Beggar Cultivation System-Chapter 295 : Apollo’s Amazement
The beggar continued to observe the aftereffects of the monkey's breakthrough.
Unlike him, Bubba was displaying something unusual—likely, the monkey couldn't handle the new sensation coursing through his body.
Apollo watched for a minute or two before the monkey finally calmed down. By this time, Bluetooth, in its small bird form, landed on the beggar's shoulder after returning from who knows where.
The small falcon let out a shriek as it stared at its friend with worry in its eyes.
"Don't worry about him," Apollo said, glancing at the bird on his shoulder. "You should worry about yourself instead. You should show great progress, just like Bubba here."

Bluetooth lowered its head, clearly feeling guilty.
A few days ago, Apollo had decided to give the water-attributed falcon the Simple Breathing Technique and ordered it to cultivate the technique within its mind.
So far, however, Apollo had only seen the bird flying everywhere, not cultivating at all.
Suddenly, the monkey opened his eyes. He blinked a couple of times before slowly turning to his master.
"You've done a good job, Bubba," Apollo said with a smile as he knelt on the ground and held his companion. "You're even faster than my disciple."
Hearing the compliment, Bubba let out a confident smile. Puffing out his chest, he began making monkey sounds while gesturing in the air.
Although the beggar couldn't understand Bubba's words, he could tell that the monkey was very proud and probably describing how wonderful it felt to become stronger.
The monkey jumped out of Apollo's hands. Upon landing on the ground, Bubba leapt, his body reaching the height of a two-story building.
Apollo looked up, surprised by how high the monkey could jump. But that wasn't the end of it. The moment Bubba landed, he bent his knees and, with a powerful push, propelled himself dozens of meters into the sky!
Seeing this, the beggar was even more astonished. When Bubba landed again, he began bouncing around the beggar spot, ricocheting off the walls with his small feet.
He's fast! Apollo thought in amazement. In no time, the monkey had reached a speed equal to that of a 3rd-Step Foundation Building Stage cultivator!
The surprise in the beggar's heart intensified as he watched the scene, though he quickly deduced the reason for Bubba's sudden speed.
"The breakthrough enhanced his inherent abilities…" Apollo muttered in understanding. As a monkey, Bubba naturally had stronger and more flexible legs than a human, making his speed faster than a typical 1st-Step Foundation Building Stage cultivator.
This was also why monsters or beasts were generally far stronger than humans.
Apollo let his companion adapt to the changes for a moment before reaching out and catching the monkey mid-air.
"You're really fast!" Apollo praised with a smile.
Bubba grinned confidently.
"I knew you were smart and talented," Apollo said shamelessly. "And you didn't let me down, Bubba! That's why you deserve a reward!"
By now, the monkey could understand some words after being fed Chili of Intelligence several times. However, he was still immature.
When Bubba heard the word reward, his eyes lit up, and he shrieked in excitement.
"Wait a minute," Apollo said as he brought up his status screen to check his Alm Points.

Over the past few days, with the help of his disciple and the Automatic Alm Points Producer, Apollo's Alm Points had steadily increased. Furthermore, he hadn't purchased anything recently, allowing him to save up instead of depleting his resources.
A white light appeared in front of them as the beggar bought an item.
"This is your reward," Apollo whispered, and the monkey stared at the white light with intense excitement and anticipation.
Bluetooth could only watch with jealousy in its beady eyes.
Apollo held the item in his hands before they could see it.
"Here you go, Bubba," the beggar said, holding the item in front of his companion. "Just open your mouth."
Instinctively, the monkey opened his mouth. But in the next moment, his body shook as the smell emanating from Apollo's hand permeated his nose.
It was very familiar—a scent he would never forget. Eyes widening, Bubba began using his newfound strength to escape from the hand of the devil.
"Just stay put!" Apollo said with a frown, but the monkey started shouting as if he had seen a ghost. "Don't worry! This is a reward that will benefit you!"
The monkey let out an even louder cry, tears threatening to fall from his eyes as he tried to free himself with all his might. But alas, his strength was not enough.
In the end, another Chili of Intelligence entered Bubba's mouth. His whole body turned red, and steam seemed to rise from him.
A few seconds later, the monkey passed out cold.
"Hey, wake up," Apollo said, shaking Bubba in his hands, but the monkey remained limp, foam forming at his mouth. The beggar let out a sigh of disappointment as he placed his companion on the ground. "I thought with your new strength, you'd be able to handle the spiciness. I was wrong."
He then turned to his mount, and the moment his eyes landed on the bird, Bluetooth's body froze solid, its eyes turning white. In the next moment, the small water-attributed falcon fell to the floor.
"D*mn, do I look like a monster to you?" Apollo muttered, speechless.
Shaking his head, he stepped out of the beggar spot to observe his disciple. He found Don cultivating peacefully with a few coins resting on his palms.
Apollo contemplated for a while before taking the coins. A thought crossed his mind: he hadn't seen anyone approaching his disciple to give him money, yet Don continued to receive coins from someone.
The beggar concluded it must be because people approached Don while he was also cultivating.
"They're generous," Apollo muttered with a smirk. He was actually in a good mood. Knowing that Bubba had better talent than his disciple brought a smile to his face.
At first, he thought his companion was nothing more than a normal monkey. However, it turned out Bubba was pretty talented. Apollo didn't know if it was mainly because of the Chili of Intelligence or the monkey's own talent. Nevertheless, it was good news.
"Should I also give Bluetooth the Chili of Intelligence?" Apollo considered. But that would mean feeding two mouths.
As he was mulling over this matter, the sound of whistling came from the sky.
The whistling reverberated a few times, and when he looked up, he caught a glimpse of the Cultivation School's Headmasters and the new Mayor flying in the air.
"Oh? Seems like those main Great Serpent people have arrived," Apollo realized.
