Year 1035 of the Zhang Dynasty - Outlands of Heavenly Phoenix City - Northeast wall

On the way here I decided to gift my horse at one farm.

[I hope he lives a long live]

(Me too)

Where I am going is too dangerous for him.

[Now, how are we going through this?]

In front of me there was a wall of twenty meters height with guards on top and arrays to the inner side to maintain the spiritual creatures outside.

(By Earth Manipulation)

[...it was a silly question]

...

Once out of sight of the guards, I dig a hole of a radius of one meter diagonally in front of me with Earth Manipulation and walk in. Just to be sure of not being caught, I dig 40 meters deep and plan to come out 500 meters far from the walls.

After digging for a while, we reached the another side.

[How far is that forest?]

(About 40 km)

[Time to test your stamina then]

(What?)

[Run]

////////////////////////

I reach The Northern Forest after a relaxing run, luckily I didn't find anything nor anyone on the way.

[40 points in 40 km, very good]

(Aren't I going to fight right now?)

[Your style of fighting doesn't need stamina, so it is fine]

(...)

[Lets find something to fight, okay?]

Here I go, full strength...

“Life Detection“

[5 MP CONSUMED]

With my 1 km radius of reach, I cover almost half of the forest and I discover some bronze rank spiritual creatures to hunt.

...

In front of me there is a gray two meters boar-like creature.

“whiiig“

And instantly it charges towards me.

[Plan A, do it as we planned and everything is going to be fine]

Wait.

“Whiiiiiigh“

Wait.

“Whiiiii...“

Now, two meters!

The Earth Manipulation already active under my pant connects me with the earth, so I don't need to speak.

(Earth Embrace!)

[Earth Embrace!]

The soil grabs the boar legs almost immediately and spreads on the body.

The maximum range of Earth Manipulation is three meters, my body needs to be connected to what I want to control and it is stronger the closer of my body it is.

[Finish it]

I walk closer to the boar and touch it.

“Goodbye“

I bury it three meters below me.

[SPIRITUAL BOAR DEFEATED, MIND EXPERIENCE OBTAINED]

[Next time bury it before getting closer]

The plan was simple, I wait until the foe is in two meters range and then use my hidden already active Earth Manipulation to bury it on the ground. This way even if I cant break its defenses I may have a chance of sealing it.

[Now plan B]

The plan B was to go on to the offensive without caring about MP usage.

I went to another boar and this time is my turn, the earth below me embrace my body and then...

(Earth Knight)

[Earth Knight]

[450 MP CONSUMED]

////////////////////////

It takes the shape of an medieval full plate armor of another world made with compressed soil to protect my body and boost it.

“Whig?“

I crush the boar's head with my strengthened fist and my increased speed before it can even start his charging.

[SPIRITUAL BOAR DEFEATED, MIND EXPERIENCE OBTAINED]

(Cancel Earth Manipulation)

I cancel the Earth Knight and activate the Under clothes Earth Reinforce.

“Earth Manipulation“

Without the mana of Earth Manipulation the armor is just a dead weight.

The Plan B is strong but only last two minutes in the best case.

(Lets save this for strong foes)

[All right, plan C]

I use Earth Manipulation and dig diagonally the faster I can while covering my trail.

[Good]

Plan C is basically run away.

(Lets continue use plan A until the sunset, do you agree?)

[I agree]

...

After making a simple bunker in the ground with Earth Manipulation, I ask Maria.

(I killed four bronze ranked spiritual creatures today, why I didn't gain a level?)

[You will only level up while sleeping, so good night]

If that is the case then...

(Good night Maria)
