"Here goes nothing." With that, Luke uncorked the potions under the curious gaze of Theia and one by one gulped them down.

After gulping them down, surprisingly he got the same feeling, like all the previous tempering potions.

Because its taste also followed the same and even its effect was the same, or maybe the system’s tempering potions were like that.

Though, the next moment he felt the pain, ’Control.’ So he forcefully suppressed it, which didn’t start after the first potion, but occurred after the 10th potion.

WHOSH!

Next instant, the huge burst of Aether came out from Luke’s body, due to the breakthrough of the first realm and reaching the second realm, which even generated a small shockwave, resulting in the surrounding dirt and stones being swept away from the nearby hill area.

Meanwhile Theia’s hair just swayed more gracefully, and her purple robe fluttered a little, and nothing else happened to her.

’Interesting.’ Still, this thought came into her mind, as she felt curiosity towards Luke.

Because she could see that her liege was making his body strong with this cultivation method.

While mages followed the path of mana, so they didn’t focus on their body.

She also noticed that he didn’t have mana, instead he had Aether, which she already realized was the thinner form of mana.

So while she was being surprised by this, Luke’s breakthrough of the first stage finally completed, and his second realm of Bronze Knight also stabilized perfectly, all thanks to the system potion.

"Good." Which resulted in these words escaping his mouth, because the feeling of breakthrough was so great, like an euphoria, and right now he also felt that his body was filled with new strength and even his Aether increased so much compared to before.

"Let’s continue." So without wasting any more time, he uncorked another potion before gulping them as well.

Though this time, it took 20 potions before he completed his breakthrough from the second stage to the third stage.

And this continued for 2 hours, as he reached the 9th stage of Bronze Knight.

But this time, Luke had consumed 320 potions for his breakthrough from the 9th stage of Bronze Knight to the peak of Bronze Knight.

"Huff..." All this breakthrough took a heavy toll on his body and mind, which resulted in his breathing being rough.

So he paused for a few moments, while also taking a deep breath to calm down his nerves.

Even though his pain resistance seemed to have gone high up, since he kept bearing the aftermath of his titan transformation and all the pains that came after that.

As Luke was taking a break for a few moments, Theia watched calmly Luke’s sweat-covered body, and the black goo on his body.

Which was already stacked again in large quantity.

Even though she had already cleaned them many times, using wind and water magic,

but even after that, his breakthrough from Bronze Knight to peak still brought too much of this waste outside.

’Why does his body contain more Aether than others?’ So while she cleaned his body with magic again, she was thinking about other peak Bronze Knights in the territory.

Who seemed like children, while Luke seemed like an adult, if they compared their Aether.

Though she didn’t know about their strength comparison, but seeing that he was lord here, it should definitely be high.

If the system heard her thoughts, he would just laugh. Since Luke was way different from a normal knight.

Because his body was being prepared to hold a titan bloodline, and even the lowest bloodline of a pure titan

could destroy any Bronze Knight to paste in a matter of seconds.

Which was why Luke was better and stronger than even a peak Bronze Knight at this moment.

Of course, that didn’t include other high rank species, the system was talking about Humans.

Still one sarcastic remark the system would definitely throw at Theia, "If you get surprised by this, then see his titan transformation."

And the system was completely right regarding this, because in Theia’s world, only magic was the cultivation.

So they didn’t know much about Forbidden power and even more about the firstborn of the universe of their worlds.

"Finally." Luke muttered excitedly, as he looked at the last 25 potions in his hand, which would make his peak to absolute peak, suitable for breakthrough to Silver Knight.

Though Theia was standing at a distance with a calm expression, because Luke’s earlier talk about phenomena or disturbance didn’t happen, which she had already expected.

Luke also noticed this, at which his mouth twitched a little.

Since he always got unwavering respect from his summons, so this new feeling was hard to adapt to.

The feeling of being underestimated.

Of course he knew that his cultivation was right now an E rank, while she was B rank. There was definitely no comparison.

Still!

’Let’s wait for her reaction while I break through to Silver Knight.’ Luke thought with a normal expression.

Though there was a little bit of worry in there, since even he didn’t know what would happen, or what type of reaction this world would have.

Thinking this, he gulped down every single potion one after another.

And then finally, after half an hour of brutal process, of flesh tearing, Aether channels expanding, Aether core expanding, and bones becoming strong,

while other processes which could make his body flawless, he was ready.

Ready for the breakthrough.

"Damn, that was one hell of a ride." Luke cursed out, because the last tempering pain or torture in one way was more than the combined previous nine stages.

If Theia had not soothed his mind overtime with her dream power, then he would have been knocked out for sure.

Still he became amazed by Theia’s control of dream power.

Even though everyone who had an Origin skill could control their Origin element to use them raw,

but this brought the question of mastery, which was difficult at lower levels, due to the mind not having fully developed, or not being able to bear the burden of such complex data.
