Chapter 1348 It will take some time. 1348 It will take some time. "If I just need to increase my strength, shouldn't I simply break through and become a Saint?" Nux questioned, unable to understand why Vyriana wanted him to hold back even now. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢 "That will simply increase the threshold even further, the main aim here is not to increase your strength but to find the threshold... if there is any..." Vyriana replied, Nux nodded in understanding as he then summoned another ball of flame on top of his hand, by now, the number of times he had repeated the same action was so high that he felt like he could do this even when he was asleep. Not that he had any complaints though... well, he did but he couldn't say it out loud, especially considering the fact that the Dragon and his mother had decided to spend their entire time together with him to observe the changes and help him in any way possible. Whoosh BOOOM Once again, the tireless Spellcasting started. Day or night didn't matter, Nux continued to cast more and more fireballs, heck, he had become so proficient in it that he decided to take out a comfortable bed and lied down on it as he continued to fire fireballs. Vyriana and Faustina, who were observing his actions couldn't help but stare at each other helplessly, they wanted to say something, however, seeing that there was absolutely no change in the strength of the Skill even though it was used in such a... disrespectful manner, there was nothing they could say. In the end, Nux continued to use the skill while lying on the bed. Vyriana and Faustina continued to observe the changes in the strength of his Spell. They also made sure to give him constant rest just so the effects of his Human Blood that strengthened the Skill even further dies down and they can calculate the rate of improvement in a more precise manner. "It is slowing down..." Vyriana muttered. Faustina, who stood right beside her nodded as well. Another year had passed, this time, however, the improvement in the Skill's strength wasn't very high, heck, it was much lower than what Nux was expecting. Yes, with him using the skill continuously throughout the year, the strength continuously increased as well, however, while the strength of the Skill had become somewhat comparable to a lower end 4 Star Skill, the only change that took place this year was now comparable to a higher end 4 Star Skill. Of course, considering that this happened just in a year, almost any cultivator would kill to have such a monstrous improvement rate, however, the thing was, the rate of improvement was slowing down even further. By the next year, Nux even doubted if he could reach the level of a 5 Star Skill. The result and the effort he put in weren't matching in this case. "Maybe it is the sign that we are closing into the Threshold," Vyriana spoke, and once again, Faustina nodded at her words. The two women then stared at Nux and the man just looked at him with a deadpan look on his face, "Alright alright, I will get to it." Honestly, he was already missing his wives. After all, even though it was only a little more than a week in Yrniel, for him, 2 whole years had passed. He could have stayed sane if he was doing something... more interactive, however, the darn task was just so monotonous that even he, who was personally trained by Vyriana for around 200 years couldn't help but feel like dying. He even tried interacting with the two women next to him, however, the two were quick to shut him off, it was as if the two of them were crazed scientists who had received an unknown specimen and they were now busy conducting studies on it. They shut him off the instant he say something and only interacted with him when he was allowed to 'rest'. And as if sensing his thoughts, Nux's shadow trembled. Nux, who noticed the change in his monotonous schedule in an instant brightened up and the moment his Lane materialized, he grabbed the woman and buried his face in her ample breasts. Lane, who blinked in surprise at the welcome she received was quick to react as she tightly grabbed her husband's head and buried it even further into her breasts, then, she started gently ruffling his hair and a smile so beautiful that it could melt even the coldest of hearts appeared on her face and, "I missed you." She spoke. 'I missed you as well,' Nux replied using the telepathic connection, after all, his mouth was in no condition to utter any words. It was currently in the world's most blissful face. Lane's smile widened, she continued to ruffle Nux's hair, completely ignoring the two women staring at her. Vyriana narrowed her eyes as she saw the scene in front of her, it was clear that she didn't appreciate Lane's presence. "You said you would return after becoming a Divine," Obviously, the Divine Stage was not a joke, even though she had already formed her Law and her Path was clear, just breaking into the Divine Stage was a big task that required years, if not decades. Even someone like Lane couldn't pull that off so quickly. Lane, who heard Vyriana's words finally glanced at the two women for the first time, the smile on her face didn't fade away, she just glanced at Faustina and, "Amaya is awake." "Amaya?" Faustina frowned. Soon, however, her eyes widened in realization and, "She's awake? That's good." She could finally take in a disciple. Seeing the excited smile on her face, Lane warned, "Don't be too optimistic though." "What do you mean?" Faustina frowned. Lane, however, simply turned her attention back to Nux and, "You will know when you meet her." Faustina's frown deepened, soon however, she just shrugged, not bothering to ask anymore as she then disappeared. "..." Vyriana, on the other hand, stared at the woman in front of her, and this time, she questioned directly, "Now that you have delivered the message, when are you going to leave?" Lane frowned, she could sense that Vyriana seemed different than her usual self. She seemed more... protective...? No, protective wasn't the correct description, she seemed... jealous. Which, Lane found quite surprising, Lane, however, being Lane, completely ignored everything around her and, "It will take some time." She replied as her Shadow then surrounded both her and Nux and without waiting any further, the clothes were removed.
