Chapter 150: Teaching Ruby a lesson
"Supreme Learner," he muttered and focused on the blue window for a moment.
Immediately, another window giving information about the Crystallization popped up in front of him.
[Supreme Learner - Increases your learning ability by 100%]
"Sweet!" David commented after taking a look.
As to what the increase implied, let us understand with an example: if it took David one hour to learn something before, now it would take him half an hour to learn the same thing.
So without further ado, he chose the first option, and immediately he felt the change in his spiritual space; its size seemed to have increased again.
To understand the changes better, he summoned his status report.

Remark: Congratulations on your successful breakthrough, but please don\'t forget about the bank.]
Immediately after taking one glance, a feeling of deep satisfaction arose from deep inside his heart, similar to a guy who had finally managed to save enough to buy himself a dream car.
In these two years, David also realized how difficult it was to raise the comprehension of a Greater Law; it had barely gone up by a few decimal points, but he had somehow managed to achieve Embryo form.
Now each of his attacks was coated with terrifying might of destruction that few could resist.
Sadly, he didn\'t get the chance to try it on someone, as these days he had rarely gotten into a fight.
"Man! Where is the Whitetooth Lion family? Do they not care about their young master?" David commented while smacking his lips in frustration.
He had thought too much when he killed that arrogant young monk; it\'s been two years, and nobody had come to take revenge.
So David concluded that the guy was probably a random nobody.
Of course, he decided to ignore one simple fact: how could a random nobody be at the Nascent soul realm at such a young age?
After David made his choice, the window disappeared.
Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly received a call, this time from the Green Heaven Web.
[Esteemed cultivator, Respected Little Red has challenged you for a friendly duel. Would you like to accept the challenge?]
As soon as he heard the Green Heaven Web\'s words, black lines appeared on his forehead, and after one minute, he sighed and muttered in a frustrated voice, "Why am I surrounded by these annoying people?"
Ever since Ruby found out about the duel function, she would challenge him every day, and if he didn\'t accept her request, she would stalk him like a ghost until he finally accepted her challenge.
David sighed once again and accepted the challenge.
He felt a strange force pulling his consciousness; David didn\'t resist, and in the next moment, he found himself in a completely different world.
David was in a sea of clouds as far as he could see, with tall ancient pagodas piercing the sky as if they wanted to reach outer space.
The pagodas were suspended in the air without any support as if they were as light as clouds.
"Hmm! Where is this place?" David thought while surveying the surroundings.
It was up to them to change the environment to their liking, so most probably the scene that he was witnessing right now was someplace where Ruby had been before.
Meanwhile, a few minutes ago, a woman with blood-red vermillion hair was sitting cross-legged on top of a wooden bed with an emotionless look on her face, like a doll.
Suddenly, Ruby\'s body started to glow like a torch, and her eyes abruptly opened with a clear hint of joy in those blood-red pupils.
"Finally, peak of Golden Core," Ruby muttered, the voice that came out of her mouth was slightly hoarse as if she hadn\'t spoken in a long time.
\'Now I can finally beat him,\' Ruby thought, with a tinge of anticipation in her eyes. At that thought, an image of a lazy young man appeared in her head.
Now that she had enough mana, she could finally use her Divine arts and bring out the power of her Crystallization of life to its fullest.
Without hesitating, she challenged David once more.
In each of her previous duels with the black-haired young man, she won each time, but Ruby wasn\'t satisfied; she wanted overwhelming victory.
If she couldn\'t even defeat this small little youngling in this random corner of the Vast Expanse Region, then she might as well forget about her revenge.
While she was busy thinking, she received the notification that her challenge had been accepted, and in the next moment, she appeared above the clouds.
The fierce wind hit her body, causing her black robe to dance in the wind.
Ruby didn\'t seem to care about the wind; her eyes ignored everything around her, including the black-haired young man who was looking at her with a mysterious look in his eyes.
Her mind suddenly filled with extreme nostalgia as her gaze landed on the most inconspicuous-looking pagoda to the side.
An extremely beautiful woman suddenly seemed to have appeared in front of the pagoda, waving her hand in Ruby\'s direction with a motherly smile on her face.
"My little darling, come here fast, I brought your favorite sweets for you..."
The memories that she seemed to have already forgotten after the passage of hundreds of thousands of years appeared in her head like a raging tide, causing her heart to grow heavy as if someone had placed a heavy stone on it.
This place was the Heaven of Green Pagoda Unity immortal, a place where she visited with her mother when Ruby was barely a year old.
Suddenly, she shook her head to clear her mind and focused back on her duel.
Her gaze turned sharp as she focused on the black-haired youth in front of her, floating silently like a young Immortal with his long black hair dancing wildly in the wind.
"The audacity of this woman..." David thought with a bored look on his face, to keep him waiting after challenging him for the nth time this month.
David had allowed her to win, hoping that she would stop annoying him, but even after he allowed her to win, she would still keep bugging him.
"Let\'s use a different strategy this time," David thought with a subtle grin on his handsome face.
Suddenly their gazes seemed to collide in mid-air; the battle could begin at any moment.
In the next moment, Ruby took a step in the air, her steps gentle and graceful as if she was afraid of hurting the white cloud below her feet.
Suddenly her figure seemed to freeze in mid-air as if time had stopped flowing around her; her eyes widened incredulously…
Bang!
Suddenly, her body exploded like a balloon, and a huge chair covered with pieces of Ruby\'s internal organs appeared in the place where she was standing a moment ago.
Without even blinking his eyes, David muttered, "Shrink."
The chair immediately shrunk once more, and AllHeaven Canvas once again merged with David\'s body.
The surroundings returned to normal without wasting any more time. David left the dueling arena without giving the beautiful scenery around him another look.
He was sure that after such a crushing defeat, the woman wouldn\'t bug him again.
Although the trick that he performed with AllHeaven Canvas just now was powerful, it didn\'t work against the Nascent soul Realm experts.
As before the canvas could enter their body, they detected its presence with the help of their Divine sense and blocked it from entering their body.
However, such a flaw didn\'t exist against cultivators at the Golden Core Realm as they didn\'t have the Divine sense.
David opened his eyes once again in the hall and was just about to get up when a redhead came running towards him with a slightly unnatural expression on her face.
Ruby pointed her slender finger at David\'s face and said, "What did you do?"
After hearing her words, David looked at her seriously and muttered, "Magic!"
Ruby, who was intently looking at him and waiting for his explanation, suddenly found herself at a loss; she wasn\'t expecting such an answer from him.
David looked at her dumbfounded appearance and walked towards the bank exit with a small, unnoticeable grin on his face.
