Arkhen and Jeizy left the Daiwun town an hour later after Jeizy gathered helpful necessities like talismans, pills, potions, his new pieces of equipment like weapons and armor, and outfits.
Arkhen also bought some fancy and cool-looking robes and pants as his new set of outfits.
After departing, it took them two hours to reach the Hong-Shen town on a giant flying ship that belonged to a flying travel company that serviced everywhere in the Pentarix Continent.
After arriving in Hong-Shen town, Jeizy took him to a club of the sort where many people were drinking and dancing. The whole place was like a big club with multiple sections.
Gambling section
Stripper section
Bar & Dance section
Brothel section
It was a degenerate place, but Arkhen & Jeizy only went to the Bar & Dance section since Jeizy said the drinks there were the best.
The Bar & Dance section had three bars in a U shape and a big dance stage in front of the three bars.
After arriving in front of a left-wing bar, both sat on stools as they ordered the drinks and watched people of various races dancing.
"Mhmm! This is good," Arkhen said after he took a sip from his cocktail. A burning sensation went down his throat before he felt hot in his stomach and vibrant in his mind.
"Haha, now try this." Jeizy passed on a dark blue-colored drink to Arkhen and said, "Gulp it down at once."
Arkhen grabbed it and gulped it down.
As if someone put an ice cube over a burning stove, Arkhen felt super coldness sizzling down his throat as it combined with the hotness in his stomach from the previous drink.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA strange phenomenon appeared as Arkhen's body started releasing steam. Startled for a second, Arkhen laughed afterward and said, "Damn, this combination hit the spot! Hahaha."
"Yep. There are other combinations as well."
'Velshi, I want to get drunk, but keep me half-sober.'
[As you wish, my lord].
…
After drinking a lot, Arkhen and Jeizy went dancing on the floor and had a lot of fun.
As the day neared night, both of them left the club and went to the best lodge inn, Paradise Hut. After booking their rooms on the top floor, they went to eat some food.
An hour later, they returned to their respective rooms. Arkhen sat on a chair on the peaceful grassy balcony as he looked at the beautiful night view of the town with colorful lighting and a sky filled with colorful distant stars.
"A night here alone seems such a waste," Arkhen muttered as he leaned back on the comfortable long-back chair.
He felt like fucking someone in the night after drinking lots and having fun today.
Meanwhile, Jeizy was already on it in his room with a girl he got to know in the club since he had broken up with his previous girlfriend over a month ago.
…
After an hour of resting on the chair while looking at the scenery with a blank and peaceful mind, Arkhen just decided to sit cross-legged and took out the high-grade essence stones he got from the Draken Kingdom.
1500 high-grade Primal essence stones.
1500 high-grade Chi essence stones.
1500 high-grade Mana essence stones.
"Welp. Let's start refining the pond. Velshi, absorb all these stones' essence into my inner space."
[As you wish, my lord].
A second later, the essence stone piles in front of him started turning to dust as their essences gathered inside his inner space.
As time passed, Arkhen finished refining his ponds after two hours as he did it slowly instead of hurrying up.
1500 high-grade essence stones could refine his one pond 750 times. 1 refinement = 100 EP and 1000 energy capacity increase of that pond.
As such, Arkhen gained 75,000 EP since he refined all three of his ponds 750 times. His energy capacity of Primal pond and Chi pond were unlimited, so he didn't need to bother about their capacity. But his Mana pond was not unlimited as its capacity increased by 750,000.
After this training session to increase his EP, Arkhen took out a Class-3 Body Refining pill and gulped it down.
A super potent energy spread throughout his body. Focusing quickly, Arkhen controlled the potent energy and started refining his body by using it.
After two complete hours, his fundamental body stats were increased by 100, and he reached the peak of 2nd class in fundamental stats.
"Now this feels good," Arkhen exhaled a deep breath as he felt comfortable and better since he got strong again.

Looking at these stats, especially his body stats, Arkhen grinned. "My body stats are already comparable to someone in 7th class."
[Eh… Not quite right. Someone in the 7th class actually would have more stats because they would also have a boost from their bloodline, Combat Art, and some unknown factor if they had any. But indeed, you can be considered as one of the strongest 2nd class powerhouses in the 1st realm right now].
Suddenly, Arkhen remembered something and encountered a dilemma as he scratched his head and said, 'Velshi. My powers are imbalanced right now. I mean...despite being in the 2nd class, my body stats are too powerful.
'So which class of competition will I enter? I feel like the tournament committee will scratch their heads if they find out about my body stats.'
Arkhen and Jeizy were going to register their entry tomorrow, so this was quite a dilemma. Naturally, this dilemma belonged to the tournament committee, not Arkhen.
[I have no idea how they will handle it. However, it's certain that they will measure your body stats and EP before entry].
Arkhen could only wryly smile as he thought about tomorrow.
'Well, my main goal is to actually meet Lady Rong. So it's fine if I can't participate in the competition,' Arkhen said as he took out the card given to him by Lady Rong. 'But if possible, i want to enter the tournament and gain experience.'
He was going to contact her tomorrow after going to register his entry into the tournament.
[I have an idea, my lord]
