Haa.
The absorption had finally slowed down.
It didn't stop, but the rate of absorption had reduced to more than half of its previous pace.
I could feel that my core had stopped expanding as well. Still, I couldn't rest.
I began using the mana to actively compress the core—again!
This time, the quantity of mana required was little compared to the monstrous amount required for the expansion.
Ugh… I felt a little uncomfortable while trying to compress such a large core.
Due to the unexpected expansion, I could feel that the size of my core had become almost five times its original size, and compressing it had become much more difficult.
The resistance from the core was massive. It felt like trying to compress a football tightly packed with air.
But I wasn't nervous.
Even average people with some talent could rank up from Iron to Bronze Core, so me failing in such an endeavour was amusing.
Though the difficulty of the task for me was greater, so was my talent.
