Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 392

Chapter 392

Ten minutes later, the couple’s lips finally parted.

“I’m going to shower,” Ashton said softly.

After the earlier clash, a faint scent of blood still clung to him.

Martha’s cheeks burned red as she slipped into bed like a shy kitten. Her voice was sweet and tempting as she said, “Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

Meanwhile, at the Sloan residence, Eunice arrived in Roxy’s bedroom with the manuals she had gathered.

The moment she saw Roxy’s exhausted, haggard face, she was startled. “Roxy, what happened to you?”

“Nothing,” Roxy replied while rubbing her temples. “I’ve just been busy with the launch of Revita Serum and PureDew Mask. I’m a bit worn out.”

“Then you really need to rest. Don’t ruin your health,” Eunice urged.

Roxy asked, “Eunice, did you bring the cultivation manuals? I want to see if I can cultivate.”

What happened tonight had shaken her deeply and filled her with a strong sense of crisis.

Ashton’s threats kept echoing in her mind.

“Yeah. This one is the Detachment Technique. This is the Stellar Technique. And this is the Myriad Paths Technique.”

Eunice laid several manuals in front of her and continued, “Honestly, the technique doesn’t really matter. What matters is how efficiently you can turn the spiritual energy around you into your own strength.

“The speed of that process determines your progress. Pick any technique and give it a try. I’ll see whether you have talent for cultivation.”

Roxy nodded. Her eyes landed on the ancient–looking detachment technique manual. She followed the described breathing method, slowly drawing in spiritual energy from her surroundings.

With each breath in and out, a faint white glow appeared around her body, and a sacred force spread outward.

“T–That’s…”

Eunice stared wide–eyed at Roxy with disbelief written all over her face. Cold sweat beaded on her forehead.

Noticing her reaction, Roxy asked, puzzled, “What’s wrong?

“Roxy, is this really your first time cultivating?” Eunice asked. Her voice was literally shaking.

Roxy nodded. “Yeah. I was never interested in cultivation before.”

“Roxy, when you were regulating your breathing and drawing in spiritual energy just now, did you feel anything special? Did it feel hard to keep that energy inside your body?” Eunice asked carefully.

Roxy thought for a moment. “Nothing special, really. When I breathed using the Detachment Technique, spiritual energy flowed into my body smoothly and blended in effortlessly. Other than that, there wasn’t anything special.”

Eunice bit her lips nervously and pressed, “Let’s say you absorb 100% of spiritual energy. How much can you retain in your body, and how much can you integrate into your flesh and blood?”

+25 Bonus

Roxy regulated her breath once more with the Detachment Technique to draw in spiritual energy around her. After a moment, she blinked. “I guess about 90% of the energy stays in my body, Around 50% can be integrated Into my flesh and blood.”

The moment she said that, Eunice’s face twitched, and she fell into a deep silence.

“Eunice, what is it? Do I not have talent for cultivation?” Roxy asked, disappointment flashing across her face. Eunice looked at her with complicated emotions before finally saying, “If you don’t have talent, what does that make me?”

She never could have imagined that her best friend was a cultivation genius; not just any genius, but a rare one–in -a–million talent!

Retaining 50% of the spiritual energy absorbed already made someone an elite prodigy. Yet, Roxy could actually retain 90%. That could only be described as monstrous.

“Roxy, if you had started cultivating as a child, you’d already be standing at the top of the world by now. What a waste!” Eunice said with a sigh.

Roxy was confused. “What do you mean? Can I still cultivate?”

“Of course you can!” Eunice’s eyes lit up. “I need to carefully choose the right mentor for you. Roxy, your future achievements will be unimaginable.”

“Really? Then, is it possible for me to surpass Ashton?” Roxy brightened.

“Absolutely,” Eunice replied without hesitation. “That would be easy for you. Why limit yourself to just him? With your talent, top factions will surely fight over you. Even the Dominion Vanguard, the Empyrean Sentinel, and the Legion would beg you to join.”

Roxy wasn’t interested in any of that. She continued asking “If I start cultivating now, how long would it take to reach Ashton’s level?”

“Ashton? I don’t know his exact level, but I doubt it’s that high. In my opinion, if someone guides you properly, given your talent, a year might be enough. Maybe even less.
