Chapter 182: Spiritual Fruits (2)
1/2
...
Bloed was surprised.
''My breakthrough? Does she mean the thing inside can help me to breakthrough to B-Grade?''
Curious, he opened the box.
Inside were three small grape-like fruit emitting a faint sweet fragrance.
"We call them spiritual fruits," Eve spoke up while the group observed the fruits. "This thing can help someone below demigod to increase their soul power by a certain amount. It''s only useful for the first two or three times, though. And after the first time, the effects decrease greatly until it turns into just a very delicious fruit."
Bloed''s eyes opened wide. This fruit It was literally something able to increase psychic power!
"Your cultivation method is specialized in soul power, right Mr. Bloed?" Eve stared straight into Bloed''s eyes. "I''m sure that with just one or two of these fruits, you can take the next step."
Bloed did not reply. He could not deny Eve''s words.
When he used his eyes to observe the fruits, he understood that Eve''s words were right. Although he still needed to confirm their effects in hisboratory, he was eighty percent sure they could help him to advance to B-Grade.
"I hope you understand how important that mine is for the beastmen, Mr. Bloed," Eve continued seriously. "As the Saintess of Moonlight Glow, the wellbeing of the beastmen is my greatest priority. Once you consume this fruit, you will be one of the strongest B-Ranks in the continent. As for miss Liu Ying, she overwhelmingly defeated several B-Ranks a few days ago in the arena. With that strength, I''m sure the two of you will increase our probabilities of victory."
Bloed sighed and closed the box. He then looked at Regina and Liu Ying asking for their opinion.
Regina wrinkled her brows and Liu Ying shrugged. In the end, both of them left the decision in Bloed''s hands.
Seeing that, Bloed thought for a moment before turning towards Eve.
"You will need more than this if you want to make us participate."
Eve nodded. "Don''t worry. The king of The Great Savannah will reward the six people chosen to participate and then reward them again if they win. Besides it, Moonlight Glow will support you with everything you need for thepetition."
"Everything?" Bloed raised an eyebrow.
"Everything."
"That is A good deal." Bloed nodded. "By the way, can we take the mechanical pets with us? Without them, our strength will fall greatly."
"Beastpanions are not allowed." Eve shook her head immediately. "But there are no restrictions on equipment."
Bloed was startled before smiling. "I understand Okay, we are going to participate. However, you will have to help me to get some things I will need."
Eve mirrored his smile.
"Do speak."
After Eve, Javelin, and the others were gone, only Bloed and the girls remained in the house.
Regina furrowed her brows and looked at Bloed in doubt.
"Master, are you sure about this?"
"I am," Bloed replied calmly. "What is the worst that can happen? I don''t think we will lose to other B-Ranks, but In the worst-case scenery, you just have to rescue us. Besides, Eve''s conditions are pretty good." He said while looking at the box on his hands.
These were the three spiritual fruits Eve gave to him.
"I agree." Liu Ying agreed with Bloed. "This is a good opportunity to get morebat experience, plus we will face the geniuses of the elves and the Sun Kingdom, I''ll sure we will learn a lot."
Regina nodded. "You are right. Besides, once master advances to the B-Grade, I''m sure no other B-Rank will be his match."
Bloed nodded before putting on a grave expression. "We can''t underestimate the geniuses of other countries though. I''m pretty sure they will not be less talented than us, plus their cultivation will surely be higher, most likely at the peak of B-Rank."
"Even so, I don''t think master will lose."
Bloed didn''t think so either, but he preferred to be careful anyway.
Before that, though, he needed to deal with the spiritual fruits.
Bloed was wondering if he should eat them now or not.
Spiritual fruits.
Bloed had read about them when he was still a prince. They grew in a very special tree that could be found in the headquarters of Moonlight Glow, and could be used to increase soul power, aka psychic energy.
To be honest, they were just a bit useful for the people of this world. After all, although this world''s [Mana Maniption] could be considered as a kind of ESP ability, the people of this world focused more on mana instead of psychic energy.
But for Bloed, whose entire cultivation relied on psychic energy only, these fruits were a true treasure.
If he used them now, he could guarantee his advancement to B-Grade.
But if he used them when he was at the peak of B-Grade, the fruits would likely be enough to help him to breakthrough to A-Grade.
Unfortunately, the energy in these fruits made it unlikely they could help him to breakthrough to S-Grade, even if he was at the very peak of A-Grade.
But even so, the fruits would be much more useful if he waited to use them when he needed to breakthrough to A-Ranks. After all, he was confident he could breakthrough to B-Grade using his own strength, although it would take him a while.
His breakthrough to A-Rank, on the other hand, was much harder.
Bloed was undecided for a few minutes. To use them, or to not use them.
But after a few minutes of hesitation, he just sighed.
In the end, Bloed decided to use them.
Eve gave him these fruits to make him a B-Grade before thepetition. Bloed could not ept her kindness without keeping his words.
Plus, although he could use the fruits to help with his breakthrough from B-Grade to A-Grade. What was he going to do when he needs to be an S-Grade, a demigod?
By then, he will have to rely on himself if he wants to seed.
Thus, He could use his breakthrough to A-Grade as a practice for when he needed to breakthrough to S-Grade.
"When are you going to make the breakthrough, Bloed?" Liu Ying asked curiously.
Bloed took a deep breath and clenched his fist.
"Tomorrow."
