Without mana, battle spirits couldn't be used.
So Jon took a seat next to the study table and opened the Basic Mana Cultivation Book, intent on learning it as quick as possible.
It was a method that used mental strength to sense mana and control it, allowing battle masters to absorb it into their magic sea, which would then allow them to perform extraordinary feats.
Worth noting, that was the only part in the human body that could retain mana until it was required.
Other parts of the human body, whether it be the heart or the mind, couldn't do the same, meaning putting mana in these areas of one's body would constantly cause it to leak out continuously and rapidly until one was drained of all their mana, and actually, this was the main reason why people without unique physique could never achieve anything in this path!
Behind Jon, Melody was laying naked on the bed with a blanket draped over.
Although much of her seductive figure was hidden, the bit that peeked out from beneath the covers made for quite an arousing sight.
The parts that were being talked about included her lickable jade-like feet with cute suckable toes, her thin, slender, kissable shoulders that gave off an air of fragility and feminity, her slender swan-like neck, and her beautiful face.
She was such a sexbomb whenever Jon felt tired of memorising the content of the book, just looking over his shoulder to glance at her would make him feel excited and motivated to keep learning until he succeeded.
However, this method of learning was a double edged sword as it didn't only motivate him but also filled his mind with dirty thoughts that made him want to fuck her again even though he had already fucked her for hours today.
Perhaps her bad habits had rubbed off on him.
Jon nodded, as if agreeing he had changed since she came into his life, and he has no doubt this change was influenced by her. If she was a nymphomaniac, then after fucking her multiple times every day for several months, he had become a satyriatic beast, his lust just as insatiable and wild as hers.
In the room, Jon wasn't the only one being diligent.
Melody was also holding the book titled "Basic Mana Cultivation" in her hand, doing the same thing as Jon.
"Young master, do you want to make a bet?"
"Consider me interested. What are we betting on?"
"Between us, the one who learns the Basic Mana Cultivation method the fastest will get to tie the other up and do whatever they want with them for three whole hour."
Jon coughed. He was really surprised by her proposal.
"You are more perverted than I thought."
"Women have their needs."
Melody licked her lips as she started at his side profile. She could already seem to see him all tied up and at her mercy as she rode him and fucked his brains out.
"You will lose," Jon declared confidently.
"We will see." Melody was dead set on winning this bet as she wanted to make her sultry, sex dreams come true.
In the end, Jon learned it faster than her as his mental strength was stronger.
Usually, a person with a 20-star mental strength would require around half a day of pure concentration to memorise the entire Basic Mana Cultivation Method. Because possessing five times more mental strength than such a person didn't mean you were only five times more talented than them, Jon, who had divine talent and a mental strength of 100-stars, was able to learn it less than an hour and a half.
This was the reason behind his confidence. This was why he had told Melody she would lose.
His mana went into his eyes and things he couldn't see before became visible.
Tiny bluish black dots were floating around him. These dots representes impure mana.
Impure mana was harmful and shouldn't be stored in one's magic sea without first being purified or it could cause irreversible harm.
Mental strength surged out of Jon in the shape of silver tentacles and started slicing at the dots of impure mana, separating the black from the blue, the former being the impurities and the latter being mana.
He absorbed all the mana he had purified, guiding it into his magic sea using his mental strength.
[You have practiced mana cultivation for a minute.]
[You have gained +100 units of Mana.]
[Your magic sea has filled up to the brim with mana.]
The Divine Brilliant Scroll reported him of his changes.
"You have succeeded!"
Seeing the magical display that just took place in the room, Melody became aware that Jon had learned basic mana cultivation.
"I am a divine talent for a reason." Jon stood up and turned towards her with a smile. "You've lost the bet. It's time to pay up."
Melody gulped as he stared at her like a beast eying its prey. "I-I am studying."
Jon pounced on her immediately. "Excuses are not allowed."
