5 Decision (1/2)

Chapter 5 - Decision

Jiu Vermillion was paying close attention to Arthur since he saw his deathly pale face. When he saw Rose Jade come, he quickly hid himself to listen to their conversation.

When he heard his son Arthur Vermillion exclaim, he was stunned. But when he looked closely at him, Jiu Vermillion himself also wanted to exclaim in delight!

However, Jiu Vermillion can see that there's something slightly wrong with Arthur Vermillion's body but he can't accurately discern what this was which made him frown a little. At any rate, everything would be fine as long as he gives him some medicinal herbs later. Jiu Vermillion was too happy to worry about anything, because...

Arthur broke through!

'His hardwork finally bore fruit...', Jiu Vermillion thought to himself. Although he is still behind his peers by a couple of steps, it is fine as long as Arthur is following closely behind.

'I will surely throw him another banquet.', he to inwardly to himself again. With that, Jiu Vermillion returned to his own room quietly with his face full of smiles.

Arthur Vermillion's mind went blank for a couple of seconds when he found out about his breakthrough. He guessed that this must be that Item Spirit's doing from last night. This was already expected by Arthur Vermillion but he still felt joy in his heart.

”Brother Arthur, you broke through!”, Rose Jade cupped her fist. She was genuinely happy for Arthur for breaking through.

Arthur Vermillion on the otherhand, is finding this scene a bit silly. In spite of the fact that he too was happy for breaking through. He is still a bit short to catch up to his peers.

The Body Strengthening Realm is divided into five stages. Vigor Stage, Superior Body Stage, Altering Bones Stage, Cleansing Marrow Stage, and Meridian Opening Stage.

Most of Arthur Vermillion's peers are at the second stage of Body Strengthening Realm, the Superior Body Stage. Whilst some geniuses are at the third stage of the Body Strengthening Realm, Altering Bone Stage. Pao Bluan is included in the 'genius' category.

Other than that, there are also those who are at the fourth stage of the Body Strengthening Realm. They are all monstrous geniuses without peers. For example, Rose Jade, she can make a Superior Body Stage martial artist scared out of his wits just by releasing a bit of her genesis energy.

”Sister Rose is too polite, it was just luck.”, Arthur Vermillion also cupped his fist while laughing awkwardly. He does not want to include her to his troubles. Therefore, as long as he is still weak as f*ck, he would avoid Rose Jade for the time being.

Arthur Vermillion invited Rose Jade to come inside but since Rose Jade came here to inquire why Arthur Vermillion didn't go to school earlier, she declined and hurriedly went home.

He was a bit stunned at first but upon realizing her intentions. He lightly smiled at her fading back and proceeded to go to the market.

He was planning to buy a medicine called 'Hundred Year Old Ginseng'. Just as the name implies, it is a herb that was grown for a hundred years. It can used by Meridian Opening Stage martial artists or below to recover their depleted or expended Genesis Energy. When the quality is high enough, it could help cultivators heal minor injuries.

Although the Vermillion Family have plenty of these kinds of medicine. Arthur Vermillion decided to keep anything related to that Item Spirit from last night a secret. Hence, preventing unnecessary future troubles.
