BXBX NOVEL Chapter 13: smile of a devil
However, none seemed to overpower the other. Soon, they come into harmony, like yin and yang. Strengthening and empowering each other.
As soon as the two symbols stabilized, David felt a sense of Dejavu that he had never felt before.
He felt as if he had been reborn.
The way he perceived the world had changed.
His vision became even more clearer. Earlier, if his vision was like a 144p camera then now it was like a 4k video.
Although he was sitting on the third floor of the building, he could slightly hear the footsteps of the Origin Guard on the first floor.
His skin, which was whiter than snow, suddenly started to wrinkle and was repeatedly replaced by even more perfect skin.
David felt as if his entire being was transformed.
He was like a caterpillar that had transformed into a butterfly, ready to spread its wings and fly away.
David tried to take control of the mana that was rushing toward his head with the help of the Purple Thunder technique.
Something even more magical happened. The mana that was earlier like a rebellious child suddenly became docile as a puppy.
Hummm!
Surge of purple currents started to appear around David like dancing snakes.
They appeared and disappeared in a flash.
The scene caused a smile to appear on David\'s face.
He had finally succeeded.
He was now a Body Refining Realm cultivator.
All the hard work had been worth it.
[Mission successfully completed.]
[Reward has been deposited in your inventory.]
David suddenly heard the notification from the bank of Eternal Origin. However, before he could properly take a look at it and see what the reward was…
David felt an unprecedented surge of mana coming in his direction.
The amount was huge, far greater than what he had handled just a moment ago.
David\'s expression darkened. He mentally prepared himself for the impact.
However, the impact that he was waiting for didn\'t happen.
In fact, it was the opposite.
The mana gently cradled him like a baby that finally found its mother.
David was stunned and couldn\'t understand what was going on.
However, upon thinking about it he finally understood.
"That girl broke through."
David muttered with a surprise on his face as the face of a blonde-haired girl appeared in his head.
His investment had finally started to pay dividends.
It was understandable. Emilia was already at the half-step Foundation Building realm when he had met her.
David also understood why she was in a hurry to leave that day.
What the hell!
David suddenly muttered in shock.
The white shirt that he was wearing was torn to shreds, exposing his well-developed chest muscles.
David had gotten huge.
That surge of mana wasn\'t for nothing; it had directly promoted David to the Body Refining Realm Rank five.
And as the name implied, his body had gotten faster and better at everything.
When David was checking and flexing his muscles, the sun rays had started to peak inside though the window of his room.
Unknowingly, it was already morning.
David had been cultivating for hours without even realizing how much time had passed.
He was on cloud nine, and the feeling of getting stronger was so addictive.
Just like that days passed, and in the blink of an eye more than half a month flew away.
These days David was like a child that had gotten a new toy.
Everyday after washing up, he would perform the same routine.
Sitting cross-legged and absorbing the mana from the atmosphere to nourish his body with the help of the Purple Thunder technique.
Ten days ago, he had broken through and now he was at the rank six body refining realm, just inches away from rank seven.
David found his progress to be slow. After all, Emilia who was similar to him in age was already at the Foundation Building realm.
If someone from the Deadwood Academy were to hear his thoughts, they would surely spit blood in anger.
This bastard had the gall to complain about his cultivation speed. The top students of Deadwood City had to work hard for three years, then only they were barely able to reach Body Refining Rank seven.
And here he was, breaking through ranks like breathing, he still had the gall to complain.
Too arrogant!
Suddenly, he heard the sound of footsteps and a voice that he wasn\'t familiar with coming from the first floor.
"Bryan, why are you in such a hurry?"
"What happened, can you please tell me."
"I will help you! Please tell me, Bryan."
David also heard a voice that he was a little familiar with.
"So, this guy is finally back."
David checked the time on the clock that he had recently bought from the bank\'s shop and smiled.
However, his smile was like that of a devil that had finally caught an innocent soul.
Bryan had already defaulted on his payment. He was supposed to repay the loan yesterday.
"Ahhh! What a good day today."
David cheerfully commented and wore the brand new outfit that he had bought from the bank.
After changing. He hummed a happy tune and walked downstairs.
As soon as he got down, David eyes landed on a lady dressed in purple leather armor looking at the Origin Guard with curiosity.
She tapped on the guard\'s chest with her fingers without fear. Not caring about the middle aged men by her side who was looking at her actions a little worriedly.
He didn\'t want to anger the owner of this place.
Bryan Krack was again in urgent need of money. Therefore, he had rushed towards the bank once again.
The girl beside him was Fiona, his ally whom he had worked with several times in the past.
Although, if he wanted, he could get the money from her, but Bryan didn\'t want to owe her a favor.
Moreover, the bank charged a relatively low interest rate.
If David were to hear his thoughts, he surely would have laughed devilishly. Bryan seemed to have forgotten about the fifty per cent per day clause.
David, however, wouldn\'t surprised as this was human nature; they tend to ignore the cons and only focus on the benefits.
He had little expectations in his heart because Bryan was a cultivator. As it turned out, he was no different than an ordinary human.
