Chapter 185: Another Beast Tide!
The upgraded training hall hummed with silent pressure, the air laced with invisible might.
Where once it could barely contain a Stage 3 Bronze Awakened’s flaring strength without the walls shaking or the floor cracking under the strain, the chamber now shimmered with a subtle, reinforced glow.
It was evidence of the nearly 2 million credits Creed had sunk into its transformation.
Now, it could bear the full weight of a Silver-level Awakened’s power, with high-density energy diffusion panels woven into the walls, force dampeners under the floor, and spatial layering technology that bent the rules of pressure and space just enough to create a contained storm.
Creed could have easily moved. With his credit balance and reputation, there were dozens of high-end apartments in Sectors 1 to 3 with pre-built facilities far grander than this one.
But he didn’t. Not because he lacked the resources, he simply couldn’t bring himself to do it.
This was the first home he bought in this new, chaotic world.
The weird blue walls, the oddly cozy bedroom, even the crazy neighbor, it all felt... his.
If he ever upgraded, it’d be straight to a Tier 2 or Tier 1 Bastion, not just some basic step-up. Until then, this place was sacred.
He lay flat on the padded floor of the training hall, arms crossed behind his head like a man lounging on a beach, though the expression on his face was anything but relaxed.
This was how he meditated, none of that stiff lotus nonsense. That posture felt like a punishment to his spine and legs, so he picked the "comfortable and horizontal" route.
