"I still have 6 hours... it's not too crazy right?" Leon asked.
**It's your choice! The faster you progress the happier I am.** Leo said
"Touche.. Alright, onto my first Core Realm Beast!" Leon said, once again rushing to create a bloodbath.
He neared a large python at the third state of Core Realm, feeling it's vision lock onto him Leon sped up and landed a fist on the pythons head. With a loud bang it's scales split apart, blood spluttered out and it's body went limp.
**Gained 8.3M Qi!** The ding rang out as Leon instantly soared in strength, gaining a 20000m Foundation!
"That feeling is addictive. I'll need to feel it even more!" Leon roared as he set out once more. A silent blade fell on numerous beasts on this night, starting from Foundation Realm Beasts and ending with Core Realm Beasts.
Leon slowly progressed in his strength until he reached a peak state of sorts, boasting a foundation of 58000m Leon could easily dispatch any and all Cultivators in the Core Realm.
"Leo, why do I feel empty?" Leon suddenly proposed a question which seemed different from his usual self.
**Hmm?** Leo said feeling confused, why was this guy so random?
Leon noticed Leo's confusion and elaborated "I don't feel threat. I don't feel pressure, shouldn't I? This Cultivation Path, it should be covered with a limitless amount of trials and tribulations!"
Hearing his sad tone he finally Leo finally realized what Leon was going through. This was a problem only him and maybe that "man" faced. Being ahead of all others. It was lonely at the top of the pyramid, and although Leon had just began his way up he was always on top of his Realm.
**There's only one way then eh? Find worthy opponents. And fight stronger Beasts here. For example the Nascent Soul has three stages, at the peak of the Foundation Realm you can deal with Middle State Nascent Soul Cultivators; that is if you strengthen your fleshy body using those body refining methods your father got you.**
After spewing out a mouthful of wisdom Leo was out of breath, before he remembered that he didn't need to breathe to survive.
"I forgot about those!" Leon exclaimed as he pulled out a book from his inventory, the cover read "Drake Body Refinement Technique". There was also a picture of a human, except his skin shined like purple crystals blue and his eyes shone a variety of colours, resembling a galaxy.
Leon quickly dropped into a mediating pose, ready to comprehend this Body Refinement Technique. He rapidly read through the manual and eventually came up with a summary.
This "Drake Body Refinement Technique" was actually a set, of 9. This Drake Set could make one as strong as 1000 Body Transformation Cultivators at it's final stage.
This Refinement Technique was divided into three Realms, Skin Refinement, Organ Refinement and the most mysterious Meridian Refinement.
Skin Refinement, depending on the quality of the material used to Refine it can either make the skin as strong as copper, or as strong as or as strong as diamond. Legends even say that some can use this Technique to make their skin as strong as an entire world! Of course those were just myths.
Organ Refinement, following the same principal of quality equals strength, Organ Refinement has numerous benefits. The need to use the bathroom, eat, and even sleep all disappear with this Refinement.
As for the mysterious and most powerful Meridian Refinement, Although it grants peerless boons. The main gain was that one would be in a constant cultivation state! However, the requirements for the refining materials was extremely brutal. In all of history only one genius of the Sky Heaven World had reached the Meridian Refinement State.
After once again reading through the manual Leon had a firm grasp on it so he decided to begin cultivating it. Though he didn't have any materials so he asked Leo the golden question he had been thinking about.
"Leo, Absorber can absorb the life of the enemy right? And life is a law, surely nothing is better than the power of Law to temper one's body?" Leon slowly spaced all the words, making sure he didn't stutter.
Leo looked rather surprised by Leon's sudden inquiry, however he regained his calm and replied "It depends on you, using the power of Law is indeed the most powerful method. However it'll be slower. Much, much slower.**
"How much slower?"
**Take a look at your status** Leo said as the black panel appeared Infront of Leon involuntarily.

Before Leon could comment on the change in his status, Leo continued
**1000 Life Force, doesn't seem like much right?, Well it is. Atleast for you, a Golden Core Beast has about 1 Life Force, after forming the Nascent Soul they become worth 3 Life Force. A Body Transformation Cultivator is worth 10 Life Force.** Leo said, focusing on the little numbers given by the Core Realm and Nascent Realm Cultivators.
""So either a 1000 Core Realm Beasts, 334 Nascent Soul Realm Beasts, or 100 Body Transformation Realm Beasts. Where did all Life Force I've collected uptill now go? I didn't feel any significant change in my physical strength."
**It's stored within you, but don't get your hopes up. Only about 129 Life Force is accumulated so far.** Leo tried to pop Leon's bubble of joy as soon as it appeared, however he underestimated him!
"Only 300 Nascent Soul Realm Beasts? I can do that in 4 days. Maybe" Leon said, feeling confident yet unsure at the same time; indecisive!
**Then have fun with that! You have an hour and a half before you have to go back.** Leo said mockingly as he disappeared.
Leon shook his head as he rushed towards Peak Core Realm Beasts and began slaughtering them, he killed till he only needed a few hundred thousands of Qi to breakthrough, planning to kill a Middle State Nascent Soul Realm to gain an achievement.
