Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

Chapter 99: Initiate the refinement!

"Did you take care of everything I asked you to?" Sylvia's voice was cold and intimidating as she looked down at Layla, who was visibly shivering.

"Um... I sort of did," Layla's voice was tiny, even trembling.

Sylvia's eyebrows knitted slightly. "What do you mean by 'sort of'?"

"Because there are so many disciples secretly in love with Brother Timothy, I couldn't possibly note down each one. I only managed to gather some general data," Layla said, her voice quivering, as if she feared Sylvia might vaporize her with a flick of her finger.

Noticing that Sylvia hadn't lost her temper, Layla dared to continue, "During this period, according to my records, 139 female disciples have spied on Brother Timothy bathing, 77 have secretly sent him love letters, 367 have flirted with him, and 679 have blushed at him. But these numbers are probably just a fraction,there are many more I haven't seen..."

"You, you guys!" Sylvia was utterly flabbergasted.

She had tasked Layla with finding a few potential rivals who harbored ill intentions towards Timothy.

But she hadn't expected thousands, not just a few!

This investigation had almost exposed every disciple in the Sky Sanctuary!

How many female disciples were there in Sky Sanctuary? If she really had to list them all, there would hardly be anyone left!

"And what about Timothy? How does he feel about these female disciples who are interested in him?" Sylvia asked through gritted teeth.

Layla quickly responded earnestly, "You can rest assured, Goddess. Brother Timothy is a true gentleman. Despite the attention from so many sisters, his spiritual focus has never wavered, and he has never accepted any confessions."

"Is that so?"

Hearing this, Sylvia's chaotic emotions suddenly settled as if anchored.

She even felt a bit guilty.

She had completely misjudged Timothy.

Despite the admiration from so many female disciples, Timothy had managed to stay true to himself, rejecting each one.

"Hmph, I'll forgive you for now!" Sylvia huffed, feeling much relieved.

But just then, Layla seemed to remember something else and added, "Oh, Goddess, although Brother Timothy firmly rejected all the female disciples, he also said that spying on him bathing would cost one Mana Crystal, and pretending to be his girlfriend would cost five Mana Crystals. First come, first served..."

"Really, Timothy? I won't let you off!" Sylvia instantly stood up, stomped her foot in frustration, and floated out of the hall.

"Wait, Goddess, maybe Brother Timothy just needs the money!" Realizing she might have misspoken, Layla hurriedly followed.

Outside the hall.

Just as Sylvia located Timothy, she witnessed a bizarre scene.

In front of his sacred image, Timothy was throwing punches with vigor, specifically targeting female disciples and sending them flying through the air in graceful arcs.

"What in the world is this..." Sylvia was puzzled.

Layla suggested, "Could it be that Brother Timothy is demonstrating his firm disinterest in romantic affairs by taking on so many female disciples?"

"It seems... that might be the case."

The scene before her seemed to be the only explanation.

"Hmph, I didn't expect him to be so aware," Sylvia snorted coldly, a hint of pleasure flickering across her cool face.

But soon, she noticed something odd.

Each of Timothy's seemingly casual punches was not only perfectly measured but also carried a profound aura.

It was as if with each punch, Timothy's insight deepened.

Each punch was more exquisite than the last, each filled with a more profound aura.

"This energy!" Even Sylvia was wearing a look of disbelief.

She had sensed the unique aura of the Enlightenment Body in Timothy's punches!

But how could that be possible?

Nolan, the only one known to possess the Enlightenment Body, had been killed!

With the last female disciple sent flying, an announcement chimed in Timothy's mind:

[Congratulations, host, for successfully alleviating the stress in the hearts of the female disciples of Sky Sanctuary. Mission complete. Affection from Sky Sanctuary disciples +200. Mastery of the Convergence of Ten Thousand Thunders Technique and the Thunder Realm Ring has reached full completion.]

[Successfully inflicted severe mental distress on Elder Turner, reward granted: +2 skill points.]

Timothy: "Huh?"

He clearly remembered launching Oscar, who was disguised as a woman, so why was it Elder Turner who ended up mentally distressed?

However, more pressing matters were at hand.

The Holy Emperor Thunderflame was a revered figure, and his legacy items were far from simple.

Having mastered both the Convergence of Ten Thousand Thunders Technique and the Thunder Realm Ring, Timothy felt an inexplicable connection between the two. After elevating his mastery to full completion, this sensation grew even stronger.

Without hesitation, Timothy followed his instincts and tossed the Thunder Realm Ring into the sky.

He then sat down cross-legged, his body emanating thousands of thunderbolts—the legacy of the Holy Emperor Thunderflame's Convergence of Ten Thousand Thunders Technique.

With a crack, intense lightning struck the Thunder Realm Ring, and a formidable aura burst forth from the surface of the ring.

The Thunder Realm Ring hovered in mid-air, quickly projecting a lake-like phantom image.

In that reflection was the miniature world inside the Thunder Realm Ring!

"Indeed, only the Convergence of Ten Thousand Thunders Technique can truly unlock this Thunder Realm Ring."

Timothy's gaze sharpened as he reached towards the Thunder Realm Ring floating in the air.

In that distant miniature world, the myriad thunderbolts in the sky seemed to be summoned, swirling towards the junction of the two realms.

[Alert: The myriad thunderbolts accumulated in the miniature world can refine the body and help the host master the endless thunderbolts. However, the host should be aware that this will be extremely risky and could even endanger the host's life.]

Just then, the system issued a warning.

"High risk?" Timothy glanced at Sylvia, who was quietly watching him from a distance.

With his wife by his side, even the perilous legacy of the Holy Emperor Thunderflame seemed less daunting, providing him with an indestructible support.

"Initiate the refinement!" Timothy declared.

[Trial initiated. The host's bravery is commendable. Reward granted: Thunder Aegis Pill, which can significantly mitigate the impact of thunder strikes.]

As the system's voice faded, a thunderous roar erupted from the Thunder Realm Ring, unleashing terrifying thunderbolts directly at Timothy!

In an instant, all eyes were drawn to him, watching in awe as he bathed in the lightning, appearing godlike amidst the storm.
