Although these are normal occurrences for Xu Xing, he still needs to consider the needs of others.

Xu Xing himself had thought that it might be better to go out on his own, at least that way the efficiency would be much higher.

However, being alone would greatly increase the risk, which is absolutely unacceptable for Xu Xing, who has been given a second chance at life.

On the table, most of the food had been eaten by Ye Kai and Xu Xing, with the dog finishing off the last bit of food scraps.

Luckily, no one else was around, otherwise the dog would have been absolutely envious.

Having eaten and drunk my fill, my body is now at its peak condition.

Xu Xingcai then began handing over the crystal cores he needed to them.

Bai Ling's portion can be fed directly to her. The dog had already eaten its fill, and since mutated beasts aren't afraid of direct absorption, it's fine.

Xu Xing first used the level one crystal core to successfully break through to the late stage of level one. With the remaining energy, he continued to climb forward and finally took out the crystal core of the mutated rat king.

Without the slightest hesitation, he began to absorb it, and the crystal core shrank at a visible speed until it finally disappeared.

With his previous accumulation, Xu Xing finally reached the peak of the second level, just one step away from becoming a third-level ability user.

But Xu Xing knew that this final step was not so easy to break through. If it was just the accumulation of energy from the early stage of the second level to the peak of the second level, it would be difficult.

The leap from level two to level three represents a qualitative breakthrough, and factors such as talent, luck, and external interference all influence this breakthrough.

This can also be seen from Bai Ling's performance.

Xu Xing gave Bai Ling the highest level of crystal cores, but even with so many crystal cores, Bai Ling was still unable to break through that shackle.

This clearly shows that the hurdle of Level 3 is not so easy to overcome.

The other two progressed very smoothly. Since it was just a matter of accumulating energy, they both successfully entered the mid-stage of level two, and were only a hair's breadth away from the late stage of level two.

Judging from this, Su Xixi's talent is actually greater than Ye Kai's, after all, Ye Kai also absorbed a level two crystal core.

This level two peak strength brought Xu Xing a greater sense of security than before.

Looking at the watch on his wrist, Xu Xing realized that two hours had passed without him noticing, and it was now 3:00 PM.

If Xu Xing doesn't want to spend the night here, it seems he needs to speed things up.
