Chapter 207 Increased mastery
Lizzie's kiss turned out to be nothing more than a way to help him put experience into his mutation.
He didn't know how she did this, but she endowed him with her experience points and put them into his Angel Wings, allowing him to advance his mastery of it.
Atlan looked down at his Soul System and saw his Angel Wings with only a tiny portion at the middle point glowing, while the rest of the wings were grayed out.

Atlan and Lizzie both moved their lips away. They looked each other in the eyes for a moment, with Atlan remembering and yearning for that sensation to last just a little bit longer.
He must have experienced a time skip because that kiss started and ended in a blink of an eye. He wished that he killed the God of Time instead of the God of Death so that he could rewind that moment and experience her delicate kiss again.
Meanwhile, Lizzie turned her reddish cheeks away from Atlan in embarrassment.
Even though she kissed him for a very different reason, she couldn't help but squirm her feet as she felt his mouth play roughly with hers. She saw his eyes lit up with passion as if he desired to completely devour her.
And if she were to be completely honest with herself, she didn't hate kissing Atlan.
When she looked at him, she could see his gaze still lingering on her lips. It was clear he wanted a second round.
"Ahem…" Lizzie coughed to break the tension in the room. She slowly got up and walked away from Atlan, leaving him looking back at her figure.
"As you can see, I only did that to help you increase the mastery of your mutation."
But when she looked back at him, she noticed that he wasn't listening and was slowly walking over towards her. He licked his lips while looking over at hers.
"That's why you should forget that it ever happened, okay?"
Lizzie slowly backed away from him, but he was still slowly walking over towards her. The worst part about it for her was that there was a sly smile on his face. It was as if he thought that her words were merely an excuse.
"It was only for an emergency because you had no more time to lose! You were losing your window of opportunity!" she said, with her back against the wall.
Atlan walked over towards her and put his hand on the wall. "And you found yours. You found the chance to kiss me and took it." Enjoy new chapters from empire
Lizzie couldn't believe the confidence and swagger in his voice. "You wish!" she said, slapping his chest.
"Oh, I do."
Lizzie felt her body turn hot from embarrassment. If she looked in a mirror, she would see her skin fully turn into tomato red.
She was his senior! She shouldn't be led around by him. She should be the one to teach him a lesson, and yet, she couldn't form the right words in her mouth.
And as she thought that, she touched her lips.
It was only a fraction of a second later that she realized what it might have looked like to Atlan. She quickly put down her hand, but it was far too late. There was already a huge smile on his face.
"You don't have to remember, I can let you experience it right now."
"Oh shut it!" She moved his arm out and walked away. "Instead of worrying about…that…you should be thinking about your current mission!"
Atlan walked over towards her and whispered in her ears. "I thought you didn't want me to go on the mission?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Hmph!" She crossed her arms. "I'll push you to the portal myself!"
Atlan chuckled. This was the first time he'd seen Lizzie so flustered. He didn't know why she was the one more embarrassed about the kiss when it was he who experienced it for the first time.
But as much as he wanted to feel that kiss again, he didn't want to force her to do it again. He respected her too much to do that to her.
It was true that she only kissed him to help her. If she hadn't, then he wouldn't have been able to find out how to put experience in his mutation. He would have lost his opportunity trying to figure it out by himself. She only kissed him so that he wouldn't waste any more time when the fate of the City was on the line.
He looked down at his Soul System and saw that the mastery of his Angel Wings was only at 0.1%.
Lizzie didn't share much experience with him because her only goal was to let him feel the sensation of how to merge his blue wisps into his mutation.
Now that he knew how to do it, he could do it by himself.
He commanded a thousand of his blue wisps to gather near his Angel Wing mutation and imitated what he felt when Lizzie commanded the blue wisps.
He let them revolve around his Angel Wings, and with his own heat from his body generated from the LifeSkill planets around him, he melted down the blue wisps into liquid drops that slowly got absorbed by the Angel Wings.
He looked at his Soul System again and saw that his mastery increased by 1%
He was shocked. He used 10,000 experience points on that! He thought he'd fill it up to half, but he severely underestimated the experience needed to fully master one mutation.
He used just about 50,000 experience on it for now to increase his mastery to 5%.
Once it reached 5%, he could no longer add any more blue wisps even if he wanted to. The window was over. He'd need to win using only his mutation again to be able to put more experience in it.
"It's up to you how much you want to put into your mutation, but I suggest that you make it at least 5%. How much do you have now?"
"One percent," he lied. "And I seem to have forgotten how to put experience into my mutation."
He smiled at her. "Looks like you'll have to show it to me again."
