Grim returned to the shack, sat in a corner, and started cultivating. However, his cultivation came to a stop when his fellow disciples started making noise.
"It was very unrealistic of me to expect peace in this shack."
He got up the next morning and went to the mission hall.
Grim picked up one of the hunting missions again and passed the mission scroll to the receptionist.
"It's a pack of wolves this time. Are you sure you want to take on this mission? They like to stick together unlike the wild boars you hunted."
"Yes, I would like this mission." Grim nodded.
"Fine. Just be careful. Your mission time is 15 days." The receptionist returned the mission scroll.
Grim left with the mission scroll and headed to the forest.
Now that he was alone, he could cultivate in peace. He made efficient use of the time he had.
He would hunt the monsters during the day and find a safe place to cultivate at night.
Grim repeated the same schedule until he arrived at the destination on the 4th day. He had managed to accumulate 500 Evo.
Grim used 'distort' to sneak near the wolves. However, he didn't use 'storm' this time.
"Thew" He multiplied his strength by 30 times and grabbed the wolf nearest to him and snapped its neck like uncooked spaghetti.

Arghh!
"My body can't handle the full force of 'thew' right now." He canceled his skill.
The wolves had realized what had happened. They were furious that someone had managed to sneak and kill one of their brethren. They surrounded him.
"Dash" He ran toward the nearest wolf.
"Thew" Grim multiplied his strength by 15 times this time.
"My body can handle this much without any problem, and 20 times should be my limit."
He tore the closest wolf and ran toward the other.
He was able to deal with all of them easily.
"Ten fangs should be enough for the mission" He tore out the fangs from the wolves and disposed of the body quickly.
Grim was able to make 400 Evo. He still had 11 more days before the mission's deadline. So, he decided to utilize the rest of the time accumulating points and cultivating.
On the tenth day, he was hunting as usual. Suddenly, he heard a loud bang close to him.
"Distort" He decided to investigate. Grim was able to reach the place in 10 minutes.
There were ten students surrounding a lion. He was able to identify them easily because they had the same uniform as him.
He observed all of them. But, his eyes stuck on the boy in the middle. He had a handsome face and a noble aura surrounding him.
Suddenly, he saw the boy facing his direction. Grim was panic-stricken.
"What's wrong senior brother Chang?" One of the disciples asked.
"I feel like someone is watching me." He tried to observe his surrounding. But, he could see no one.
"You must be overthinking senior brother. There is no one else except us and the beast."
"Maybe you are right." The boy focused his attention back on the lion again.
While they were talking Grim decided to back out slowly.
"He almost saw through me. He is stronger than me in my previous life." He was alarmed.
"He must be at mid-level of the archon realm and the other nine must be at the entry-level. Since they had to surround it to deal with it, it must be at the peak of the archon realm."
"However, it's none of my business."
"'Don't stick your nose in other people's business' and you will live long."
He decided to make a swift departure and return.
