"Congratulations on clearing the 6th floor," said the teacher as we returned to the library.
"Thank you," I said and looked at the new floor that had opened.
The benefits are good, but I am more excited about the new floors. I have waited too long for it, and now I am barely able to contain myself.
"Go," she said, understanding how I was feeling, and faded away while I moved to the sixth floor.
It had been five and half months since I had made a breakthrough into the Prime, but I only tried the challenge now, and it had been a wise choice.
I was barely able to solve it on time, but I did.
I reached the sixth floor and looked at the vast collection of books. They are everywhere, and in every subject. I could think of. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel fire.net
I wanted to try for the challenge much before, and it would help me with inheritance along with others, but as I had said, it was wise of me to wait.
I picked one book and then another and another. I kept picking one book after another.
It took me quite a while before I was able to calm myself and browse the book. I picked up those that I needed and walked away.
My clones did the same.
In the next couple of weeks. We will take it slow on the inheritance. Focus more on enriching ourselves with knowledge.
It is not just the inheritance clones doing that, but all the other clones, except for one. It will remain out for miscellaneous things.
Runes and inheritance aren't the only ones needed for inheritance. Other things do, too. Healing, artifice, and every other thing.
I studied with the pile of books in front of me. I was so engrossed that I skipped lunch. When the time for dinner came, I skipped that one, too.
I have become like a crazy sponge on a mission to suck as much knowledge as I could.
Still, I focused on stopping at midnight. I was tired; it might not feel like it, but I was in the library for days, and it was tiring, no matter how interesting it was.
I opened my eyes but didn't get off the couch.
Instead, I sat down, and a moment later, a sandwich appeared in my hand.
I don't like to practice, hunger. I can't concentrate, and that is necessary, given the types of methods I practice. A single mistake and I would be transported to heaven or hell.
I finished the sandwich and went to the practice room before started practicing the dance.
It had been five months since I had been here and since I began. I didn't skip the practice even a single day, and that had shown the result.
My strength is rising fast. I had made amazing progress. Especially in the Talaras.
There are hundreds of those needle-point gems in my constitution, and I have no idea what they do.
I am scared, but I am practicing the method despite the fact it might push me into the gorge of death. It is extremely risky, but the other choices I have will take too long and won't produce results such as the Talaras.
I finished the dance and slowly sat down before starting to take a deep breath.
A few minutes later, I begin talaras.
When I am finished, I simply lay down to rest; the method has become heavier than ever with the power I have. They make me cripplingly weak.
I couldn't even shower; the only thing I could manage was to vaporize all the sweat.
So, when I woke up the next day. There wouldn't be any sweat caking over me, and I would smell bad.
I woke up early in the morning and followed the rituals as I did before sit on the circle of runes.
I appeared at my core. I wanted to walk into the library immediately, but I controlled myself. It is likely that I will come out before the night.
So, I decided to take a walk while enjoying the scenery around me.
It had been over five months since I had made a breakthrough, and a lot had changed.
The trees have grown further, and there are a lot of resources. However, the biggest change is the bees. There are new types of bees.
These bees are smaller, but every other bee gives way to them.
They are Prime drones.
The Prime Bees had matured and produced the drones, which are amazing. The Prime grade honey made by them had completely blown up my mind.
That, I wish, there would have been more Prime grade trees.
Currently, I have kept the number of Prime Bees and drones limited. If I had more trees, I would have increased their numbers more.
I took a step and appeared at the hive. In front of me is a shimmering prime-grade
Even after years here, only a fifth of storage has the Prime Honey. It is the most in this hive; the other hives have even less.
I am not using even a drop of it, but there are too few trees of the Prime Grade.
There are only a few hundred of them, which are a little over 1% of all the other trees in here.
I didn't collect even a single drop of Sky-Grade honey. I just watched it for a while.
A few minutes later, I walked into the library and didn't immediately start to study. Instead, I sat down in meditation to comprehend.
I could slow down many things to study, but not anything.
I am steadily increasing the number of runes and my comprehension of the Law
power, and I want to continue with that.
Hours later, I stopped and created the runes of swallowing.
After that, I rested before finally starting to study.
I didn't stop until it was midnight.
Days passed and turned into weeks. I didn't change my schedule one bit.
Every day, I would enter my core in the morning after breakfast and leave at midnight.
I was glad I had no commitments.
It helped me focus on my studies with everything I had.
Time passed, and one day, I felt a familiar soul after touching the security formation.
