Chapter 99: A One-Sided Acquisition
While Sunan had resolved to deal with the Hundred-Armed Monster, taking down a creature comparable to a third-circle legendary knight required thorough preparation. With his current capabilities, he didn't have the absolute confidence needed to defeat the monster.
"Fortunately, that Hundred-Armed Monster likely won't surface anytime soon."
Based on the kobolds' conversations, the monster seemed driven by hunger to send its minions out to raid. After Sunan's slaughter, the cave was now littered with corpses, which should suffice to feed the monster for some time.
During this period, Sunan could prepare a strategy to confront the creature.
He already had some ideas on how to proceed.
This unexpected incident didn't disrupt Sunan's schedule. After attending Key's wedding, he continued to focus on his meditation and studies.
With the use of mid-grade third-circle transcendence potions, his meditation efficiency increased significantly.
Now, practicing the Star Ring Meditation Method each day yielded over 1800 proficiency points.
Sunan estimated that by the next Winter Harp Month, he should be able to construct his eleventh star ring.
By then, his mental strength would likely reach 34, allowing him to switch to high-grade third-circle transcendence potions.
In terms of constitution, after consuming Dragon Blood Fruit synthesized with his cube, Sunan's physique had soared to 30 points.
