Spiritual Assimilation

Sparks gleamed with enthusiasm. The battle had reached a point where nothing else mattered; Strax had entered an absolute state of combat.

He had entered what some call the "Zone," a complete state of focus. Strax wasn't an ordinary individual, and this was evident even before the System came into play. Though the System had helped him in its own way, he had always been a genius.

His adaptive capability, his relentless drive to keep moving forward even when faced with insurmountable challenges...

"Swords... guide me," Strax murmured in his mind. He wanted to continue, to advance, but the challenge was immense. It wasn't just about a cultivation realm—it was about advancing to a completely different level.

The gap in cultivation was enormous. The early realms were easy to achieve, but beyond the Master level, things changed drastically. Now, this fight boiled down to nothing but raw power.
