Chapter 74
After discovering that the food tonic could bring great benefits to an apprentice Adept’s body, the magical energy meal which he only eats once a day became an essential part of his daily life.
After being inspired and guided by him, it didn’t take too long for Mary to become a slave of this “delicacy” as well, accompanying him in indulging in a frenzy eating spree. If not for having to carry out appropriate ‘exercises’ after each meal to help in the digestion of bioactive element substance, Greem would surely change all of his regular meals into magical energy meals.
For the following days, every morning was spent on studying for magic knowledge, be it rain or shine. Greem utilized fully the help of the Chip, instilling the huge amount of knowledge he learned into his brain, then saved them in a systematic manner.
Noon time was the most important time of the day, being the time to enjoy the various delicacy available to them. Both of them had already tried every single one of the magical energy meals that was provided by the Adept Tower, but chose to eat the one that suited them the most. Greem still preferred the Fried Heart of a Flaming Hound while Mary enjoyed drinking the blood of a Wyvern.
The insanely high daily meal expenditure of fifty magic crystals had caused their Physique to skyrocket. Currently, Greem would have daily increase of 0.3 to his Physique. As for Mary, although she didn’t experience such an incredible development, she was still euphoric, showing a look of satisfaction and contentment.
After they finished eating, it was finally time for appropriate “exercises” where Mary would give Greem a good beating. Greem practically turned into a high quality human punching bag, brutally tortured by Mary.
Facing Mary who had used her full speed from the get-go, Greem was forced to wear his Circlet of Nobility and only then can he barely make out her flickering figure. Whenever his palms holding scorching flames moved slower, he would be rewarded with five bloody shallow scratches on his body.
For the first three days, Greem’s body would be full of wounds after every fight. His body which had just grown a bit sturdy looked like it had been used as a scratching post by more than a hundred catwomen at the same time, was full of crisscrossing scratch marks.
It was all due to her stubbornness, not wanting to let Greem suppress her in their daily practice. Even if it was just once, she refused to accept that. This mentality made her willing to endure such a tremendously painful torture, her firm and outrageous attitude had deeply moved Greem.
Looking into his own heart, if he was in her position, he would definitely be unable to achieve this!
Having to face this firm girl who was fierce to her enemies but even fiercer to herself, Greem could only secretly admire her inside his mind!
But at the same time, Greem secretly gave the Chip another research topic to work on.
How to manipulate the Fire Shield using his Spirit, so that he would be able to avoid the cumulative damage caused by the enemy’s multiple attacks on the same spot?
Unfortunately, ever since the fifth day of their training, Mary had stopped dragging Greem over to the arena. Contrary to her normal behavior, she immersed herself in the public library of the Adept Tower, spending every day and night reading through books, searching for the possible methods of breaking through Elementium magic shields.
This made Greem’s heart fill with anxiety once more!
