A Slip of the Hand Means a Spanking / Acheron's Sparring Partner in Training: The Xianzhou General

Naturally, it was exactly the same as what Gwen himself saw.

"Brother Gwen, how did you manage to level up?"

Sasha noticed that Gwen seemed to be in a bad mood and asked cautiously.

Compared to Gwen's subtle melancholy, Sasha was more curious about how Gwen had managed to level up.

You know, she had tried so hard to level up Gwen before, but she couldn't. How come Gwen leveled up on his own after a short time?

Doesn't this make her, as Goddess, seem useless?

Having just acquired it, its unique function seemed to have already disappeared, causing the young Goddess a little anxiety.

"I don't know the specific principle behind it, but in short, it was completed by spending a lot of points."

Gwen explained casually.

"Can points really be used to do something like this?"

Sasha asked, somewhat bewildered.

"This is a prototype, so it will have some special features."

Gwen chuckled and gently pinched Sasha's nose.

"I'll come back to you for another test when we upgrade next time. After all, you can see the changes to my template, so it should be compatible."

Although this might reveal some of his secrets, Gwen was still willing to entrust Sasha with his trust.

"Um."

Sasha nodded vigorously upon hearing this, unwilling to relinquish this responsibility, even though Gwen might possess the ability to upgrade autonomously.

After calming herself down, Sasha got down to business—

"Before I offer any advice, I'd like to hear your own thoughts on these developmental abilities, Brother Gwen."

After all, some of them are specialties from your world, which I don't know about.

"No problem."

Gwen did not hide anything from Sasha and told Sasha all the relevant information about these entries.

Sasha listened to these secrets with a serious expression, setting up dozens of layers of barriers with a wave of her hand, and even extravagantly calling upon her God Cosmo to ensure that no one could eavesdrop.

After Gwen finished speaking, Sasha for a moment and then asked—

"So, Brother Gwen, you're now leaning towards Cosmo or Burning as your new development ability?"

"Well, the former will most likely be able to further enhance my talent in the Cosmo, and even bring out new development capabilities."

"And burning will most likely provide immediate combat power, and may even allow my overall strength to achieve a breakthrough."

Gwen nodded.

"However, the former is almost certainly risk-free, while the latter could potentially cause you harm."

For ordinary Saint Seiya, burning their Cosmo would place a great burden on themselves.

Brother Gwen, if you were to undergo a deeper level of burning...

Sasha shook her head as she spoke—

"Don't be reckless. You're not fighting alone, and you shouldn't gamble everything on this war—"

Don't forget, you have Bianca and the others behind you!

Besides, even if we're no match for the Cocoon of the End, I can still go and help!

Chapter 826 A Slip of the Hand Leads to a Spanking

"Even if you don't choose that development ability, in your current state, if you go all out and with the support of my God Cosmo, you might be able to activate the Divine Cloth state."

At that time, your strength will also experience a qualitative leap!

Sasha stared into Gwen's eyes and said very seriously.

If possible, Sasha really didn't want Gwen to choose the "burn" ability—

It was Gwen's self-deprecating "Lord of Cinder mode" that made Sasha subconsciously feel uneasy, as if it were something terrible.

To stop Gwen's dangerous idea, Sasha even brought up the concept of the Divine Cloth, which was still only in the realm of imagination.

Yes, although the Saint Cloths were created by Athena in collaboration with the alchemists of that time, the Divine Cloth were still just a concept. It wasn't until a few years later, when Seiya was observed to have pierced through Chronos Cloth, that Tenma Saint Seiya's Divine Cloth appeared in the world for the first time.

"Ha...

You said it yourself, it's possible.

"If that's the case, why not increase the likelihood of it?"

Sensing the genuine concern and worry in Sasha's blue eyes, Gwen chuckled and patted the girl's head.

"Moreover, if it really works out, it will be of great significance to me."

After all, the Light of the Mind is more important to me.

Furthermore, if I can activate the Divine Cloth, then perhaps your plan can begin.

"Um..."

Looking at Gwen, Sasha could tell that Gwen had made his decision, and she couldn't help but let out a small, mournful cry, feeling helpless at her own powerlessness, unable to do anything at all.

"Okay, come and add some points for me, but don't accidentally click the wrong one."

Gwen chuckled and withdrew his hand, also preparing to give Sasha a sense of involvement.

"What if I accidentally click the wrong thing?"

Sasha blinked, still somewhat unwilling, and asked.

"Then I'll drag you to my world and spank you. Anyway, Sage and the others can't catch up with you."

Gwen revealed a vicious expression and said with ill intent.

"Don't learn to say such strange things from Manigoldo."

Sasha stood up and patted Gwen on the back with her little hand.

"Sasha, you were just teasing me..."

Okay, okay, I won't say anymore..."

Seeing that Sasha showed no sign of stopping, Gwen begged for mercy repeatedly, which finally made the young Goddess relent.

However, after thinking for a moment, Sasha did not upgrade Gwen directly, but instead climbed onto the bed and sat on Gwen.

"Hey, Sasha, what brings you up here?"

Gwen asked in surprise.

"Hmph, consider this punishment for making me angry, Brother Gwen!"

As Sasha spoke, she pressed down harder.

"Didn't I already surrender..."

Gwen said weakly.

It wasn't that he was aroused— Sasha, a teenage girl just starting to develop, was barely any flesh on her bones, not at all presentable; the main problem was...it wouldn't look good—

It would be easy for him to be chased and beaten by the Sage trio.

"Then it's settled, this is a one-time thing, and there won't be a next time!"

Seeing that Gwen had "yielded," Sasha did not continue. Instead, she stretched out her little hand in front of Gwen and extended her little finger.

"Okay, this won't happen again."

Gwen extended his little finger and interlocked it with Sasha's finger.

Satisfied, Sasha withdrew her hand and began to select abilities for Gwen to develop.

However, thinking about what had just been said, Sasha's hand couldn't help but wander—

"Should we just let it slip and be done with it? At worst, we'll just get dragged back and spanked..."

Sasha suddenly felt that this might be a good option.

"Sasha, is it ready yet?"

Gwen asked, feeling that it had been a while.

"Almost done—"

Sasha snapped out of her daze, blushing slightly at her strange thought, but her little hand still steadily touched the "burning" button—

Without any unexpected events, the development capability "Burning" was successfully selected.

In an instant, Gwen felt some of his previously obscure thoughts become clear, and the plans that had been abandoned seemed to have a chance to be put into practice again. He couldn't help but immerse himself in it, and even a faint flame quietly rose on his body.

"?"

In the end, Sasha still couldn't muster the courage to "accidentally" touch him. She sighed with some regret and prepared to get off Gwen, but unexpectedly discovered the flames swirling around Gwen's body that hadn't caused her any harm.

"This is..."

Sasha was a little confused, so she bent down to observe again—

She could sense that the flame was not simple, and the reason it didn't harm her wasn't because her power blocked it, but because the flame simply wouldn't hurt her.

"Is this the first time a new feature has been developed?"

Sasha wondered curiously, but dared not disturb Gwen, and simply sat quietly on his Gwen.

She knew very well that being interrupted while thinking was a very annoying thing.

When Gwyn came to his Gwen, he found himself enveloped in powerful flames.

"Sasha, are you alright?"

Realizing that he might have entered a state similar to "enlightenment," Gwen quickly asked, afraid of hurting the young Goddess on his body.

"Huh?"

"Gwen, you're awake?"

Sasha, who had fallen asleep on Gwen without even breathing, blinked and asked a slightly drowsy question.

"Yes, thank you for waiting so long."

With the desired result relayed back through his mental energy, Gwen relief. Using a deft movement, he lifted Sasha, who was still sitting on him, and then flipped himself up, catching the young Goddess steadily.

"It's alright. The result was better than expected. Let's talk about it when it gets light. I'll take you back to your room first."

"Um..."

Feeling unusually sleepy for some reason, the young Goddess leaned against Gwen and closed her eyes.

He easily found his way to the Goddess's boudoir, put the young Goddess back in bed, and saw her breathing evenly again.

Looking at the girl's peaceful sleeping face, Gwen chuckled softly and quietly returned to his own world.

"Wow... quite a haul!"

Not worried about disturbing Sasha, Gwen stretched lazily, a hint of excitement on his face—

His previous epiphany allowed him to develop quite a few things from his newly acquired abilities—

Almost all the anticipated effects were achieved. In addition to its original special auxiliary functions, the Light of the Mind can now "burn" at a deeper level, activating a genuine "King of Cinder Mode"—

It provides Gwen with a more powerful all-around boost, and can also enhance the various powers that Gwen possesses—not just the simple energy activation boost as before, but also promote the evolution of the power itself!

Chapter 827 Izanami Training Partner Reserve: Xianzhou General

While it's often said that quantitative change leads to qualitative change, that qualitative change is often much more difficult to achieve than the accumulation of quantitative changes.

In order to transform his internal energy into true essence, Zheng from next door was forced to take a face-smeared magic cannon shot from a bespectacled guy.

Although there doesn't seem to be a clear hierarchy between Honkai Energy and Imaginary Energy in this world, Gwen is certain that there is a subtle difference between the Honkai Energy of ordinary Honkai Beast and Herrscher, making the latter units more powerful.

Similarly, there are certain differences between ordinary Pathstrider and freaks like those in the Izanami, who are comparable to Emanator, as well as the Imaginary Energy driven by genuine Emanator.

Now, through this new development capability, Gwen can complete this transformation relatively smoothly.

To give an example, the Cascade Ray within him might one day reach or even surpass the level of the real Tartarus next door.

Or perhaps, one day his Cosmo will reach, or even surpass, the so-called God Cosmo in terms of intensity.
