While Others Cultivate, I LVL UP In My Sleep Using The Dungeon System

Chapter 67 - Training



After witnessing the strength of the old man, that was his supposed weakened state, Adam was amazed, and no longer doubted him or regretted his decision, of coming to such a remote and far location, in the slightest.

Wanting to prove himself to his new master, and also wanting to push himself to gain strength, Adam didn't stop and ran at his full speed up the mountain that stood behind the dojo.

​​

It was quite a tall mountain that was over 1km tall, but what made it harder to scale was its steep sides and trees that grew all around the mountain.

As Adam reached higher up the mountain he could feel the air around him become scarcer as he was finding it more and more difficult to breathe.

However, with his enhanced body, that was strengthened both Internally and Externally and had both Internal and External Energy Storages, Adam was yet to feel tired.

It took him 10 minutes to reach the top at his full speed and when he reached the top, his MP had fallen by a couple of points and he had exerted himself quite heavily.

"It seems this incline really is quite difficult" mumbled Adam as he started heading back down.

It was much harder for Adam to descend the mountain than climbing it with its steep sides that were hard to go down without slipping.

Keeping his balance required all his core strength and focus as he ran down at full speed and dodged the dense trees all around the mountain.

Adam was shocked by how difficult it was to climb and descend the mountain and he had scrapes, scratches and cuts all over his body from the sharp branches that slashed him as he ascended and descended the mountain.

It took him double the amount of time to descend the mountain and it had tired him more, while also injuring him.

[This will be more of a challenge than I thought] said Adam to himself as he headed straight back up without a break.

The old man who was intrigued to see Adam's progress was impressed by his will and drive to continue despite being tired and injured from ascending and descending the mountain once.

Adam was focusing more and more on his task that seemed simple and he kept ascending and descending the mountain continuously without stopping.

The time he took each time was beginning to increase as the fatigue began to seep in, but each time he was scathed less and less by the trees.

He was beginning to use his intelligence stat that enhanced his senses more wisely as he was becoming more and more perceptive and attentive to everything around him.

After 10 times, Adam's MP had dwindled to 4 points and he felt his body becoming extremely sluggish and heavy as he continued trudging up the mountain, not wanting to stop until he had completed his task.

Not only had his MP decreased, but his HP had also fallen by over 100 points from the trees that slashed him all over his body.

However, it wasn't the slashes themselves that made him lose so much HP, but was the blood loss that they caused.

His clothes were ripped to tatters and drenched in his blood and sweat as he continued up the mountain.

"This kid is incredible. Not only is he cultivating both internally and externally, he learns and grows rapidly from what I have seen and has strong will power that is fortified by his drive and ambition" observed his master.

Adam's entire body was in pain from the fatigue and cuts, but compared to what Adam experienced when he had the Blood Burn and Blood Berserker extensions activated, it wasn't too much to handle.

Ignoring the pain, Adam continued up and down the mountain as his previous sprint had become a walk.

After climbing and descending the mountain 12 times, Adam's MP had fallen to a mere single point, but he still had no intention of stopping.

Adam had decided not to look at his status that would only hinder his drive and would keep going no matter the pain or fatigue.

His master who was sat above the dojo and observing Adam was shocked by Adam's will that was borderline crazy.

Adam's body was screaming at him to stop as his body was struggling to function and stay conscious.

But his will was unwilling to back down and he continued staggering up the mountain.

Eventually, Adam's walk became a crawl as his body could no longer hold him up.

But even at that state he kept going and crawled towards the top of the mountain even with his body nearing its limit.

However, with his willpower alone he wasn't able to continue and within a minute, Adam's body had collapsed and lost consciousness as he lay on the ground unmoving.

Watching him the old man dashed towards him and had reached him within seconds from standing atop the dojo and carrying Adam's unconscious body with ease, he took Adam back to the dojo.

"This child is crazy. His body has completely exhausted its External and Internal energy and has also been injured fatally with a large amount of blood loss. He would have died out there if I didn't get to him straight away and his above-average recovery speed" said the old man to himself, shocked by the insane disciple he had taken in

Adam who was now within his consciousness had a satisfied expression with how much he was able to push himself and wasn't fazed much by the HP and MP loss that he knew he could recover quite easily with the Ethereal Recovery Skill.

[System can I enter the dungeon directly from my consciousness, even if my body is unconscious] asked Adam, who despite the mental strain he experienced, wanted to continue training his body.

{Yes that is possible but when the host returns from the dungeon, you will experience a lot of pain and you're a wimp, so I don't think you can handle it} answered the system.

Adam wasn't aggravated by the system's words in the slightest, but still didn't care about the pain that was to come and believed he could handle it.

[System take me into the dungeon] ordered Adam.

{The host is being transported to Floor 2} announced the system as he felt his soul being sucked out of his body.
