Chapter 341 - 341: Preparations to Improve Murkrow’s Quality
When Cain emerged again, Haunter had completely regained its size. However, ghost-type energy continued to be absorbed steadily into its body.
Cain used his system to scan Haunter's data and discovered that its capacity to hold energy had significantly increased. Furthermore, Haunter, who had leveled up that very morning, had gained another level, reaching level 32.
"Haunter, that's enough. This ghost-type energy has made you gain another level, and you've already leveled up twice today. Gaining levels so quickly isn't very beneficial for you," Cain said.
Hearing this, Haunter immediately opened its eyes and stopped absorbing energy. It had felt an incredible improvement, and following Cain's guidance on compressing energy within its body, it had been able to absorb even more.
However, Cain had to remind it of the level-ups—something Haunter hadn't even noticed.
If it continued absorbing energy like this, it could reach level 40 in a few months, but that would ruin all the training and the foundation it had been building. It would be a bad trade-off.
The best way to grow stronger is still through combat or training.
"It's better for you to return to the shadows for now," Cain said with a smile, seeing that Haunter had awakened.
Rising just two levels wouldn't be too much of an issue. With a bit more training, Haunter could fully assimilate everything.
Together with Slowpoke, Cain headed to the cave's entrance, where the elder Gastly was still watching intently. It had seen Slowpoke and Cain disappear twice but had no idea where they had gone.
Now that they had returned and the black stone pillar showed no changes, with the ghost-type energy emanating from it remaining the same, the old Gastly sighed in relief.
