Supreme Devil Lord: I Can Refine All Energy-Chapter 36: Grade One Warrior

An hour later, Eric was sitting on the ground cross-legged, naked, in Rosalie’s room while she lay on the bed on her front, similarly naked, her round ass cheeks red from being slapped, and her pussy swollen red with white, viscous liquid dripping out.

She had an expression of satisfaction and bliss on her face as she took deep breaths to calm down.

A while later, her eyelids became heavy and she fell asleep.

Eric was looking at his status, at the Refined Energy section to be precise.

[Refined Energy: 6→ 13]

’System, why did I get only seven units this time?’ He asked.

He had lasted the longest this time and had made her climax three or maybe four times. So, logically, he should have gotten more refined energy, but he got three units less than the first time.

[Host, you received more energy because your mate hadn’t had sex in a decade, so her yin energy had become purer and was in larger quantity. This was why you received more refined energy. However, she had exhausted most of her pure yin energy on her first time, which resulted in you receiving less. If you do more with her, you will receive even less.]

[The system advises you to have sex with someone else, preferably a cultivator, to receive more refined energy. If not, you should let her rest and recover before doing it again.]

Reading the system’s response, understanding dawned on him before he smiled bitterly.

’Before becoming strong enough myself, I can’t do it with any cultivator as they wouldn’t even look at me. This means if I want to get stronger in the shortest time, I have to have multiple women.’

Though the thought was lucrative, he couldn’t afford to have many women since he couldn’t take care of them.

’Well, I should first become a grade one Novice Warrior before thinking about it all.’ He thought, feeling excited.

He then closed his eyes and started circulating the [Essence Harmonization Technique] slowly.

Twenty minutes later, he completed a full cycle. If there was spirit energy in the air, he would have absorbed some of it, but since there was none, he cultivated a dry cycle. Still, it gave him experience.

Right before starting another cycle, he ordered the system to release the amount of energy it thought he could manage without any problem.

[Understood, host.]

A bit of energy appeared near his heart and the First Spirit Vein. He slowly absorbed it and started circulating it through his spirit veins.

Mm~

He couldn’t help but moan because the sensation of the Refined Energy slowly assimilating into his spirit veins and then his body was strangely comfortable, almost pleasurable.

This time too, he took twenty minutes to complete the cycle. When he assessed his body, he found some of his exhaustion from the intense activities earlier had vanished.

He then shifted his attention to the system screen in his mind, and when he saw the refined energy second, he almost shouted out, ’What the fuck!’

[Refined Energy: 12.9]

’I only absorbed one tenth of a unit? Isn’t this too little?’ He wondered.

It was as if the system had considered it a question directed at it; it responded with a change of screen.

[No, host, it is not little, at least not by normal standards. Normally when a person starts cultivating, they would only be able to absorb less than one-fifteenth of a unit of spirit energy. Although Refined Energy is not spirit energy, it is purer and thus easily absorbed in comparison. Even then, assimilating one-tenth of a unit is a little bit faster.

Moreover, an average person would have needed at least an hour to finish the first cultivation cycle with one-tenth of a unit of refined energy, but the host finished it in twenty minutes.]

Eric involuntarily smiled when he read this and said, ’Thanks for the vote of confidence, system.’

The system screen didn’t change. Eric shook his head and refocused before starting another cycle.

This time, he managed to absorb 0.2 units and only took less than fifteen minutes to complete the cycle, a significant boost in speed.

Before starting the third cycle, he asked the system if he had wasted some of the energy when absorbing it, but the system assured him he had not, as the system, according to his command, had only given him the amount of energy it thought he could absorb without any wastage.

...

Soon, he lost track of time. Only after he had completely absorbed the whole ten units did he stop cultivating, exhale deeply, and open his eyes.

He noticed that the room wasn’t as bright even though there was a lamp lit up...

’Huh? How long did I cultivate?’ He thought, realizing it was already late in the evening.

’Fuck! Elena and little Riya must be worried.’ He hurriedly stood and was about to rush out when he stopped.

It was not because he noticed he was naked; no, it was because he noticed he felt lighter and was filled with power. He then glanced at his hands, chest, and the rest of the body. Although he hadn’t grown muscles, his originally deathly pale skin had become healthy pale, and his hair had grown an inch longer.

Tap! Swoosh!

He tried jumping, and his head almost touched the roof of the house, something that would’ve been impossible for him a few hours ago.

He clenched his fist and felt he could punch a hole through the wooden door. Without hesitation, he walked to the door and did just that.

Bang!

His fist went through the two-inch-thick door easily, and he only felt a light sting.

"This is amazing!" He exclaimed out loud, unable to suppress his excitement.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Right then he heard the hurried footsteps, and Rosalie appeared in front of him. She first looked at him and blushed seeing he hadn’t dressed up yet before her gaze shifted to the door.

Frowning, she looked around, and when she saw nothing, she asked, "This hole, how did it happen?"

Eric grinned and raised his fist. "I punched it."

Rosalie looked at the hole, and indeed it seemed to have been punched, but she was having a hard time believing it.

Seeing her expression, he smiled and once again punched the door.

Bang!

"Believe it now?"

"This... how..." Rosalie couldn’t form a proper sentence for a while; her eyes widened in surprise. Then she took a deep breath and asked, "You were cultivating earlier, Sir Eric?"

"Yes." Eric nodded, making Rosalie gasp in surprise even though she had expected this answer as nothing else made sense for this sudden and crazy power-up.

After she gathered her wits, she asked what she had been thinking since she saw him cultivate upon waking up a few hours earlier.

"Sir Eric, there is no noble young master, right? From the beginning, it was you who was going to help me?"

Eric nodded. There was no longer a need to hide it.

Rosalie wasn’t disheartened, but she sighed in her heart. Although she didn’t know what the different cultivation levels were, she knew since Eric had just become a warrior, he still wasn’t strong enough to help her because, not to mention the noble, who, himself, was definitely a strong warrior, even his subordinates were sure to be stronger than Eric.

Eric saw through her worries and closed the distance between them before cupping her face in his hands and making her look in his eyes.

"You are mine. I’m going to protect you; be sure of that." He said in a firm tone, "So stop worrying. Let me be the one to worry."

Rosalie felt her heart warming at his words and at the look in his eyes. Unconsciously, she bit her lower lip, and her eyes became misty before she meekly nodded, "I understand, my lord."

Eric smiled at her new way of address, feeling proud because only nobles and cultivators could be called ’lord’.

"Now, come here. Let me see if I have become stronger in bed too." He grinned and swept her off her feet before walking over to the bed and depositing her on it.

When he had lifted Elsa, he had to use all his strength, and it was tiresome, but now, he could easily pick Rosalie, who was heavier than her.

Rosalie subconsciously glanced at his now erect member, angrily pointing toward her and throbbing.

Gulp!

’Has it become bigger?’ She gulped in nervous anticipation, her cheeks becoming rosy.
