Golden Fox with System

After having lunch with his companions, Theo returned to the Workshop. The kids also wanted to cultivate, so Theo didn't mind and let them do so. It would be even better for Yuki to join them because then she could also cultivate with them.

"Wow! That's amazing!" The orphanage kids and the girls exclaimed loudly.

They were soon taken aback! Theo had used his illusion to the fullest within the Workshop, changing the whole environment to now look very much like a majestic forest with giant trees, surrounded by beautiful flowers, butterflies flying and birds singing. It was something they didn't expect to see.

"Daddy, this is awesome!" Little Yui hugged Theo and said with stars shining in her eyes.

"Haha, it is, isn't it? But don't get too excited just yet… because your father here intends to do something even more amazing later." Theo smiled.

"Ohhh, Yui can't wait to see!" Little Yui said with a cute smile.

Theo thought, "This is only level 3… let's see what I can do when I get to level 5 or 6 or maybe even 10!" Theo's eyes shone. He really hoped that no such Sect would mess with them, but if they dared to try, he would hardly let them off with just an apology.

At worst, if they were to send even stronger people, Theo would have to use the Dimensional Room to hide his companions and the kids from the orphanage.

His other concern was that they were after his "Panic!" character. "I'm not going to wear that appearance nearby, for now. I don't want to risk it and be discovered. Even if they can't catch me right now, it could still hinder my growth." He mused.

Theo sat cross-legged on the floor, performing his cultivation technique to regain his lost Mana. He was currently restoring his Mana while still using the illusion technique, so it didn't take long for it to upgrade to level 4. Thanks to that, Theo's mouth curved into a smile.

But he didn't stop cultivating, even though it was hard for him to keep using both at the same time, because of his excellent control of mental power. It was a great help, and thanks to that, he was managing to keep it going. Although not the same as when he uses the technique to increase his Divine Sense, he could see a slight improvement in it all the same, because it was putting a lot of pressure on his mind.

Soon, the children and Shina were even more surprised, as the level of detail in the illusion was increasing, even little dragons were flying around. The kids were a bit scared to see this but were reassured by Yuki and the others.

But little Yui was already euphoric, she was so excited since for her it was all very fantastic and beautiful! She had already stopped cultivating, and in a few moments, she was chasing butterflies. A moment later, she was flying around, going after the dragons. What most surprised everyone was that these illusions were so real that little Yui was fighting one of these dragon illusions.

"How is Theo doing this? This is awesome!" Yuki thought.

Shina and the others had similar thoughts. Though they couldn't help but be surprised by this.

Of course, these illusions were all under Theo's control. Even though little Yui was fighting a dragon, the supposed dragon didn't make very heavy attacks, because they were all under Theo's command!

Despite being proud of his idea to increase his skill level, Theo was still not satisfied. He wanted to try to grow even more.

[Congratulations! You have reached: 2nd Layer of the Apprentice Wizard Kingdom]

"Ohh, that's good too!" Theo smiled but continued to cultivate, however happy he was with his advancement, he knew he needed to become even better.

Although it sounded a little strange, because the amount of Mana he was using and replacing wasn't something a person would generally be able to do, Theo didn't think he was the only one who could do something like this. However, he was sure if they had, it wouldn't be too many, because the techniques he was using were challenging to obtain.

Usually, when he had an advance in his cultivation, Theo would be happy and would give them the news, but this time, he preferred to continue cultivating, it would not be too late to tell them about it later anyway.

"This is beyond my expectations, I didn't expect it would improve so fast!" Theo exclaimed in his heart, "Even my Lineage cells are filling at a voracious pace. Despite being a big strain on my mental state, I can still keep doing this for a few more hours!"

Time passed as minutes turned into hours. Soon more than five hours had passed while Theo was still cultivating this way.

[Congratulations! Your Ability <Illusion of the Nine Heavens> has reached Level 5]

The moment Theo saw the message, flames shone in his eyes. He was thrilled with this improvement, it was even better than he had expected!

"Haha, I'm getting closer to a perfect illusion each time! But I think it's already high enough to fool anyone in the Wizard Kingdom. Although that Elder was in the 11th layer of the Wizard Kingdom. I still think she would be fooled by this illusion." Theo strongly believed that, but still, as long as he could raise the bar even higher, he will continue to try.

Many of the children had stopped cultivating; only little Alice, Eloah and little Yui had continued. Because of this, Zaira and Leticia volunteered to take care of the children, letting Yuki, Shina and Zaika cultivate quietly.

Nanda and the others had closed the Weapons Shop by now, returning to the orphanage for the night. They looked quite pleased to come back, as they managed to sell almost every weapon in the store today! These great Sects went into the shop and bought almost everything. Although it was a substantial sum for others, it was only a small amount of gold to them.

But of course, they only purchased the medium quality ones or better. There were still some left, the ones Theo made first back when he was still too low in strength and was also learning how to use the forge. But still, for some people they were great. It was better than fighting without one.
