Chapter 7

There was a way to cultivate your physique stats and that was by absorbing stat crystal. There were crystals called Strength crystal, Dexterity crystal, Endurance crystal, and Focus crystal. There were also Health, Mana, and, Stamina crystals and their regeneration crystals. There was also a Skill crystal that you can use to upgrade your skill.

As such, it can help in raising your physique stats by absorbing the crystals while cultivating your physique.

Arthas ventured into the monsters' forest to collect those. Having a sword on his waist and leather armor with a curved dagger on his back. A bow and a quiver of arrows were on his back. He also didn't forget to bring potions with him.

With his bedroll attached to his backpack, he was ready to go on an adventure. Also brought his rations with him, dried meat that was ready to be made into soup with just water and salt.

He went on an adventure on the edge of human settlements. Today was its weekend so he has time for a little leisure and to train his physique stats. It was zero at the moment and so he needs to improve it.

The way was lonely and the wind was the only one that whispered. Leaves were being carried by them. He ventured solitarily on the way and the path led to the entrance of the monster's forest.

The entrance was gloomy and depressing. Howls of air were what he can hear from where he stood. The forest floor was covered with dried leaves and has a foreboding atmosphere. As he entered, the forest became dark and the temperature dropped.

He delved further into the deeper parts of the forest and soon heard howls of animals inside it.

"Demon wolves, they are nasty ones that have Dexterity stat crystals. I must get one for myself," Arthas said in a low voice.

He traveled and followed their tracks, the hunt begins, and tracking them inside the forest will be an easy task for him. Wolves were the ones who hunted but not the ones who were hunted instead.

And so, they were not wary of anything that will cause them harm.

He followed them and then saw them feasting on a deer. Others bicker with the others for their share.

Arthas then climbed a tree and then watched them from above.

He broke a monster attractant on the footing of the tree and the wolves immediately followed the scent. They arrived at the footing then Arthas equipped his bow. Firing at their heads one by one.

They barked at him from below and even when their comrades were slowly killed one by one, they were not backing down. Arthas then smirked, he knew they would not fall back anytime soon.

He fired at their heads and they went limp immediately after the arrow hits. A perfect weapon for him with low stats.

With the potion working, ten of them fell even without making a fight.

After the monster attractant lost its effects, he immediately dropped down from the top of the tree. He then stabbed them and their stat crystal floated from their bodies.

He grabbed them all and then halted his movements after a growl was heard. He looked back and saw a demon tiger, ready to pounce at him anytime.

"Tsk!"

He was then attacked and he rolled on the side. He drew his bow and fired at it. It then ran towards him and he fired at it. The tiger was then hit on the shoulders and he backflipped on the side. Then fired at it in the head after they crossed paths.

The enemy then growled as it removed the arrows from its body.

"Shit," Arthas cursed.

Arthas then drew his sword on his waist and put his bow on his back. He then also drew his curved dagger on his back and wielded the sword with it.

"Come and get some,"

Arthas then dashed towards it and the enemy leaped towards him. He then slid his body to the ground and then slashed the tiger on its abdomen with his sword and dagger.

Its abdomen was opened by his slash and the enemy was heavily wounded. Blood splurted out and then the tiger went shaky on its footing. It then crashed to the ground and went limp.

Arthas then ran and stabbed its back towards its chest which pierced its heart in the process. Immediately, the crystal floated and he grabbed it.

The demon tiger's crystal boasts of its +1 Strength, +1 Dexterity, +1 Endurance, and +10 Health points. While demon wolves only give +1 Dexterity.

Arthas then rested for a while and then went back to his dorm. He traveled back and camped on the roadside.

He made a fire pit and installed his bedroll on the dried leaves. With a small pot, he put his dried meat in water. Then seasoned it with small salt and ginger. Also, add cabbages to the pot and ground black pepper.

He cooked it well and ate with his bowl. Letting it cool down a bit and sipping the broth. Eating plenty after his tiring battle in the forest. He installed a tent and then rested inside. The wind was chilly and it was colliding with his tent. He slept in cool weather and comfort.

Morning came and he resumed his travels. The sun has went up from the east and the birds sounded in the forest.

He saw the city and then saw guards at the gates. He entered and then traveled towards the school.

Upon reaching his dorm, he entered his room and then put the 10 demon wolf crystals on his bed; as well as the demon tiger crystal.

He went to a lotus position and then started to cultivate while absorbing the crystals. Using the versatile all-rounder cultivation, he was slowly absorbing the crystals and immediately felt that the crystals were slowly dissipating. It then went inside his body and became nourishment for his physique stats.

He then saw that all his crystals were absorbed by his body and greatly felt the difference from before. With him absorbing it all, his stats were Strength 1, Dexterity 11, Endurance 1, and Focus 1.

It was then, that he had opened his card and he chose his physique stats on the screen. By using it, it will show your stats. You can always see your improvement every time you have improved your stats.
