A few days passed since the incident with the Soldiers of the Blue Star camp, and the situation within Dilan's camp was better than ever before.
Many new Ascenders had advanced to Tier-1 and were choosing [Rare] occupations as the lowest they wanted to pick to advance further.
This elevated the strength of each Tier-1 Ascender and his entire group drastically. After nearly a week had passed, Dilan had been out hunting for more than 16 hours, every single day.
His strength increased a lot, and he defeated all the different types of Clawed Bears within the Mountain Ring of the Elements.
There were a total of five types of Clawed Bears, and all of them were powerful. They possessed Gold Essence crystals with platinum-colored strands in them.
From their appearance and potency, they seemed to be the best Essence crystals Dilan had ever absorbed.
And by killing and absorbing the Essence crystals of each Clawed Bear type four times in total, Dilan's stats rose quite a bit as well.
