Chapter 224
It was a peaceful Saturday morning.
Lying on his back and gazing at the ceiling, Do-Jun slowly opened his eyes at the crack of dawn. He always woke up at dawn, whether it was a weekday or a weekend.
He paused his internal energy cultivation. Although he had ascended to the absolute highest rank, Do-Jun still made it a point to improve his internal energy through the Heavenly Demon Cultivation Art. The refined energy coursing through his body gradually settled.
Back in the Central Plains, martial artists categorized stages as Peak or Flower Realm, but such distinctions meant nothing to Do-Jun now. His power had long surpassed those levels to infinity, rendering any classification irrelevant.
Do-Jun gently lifted Byeol, who was sprawled on top of him, sound asleep. He sat up after carefully placing her on the bed. He and Byeol were the only ones on the bed. Yoon-Hee had left for a training camp the previous night, accompanied by Yong-Yong and Karsiel.
Putting on his slippers, Do-Jun stepped into the hallway and opened the main door of the apartment. The elevator doors soon opened, and the newspaper deliveryman approached, bowing slightly in greeting as he handed over the morning paper.
“Good morning! Lovely day, isn’t it?” he greeted Do-Jun.
“Morning. Yes, it is.” Do-Jun smiled warmly, taking the paper.
The deliveryman continued, sliding newspapers under the doors of other apartments on the third floor.
Returning to his kitchen, Do-Jun filled the coffee pot with water and placed the newspaper on the dining table, ready to see what today’s news said.
“Behemoth Clears the Fourth Floor of the Core!”
As expected, the hottest topic was the Core. Seeing this headline, Do-Jun thought it might be time to visit the eighth floor of the Core. Sipping a warm Americano, he decided to go for a stroll there tomorrow.
