Chapter 170 I Clearly Came First!

“Focus, think about the breakthrough!” Just as the Five-Color Peacock’s thoughts had drifted off to god knows where, Romo’s words brought it back to reality.

Although Romo did not appear in front of the Five-Color Peacock, his words seemed to have a magical power that could quickly make the Five-Color Peacock concentrate.

The Five-Color Peacock quickly regained its senses and placed all its attention on breaking through the bottleneck. For many years, the Five-Color Peacock had been stuck at a bottleneck. It had tried all kinds of methods but had not been able to break through. If it was not because of the talisman Romo had used, the Five-Color Peacock might not have been able to break through this bottleneck even till it died.

Moreover, it had to concentrate when it was breaking through. Previously, when it was fighting with a giant python, the bottleneck had shown signs of loosening. However, the priority of the Five-Color Peacock at that time was to survive. It did not have the attention to concentrate on the bottleneck at all. Therefore, it naturally did not succeed in breaking through that time. The Five-Color Peacock had not even sensed how the loosening of the bottleneck would feel.

However, Romo appeared in time subsequently and helped the Five-Color Peacock. Not only did he kill the giant python, he also gave the giant python’s Magic Pill to the Five-Color Peacock. This way, the bottleneck for the Five-Color Peacock had loosened a little. If it were to cultivate normally, it would break through the bottleneck in at most a hundred years. This was already very good for the Five-Color Peacock.

It was because of this that the Five-Color Peacock was forced to become the Guardian Spirit Beast of the Nicholas family. It did not take long before it was called here and participated in a battle.

In the beginning, the Five-Color Peacock was not especially willing. However, because Romo had sealed its soul, it had no choice but to listen to Romo’s orders. However, it later discovered that staying in the Nicholas family clan was not a bad thing.

Romo had not asked him to do anything during this period of time. It had only come once to fight, and it had not really risked its life.

Although the Five-Color Peacock was only a mythical beast, its intelligence was not inferior to that of a human. During the days in the Nicholas family, it had been observing the family clan.

After weighing the strength of the Nicholas family clan and the difficulties it had encountered, the Five-Color Peacock had changed its opinion about the Nicholas family. It had also discovered that it was very interested in the child Anthony whom it felt would definitely be a genius in the future.

Therefore, it had chosen Anthony. It might be destined to protect the Nicholas family for more than a hundred years. Moreover, its offspring was about to be born. The most important thing now was to find a good home for its offspring. Anthony was obviously the best choice.

In the end, the Five-Color Peacock made an important choice. It would hand its egg to Anthony after Xi Bolai and the others had left. This meant that it had chosen Anthony to become the master of its offspring.

To a certain extent, this was also a gesture of goodwill to the Nicholas family. It did not want its offspring to be forcefully turned into a servant by the Nicholas family members. This was something it absolutely would not allow. If it had to be like this, it might as well choose a master for its offspring itself. This way, at least, the Nicholas family would be able to nurture its offspring well and the latter would not suffer any grievances.

Unexpectedly, the Five-Color Peacock’s idea had pleased its master, and it had been rewarded. It seemed that the Nicholas family was not bad. However, there was no time to think about it now. The urgent matter at hand was to break through the bottleneck. Hence, the Five-Color Peacock immediately immersed itself in cultivation.

In fact, this Guardian Spirit Beast Breakthrough Talisman had already helped the Five-Color Peacock break through most of the bottlenecks. The remaining breakthroughs would take at least a few days or even a year. “What’s going on?” Karuman suddenly sensed something and looked at the tree as if he had sensed something. “It’s actually so fast?”

Karuman had often observed the Five-Color Peacock previously and knew that its bottleneck had been sustained for many years, and it would take at least a hundred years before it could break through.

However, it was actually about to break through today. Was it his imagination earlier, or did this Five-Color Peacock have some special secret manual?

The situation of the Five-Color Peacock was too similar to that of the other members of the Nicholas family.

Could all this be related to his master? With this thought, Karuman became even more envious. A mythical beast could have such good treatment, but he was still a servant and his cultivation base had not increased at all.

The Five-Color Peacock was soon in a state of cultivation. If it was maintained, a level-7 Guardian Spirit Beast would appear in the Nicholas family in a few days.

Romo had also suppressed the aura of the Five-Color Peacock’s cultivation. This way, no one would be able to detect it.

Romo then called out the System and prepared to see the current situation of the family members.

Currently, there were already many resources in the inventory. It was time to use them. Furthermore, the family clan was already stabilizing. It was time to increase everyone’s aptitude.

In terms of nurturing potential, it was natural that nurturing the younger generation had more potential. However, the cultivation base of the younger generation was too low. Unless they were like Lily, nurturing them would not be of much value in the short term.

What the Nicholas family clan needed most now was to quickly increase the overall strength of the family, so that the juniors could be nurtured slowly.

Therefore, Romo had set his sights on the descendants of the 15th and 16th generation. It was time for their strength to increase.

First, it was Norton. Currently, his aptitude for cultivation was already excellent, but as a family head of the Nicholas family clan, this was far from enough. Therefore, Romo’s first target was Norton. [Command Confirmation: Aptitude Enhancement Talisman used. Selected target is the 15th generation descendant: Norton]

[Aptitude Enhancement Talisman has increased the aptitude level for cultivation to that of a genius]

With the use of the Aptitude Enhancement Talisman, Norton’s cultivation aptitude increased in just a few seconds, followed by Zoro.

(Name: Zoro]

(Gender: Male]

[Age: 65 years old.] [Identity: 16th generation descendant]

(Cultivation: Level-3 Innate Realm (Click to check out the details)]

[Overall Aptitude: Medium (Click to check out the details)]

(Luck Level: Medium)

(Life Experiences (Click to check out the details)]

Zoro’s cultivation aptitude was not just a little inferior to Norton’s. Hence, Romo used two Aptitude Enhancement Talismans at once. In this way, Zoro’s cultivation aptitude became excellent.
