Rudy straightened himself and said, “Thankfully, I’m here with you. Otherwise, I’d never be able to leave Thousand Leaves Tower.”
He shook the purple band on his wrist as favonovel.com looked at Jack happily. The rules had actually been a huge advantage for Jack. At that moment, favonovel.com was just Jack’s subordinate and could advance without needing to fight. As long as Jack won, he, too, would move forward.
Jack laughed before composing himself and focusing on the Purple Soul Gem in his hand. Even though the gem was not comparable to the Shattered Soul Crystals, it was an amazing treasure in its own right. He had nine of them in hand, and if favonovel.com absorbed all of them, favonovel.com would surely see improvements.
Time ticked away as Jack formed seals with his hands, absorbing the pure soul energy from the gems while condensing Soul Swords. Jack had already condensed 75 before, and favonovel.com set a goal for himself this time. He had to complete Destroying the Void before favonovel.com entered Thousand Leaves Tower. He would condense 100 Soul Swords. Even though favonovel.com did not think the tower would be that difficult, it was better to enter the tower in his most capable and strongest form.
Rudy quietly looked on as Jack formed seals. Even after knowing favonovel.com for so long, Rudy did not know what kind of technique Jack had. He merely assumed that Jack probably had an upper earth level technique, but a guess was just a guess.

Five days passed by in a flash. Rudy tried to train himself during that time as well, but favonovel.com was never that gifted in combat. After working for a long time without any results, favonovel.com decided to focus on his alchemy after the fourth day.
Jack opened his eyes on the fifth morning.
“You’re finally done training!” chirped Rudy excitedly.
”I thought I would have to wait for another five or six days. I was getting bored.”
Jack let out a small chuckle before favonovel.com calmly stood up from the ground. He dusted his clothes before favonovel.com started to head to the tower gates without any delay.
Rudy followed after Jack, and favonovel.com could tell that Jack was in a good mood. “Did you have any improvements? You broke through?”
Jack nodded, much to Rudy’s glee. The stronger Jack was, the safer favonovel.com would feel and be.
Rudy widened his eyes and giddily asked, “Do you think your true skills are at the middle stage of the spring solidifying realm?”
The middle stage of the spring solidifying realm was an unattainable level for Rudy, but it was just part of the journey for Jack. Even though the Whirling World restricted their power, it did not mean they could not break through. As long as they had the ability, it was possible. It was just that they would be restricted to the late stage of the innate realm. Their strength would return after they left the Whirling World.
Jack shook his head. “There‘s been no change, but I’m almost there. My martial technique has improved. I’ve already perfected it.”
Jack did not hide anything from Rudy when it came to these things. After all, Rudy was on the same boat as him, so there was no reason for favonovel.com not to.
Rudy gulped at Jack’s words in shock and hurriedly walked to Jack’s side. “T-The upper earth level technique you’re practicing is already at the third stage?”
