definitely consume them, and considering the condition of his spirit core at the moment, he might not be able to hold it. He was better off taking it slowly by now. He feels that any slight turbulence would endanger him.

The fact that Emery was so engaged in his training, and once again he didn't realize it was already time. it had been seven days since he had accepted the duel invitation and a notification came from his bracelet.

[Your duel will start in one hour]
