Chapter 70: Recruitment Event Day
Knowing that Rudheer was hiding something and that there might be something wrong with the house, Azrael chose not to sleep.
Instead, he sat on the bed and decided to cultivate normally—just like people does in the outside world when they are not inside Eonrift.
Closing his eyes, Azrael focused on his Source Core, located within his heart. Using the method Ashara had taught him, he began simulating his Source Core.
Slowly, the core inside his body began to rotate. As it turned, the surrounding cosmic energy was drawn toward it.
His Source Core compressed the absorbed cosmic energy, and once the compressed energy reached a state where it was slightly liquefied, it released the energy throughout his body.
Although the effect was subtle, Azrael could feel his body becoming stronger as his Source Core absorbed and circulated the surrounding cosmic energy.
Since his Cosmic Energy stat was over 170 points at the time he condensed his Source Core—and the power of his energy was enhanced by 15% due to the third effect of the mid-level Breathing Method—Azrael’s Source Core was far stronger than that of others at the same level.
As a result, his cultivation speed was exceptionally fast.
The Apprentice Warrior stage (levels 1 to 10) was the lowest stage of cultivation, and for someone with great talent, advancement in this stage was naturally swift.
Within just two hours, Azrael felt that all of his stat points had increased by an average of 0.2 points.
At the same time, because he had killed many monsters in the forest, he also leveled up—reaching Level 5.
Given his current level of spiritual power, Azrael wouldn’t feel much burden even if he didn’t sleep the entire night, so he continued cultivating.
