On top of branchof a large tree in the black frost forest, Alex and Abigale could be seen cultivating.
It has been 2 days since he broke through to the 9th order realm. Even after defeating the beast day before yesterday, Alex felt his cultivation wasn't stable enough and spent yesterday fighting beasts as well.
He felt that his cultivation was stable enough today, and tried to break through. He gathered spirit energy into his body and tried to break the limit that was preventing him from advancing into the foundation establishment realm.
He attacked it with all his strength, and a slight cracking sound was heard. He striked it once more and a louder sound was heard. This continued for than 5 minutes until, the limit was shattered completely.
Abigale woke up due to the sudden influx of spirit energy around it.
Spirit energy began rushing into his body at a fast pace, strengthing his body to another degree.
"Finally, I have broken through to the foundation establishment realm!"
Alex said outloud with happiness. Abigale also came and sat down on his shoulder
[The host has successfully broken through to the foundation establishment realm]
[Host has unlocked the level function, current level: 1]
[10 stat points gained]
[Host has unlocked the beast space function]
[Host authority has been increased]
[Host has gained the skill: flight]
[Skill: wind slash has upgraded to gale slash]
[Skill: wind manipulation has been upgraded to wind control]
[Range of the skill: wind control has become 2 metres]
Alex was bombarded with all of these notifications at once. He went through them, but he couldn't understand the 2nd and 3rd notifications.
"Hey system, I thought you could only show my and Abigale's statuses, give quests and make beast contracts"
[The host asked "what are your current functions" , so I informed you about the functions I had at that time.]
Alex felt like beating the system up right now. But he quickly calmed down and asked
"Just tell me about this level function"
[The level function is like cultivation host, only you need EXP instead of spirit energy. Higher the level, the stronger you are]
Alex was able to vaguely understand about the level function. Now, it was time to ask the next question.
"What is the beast space?"
[Beast space is a personal spatial realm where the host can store his beasts.(please note that the host cannot enter the beast space)]
Alex was suprised at it's description. But he quickly understood it's importance. There might come a day where Abigale become so enormous and he couldn't take him inside cities, so the beast space would save him a lot of trouble. He might be able to use it even in the middle of a fight.
Now, it was time to see his new stats

(Stamina: decides how long you can persist at a certain activity)
Except for defence and the newly unlocked stamina stats, all of his stats had surpassed 80. After thinking for a little, he distributed his stat points into defence and stamina equaly.
He stood up while saying,
"Abigale, let's head out a!"
....
10 minutes later,
Alex could be seen fighting a red giant ape.
Alex had told abigale to not to interfere because he wanted to know how he would fare against a beast in the same realm as him.
The red ape swung it's large fist at him, but he easily dodged it with his superior speed. Alex used this chance to deal a blow to the ape with the rabbit horn to the red ape.
The red ape let out a angry gibber.(incase yoy don't know it is the soud that is produced by apes)
The red ape showed a expression that could kill, well, it was planning on killing Alex.
"Oops! I think I made it really angry. Well, time to test out my new upgraded skills"
Alex said outloud while turning his hand into a chopping position
The ape rushed towards him at a fast speed. Alex calmly stared at the ape. His hand, which was in a chopping position, slashed towards the incoming ape.
"Gale slash!"
A bright green aura like a thin line appeared from the air where his hand passed through just now and rushed forward before passing through the red ape.
"The hell, didn't it do anything to this ape"
Alex exclaimed while preparing to jump away. Just as he was about to jump to the side, the fast approaching ape suddenly splited from the middle.
Yes, it split from the middle!
[Host has gained 20 EXP]
The reason the ape didn't stop moving even after being hit with gale slash was because of the momentum it had built up previously.
Abigale stared at the cleanly split corpse of the red ape while wondering 'will my wind slash also be able to do that in the future?'
Alex was shocked at the power of gale slash. Even his attack using the rabbit horn barely left a scratch on it's tough skin, but the gale slash cut through it like it was thin paper.
He looked at the skill description of the skill
[wind slash
Tier : low
Effect: sends a strong gale in the form of a slash from the limbs of the body]
The tier went from inferior to low and the limitation of only being able to use the skill only through his hands was removed.
He kicked in a straight vertical line while trying to activate gale slash.
A bright green aura in the shape of a thin line from the space his leg passed by came outward and slash a tree about 5 metres away.
"Damn, this is almost recognizable from wind slash. Wait a sec, if this has changed so much what about that?"
Alex hurriedly pulled up the info about wind control.
