Chapter 1725 - Overexerting?

Davis suppressed his panic and kept healing her with his light energy.

Pure white light shone on Tina Roxley from Davis"s palms as it covered her entire body.

Soon enough, her expression that was one of a deep frown relaxed, and the dark circles over her eyes could be seen fading away as it returned to her original fair skin color. Her eyelids fluttered before she opened her eyes, revealing her amethyst eyes that appeared mesmerizing.

Tina Roxley blinked at him charmingly before her eyes became wide open.

"...!?"

"Ah~ Did I collapse?"

She agitatedly looked around, noticing that she was on the floor before she weakly smiled at Davis.

"Sorry..."

Davis didn"t know why she was asking sorry when he felt that it was his fault for not paying attention. He shook his head and relaxed after he mused that she could"ve just fainted from exhaustion. He wrapped his arms around her thin snake-like waist and thighs before he lifted her up, bringing her to the wooden sofa nearby.

Tina Roxley bit her lips as she gazed at his face, a blush appearing on her face. However, she didn"t resist nor say anything but enjoyed his embrace for a short few seconds until he laid her down on the sofa to rest.

However, she sat up.

"I... I"m fine." Tina Roxley pursed her lips, "It"s just I overexerted my soul force."

"How can you be so childish?"

In his tone was a hint of worry, although he appeared to be berating her while Tina Roxley embarra.s.sedly blushed on hearing him. Even she didn"t think she would faint.

When Davis handed Tina Roxley and the others the pills he made using Soul Palace"s recipes and resources, Davis already told everyone not to take cultivation too seriously enough to faint, especially when as it concerned the soul. Not only would it damage their cultivation if they encountered backlash, but it would also hurt their confidence, not to mention injure their souls.

Did they think just because he had life energy, they could be all as reckless as they wanted?

"So what happened? If you overexerted your soul force, did you deplete your soul force before cultivating Soul Forging Cultivation?"

"It"s not like that." Tina Roxley explained, "When I heard the knock on my door, I didn"t realize that I had overexerted my soul force and collapsed halfway after I stood up and walked to open the door. But before that, I noticed an anomaly in my soul force and became too focused on it, for I can conjure multiple energies at the same time. Let me show you."

Davis"s brows raised in astonishment as he saw Tina Roxley raise her hand, but then, he shook his head.

"It can wait. Now rest."

"Uh..."

Tina Roxley"s shoulders drooped as she put her hand down, looking at him with a pout. She then sat cross-legged and popped a pill into her mouth, feeling her soul force rejuvenate at a faster pace while the headache she felt before he came had already left her body.

"Truly, his life energy is boundless and divine..."

She couldn"t help but wonder as she could still imagine the feeling of basking in its brilliance.

Ten minutes later, she opened her eyes and saw that Davis still sat beside her, just simple gazing at her face.

"...!"

It made her heart skip a beat, making her wonder if he had looked at her like that for all this time.

"You think you have already rested now?"

Davis asked with one of his brows raised before Tina Roxley smiled and nodded.

"Your life energy is formidable~"

"You mean my vitality? Or perhaps, virility?"

Tina Roxley narrowed her eyes at his teasing expression, but she couldn"t hide the blush again.

"Bully..."

She mumbled and looked away.

"Hmph! I won"t show you."

"Alright, I better leave then..."

"Ah~ Don"t go!"

Tina Roxley quickly looked at him and captured his wrist while Davis almost stood up. His expression still possessed a teasing smile as he sat back.

"Then tell me you won"t overexert yourself again."

"I understand..." Tina Roxley lowered her head, "I"ll try my best."

Davis almost rolled his eyes.

She couldn"t lie, but neither did she promise him that she would not overexert herself. Perhaps, it was the feeling of being left out in terms of strength from their sisters that made Tina Roxley and the others cultivate harder, and if he denied them that, he knew that they probably wouldn"t understand him as power is what desired the most, even in women.

In truth, the feeling of dual cultivating with Isabella on the night of their marriage gave him a different kind of immense fulfillment, one that satiated his desire to conquer. It also tempted him when he thought about Bylai Zlatan and Zestria Domitian, who were his slaves but using his willpower and holding onto his values, he suppressed his desire for them as much as he could despite their enchanting beauty that would corrupt the hearts of many men in an instant.

Therefore, he could understand Tina Roxley"s desire of wanting to be strong and could not really deny her compet.i.tive heart.

"Alright, so what kept you so hooked that you denied my invitation to the banquet?"

Davis didn"t know what she meant by multiple energies, but he was also curious to see.

"That"s what I said sorry for..."

Tina Roxley awkwardly looked at him before she raised her hand and stretched her index finger. Soul force surged out of that thin finger and blazed into a hot plume of fire, appearing beautiful as her, but through her middle finger, a brownish glint appeared on the surge of soul force before dirt swirled around.

"You managed to comprehend Earth Laws for the soul?"

Davis raised his brows as he couldn"t help but feel impressed. He already knew that Tina Roxley was a bit talented in Fire Laws and Alchemy, so he found it marvelous that she could be talented in Earth Laws as well.

But just when he wondered what was so marvelous about this that she could devote herself until she could faint, he saw third energy appear above her thumb finger.

"Impossible..."

Davis dumbfoundedly uttered as he looked at Tina conjure a golden light that looked as if it almost manifested into reality.

"I found out that it"s like this since I got into the Elder Soul Stage with the help of the pills you provided me. But once I broke through, not only have I comprehended Fire Laws, Earth Laws, and Metal Laws and reached Level One Intent in all three, but I have also found that I can control these three energies at the same time."

Tina Roxley looked at the three thriving energies in the grasp of her fingers with glowing eyes before she muttered again.

"This is too... miraculous."

"This... how is she doing this?" Davis remained dumbfounded, "Even if she is conjuring two energies at the same time, she should be using both hands as the meridian pathway would only allow one kind of energy to flow through unless it was tempered in both attributes..."

But the last time he checked, Tina Roxley hadn"t tempered her meridians in terms of element!

Forget about two. She was conjuring three Laws in the same hand!

"Show me your hand."

He quickly grabbed her wrist and sensed her soul force serenely flowing through her meridian pathway. However, looking at her change the element of soul force only after it reached the knuckle, he suddenly understood.

"But wait... this shouldn"t still be possible..."

Back then, when he was still a teen adventuring the Tripart.i.te Alliance, he remembered using light and lightning energy simultaneously using the same method with slight deviation, but he was still unable to keep it up for more than a second before his fingers started to hurt. When he checked, he saw that he had slightly hurt his meridian points, but Tina Roxley, she...

"She"s still using three kinds of energy at the same time...!"

He was truly taken aback by this kind of change in her soul.

"Allow me to check your soul."

Tina Roxley blinked before she smiled, "Why ask? Go ahead."

Davis came out of his reverie as he heard her answer. He opened his lips, wanting to say something before he shook his head and closed it. Reaching out his finger towards her face, he touched her forehead as his soul sense entered her soul sea without encountering any resistance before he saw a bright lit soul sea full of brilliance appearing to welcome him.

It was a far cry from the dull and dest.i.tute soul sea he saw when she confined herself to escape from reality when she witnessed him fall and almost die. Nonetheless, as he swept his soul sense around her soul sea for some time, he failed to find anything of significance.

Her soul essence appeared quite normal, even average.

Davis narrowed his eyes before his eyes widened.

"Could it be a change in her Spirit Essence....?"
