BXBX NOVEL Chapter 238 - Outrageous Progress!
Khal watching as the two men walked away sighed and closed the door.
[Now what do you plan to do?]
Khal remained silent after hearing the question, and after pondering for a whole minute he began to explain his plan.
"From now on I will increase my strength with the Cultivation Quests while also concentrating on increasing my Cultivation Base and continuing to learn forging with Bazz. Of course, I will also supply you with my Body Essence when I have the chance to do so."
[That\'s what I like to hear!]
Nova seemed happy, even letting out a slight chuckle that Khal didn\'t expect at all, but alas, he just smiled before opening the tasks he could currently do.

Inside a huge mansion that was surrounded by several smaller buildings, Anred was sitting behind his desk with a complexion full of gravity while his eyes held a mixture of hatred and and worry that was hidden deeply.
Ever since he learned that his son, Alde, has gone missing because of an unexpected ambush, he sent several of his people to find him and the man, but alas, not even after a week did they find a clue about his whereabouts much less find him.
"Just who the fuck are you?" Anred mumbled in a deep voice as his gaze was fixed on a hologram, playing the scene where Khal killed all five guards together with Alde.
After rewatching it over a dozen times, Anred leaned back into his chair, and began to ponder deeply while his fingers gently began to tap on the desk\'s surface.
And like this, seconds became minutes, and minutes became hours, and after a full three hours of deep pondering later, suddenly a knock sounded on the door stopping the tapping sound in the room at once.
Knock~knock!
"Come in."
Immediately as his voice fell, the door on the side opened, and Edvin with a nonchalant expression walked in.
"Any news?" Anred asked, waiting for Edvin to talk.
Edvin however shook his head before saying, "Unfortunately, we still can\'t find the Young Master nor that man, but we indeed found this."
Taking out a black ring with the Ourvi Family Emblem on it, Edvin placed it atop the desk and continued to talk.
"This is the Young Master\'s spatial ring. One of my men has found it toward the east, about fifty miles away from here."
Anred picked up the ring with a heavy face and inspected it carefully before pouring a bit of his Body Essence into it. However, when he saw that there was nothing inside it he raised his brow and glanced at Edvin with a questioning look.
"It was empty when they have found it."
\'...\'
Anred nodded and shifted his gaze back at the ring before asking, "It seems whoever is behind all of this knew we can track the rings and decided to take everything from inside it before tossing it away. Interesting..."
Crack!
With a strong clasp, Anred broke the ring into several small pieces before asking, "What about the Shadows? Did they find anything?"
"Not yet. However, they started to monitor all the individuals around the Southern Continent that have armors, especially the ones similar to the one in the recording."
Anred nodded and said, "Just make sure to do your best and report back every time you seem to find something even if it\'s the slightest hint or clue."
"Sure."
"Perfect, then you can now go," said Anred and waved his hand.
Edvin nodded, and after bowing slightly to Anred he turned around and walked away.
Once the door was closed again, Anred sighed deeply, and stared at the fragments scattered around the desk and floor with a complicated gaze.
"Just who did you offend this time?"

Days went by one after another, and an entire week passed in a blink.
During that time, Khal made sure to increase both his Cultivation Base, his Body Essence, and his points with Cultivation Quests.
At first, things seemed rather impossible to do at the same time, which indeed was true, but after slight changes in his routine, he was able to adapt fairly well.
In at early morning every day, Khal made sure to do all of his quests that were not about hunting Beasts before spending his remaining time with Liza.
There, because Liza was practicing with her Frozen Flames he only sat on the sides while consuming the Essence Pills he acquired from Alde, further increasing both his Body Essence and Cultivation Base.

Under a colorful tree\'s shade, Khal stared at the rows of words made out of white light in his line of sight with an expressionless face, but deep inside he was shocked beyond belief.
Just under a single week, he literally increased his strength by almost tenfolds while he was still on the Sixth Cultivation Stage!
Furthermore, his Body Essence increased from five thousand units to more than sixteen thousand, which was a ridiculous amount!
Let alone his terrifying physical traits that not even a Cultivator with a Body Tempering Talent had, with his quantity of Body Essence alone he could easily kill a Cultivator from the Seventh Stage, and maybe even rival some from the Eighth Stage without using his Talents but only his Secret Arts!
Just the thought alone what will he become if he continues to increase his strength like this made Khal feel excited toward the future.
