The Dungeon System
67. training

After witnessing the old man's strength, it was his supposed weakened state, Adam was amazed, and no longer doubted him or regretted his decision, to come to such a remote and distant location, in the slightest.

Wanting to prove himself to his new master, and also wanting to push himself to gain strength, Adam did not stop and ran at full speed up the mountain standing behind the dojo.

It was a fairly tall mountain that was over 1 km high, but what made it harder to climb were its steep sides and the trees growing around the mountain.

When Adam reached the higher mountain, he could feel the air around him becoming increasingly scarce as he grew harder to breathe.

However, with his enhanced body, which was strengthened both Internally and Externally and had Internal and External Energy Storage, Adam had yet to feel tired.

He took 10 minutes to reach the top at his full speed and when he reached the top, his MP had dropped a few points and he had exerted himself quite a lot.

"It seems like this climb is very difficult" Adam murmured as he began to fall back down.

It was much harder for Adam to climb down the mountain than it was to climb it on a steep side that was difficult to descend without slipping.

Maintaining balance required all of his core strength and focus as he ran at full speed and dodged the dense trees around the mountain.

Adam was surprised by how difficult it was to climb and climb down the mountain and all over his body were scratches, scratches and incisions from sharp branches slashing at him as he climbed and went down the mountain.

He took twice as long to descend the mountain and it made him even more tired, while also injuring him.

[It will be more challenging than I thought] Adam said to himself as he went straight back upstairs without a break.

The curious old man saw Adam's progress impressed with his will and spirit to go on despite being tired and injured from climbing and descending the mountain once.

Adam increasingly focused on his seemingly simple task and he continued to climb up and down the mountain continuously without stopping.

The time he took each time began to increase as fatigue began to seep, but each time he got a little scratched by the trees.

He began to use his intelligence stat that increased his senses more wisely as he became more perceptive and noticed everything around him.

After 10 times, Adam's MP was reduced to 4 points and he felt his body become extremely sluggish and heavy as he continued to trudge up the mountain, not wanting to stop until he finished his task.

Not only had his MP reduced, but his HP had also dropped over 100 points from the trees slashing him all over his body.

However, it was not the slash itself that caused him to lose so much HP, but the blood loss it caused.

His clothes were torn into rags and drenched in blood and sweat as he continued to climb the mountain.

Adam's entire body was in pain from fatigue and injuries, but compared to what Adam experienced when he activated the Blood Burn and Blood Berserker extensions, it wasn't too much to deal with.

Ignoring the pain, Adam continued up and down the mountain as the previous sprint became running.

After climbing and descending the mountain 12 times, MP Adam had fallen to just one point, but he still had no intention of stopping.

Adam had decided not to look at his status which would only hinder his journey and would continue walking no matter his pain or fatigue.

His master who sat on the dojo and observed Adam was struck by Adam's insane will.

Adam's body screamed at him to stop as his body struggled to function and remain conscious.

But his desire was unwilling to retreat and he continued to stagger up the mountain.

Eventually, Adam's path became crawling because his body could no longer hold him.

But even at that condition he continued to walk and crawl towards the top of the mountain even with his body approaching its limit.

However, with his determination alone he was unable to continue and within a minute, Adam's body had collapsed and lost consciousness as he lay on the ground motionless.

Seeing him, the old man ran towards him and had reached him within seconds of standing on the dojo and carrying Adam's unconscious body easily, he brought Adam back to the dojo.

"This kid is crazy. His body had completely exhausted its External and Internal energy and had also been severely injured with heavy blood loss. He would have died out there if I hadn't met him and his bosses - his average recovery speed" the old man said to himself, startled by the insane disciple he had received

Adam who was now in his consciousness had an expression satisfied with how much he was able to push himself and was not too affected by the loss of HP and MP that he knew he could recover easily with a Skill Ethereum Recovery.

[The system could I enter the basement directly from my consciousness, even if my body was unconscious) asked Adam, who despite experiencing mental tension, wanted to continue training his body.

{Yes it is possible but when the host returns from the dungeon, you will experience a lot of pain and you are a coward, so I don't think you can handle it} replied the system.

Adam was not bothered by the system's words in the slightest, but still did not care about the pain to come and believed he could cope.

[The system took me to the basement] ordered Adam.

{Home master is being transported to the 2}th Floor announcing the system as he feels his soul being sucked out of his body.
