”Come on, Slait. Show me your human form,” Seeing Slait waking up from his cultivation, Ajax asked him to transform into his human form.

”Sure,” Nodding his head, Slait closed his eyes and concentrated on his transformation.

Within a few seconds, his transparent body turned real with a blinding light around his body.

After the blinding light subsided, Ajax saw the final form of Slait.

Slait looked like a ten years old boy with baby skin and chubby cheeks which made Ajax pinch them.

”Slait, you are so cute,” while pinching Slait's cheeks, Ajax said to him with a smile on his face.

”Ouch...It hurts,” Slait quickly freed himself from Ajax's hand and cried while holding his cheeks in his hands.

Seeing the crying Slait, Ajax stopped his pinching and apologised to Slait.

Only after apologising, Slait finally calmed down.

”Slait, rest well. Tomorrow we have a battle which we should win, okay?” Ajax told Slait to rest while explaining the details for tomorrow's battle.

”Okay,” guarding his cheeks, Slait reverted to his spirit form and entered into the inner world.

Seeing his action, Ajax lightly shook his head while holding back his urge to pinch his cheeks again.

”I will cultivate to gather some essence of nature into my spirit consciousness until tomorrow then,” As he completed all things, for now, he wanted to cultivate to fill his spirit consciousness.

Soon he entered into cultivation with spirit stones in his hand.

After his cultivation reached Level 4 of the commander realm, his cultivation speed at which his absorption of the essence of nature from the surroundings also increased by a huge margin.

Along with the Heaven and earth elemental refining technique, the absorption speed became very fast.

Without knowing, he spent a whole day in the cultivation, and he only woke up the next morning with a bright look in his eyes.

”System, how many hours did I cultivate this time?”, Ajax asked the system about the time.

It was a usual thing for him to ask the system about his cultivation time.

'Ding,

The host spent a whole 24 hours in seclusion this time.

”What? I spent the whole day?” Ajax was shocked as this was his first time spending a full day in the cultivation (gaining the essence of nature).

Previously his highest time for spending in cultivation without stopping in the middle was 12 hours, but now the duration directly became doubled.

”It's good,” Ajax thought it was a good thing, because as the time for his cultivation increases, then that means his foundations were very stable.

”I have to get ready soon and go to the ground for the weekly spar Senior brother Paulin,” with that Ajax quickly entered his bathroom and freshened up quickly.

….

In the training ground behind the Hazegroove mercenary squad's residence,

Edmond and Udo were sitting under a tree as he looked at the Ajax and Paulin who were warming up his muscles before the fight.

As for Lewis and Jeff, they sat under another tree with some snacks in their hands.
