Soon, she recovered from her surprise and glared at him, "I have told you not to do that, haven't I?"
Max saw her face, which was red from anger, and realized that he had overdone it, "I'm sorry about that. I couldn't control it because-"
"Because you felt good. Well, I didn't." Jasmine interrupted him coldly. She didn't want to hear his excuse.
Seeing that she didn't attack him again, Max carefully said, "I'll remember not to do this ever again. So, can we continue now?"
"You!" Jasmine was speechless and enraged. 'This bastard can't see anything apart from sex.' She gnashed her teeth, trying to suppress her anger.
"Okay." After taking a few deep breaths, she nodded. Although she wanted to refuse and throw him out, her lust didn't let her.
Max smiled and slowly approached her. Since she was already wet, he didn't waste any time on foreplay. Putting his cock between her legs, he started pounding her. But he wasn't rough or forceful because he first wanted her anger to die down.
Squelch! Squelch!
Ahn~ Oh~ Nngh~
Soon the room was filled with the sensual sounds of mating, which lasted almost the entire night. When they were finally done, both Max and Jasmine were too exhausted to move. Therefore, after cumming last time, they didn't bother to clean themselves and directly fell asleep.
...
Because he was too exhausted, Max woke up late the next day. When his eyes opened, he was lying alone in her bed, naked.
He stood up and went to take a bath. When he came out of Jasmine's room, he found her maid sitting in the hall. Seeing him come out, she blushed and then bowed, "I hope sir slept well. Mistress has already left to do her daily duties."
"Hmm." Max nodded and asked, "What time is it?"
"It's going to be noon in one hour." She replied and then asked, "Sir should be hungry. Would you like to have breakfast here?"
"Okay. I'll do that." Max nodded and sat down on the sofa. The maid looked at him for a few seconds and then excused herself to prepare breakfast for him.
After she had gone away, he opened his status screen to see how many LPs he earned after exerting himself for an entire night.
[Lust Points: 60,000]
'As they say, hard work pays off." He mumbled to himself. 'If I get this many points daily, in just ten or so days, I will be able to complete the enhancement.' He thought.
However, he knew that was his wishful thinking since he wouldn't get this many points from Jasmine every time because her yin energy would start to weaken after doing it a few more times. Moreover, given the condition of his core, he could enhance around 1000 units in one go one. After that, he would have to spend more time strengthening it again.
After twenty minutes, the maid returned with a big tray of dishes. She placed it in front of him and said, "Please enjoy." After that, she stood beside him, looking at him as if he was some kind of treasure.
Max didn't mind her and started eating his food. After he was finished, the maid asked with an expectant look, "Was food to your liking, sir?"
"Yes, it was delicious." Max smiled at her. Hearing his praise, the maid beamed at him, "Thank you, sir."
"Okay. I'm going now. Tell your mistress that I will come in the evening." Max told her and walked out.
...
Max didn't go to his dorm room after returning from Jasmine's but went to check whether Belen and company had returned yet, but they hadn't. The same was true for Flavia.
After that, he went to the training ground where he could train his spells. Even though he had reduced the casting time of [Calidus Brachium] to twenty seconds, he knew it wasn't enough.
On the return trip from the sun feather city, he encountered a peak two-star speed-type beast who had almost ended his life without giving him enough time to cast his spell.
If he didn't have his Mana enhanced which caused his speed to be several times faster than before, he would have died there. If, at that time, his cast time was lower, he could've killed that beast.
Because most of the disciples were out on the missions, the training ground as much wasn't crowded, and he quickly found an empty room. He was going to train his spells, [Calidus Brachium] and [Flame barrier], for two hours straight.
...
Bang!!!
The wall that was said to be able to endure attacks from middle-stage three-star mages trembled when Max punched it after casting [Calidus Brachium] using his three-star Mana.
"Mm, it seems I shouldn't use my enhanced Mana to cast [Calidus Brachium] in case this wall gets damaged. I wouldn't be able to pay for it if they asked for compensation." Max mumbled. Although he knew the possibility of such was low since he was using 1500 units of Mana to cast, he didn't want to risk it.
Therefore, he decided to train [Calidus Brachium] until his two-star Mana was exhausted and then train [Flame Barrier]. Like this, he spent the next two hours in the training room.
By the time two hours were up, he could see that time required to cast [Flame Barrier] had reduced significantly. Now he only needed around 15 seconds to cast it successfully. As for [Calidus Brachium], there was barely any progress.
After that, he returned to his dorm, rested for a while, and then spent all the LPs and enhanced another 600 units of his Mana to the three-star level.
"Arghh!"
As the enhancement process started, Max let out a pained groan. This time, the pain he was feeling was at least 20-30% higher than before. Because he was enhancing only 600 units this time, the process ended quickly.
Just when he thought it was over, he realized it was too soon to feel relieved as sharp pain originated from his Mana core and assaulted his nerves.
"Damn it. This pain." Max cursed. After using another two units of enhanced Mana to consolidate his core, he guessed that he could enhance a few hundred units more without feeling any pain, and even if there was some, he should have been able to endure it.
But apparently, he was wrong about it. Although he enhanced only 600 units this time, the pressure was almost 50% more than what it was previously, causing pain to become almost unbearable.
Whoosh!
Without delay, he took out a bottle of high-tier grade two foundation strengthening liquid, drank it in one gulp, and then started consolidating his core again.
Because the pressure on his core was higher, he struggled to merge more Mana in it. When it was nighttime, he opened his eyes. However, his brows were still creased together.
After wasting more than eight hours, he could merge only two more units in his core with much difficulty. But even then, the pain didn't completely go away.
He stood up and wobbled toward his bed. He had exhausted most of his stamina, trying to suppress the pain while focusing on strengthening his core. Now he didn't have enough energy to walk properly. Therefore, the moment he lay on the bed, he passed out.
...
Midnight... Jasmine's residence...
Jasmine was in her room pacing back and forth. She opened the door and shouted, "Can you see him?"
"No, my lady. There is no sign of him." The maid entered the villa and answered her question.
"That bastard... what does he think I am? How can he make me wait like this when he himself said that he would come?" Jasmine said through gritted teeth.
When she returned home in the evening, her maid told her that Max had said that he would visit her in the evening. Ever since then, she had been waiting for him, but he didn't show up, causing her to flare up again.
"Um, my lady. Should I go and call him?" The maid asked after seeing how desperate her mistress was acting.
"No. Let him be. He must be doing something else, or given his perverted personality; there is no way he wouldn't come." Jasmine took a deep breath and shook her head.
The maid looked at her weirdly and thought, 'If my lady knows this, why are you getting angry?'
