114 Chapter 114
After talking with the Orphanage girls for a while about planning the Weapon Shop, Theo, Shina, Yuki, Zaira, Zaika and Little Yui returned to their room to cultivate.
Before starting, Theo said, "I'm going out, but I'll be right back. You can just start cultivating without me."
"Huh?" Shina looked at him and asked, "Where are you going, Theo? Can you tell me?"
"Oh!" Theo replied with a sinister smile: "I'm going to meet my new friends!"
Hearing and seeing him smile like that, Shina sighed and could only regret the unhappiness of whom Theo had chosen to be his 'friends.' She had lived with Theo for a long time. She knew very well that for him to be smiling like that, nothing good would come of it.

After telling them he was heading out, Theo became coated in his True Mana of Darkness and began to run through the dead of night, toward the Kenedy Clan.
He had already gotten the Kenedy Clan coordinates previously from Shina, so it was not hard for him to find them.
Still, with his presence hidden, Theo began to use his Divine Sense to scan the entire Kenedy Clan to know how strong they were.
"Huh?" Theo was surprised the moment he did, as he could feel a powerful presence within the Kenedy Clan.
"At the very least, they should be in the Apprentice Wizard's 6th Layer…" Theo thought as he felt this presence: "It will be a problem if I attack them now… although I could kill them if I wore my level 5 armour and level 6 weapon… but there's a lot of surveillance cameras, and it's very close to other places…"
Theo didn't care about other people wanting to avenge them, but it would be a problem if they targeted the Orphanage because of his actions. Since he's been in the Orphanage for a while, they would probably know about him living there. Also, there was the issue that he didn't want to expose his armour and weapon yet…
"If I can advance to the Apprentice Wizard Kingdom, then maybe…" Theo thought: "I could possibly handle them, even if they're in the 6th Apprentice Wizard Kingdom Layer."
Not wanting to watch for too long and get noticed, Theo started to leave and return to the Orphanage. Despite being confident in his own abilities, Theo knew it was foolish to be overconfident because there are all kinds of techniques and skills. He couldn't guarantee that they didn't have something that could detect him.
Once he arrived at the Orphanage, Theo went straight to the room where they were staying. He then entered the Dimensional Room, where the girls were cultivating.
Seeing them concentrated on cultivation, Theo opened the System and bought the Higher Student Kingdom Elemental Pills.
"Okay, I think I better be in the Apprentice Wizard Kingdom, but before that, I need to use the Elemental Pills I haven't used yet…" Theo thought. He then sat on the floor in the lotus position and began to digest the Pills.
Sweating a little after finishing using all the Pills, Theo felt great! Many impurities that had accumulated in his body were once again purged. After that, he used <Clean> on his body to remove the grime.
"Alright, I still have the Magic Cores I got at Ang Village, I'll use them to try to raise myself to the Apprentice Wizard Kingdom," Theo muttered and took out the Lightning Cores first.
Placing them in front of him, he began using <Devour> on the Magic Cores.
[Filled 2,241 Lineage Cells]
[Filled 3,562 Lineage Cells]
[Filled 2,172 Lineage Cells]
[Filled 3,784 Lineage Cells]
[Blue Lightning Affinity; Changed to Lightning G-2]
"Oh! There has been an increase in my Lightning affinity… but what does it mean; Lightning G-2?" Theo wondered with doubt.
"Alright, I'll test it to see if anything has changed…" Not wanting to affect the others, Theo went to the other end of the Dimensional Room and manifested some of his Lightning Mana… He was surprised that the colour of his Lightning affinity once again changed… Now it's green!
"Now what's the difference this has from the previous Blue Lightning?" Theo muttered.
Having no way to test it now, he decided to leave it for later. For, first of all, he wanted to be able to reach the Apprentice Wizard Kingdom today.
[Filled 2,021 Lineage Cells]
"Lightning cores are all gone… and I've only been able to fill in about 50% of my current cultivation…" Theo thought: "Okay, there are still the Magic Cores of Darkness, although not as many as Lightning, they will help to fill in a little of my cultivation."
Taking the Magic Cores he had for Darkness, Theo started using <Devour> on them, too.
[Filled 1,719 Cells]
[Filled 1,452 Cells]
[Filled 2,092 Cells]
[Congratulations! 300,000 Cells were filled]
"…" Theo looked around to see if he had any changes… and then noticed that he had grown a tail. Now he has 7 tails…
"This way, I'll be a Nine-Tailed Fox soon…" Theo muttered.
*Sigh~
"All the Magic Cores of Lightning and Darkness are gone… and I still haven't even filled 80% of my current cultivation…" Theo began to understand why there are so many people trapped in the Higher Student Kingdom. That's because it takes a lot of Mana to climb to the next Kingdom. But fortunately, he has the "Devour" technique that makes him improve quickly.
"Hmm! The best way is to buy Pills and increase my Mana." Theo thought firmly.
Theo sighed heavily, as the cost of each Pure Mana Pill costs a total of 600,000 Points… he didn't know precisely how many it would take for him to break through to the next level, but still, he decided to try it.
Buying two, to begin with, Theo sat on the floor in a lotus position and put the Pill in his mouth as he began practicing his cultivation technique.
1 hour later.
[Filled 6,457 Lineage Cells]
"Wow! This really is a great Pill! I was able to fill 10% of my cultivation with just one of them!" Theo exclaimed happily. It would be cheaper than he thought. This way, he will only need one, or at most two of them, before he can have a breakthrough.
Putting the other Pill in his mouth, Theo began to practice his cultivation technique.
1 hour later.
p
"Just a little more!" Theo exclaimed excitedly in his mind. He noticed that his cultivation was almost ready for him to be able to advance to the next Kingdom.
Although thinking that if he were given another day or two of standard cultivation, he would get a breakthrough, Theo decided to buy another Pill. Although it would cost a large number of points, it also contains a lot of pure Mana, so it wasn't that bad an investment.
After buying it, Theo, who was still sitting in the lotus position, put the Pill he just bought into his mouth and began to practice his cultivation technique.
Time went by, and as it turned into minutes, he soon began to sweat heavily and feel a lot of pain all over his body! For he was very close to advancing, but it was as if he had a large door in front of him that he needed to force his way through. And in doing so… a lot of pain began to permeate through his body.
Clenching his teeth firmly and increasing his determination, Theo continued to raise his Mana level, and push through the 'door' in front of him, which prevented him from advancing.
"Beim!"
[Full Advance!]
[Congratulations! You have advanced to the 1st Layer of the Apprentice Wizard Kingdom]
"Ufa!"
Theo had a happy, satisfied smile on his face, but as he still had some pure Mana from the Pill that he had consumed. He continued to meditate to stabilize his cultivation.
[Filled 7,018 Lineage Cells]
[Congratulations! Your Cultivation Technique: <Lightning of Primordial Darkness> High Advance; reached the initial stage]
[Congratulations! You have unlocked the Attack Technique: <Primordial Black Thunder Vibration>]
