Capítulo 79: Peak of level 1

"Hhhhheeee" Leon could be seen profusely sweating in his room. He seemed to be having a hard time advancing.

"Huuu" He let out an air of exhaustion as he opened his eyes and looked around.

"It's already dark out" Leon said. From beginner stage to middle stage had taken him about 3 hours. This seemed long and frustrating, but as compared to what he was going through now, he could only feel like what he had to go through previously was but a walk in the park.

This was already about 15 hours after he started absorbing the energy from the red devilwood and he hadn't even finished absorbing 1/4 of its entire length.

"Is there something wrong?" Leon frowned. This made no sense to him, all this while that he hadn't tried to breakthrough was because he was tuning his control of life-energy. With impeccable control came good foundations, with the resources he had now it should be easy to breakthrough.
