Chapter 4745

Adrian said firmly, "I have no use for this. Even if I absorbed it, it wouldn't significantly improve my strength. You should absorb it instead—it might help you break through to a higher stage." Tyler hesitated, realizing Adrian wasn't joking. Refusing now would be an act of disrespect. "Thank you, Sir Adrian. If that's the case, I will accept it," Tyler said, taking the core. "Good. Absorb it now. I'll stand guard," Adrian instructed as he sat beside Tyler. The group was momentarily stunned by Adrian's decisiveness. Tyler quickly sat cross-legged and began refining the beast core. Beast cores were highly beneficial for warriors, nourishing the body and enhancing levels. Those at lower stages often relied on such cores to advance. Adrian closed his eyes and rested. Meanwhile, the others surveyed their surroundings curiously. For most of them, this was their first—and likely last—time in such a secret realm. Entering one without sufficient strength often meant certain death.
