Death… And Me Chapter 87 - Majorias City

Chapter 87 - Majorias City

Alanda, Rean, and Roan are all in the Foundation Establishment, so they can keep their travel rhythm. However, Malaka is still in the Middle Stage of the Energy Gathering Realm, so they had to stop a few times for her to rest. Malaka had followed Roan's orders and really stopped cultivating for a year, so she started again only recently. There was the option to carry her, but all three men immediately refused the idea. More physical movement is good for her and themselves as well.
The group stopped by in a City to sleep for the night. Rean and Roan got one room while Alanda took another one with Malaka. That night, the twins once more entered the Soul Gem dimensional Realm. It has been some time since they got enough Destiny Points to buy the Panther Bones, but just now, they decided to go ahead with it.
"Sister Orb, how many Destiny Points we got after winning that Tribe War? Sure the reputation of our Tribe will change completely once the news spread, right?"
[Let me check here... Hum... That was not so bad, you got another 20 Destiny Points from that.]
[Oh! That's right!]
[Cough, cough. Congratulations, Hosts. After your vict-]
"Alright, Roan, we have more Destiny Points now, so let's take those Panther Bones."
Rean cut Sister Orb's speech mercilessly. In fact, if he didn't do that, Roan would definitely have done so.
"Good. Sister Orb, exchange the points for us."
[...]
[You are no fun.]
[Anyway, you have 105 Destiny Points in total. After acquiring the Panther Bones, there will be 55 Left. Do you confirm your purchase?]
The twins answered at the same time.
"Yes."
Immediately, Rean and Roan feel on the ground again. The process of changing one's bones' quality is excruciating. However, they know that it is more than worth it! As the twin contorted in pain on the ground, the change gradually took place. Thirty minutes later, they were finally over with it.
Both Rean and Roan had tears in their eyes when they finished, what Sister Orb found quite funny.
[Two adults, one of them being countless years old. Still, you can't take a little bit of pain. How shameful.]
"Said the orb that doesn't know what pain is."
[I do know what it is.]
"Oh?! Go ahead, tell me more about it."
[Seeing one adult playing Heavy Metal while the other showed a few Porn scenes during an affinity exam. Those are very painful things to watch.]
The twins immediately feel on the ground. Let alone Rean, and Roan's face went red at that moment.
"Cough, cough. Those were... trials! Yes, we were just testing the level of concentration of each other."
[Sure... whatever you say.]
Rean and Roan immediately left the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm after that. They simply had no face to look at Sister Orb anymore.
After that, they looked at each other, and it seemed like they reached the same conclusion. It is never a good thing to underestimate Sister Orb.
"Anyway, tomorrow, when we resume our travel, we can then test how these new Panther Bones are."
After cleaning themselves, they went to sleep as well.
Rean and Roan could have chosen the 'Spiritual Sense Absorption Upgrade Level 1' from the reward list. In the long term, it would have a better return. But they opted for the Panther Bones so that they could have a better boost in power in the short term. They don't know what to expect from this Sect Entrance Exam, so they felt that it was a safer option.
The next day, the group was on the road again. Rean and Roan took that opportunity to test the changes in their bodies. They run, used techniques, sparred between themselves and Alanda, etc. In the end, they reached a conclusion that the Panther Bones increased their body strength in another 10%.
"It's half of what the Ape Bones gave to us. Sister Orb, is this correct? Shouldn't the Panther Bones be better?"
[There is nothing wrong with it. The further you go into a path, the harder it becomes. Just so that you know, there are only two more levels of Bones Upgrade. After that, you will have achieved the max that the system can offer. However, you can still strengthen your bodies after that with the resources of the Cultivation World. It's just that you will need to find it yourselves.]
Rean and Roan nodded. That indeed made sense. For example, cultivation gets harder the further you go, so the bones bonus reduction was well within this logic.
The Dalamu Sect was located in the south of the City of Masjoria, 300km away, to be more exact. It was built on the Dalamu Spiritual Mountain, which gave the Sect's name. It was a point where a lot of Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth gathered. Even in the city of Masjoria, it was possible to feel the difference. Of course, the city can't possibly compare to the Mountain since it located so far.
The reason the city was established at that distance from the Sect is that everything in a 300km radius is considered the Dalamu Sect's territory. Anyone who enters without permission could be killed without warning. Thus, all the kids who would be taking part in the exam this time were gathered in the city, waiting for when the Sect opened its doors.
Alanda's group arrived there 4 days before the Sect Entrance exam, so they still had some time to look around. Rean decided to visit the blacksmith workshops while Roan passed on the cultivation shops to see what they were selling. Roan was more interested in their weapons skill manuals, to be more specific. In the last Tribe War, he understood that no one there used skills. They were all relying on the brute force of their Spiritual Energies. That was one more reason why Roan's plans worked so well.
Malaka also wanted to go somewhere by herself, but Alanda quickly held her back.
"Why can't I go? You let Rean and Roan have fun, but always keep me behind."
"Hmph! That is because they know what they are doing, different from you. When you get older, you will be able to do the same thing."
"That's not fair!"
"Hahaha! This the first lesson I'll give you now that you are out of the Tribe. The world is not fair."
Alanda then looked at Malaka with a serious expression and asked.
"By the way, you did not forget what we talked about, right?"
Malaka nodded with an annoyed face.
"Rean and Roan are 12 years old. I must not tell that they are of the same age as me."
"Good! Since you are being cooperative, I will go with you to look around. Where you wanna go?"
Malaka's eyes immediately brightened, and she quickly dragged Alanda around the city to satisfy her curiosity.
