Luan felt full of power, but he also felt very... stinky...

'I'm going to take a bath.' Seeing Ingrid approaching, he said, "Don't come closer. It's not what you're thinking; it's just that I stink. I've just expelled a lot of impure substances, so I'm going to take a shower and I'll be right back."

"That's alright. Okay, go ahead," Ingrid said.

After a refreshing shower, although it took a little longer to get rid of the stench of impurities, Luan felt invigorated.

Ingrid asked him to sit beside her. Looking at his side profile, she smiled and said, "Luan, how strong are you currently?"

Luan smiled. "Above the Third Order. If I use my Qi and the power of my body, it's something like 130 times stronger."

"That is so much." Ingrid let out an admiring sigh. "As expected from my boyfriend."

"For you to better understand how it works before I was in the stage: Formation of Nucleus Realm. Now, I formed my dragon core and went to the stage: Marrow Refining, which advances from 1-9. Then there is the stage: Temper, which is to temper the body, almost the same as refining the body, and is also from 1-9. Last but not least is Middle Vein Connection and it goes from 1-12."

"So it's like this." Ingrid nodded in understanding and asked, "What about Qi?"

"Do Qi is first and then Refining Qi, which both go from 1-9. Then, Blood Refining which is from 1-9, followed by Bone Refining which is also from 1-9, and lastly it is Cleanse of the Middle Veins and this one is a little more complicated, from 1-12," Luan explained, and added, "By the way, I'm in Blood Refining with Qi and Marrow Refining with Body."

"If I did just one of them, would it have the same result?" Ingrid asked.

"No. As much as it's a little similar in some parts, they're totally different, so doing both is the best, but it's also the hardest. Luckily you have me." Luan smiled.

"By the way, Japan asked for a truce," Ingrid said and laughed.

"It was to be expected. They cannot be without my support, let alone become my enemy. After all, I can be everywhere, and they even suspect that I can observe everything with clouds, as my power is to control the clouds," Luan said.

"And can you?" Ingrid asked.

"No, but they don't need to know that," he said as he laughed.

"Yes, true." Ingrid smiled.

"By the way, the tournament is happening. Aren't you interested in seeing it?" Ingrid asked.

"No. Mom is already dealing with that issue for me. I prefer to stay and cultivate. If before I had things to do at Dimas Corporation, now I have practically nothing. Right now, the issues they have are small; Mom can solve them easily... Speaking of her..." The sound of a helicopter was heard and it didn't take long for Maira to appear in their field of vision. When the helicopter landed, it disappeared like smoke.

"Mom, welcome back," Luan greeted her.

"Nice to see you, mother-in-law." Ingrid went to her and hugged and kissed Maira's cheek.

"So welcoming. Good, good." Maira smiled.

"Mom, how was it there?" Luan asked.

"There weren't any big things. That bunch of useless people called me for so little… Anyway, I also saw a bit of the tournament. It's in the finals already, and there's an interesting boy among them. His name is Henson. And strangely, he has a rooster. By the way, how can someone create an account that looks like a rooster? Did you have that option?" Maira was confused.

"Oh? Hahaha. This is interesting," Luan said. "Mother, he is not a person, but a rooster, in fact. Because of the changes that are happening, this rooster must have gained intelligence. I just don't know how he managed to register in the game." Luan pondered.

"But what's the use?" Ingrid asked, "Isn't it just humans who can use the body technique?"

"It was meant to be just for humans. Wait a minute, lemme see now." Luan picked up the smartphone.

"Animal Body Foundation... Meeh, how did this come about here?" Luan was amazed.

"So there really is something that lets animals cultivate." Maira sighed.

"Mm... Something is intervening in my game. Not even I can completely control it. But one thing I'm sure of, this was not done by humans," Luan said.

"Why animals?" Ingrid asked.

"No, maybe it's heaven's will? Honestly, I don't know," Luan said indifferently, "But whatever, at least he's following my rules. He also only gave a part of the technique to the rooster. More animals might possibly join the game. It's hard to say, but there's a chance, after all, soon other animals will get smarter too. For example: Pooh and Zeus. They could easily get into the game."

"So why not let them in? I mean, they can learn this animal body foundation technique. It would be of benefit to them." Maira said.

"It's not a bad idea. Okay, I'll set that up later," Luan nodded.

"Okay girls, keep talking without me," Luan said, "I'm going to negotiate with the nymphs."

"That's right? Go there then." Maira didn't care.

"Bye, my pretty~" Boldly Ingrid said and blew Luan a flying kiss.

Luan smiled and made clouds appear beneath his feet. Floating, he took a trip towards where the Nymphs' domain was. It didn't take long before Luan arrived at the front of the Nymph realm.

"We have been waiting for you Mr. Luan." The Queen of the Nymphs, Tifa, appeared with Luise at her side.

"Oh? Have you decided yet?" Luan asked.

"Yes, and we can't accept your offer." Tifa looked strange when she spoke.

"And why not?" Luan asked.

"We already made an agreement with the Brazilian government. They gave us weapons in exchange for all the fruits of the sniffer tree with them," Tifa replied.

"Heh. So it turned out to be that. You wouldn't even tell me an answer before and now you've gone to another source. Good, good, just great." Luan hadn't felt so angry in a long time. Not because he lost the fruit of the sniffer tree, but because he felt betrayed. After all, he tried to broach this subject first. The government probably didn't even know how to use these fruits, but they were wanting what he wanted and the Nymphs chose them.

"Therefore, there is nothing more to discuss," Luan said coldly. Tifa and Luise trembled in fear.

Before Luan left, he turned around again and said, "By the way, I hate feeling betrayed, but I'm not going to do anything to you. After all, it was your choice to switch with someone else. But I want you to understand what you lost by not befriending me."

Then he muttered, "Leviathan, come."

*CRASH!*

The whole world began to tremble in the presence of the sword that looked like a shark's fin. The sword roared and the nymphs vomited blood and fell from the sky, kneeling on the ground in terror.

After that, Luan made Leviathan go back and looked coldly at the nymphs on the ground and said, "When you need help, don't even think about calling me. Because, I will never, ever help those who stab me in the back like you just did." After saying that, Luan left with his flying cloud.

The nymphs remained on the ground, kneeling still, trembling with fear.

"We screwed up…" Tifa muttered desperately.

Luisa opened her mouth. She wanted to speak and comfort the queen but couldn't find the words to comfort her.
