Upon returning to Lonas's residence—a. separate dwelling where the original Lonas lived alone, apart from his main family
—the hero found a Martial Arts manual in his room. Recognizing its value, he immediately began to practice the techniques within.
Rapid Mastery:
It took him only three days to fully master the book's teachings. Lonas felt an incredible surge of power within his body. To test it, he threw a punch, effortlessly destroying the nearby wall. With this newfound strength, he decided it was time to move his training to the wilderness and ventured into the jungle.
Encounter in the Wild:
While training, Lonas was confronted by a Level 3 beast charging towards him. Though he was currently at Level 2, Lonas, now empowered and ruthless, showed no fear.
The beast attacked, and Lonas skillfully dodged, then countered with a powerful punch. To his surprise, it had no effect. He quickly observed that the Level 3 beast possessed a body with Level 4 defense.
A Killer's Strategy:
Undaunted, Lonas swiftly formulated a plan. He decided to concentrate all his strength into a single, decisive strike aimed directly at the beast's head. Executing his strategy, he unleashed a full-power attack. The blow was devastating, killing the beast on the spot.
Cultivation Through Cores:
From the fallen beast's body, Lonas extracted its core and immediately began to cultivate with it. The potent energy from the core allowed him to breakthrough, advancing from Level 2 to Level 3, and further strengthening his body.
