  I put away my sword and look at the kiwi trees ahead of me. There is barely a distance of eight to nine steps between me and the tree, which normally takes me a few seconds to cross if walking, but now I will have to work hard to reach there.

  If I am not wrong, then I would need the strength of the Nine Star Golden Elite to reach there, but I am not a Nine Star Golden Elite, I am an Eight Star Golden Elite which is far from sufficient.

  I looked at the Emerald Kiwi Tree for a few seconds before the turn to Ashlyn, who is sleeping in the shadow of the Kiwi Tree. When I was walking step by step, she was eating the Kiwis, and before long, she finished eating all the Emerald Kiwis, which were on the tree.

  She did not leave anything behind. If she had left any Emerald Kiwis behind, I would make the potion out of them, which would have easily granted me the strength of the Nine Star Golden Elite, with that strength I would have easily able to pluck the fruits off the tree.

  But now I have to do it myself, even if there are hundreds of Emerald Kiwi trees here, one could only pluck fruit from only one tree, so Ashlyn could not provide me any Kiwi Trees even if there are hundreds of them around.

  If I want the Emerald Kiwis then, I would have to get them with my strength, and since this is the only option I have, I will do it, but it will be difficult, very difficult.

  Taking one last look at the Emerald Kiwi Tree, I walked back and stopped when I was in front of the Yellow Thorn Peach tree. This spot had Gravity and Energy pressure that only Three Star Golden Elite could bear, and I will start my training from here.

  I only have two days, and I have to increase my strength by One Star which is extremely hard, could even be said impossible.

  As I have already made huge progress through my methods and seeing how difficult they have become practice now, it would take weeks, even a month before I could make any big breakthrough through them.

  There is no help from the methods, as, for the Potions, they could give me a boost of One Star, but I would not use them. It will fill my body with so many impurities that it will make my progress very slow unless I clean them out quickly, which will be very difficult.

  But all the hope had not lost yet, there is a way, and that way is this Garden. If it had been outside, I would have given up, but here it is possible.

  The Suppressive Energy present in the Garden is overbearing and felt like death scythe as it made even breathing difficult, but this energy is also very nutritious as well. I had seen its Miraculous properties when I was here, as it had helped me increase by quite much last time.

  But it is not easy to digest that energy, I have practiced Body Cleansing Exercise to the max to suck this suppressive energy into my body. Most of this energy would be passed through my body, but a fraction of it will remain and increase my strength.

  Every session will give me a tiny increase; I have to keep getting this tiny increase through every session until my strength reaches the Nine Star Golden Elite.

  As for how much increase I will be getting, well that will depend upon how high I could go in Body Cleansing Technique, How much Suppressive Energy passed through me, and how long the session lasts, all these factors will determine how much increase in strength I get from each session.

  I undressed to my underwear and took the Crystalline Death Pill AKA piece of the monster core that has the power to blast me apart.

  I took it out of my storage and popped it into my mouth before I could have a second thought about and started performing Body Cleansing Technique.

  This is very foolish things to do, especially here, under such high Gravity and intense Energy Pressure. This is one of the dumbest things I’ve done, if I was not able to call out Nero, then I will die by blasting myself into pieces.

  But I have no choice but to do this as only this way I could be able to increase my strength by one One Star within two days, if there is no pressure of death them it might even a take a week for me gain such at my speed, but I don’t have that much time, so I chose the dumbest way I know.

  I am feeling intense Gravity and Energy pressure, that my body started to sweat heavily just after performing ten poses of 1st move. The things are looking quite grim for me, but things out of my control right now.

  The only thing I could right now perform. If I do not then I will burst into pieces and die which I, of course, did not want to happen, so I keep performing but it seemed like my speed of performing is quite slow despite my trying hardest as my flesh started to split apart and my blood started to come out of it.

  Seeing blood is coming out of every corner of my body, I shudder uncontrollably, but I swiftly concentrate on practice and begin to perform at an even faster speed as through the blood, I’ve seen the shadow of death. If I did not do something in a few minutes, then I would die in a few minutes.

  Seeing death so close, the hidden potential of my body seemed to rise as I started to perform faster and faster. I performed exercise at speed like never before, and I am doing that in the intense gravity.

  As I practice, all my other thoughts have seemed to vanish, and the only thought I have in my mind is practice. I had seemed to have reached some kind of mad state, which is why even when my body started to bloat and smoke started to come out, I did not notice.

  I had only come to myself when I Nero came out and started to eat the medicinal energy.

  The pressure on me had not lessened a bit as more and more medicinal energies kept coming inside my body, but the good thing is Nero eating these energies and the speed of Nero’s eating is greater than new medicinal energies coming to my body.

  As long as I continue performing, Nero will be able to eat all the medicinal energies, so I just have to continue performing, and everything would be fine.

  Hun!

  Despite feeling drained, I continued performing, as I was doing that I noticed a thing which made me instantly ecstatic. The suppressive that is flowing in and out of my body, not only leaving crumbs in my body but it is also leaving some crumbs in Nero.

  This is not right, it is Nero that is sucking off this energy, and as it does, the mutation of his continues to advance. Though the speed of advancing is very slow, I am making progress and that is enough for me, at least for the 1st session.

  Thud!

  Finally, after god knows how much time later, I fell on the ground completely exhausted, so exhausted that I did not have energy even to blink.
