"Yes, something doesn't add up." Felberta nodded as well. "The Physique belongs to me, and the Sword Aura belongs to Astaria." Amaya spoke as she glanced at Nux before looking back at Thyra. Thyra narrowed her eyes. Astaria glanced at Amaya as well. "What do you mean?" Felberta questioned. "Nux's System helped him get my Physique, originally, it did not belong to him. The same goes for Astaria, she was the one who discovered the Sword Aura, Nux only learned it from her. I am not saying my Devouring Demon Physique is stronger than Nux's, or Astaria's sword Aura is better than Nux's. I am just that Astaria's understanding of the Sword Aura is stronger than Nux's. And similarly, my understanding of the Devouring Mist Demon Physique is stronger than his as well." Hearing those words, Nux narrowed his eyes in doubt. Astaria, he understood, since she developed that technique from the scratch, it is completely believable that her understanding is better than his. However, the same could not be said about Amaya. Nux was a thousand percent sure that his understanding of the Devouring Mist was a lot higher than hers. And as if knowing what he was thinking, Amaya replied, "Keep in mind that I am talking about the understanding of the Physique, not the Mist." "What's the difference?" "Have you lived all your life knowing that there is some poisonous Mist inside your body? No matter how much you try, you would never get above a specific level without a technique crafted specifically for you? The Mist and Physique are not the same things, Nux. I understand my 'Physique' more than you." Hearing those words, Nux turned silent. Understanding the Physique… This might very well be the answer to his question… He has always felt that he had completely understood the Mist and was unable to find any way to upgrade his Physique's Mastery level, now, however, things were clearer. It was not the Mist, What he needed to understand, was the Physique… And according to the System, the current him is just incapable of understanding the Physique. That was not a good news. However, Nux didn't care. He now knew what to do next. Although he still didn't know how to do it, he was sure he will find the answer eventually. "I understand what you are talking about." Nux replied and nodded at Amaya. The other women still didn't understand much of this conversation, but they just decided not to think about it since it was related to Physique, which, they knew nothing about. Astaria understood some parts of it because she could relate it to her Sword Aura, however, others didn't have anything like that. Nux realized that, and since he got a probable answer to why Astaria and Amaya had such a devastatingly high Potential, he decided to focus more on other things now. "System Shop." He called out. The women's expressions turned serious as well. A new screen appeared in front of Nux. [System Shop] [Cultivation Techniques] [Mana Techniques.] [1 Star Cultivation Techniques – 100 System points] … … [7 Star Cultivation Techniques – 10000 System points] The interface was pretty similar to before, however, this time, the System had segregated the Body and Mana Cultivation techniques before clicking it, making it easier for Nux to search through. Of course, the most important thing was something else. [7 Star Cultivation Techniques – 10,000 System points] [8 Star Cultivation Techniques – 100,000 System points] [9 Star Cultivation Techniques – 1,000,000 System points] [10 Star Cultivation Techniques – 10,000,000 System points] [11 Star Cultivation Techniques – 100,000,000 System points] [12 Star Cultivation Techniques – 1,000,000,000 System points] [13 Star Cultivation Techniques – 10,000,000,000 System points] This time, the 8 Star Cultivation Techniques were not blackened out. Nux could not buy them, not only 8 Star, Nux now had options till 13 Star!! 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚 13 Star Cultivation techniques!! Just how absurdly strong would they be!? Nux couldn't even think about it. Of course, that wasn't the only thing Nux couldn't think about. He couldn't think of buying those techniques either… 10,000,000,000 System Points… Nux had a heart attack counting those numbers of 0s. His eyes quickly moved towards the System Points he currently had and, [Current System Points: 93,453] A wry smile appeared on his face. He was confident about his System Points, he had collected a lot of them after all. But now… It all just… Felt useless… Just continued scrolling, [Weapons] [1 Star Weapons – 10 System points] … … [7 Star Weapons – 1000 System points] [8 Star Weapons – 10,000 System points] … … [13 Star Weapons – 1,000,000,000 System points] [Abilities] [1 Star Abilities – 100 System points] … … [7 Star Abilities – 10,000 System points] [8 Star Abilities – 100,000 System points] … … [13 Star Abilities – 10,000,000,000 System points] [Current System Points: 93,453] Nux quickly passed through all the items and then, his eyes finally fell on something strange. [Skill Books] [Elemental Skills] [1 Star Skill Books – 10 System points] … … [7 Star Skill Books – 1000 System points] There were no Skill books related to Body Cultivation anymore. However, Nux didn't think too much about it, the Body Cultivation Skill Books were nothing but a very basic level Mana Manipulation with very less output, it was practically useless and was something he could create on his own. So whether those Skill Books were available or not didn't matter. What did matter, however, was something else. There were no 8-Star Skills. No, it was better to say that rather than skills, [Spells] [8 Star Spells – 10,000] … … [13 Star Spells – 1,000,000,000] Yes, rather than Skills, the shop had spells. There were no 1 to 7 Star Spells, it directly started from 8 Star Level. 'What are spells?' This was the first question in Nux's mind. Curious, Nux quickly selected the 8 Star Spells option and the moment he did, he raised his eyebrow in surprise. [Fireball] [Fire Arrow] [Wind Blade] [Wind Barrior] [Water Shot] … … [Earth Wall] … Reading the names of all these 8 Star Spells, Nux couldn't help but blink his eyes a few times. 'Why the fuck do all these 8 Star Spells sound so weak and basic?' He couldn't understand this at all.
