"The high school league will be holding the Magical Beasts Hunting Convention tomorrow. Those who perform well will be rewarded. There will also be bonus points available for colleges and universities, including Ares College," Elizabeth said. "Also, we can bring along a family member with a cell activation of no more than 100%. So, I want you to accompany me."

The high school league Hunting Convention was held yearly. It was held not only to a.s.sess the students' combat abilities, but also to allow the students to see how they perform in real battles. At the same time, as a safety precaution, a family member was allowed to accompany each student. This was also so that the officials could observe the student's family situation, family education, and so on.

Also, as these high school students had always led sheltered lives, it would be dangerous for them to attend the Magical Beasts Hunting Convention on their own. The convention was carried out in a safe area outside of the base. This locale was chosen not only to ensure the safety of the students, but also to ensure that the students could easily proceed with their training, undistracted.

"Sure, I will go with you!" Steve laughed.

There was a flicker of cunningness in Elizabeth's eyes and a smile that revealed a scheme of hers had just now succeeded. The matter regarding Steve's sudden departure had been completely resolved by the time the two had finished a meal together.

Elizabeth knew that Steve had joined the army for her. Seeing this lovely gesture, she was moved in her heart and no longer blamed him.

It was a quick meal. Steve did not take out the meat of the White Flame Cat because he was afraid that Elizabeth would not be able to digest the normal boss grade magical beast's meat. Therefore, Steve used the meat from the Elite Magical Beast, which more than 70% cell activation. After the meal, both of them were ready to start practicing.

"With your current cell activation, you can start to practice the 'Fundamental Practices of Energy Absorption.' You can go online to buy a copy and I will teach you how to practice." Steve said, then promptly purchased an electronic version of the "Fundamental Practices of Energy Absorption" on the Internet.

What was taught in the army could not be imparted to others. However, a copy of the "Fundamental Practices of Energy Absorption" book could be purchased online at a cost of a million in original gold. An average family could never afford this price, but for Steve, it was no problem.

"I heard that the 'Fundamental Practices of Energy Absorption' could only be taught in the university. Besides, it costs one million for the book! Brother, you are too good to me!" Elizabeth's face flashed with excitement, then she gave Steve a kiss on the cheek.

"First, you learn on your own from the video, while I guide you from the side," Steve calmly said.

As Elizabeth watched the video, she started to practice directly. It was not long before Steve suddenly sensed the Cosmic Force around him being absorbed by Elizabeth at an astonis.h.i.+ng speed.

"a.n.a.lyzing… Elizabeth has mastered the 'Fundamental Practices of Energy Absorption' and has reached the top 10 in speed," the Heart of the Universe reported.

"Top 10?" Steve was immediately taken aback. "She has only watched it once and can already imitate it perfectly?"

The success of the "Fundamental Practices of Energy Absorption" depended on the potential of the individual and their imitation of the movements. This is what truly made a difference in one's speed of training.

As such, the Top 10 was the optimal state of the "Fundamental Practices of Energy Absorption!" Of course, if one followed the Heart of the Universe's adjustment method, the speed of reaching this state could get even get faster!

This adjustment method was needed for times when the practice state of the person in the video might not be suitably matched with the trainee's own practice state, as the video was made to suit the general public. As such, the Heart of the Universe was able to set the most appropriate state for each individual.

After Elizabeth had completed the set of procedures, her face suddenly revealed a surprised smile. She then said, "The 'Fundamental Practices of Energy Absorption' is very strong. I can feel my cell activation increasing already!"

Steve wanted to tell Elizabeth that it was not the "Fundamental Practices of Energy Absorption" that was strong, but that it was her, as she was very talented! In fact, she could perfect it by just looking at it once, which was impossible for ordinary geniuses to do!

"I have the Subatomic Serum here. Drink it and practice again. The effect this time will be even better," said Steve, as he took out the enhanced Subatomic Serum.

"Is this the Subatomic Serum? Why is it different than the one we usually see?" Elizabeth took the Fantasy Serum, a puzzled look on her face.

"I refine this on my own, so it's not like those that are on sale on the outside. I've got quite a few here. You can keep some for future practice. However, you can't let anyone else see these serums. And remember, never let anyone know that you have this kind of serum." Steve's tone was very serious.

Elizabeth trembled in her heart, as she had never heard Steve speak to her so seriously. She nodded her head and held tightly onto the serum.

Although the Fantasy Serum had caused a huge stir, it had affected more of the upper cla.s.s society, shaking the world of the top powers. Ordinary people like Elizabeth might have heard of the enhanced Subatomic Serum, but most had never even seen it with their own eyes.

After all, the auction held by the Masa Group was only accessible to the most powerful forces in the State of Doyle. After this group of people got the serum, they would immediately hide it away to conduct research on it.

They would never disclose it to the public. Therefore, ordinary people would only hear bits of news about the enhanced Subatomic Serum, but never really knew anything more about it.

Moreover, the serum was scarce, as there were just 18 bottles of the Fantasy Serum being circulated, and every one of those bottles was in the hands of the major forces. Hence, for the vast majority of people, the Fantasy Serum was just a legend. Even among the n.o.bles in the Wander City State, very few had ever seen the Fantasy Serum.

As a high school student, Elizabeth was even less aware of what exactly the Fantasy Serum was. As such, she had no idea that the Fantasy Serum in her hands was highly sought after by countless great n.o.bles, consortiums, and various top powers. Had she known that, she would have been even more shocked.

"Drink it down now, then I will teach you how to practice the 'Fundamental Practices of Energy Absorption,'" said Steve.

Elizabeth drank the serum and immediately felt the unprecedented hunger of her cells, which were eager to absorb more cosmic forces. At this point, she immediately began to practice the "Fundamental Practices of Energy Absorption."

Steve began to guide her from the side, instructing, "Keep your stomach muscles in… Raise your hips a little higher... Don't hold the muscles on your thighs too tightly... "

As he guided her, Steve's big hands wandered around Elizabeth's body, even pa.s.sing over some of her sensitive parts. As he did so, Elizabeth's face turned red.

Stimulated by Steve's big hands, which had just pinched her b.u.t.tocks unexpectedly, she couldn't help but raise herself higher.

"Yes, that's it." Steve moved his hands up and down Elizabeth's abdomen. At times, when his hands almost touched her plump b.r.e.a.s.t.s, he would quickly pull his hands back.

"Brother, if you want... I can let you touch them... " said Elizabeth, her face blus.h.i.+ng with shyness.

"Don't talk. Concentrate on the breathing rhythm that I am teaching you," Steve said, giving her a solemn rebuke.

Elizabeth was quick to concentrate once again, seeing that Steve was really serious in teaching her and was not trying to take advantage of her. In fact, if Steve had really wanted to take advantage of her, Elizabeth would not have refused him.

After she calmed down and refocused, Elizabeth found that her speed of absorbing the cosmic forces had really accelerated. It was now at least ten times faster than earlier!

"What's going on here? Isn't the limit of the 'Fundamental Practices of Energy Absorption' an increase of 10 times the original starting point? How did it exceed the limit?" Elizabeth was shocked.

Under the influence of the enhanced version Subatomic Serum, the amount of cosmic force absorbed by Elizabeth had become even more stunning!

Wind howling...

The cosmic force came forth like a breeze, while Elizabeth's cells absorbed it greedily. Feeling that the speed of practice was increasing, Elizabeth focused her thoughts and conscientiously practiced in accordance with the method that Steve taught her.

Although Steve's touches made her feel strange, she tolerated them. Gradually, Steve found that Elizabeth was getting better and better. In fact, she could get into an optimum state, even without his guidance!

"This little girl has grown up and became so talented!" Steve sighed.

Even though they addressed each other as brother and sister, their feelings for each other were more like childhood sweethearts than siblings. It would be a lie to say that Steve had no intimate feelings towards Elizabeth.

But, Steve was not going to make any bold moves before confirming Elizabeth's own feelings for him. If Elizabeth saw him simply as a brother and Steve accidentally stepped across the line, their relations.h.i.+p would be hard to repair.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth entered the best state of practice, her speed multiplying rapidly. If she kept practicing, she should be able to reach more than 20 times the limit!

Subsequently, Steve also began his own practice and wais now close to a level of 100% cell activation. In particular, after practicing the "Intermediate Practices of Energy Absorption," his training speed had vastly improved.

However, as time pa.s.sed, the cells would gradually slow down their growth. This was a natural phenomenon that made it more challenging to increase training speed. But, Steve estimated that his level of cell activation would still be able to reach 100% before he had to return to the army.
