Chapter 559 She Rejected Me.
"Y-You are saying that… you can d-double your current strength… like, right now?"
"I can."
'Fucking monster.'
Astaria couldn't believe what she was hearing.
How can someone just… increase his strength like that?
Was she a fool for cultivating diligently for so many years?
Just what the hell is wrong with this boy?
"Ridiculous. Absolutely Ridiculous."
Arvina, on the other hand, was one step ahead.
"Teacher."
She directly called Astaria and,
"I am taking my leave, I feel that if I stay too close to this boy, I will cough up blood and die. This is absolutely ridiculous."
Saying that, Arvina turned around and walked away.
"…"
Astaria didn't know how to stop her either.
To be honest, even she wanted to leave.
This boy…
She glanced at Nux, who was smiling wryly as he glanced at Arvina who was walking away.
"You are a monster."
Astaria commented.
"I am even better in bed."
Nux replied.
"…"
Astaria's mouth twitched.
"Anyway, what should I do? Should I increase my Strenght? Or Stamina? Or should I increase everything evenly?"
Nux questioned.
"I still do not know how this magic of yours works," Astaria replied.
Hearing that, Nux dragged his body and sat up.
"Alright then, let me explain you properly then.
I have a magic that allows me to see my overall strength in numbers."
"Numbers?" Astaria frowned as she sat next to Nux.
Looking at the two of them sitting next to each other on the ground, one would think they were close, not that there would be anything wrong with that assumption.
Suddenly, a paper appeared in Nux's hand.
He quickly wrote his stats on the paper and explained,
"I can see my stats this way."
"Strength, Agility, Vitality, Stamina, Mana, Defense… an interesting way to look at things."
Astaria commented.
"Mhm, it does give you a decent idea of how things work, let me show you the stats of a normal King Stage Cultivator.
Nux then wrote down the stats of a normal King Stage Cultivator and Astaria's expression changed when she saw it.
"Y-You are twice as strong as a King Stage Cultivator."
"Mhm, that's true."
Nux nodded.
"That's why fighting against King Stage Cultivators poses no threat to me."
Nux explained.
"So what you are saying is that you have these 192 Black Points… that you can use to increase any of these… stats…?"
"Yes, that is correct. I didn't feel like I had to use them, however, with all the Emperors coming into the picture, I believe that using these Blank Points is important.
And currently, only you can help me distribute them."
"Do your wives know about this magic?" Suddenly, Astaria questioned.
"They know everything."
Nux replied.
He knew they wouldn't understand much about this 'System' he had.
To be honest, even he didn't know much about this System, however, he still has told them everything about his abilities, the weapons and techniques that he buys, he told them everything when he was talking about his past life.
"Then why didn't you ask that Ember? She was a General, wasn't she? I am sure she could help you."
"As I said, I didn't feel the need to use these points, now, however, things are different.
And since I already have the best person to help me with this, why would I ask someone else?"
"Heeh? Are you saying I am better than your wife?" Astaria teased.
"When it comes to commanding an army in a battle, she is a lot better than you."
Nux's answer was simple.
"How can you be so sure about that?"
"Have you ever led an army before?"
"I alone, am better than an army."
A quick look at 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚 will leave y𝑜u more fulfilled.
Astaria answered arrogantly.
"…"
Nux didn't know how to answer that.
"Anyways, so tell me, what should I put my blank points on."
Nux changed the topic.
This time, Astaria had a better understanding of Nux's ability, therefore, she started pondering.
Then, after thinking deeply about it, she replied,
"Use 89 points on Mana. Increase it all the way up to 300.
Mana is the most important attribute for anyone.
Having more Mana would not only help you when you become an Emperor, but it would also even help you now since it would allow you to use more Skills."
"Alright."
Nux nodded.
Even he was thinking about using INT, with 3000 MP, he would be able to use his abilities and skills in a better way.
"What about rest?"
He questioned.
"Well, you need stamina, and everything, however, I suggest you stop here."
"Hmm?"
"Let's continue with our spars, the more we spar, the more we would realize what you are missing and we would work on that.
As for the problem with your stamina, well, we would increase your stamina, however, we would do it later.
No matter what, you would never have endless stamina, you need to adapt and understand how to fight while preserving your stamina.
If we increase your stamina now, achieving that would be difficult."
"So you are saying that we would continue to increase my stats while we spar?"
"Yes. That is correct."
"Mhm, that's a good idea."
Nux nodded in understanding.
Astaria nodded as well.
"Heh… I knew it was better to just ask you rather than doing it on my own."
Suddenly, Nux laughed.
Astaria shook her head in helplessness.
"Nux."
Suddenly, she called out.
"Hmm? What is it?"
"You know Arvina likes you, don't you?"
Astaria questioned as she turned towards Nux.
Nux's expression changed and a wry smile appeared on his face,
"I don't know about that…" he replied weakly.
Astaria narrowed her eyes, "Don't act innocent, there is no way you haven't noticed it already."
"I proposed to Teacher Arvina before," Nux revealed.
"And?" Astaria waited for Nux to continue.
"She rejected me."
"So you gave up?" Astaria questioned.
"Do I have another choice?" Nux questioned back.
"Oh? Why didn't I have this option? I rejected you countless times already." Astaria tilted her head and teased.
Nux looked into Astaria's eyes and smiled,
"If you really want me to stop, just say the word and I will.
Just say, 'I do not like you Nux. You and I, can't happen. So stop harassing me.' 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭．𝑛𝘦𝘵
Just say these words with the utmost serious expression and I would step back."
