Chapter 185: What changed?
With Dalin now part of the team, the foundation Adyr had been building was finally complete. His circle had begun taking its first steps toward becoming a major force in this new world. While his Earth body focused on raising all its talents to Level 3, his other body was just finishing its daily sword training with Lucen.
"This is enough for now," Lucen said, sliding the long sword—still sheathed—onto his back. "You’re improving quickly, but rest is just as important as the training itself."
He paused, his tone taking on a more instructive edge. "For an ordinary person, it might make sense to focus on a single talent. But for practitioners like us, pouring all our energy and time into one is a poor investment. If you want to rise through the Ranks, you’ll need to develop the others with equal care."
Adyr dipped his head slightly in acknowledgment. "Thank you."
He didn’t need the reminder. He was well aware—and his Earth body was already handling exactly that.
Still, taking a break from sword training was necessary. He had other matters to deal with.
"I’m planning to go to the market area. Do you need anything?" He asked more out of courtesy than obligation.
His reason for going was practical: he still had a number of gears looted from the Cannibal’s headquarters. With only a bit over 100 energy worth of crystals left, he wanted to see if he could trade the equipment for some crystals.
While STF gear meant little to Rank 2 practitioners, it could still be valuable for Rank 1s. Selling it shouldn’t be too difficult—the only question was how much he could get for it.
Lucen shook his head. "I’ll return to the others. We need to confirm Colossith has fully withdrawn."
Adyr gave a small nod and, after agreeing to resume training the next morning, slipped off his jacket, spread his wings, and left Lucen’s mansion.
