As soon as he got closer to the seed, Kayden felt the weight of his member become a little heavier, his breathing became faster and his mind began to become cloudy. His only thought was to find a woman to procreate.
"Interesting," Kayden said, shaking off all the negative effects from his body. The first thing he noticed was that his main desire about the illusion was to procreate; he had no desire for sex itself and the pleasure of the act, it was just to multiply his species.
Kayden again looked for a good place to hide. There were still a few days left before the bubble opened again and he didn’t want to wait all that time. By an incredible coincidence, Kayden found the same cave he used to level up previously.
After applying the same strategy, he began to study the seed. The mana density in it was much higher than that of the second realm, but lower than that of the fourth. This meant that it must be a third-realm seed.
As soon as Kayden swallowed it, he... got an uncontrollable erection and almost lost his mind for a second. Quickly, he controlled his body and thoughts and began to absorb the huge amount of mana from the seed.
The process was excruciatingly slow as he had to constantly get rid of the effects of the seed on his body and at the same time stop the mana from leaking. What should only take a few hours was approaching a few days.
Kayden finally managed to cultivate all the mana in the seed after three days straight. His rank advanced a lot and reached around 70% of the fourth level. Kayden had a pretty high gain, but it was decreasing over time.
As soon as he finished, he went back to plundering the forest. Kayden no longer took any treasure that didn’t give him an immediate gain, it was simply a waste of time. Their focus was facing strong beasts and sometimes other humans.
Kayden lost track of time while cultivating and fighting like crazy. His days were summed up in endlessly fighting various beasts to the limit of his body and then cultivating and thinking about concepts. Since he didn’t need to sleep, his days were 100% spent.
Whether aquatic, land, or aerial beasts, they were all killed by Kayden at some point and had their meat removed for him to feed on. Kayden didn’t even look for the animal’s core, it was completely useless to him at this point.
Kayden was floating in the center of the forest and a few dozen people were around him. No one dared to approach him. His physique was damaged, with long hair and signs of a thin beard appearing, his torn and dirty clothes gave him a crazy look. But the main thing was his aggressive aura, which exuded violence at anyone who looked.
This aura was being exuded subconsciously after facing so many different beasts. Everyone was floating as they looked at a giant labyrinth that rose overnight and released a huge pulse of mana, drawing the attention of everyone in the bubble.
The walls of the labyrinth were made entirely of leaves and were a few tens of meters tall and several kilometers long. At the moment, only a few people entered, but none of them managed to return. Kayden was trying to study the maze and the possibilities. The animals came at high speed and just entered irrationally.
He would be in within an hour at most. He decided this because of the treasures that must have been inside. If it took too long, they would be completely looted and Kayden would only be left with useless remains.
"Kayden?" a familiar voice woke Kayden from his thoughts.
"He’s just a beggar, isn’t he, Kayden?" Kayden recognized the other voice too and when he turned around he found Anthony, Ashley, and Anabela. His surprise was that they had all reached the fourth level as well. Without a doubt, they had many benefits within the bubble.
"It’s me, I’ve just been in the forest for a long time," Kayden even felt awkward saying it. He hadn’t said anything in a long time.
"You’re kind of finished, but you’re still as strong as ever. Let’s fight," Ashley said as soon as Kayden identified himself.
"Another day."
"Why?"
"Just because."
"That doesn’t justify it."
"I’m busy now."
"You are stopped."
Ashley was as annoying as ever. Anthony greeted Kayden friendly and they exchanged some of their experiences over the past few months. According to Anthony, the college had sent several of its top-ranked students into the forest. At first, entry was free, but several students died inside, so it was only barred to those at the top of the rankings.
Anabela didn’t greet Kayden and just turned her nose away. It seemed that her latest defeat had hurt the pride of the girl who had always been at the top. In recent months, she has been working tirelessly to overcome Kayden, he was the first to destroy her while in the same realm.

"Do you know what this is?" Kayden asked and saw the three people shake their heads. "I’ll go in, we can form a group." Kayden knew the strength of the three and without a doubt, they would not be dead weight.
"Of course, an extra person is always welcome." Before they could say anything else, a group of ten people shouted at the maze’s entrance.
"My group is claiming ownership of this ruin, anyone who wants to enter needs to pay 1000 gold coins." His speech made most of the people around him angry, but in the group, the majority were in the eighth realm and two were in the ninth realm, it was a very strong force.
"I’m not going to pay this!" Anabela was the first to rebel in Kayden’s group. The boy was going to pay and avoid a senseless confrontation, but the arrogant girl went ahead and started shouting at them.
"I am the heiress of a grand duke, who are you to stop my passage?" His response was just some laughter and a middle finger from the group leader. They were dressed entirely in black and had no visible features, it was clear that they were outlaws.
This enraged Anabela, who unleashed dozens of generic fire spells against her opponents. Its strength was ridiculous for its level and it burned one of the party members to near death, while the rest managed to retreat and defend themselves.
