Chapter 447: Departure and the Growth of Spirit

Wena walked out of the magic hut carrying two cups of water and handed them to the two of them.

She glanced at that man.

His blood qi was abundant, and his spirit was vigorous.

A full five days had passed, and his energy had not slackened for a moment.

Was this still human?

Although Wena had never experienced such things, she understood the basic principles of the body.

At the very least, this man's vitality was absolutely unique on the entire continent.

"What are you looking at?"

Eve sensed her gaze, frowned coldly, and glared at her warningly.

The vertical pupils of the Naga's snake eyes startled Wena.

She felt like crying, took back the empty cup, turned around, and walked away weakly.

"Don't scare her."

Rod embraced Eve, lay back looking up at the sky, bent his knees, and pushed off the ground to exert force.

"Hmm, what's wrong? Do you feel sorry for her?"

"Jealous? Right now, isn't this me doting on you?"

"Heh, our relationship is purely physical; what is there to be jealous of?"

She let out a cold laugh.

Then she tightly embraced Rod's neck, pressing her chest against his, pressing tighter and tighter, even compressing through her own thick and soft fat.

It was as if she hoped to press closer to the man's heart.

The man's scent drilled into her nostrils, making her feel as if she were ascending to heaven and dying.

Damn man.

So many days had passed; she should have been numb long ago, but that damn 【Charming Fluid】 and 【Green Vine Mutual Healing】 kept taking effect, stimulating her while simultaneously repairing her.

While Eve outlined her War Soul with her spiritual sense, she hooked her powerful tongue around his ear and said:

"Sarlath really can't hold back his temper; he said he's coming over tonight to check. Mother won't spoil me and let me stay here any longer."

Eve would leave to show her face at the White Dragon Tomb's spell seal.

The excuse she gave her mother, Lillian, was that she was using the spell seal to enhance her spiritual accumulation.

Of course, at the beginning, Lillian did not believe it.

After all, no one had ever heard of such a thing.

However, after seeing that Eve's spiritual accumulation was indeed making leaps and bounds every day, she resolved to assist and prevent others from getting close.

Dealing with Sarlath also required her help.

Since someone was now coming to inspect the work progress.

It was naturally time to pack up and slip away.

"Let's go together; how about staying in Mirror Desert for a while? I'll show you around and help you construct your War Soul."

"Next time. There have been quite a few things happening in the Windwall Forest recently."

Hearing the refusal, Eve's face showed disappointment she could not hide.

Fortunately, amidst the embrace, he did not see such an expression.

Rod wanted to kiss her to comfort her, but she turned her head and dodged.

"Coral Bay again?"

When the demon Artu invaded Shi Ying Town, Eve happened to be there, so she knew a little about the situation.

"Mm, they summoned two great dragons, causing considerable pressure on the local situation."

"Two great dragons?"

Eve was surprised and instinctively worried about Rod's situation, but then remembered he had just refused her.

So she snorted coldly: "Don't ask me for help."

Then feeling her tone was too domineering and selfish, she softened it and hurriedly said: "I mean I can't call other clan members for help, but I will come; it's a fair trade between us."

"Are you coming or not?"

Rod smiled.

His hand moved to her lower back, rhythmically pressing and kneading gently up along her spine, vertebra by vertebra.

Eve felt the heat from that palm spread along her spine to all parts of her body, rising all the way up, scorching straight to the top of her brain.

Accompanied by the continuous movements below.

Her body was like electricity surging through it, and even the vertical pupils of her snake eyes trembled involuntarily.

Then she tensed up again.

"Annoying."

Rod gathered her thick long hair, which was stuck to both their bodies by sweat, kissed through the scent of her hair, and simultaneously infused 【Growth Spirit】.

【Growth Spirit used successfully】

【Eve obtained skill: War Soul Impact +1】

【Details: Growth Spirit enhanced the spiritual art Eve had already mastered; this skill... omitted】

【Eve obtained skill: Petrification Aura】

【Details: After activating this skill, enemies within a certain range have a chance to be petrified, and they take increased physical damage.】

【Eve obtained skill: War Soul Impact +2】

【Eve obtained skill: Sunlight Blessing】

【Details: When under the sun, strength, speed, and physique will be greatly enhanced; affinity with fire and light elements increases; bathing in sunlight will benefit the growth of spirituality.】

【Eve acquired skill: Radiant Scale Armor】

【Details: Activate the spiritual scale armor on the body to wrap the entire form, causing it to emit dazzling light, inflicting a brief blindness or dizziness effect on enemies who look directly at it.】

【Remaining Growth Spirituality: 7】

Eve's brows and eyes furrowed in pain.

She withdrew from Rod's oral gymnastics.

After a while, she looked at the man beneath her with a face full of surprise:

"Growth Spirituality?!"

"Not bad, right?"

"Didn't you say there was none?"

"How good am I? I'll squeeze it all out for you."

Eve's brows and eyes carried joy, her exquisite and beautiful face revealing a brilliant smile.

She grabbed Rod's head and began to gnaw on it frantically.

Rod poured all the remaining 57 points in at once, because she had not reached the Seventh Rank, and each enhancement only required 10 points.

He did not expect 【Battle Soul Impact】 to be directly upgraded to +2.

It seemed Eve had a fate with the Battle Soul; breaking through the Battle Soul system to the Seventh Rank was a sure thing.

【Eve's obedience to you +7, current obedience: 65】

【Obedience broke through 60】

【Shared Skill: Slash Burst】

【Details: A unique slashing technique developed by the Four-Armed Naga Eve; every swing of a weapon can deal an additional slash, applicable only to blades and swords, usable with spiritual arts, with a 60-second cooldown after use.】

Hmm?

At first glance, it feels useless.

Rod's 【Aethelorn's Flash】 has already reached the level of 【Twelve Flashes】; what's so impressive about dealing an additional slash with every swing?

But upon closer inspection.

The phrase "usable with spiritual arts" at the end is quite interesting.

If he uses it on 【Twelve Flashes】, wouldn't it directly become 【Twenty-Four Flashes】?

Rod's eyes lit up.

He felt it was very feasible.

Paul was extremely anxious.

Since returning to Axe Beach to report the Naga situation to my lord Virgil last time, it has already been the fifth day.

He had tried several times to enter the deepest part of the spell banishment to check, but was refused by the Naga each time, citing secret techniques.

This is understandable.

Indeed, many techniques on the continent are controlled by specific races.

The most famous are the promotion rituals for the two paths of legendary mages and domain mages of the Aethelorn Kingdom's humans.

There are even older ones, namely the traditional forest ascension rituals of the elves.

These are all listed as top secrets and absolutely cannot be exposed.

As a person designated by my lord Virgil with a promising future, Paul could not tolerate having no progress to report for five days.

Even though he sent letters back to Axe Beach via animal messengers every day, claiming the situation was good.

Sometimes he even forged some Naga ritual progress to demonstrate that he had the entire supervision under control.

But he can't do that anymore!

This evening, my lord Virgil will come personally to inspect!

Before that, I, Paul, must sneak in to take a look! To ensure I think of an excuse in advance!
