William stood up after testing his body's stamina and new strength. At this time, the only sad thing about his breakthrough to the bronze level was that his body was weakened after absorbing the blood crystal. His body was almost three sizes smaller than before.
To others, this might have been seen as a sacrifice for strength, but William had devoted much time to shaping his body from day one. He worked day and night. Looking weak now obviously upset him.
What comforted him despite this distressing situation was that he had become stronger. Moreover, there would come a day when he would become weaker by absorbing more blood crystals later on. With this in mind, he thought that he should increase the amount of meat he would eat. From now on, he would have to pay attention to his diet as well.
He stood up and stretched his body. It was time for him to leave. He needed to return to academia and learn meditation techniques. Besides, he had a lot of other work to do.
