Chapter 8: Braver Hunter Party
— Some time later —
With sweat beads rolling down his face and onto his drenched clothes, Zar finally opened his eyes. A breath of relief escaped his chapped lips as he wiped off all the perspiration that had formed on his forehead.
*Ding!*
[Your Cultivation has consolidated in the 9th Layer Qi Condensation Realm!]
Hearing this System Notification, Zar revealed a satisfied smile. "To think that I went from the 2nd Layer to the 9th Layer of the Qi Condensation Realm within a year's time. The past me would've claimed this to be impossible if he heard it."
He was as cherry as could be!
At least, that was until he saw his remaining Lifespan...
"I have no choice but to hold off on attempting a breakthrough into the Foundation Establishment Realm for now," said Zar, his tone emulating his disappointment. "I should get back to farming."
The Grind waited for no man, and Zar was just getting started.
This new Path that the System laid out before him was his way forward!
In the blink of an eye, half a year passed.
