My Muscle System in the Mage World

This was still extraordinarily fast; in fact, this speed could be considered simply terrifying. However, for Aur, who was used to rapid progress, the current situation felt insufficient.

"The time here is ten times slower than in my world, so take your time, brat," Stella casually commented, her eyes filled with curiosity as she distinctly observed him. "An unknown creature who doesn't seem to be affected by the laws of this world—interesting."

She could already see it. If he were a normal person, no matter how many resources were consumed, increasing strength would be like a drop in the ocean for anything related to the body whether it was muscles or blood and Qi.

"He is different; perhaps he is the key to defeating the Divine Human Kingdom," her thoughts churned.

Countless forces had perished trying to attack this strongest power in the world, yet no force had even managed to dent the Divine Human Kingdom.

They were also one of the forces that had once waged war against the Divine Human Kingdom, but for their sect, the Kingdom didn't even have to lift a finger. Over time, the sect had gradually been destroyed.

This was one of the key reasons she had been born as the spirit of this world.

"Sigh, how many Tier Seven and Eight wizards was this world made from?" Stella sighed. "Even I was created by those who have long since died."

There was some regret in her heart, as well as an unspeakable anger. This anger stemmed from her very being, a reflection of the entire world's feelings.

Aur slightly turned his gaze to look at Stella with a scowl. "What happened to this woman all of a sudden?"

He shrugged it off casually and began to slowly consume the herbs again. His blood and Qi continued to condense more and more.

"By the way, how do I strengthen my cells?" Aur paused and looked at Stella again. "How do I strengthen my cells?"

"Well," Stella said, slightly extending her hand, "have you ever heard about purple lightning?"

"Purple lightning?" Aur hesitated, a strange discomfort washing over him at the mention of those words, sending a shiver down his spine.

"Yeah, purple lightning. This is grade two lightning that can only be formed by a Tier Four spell or higher." The corners of her lips curved upwards. "You're lucky, brat, that there is naturally formed lightning in this world; if not, your progress would be limited."

Her eyes held a hint of sarcasm.

After all, to her, Aur was just a young brat who hadn't experienced much at all.

Even if he was powerful due to his physique, which made him likely immune to the laws of this world, he was still inexperienced.

But to her astonishment, Aur maintained a calm expression as he lightly spoke, "Take me there."

"Haha, only when you feel the soul-rendering pain that would make you beg for death. After that, let's see if you can even make any movement," she sneered to herself.

"We don't have to go anywhere."

"I see."

Aur patiently stood still, his expression impassive.

The corner of Stella's mouth twitched in speechlessness before she waved her hand decisively.

….

Outside this white room, in a world of green, one could see an icy mountain on one side and a volcano on the other.

In the clear sky, the light from the sun moved at an extremely slow pace, gradually dimming as it slowly shifted.

Replacing the hot temperature were clouds; a dense blanket of them covered the world as far as it could stretch and as far as the eye could see.

Then a flash of lightning flickered across the sky, followed by terrifying booming noises.

This persisted for a short time as the lightning grew increasingly intense, reaching a point where the world felt as if it were being drowned in lightning.

"What's happening on the surface, Mew One?"

"This is bad; the gods seem to be angry with us, Mew Five!"

"Run! Run!"

Some murmurs seemed to whisper from within the ground, but the lightning drowned out the sounds, making them barely audible.

Then it happened!

A flash of purple flickered in the sky just as it was about to strike the surface and obliterate anything and everything; the world seemed to pause.

Then the purple lightning vanished, as if it had never existed at all.

Inside the white room, from the extended hand of Stella, a small flicker of purple light appeared and was immediately sealed in what seemed like a jar.

"This is…" Aur stared at the purple lightning, cold sweat trickling down his forehead.

This reaction felt instinctive, as if his very soul was screaming at him that this was something dangerous—too dangerous for even his existence.

"This is purple lightning. Don't underestimate this; even a Tier Four spell could manifest it, but the condition for using this grade of lightning is at least Master Level mastery in Lightning Magic, even many Tier Six mages have tried their entire life and most don't get it."

"I see." Aur nodded. This was probably also why he hadn't seen Great Lord Lightning use it during their fight.

If she could have used this, the outcome might have been entirely different.

"How do you use it?"

"This can only be used in tiny amounts; if you use more than that, you would die instantly. Only a single strand can be used at a time." She paused. "You know how to strengthen your cells, right? If you don't, you can glance at the information I've given you. There should be elements there that can help strengthen you."

"I have," Aur nodded.

"Alright."

The jar's cap slowly rotated before a small strand of purple lightning emerged from it as if it were alive, then the cap closed itself again.

"Here, take it, brat."

Aur stood tall with his back straight. Before he could even react, the strand of purple lightning had already struck him.

Boom!
