"Haaa…."

I woke up at 10 AM sharp like usual, my biological clock probably played a role in this, as I have been adjusted to this waking up time since that week of seclusion and especially the following preparation month.

I took in a deep breath as I enjoyed the fresh air, to be honest, yesterday was quite the great day, I managed to drop all my guard other than 'Omni-viewing Eye' and totally focus on relaxing and lazing.

To me yesterday was a unique occurrence, after all, since the start of the game, I felt like I was running non-stop trying to patch the gap between my originally weak self with the current powers of the world, such moments when I can truly relax were very precious to the current me.

Although now I was no longer the weak sick Ian or that trainee Ian who almost died when facing the Thunder lion, but I was only a moderately middle-leveled powerhouse, and while I could survive most danger due to my unique and different abilities, there was no guarantee that I would live on if an absolute powerhouse from the corrupted side of the Light Association faced me off directly and crushed me like an ant.

While having such thoughts, I was already impatient to take position in this Brigade already, I could imagine my life while laying low and only going on missions every once in a while and most importantly quietly grow in power, to me, such a life would be perfect, at least for the first few months, and who knows? maybe I can truly have a moderately easy life here.

Dual-element: 14.27 ( Lightning, Thunder )

Unassigned stat points: 3.39 ]

Taking a glance at my current stats, the very first thing that caught my eye was the change in my dual-element, which had increased by more than 3.25 points!

That wondrous phenomena of fusing with thunder elements as I broke the sonic barrier had quite a huge effect, giving me a huge boost on my elemental path, it made me have thoughts about… forget it, reaching the next layer on my own would be much easier than reaching the speed of light…

However, I still had something to worry about, I immediately took out a grade-0 elemental crystal and started absorbing it, but…

'As expected.'

I already wondered when the efficiency diminishing effect of elemental crystal absorption due to high elemental density would take effect, but with the recent big increase, it seemed that these elemental crystals can't be used by me anymore.

"Sigh…"

I still had over 500 hundred pieces of grade-0 crystals, well, I guess they aren't completely useless, they can probably help me gather a small wealth if I decided to sell them, not to mention that I still had the ones used by me which still can be used furthermore if the user wasn't a lightning or thunder practitioner.

Taking out grade-1 crystals, I was slightly relieved that their efficiency only decreased by one-fifth, so I decided to reserve an hour or two every day for the rest of the week to completely use up my grade-1 reserve, only then could I maximize the use of these elemental crystals, after all, with the second layer only opening up at 11 points, the lowest estimate of the points required for the peak would be 30~33, there was still a long way to go.

[ Your Dual-Element has increased by 0.04! ]

Finally finishing my absorption session and storing the 10 used crystals away, I stood up from the bed and entered the bathroom which unexpectedly had a bathtub!

My days in this brigade really grew brighter while I grew more impatient to get this luxury on a permanent lease already!

I enjoyed taking a relaxing bath before putting on the blue leather armor, wearing my mask which I removed before my sleep, I finally left the room.

It was time to go for a training session.
