As I left Colonel Morgan's presence, I felt a mix of relief and anticipation. The promise of the High Tier Mana Essence was the final thing that I had needed: a chance to finally move beyond the endless grind of the battlefield.
After all, for the past three weeks, I had already reached the peak of the stage two. The mana cultivation was complete, and I had already formed the required meridians for the third stage.
Now, at this point, there was only one thing I needed to do.
Breakthrough to the third stage. But for this, the amount of mana I had accumulated was a little bit lacking. If not for the High Tier Mana Essence, it would have taken me at least more than five months of cultivation for me to reach the third grade.
And I could not afford to do so, as I already knew from the content of the novel that this battle would end just two months later.
