Chapter 247 – New Fork City
While President Albert was heading to the kitchen, most of the airship's occupants had already healed their eardrums, though a few were still in the process of recovery. Unaware that the threat had been neutralized, they remained on high alert, their vigilance and defensive asures fully activated.
A few monts later, Elder Arjun's voice echoed through the airship's sound system. "Attention, everyone. A Commander-Level Demonic Owl targeted the airship, but the threat has been neutralized. You may stand down." His calm announcent imdiately eased the tension, and the crew began to relax.
anwhile, Leyvi had remained calm throughout the entire event. In fact, he had been observing everything from the start. He was the first to detect the Demonic Owl chasing the airship. Even in the darkness of the night, sothing that large and aggressive couldn't escape his spiritual sense, even if he hadn't been paying close attention.
Leyvi felt puzzled. Why had this Commander-Level Demonic Owl been bold enough to attack them when all others had kept their distance? Was this a common demonic beast's behavior in the Central Region? The question lingered in his mind, but he chose not to intervene.
Instead, he stayed in his cabin, quietly observing how the Alchemy Association would handle the situation. It was a rare opportunity to see their capabilities in action, and Leyvi wasn't one to miss such a chance.
And so, Leyvi had witnessed the entirety of President Albert's fight, including the part Anda had missed. Among the Core Formation cultivators on the airship, only Leyvi and Lin Wei erged completely unscathed from the Demonic Owl's terrifying screech. As body cultivators, the screech from the Demonic Owl wasn't enough to burst their eardrum, only enough to make them uncomfortable.
Ava Clover, a pure body cultivator, was also unhard. Surprisingly, among the other Core Formation cultivators, Lilian had sustained the least injury—only a slight rupture of her eardrums. Her cabin, filled with dense vegetation, had acted as a natural sound absorber, dampening the screech's impact.
As Leyvi reflected on the battle, he couldn't help but consider his own capabilities. If he had been in President Albert's position, facing hundreds of large, bullet-like spinning feathers, he would have been seriously injured even with his tough body, unless he had a powerful defensive thod like the cylindrical firewall or the speed to dodge the attack entirely.
For now, his movent speed was largely restricted by his cultivation realm, making significant improvent unlikely in the short term. That left him with one clear option: developing a strong defensive technique.
Among the ans currently available to him, the Great Eruption Martial Skill stood out. It included a technique called the Great Lava Shield, which created a barrier of cooled lava reinforced with volcanic rock. This shield could absorb impacts and withstand even powerful attacks, making it an ideal defensive asure for situations like the one he had just witnessed.
Leyvi suddenly felt a sense of urgency to master the Great Eruption Martial Skill as quickly as possible. However, he imdiately suppressed the impulse. Wishing to learn faster wouldn't magically make it happen. He knew that rushing would only lead to mistakes and delay his progress further. After all, he had never been one to hurry things unnecessarily. Steady and consistent effort had always been his approach.
As he cald his thoughts, Leyvi's spiritual sense picked up on President Albert and Anda in the kitchen, watching the chefs prepare a variety of dishes using the Demonic Owl's at. His eyes lit up with interest. While he had tasted plenty of High-Level Demonic Beast at, he had never had the opportunity to try Commander-Level at. The prospect was undeniably exciting.
Two days later, an announcent echoed through the airship.
"Attention, everyone! It's your favorite president again, Albert Wood, the owner of this luxurious airship. As a luxurious airship, it's only natural to show off its luxuriousness, so I'm treating everyone to multiple dishes made from Commander-Level Demonic Owl at. I'm sure most of you have never consud at of this level before, so this is your chance! My ten personal Nascent Soul Chefs prepared it! It was a difficult task to make them, you know."
"This is the sa owl that caused the disturbance two days ago, courting its own death. If you were injured by its stupid screech, feel free to eat it to exact your revenge! Hahahaha! Just wait in your cabin, and soone will deliver the food shortly. Happy feasting! Spread my good na!"
The announcent ended, leaving Leyvi both amused and impressed. "Don't worry, President Albert. I'll help promote your good na to so beautiful mature won. Hahaha!"
Leyvi was genuinely surprised by President Albert's generosity. He had been hoping to taste the Commander-Level at, and now his wish was being granted. The anticipation made him even more eager for the al to arrive.
Fifteen minutes later, Anda arrived at Leyvi's cabin with Lilian, Valenia, and Ava in tow, carrying the promised dishes. The table was soon filled with an array of als, each one exuding a rich, enticing aroma.
"Hahaha! Although the food doesn't look as amazing as what Tasya and the others make, I can feel the energy radiating from it. As expected of Commander-Level Demonic Beast at," Leyvi comnted, sniffing the air appreciatively.
Anda chuckled. "Hehe. President Albert gave
so leftover at. We can have Tasya make sothing even better with it when we return later."
"Oho~ Looks like his student got so preferential treatnt. You must have been a good student," Leyvi teased, a playful grin on his face.
Anda pouted. "Hmph, I don't feel like a good student at all. I feel like a dumb student because he's a true genius. Comparing myself to him only makes
feel demoralized," she said, half-serious.
"Is that so? Maybe you can join Mr. Bison and Dorin's group now. Hahaha!" Leyvi joked.
Anda rolled her eyes. She felt dumb, not delusional, thank you very much.
"Alright, everyone. Let's dig in!" Leyvi couldn't wait any longer. He grabbed a piece of barbecued at and took a big bite.
As soon as he swallowed, he felt a surge of energy coursing through his body. His eyes brightened with surprise. The at of a Commander-Level Demonic Beast contained far more energy than he had expected. But that wasn't all—he also noticed a subtle body enhancent effect, sothing he had never experienced with lower level Demonic Beast at.
The enhancent was minimal, but it was there. Leyvi's mind raced. Why did the at have this effect? Could it be due to the awakened bloodline of Commander-Level Demonic Beasts? That had to be it. He couldn't think of any other explanation.
The ladies quickly followed Leyvi's lead and began eating the at. Like him, they felt the surge of energy and the subtle body enhancent effect. For Anda, Valenia, and Lilian, the enhancent was even more pronounced since they weren't body cultivators. The at's potent energy seed to fill gaps in their physical resilience, leaving them feeling stronger and more revitalized.
As for Ava, she had lived for over two hundred years and had experienced Commander-Level Demonic Beast at a few tis before. While the at was incredibly beneficial for a pure body cultivator like her, it wasn't sothing she could consu regularly. Commander-Level Demonic Beasts were not only rare but also extrely powerful, making their at prohibitively expensive. The Clover Family had already invested heavily in her body cultivation, and supplying her with this level of at was beyond their ans.
Faced with such a rare opportunity, Ava held nothing back. She devoured the at like a glutton, paying no attention to savoring the taste or maintaining her manners. Her focus was solely on absorbing as much of the at's energy as possible.
"Are you that hungry, Ava?" Leyvi asked, surprised by her voracious eating.
"Don't disturb
eating, Sex Fiend," Ava shot back, her mouth full of at. "This is the only way I can get stronger for now. My body cultivation thod has reached its limit."
Leyvi nodded in understanding. He could sense the desperation in her words. She must have been anxious, stuck at a plateau for so long. "Is that so? Then you can eat as much as you want," he said generously. He didn't mind eating less; he had only wanted to experience the at for the first ti. For Ava, this was a rare chance to break through her stagnation, and he was happy to support her.
Although Ava didn't like him and was only his wife in na, he would still treat her as he would his other wives. If she needed sothing he would try his best to help her.
"You know, you're actually not that bad," Ava said, tilting her head toward Leyvi while still munching on the at.
"Hahaha! Good! Now you finally see how great I am. You can stop calling
Sex Fiend now," Leyvi replied, grinning.
"I said you're not that bad. aning you're still bad, but only a little less. Sex Fiend!" Ava countered, her tone teasing but firm.
"Uhh..." Leyvi was left speechless, his grin fading into a look of mild defeat.
Valenia smiled satisfyingly as she watched Leyvi's expression. He always enjoyed teasing her, and with Anda's support, the two of them often ganged up on her. Maybe it was ti for her to team up with Ava to get back at him. The thought brought a mischievous glint to her eyes.
Another month passed.
"Ahem! Attention, attention! This is your generous president, the one who treated you to amazing Commander-Level Demonic Beast at last month. In another hour, we will arrive at the cultivator city nearest to the Mystic Realm entrance—New Fork City. All of the people entering the Mystic Realm will gather here first. So, pack up your stuff right away and make sure the cabin you stayed in is clean. If I spot any dirt or stains, get ready to experience my spitting wrath!"
The announcent ended.
