BXBX NOVEL Chapter 104: Dragon Physique
"Okay, let's face this." He said and scrolled down the tab a bit to read what was written.
[< Dual Cultivation is an advanced technique where two cultivators share and refine their spiritual energies during intercourse. This practice strengthens both partners, increasing their internal energy, abilities, physique, cultivation potential, and equalizing their cultivation levels in case you or your partner are at different stages. >]
"Wait, what do you mean by equalizing cultivation? Does it only advance you to match your partner?" Strax questioned aloud...
[< Exactly. >]
The System responded. Strax was left speechless, and many things crossed his mind. It now made sense... After all, he only advanced when he was with Monica, who was a specialist and he wasn't... "But... what about Samira?" He wondered.
Currently, Samira was a Stage Master, and she was the woman he had the most sex with to date. "This is still confusing... Well, I have a lot of things to see yet, maybe because it was the beta version it worked differently." He said and continued scrolling down the System skills tab.
[< Love Copy >]
It was the next skill in the System. It really was a good skill that he had used a lot. After copying the skill (Fire Manipulation), his strength had increased significantly, and it had become one of his main abilities.
Of course, he still didn't know how to use it in battle beyond how Samira used it, bathing her sword in flames, but he wanted to improve that, to be more creative with these uses would be ideal, especially with such a strong ability as this.
He then reread the description of the skill, which, well...
[< Allows the user to copy only one skill from their wives marked with the Harem System. This skill will not have the same proficiency or strength as the original skill but can be enhanced with your own efforts. Currently, there are no targets with unique skills to be copied. >]
"It probably hasn't been changed; I don't see how this skill could have been corrected." Strax thought, after all, it was a beta. Love Copy itself was already an extremely strong skill compared to most others. Just having the ability to copy a strong skill like Fire Manipulation was incredible, and it didn't need significant improvement...
[< Analysis >]
[< Analysis: The analysis skill was outdated and did not function properly. Now, with version 1.0, it is possible to analyze anyone, provided they have the same cultivation level as you or lower. Warning: Do not use this skill lightly, only on people you trust. It can be detected as "evil eye" by stronger cultivators and even confused with mental attacks. >]
Strax read the warning and blinked twice... Maybe that's why he forgot about this skill; the system was protecting him... Imagine if he used it on someone like Samira who wasn't friendly? It would be a big fight, well, despite that, he was much stronger now.
Strax wanted to continue in that bathtub and explore the rest of the changes in version 1.0 of the System, but his time was running out. He had already spent more than thirty minutes lying down looking at the System. He needed to have... a serious conversation with those women somehow, at least explain what had happened. He believed that his wives might even be a bit hesitant about him now.
Hiding a secret from people he loves is... complicated. He felt a little guilty, but wasn't that inevitable? It's not like he could reveal about the System so lightly; he didn't even know if he could, after all, the System seems very restrictive and acts on its own, which wouldn't guarantee that he would be stopped by the System.
Well, he was being too cautious and even a little paranoid, so he decided to wait and see what would happen.
Strax couldn't afford to take risks.
"Ah well," he murmured as he got up, water dripping from his muscles as he slowly wrapped a towel around himself. He had intended to wash his face, but when he looked into the mirror...
"Damn... This is going to be problematic," he said, observing his body.
His muscles seemed meticulously sculpted, each fiber visibly tense beneath his jade-colored skin. The definition was such that it looked like it had been crafted by a famous artist. Strax had previously had a slight Asian trace in his eyes, which had often gone unnoticed, but now it was clear—his eyes were a bit sharper and seemed more serious.
The line of his jaw was firm and well-defined, the gentle arch of his eyebrows adding a penetrating intensity to his sharp gaze.
"Damn..." Strax murmured. Now, he couldn't be ignored. Through his own experience, Strax now resembled a character from Xianxia novels—serene and calm. His long, silky hair gave an air of meticulous care, someone who cared about his appearance.
"If I put on a red Hanfu, I'm sure I'll cause some trouble wherever I go..." Strax said this as if it were a bad thing, but his lips bore a mischievous smile... a very mischievous one indeed. "I wonder if I can find a Hanfu in this city? I've seen some cultivators wandering around somehow; ah... Vine and Hinna wear Hanfu... maybe Xenovia does too..." he murmured.
Strax wrapped the towel around his waist after drying his hair and took a deep breath, preparing to face his wives—not that there was any problem, but in his mind, it would be exhausting. Especially knowing how concerned his wives were, particularly Beatrice.
He put on the first clothes he found and descended the stairs. He found Monica, Samira, and Beatrice gathered in the main hall, seated and visibly impatient. Their curious gazes immediately found him, even more so with this new appearance; it seemed like these women's eyes wanted to pierce through him, and Strax felt a shiver run down his spine.
He was still contemplating whether this change was good or bad... Well, he would have to figure that out on his own...
Interestingly, Samira was the most impatient. She stood up and crossed her arms like a truly upset wife.
"Strax, what happened to you?" Samira asked with an analytical look, her voice laden with many emotions, primarily anger. He didn't even understand why she was so angry. "Is it because I broke the house?" He questioned himself... "Or because I kept them locked up in the house for a few days?" Well...
while Beatrice was missing, let's just say he might have been overly protective of his wives, perhaps even crossing the line.
Strax took a deep breath once more, gathering his words. "Girls, let's just say I've had a major upgrade. It's resulted in some drastic changes to my physique," he said, not referring to the system directly, but rather trying to ease them into hearing these terms, at least until he had the courage to explain without sounding crazy.
Of course, he wasn't sure if the system would prevent them from hearing about it.
"Yeah, we've all noticed that. You were handsome before, now you're a temptation pit. We've all noticed, stop stating the obvious!" Samira replied, seeming a bit... "What's up with her?" Strax asked the other two, who seemed to agree with Samira to some extent.
"She's horny," the two chimed in unison. "She just wants to finish this conversation so you can defile her in the best possible ways," Monica added. Well, they spoke as if... "Look who's talking, peek under that maid skirt! I bet there's a waterfall under those stockings!" Samira pointed between Monica's legs, which clenched and closed quickly. "And you too!
You're itching to go into a coma again after a long fight session with him!" Samira pointed at Beatrice, who turned her face away. "I deserve it," she pouted quietly.
Strax listened incredulously... these women... cared about all this? I mean, they just wanted sex right now. If they were human and felt this way, imagine if he gave a sword to his blades resting on the edge of the couch... Those two dragons had instincts thousands of times greater than Beatrice, Monica, and Samira.
All Strax could do was sigh. Sure, he really wanted to seize this moment, but now was the time to get serious.
"My loves... I have a special physique," Strax said, catching all their attention. And for some reason... "Aren't you surprised?" he asked, seeing their lifeless gazes.
"My husband... you couldn't be more obvious, could you? Let's be honest among ourselves... did any of you think this man didn't have a special physique?" Samira, the most experienced cultivator present, questioned them. They obviously denied it; they already suspected he had something like this.
In a short time, this man had reached Master Level; it was obvious there was something behind it, and rare physiques were known... the problem was...
"It's a Dragon physique," Strax said, shattering the women's expectations like a mirror... they were in shock.
