Chapter 8 Cultivation Technique
[Newbie Pack, do you want to open it?]
[Yes]-[No]
Theo: "AAAHHHH! Are you serious?! Why didn't you tell me before? I can imagine someone speaking: "Hmph! You never asked!!"
Theo: "HAHAHAHA! Well, it does not really matter now! The important thing now is that it's there!" He said happily, taking deep breaths to calm down.
Once he calmed down, Theo picked [Yes] and accepted it.
[Opening Beginner Package...]
[Congratulations! You've won: Cultivation Technique <Primordial Darkness Ray>]
[You have learned the Cultivation Technique <Primordial Darkness Ray>]
Information about the cultivation technique started appearing in his mind.
<Primordial Darkness Ray>: A Cultivation Technique that fuses [Darkness] and [Lightning].
<Primordial Darkness>: Makes the mana as thick and dense as [Lightning], and as corrosive and sticky as [Darkness].
Theo: "Wow... if only I had this since the beginning..." Theo wondered how easy it would have been for him to rise... " Well, there is no use thinking about it now... " He thought happily.
Theo: "I want to test it right now, but I think I'd better find a quieter place to do that." He thought excitedly.

After calming down a bit, Theo recalled that, because of his current size, he could no longer stay in the [Den] since he got bigger after advancing in cultivation. He then begins to walk along the edge of the forest to find a [Cave] so he can make it into his new home.
After walking for a while through the forest, Theo finally found a [Cave]. However, there was a (Black Bear) inside. Looking at his information, Theo saw that this (Black Bear) was in the 3rd Tier of the Apprentice Kingdom. Seeing that his cultivation was not very high, Theo decided to kill him and live in this cave.
Going towards the (Black Bear), Theo began to run using <Beast's Movement>. When the (Black Bear) noticed Theo, he roared ferociously, trying to threaten him by saying that this was his territory. Of course, Theo didn't care and kept going towards him. Seeing that Theo kept heading towards him, the (Black Bear) got angrier and started running to Theo with his 4 limbs.
His speed was very slow compared to that of Theo, who used <Beast's Movement>. To Theo, he seemed to be moving to him almost in slow motion. Then, when the (Black Bear) arrived in front of Theo, he tried to attack. Theo dodged very easily and soon after, Theo concentrated a little bit of mana, converting it to [Lightning] and then jumping towards the (Black Bear) while using <Sharp Claws>.
"POWW"
Theo's attack hit the (Black Bear)'s chest, blood began to flow from his chest, he also vomited some blood and was thrown against the [Cave]'s wall, colliding with it and making the [Cave] shake a bit with the impact.
Theo, seeing that the (Black Bear) was half dead, went in front of him and did a final attack on his head, killing him. Then he used <Devour> on (Black Bear).
[Obtained: 40 System Points]
After that, Theo went to the end of the cave and began to use the cultivation technique <Primordial Darkness Ray>. When Theo began to use the technique, mana began to enter his body and form into [Lightning] and [Darkness] and began to go to his body's center of gravity, where his [Magic Core] is.
Getting close to his [Magic Core], the mana that turned into [Lightning] and [Darkness] began to form a small vortex around it, entering it little by little.
Theo used the cultivation technique <Primordial Darkness Ray> until he received some nice news.
[Congratulations! You have reached the 5th Tier of the Apprentice Kingdom]
Theo: "Hahaha! T-That was quick! And to think it would only take a few hours to rise to the 5th Tier of the Apprentice Kingdom." He thought in his mind very happy.
"It seems like I haven't really tried to find out about this [System] completely." Theo thought.
Theo then started to see if there were any other functions in the [System]. After searching to see if he had [Inventory], [Appraisal], [Watch], etc... and even many other attempts, unfortunately, nothing worked.
Even though Theo could not find any other function in the [System], Theo was already very happy with having it.
Getting sleepy, Theo went to sleep.
Next morning...
Theo: "Stop rubbing me, I am still sleepy!" Remembering that he was in the [Cave] in which he killed the (Black Bear), Theo was startled when he realized that someone was rubbing him, but the moment he opened his eyes Theo saw that it was the (Red fox).
Theo: "Oh, how did she find me here? Now that my current appearance is no longer the same. So how did she recognize me?" While Theo was lost in his thoughts about (Red fox) having found him. The (Red fox) seemed very happy to see Theo wake up. Theo realized this by seeing the speed of her tail wagging from one side to the other. Then she went to him and began to rub her face into Theo's chest, grinning happily.
Theo: "For me, it is really a mystery how she found me and recognized me, but since she's so attached to me, I'll help her get stronger!" Theo decided this and opened the [System Store], seeing that he had 203 [System Points], he decided to buy the basic [Metal Pill]. It helped to strengthen 15% of the body's bones and the basic [Earth Pill] that helped to strengthen 15% of the organs in the body.
Seeing the 2 bottles appear in front of him, Theo opened them and signalled toward the [Earth Pill] for her to swallow.
(Red fox): "???"
However, the (Red fox) stared at him without understanding why Theo did this. Then Theo went to the [Earth Pill], opened his mouth and almost picked up the pill, demonstrating to the (Red Fox) and hoping she would understand what she had to do.
The (Red fox) seemed to have understood what Theo meant and went to the bottle where the [Earth Pill] was and swallowed it.
(Red fox): "GRRR"
The moment she swallowed the pill, she began to grunt with pain due to her organs strengthening, a while after, the pill stops working.
Looking at her now, Theo noticed that she was able to rise to the 2nd Tier of the Apprentice Kingdom.
Theo: "These pills are really good... shame they are single use only." He thought with regret.
After the (Red fox) felt the effect passing away, she opened her eyes. Se looked at Theo with her eyes shining, just like the stars in the sky and headed towards him with her tail wagging non-stop and once again began to rub her face on his chest purring happily.
To Theo, she looked very cute acting like that!
After Theo saw that she calmed down, he signalled for her to ingest the [Metal Pill]. This time she understood what Theo meant, then she went to the pill and swallowed it.
(Red fox): "Grrr"
She started to feel pain once more, but this time she could handle it better.
After the effect passed away, she was very happy wagging her tail and running around him.
"Okay, now I only have 63 points left. I need to raise them, and it would also be better for (Red fox) to get used to her new strength. After I get more [System Points], I'll buy her the other pills." Theo murmured in his mind.
He then left the [Cave] and was welcomed by the Sun's rays.
Seeing that Theo left the [Cave], the (Red fox) followed Theo. "Hm, today I just want to get [System Points]. Fighting against those in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Tier of the Apprentice Kingdom, I see no problem in having her follow me." He thought.
After walking for a long time... Theo managed to kill everything that got in his way. Even the (Red Fox) fought against some who were in the 1st and 2nd Layer of the Apprentice Kingdom.
And thanks to Theo having arrived in the 5th Tier of the Apprentice Kingdom, the mana reserve in his [Magic Core] increased greatly, and now he was using more of his affinities when fighting. Thanks to this, he also improved his affinity control and was killing everyone with ease, making the (Red fox) look at him with admiration.
----------
After spending a few hours hunting in the woods, Theo noticed that the (Red fox) was already getting very tired, so he decided to stop hunting for the day.
Walking back to the [Cave], they arrived there after some time. "Hm, I got a total of 843 [System Points]. Now I have enough to buy some things to improve the (Red fox)'s cultivation." Theo thought.
You spent 210 points shopping:
Basic [Water Pill]: Cleans 15% of Body Impurities
Basic [Wood Pill] Increases 15% Stamina
Basic [Fire Pill] Refines 15% of the body
