Chapter 257

''This is the Golden Nectar Apple you might've heard about before. As far as I know every City has the chance to win the scraps from the Government.''

''If I remember right I have seen a lot of people in your compound with a faint Golden Body!''

Leslie was surprised for a moment before she realised. That's right her father had often sent his warriors off to compete in the youth Tournament.

But in her impression although the Golden Body is decent, it is far from enough to largely affect combat power.

''Ah, you're right. But it is better than nothing right? When I was a dutiful father I got my son a fully grown apple from the tree!''

''Unfortunately too long has passed and its effect is at most comparable to those withered pieces of crap''

The Old man sighed before the apple floated and landed in Leslies Palm.

Of course Leslie would eat it, but later. Right now she was more interested in the books on the wall.

Out of curiosity she walked forward and picked up a book on a small bedside table.

'Lady Lover Skill'

''Warrior Skill?'' Leslies eyes opened slightly. But when she saw the title she was slightly confused.

''Old Man what is this?'' She asked curiously.

''No clue! What my kids do is their business in the end.''

The old man was just as confused.

Hearing the reply, Leslie chucked the book into a Space Backpack and walked over to the bookshelf.

She pulled out a large book with the large Roman Numeral I wrote on its spine.

Her eyes trailed across the rest of the shelf, from I to II to III to IV the numbers kept rising.

The books varied in size but slowly Leslie realised that the entire bookshelves where just filled with books marked with roman numerals.

Out of curiosity she cracked open the 'I' Book in front of her.

'Day 1 of researching a practice method for Mortals without A Spiritual Root.

Today I found one of my youngest children, unfortunately they didn't have a Spiritual Root but I didn't give up. Using my knowledge of typical Soldiers training and Workout routines I immediately set them to work it out.'

'Day 2, Except for a slightly better improvement due to our family bloodline I see no real difference. Following the typical exercises definitely isn't the way to go. But I will maintain my son's lifestyle.'

'Day 200, even after 200 days my son is unable to exert physical fitness remotely similar to a warrior despite his heavily regimented lifestyle.'

'Day 250, there is no path without the use of Spiritual Energy. At least not that I found. Today I found one of my newborns and attempted a similar thing. This time with the use of Spiritual Herbs.'

'Day 300, in just 50 days my baby has grown to the size of a three month old child despite being only 50 days old. I also perceive a slight spiritual feeling from his blood despite having no Spiritual Root.'

'Day 450, my child now looks like a year old child, far surpassing children his age. But the cost is astronomical, easily enough to bankrupt a Rank 2 Warrior. Is it worth following this path?'

'Day 600, today I have been researching countless classic workout routines from various different Planes attempting to combine them into the peak workout routine. But I haven't been successful, the moves are only suitable for practising certain sets of muscles.'

As Leslie read the entries her eyes continued to widen. She didn't expect that this man dedicated so much time to learning how to let a Mortal practice!

Quickly she ran towards the newest book. Although still millenia old if not longer. She cracked it open with a slight surprise in her eyes.

'I don't know how long I have been attempting this. I feel like my Lifespan has started to deteriorate and my father has begun to prepare my tomb. But I feel relieved knowing my Son can carry on my mantel.'

'My research has stagnated. I failed. Even with thousands of years I was unable to learn how to let a Mortal fully practice but it hasn't been for nothing. With enough resources it is possible to raise a child that surpasses other mortals without effort.'

'Below is a daily routine that I found most suitable. By following it, even the weakest child will be comparable to a heavy wmal, oeight boxer. But the price is astronomical, my measly wealth couldn't manage it. If it wasn't for the families compensation my research would've stopped long ago.'

'This is my final entry. I can feel my time running out. Please son, if you are reading this continue my research. If we are successful even the slightest bit it would be enough to raise our organisation to the Peak of BlueStar, maybe even step onto the field of the Eternal Battlefield.'

Lesli took a deep breath. This was a lot of information to digest. Even the weakest Rank 3 Warrior can live for 2,400 years!

Imagine spending 2,400 years researching something, and all you got out of it was a set of medicinal herbs and a workout routine that promoted a slight growth in physical strength.

And the cost is unaffordable to most warriors from Leslies impression. After all, a Rank 3 Warrior would definitely have a lot of savings but he still had to rely on his family.

''No wonder the guarding here was so lax. He spent all his money on his research.''

Leslies sighed but she was definitely happy with the gains here. Even if she can't use it herself if she gave it over to Samuel she would definitely receive a reward.

After all this is a minimum of 2,000 years of work done by a strong Warrior with a lot of support and a lot of strong children!

As expected, when Leslie returned with the thousands of books Samuel was ecstatic. Although it is the most simple bit of information and the cost is incredible, from his reading he can definitely afford to maintain a few hundred of these practice routines.

As for who participates in these training routines, of course Samuel chose his Mortal Concubines. Many of them are beauties but they have no Spiritual Roots.

Therefore it is better to at least ensure a bit of combat power.

As a reward for Leslie, Samuel sent her 5 of the Two Inch Spiritual Root Dogs of War.

This is definitely an amazing reward.

But it was worth it, for Samuel these research books are the most valuable resource. But this research is like a rabbit hole that is impossible to fully explore.

It's not that Samuel hasn't tried to look into it, but even with the close to 50,000 Dogs of War with the Studious Talent providing a photographic memory and an incredible intelligence, they didn't even touch the surface.

The most they could find is the typical Karate, Tai Chi type exercises that can strengthen the body but only to the extent of a slightly stronger mortal.
