YM778.TV Chapter 15
“Brother, you seem to have grown taller recently.”
Jack responded casually, “I know, it’s probably because of my Cultivation.”
The Hexagonal Power Lycophyte had evolved, augmenting his physique by 3 points. During this period, he was practicing the Body Casting Skill to enhance Qi blood and strengthen his body, raising his physique by nearly 2 points.
In such a scenario, not only did Jack’s height increased from 1.7 meters to 1.73 meters, his originally thin figure became more muscular, upright and tall.
Even his pale face had more color on it, making him more handsome and healthy.
“Does cultivation help to grow taller? What a pity, I’m only thirteen years old and can’t start cultivating yet.” Glenn sounded a bit envious, and then pointed at the bun shop.
“Bro, I’m still a bit hungry, I want to eat two buns.”
Jack looked at him strangely, “Why don’t you buy some?”
“Hehe, I’m out of money.”
Jack frowned, “Didn’t I just give you living expenses on Monday?”
“…Well, I recently have a big appetite, I’ve finished all the money.” Glenn’s eyes dodged, somewhat uncomfortable looking at Jack.
“Is it?” Jack expressed doubts.
Since meals are taken care of in the school cafeteria at noon, Jack gives Glenn living expenses every week, and besides, there’s some pocket money each day.
Although it is not much, it should be enough for his expenses.action
As for Jack himself, sorry, but he is in charge of managing household affairs; the household expenses every month lie in his hands. After school, he is responsible for buying groceries and cooking meals.
However, he had been keeping an Avatar recently, so the food at home was slightly worse.
Could it be because of that?
After thinking for a moment, Jack took out a hundred from his pocket and gave it to him, saying somewhat annoyed, “Here, take it. And next time, tell me early when you run out of money.”
The purchasing power of money in this world is similar to the Earth where Jack lived in his previous life. A bowl of noodles cost about ten bucks. Today was Wednesday. A hundred would be enough for Glenn for the next few days.
Initially, Jack planned to give him fifty, but seeing Glenn’s tall and mighty figure at just thirteen years old, he felt fifty would not be enough for his appetite.
“Thank you, brother.”
Glenn cheerfully took the money, bought two big buns, and finished them in a few bites.
When the two reached the street corner, a few girls wearing middle-school uniforms walked over from the other side and waved to Glenn after seeing him.
“Glenn, hurry up.”
“Wait for me, Brother, I’m leaving first.”
“Go.”
Glenn left with a smile.
“Glenn, is that your brother?”
“Yeah.”
“Glenn, your brother is really handsome.”
“Of course, my brother is the most handsome, and his academic performance is excellent. He was the top student in our grade and got admitted into South Sky Martial Height, and he’s now cultivating True Martial.”
“Wow, your brother is so awesome.”
Hearing the conversation coming from a distance, Jack shook his head.
……
When he arrived in the class, Jack scanned the classroom and did not find Freya Louise. It appeared she had made a breakthrough to ten turns and had gone to the teacher for foundation establishment.
The classroom, with one lesser student, felt increasingly empty. This feeling made most students more anxious, and their minds wandered during the morning’s cultural class.
Half a month ago, everyone was still a smooth-sailing freshman, chattering and joking around.
But only after ten or so days, as more people left to establish their foundation, the class of dozens of students was divided into different tiers. There was a sense that those who broke through later were worse off.
So, during the afternoon Cultivation class, everyone, even without anyone maintaining discipline, practiced with exceptional intensity.
But many times, the more effort they put in, the more desperate they become.
Because they realized they seemed to be incapable.
Accompanied by the school bell, the lights of Essence Blood Stone were turned off, and everyone in the Cultivation Classroom slowly ended their practice, with the majority looking exhausted.
“Woohoo! I can barely move to the fifth stage even till now…” A female student couldn’t bear the silent pressure and broke into tears.
Apart from her, there were also other students with faces of unwillingness and bitterness.
They had been practicing for half a month, and could only continuously reach the sixth stage in Qi blood transportation. They could only reach the fourth stage at the fastest in half an hour.
In this case, they could hardly complete half an hour to ten turns within a month. Even if they barely established their foundation later, it would also mean they didn’t have much Cultivation Talent.
Jack saw all this, but didn’t think much of it. After resting a little, he packed up and prepared to go home.
If they didn’t have Cultivation Talent, then they didn’t have it. There was no need to insist. There were other fields in this world where one could make their mark too.
Of course, regardless of the world, power is privileged. Being able to cultivate True Martial Arts and becoming strong without relying on external forces is naturally better.
Under normal conditions, Jack would be among these people. With a weak physique, even with a pretty good Mental Talent, he would not be able to cultivate martial arts.
Just the physique aspect was a limit to him.
In his faint sentimentality, Jack, with his shoulder bag, walked out of the school at a relaxed pace.
Night!
In the room, Jack practiced the Body Casting Skill, which was like a fusion of Tai Chi and ancient yoga, his form reminiscent of a dragon.
He constantly switched among the eighteen positions, moving smoothly and naturally, which was completely different from his initial clumsiness, having become almost instinctual after practicing more than two hundred times.
At the same time, the Qi blood within his body, which was several times thicker than before, was slowly fortifying his body, emitting an astonishing amount of heat, just like a furnace.
Whoosh!
All of a sudden, Jack halted and took a deep breath, a surge of burning hot air rushed out for half a meter before dissipating.
“Finally, I have reached half an hour to ten turns.” Jack had a smile on his face. At this moment, he only felt his whole body’s Qi Blood flowing smoothly, his Blood Qi steaming, and he didn’t feel the usual fatigue.
After nearly a half month of continuous hard-practice, he finally made a breakthrough, and moreover forced to break through the talent limit, even Jack was filled with a sense of accomplishment at this time.
On the desk, the fifty cm long, arm-thick Hexagonal Power Lycophyte also had a satisfied look on its face.
After a moment’s rest, Jack moved his realm of thought, calling out the attribute page.
Physique: 12
Strength: 11
Agility: 10
Spirit: 15
Talent: Soul Split
Cultivation Methods: First-grade Lotus Platform Meditation Method [progress 100/100], Body Casting Skill [100/100]
Avatar: Hexagonal Power Lycophyte…
Evolution value: 25/50
Both basic methods have each increased his physique and spiritual attributes by 2 points, and the increased physique has also improved his strength attribute by 1 point.
At this time, his overall attributes were 20 percent higher than ordinary people, and his spirit was 5 points higher than an average person.
The result was that his thinking and consciousness were much faster than before when he was pondering things recently.
At the same time, the growth of his Avatar has been steady during this period, resulting in eating much more.
But this level of consumption was still bearable.
Jack put away the attribute page, a hint of expectation on his face: “I hope I won’t be disappointed with the foundation establishment tomorrow.”
The preliminary practice before the foundation establishment was so laborious and difficult. If the changes after establishing the foundation tomorrow were too poor, it would not be worthy of his efforts during this period.
