Chapter 1131 Growth

-----

I don't know why it hurt so much. I've even had my body torn to shreds and my soul shattered, which both hurt a lot. Yet this pain was really something else! It was as if every inch of my blood was slowly drying out and dying. And I had to bear with it while absorbing the components of the Metal Attribute Mana.

As I chatted with Aquarina, I continued doing this process bit by bit... The progress? Quite disappointing. Really, it increased so little after an hour of cultivating that I felt utterly betrayed.

[Current Blood Refinement Process: 0.1% -> 0.2%]

"Ugh, this can't be fair..." I cried. Aquarina only laughed at my misfortune. Such a sadistic girlfriend!

"Hahaha, well, you can't just possibly ask to get such powerful blood out of nowhere, Sylphy!" Laughed Aquarina. "Just slowly get to it. We've got our whole lives ahead. No need to get the power right away. You've grown plenty strong already!"

"I know, but it never hurts to get a bit stronger." I sighed, resting my head on her thighs. "Oh right, I got a few other goodies I should take!"

I quickly took out several dozens of bottles of Skill Proficiency Elixirs and started chugging them down one after another without hesitating, making Aquarina gasp. I secretly hoped they could help my Blood Skill Level Up, after all, it still used Skill Proficiency!

Aquarina looked in terror as I drank fifty bottles of potion in time record. My belly was all big after that, but my metabolism was very quick, easily digesting and absorbing it all. I felt a rush of power surge across my body as several skills started leveling.

Ding!

[You have drink [Divine Skill Proficiency Potion (A Grade)] x20 and [Divine Skill Proficiency Potion (S Grade)] x30!]

[You have earned a 411.000 Skill Proficiency, which has been distributed randomly across your many Skills!]

[The [Yggdrasil's Spirit Armor: Lv1] Skill has gained 2 Levels!]

[The [Hero Seed: Lv4] [Divine Protection: Lv4] Skills have gained 1 Level!]

[The [Steady Fighter: Lv9] Skill has gained 1 Level; it has reached Max Level!]

[You have consumed [Hegenemeia Otherworldly Golden Essence Elixir (S Grade)] x5!]

[You have absorbed a large quantity of Spiritual Essence and Golden Energy into your body, soul, magic circle, and spiritual heart.]

[The Essences are being automatically refined across your body. Your Spiritual Heart is absorbing most of this rich energy, finally breaking through!]

[Your [Spiritual Heart]: [Tier 1: Rank 10: Rainbow Spirit Heart] has Ranked Up to Tier 2: Rank 1!]

[Your Spiritual Heart has become larger, stronger, and overflowing with Spiritual Energy it now produces automatically over time.]

Crack, crack...!

CRASH!

It felt like my own Spiritual heart shattered, extremely painful, but at the same time, very relieving. Once it shattered, a new Spiritual Heart appeared below the other, much more refined, much shinier, and above all, with even more Spiritual Energy for me to play around with!

"I can feel it... So much Spiritual Energy!" I said, my fingers moving as rainbow and green colored energy moved around seamlessly.

"You got stronger!" Aquarina said again. "What was that potion though? Can't I have some?"

"I drank it all, sorry.. And it's better if I am the only one with the guilt of what I just drank." I laughed it off. "Anyways, shall we go make lunch? I'm starving here!"

"Sure!" She nodded, happily following me. Our friends slowly joined us, as we all started talking, cooking, and then eating.

Sphynxiette and her people rested through the rest of the day and didn't interact anymore after my mother reprimanded them a lot for trying to act tough. Meanwhile, as I enjoyed the day, I also continued absorbing the Metal Attribute Mana out of Mithril as much as I could.

I was slowly progressing further, finally reaching 1% of Blood Refinement once the next morning arrived. It took so long! But well, it wasn't too slow either.

Though, this is the easiest step. I can't imagine what's next...
