Rise of The Anti God

Chapter 267 Lightning Prince



Meanwhile, in the Xeton Ethereal Foundation, Damien was sitting in his 'Ethereal Cultivation' class with a bored expression, oblivious to the fact that his name was pulled into discussions between supreme existences in the palace.

If he knew he was already that popular, he would foolishly grin to himself, especially hearing that Reva was having secret rendezvous with him.

Still, he was receiving some subtle stares and looks from his classmates not filled with disdain but with respect and envy. Damien had become quite a star in the Xeton Ethereal Foundation after his stunning performance in his spar with Roy and especially since his name was now listed in the Eternal Hall of Fame rankings.

They knew that they couldn't underestimate him based on his low cultivation level and that he was just as strong as their seniors. No matter how impossible or ridiculous it seemed, they had no choice but to swallow that fact and accept reality.

He was now nicknamed the 'Lightning Prince,' and there was no limit to the number of girls that fangirled over him.

When he entered the school today, much to the envy of other boys, he even got many proposals from girls, to which he politely turned down with a smile, saying that Valentina might be around watching them.

The gutsy girls all ran away upon remembering that the Bloody Fairy might be around watching her boyfriend.

Valentina was already famous throughout the school, but after her fight with Dennisa, her fame and reputation increased even further, especially since her name was also in the Eternal Hall of Fame rankings, so it would be hard for one to miss out on her name.

Now Damien and Valentina were the talks of the town that many disciples even started to look up to them with reverence and respect, and as personal goals to at least achieve one-tenth of the height they had achieved.

The teacher in Damien's class was an elderly man looking around sixty years old, but Damien knew better than that since one's looks can't be used to judge their age. After all, the teacher before him might as well as be centuries old.

He was looking at the board with his chin resting on his palm. But his mind was elsewhere.

Only three months had passed since he awakened in this world, but he felt like a few years had already passed. And now he already had two women as his lovers, a fact he wouldn't be able to believe in his previous life.

The concept of harem never even crossed his mind in his past life, which was one reason he found it a bit hard to come to terms with it.

He was already missing Lily since the day he left the Rong Empire and wondered if there was a chance to meet her earlier safely.

There was not a day that passed where he didn't think about her angelic face and the moments he shared with her. He also had to think of a way to introduce Valentina as his woman to Lily and wondered if she would be upset.

However, he thought that Lily probably wouldn't since she even accepted him when she already knew about Sofie. But still, he felt a little bad that Lily had to put up with him having more than one lover.

He knew the reason Lily accepted him even after knowing everything was because she truly loved him.

If someone knew that Damien had got to his current cultivation level within three months, they would even wonder whether he was a human or an old monster in disguise who decided to cultivate from scratch for fun.

Of course, Damien's mental age when he awakened in this world was in late-twenties but technically, combining the experiences of 'Damien Ward', his mental age might as well be more than his original.

Even Luna previously nodded in satisfaction seeing the speed at which he was improving. Of course, she knew that he was speeding up his cultivation because of the time constraints to save Lily from her fate.

That was why Luna sometimes reminded Damien not to break through too fast and solidify his cultivation base before breaking through the next.

Since before, Damien was in the lower realms of ethereal cultivation, it was okay for him, even if he rushed through.

But as he breakthroughs into the higher cultivation realms, there would be more risks and dangers if he doesn't maintain a good cultivation foundation.

He might even end up like Maria if he doesn't pay attention to his foundation and she wasn't the only one.

In order to develop his medical knowledge in the cultivation world, Damien had already gone around researching the common health problems practitioners faced in the Xeton Ethereal Foundation's library.

He was surprised that most of the dreadful health problems arise from silly mistakes when cultivating or the smallest of errors during cultivation or because the practitioners willingly took foolish risks to increase their cultivation rapidly, mostly using breakthrough pills.

Breakthrough pills were, in fact, made to let practitioners facing a bottleneck to the next realm after trying their best to breakthrough. It was never meant as a shortcut to easily breakthrough without cultivating to the peak of their realm on their own.

Only when one reaches the peak of a certain cultivation realm would it be safe to use the breakthrough pill though the pill need not always work depending on the talent, potential, and understanding of laws of that person.

Even Damien's Supreme Tier breakthrough pills won't really guarantee 100% success. Of course, his pill would have 100% effectiveness, but the breakthrough part would also depend on the one taking the pill.

For instance, if someone at the peak of Nascent Ethereal Realm having a damaged ethereal core takes Damien's breakthrough pill, he would fail to breakthrough for sure since Damien's pill can't make up for the deficiencies in that person's body.

At first, people misunderstood Alchemist Azrael's breakthrough pills.

However, later they understood that the pills still depended on them for the breakthrough as well. However, they weren't disappointed since the success rate was drastically high compared to the already existing top-notch breakthrough pills.

They knew that things couldn't be so convenient such as a pill that could guarantee 100% success of breakthrough.

The class soon ended, and Damien went into one of the cultivation rooms allotted for Elite disciples to cultivate and solidify his recent breakthrough after dual cultivating with Valentina.

He had also told Valentina to do the same after her classes since she would have at least got some slight increase in her cultivation base after all the intense dual cultivation they had yesterday night.

There were around fifty cultivation rooms allotted for Elite disciples, and they could access it on a first-come, first-serve basis while others had to wait if all the rooms were occupied.

Since senior disciples mostly spent their time cultivating here, some of the rooms were always occupied, but they had to pay more Spirit Stones if they wanted to use the room beyond the allotted time limit, which would be pretty expensive. So, most of them never really stayed in their rooms longer than their allotted time limit.

As soon as Damien entered the cultivation hall, he came upon a vast hall with fifty rooms spread out in a linear fashion. He also saw few Elite disciples waiting, some of them seniors while others were in the same year as him.

It was said that these cultivation rooms helped one cultivate faster in peace and also practice their ethereal arts without worrying about the damage or destruction they might cause.

Damien saw that there was a queue of disciples waiting for a free room. However, as soon as the disciples standing in the queue saw Damien, they had fawning smiles on their faces as they gestured to Damien that he could stand ahead of them in the queue.

Damien inwardly chuckled, seeing that these disciples wanted to curry favor with him now that he was a big shot considering that his future was guaranteed to be highly successful along with obtaining the favor of Alchemist Azrael because of Valentina being his girlfriend.

They couldn't imagine what kind of a powerhouse Damien would be and the influential position he might hold in the empire in the future. So, just to be safer, they decided to get in his good graces now itself.

Damien didn't mind as he was not the type to refuse favors when strangers offered him things for free. With a smile, he gladly stepped ahead of the queue.

"Hey, the Morning Prince is here!"

Damien turned around as he heard the excited whispers of the disciples behind him.

He saw Arthur coming into the cultivation hall with a gentle smile while nodding at the disciples greeting him.

Arthur then saw Damien standing in the queue, and his eyes lit up, seeing that he found the person he was looking for.
