Throughout the week Blake had been working his ass off, he went from cultivating to practicing his weapon techniques and combat skills coupled with the Raiju breathing technique. His hands were full.
Although his cultivation speed had reduced drastically it was for a good reason. According to the system, after filling up the first 4 stars connected to him in a diamond shape, for him to advance to the next level he would have to fill up 12 more stars, and realizing he had three elements meant 36 stars!
When he heard the news from the system he began thinking if he should just quit because it took a lot of time for him to complete just 4 and he was sure that the more stars he filled the more difficult it would be.
At first, the system was disappointed by his thoughts of giving up, but he put into consideration that Blake was from a planet that was disconnected from the mana supply of the mother stream and cut him some slack.
