(From MC's POV)
After storing the disected parts of the Violet Snake Monster, I walked towards the gigantic body of the bear monster. I already sent a message to Elder Thornton. So, I'm not worried about the appearance of some random monster all of a sudden.
20 minutes later,
I dissected the bear monster's body parts and placed them back in my storage ring. Two monster cores will fetch a lot of money. I plan to sell it through online later.
After erasing the trail of lightning energy, I walked towards the entrance. I'm tired of acting this low-key. I hope it will change soon. I can't wait for the Crimson Hall Exhibition event where I can show off my ability. Only the strength of Tier-7 City warriors troubling me.
Before the event, I need to raise my essence cultivation to the same level as my body strength.
It will probably take a few weeks to get a breakthrough in essence cultivation. But if I get some lightning resources, it will save a lot of time.
When it comes to Lightning resources, only one person comes to mind: my teacher. At this time, I made a decision in my heart to contact him once I got back to my home.
After walking near the exit, I reminded Elder Thornton to open the door.
"Creak," the huge metallic door opens.
Seeing that, I stepped outside and waited near the lift for Elder Thornton to come.
Soon, a silhoutte hurriedly walked towards me.
"You brat, how you did it?" Elder Thornton asked in surprise.
Seeing his flustered expression, I understood he must be surprised about my clearance time.
To answer his question, it's impossible to tell him that I killed the two monsters with lightning power.
Shaking my head, I changed the subject and said, "Elder, I have some other work to do." I'll contact you when I get ready for the blood test."
After saying that, I stepped inside the lift.
Elder Thornton was stupified by my direct rebutal. He hurriedly answered, "Alright brat, wait for me."
He entered the lift with me. When the lift's door completely closed, I turned towards him and asked, "Elder, Is there any resources which can improve essence cultivation? "
I asked him after weighing everything in my mind. It will be a matter of time before he knows my lightning ability.
Since, I'm not going to reveal my lightning element directly. It doesn't hurt if I can ask one or two things about essence cultivation.
A strange glint flashes in Elder Thornton's eyes. He wasn't expecting such a question from Zack. Ever since he met with Zack, Zach has always talked about Class Monsters. This is the first time Zack has talked about essence cultivation or other fighting techniques on this campus.
Seeing the shocked expression of Elder Thornton, I called out his name, "Elder Thornton."
By hearing his name, Elder Thornton retracted his thoughts and looked at Zack again.
Elder Thornton said, "Zack, What happened to you? You never talked about essence cultivation before. "
So he caught on, and I sighed internally.
Then I honestly answered, "Elder, I want to improve my essence cultivation. For that, I need some special resources."
Elder Thornton's expression condensed after hearing my request. He replied, "You already holed out our campus resources, now you are asking back again. What have you done with the precious herbs which Arthur gave you?"
Those previous herbs are obviously not helpful at all. My lightning essence is difficult to improve with these herbs. Otherwise, why do I long for lightning resources?
Seeing that Elder Thornton is not at all convinced by my request, I said, "Elder, I have kept those herbs. But I don't think it will be helpful for my breakthrough. "
This time, Elder Thornton was shocked again. He remembers Zack's getting a breakthrough not long ago at the Star Tower Competition. Now he is talking about a breakthrough? Elder Thornton doesn't know what to say?
He looked at Zack with a serious expression. "Did he consume all those pills to get a breakthrough?" Elder Thornton thought to himself.
Then again, he shakes his head in denial. Cultivation through pills won't have a stable base. Seeing Zack's previous performance, he doesn't think that might be the case.
To kill those monsters in half an hour is not a joke.
We reached the first floor while we were talking.
"Creak" the lift door opens.
Both of us stepped outside the lift, but neither of us brought the topic back again.
I thought it was up to him next whether he wanted to help me or not.
After bidding good bye to him, I headed straight towards the exit.
Elder Thornton watched Zack's back disappear slowly. He ponders that if what Zack says is true, then he must help him. He has already shown a splendid performance at Star Tower.
If Zack gets another breakthrough, it will be good for him and also good for our campus.
Zack might really contend against the geniuses of Tier-7 City.
A flicker of interest flashes in Elder Thornton's eyes. Next, he walks back to his cabin.
On the other hand,
I noticed the watch light up with a notification as I approached the exit. I opened it to view. I smiled, seeing it was from Ms. Key. She is currently at Mr. Arthur's cabin.
"It's been a long time since I last saw her. I wonder how she is doing" I muttered to myself.
Then I turned back and walked towards Mr. Arthur's cabin. Maybe my sullen mood will brighten up after talking to her.
In a few minutes, I reached Mr. Arthur's cabin.
"Creak," the door opens.
When I walked inside, the first thing that came into view was the beautiful silhouette of Ms. Key. She is sitting opposite Mr. Arthur. She wore an adventure uniform.
If not for her teaching here, I might think of her as an actual adventure guild person.
Shaking my head, I walked up to her.
Seeing me coming, both of them turned towards me. Mr. Arthur gestures to take a seat.
