Chapter 39: Cultivation

*Bam*

*BOOM*

*CREAK*

*SWOSH*

*CRACK*

In an open frozen place, a series of powerful punches and kicks landed on the ground. Creating a hole and leaving traces of the fist and kick.

The trees have a first embedded in their trunks and the leaves fell as a punch landed on the tree. The place was continuously filled with snow and ice, the sun shone in the morning but wasn't able to melt the snow and ice.

The person punching and kicking at the tree none stop was not wearing anything on her feet, each time she punch her, her feet make a small hole.

*CREAK*

*THUD*

The tree fell to the ground with the last punch from the person.

*Huff*Huff*Huff*

[Host congratulations on breaking through] Thana hailed her host

"T..haaa..Thank you thana" Aurora said tiredly and crashed on the pile of leaves

[Host, are you okay] Thana asks worriedly

"I'm fine thana, I'm just going to have a shut my eyes for a bit" Aurora Lowly mumbled as her heavy eyes closed and fell into dreamland

Thana set up a protective formation around her host, Aurora had been training for almost a month without rest. Still, she pushed her limits to the max.

Her cultivation reaches the peak of the Grandmaster stage, only a step away from the immortal stage. Looking at Aurora who was peacefully sleeping

She grew a bit taller and her body became tone, though her body is thin it had a pack of muscles on them. Living here for a month honestly opened Thana's horizon.

['The host gained more skills.... Cool']

Thana closed the panel and opened the shop to see if there's are new products released by the main system. Thana scrolled through the shop and stopped

[System Companion - a system created by the main system, to give system taskers a companion or partner for life. It will be random when summoned]

Thana was silent for a while, and skip that she's doesn't want to have a partner for now. She still needs to help her host in gaining happiness before she can have a partner.

Thana continue scrolling and then saw another new product.

[Find a match - this can help the host to find a match in the insular world]

[This... Maybe I should ask my host before purchasing it]

Thana closed the shop and went to slumber waiting for her host to wake up.

********************************

Meanwhile, in the office of the Gu family, two beauties are doing there their responsibility when one of them got a call from that 'person'.

[Ding]

Elizabeth's phone dinged, she slightly glanced at it then her eyes widen.

*Bam*

She slammed the table startling Vera and looked at her

"What's wrong with you Eli?" Vera asks confusedly

"That bastard is investigating our baby" Elizabeth gritted her teeth

Vera's eyes suddenly turned cold colder than ice, he dared to move against my baby. Does he want to die that early?.

Vera phoned a person

????: Yes miss

"Make sure Sean doesn't get any information about Aurora," Vera said coldly

????: Yes miss

Elizabeth then played the recording that was sent on a loudspeaker.

(Secretary: "Yes, sir"

"Investigate the woman at my birthday party a month ago, the one with a mask. She seems to be close with the old man Yu, my sister, and Vera." Sean's voice

Secretary: Yes sir

"Woman you're the first person to make me like this, better take responsibility" he mumbled happily)

*CRACK*

Elizabeth grip her phone tightly that it broke, her eyes are cold. Sean how dare you to take fancy to our lover, you played with girls' emotions, and now....

You Say You Liked Her

Looks like you need to learn not to covet other people's lovers.

Elizabeth and Vera are very sensitive when it comes to Aurora, even small details they would be serious when dealing with it.

Their eyes turned cold and bloodthirsty, and they thought of a way to deal with him silently. Elizabeth then called Ren

"Ren call the casino where Sean had a large debt and make trouble in the company"

Ren: Yes miss

"You have a lot of black material to ruin him huh," Vera said impressed

"Of course, he did a lot of bad things, and his trying to drag the company's reputation with him" Elizabeth called the secretary and told her to buy a new phone.

"Let's see how will he handle it" Vers put her hand under her chin

***************************

(Seans POV)

The company was back to the original after a month of overtime. Sean was in a good mood when his secretary barged in.

He was about to say something when his secretary panic said

"Pr..president there are people from the casino calming that you didn't pay your debt and they are making a scene outside the company"

Sean's eyes widen and immediately ran toward the elevator. How can the casino suddenly find me I thought they won't?

Upon arriving outside the company, a group of Emperor stage cultivators is outside sitting on the ground with bats in their hands.

One of the cultivators noticed him and he smiled dangerously. He was intimidating that people stay far away from them

"Mr. Sean, we're here to collect your debt. It's been months and yet you didn't pay" he said standing in front of him

"Brother, I will give you the money but I need more time" I almost plead.

"That's what you said a few months ago," he said as he puff his cigarette

"B..believe me, brother I just need more time and I can pay you whole" I looked at them

I can not fight all of them, my cultivation is only at the Peak of the Reform stage. I have been neglecting my cultivation and indulging myself in pleasure.

A few months ago, I went to a casino and lose the money I had. So I borrowed from the casino and still I lost, I didn't have money to pay them.

If I suddenly took out the money from the company the old man will be notified, he holds most of the funds. Sean ruffled his hair frustrated.

"Your debt is more than 2 billion gold, the casino owner is getting impatient, and if you don't pay. You know the rules" he said and patted my shoulder.

"Yes I know" I grit my teeth, is someone targeting me it's suspicious

When I thought that everything is okay, the casino suddenly came to collect debts.

"We'll give you a week if you don't pay, " the man puffs his cigarette

"You know what will happen, let's go boys" then the group turned their backs and left

I returned to my office, racking my brain on how to earn money. 1 week... They gave me only a week if I don't pay them, they might kill me.

'F*ck Why am I so unlucky'

He bites his lower lip and decided to call his friends if they are willing to let him borrow money.

Sean each called his friends and none of them is willing to lend him some money. He angrily smashed his phone on the ground again.

He pressed the button on his table, not waiting for his secretary to answer

"Get me a new phone and set an appointment with me. Can tonight"

At the end of the call, the poor secretary got yelled at again, he can barely take it anymore. He called and set an appointment with Mr. Can.

*****************************

_________Aurora's POV_________

(After 1 day)

Aurora woke up feeling refreshed her body tempering has reach the expert stage. She stands up and stretches her bones.

[Good morning host] Thana greeted actively

"Good Morning thana, that was the best sleep I had in a month" I yawned

Then we both head back to the frozen lake, I walked in the center of the lake. Took a deep breath and clenched my fist and together while I exhale I punch the 10 inches thick ice.

It made a hole and I jumped down, a formation activated making my body ice. With the fire element, I calmly circulate my Qi creating a thin wall around my body to shield me from the ice and let me breathe underwater.

Slowly I let myself sink into the water when a shark-like monster appeared in front of me.

[Sharko - similar to sharks but much larger like a hippo. Has great speed in the water and can eat a person in one bite. Emperor early stage]

The sharko rushed towards me with insane speed, I dodge diagonally then took out my blade and stab it fast as it pass through my side.

"Sshhhhiikkkkk"

The sharko kept moving fast and the blade is slowly cutting his body as he moves relentlessly. Blood was coming out of its body, I was hanging on and not letting go

I embedded the blade with a toxin that slowly killed the sharko, then took its monster core.

Then continue to descend under the water, I didn't fight any more monsters after killing the sharko it might be the guardian of the inheritance.

Almost 10,000 feet under the water was a temple it looked like a pyramid but it had a big door, it had carvings of thunder on the door.

"Thana look if there's a trap inside"

[Ding searching.....]

[Ding searching complete]

[There are no traps host]

Aurora heard and then went near the door and put her two hands against the door and pushed hard. The door slowly opened

*Creak*

The room was bright it was the stones shining under the floor. It was like a cube neatly placed on the ground.

Aurora slowly and cautiously swims toward the huge table at the end of the room. The left and right of the temple had statues on them of different people, holding the same thunder ⚡ in their hands.
