Nirvana? Frost Crocodile Dragon

It was two days before the official magister exam.

In addition to having at least 500 kilograms of strength, one would also need to cultivate magic power to become a magister.

Of course, the apprentice magister examination did not test one's magic power.

At the level of apprentice magister, their magic power was still too weak, which could not play a decisive role in battle.

Only the following magister examinations would begin to test the amount of magic power.

To become a magister, he had to manifest his magic power into a magic core.

The next step was to become a tier-two magister who could use magic cores to support his recovery and attack.

Tier 3 required the integration of the monster core into the body.

Tier 4 required the magic core to become solidified.

This was the cultivation method after becoming a magister. Every path was incomparably arduous and lengthy.

At the moment, Catherine could only stay down to earth.

One step at a time. She would first practice the channeling method and accumulate her magic power before anything else.

After dinner, Austin went to take a bath.

Austin did not work today, but he had been busy all day and was rather tired.

As he soaked in the warm tub, Austin's entire body relaxed. His pores relaxed, and sleepiness arose.

After a while, the system notification sounded again.

"Ding… host is taking a bath. Your cells have evolved and obtained the ability to breathe underwater."

Austin, who was initially a little sleepy, immediately perked up.

Breathe underwater?

"You mean to breathe in the water like a fish?"

Austin immediately gave it a try.

He submerged his head completely into the water and did not deliberately hold his breath.

Soon, Austin realized that his breathing in the water was completely unobstructed. He did not even need to think about holding his breath.

"This is so amazing! I don't have gills, so am I breathing through my skin?"

As he pondered, Austin tried to find a scientific explanation.

But he soon gave up.

This world itself was the most unscientific existence!

Why try to explain the unknown with limited knowledge?

"This ability to breathe in water is something else. It's very suitable for swimming and bathing."

Austin dived back into the water, soaking his entire body in warm water.

After the bath, Austin returned to his room.

He continued to experiment around as he tried to make his cells evolve.

Austin sprawled on the floor and began doing push-ups.

One, two, three…

Austin's arms kept pushing and bending as he quickly finished a hundred push-ups.

"Ding… host is doing push-ups. Cell evolution. Increase strength by 0.5 kilograms."

When Austin heard that, he realized that doing push-ups indeed promoted cell evolution and increased his strength.

Although this growth was minimal at best, it was still one way to train.

"Normal push-ups are too easy. Time to do weighted push-ups."

Austin increased the difficulty by carrying the metal plates that Catherine had used to work on her strength on his back.

Austin put on a total of one hundred kilograms as he laid on the floor and continued doing push-ups.

"Ding… host is doing push-ups. Cell evolution. Increase strength by 0.5 kilograms."

"Ding… host is doing push-ups. Cell evolution. Increase strength by 0.5 kilograms."

"Ding… host is doing push-ups. Cell evolution. Increase strength by 0.5 kilograms."

…

The system notifications rang continuously while Austin's strength increased at a visible rate.

Austin only ended his training after midnight.

After removing the metal plates, Austin felt his limbs go numb and sore. Exhausted, he fell asleep.

The next day.

Austin got up as usual and went to work with his father at the East District's magical beasts farm.

After his father entered the feeding area, Austin sneaked out again to look for opportunities to train.

Austin began training his body resistance.

The more hits his body took, the more his cells would evolve and become more resilient.

It would not be a joke that he would be invulnerable to all weapons when he trained enough.

In addition, by coming into contact with the Long-horned and other beetles, his cells could also evolve and increase Austin's physical strength.

Austin could make his epidermal cells harden and resist unavoidable attacks.

Offense!

Defense!

Austin made full use of his remaining time to train, train, and train.

On the third day, it was finally time for the official magister exam.

Dearka took half a day off.

After breakfast, the family sent Catherine to the official magister exam.

The rendezvous point was at the military transport station in the northern district.

The latest timing was nine o'clock, so she must not be late.

Otherwise, they would disqualify her from the exam.

Austin drank his soy milk and ate his fried dough sticks calmly.

Dearka and his wife reminded Catherine repeatedly.

Who knew that their son Austin would be taking the exam too?

"Have you heard? The Phoenix successfully broke through to become a tier-five magister at three in the morning today with the title, 'Nirvana'!"

"Around five o'clock, the Phoenix went to the Frozen Mountain Range alone and beheaded a monarch ranked beast, the Frost Crocodile Dragon."

"I heard that he is going to extract the magic crystal of the Frost Crocodile Dragon and grant it to the most outstanding person among the juniors. That person will be able to use it to consolidate a magic core and breakthrough to become a tier-two magister."

On the way, everyone was talking about the newly promoted tier-five magister, 'Nirvana'.

Currently, there had yet to be a tier-six magister in the world, so the best experts were tier five magisters.

With only a few tier-six magisters in the world, tier-five magisters were the strongest and unrivaled expert below a tier-six magister.

If a country had a new tier-five magister, they would definitely publicize it to improve their status and global influence.

"Extreme Frost Crocodile Dragon, magic crystal…"

Catherine was also watching television with a look of envy.

The magic crystals of vicious beasts were like the magic cores of magisters.

Therefore, only commander-rank beasts and above could condense magic crystals.

Monarch rank soul crystals like the Frost Crocodile Dragon were even more precious.

He did not expect that the newly promoted tier-five magister, Phoenix, would be charitable enough to announce his wish to bestow upon the best junior magister.

With a monarch rank soul crystal, it would probably be easy to break through from a tier-two magister to a tier-three magister and condense a physical soul core. He wouldn't have to worry about his magic core becoming unstable.

"Alright, time to stop watching. These are too far away.

"We should look to pass the official Magister exam first."

Dearka stroked Catherine's head and smiled warmly.

"Okay." Catherine nodded.

She was wearing a combat suit from the Vulcan series, made of rare material, Magic Silk. It was tightened against her youthful and energetic body, making her legs look exceptionally long.

On one side of her thigh was a short sword, and on the other side was the Type Two Vulcan Magick pistol. On her back was a tactical backpack containing the Vulcan series Magick Shotgun
