Chapter 258: Master Needs to Toughen Up
The next day, Damian lay flat on the floor beside the completely ruined bed, finally waking up.
His hair was messy, his robe was nowhere in sight, and his entire body felt like he had just gone through another fucking round inside the Sword Tomb.
For several seconds, Damian simply stared blankly at the ceiling.
"What the hell happened to me...?"
He slowly turned his head.
The moment he saw Violetta, his expression immediately stiffened.
She was already awake.
Not only that, she had apparently taken a bath, groomed herself, fixed her long hair, and changed into a fresh, elegant robe.
She looked completely fine.
Damian stared at her in disbelief. "The fuck...?"
Violetta heard him curse and calmly turned around.
A gentle smile appeared on her face. "Why are you cursing so early in the morning, Master?"
Damian immediately pointed at himself while still lying uselessly on the floor. "Look at me!"
Violetta blinked innocently.
Damian continued in disbelief, "I’m the Golden Core cultivator here, for God’s sake! How the hell are you already walking around normally?"
His eyes moved over her neat appearance. "You even had enough energy to take a bath and dress yourself!"
Violetta’s smile became softer. "Because I’m your first disciple."
Damian froze and stared at her for several seconds. "What kind of fucking explanation is that?"
Violetta gracefully stood and walked toward him.
She crouched beside Damian, her long hair falling slightly over one shoulder. "Also, Master..."
Damian immediately felt a bad feeling crawl up his spine. "What?"
Violetta tilted her head slightly, her beautiful expression remaining perfectly gentle. "Please don’t tell me that was your best last night."
Damian’s face stiffened.
For a moment, he simply stared at her in complete disbelief. "Goddammit, what the hell do you mean by that?"
He forced himself halfway upright and pointed accusingly at her. "Even those four women from my harem couldn’t fucking handle me!"
Violetta merely smiled beautifully. "Hehehe..."
Her eyes curved faintly. "They’re just your lowly disciples of this sect."
Damian’s eyebrow twitched.
Violetta leaned slightly closer, her voice still sweet despite the dangerous confidence hidden beneath it. "They’re not me, Master."
She rose gracefully and casually adjusted her sleeve. "So next time..."
Violetta glanced back at him, the faintest possessive spark appearing in her otherwise gentle eyes. "Please toughen up a little."
Damian remained completely motionless.
Violetta walked toward the door as though she had not just crushed whatever remained of his dignity. "Get some rest, Master."
The door closed behind her.
CLICK.
Damian stared blankly at it for several breaths and eventually, his face twisted.
"Goddammit! Where the hell did my kind, gentle disciple go?!"
Somewhere outside, Damian could faintly hear Violetta’s soft laughter. "Hehehe..."
Damian dropped back onto the floor.
"Fuck... I created a monster."
---
Damian remained on the floor for a little while longer before finally forcing himself to sit up and turning toward the system interface to see what he had obtained.
After all, just like what had happened with his harem members before, even a portion of his essence could count as a gift and trigger a reward return.
Considering Violetta’s ridiculous 400x multiplier, Damian was naturally curious about what the hell the system had prepared for him.
A moment later, the familiar notification appeared.
---
[Target: Violetta]
[Gifted Item: A Sliver of Royal Grade Chaos Dragon Essence]
[Extreme 400x Multiplier Triggered]
[Reward Generated]
[Royal Grade Chaos Dragon Bloodline]
[Qi Refinement Realm Foundation Perfected]
[Foundation Establishment Realm Foundation Perfected]
[Golden Core Realm Foundation Perfection Initiated]
---
The moment Damian saw the notifications, his eyes immediately brightened. "Hahaha... I fucking knew it."
His gaze lingered on the words [Extreme 400x Multiplier Triggered], and whatever remained of his exhaustion suddenly felt far less important.
Damian glanced toward the door Violetta had just walked through and clicked his tongue.
"She acted like last night wasn’t even that impressive, yet she still gave me an Extreme reward. Damn... what a tsundere disciple."
He quickly turned his attention back toward the system to examine exactly what he had received.
"Hehehe... Let me see what kind of reward I got. After all, the Extreme Multiplier rewards I’ve received in the past were really fucking good..."
Damian’s eyes immediately locked onto the first reward.
His previously Noble Grade [Chaos Dragon Bloodline] had directly evolved into Royal Grade. "Finally."
His expression became increasingly satisfied. "My bloodline has finally reached Royal Grade."
The improvement alone was already enormous.
His [Chaos Dragon Bloodline] affected far more than his raw physical strength.
It influenced his body, pressure, vitality, and overall combat potential. Raising it by an entire grade was definitely not some minor improvement.
However, Damian became confused when he looked at the remaining rewards.
His brows slowly furrowed as he rubbed his chin, not kowing hwat they meatn.
"System, what exactly is going on with these other rewards? I remember my foundation already being perfected before."
The interface immediately flickered.
---
[Clarification: Previous Foundation Repair and Perfection only corrected and perfected Host’s cultivation foundation at that specific stage.]
[The current rewards represent complete Realm Foundation Perfection.]
[Qi Refinement Realm Foundation Perfection: Permanently perfects Host’s Qi Refinement foundation, allowing Qi to circulate through the body with greater purity, stability, and efficiency while strengthening the physical body.]
[Foundation Establishment Realm Foundation Perfection: Permanently perfects Host’s Foundation Establishment foundation and dantian structure, significantly increasing Qi capacity, stability, control, and future growth potential.]
[Golden Core Realm Foundation Perfection: Will fully activate once Host reaches the Peak Golden Core Realm. Host’s Golden Core will undergo further perfection, producing comprehensive improvements to its quality, stability, capacity, and overall foundation.]
---
Damian stared at the explanation and his breathing gradually became heavier.
This was completely different from what he had originally assumed.
The previous rewards had repaired flaws and perfected his foundation at particular points in his cultivation.
These rewards were far more ridiculous.
They had retroactively perfected his entire foundation throughout the Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment Realms.
Every step he had taken through those realms was essentially being refined into the best possible state.
Even his current Golden Core Realm had already received a future perfection reward waiting to activate once he reached the peak.
Damian slowly clenched his fist. "Damn... Just... goddamn."
He stared at the system screen with increasingly excited eyes. "What a fucking ridiculous reward."
A Royal Grade [Chaos Dragon Bloodline] alone would have been enough to satisfy him.
Instead, Violetta had also given him complete foundation perfection across two previous cultivation realms and another waiting for his current realm.
Damian slowly turned his head toward the door again and soon a shameless smile returned to his face. "Hehehe... Violetta."
His eyes practically shone. "Even after becoming a terrifying woman overnight, you’re still my best fucking treasure chest."
