It was like trying to fill a lake with an eyedropper.
I needed stronger prey. Mid-Transcendent minimum, ideally high-Transcendent or Commander-rank if I wanted actual advancement rather than imperceptible incremental gains.
The 1st Key of Endra suddenly became much more relevant to my near-term plans. A dimensional hunting ground filled with mid-tier and high-tier Transcendent beasts, plus Commander-rank specimens, was exactly what I needed for efficient soul power accumulation.
But first—survival and rescue took priority over personal advancement.
I turned back to the terrified students who'd been watching the brief slaughter with expressions mixing awe, fear, and profound relief.
