Chapter 222 - Cooking Breathing Style
______________________
---The next day---
Devil Athletics,
At this moment, Lev could now be found in a region that is mostly a vast wasteland covered in rocks and craggy areas resuming his training again. His specific location at this moment was a place called the 'Devil Athletics.
Devil Athletics was an area that was a deep, dark chasm filled with mist, and from the depths of the mist arose numerous stone pillars of varying height and width with flat surfaces where numerous strong beasts make their homes atop these pillars and no plant life grows within this dark and every place.
After satisfying Mamako all night and safely getting out of the Regal Mammoth, Lev immediately continues his training seeing him now fighting against a large boar-type beast however, there is a trace of a frown that could be seen on his face as he continues using the Pumpkins against the beast.
Seeing no improvement, Lev put the Pumpkins back into his inventory and took out Zabimaru Infinities as he dashed forward and easily killed the beast before putting it back on his back. After that, a sudden thought and problem arose from his mind which he could not help but put his attention to.
"Pumpkin really is a good weapon but just being powerful is not enough. I need something to use such power efficiently. Maybe a technique that I could use as a complimentary." Lev then immediately asked as he felt like his performance was quite unsatisfactory realizing that he was only exploiting the power of the weapons and not using them to the best of their capabilities.
"There will be a lot of gun-type techniques in the store but that would only be a waste of True God Coins. It's not like I need them immediately since my main weapons were still the two Infinities." Lev followed upon thinking about it carefully since he was more adept at using melee weapons.
While thinking, Lev's stomach suddenly growls which puts him in a tight spot. No matter how hard he looked for an answer, he needed to fill his stomach first as this world really was completely different from the rest because this place would always make him feel hungry.
"This beast looks delicious. It's decided then, this will be our lunch for today." Lev looked at the beasts he just hunted before putting them inside his inventory. Following that, he just looked at the sky and saw how nice the weather was today before heading back to where are the others.

---Noon---
White Forest,
Following their arrival, White Fang and Luna immediately greeted Lev warmly before Lev headed to the Million Tree to see the current condition of the Billion Bird egg. However, the system only told Lev that it still won't hatch today.
With that, Lev then started preparing for their lunch seeing him taking out several ingredients that he hunted and acquired while they were on their way back to the place. Mamako also helped him by seeing her cleaning some ingredients while heeding his instructions and guidance.
Chichi, on the other hand, was no longer surprised by Lev's cooking skill and already admitted that he didn't see anyone whose cooking skill surpassed that of Lev. Since he pretty much had nothing to do, he also decided to help thinking that it was also a good opportunity to learn something from him.
After an hour, Lev and the others finally started eating their lunch seeing several dishes around. It was a wholesome lunch when Lev suddenly said something that disrupted the atmosphere, "Now that I think about it. Chichi, your friend Kaka probably was already awake from her Cryptobiosis."
"Hmmm. S-Shit. I completely forgot about that. Looks like City of Hope is in danger." Lev's eyes suddenly widened in surprise after suddenly recalling such a thing. He does not know when it happened but he was sure it was along this time so he thought that he needed to reconsider visiting Area 7 once again.
"H-How do you know about Kaka? And what are you talking about your City of Hope?" Chichi was very surprised upon hearing such names since he didn't know where Lev heard them but seeing his expression as if he knew everything, he really felt like wanting to know more about him and the secrets he was hiding.
"Hmmm. It's better for you to see it yourself tomorrow." Lev replied calmly before he started eating again. His mind, however, was thinking about something else, especially the things that he needed to do after the Billion Egg hatched.
With that, Chichi could only shut himself which is not very like him, but he could not do anything about it and could only continue eating the food Lev has made. Following that, Lev and the rest of his group then just spend the rest of the day relaxing in the great scenery inside the White Forest as they wait for tomorrow to come.

---Night---
White Forest,
As the night came in, Lev could be found performing some kind of unique swordsmanship different from what he had been practicing for many decades. Lev wasn't alone in the area as Mamako could also be found sitting on the ground not that far from him observing what he was doing with great curiosity.
At this moment, Lev was actually creating a new type of swordsmanship after suddenly having the idea. He kind of felt like he could do it and was very excited if he somehow managed to create it since it would be the very first swordsmanship style that he ever created as he even created several clones to imitate his moves to maximize the result of his training.
After that, Lev, without looking at the time, continues performing the swordsmanship he envisions until midnight before finally seeing him and his clones synchronously and beautifully performing the same stances and pose with sweats dropping down on their bodies but it didn't take long before Lev suddenly stopped and retracted all his clones as a wide smile appear on his face.

"Finally." Lev muttered while looking through the series of notifications appearing in front of him. He then just looked at his status once again as he used 'Skill Combination' wanting to integrate the skill into his Universal Breathing so he wouldn't feel burdened when he used it together with the rest.
Not long after that, Lev could be found smiling upon seeing a sudden change in one of his skills. He then just felt quite dumb and sorry for himself thinking the thing that kept on bugging him until now actually just had a simple and obvious answer.
"So that's how it is. To think that Weapon Specialists leveled up after integrating the Cooking Breathing Style into the Universal Breathing Style. Though it still wasn't enough to reach the next realm, just the thought that it would result in this was crucial information to know." Lev said with an understanding and satisfied smile on his face.
"Maybe I also need to learn many martial arts and integrate them into Martial Arts Specialist so it would level up. I think I already have the gist now." Lev said with a smile. Looking back, his Martial Arts Specialist skill was a combination of martial arts but it was only to the extent of normal techniques aside from the Niko Style that he learned back then.
"There's no need to waste True God Coins just to level them up. I only need to come to a place where there is abundant of such technique or acquire a good teacher and integrate them all to this skill." Lev followed with an excited smile on his face as he already had a world in mind that clearly fit the criteria.
"Master, are you done?" Suddenly, a woman's voice sounded in the place which Lev then immediately set aside his excitement and turned around just to see Mamako walking closer to him with her sexy nightgown.
"Yeah… Mnnnhh" Lev replied as he used Ruler's Authority to pull Mamako closer to him and kissed her immediately on the lips. Following that, his hand then starts behaving like a beast as he started squeezing and groping her round ass.
Following that, as Mamako also started getting hornier from the sudden attack of Lev, the both of them then started having sex in the place they were in not minding if the other will wake up from their seductive groaning and moaning.
