Chapter 134: Chapter 134
===
With the end of his studies with Skayler, Juri returned home, where he found an Ikiria watching TV.
Ikiria is currently at Level 238, having become a [High Human], not to mention that her Paranormal Exposure has also reached Level 225!
Ikiria showed her potential by bursting several "potential bubbles", which totaled: +378 Strength, +441 Agility, +434 Constitution, +211 Intelligence and +56 Wisdom.
Wisdom didn't grow as much because it was already near and above its Level(x10) much of the time.
Also, due to training, his Attributes have also risen in level: Strength Lv.103, Agility Lv.127, Constitution Lv.108, Intelligence Lv.56 and Wisdom Lv.163!
As for the 730 Attribute Points, Juri thought it best to throw everything into Wisdom, since his [Celestial Constitution] is pending more for Chi than anything else.
And with her focus on Wisdom, coupled with the +60% bonus, it became a staggering 5,254, or +525.4% in her Physical Attributes.
But that was not all, she could get even stronger, Juri wished to teach her her [Vitality Sovereign's Handbook], but it was discovered that Ikiria cannot.
It turns out that she has something called [Heavenly Core], such a core is connected to her body and soul, even more deeply than Juri's [Life Cores].
Well, it's normal, since the bonus of that is in percentage and not fixed points.
And even though it doesn't stop her from using Aura, it does stop her from practicing the methods of creating the vessels of power.
This sounds bad, but it's not, because this is her Status, even without a "container of power"!

When Ikiria reached the Medium Level of her [Celestial Constitution], she acquired the title "Blessed of Heaven".
Juri asked the System what the titles do, the System said nothing, it's just an appointment.
But well, that doesn't matter much, the important thing is that even under the System, being a player, she has +500,000 HP, even Juri hasn't reached that yet, she has 402,019 total HP.
And we notice that Juri has 2,540 Constitution, while Ikiria has 1,791, the difference doesn't seem that big, but it's a lot!
The +200% of his [Celestial Core] is just too amazing!
That's likely to increase to 300, 350 or 400% upon reaching High Level.
And the System reported that the [Celestial Constitution] is constantly evolving, Ikiria will only get even more monstrous in the future!
...
Now we take our eyes off this little monster, and focus on Luria!
Luria has just reached Level 309 and her Paranormal Exposure is at 300.
Her "potential bubbles" have given her: +201 Strength, +243 Agility, +300 Constitution, +205 Intelligence, and +52 Wisdom.
Her 841 accumulated Attribute Points were all for Wisdom, so this is her Status:
Name: Luria Whinter(63) | Title: Ice Knight, Former Noble of the Winter Kingdom
Species: Ice Elf | Gender: Female
Class: Civilian | Job: Adventurer
Level: 308(0%) | Paranormal Exposure: 300(0%)

Wisdom 3.363+151 = 3.514(+300)
Luck 561+15 = 576
Sanity 469/469
Luria has been training hard, including becoming a [Sword Master], Tier 3 evolution of [Advanced Fencing].
Fencing itself encompasses every type of blade, but because Luria focuses on using swords and the like, the Skill has evolved into something more suitable.
Unlike Juri, Luria is not someone who is indecisive about which path to take, her only indecision is between Aura and Chi, which has become obvious that Chi is best.
Simply increasing the Attributes according to the percentage with Wisdom as a base is very powerful.
Juri wonders how it is in the Asian countries, they probably have old men with millennia of years lived, around Level 1,000!
Juri knows that studying Negative Energy, doing Rituals and getting stronger through it, helps a lot and gains a few more years of life.
In the records, the oldest person reached 273 years before dying, not from natural causes, but murdered, since he was still active.
But it is estimated that National Level individuals, can easily live to their 350~400 years.
But the Chi... only in the 1st stage so to speak, already increases by +100 Years of life, due to [Strong's Health].
Surely Chinese medicine and the like must influence a lot and because they have abundant knowledge of Martial Arts, Chi secrets and Techniques, it's obvious the advantage they have.
Juri was even more thirsty to get her hands on methods of practicing Chi, more advanced Martial Arts and so on.
Unfortunately she doesn't have the courage or strength to do so.
She fears that if she goes to Asia, then creates a small mess, Level 500~600 Martial Artists will emerge to beat her up.
Not to mention that she must have some with [Celestial Constitution] among them, with this is her world and not the Dungeon, which is divided into Continents, they must have many more individuals with a Celestial Constitution.
And certainly the Asians have methods of finding them.
Returning home, Juri blew Ikiria a kiss and asked where Luria is.
"Training!" - Ikiria said after the kiss, looking at the TV.
Juri sat up and asked. - "Would you like some popcorn?"
"Uhum!" - Ikiria nodded.
Smiling, Juri got up and went to prepare some popcorn.
And soon Juri felt the powerful aura of 2 individuals, an aura that is suppressed.
Before long, a tall blue-skinned woman walked up, accompanied by a gray-haired man wearing medieval armor.
"Oh, I thought your vacation was over." - Juri smiled looking at Pietro.
"I extended them a bit, I said I was following the tracks of an evil cult and didn't need support, with the increase in my Paranormal Exposure, it helped give credibility to my lie." - Said Pietro smiling.
Every day he is looking more youthful, he has even gained some muscles and seems to have grown a bit.
"Won't anyone suspect you of being... well... young?" - Juri asked smiling, she has to admit the wonders of [Magic Force].
"No need to worry, there are Death Rituals that help slow aging, rejuvenate and so on, I've used it before, do you think how I've stayed active even though I'm past 100?" - Pietro smiled wryly.
His personality had changed a bit, before he was always cold and serious as he had a lot on his mind, but now, he was more excited and confident, maybe rejuvenating so much had filled him with energy.
Juri liked Pietro smiling and exuding the energy of youth.
"Well, my congratulations, I see you will soon be able to awaken the [Aura]!" - Juri said calmly.
"Yes, I was quite surprised, but I think it's due to his body being very adaptable, there's also the fact of the Rituals and etc., which made his vitality quite vigorous, the [Magic Force] just fixed all that and has been growing and stabilizing." - Said Luria giving Juri a kiss on the cheek and going to get something to eat.
"If Skayler were here, he'd be itching to do some research on you, but well, take this!" - Said Juri taking out a book and giving it to Pietro.
"That would be?" - Pietro asked curiously.
"[Blood Burning Manual], an Aura training method, by practicing it and being successful, you will be able to form something called [Blood Orbs], which in addition to significantly increasing your physical abilities, when seriously injured, you can sacrifice one of the Orbs formed to heal your wounds, recover your fatigue and some Mana." - Said Juri calmly.
"That's good, I've heard of a technique like that before, I think it's pretty common among the Orcs and Northern Barbarians, how many Orbs can this create?" - Luria asked taking milk straight from the bottle.
"Disgusting!" - Said Juri with a little disgust, but continued. - "If it can form 10 Blood Orbs, I guess the practice difficulty isn't much below your [White Knights Manual], except that one can be used by any race, yours was tailored specifically for your race!"
"Suck me!" - Said Luria to Juri's 'disgusting!", but as she listened to his explanation of the technique, she was quite surprised.
"How did you get something like that? If you could form... I don't know, 3~5 Orbs, I would even understand, but 10? That means it's an Advanced Technique, how the hell did you get your hands on that?!" - Luria asked in shock.
"It cost a bit, but it helped me create my own method of practicing Aura!" - Said Juri smiling.
"I want to know more about that!" - Said Luria seriously.
"And I'm going to take a shower, I really don't understand anything you guys are talking about!" - Said Pietro going upstairs.
Juri then told Luria about the [Vitality Sovereign's Handbook], which made her impressed and also wanted to learn it, the System said it was possible, but she would have to destroy all her progress so far.
"Leave it alone then, if I lose my 2 White Stars, I will become much weaker and it will slow me down, not to mention I don't think it will take long for me to form my 3rd Star, I felt it getting easier after I reach Level 300!" - Luria said calmly.
"Are you sure it's not because of the fact that I reached 1,000 Intelligence Points? As far as I understand, the amount of Mana has quite an impact on that and... I told you to throw in some Points in Intelligence, you need 3,000 Points to evolve your Race!" - Juri said seriously.
"Ok! Ok! I'll do that from now on, I think by Level 399 of both, I'll accumulate about 1,200 Attribute Points, as I'll focus on training and studying more until I form my 3rd White Star, I think I'll reach 3,000 Intelligence." - Said Luria quite nonchalantly.
"I swear if you don't evolve your race to Levels 400... well, you're in for a surprise!" - Juri smiled.
"Oh, really? I'm curious, what kind of surprise?" - Luria smiled as she hugged Juri and touched his forehead with hers.
"I don't know, maybe I am preparing a surprise with rituals, I have discovered many interesting things." - Said Juri smiling provocatively, looking into her eyes.
"It's been a while, how about we go to the Practice Dungeon and go with everything?" - Luria asked smiling.
"Tempting, but I'll pass, I've gotten too strong and I'm afraid I'll lose control with you." - Said Juri smiling.
Luria laughed, putting some strength into the hug, but Juri smiled back and pushed her arms away.
"Hey, what the fuck!" - Luria couldn't help it and cursed.
"Let me see your Status!" - Shouted Luria annoyed, then opened it and... when she saw the situation she frowned.
"That's not fair... I'm Level 308 and 300, you're only Level 220 and 203, how the hell did you get so strong?!" - Luria asked pouting.
Smiling, Juri threw the popcorn that was ready into a large, round pot, wrapped it with his Chi, before throwing it at Ikiria.
Ikiria didn't even look, just stretched out an arm and nimbly picked up the flying pot, then put it between her legs and began to eat the popcorn.
Luria frowned, really angry and frustrated.
She is moving up a level so much, not to mention that she hasn't delayed her practice.
But Juri at Level 220, just studying Magic, has gotten so strong!
"What are you complaining about my pretty one? That's [Life Core] stuff, look!" - Juri showed her the Skill.
"... okay, it's practically White Stars, only a little better!" - Luria said snorting.
"Yeah, but look at the description, also look at the description in my manual, this assimilates not only the Aura concepts of various techniques, it also incorporates my [Elemental Magic].
I actually almost died because of this thing, my Aura awakened, I learned this Skill and bang, my body started destroying itself to try and seek balance, but the result was great, even if I don't want to go through that again!" - Said Juri smiling and hugging his waist.
"Are you okay?" - Luria asked worriedly.
"I am now, it's been a few days that, you know that time I ran straight to the Practice Dungeon? It was that day." - Said Juri smiling.
"What? Damn you, why didn't you say anything?!" - Luria asked angrily.
"And what good would that do? I was asleep for several hours there before I went back to Skayler and continued studying, you and Ikiria, as well as Mr. Pietro were training, so there was no reason to get in their way." - Juri said smiling.
Luria nodded, then noticed Ikiria beside him.
"What is it my good?" - Juri asked smiling at her.
"Are you okay?" - Ikiria asked with glazed eyes on her.
"I'm fine!" - Said Juri smiling and giving her a hug as well.
"Really?" - Ikiria asked insistently.
"You doubt it? Let's go to the bedroom, you see your drawing later!" - Said Juri smiling and Ikiria nodded.
"Hey! I had asked first!" - Luria huffed.
"That's right... well, you take care of Mr. Pietro, I'll take care of you later, now I want to savor my cute and beautiful Ikiria here!" - Said Juri laughing, she still feels some anger from what happened almost 1.5 months ago.
Luria huffed, thinking of how to get revenge.
