371 GROWTH

As soon as Angus and Jayna leave King Leon's working room, "Pardon me, sir. Is this alright?" asked the old butler Darius.

"As much as I don't want to acknowledge their relationship, there is nothing I can't do about it. Ancient Power is mysterious and could lead to a disaster if not used without precaution."

"Since now they are connected one with the others through ancient power, it will be foolish to separate both of them. We don't know what kind of disaster will be coming to our nation if we try to separate them. Moreover, Jayna also has that Phoenix Power."

"Tell me, Darius. What do you know about Phoenix?" asked King Leon.

"A powerful mythical beast in the shape of a bird and wielding powerful fire. Some legends said they are immortal and cannot be killed." said Darius.

"If it is only that, I don't really care. Although Fire Phoenix is immortal, they still could be defeated. But there is one more legend about Phoenix. This legend is not truly famous around this area, but in some places, Phoenix is hailed as the mother of the Beast." said King Leon.

"Mother of the Beast??!" said Darius.

"Last year, Jayna told me that with the help of her ancient power, she somehow managed to command a few weak monsters. According to the one that gives her ancient power, her power may allow commanding over monsters and beasts."

"Combined with the legend about phoenix being the mother of the beast, I am sure she will be able to master her ancient power soon. I am not sure if the legend is true or false. But, I don't want to gamble with our nation to find out about it." explained King Leon.

"Besides, as long as Jayna is not bearing a child, it will be alright." added King Leon.

"I understand, my king. However, is it alright to let them go towards Sunset City?" said Darius.

"Darius, I never plan to always cage and protect them. They are the future pillar of this nation. I believe they may be able to become a powerful seventh-grade combatant in the future. But, before reaching that level, they need a lot of experience and see a lot of things." said King Leon.

The following day, Angus, Jayna, Anna, and a few royal guards arrive at the royal palace teleportation room. The distance between the capital city and Sunset City is very quite far. Fortunately, Angus and the others get permission to use the teleportation device to save time.

While waiting for the expert to set up the teleportation device, Angus decides to check his status panel as he has nothing to do at the moment.

Host: Angus Victory

Age: 18 Years Old

MP: 658/658

Chi: 324

Heritage chi: ???

Strength: 55

Dexterity: 54

Intelligence: 53

Vitality: 54

Soul Point: 365.482

Soul Reserve: 793

Looking at his status panel, Angus immediately focuses on his current chi. During these past months, Angus didn't forget to cultivate his chi in his free time. However, just by using Domain a few times during the battle with King Leon, he finds his chi is consumed a lot.

Even though his current chi is not small, it is not big either. Before fighting with King Leon, his chi reaches almost four hundred points. After the battle, he only left with less than half of it.

Although he focused on recovering his chi these past few days, he still couldn't reach the four hundred mark. However, he feels this is normal. The domain is the pinnacle and ultimate technique in his past life. In the past, he rarely used domain in his fights.

Unless he encounters another domain practitioner, he will not use the domain to defeat his opponent. The reason is that the domain technique consumes too much chi. Chi is cultivated from the life force and requires a lot of time.

Unless it is a truly desperate situation where the practitioner knows they will absolutely die, they will not use the domain in the fight. Unlike Angus, who has heritage chi, ordinary people couldn't cultivate their chi easily.

The moment they consume all their chi, not only will their body be weakened, but they also could die. In some way, the domain technique could be said as a suicide technique.

Because of this, every time he fights against a domain practitioner in the past, he will enter a life and death situation.

Angus even feels that he is pretty lucky in all those fights since all of the domain practitioners he fought had more experience in using domain than him. If it is not because of his absurd talent in learning and his bizarre domain effect, he may have already died a long time ago.

After checking his chi, he looks at his stats. Currently, he is increasing his stats by one each month so his body can easily adapt to the change. Still, he is surprised at how much he consumed during all these past months.

He needs to consume at least ten thousand points to increase his attributes by one. Moreover, this consumption will still increase as his stats keep growing. After reaching 55 marks, he needs 5120 soul points to increase one stat.

Angus feels his enormous soul points will be consumed in no time. Even though his current automatic battle gives him around 40 soul points per day. He still feels it is lacking compared to his enormous consumption.

However, he feels this is normal since he knows he will never achieve his current power at his age without the help of the system. The reason why Angus could fight with the people far above his grade is not only because of his skill but this insanely high attribute.

After years of increasing his stats, Angus realized that the system was actually increasing his primary and fundamental power. If this primary power is used alone, he will never be able to compete with the others.

But after combined with the skills, mana, weapon, and any other aspect, his power becomes multiple times more potent. For example, Angus's current strength is 55 points. After combining the skills, mana, technique, weapons, etc., it may be able to reach more than hundreds.

Therefore, each increase in Angus's stats is very significant. Currently, his primary power is almost the same as those people who keep practicing for dozens of years.

On the contrary, his soul reserve is not increasing much since he can no longer easily kill high-grade monsters/people inside the capital city. The only way to improve it is by using the system's manual battle, which he rarely used in these past months.

After a moment of checking his status panel while thinking of a way to improve further, the expert notified them that the teleportation device was ready. Angus and the others immediately go towards the teleportation device platform without wasting any moment.

Then, the teleportation device lights up, which gathers Anna's attention. Fortunately, before she could do something, all of them had already disappeared from the platform. *Bzztt* A moment later, Angus and the others arrive at different locations.

The royal guard immediately looks around to check the surroundings as it is their job to ensure they are teleported to the right place. At the same time, Angus, Jayna, and Anna look at the surroundings.

Even though most of them just use teleportation devices, none show discomfort and urges to vomit from the teleportation side effect. The royal guard is trained to avoid this situation, while Angus and Jayna are also quite abnormal.

Not to mention Anna, who has a very absurd body. People may think that Angus and Jayna's growth is already ridiculous, but Angus knows the ridiculous one is Anna. A month ago, she managed to reach second grade just like breathing.

She was just doing her usual routine before her core suddenly upgraded. This means she is able to reach second grade when she is still twelve years old. Since then, her body has become absurdly stronger.

She could even withstand any second circle elemental spells just with her body. Angus even thinks she will probably be fine if she somehow enters a lava pool since her body is abnormally strong.

Looking at the cheerful Anna who is looking at the surroundings like a curious child, Angus couldn't help but remember something.

'No wonder, people are afraid of monster people. Their strength is simply monstrous and couldn't be measured. Moreover, unlike the rumor said, Anna is actually very smart. Unfortunately, she is just too lazy to use her brain.' thought Angus.

Since Anna is very lazy and easily distracted, Angus decides to give her a special test during their stay in the royal academy. The test consists of various things in many unusual ways.

Then, Angus finds that Anna has a very high IQ that could make all the geniuses on Earth a shame. Moreover, she also could notice many unusual things that ordinary people ignore.

This is an essential talent for a fighter. Anna also proved to be a very great decision maker and problem solver. Unfortunately, she is too lazy to use her brain and likes to use her brute strength to solve problems.
