Chapter 638 Lothur's Promise
Upon arriving at the place he had left Rebecca absorbing that skull Soul Bone, Lothur saw her opening her eyes right after she finished absorbing that.
Thus, he saw her status with all the improvements related to absorbing that bone.
[Name: Rebecca Böttger]
[Soul Cultivation: level 14 -> 15]
[Body Cultivation: level 14]
[STR: 95.5 -> 115.5]
[CON: 363.4 -> 433.4]
[DEX: 99.5 -> 121.5]
[AGI: 100.6 -> 120.9]
[INT: 184 -> 239]
[PER: 109.1 -> 131.1]
[WIL: 125.2 -> 150.2]
[SOU: 150.5 -> 185.5]
Seeing that, Lothur was pleased that Rebecca was advancing her soul cultivation level and coming closer to advancing her body level.
As weak as she was now, she could quickly become stronger by his side by absorbing the other Soul Bone he had with him and also through their time together.
In any case, Lothur had no interest in using Rebecca's powers. All he wanted was her company and for her to be well. So the difference between the two would never be a reason for him not to be interested in helping her.
He wanted her to get stronger so she could stand up for herself and be able to go deeper into certain things along with him, but there was no need for her to move at the same speed as him.
So when he saw her, he smiled and hugged her, offering his congratulations on this relevant breakthrough!
"Congratulations, Becca. You are now one step closer to becoming a Transcendent." He said as he felt this beautiful woman's soft, warm body.
"Thank you, Lothur." She said as she was happy as ever because, in addition to the advancement, she had obtained her first Soul Bone and, of course, ability.
Also, due to the first connection with her Spirit Body, she felt that her control over her Physique had evolved significantly.
It was still not enough for her to say out loud that she would no longer lose control over her poisonous abilities. Still, it was enough for her to realize that one day what had happened in Peters City would no longer be a problem.
That was why she felt so good as she slowly moved her lips to Lothur's, kissing him intensely, joyfully as a few times before.
Lothur felt this woman's joy as her fingers unbuttoned his shirt, quickly indicating her intention.
She had noticed that he had advanced a step while she was absorbing that Soul Bone, but she said nothing to him. All she had in mind was to have sex with her man, who had not only helped her a lot but had also regained his youthful appearance and was now even more handsome than before.
Lothur was not slow in his movements either, and in a few moments, the two were without clothes, going to one of the beds in that former Wildflower Faction headquarters.
There they would mix their fluids for the next few hours, taking things much further due to Rebecca's strengthening.

[CON: 433.4 -> 496.2]

[Name: Rebecca Böttger]
[Soul Cultivation: level 15]
[Body Cultivation: level 14 -> 15]
[STR: 115.5] [CON: 496.2] [DEX: 121.5] [AGI: 120.9]
[INT: 239] [PER: 131.1] [WIL: 150.2] [SOU: 185.5]
At the end of the long animalistic sex session with Rebecca, Lothur saw this woman's status and noted her advancement.
After they had rested for a while, he took her for a bath.
As they drank wine and chatted happily, Lothur decided to tell Rebecca some of his plans.
"Becca, I plan to escape from this prison soon."
"Uh? How will you do that? Isn't it impossible to escape from here without reaching the Sage stage?" She asked as she looked at him with a glass of wine near her lips.
He smiled and said. "Others would need that, but not me. I believe that once I become a Celestial Saint, I will achieve that feat."
Gulp!
"Celestial Saint?" She couldn't help but think how absurd Lothur's cultivation speed was.
He had already told her about the fact that he was a hybrid and explained how he could get stronger by absorbing the powers of his victims.
As such, she was aware that he still had a few hundred people in this place to steal the powers from, so she didn't think this feat would be impossible to achieve.
But still, level 20 was a far cry from her reality, and she couldn't help but take a deeper breath as she considered that Lothur would get there in no time.
"That's impressive..." She said while having a touch of melancholy in her voice.
Lothur understood what was wrong and said. "Don't worry, Becca. I am so strong because I have 5 Soul Bones. You saw how much better you got just by absorbing one, right? Each one of them elevates all of your characteristics.
You absorbed only one... But I went through these changes five times! Can you imagine the cumulative effect of this?
So that's why I can reach this level!" He ran one of his hands over her face. "Once you become stronger, your growth naturally accelerates."
What Lothur was saying might sound absurd since most cultivators took longer and longer to advance in level. But this was because the amount of energy they would need to convert to change their attributes increased dramatically with each level.
But the amount of energy one could convert into attribute points grew with each level. That is, with each level, the growth of cultivators became faster.
For example, if a person could improve 1 attribute point per day at the 1st stage, then at the 2nd stage, they could increase 1 + y. At the 3rd stage, 1 + y + x, and so on.
So even if it took him longer to raise his level, the cultivation of someone like Lothur would increase faster than that of someone at Rebecca's level.
Rebecca understood Lothur's point and knew that the differences between them would eventually diminish if she had the right opportunities.
He said. "One day, I will make sure you have the 10 Soul Bones that your body can absorb. I promise you that!"
She smiled upon hearing this nonsense. Who in the world could say such bold words?
But she didn't doubt that he would try and thanked him.
"To prove it, I have one more bone for you to absorb, Becca." He said as he revealed that other bone he couldn't absorb. "Tomorrow morning, I want you to start absorbing it. It should take about two more days to finish absorbing this bone, so you better get started soon.
I'll advance my plans for our escape in the meantime."
