379 Chapter 372 : : 400
Rex was able to use the «Fate Sharing Ring» this way, but it was only feasible on his clones, and not on others, not even Lerna. In the end, he guessed that it was maybe because of the new soul inside them that was made after the soul embryo formed from the segment of his own soul, or maybe it was just because of Absolute Loyalty. There was also a third possibility, it may be because he wasn't strong enough, an Artifact Treasure grows with their host, so maybe he could only use it on his clones for now.
Res stopped focusing on the ring and started absorbing the spirit cores from the side.
'Tch Tch… It takes so much effort to increase strength,' Rex thought.
[You always let me see the new heights of shamelessness a human entity could reach,]
'Humph,' Rex snorted and summoned the Mini-Status screen.

Rex couldn't help but smile at the sight of the three-digit number at Status points. He still had some high-grade spirit cores left but didn't use them himself, he had a monster race kid and wife to take care of, He could raise their level using Exp but he could do nothing to their base status.
Filling someone's stomach or letting them have a nutritious diet to raise their base fitness were completely different things.
Someone who needs Vitamin A can fill their stomach with high-quality food but it won't necessarily give them Vitamin A.
'Last time when we fought Leech, Lerna lasted way longer than me, it wasn't just because of her cultivation base but her race, although my base END probably already rivals her or may have even surpassed her but she wasn't at her limit, after she uses Hydra's True Essence in the future she would again become stronger.
If I can't rival her even in base status then what right would I have to claim to protect her? She isn't the only one, if my appetite is bigger then I need to take responsibility.
I will first focus on END to be able to fight longer battles especially with beings of higher life form, I can't increase INT, for now, I will just slightly raise WIS, it isn't good my physical body cannot keep up with my thinking speed by a big margin.
I also need to increase VIT to increase my overall HP and HP regeneration speed, and the last remaining points can be added to AGI to advance its grade,' Rex thought.
[I believe you,]
Rex's lips twitched. The words didn't seem to carry any good feelings.
He shook his head and was about to proceed with the plan when Rose spoke again.
[The Regeneration skill is already on the verge of reaching max level, so there isn't a need to add many points in VIT,]
Seeing that this time, Rose seemed more serious, Rex agreed.
'Hmm… 287 in END, 78 in WIS, 13 AGI, and last 22 in VIT,' Rex allocated the points. Of course, he didn't literally allocate them all at once or the backlash might be lethal so he allocated them in batches, in a way that he could take advantage of Limit-Break and avoid the backlash at the same time.
The same flow of energy current assaulted his body, nurturing it, tempering it, and transforming the muscles all over his body to gain the desired result.
When the process was completed, his clothes here soaked wet in sweat, precise muscle lines were visible all over his body.
Rex stood up and stretched his arms, he felt like his stamina was endless, he had a feeling that if it was the battle of attrition he could fight five Rex from before.
'I wonder how long I could fight with that Leech now,' Rex thought, he then summoned the status screen.

'I am poor again. Huh? Wait, Rose there is some kind of error in base HP regeneration, it's double,' He was sighing when he saw the zero in front status points but then he noticed the absurd change in HP regeneration.
[There was a notification, you missed earlier,]
'Show me,' Rex said.
[Congratulation! Due to your Base Physique surpassing the level of Strength-Type Special Physiques, your bloodline being stimulated, your physical status getting balanced reaching harmony with each other, and achieving complete synchronization with your Special Physique, you have awakened the Multi-Type ability 'Supreme Golden Body',]

'Should I go and check if there is an ongoing thunder tribulation above the castle?' Rex wondered.
He first took deep breaths to calm himself down, he was wondering if he was the first person to have higher health regeneration compared to Qi regeneration then again if all his Yin, Yang, and Spirit Qi regeneration are combined then it would be a different situation.
'Why did you leave out the increase in Qi regeneration? Maybe you should also add a boost in my INT and WIS, no there is also SPT and LUC,' Rex said in a sarcastic tone.
[...]
'Hey speak,' Rex said.
[I'm only telling you the result, the ability is related to only your physical body and it doesn't affect anything related to Qi, the reason for Qi consumption reduction is because earlier when the Qi normally travels out of your physical body, a part of it gets wasted when it crosses the muscle barrier, your muscles has now gained very high affinity to your Qi and puts almost to no resistance against it, that's why the Qi consumption is reduced,]
'So that's how it is, wait a minute if my HP regeneration is almost doubled and my body's base status is way above than before... Should I ask her if I'm qualified to take the second Blood tempering Pill?' Rex suddenly thought.
After a moment of thought, he decided to rest and study the Book Of All Cure for now.
It would be weird if go to meet Zakiya while having trouble to control the newly gained strength. It's better to get used to the new status before asking her for the pill.
The reason he wanted to get the pill was to increase his blood cultivation, and why does he want to increase his blood cultivation when he already gained so much strength? It is because Rex knows, he knows just how much do the heavens love him, how much do the Heavenly Dao Laws want to throw a Celestial Tribulation on his head instead of the expected Thunder Tribulation.
....
10 miles away from the Frozen Flame city...
A man with snowy white hair was running with a solemn expression on his face, he was wearing a tight black suit that clung to his body, he turned and saw more than twenty Red Haired Gorillas chasing after him like there is no tomorrow.
{How long are you going to run? Fight back,} The voice of a woman rang in his head.
The man's face became dark.
'Dammit... Altan!!!' Andusk inwardly shouted.
Earlier, Altan told him that 'Rex found a way to increase their strength' and that much was true but then he added, 'I am busy, I'm at a crucial point in Project AS so I can't go now, would you go in my place?'
Andusk came to the mentioned location only to see Zakiya lying on the beach chair, enjoying the sunbath, he already had a bad premonition but her next words cleared all his doubts.
So you are tacking his place?
And here he was... Doing training in Altan's place, who was supposed to train in Rex's place.
As for why his training like that would benefit Rex?
There is a saying, depending on the way it is used, even the most useless things can have great uses.
Rex loved this saying.
That's why when he got the «Fate Sharing Ring», he decided to use every last bit of its abilities to the limits.
When he realized that he could share his real-life experience with the clones then why can't they share his life experience with him.
And it worked!
Although Mind Arts could allow him to do that but it would put a lot of strain on their mind, clones can share feeling at close range and memories when the main body is in contact but life experience? No, they cannot or almost every powerhouse in the cultivation world would make clones to learn countless martial arts while their main body would be just fooling around.
But now, Rex was doing exactly that.
When Rex told Zakiya about his idea, she lacked the words to describe her feelings.
If Crimson Sun Emperor was here and knew what Rex was able to do, he would probably bang his head on the outer walls of the tomb until it breaks.
Then again, the ability the «Fate Sharing Ring» would give birth to in his possession although similar but might not be the same.
Zakiya knew Rex had a balanced physique and high cultivation base, the thing he lacked most was experience.
At that time, Zakiya suggested a plan to make a hell training session to train all three of them at the same time then share their experience but Rex was already prepared, he said he was making the new Ancient Teleportation Portal, and the clones aren't at his level and needs time to cultivate to his level so they can't train together.
After hours of bargaining, he exchanged the peace of the two clones to escape hell.
.....
On the other side...
In the open grounds of the region around Frozen Flame city.
Altan looked at the 4 irregular round objects consisted of smaller hexagonal plates attached together.
Their surface was slate-grey with thin black lines making matric like formation all over them. If one looked closer they would realize that those objects were continuously absorbing the spiritual Qi from the surrounding like how a sponge absorbs water.
All of them were as big as mammoth, but their weight was hard to tell because they were tightly attached held by the mechanical hands coming out from the blue metallic platform below them. It looked like they would fly away like an air bubble in water if they got released.
Altan checked the time in his watch, then looked in the direction of the sun.
"Hmmm... Was using the alloy from Pure Earth Repelling, Flowing Wind Jade, and Feather Sand really a good idea? Whatever, we won't know until we try, get ready for the first one," He waved his hand and the Working Bot standing beside him grabbed the iron lever.
"Now," Altan said.
On his command, the Working Bot pulled the lever.
The mechanical hand holding onto the first object released it, the second it was released, the black object dashed into the sky like it was fired from the cannon.
Altan looked at it for a second before he again started noting the time in the watch.
