''Ohhh!" Come out of my mouth when I opened the flap of my tent and about to go out, I found jill in front of me and her hand in the air which is about to knock on my tent.

''Hahaha!" Jill started to laugh loudly and seeing her laugh, I also laughed a little.

''Your brother hasn't come back from his date yet?" I asked.

If it were back home, one-night wouldn't be enough for a date but the place like this, which is enclosed in protection artifact, an hour is more than enough.

I am even surprised that the girl agreed for a date in a place like this, at least she would have waited till they had safely reached home.

Seems like that girl is also interested in William to go on a date in a place like this.

''Nope, he said he will meet directly at dinner before he left!" Said jill with the smile.

Soon we arrived at the center of the camp and like us, many people stood there waiting for Rachel.

She had said that she has something important to announce.

Soon all the people came and it didn't take Rachel long to come, William also came in last, smiling and talking happily with a beautiful girl.

His date must have gone really great to see him in this great mood.

''I call all you people here because I important announcement to make!" Rachel's voice fell into my ears.

This must be related to why there is another camp beside ours.

"Tomorrow we are going to take a shortcut to the Core region!" she said.

Taking shortcut! It is never a good thing to take a shortcut in dangerous especially the place like this.

''Normally it would take us six or seven days to cross the Middle region but it with us taking shortcut it will take us two!"

"Makes no mistakes, it will be very dangerous but our losses will be less seven days traveling to the middle region and there will be another group will come with us for safety," she said.

So that is the reason another camp is here, they must have made these plans back in the camp. I wonder how other camps are doing compared to us.

"The shortcut is through marshland, I will send you the info we had gathered about monsters there." She said and tapped a few buttons on her holowatch and soon after there is a notification on my holowatch to accept the data or not.

I quickly accepted but did not open the file, I will open it after dinner.

The dinner is started after Rachel's announcements, both Ashlyn I being hungry, we ate our heart's content.

After eating I left for my tent with Jill while William was still busy talking and smiling with his new girlfriend.

I opened the file, in my tent and started to read it. The document is long, it has a rough structure of Marshland and list of monsters that we likely come across.

The most important thing I've come to know from this document are Monsters Battle power.

They are divided from A to F, While F being weakest and A being strongest.

Ashlyn species did not fit even F category, even after mutation she can reach F grade.

The monsters that I usually fight back home are mostly F or upper F grade and rarely I come across the E grade monsters.

In this realm, even weakest monster are Upper E grade and till now, I've fought D and C grade monster.

The Document said that the Black Earth Bear we fought in the afternoon was Upper C grade monster, nearly reaching Lower B grade.

It is written here that the monster we will encounter in the marsh will be the upper C grade but when we will reach the Core region most of the monster we will encounter will be B and lower B grade and we might encounter Upper B grade monsters in Core region of the forest.

The difference may seem so small but it is huge if that Black Earth Bear had been a true Lower B grade monster, there would have more than 50% chance that I would have died by its claws, that's how powerful they are.

I heaved a sigh of relief thinking when we travel in marshland, at least there will be thousand people around me.

If we can't beat them with quality then we will beat them with quantity. I started to read the description of the monster that was found in marshland.

I little shuddered reading the description of the monsters, it is not very detailed but one can easily surmise the strength of monsters as long as one is not an idiot.

Within half an hour, I fully finished reading the document and close my eyes with a sigh.

My strength is not enough! I may able to survive the marshland but it will be really difficult to survive in the core region.

Any monster with B grade battle power would be seriously able to injure me with its casual attack.

I need to be stronger! Strong enough to not casually killed by some random monster in the core region.

I got up and started to stretch my body, although my body is still injured but not enough to stop me doing any serious.

After stretching I started to perform those weird exercises of Night Blade Style while circulating supreme combat exercise.

Except in fight, this is also the best method to practice supreme combat exercise, at least for me as I don't have those machine which could mute the pain.

I greeted my teeth to endure the pain of exercise, this really painful, every circulation of it is more painful than others.

Scientists were never able to understand why practicing supreme combat exercise is extremely painful.

If you make minutes change in circulation, the pain will instantly be gone and there will no benefits you will receive.

I read that many people tried to modify it to make it less painful but no one able to do that till date.

I kept practicing weird exercise for four hours and in these four hours, I've tried hundreds of times but only able to reach the fourth circulation and the pain of forth moving me so hard that I nearly fainted.

After four hours, I've become so tired mentally and physically that I directly fell asleep while performing the exercise.
