A New Challenge Awaits
The air was thick with the scent of decay as Ron stood over the lifeless body of the giant spider. His victory was a testament to his skill and courage, but he knew it was merely a stepping stone on his arduous journey to the Elemental Body. The path ahead was long and fraught with danger, but Ron was determined to reach the summit, no matter the cost.
As the spider lay still, the system rewarded Ron for his triumph. A series of notifications appeared before his eyes, informing him of his newfound gains: a B-rank Skill Memory, a C-rank Skill Memory, the Mutated Spider Core, and the Flying Sword. The Guide explained that the Flying Sword was a powerful weapon, especially for cultivators and martial artists, and could be obtained by completing hidden missions or defeating hidden bosses. Additionally, the Guide hinted at a unique job awaiting Ron on the 10th floor, a prospect that filled him with anticipation.
Exhausted from the battle, Ron returned to his room and rested for a full day. Upon waking, he consulted the Guide about his next steps. The Guide assured him that his current stats made clearing the remaining floors relatively easy but advised him to focus on tempering his body for a smoother breakthrough to the next realm. Ron agreed, understanding the importance of physical strength for his cultivation.
After a thorough equipment check, Ron stepped through the portal to the 5th floor and received a new quest: to rescue the foxes from the attacking orcs. This floor was known for providing companions to Challengers, but the orcs had become more powerful due to sacrificing the foxes to a demon.
Without hesitation, Ron marched towards the orc village, his sword ready. He swiftly eliminated the orcs, freeing the captive fox cubs. Even after slaughtering most of the village, Ron remained composed. The orc chief, a formidable warrior, eventually confronted him, but Ron's superior skills quickly dispatched him.
The system acknowledged Ron's victory:
Ding! You have defeated the orc chief.
Ding! You have acquired a D-rank Skill Memory.
Ding! You have acquired an E-rank Skill Memory.
With the orc village cleared, Ron turned his attention to the fox cubs. They were huddled together, their eyes filled with fear and confusion. Ron approached them cautiously, hoping to calm them down. To his surprise, the cubs seemed to sense his gentle nature and approached him willingly.
