After killing the wolf, Michelle sat back down to cultivate. For the next three days, nothing bothered her, and she could focus on it.
And that led her to a shocking discovery. After she absorbed the spirit energy from the scattered black Life Stone of the wolf, her cultivation speed rapidly increased. The new speed even felt illegal.
It clearly wasn't normal.
But over time, the speed went down slowly, returning to normal by the end of the third day.
And that was when a monster appeared again.
Michelle ended up in a strange cycle.
Every time, she would cultivate for three days before two monsters would jump at her separately, one after the other. And after sucking in the spirit energy of their Life Stones, her cultivation speed would temporarily increase.
Of course, while Michelle cultivated, bloodsuckers of the dark element would stick to her skin to eat away the residue of spirit energy gathered around her.
