The Rise of the Black Plain

While the 130 soldiers cultivating in that room were trying with all their strength to endure the disgusting smell of those toxins, Minos' body quickly stopped releasing such impurities.

When this happened, every single black drop that had previously been coming out of his body was suddenly repelled. At the same time, his white skin reappeared to whoever was watching him.

However, this time every centimeter of this young man's body looked more attractive, with his muscles more pronounced, more flexible, with fewer blemishes and imperfections. Meanwhile, he was more resilient, and every part of his body now had a more powerful regeneration factor!

However, while the external changes drew the attention of everyone, particularly the women, the most significant change to Minos' body occurred on his interior.

The overall quality of his body had risen to a new level, something that this young man had never even come close to achieving before. And although his Physique was still evolving and his cultivation level had not yet stabilized, at this moment, the young Stuart already felt a sense of lightness that was indescribable.

He felt incredible strength in every fiber of his body. This sensation grew stronger as he felt the shackles of his Physique relax as if a 'new' Minos was about to be born.

"Ohh!" He made a sound of satisfaction, still with his eyes closed.

At the same time, he felt that his Physique was gradually reaching the King-grade classification, and the energy increase factor given by his innate ability was rising!

Previously he had an energy increase factor of 10%. But, now that he was almost done rising to the next rank, he felt that his permanent energy increase factor had already passed 18% and was still growing!

And while feeling all these sensations, young Stuart was beginning to feel his compatibility with the Natural Laws increase, while a flow of invisible power seemed to penetrate his soul.

"Feel that!"

"The young master is increasing his compatibility with the laws!" One of the many soldiers watching Minos outside that cultivation room shouted, making everyone hear him.

"Incredible!"

"The young master's understanding seems so dense that I feel as if my consciousness is floating on a boat in the middle of a grand ocean!" Someone commented aloud while having his eyes closed and feeling what was happening to Minos as he probed that young man.

On the other hand, Ruth and Abby were also feeling the changes in Minos as they had smiles on their faces.

'Now that Minos has reached level 50, I can't fall behind! I have to push myself to get there as fast as possible!' Abby thought to herself as she realized how solid the fluctuations of the laws around Minos were.

On the other hand, although Ruth was delighted with all this, she was also puzzled by a few things... 'It seems that he truly did have a Warrior-grade Physique.'

'How is that possible?'

'My master can't have made a mistake in finding out such a basic thing... I wonder what happened to him? Maybe this has something to do with all those Silver-grade techniques he has?'

But while Minos' two girlfriends had different thoughts regarding his advancement, he was at the moment finishing feeling the increased compatibility of his soul with some of the Natural Laws.

That was very comfortable, and it seemed as if he had finally gotten the answers to some of his questions regarding how to use his spiritual techniques. But for now, he only had the theory and would still need to put these findings to the test to know exactly his new capabilities.

'Hmm, I'm almost done...' He thought to himself for a moment.

At the same time, he sensed that most of that medicine energy had already escaped his body and was circulating in the room's surroundings, where those soldiers were absorbing it.

After a few minutes, all the energy of that King-grade medicine left Minos' body, and this young man finally felt the classification of his Physique stabilizing at King-grade!

Such a thing had wholly changed the quality of the cells in this young man's body, to the point that if we were to compare his before and after, it wouldn't be all wrong to say that he had changed species!

But besides the physical characteristics that had been greatly strengthened, what had benefited most here was this young man's innate ability.

When the progression had finally ended, the energy increase factor had stopped growing when it had reached the 20% mark. But at the same time, where this young man's energy reserves had increased significantly because of this, he was also feeling a bizarre sensation at the moment...

'What is it?' Minos asked himself seriously as he felt the auras of all the people on that top floor of the headquarters' cultivation tower.

He felt as if each of those fluctuations had gained some compatibility with his own all of a sudden. Or maybe it was better to say that his soul had synchronized with those people's?

He couldn't say for sure. But the fact was that Minos was feeling this sense for the first time in his life and was full of questions at the moment.

'What does this mean? Maybe this is the beginning of a new way of using my ability? But what could this compatibility mean?' He wondered as he tried to use such a thing.

"Ahh, I'll leave that aside for now..." He muttered after realizing that he couldn't do anything about it at the moment.

After doing so, he immediately began to pay attention to his increased total power.

Previously he had been focused on using that massive energy released by that medicine from before to evolve his Physique while at the same time increasing his cultivation stage. As such, he had not paid attention to how his characteristics had improved.

But now that he had finished doing those two things, young Stuart began to analyze his gains after that weirdness from before.

'My vitality has doubled once again, and now I can cultivate longer without having to stop to rest. I will also be able to sleep less, go longer without eating...' So, he thought to himself as he counted his gains.

'Regarding my physical strength, I think that I am already as strong as a level 38 being, even without my spiritual techniques.'

"Hmm, now I'm probably faster and more resilient than beasts below the 4th stage of cultivation." He muttered as he smiled.

In fact, at the present moment, if he wanted to travel on foot through this region, he would already be able to run for longer and at a higher speed than beasts at the 3rd stage. And this even without using his movement technique!

He didn't need such a thing, but this was important to him since if he could do even such a thing, everyday things would become even easier. For example, he would be less tired at work; he could spend more time with his girlfriends and with a more significant number of women... In addition, he would recover more quickly from injuries, training, etc.

The advantages of having a powerful body were many since most of the cultivators' lives didn't involve life and death fights but those common everyday situations. On the other hand, spiritual energy would always run out sooner or later, something different from physical strength.

Unless someone had crippled parts of his body, even if such a person was without spiritual energy, he could still fight, run, in short, live.

Finally, after feeling the basics about his body, Minos stood up from where he was standing and opened his eyes.

As he did so, he immediately used his spiritual energy to destroy all those toxins. Meanwhile, he was looking from side to side, seeing that those soldiers were taking advantage of this opportunity he gave them.

But even though the smell of that place had become terrible, it didn't take long for those soldiers to forget about it. After all, with their advances, something similar to what had happened to Minos earlier was now happening to each of them...

"They're almost done...." Minos muttered as he watched in the direction of Alina, who by now had reached level 40!!
