I Build a Floating City in the Apocalypse – Chapter 87

Chapter 87

“Success!”

Fang Bai exclaimed at this moment, while Wang Kai, after his excitement subsided, stood up and went to Fang Bai’s side.

“Village Chief, fierce, too fierce, you can actually increase body attributes through cultivation, you’ve practically created a new job path!

Village Chief, I’ve recovered, can we continue?”

Looking at the excited Wang Kai, Fang Bai rolled his eyes.

“Do you think this is something you can just continue whenever you want?”

Fang Bai gestured to the Spider Demon Crystal Core in his hand.

“The elements inside are used up. It’ll take at least a day for it to naturally recover.

So, cultivation can only be done once a day. Looking at the time, it should be around forty minutes, any longer…”

Fang Bai scanned Wang Kai’s internal body state and then said.

“You now have a lot of unrepaired hidden injuries and淤blood in your body. It doesn’t matter now, but if the cultivation time exceeds an hour, I estimate it will affect your combat effectiveness, and it will take a long time to recover. In the long run, I’m afraid it will cause hidden injuries. Forty minutes is enough for now. We’ll appropriately extend the time later when your strength increases.

Now just honestly wait for your body to recover. It should take about a day. During the time you’re not cultivating, continue leveling up and increase your Mental Power to ten points.”

Fang Bai then asked,

“What’s your Mental Power now?”

“Six points.”

“That’s alright, two level-ups will be enough to reach ten Mental Power. Okay, go ahead, hurry up and level up twice. Come to me around this time tomorrow. Also, go call Bai Qing and Wang Xiong over.”

“Okay!”

Wang Kai was just about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and turned back to ask,

“Village Chief, what do you call this cultivation method, this job path?”

A name?

Fang Bai pondered for a moment upon hearing this, many thoughts surging in his mind. Finally, a term surfaced in his mind.

Knight!

“Knight, I guess. We already have Warrior, so let’s call this Knight. After all, I’m a Mage, and Mages have Knights as followers. The ones I create, the ones that need my assistance to cultivate, will be called Knights!”

Fang Bai said slowly. Wang Kai excitedly muttered upon hearing this,

“Knight, Knight, Village Chief, don’t worry, I will definitely become an undefeated Knight who will always guard you!”

“Get out.”

Fang Bai scolded with a smile.

“Alright.”

After Wang Kai left, Fang Bai looked at the empty Spider Demon Crystal Core in his hand. At the current rate of the crystal core absorbing elemental power, let alone a day, it wouldn’t even be full after three to five days.

With a thought, Fang Bai formed a Blood-red Shield spell model, placing the crystal core at its core.

The last trace of earth elemental power within the crystal core flowed into the spell model, accelerating the attraction of external earth elements into the crystal core. Unlike when circulating within the human body, these elements wouldn’t be intercepted and consumed when circulating externally, but would instead converge within the crystal core.

This way, the crystal core could recover in about a day.

Fang Bai then took out two more Spider Demon Crystal Cores, one he had hunted himself, and the other that Wu Xing from Qing Stone Mountain Company had exchanged with him.

“The city center?”

Fang Bai muttered softly.

“A harsh environment has its advantages, but a comfortable environment also has its own strengths.

I, Fang Bai, may not necessarily be weaker than you.”

In the end, Fang Bai still gave up on using this cultivation method to strengthen his own body. For now, his main combat power came from being a Mage. For a Mage, increasing Strength and Constitution wouldn’t directly improve combat effectiveness. It was better to cultivate another capable Knight who could act independently.

Just like Wang Kai said, Fang Bai needed a few guardian Knights who could stand in front of him during battles.

Knights needed Mages, but Mages also needed Knights!

“Village Chief, you wanted to see us?”

Bai Qing asked as soon as he arrived. Wang Xiong also looked at Fang Bai. Their expressions were normal. Fang Bai suddenly realized that Wang Kai hadn’t told them about the Knight thing, even though one of them was at the same level.

“Who said Wang Kai was reckless? At critical moments, Wang Kai isn’t reckless at all, right?”

This thought popped into Fang Bai’s mind. He then said to the two,

“Yes, I have something for you. Come in, first do a horse stance.”

“???”

People have different heights, weights, and builds, and their body structures are all different. Even the cultivation postures corresponding to the same spell model are different.

Fang Bai looked at the two, their cultivation postures generally the same but with significant differences in details, and pondered.

In less than ten minutes, Bai Qing was the first to fall to the ground. After resting for a while, Fang Bai constructed the spell model for him again and guided him into the cultivation state.

Sixteen minutes later, Wang Xiong fell. After a similar rest, Fang Bai constructed the spell model for him and guided him to continue cultivating.

“They should be able to cultivate independently after their Mental Power reaches ten, but they’ll still need guidance from a Mage before level ten.

So reliant on Mages, and created by Mages, calling them Knights is indeed correct.”

Fang Bai pondered while paying attention to their cultivation state with his Mental Power. However, it wasn’t long before something unusual happened.

“Hm? Why is the accumulation of hidden injuries in Bai Qing’s body so fast?”

Fang Bai observed Bai Qing’s injuries. In his perception, Bai Qing had clearly reached his limit. Forcing further cultivation would likely leave obvious injuries, potentially affecting his state and the next day’s cultivation, and even possibly leaving permanent hidden injuries.

Fang Bai checked the time and calculated briefly.

“Bai Qing’s total cultivation time was only sixteen or seventeen minutes.”

Fang Bai glanced at Wang Xiong and found that the rate of hidden injury accumulation in his body was also slightly faster than Wang Kai’s, but he could still continue cultivating.

“Is it because Bai Qing’s Constitution attribute points are the lowest, and Wang Xiong’s Constitution attribute points are also lower than Wang Kai’s?”

Fang Bai frowned slightly and immediately removed the crystal core from Bai Qing’s body.

“Hm? Is it over?”

Bai Qing was slightly taken aback when he saw Wang Xiong still continuing beside him.

“Your body has reached its limit. Continuing further will leave obvious hidden injuries, affecting your cultivation tomorrow. You’ll stop here for today.”

Bai Qing glanced at Wang Xiong upon hearing this, understanding the situation, and nodded.

“It might be because your Constitution attribute points are too low. Your body’s strength and self-healing ability are not as good as his. We’ll extend the time later when your Constitution becomes stronger. Look at how much your attribute points have increased.”

“One point in Constitution, Strength has also increased a lot, but it’s not reflected on the attribute panel.”

Bai Qing looked at the attribute changes on the attribute panel, his eyes filled with shock. He looked at Fang Bai, then at the attribute panel, and thought to himself,

“This is a Mage?!”

“Good. Then you go back first and call Wang Kai over for me. Come with him tomorrow, also at ten o’clock in the evening. Also, your usual leveling activities will continue as normal, but prioritize increasing your Mental Power attribute to ten first.”

“Okay.”

After Bai Qing left, Fang Bai continued to monitor Wang Xiong’s state while thinking,

“Bai Qing could only last for sixteen minutes, while Wang Kai was limited by the crystal core to forty minutes. Is this really just because of the difference in Constitution attribute points?”
