212- Success 1    After resting for a few minutes, Orochi paused his cultivation and went to meet Armelia and June.   When Orochi met them, Armelia asked,   “How was it? Did you break through to the Demi-Human stage?”   Orochi replied: “Almost. Just a few more hours, I can step into the Demi-Human stage.”   Then he continued,   “I just wanted to check if there was any trouble.”   To this Armelia replied,   “There was no trouble, it’s just that the people of this inn released the man whom you tied in the other room. And when I tried to stop them, the manager told me that you permitted them, and I did not want to disturb you so I let them take away that man.”   Orochi: “Yeah, that manager begged me not to involve their inn in our conflict, so I permitted

214- System's abilityBefore starting cultivating, Orochi recalled all the information about the Demi-Human stage. According to the information available in the brown book, after one reaches the Low level Demi-Human stage, they have to upgrade their bronze dantian to silver dantian. And only then one can break through to the Mid Level Demi-Human stage. And to upgrade their bronze dantian to silver dantian, one needs a large number of resources. The reason why one needs a large number of resources is that for the bronze dantian to upgrade, it needs to be supplied with energy. So, when the energy is supplied to the dantian, the dantian absorbs it like a tree and grows. And when the dantian reaches its limit, it upgrades to the silver dantian. To be honest, only the step where one needs to activate the dantian is the most difficult and tiring step. But when one successfully activates the dantian, then all he/she has to do is supply enough energy for the dantian to upg

216- Alex Xavier’s cruelty When Orochi opened his eyes, he felt that his clothes were tighter. When he observed closely, he realized that his shrunken muscles expanded slightly and the same thing happened with his bones, flesh, and other parts of the body. When he was poisoned, his muscles, flesh, etc., shrunk to the limit and he looked so thin as if he was suffering from malnutrition. The combination of the two poisons [9 Times destroying herb and Devil’s Breath] was so harmful that no matter how much he ate or exercised, there was no change in his body and his body remained thin. So, after getting rid of the poisons, one of his goals was to get back his body to normal and if possible, get into good shape. So, during this time he ate lots of food especially monster meat to let his body recover back to normal, but the recovery process was slow, so the results were not so obvious. So, if one looks at Orochi’s body then he can only say that he gained a little body wei

218- Auction Begins     Soon, a transparent glass having a diameter of 2 meters was brought into Orochi’s room and placed near the one-sided mirror. The transparent glass was nothing but a huge convex lens which is normally used in magnifying glass and telescopes to view objects that are far away.   The huge lens was focused on the auction stage on which the host or the announcer would stand.   Orochi’s group was even able to see the wooden pattern on the table which was placed on the stage.   Since there was still some time for the auction to start, Orochi asked one of the female servants to bring them some breakfast.   So, while the group was having their breakfast, people started entering the auction hall at a moderate pace.   Suddenly, someone knocked on Orochi’s door.  One of the female servants opened the door and when she
