Dual Cultivation: Beasts and Women!

The start of a fresh day brought with it a renewed sense of energy for Liam. As he stepped out of the Runes Hall that morning, he could already feel himself 90% healed. Though he still kept his bandages on and donned a loose robe over his attire to conceal his body, he was fit enough to make plans for his departure from town.

'I will leave the city wearing these bandages and pretending to be weak. My enemies will think I'm vulnerable and underestimate me.' He thought on his way to the Beasts Hall.

Before setting out on his hunt, Liam wanted to work another five-hour shift at the Beasts Hall to ensure that he would have at least a week of relative rest to hunt Arcane Crystals outside of the city.

'I'll be fully recovered by tomorrow morning, but my enemies don't need to know that.' He smiled subtly as he limped slowly through the streets and stairways of Peak Thirteen.

'Luckily I'll be able to cultivate with Mary later and maybe try my luck with Electa...' He was thinking about it when he arrived at the coliseum and saw the figure of a black-haired woman enter the building just 60 meters in front of him.

This woman possessed sleek, ebony braids cascading down her back, reaching impressive lengths. Standing at approximately 1.7 meters tall, her figure commanded attention, accentuated by noticeable proportions that even the most modest attire struggled to conceal.

Her hips, undoubtedly her most prominent feature, drew the eye with their alluring curves, closely followed by her ample bosom.

'Electa!' Liam recognized the black-haired beauty Felicity had recommended to him.

He could easily distinguish her from the other disciples coming and going in the area.

Liam quickened his pace, uncovering his face while keeping the rest of his body covered to prevent anyone from discovering that he was fine. His light, recovered facial appearance alone wasn't enough to tell that he was close to 100%.

He was using the Mana Mask, while anyone looking at him now who wasn't at least a mid-third realm Spirit Master would think that his cultivation was weakened, at the beginning of the 5-Star of the second realm.

This was enough to hide his condition from his enemies while he approached the beautiful black-haired woman with a serious expression on her face.

'She is only a little stronger than me, so my powers will probably work on her. Now I'll just use enough to get her interested in me. Later I'll use 100% of what I have.'

Liam smiled as he saw her stop at the registration area where disciples could check in before fights in the coliseum.

The coliseum also had an area where disciples could fight the coliseum beasts. However, it wasn't as easy to fight there as it was in the arena, so the number of daily fights wasn't high.

Standing less than 70 centimeters from Electa, Liam activated his power while pretending to be there to talk to an acquaintance.

He greeted the faction member who was there that morning, saying he was resting before turning his gaze to Electa and flirting. "I'm recovering slowly, but seeing girls as beautiful as her makes me feel as if my injuries don't matter. Certain pains are more mental than physical, I suppose."

Electa turned her gaze to Liam, narrowing her eyes at the sight of this man with no eyebrows and hair just beginning to grow on his bald head.

Though he hadn't regained his hair yet, Liam's face looked just as attractive as before, his dimples marking the smile he had for Electa.

"Girls as beautiful as me?" She asked, not knowing for a moment whether to be annoyed by this stranger or to let his flirting go unnoticed.

She was a young woman in her early twenties, so she was aware of looks. But Electa was determined to get her own revenge and had never thought about relationships with men since her misfortune began.

In the past, she had dreams—she wanted to get married and have a family. But after seeing her family destroyed, being abused in every way possible, and then being forced to fight for her life, relationships had lost their luster for her. She wasn't thinking about men; she was thinking about ways to become stronger.

But Liam's appearance made her tremble slightly, yet her gradually icy gaze became more pronounced on her face.

Liam easily sidestepped the issue. "I'm sorry. I was wrong. There are no girls as beautiful as you. Your beauty is truly unique." He took a step closer to her as he smiled and showed Electa one of his hands. "My name is Liam, by the way."

Electa couldn't help but grin at Liam's comment. She was certainly beautiful, but most beautiful women like her didn't see themselves as so incomparable. For a moment, Liam's words touched an old part of her, breaking the coldness of her gaze.

"I wonder if you, Liam, are a self-confident fool or someone looking for his own demise. You're wounded and yet you're flirting with me?" She asked with interest.

"I'm not looking for my end, that's for sure." He let his aura of seduction work itself out without saying more.

She couldn't help laughing, realizing that he really was a self-confident fool. "Hmm, I see. I'm Electa. I liked you, so let me give you some advice. Find someone else. I'm not interested."

"What is a beautiful woman like you are interested in, Electa?"

"Getting stronger, fighting, training, cultivating," she said as she looked at the clerk on the other side of the counter. She picked up a token for the fight she wanted to take part in against a third realm beast.

Liam noticed this as he looked at the token in her hands, impressed by the level of difficulty of the fight she would have in the coliseum.

'She is going to fight a beast that is stronger than her... This woman is truly willing to risk everything to become stronger.' He liked what he saw and felt that she was truly perfect for him.

"We're not so different after all..." He said softly to her, "Electa, I'd like to talk to you more. What do you say we meet in five hours? I'm really interested in having lunch with you."

As she stared at him, her eyes narrowed, sensing the all-too-familiar persistence of a man. Despite her genuine enjoyment of talking to Liam, she couldn't help but notice the typical male behavior shining through.

'Why do men behave like this? Didn't I already make it clear that I'm not interested? Don't they understand how to be rejected?' She briefly closed her eyes, sensing an unusual increase in her heart rate. 'Perhaps I should just face it and be honest with him. The truth about me is frightening. If he finds out, he might lose all hope in himself.'

Liam was not the first person to approach Electa. Her beauty was truly captivating, drawing the attention of men wherever she went and causing women to look at her with envy. Besides the boy standing in front of her, she had been courted by over 40 students since arriving in City Thirteen.

Most of these men had persisted relentlessly before eventually giving up, and a few of them had harassed her for weeks. She had even resorted to wearing larger, baggier clothes in an attempt to evade the incessant advances from men.

Now, she found herself uncertain about whether she wanted to endure this process yet again for the 41st time. Consequently, she resolved to experiment with a different approach.

"If that's what you want, then alright. I will grant you an opportunity, but please refrain from further insistence, as I may have to take action..." With a firm tone, she walked towards the wing of the cages, ready to assist in the removal of the beast she had selected to battle.

"Hehe, don't worry." He walked beside her, letting his seduction skills work.

As he did so, a few women in the area looked at Liam differently, sensing that he seemed special this morning, more charming, with a charming smile.

His ability worked most strongly on women within a few feet of him, but it could really affect women in a wide area. In short, all the women in this area where he and Electa were walking would now feel the effects of his ability as long as he was stimulating it.

But Liam wasn't worried about that, nor was he expecting any great results from the effect of this ability on those other women. His ability would have a minor effect on those who were far away from him. Apart from finding him more attractive than he actually was, it was unlikely that any of these women would fall in love with him just because of it.
