'Damn it...it's taking longer than I expected,'

Inside a cultivation abode, a young man in orange robes sat in a cross-legged position as he cursed inside his mind about something.

The young man was none other than Henrick whose bloodline had been temporarily sealed by his master and the old man Zerg.

From that moment onwards, his life became a little more difficult than he expected.

'It's been 10 days since I am stuck in the peak stage 1 body cleansing realm and the pain while tempering my muscles still remained the same,'

'Even the 'Endurance' skill is not helping me much with the pain,'

'I need to endure a little more pain and then I can complete one set of tempering muscles with the pure internal fire energy,'

'I will continue to temper my muscles and enter the muscle strengthening'

With a face full of frustration, Henrick continued to recall his life for the past 10 days; however, in the end, he decided to continue tempering his muscles as he wanted to get used to the temporary sealing of bloodline condition.

'Even though it seems foolish to endure more pain by sealing the bloodline, it is for the best. Moreover, once my bloodline is unsealed, then my cultivation speed will be faster than anybody and no one will match my battle prowess,'

Thinking about his future cultivation speed after the bloodline was unsealed, Henrick felt a great motivation to reach a higher cultivation realm. So that he could use his bloodline without any fear of anyone.

With that thought in his mind, he started attempting to break through to the muscle strengthening realm.

'First, absorb the fire elements into the body,'

Soon, he once again started remembering the basics regarding the muscle strengthening realm as he followed one step after another.

'Second, move the pure internal fire energy from the dantian,

'Spread it to the entire body while enduring the slight pain from the pure internal fire energy,'

'Next, combine the pure internal fire energy with the fire elements that are absorbed into the body earlier,'

'Aargh'

As soon as the fire elements and the pure internal fire energy combined, the pain he was experiencing earlier had increased by multiple times which made him groan in pain.

'Aargh...I can do it,'

Nevertheless, his determination to reach the immortal realm had dominated the pain as he moved the combined pure internal fire energy and the fire elements all over his body at the incredibly slow speed.

'Eek eek'

While Henrick was enduring pain and doing his best to break through to the muscle strengthening realm, the baby fire monkey was practising with the practice dummy.

After many days of practising with the practice dummy, the number on the neck of the practice dummy had already crossed 100 and at the same time, it looked sturdier than before.

.....

Outside Nick's cultivation abode,

"I wonder, whether Henrick broke through to the muscle strengthening realm or not,"

A young looked in the direction of Henrick's cultivation abode as he muttered to himself.

He was none other than Nick, the sect leader Gamo's other disciple and Henrick's senior brother (For the moment).

'Sigh...I am bored with all the bootlicking fellow disciples and I hope he comes out of his cultivation abode soon,'

Exactly eight days ago, he reached the muscle strengthening realm and his master, the sect leader Gamos had given him permission to go out of his cultivation abode.

However, all the outer sect disciples he had met started praising him for every small action that Nick does which irritated him because he knew they were only trying to get close because of his status as the sect leader's disciple.

'

'Master said that Henrick needs at least 5 more days to break through to the muscle strengthening realm until then I need to endure their empty praises,'

Nick felt that only Henrick would be honest with him, unlike those bootlicking outer sect disciples who wanted to enter into the good looks of the sect leader Gamos using him.

'As soon as he comes out of his cultivation abode, we will take a mission from the sect,'

Nick had his own plans regarding his future; however, he needed someone he could trust and be honest with him. So, they could go on sects missions together.

'I hope Henrick will not get too comfortable after becoming the master's disciple,'

With head full thoughts, Nick went back into his cultivation abode as he started cultivating to increase his cultivation realm.

....

Back in Henrick's cultivation abode,

'Aargh...just a little more,'

While enduring the pain from tempering his muscles, Henrick continued as there was only a very little portion left to temper. So, with his full determination, he wanted to finish the tempering.

'As long as I complete it, I will be an official muscle strengthening realm cultivator,'

From the book that his master had given to him, Henrick learned that fact. So, he was working on it.

'Zap'

Soon, another 5 minutes passed by and all of a sudden, Henrick's body shined with a bright red-coloured light for a second before disappearing.

'Ding,

Congratulations to the master for successfully reaching the muscle strengthening realm.

'Ding,

A new 'Ancient fire demon' race's skill is awakened. Please check it.

'Ding,

A new mission with a deadline is generated by the system. Please check it.

'Phew'

As soon as the bright red- coloured light disappeared, Henrick received a series of system notifications that made him heave a sigh of relief.

'Fi...finally, I did it,'

'Thud'

Henrick didn't even have the strength to look at the system notifications as he collapsed on to his stone bed before falling asleep.

'Eek eek'

'Master'

As soon as the baby fire monkey noticed its master fell unconscious all of a sudden, it ran towards the stoned bed and continuously tried to wake him up from his unconsciousness with a face full of worries.
