《Beast Cultivating System》Chapter 24 - Big Increase in Cultivation and Unrest in Azure Continent
Advertisement
It has been three weeks since Dana has been cultivating using the four cores from the Earth Wyrm's, in these three weeks many things have happened in the Azure Continent whilst Dana has been cultivating.
Firstly, many noble families which were linked in having a good relationship with Lord Evergreen began making movements seemingly hinting that something big was about to occur in the Azure Continent causing great turmoil among the noble families, the only individual seemingly not worried in the slightest is the Azure Emperor as he is leisurely spending his time "having fun" with his many concubines, since Lord Evergreen was gone there was nothing in the Azure Continent he believed that was a threat to him.
Although he is still furious about the death of the First Prince, the Houtian Cultivator and even the failure in capturing the spirit beast, after all, it is spirit beast and he believed it won't pose any problems for him in the future as how could a spirit beast have the intelligence to ever know who was the perpetrator in sending those cultivators?
At the end of the day the Azure Emperor was an extremely selfish individual and only cares about spending his time lavishly, honestly, the main reason he wanted to increase his Cultivation is not what many would believe.
If you thought it would be in pursuit of going further down the path of cultivation or even to ascend his Empire using his new found strength to unify the continent, bringing great glory and history of prosperity towards the Azure Empire itself, then you are wrong! The Azure Emperor just wanted to promote his cultivation rank to extend his life, as a Xanthan Cultivator has double the lifespan of a Houtian one!
In fact, the Azure Emperor got over the death of his son pretty quickly, as he has many sons. Although that one was the most talented, he truly wasn't close to his sons and daughters anyway.
Also, why would he care about the future of his Empire with having the best possible successor?
He only cared in spending the rest of his lifespan filled with pleasure, so just like this, the Azure Empire continued fooling around whilst the other noble families felt a tense atmosphere surrounding Azure Empire.
Simultaneously, in the Azure Academy, there have been many absurd rumours surrounding two individuals which both involve Dana, these two individuals were, of course, old man Zhao and Kaiden Evergreen.
With Dana's abrupt appearance in the classroom which ended rather short when she dragged Kaiden away completely disappearing caused many rumours around.
The first was the rumour of "Pretty Boy Kaiden" a pretty boy which used his looks to seduce the Headmasters disciple! According to the rumours Kaiden it stems mainly around the fact that Kaiden is the submissive one in the relationship and is the one being "dominated" by Dana as a result of her great strength, causing her to be known by many males as "she-devil".
Of course this rumour was predominately made by the male students which had caught a glimpse of Dana's appearance thus were greatly jealous of Kaiden so secretly all of the male students were envious of Pretty Boy Kaiden and didn't think being "dominated" by Dana was actually a bad thing, but it still caused Kaiden to be greatly upset as his former reputation he worked so hard for was completely ruined, originally he was known as a Rare Genius having great battle skills and is highly respected among students including nobles.

However, now he is known for being a pretty boy making him now a joke in the eyes of the students! It was even worse for old man Zhao, the original wise and powerful headmaster became known as "Perverted old man Zhao" a perverted old man which accepted Dana late in the academy as his disciple because he fancied her looks!
This caused the many respectful looks of the students to turn in one of fear whenever old man Zhao appeared, afraid that the perverted Headmaster will take an interest in them! Old man Zhao was so angered by the new nickname that he spat blood!
This rumour was of coursed mainly spread out by the jealous noble ladies which coveted Dana's superior looks!
Therefore, since Dana has been gone these few weeks, both old man Zhao and Kaiden have been through no small amount of suffering in the Academy as a result of the rumours growing further and further out of hand the longer time has passed.
Finally, the Lord of Bright Stone Town had found his son and two subordinates dead which caused him to be greatly furious! Since then he has been launching a mass search party spending no small amounts of resources to find the perpetrator of his son's death!
However, even when many weeks past by they still garnered no results, frustrating the Lord greatly unknowingly he was probably highly fortunate he didn't run into Dana, else he probably wouldn't even be able to keep his own life never-mind having the thought of revenge!
Of course, none of this mattered to Dana who was completely oblivious about the havoc she caused, instead she has been cultivating peacefully in the Earth Wyrm's Den.
Surrounded by the dense Earth Qi, her new found talent in Earth Qi as a result of the bloodline continuously aided her cultivation in this type of environment.
Dana grew excited by the obvious increase in her cultivation speed, as she wondered if she could gain bloodlines which will make her more talented in every attribute, then wouldn't her cultivation be many times faster? In fact, Dana's conclusion was correct, as the genius in top sects were usually the ones which were proficient in two or three attributes.
Usually, a cultivator will have a basic affinity with every elemental Qi, so every cultivator draws in all the Qi in the atmosphere available.
However, a cultivator will have an attribute in which they are stronger than other attributes, which is there "Primary" attribute which is what they mainly use as the stronger your talent in an attribute the easier it absorbs that Qi.
Sects usually look out for how strong is your talent in your primary attribute, as most sects would have focused on a certain attribute. For instance, the Frost Lotus Sect which old man Zhao came from focused in the "Ice Attribute", so they primarily had techniques to do with Ice Qi.
Depending on how talented you are on your particular attributes are mean that you will comprehend martial techniques easier and in some instances, a martial technique may be so profound that an individual without any talent in the attribute that martial technique contains wouldn't be able to comprehend it at all.
This is the main reason the Fifth Tier Sect was primarily interested in the technique of the Ice Lotus Sect as similarly they focused on the Water and Ice attributed Qi, whereas the Demon Sect shown no interest as even though it was a high-level technique they would not benefit from it at all as they would not be able to comprehend it, at the most they could do is just sell it for some benefits!

This is why having a strong affinity with many attributes will overall vastly improve the strength of an individual, however, there is a downside in having too many attributes is that as a cultivator how can they focus on every attribute?
As martial skills take a long time to master an individual trying to master numerous wouldn't be able to match with someone which completely comprehended their martial skill even with the numerous comprehensions of other ones, so usually cultivators focus on one attributes or in the genius cases two or three of the attributes they are most talented in but that is only because they have a strong talent in multiple attributes.
For a normal cultivator with low attribute talent, then they can only master the most basic and weakest martial techniques, thus making their battle power really low and not to mentioning their overall cultivation speed will be affected.
This is why having talent in attributes is a massive thing for cultivators! For Dana, this may not even be an issue, as she will receive bloodline skills which can only be accessible to these different spirit beasts, what will usually be impossible in having that many different bloodlines, Dana will make possible as she has the Beast Cultivating System!
So, with these thoughts constantly emerging in her mind, undisturbed Dana cultivated for three weeks quietly.
A powerful aura swept across the cave as Dana's body increasingly absorbed the Qi of the last remaining core, her cultivation soared rapidly approaching the Houtian 6th Rank, after the final traces of Qi left the core, a cracking sound emerged as Dana finally entered into Houtian 6th Rank.
Her body further continuously grew until it stopped reaching thirty feet in length, as Dana body stood her body felt full of power as she moved.
"I finally reached Sixth Rank of Houtian Realm! That means Azure Emperor practically poses not even the slightest threat to me anymore, I guess it's time to go to the proposed with Kaiden, but first I should check my stats after absorbing the Earth Wyrm bloodline!"
"Status"
[Name: Dana Whitefield]

[Bloodline Inherited Talents: Ice Qi Affinity ----> Increases comprehension towards Ice Laws and Ice Attributed Martial Skills, Body Cultivation----> Due having heritage of a True Dragon, your body is naturally more suitable towards cultivation of the body, any cultivation methods which requires use of the body is 70% more effective and easier to cultivate ----> As a result of containing Earth Wyrm bloodline your Dragonic heritage has been increased, Poison Immunity ----> As a Frost Wyvern with a rare bloodline, you have a high resistance towards poison, Hardened Body ----> Earth Wyrms are descendants of Earth Dragons a race known for having one of the strongest defences among the Dragon race as a descendent an Earth Wyrm has inherited a portion of this talent, Earth Qi Affinity ----> Earth wyrms are naturally attuned to Earth Qi this increases your attribute talent with Earth Affinity, as a result, increases comprehension towards Earth Laws and Earth Attributed Martial Skills ]
Dana felt her body has greatly strengthened as a result of absorbing the Earth Wyrm Bloodline as her body's natural strength has increased thus allowing her body to be strengthened even further by body cultivation, she already asked the system and found she received a 100% Purity bloodline as the Earth Wyrm's before her had high-quality bloodline purity beforehand surprisingly, alongside combining the four was enough to have a complete Earth Wyrm bloodline.
The system stated as a result of this she can purchase the Earth Drake bloodline much cheaper, as an Earth Drake is a superior version of an Earth Wyrm, it's a strong rare bloodline comparable to a Frost Wyvern!
As an Earth Wyrm is an uncommon bloodline, it still isn't enough to push her bloodline to a saint one.
To do that she will either have to combine three Rare bloodlines which are related to a Dragon or directly get a Saint bloodline herself!
She realized she received seven hundred and fifty soul points each Earth Wyrm giving her three thousand soul points, which is a fairly sizable amount of soul points for Dana.
Dana decided to search for another Rare bloodline herself and then purchase the Earth Drake bloodline for her final third bloodline to allow her to upgrade her bloodline to a Saint one!
"System what is the cost of Earth Drake bloodline?" Dana queried wanting to know what the discounted version costed.
[Host it cost fifty thousand soul points, originally it was twenty times that price but as a result of achieving 100% Purity Earth Wyrm bloodline it can be upgraded for fifty thousand soul points!]
After the system finished answering her question this caused Dana to be delighted, even though fifty thousand was many soul points, she didn't view it as impossible.
Compared to the original cost it is a small amount, Dana believed she can achieve fifty thousand soul points no problem!
I will secure the other Rare bloodline myself and use the system to acquire the remaining one decided Dana.
It seems this is another feature of the system if I can secure 100% purity of a degraded bloodline I can obtain the superior version. It seems common and uncommon bloodlines are not as useless as I thought if I can gain these bloodlines, I can receive the highly discounted upgraded versions, which in the long run will greatly help me in having a True Dragon Bloodline.
It seems I will return back to the Azure Continent, now I wonder how much old man Zhao missed me smiled Dana, not realizing that she is currently the cause of old man Zhao's misery as a result of becoming known as "Perverted Old Man Zhao" throughout the entire Azure Empire!

Unfortunately this curse is backed by a raging inferno of hatred, and it seems it won't relent until it's sated with blood. Then again Helena's never been shy about shedding blood. Especially if she gets to decide who's blood it is.
8 66A Bloody Game
Eric Hunter, a boy who took a gamble with his life on the line, soon finds out that the pay off took a very different direction that he thought. Having just awoken from a pre-op only to find himself confused and all alone in a changed world and a hospital consumed by chaos he must do all he can to survive. In a new world where society crumbles and laws are merely pretty words on written paper, how will a boy who has been restricted his whole life live now that there is nothing to hold him back? When everything turns into a zero sum game of dog eat dog, they'll find that The Hunter is an all too willing participant, but he will soon find out that he isn't the only player of this game. First story I'm posting and I don't really have a cool synopsis, sorry everyone, but this story is just another LitRPG apocalypse. I guess the only difference is that the main character isn't a hero. He's not here to save the world, he's not here to make friends, and he's definitely not here to save everyone. He's probably what the villains in other similar stories would be actually. Just writing for fun, advice or constructive critism is welcomed, writing style prone to change. Warning: Incredible amounts of poor grammar, Gore, Profanities, Traumatizing content, and cliches(I plan to have multiple main characters, maybe this is too ambitious for my poor skills, but it seems like it would be fun to try, the other MCs won't show up until later on.) The cover image isn't mine I just found it online. It's a piece by Stephanie Frey This takes inspiration from a lot of great stories on here, but I find the beginning to be most similar to Blood Lust by DefinitelyNotJormlung. Starcraft and Warhammer 40k and survival world rpg by S_Conary will also influenced this (at least that's my plan if I ever get that far or finish this) Also please stay with me until chapter 3. I suck at starting stories, but have been told I get better as I'm further along.
