Year 1035 of the Zhang Dynasty - Outlands of Heavenly Phoenix City - Northeast wall
On the way here I decided to gift my horse at one farm.
[I hope he lives a long live]
(Me too)
Where I am going is too dangerous for him.
[Now, how are we going through this?]
In front of me there was a wall of twenty meters height with guards on top and arrays to the inner side to maintain the spiritual creatures outside.
(By Earth Manipulation)
[...it was a silly question]
...
Once out of sight of the guards, I dig a hole of a radius of one meter diagonally in front of me with Earth Manipulation and walk in. Just to be sure of not being caught, I dig 40 meters deep and plan to come out 500 meters far from the walls.
After digging for a while, we reached the another side.
[How far is that forest?]
(About 40 km)
[Time to test your stamina then]
(What?)
[Run]

I reach The Northern Forest after a relaxing run, luckily I didn't find anything nor anyone on the way.
[40 points in 40 km, very good]
(Aren't I going to fight right now?)
[Your style of fighting doesn't need stamina, so it is fine]
(...)
[Lets find something to fight, okay?]
Here I go, full strength...
“Life Detection“
[5 MP CONSUMED]
With my 1 km radius of reach, I cover almost half of the forest and I discover some bronze rank spiritual creatures to hunt.
...
In front of me there is a gray two meters boar-like creature.

“whiiig“
And instantly it charges towards me.
[Plan A, do it as we planned and everything is going to be fine]
Wait.
“Whiiiiiigh“
Wait.
“Whiiiii...“
Now, two meters!
The Earth Manipulation already active under my pant connects me with the earth, so I don't need to speak.
(Earth Embrace!)
[Earth Embrace!]
The soil grabs the boar legs almost immediately and spreads on the body.
The maximum range of Earth Manipulation is three meters, my body needs to be connected to what I want to control and it is stronger the closer of my body it is.
[Finish it]
I walk closer to the boar and touch it.
“Goodbye“
I bury it three meters below me.
[SPIRITUAL BOAR DEFEATED, MIND EXPERIENCE OBTAINED]
[Next time bury it before getting closer]
The plan was simple, I wait until the foe is in two meters range and then use my hidden already active Earth Manipulation to bury it on the ground. This way even if I cant break its defenses I may have a chance of sealing it.
[Now plan B]
The plan B was to go on to the offensive without caring about MP usage.
I went to another boar and this time is my turn, the earth below me embrace my body and then...
(Earth Knight)
[Earth Knight]
[450 MP CONSUMED]

It takes the shape of an medieval full plate armor of another world made with compressed soil to protect my body and boost it.
“Whig?“
I crush the boar's head with my strengthened fist and my increased speed before it can even start his charging.
[SPIRITUAL BOAR DEFEATED, MIND EXPERIENCE OBTAINED]
(Cancel Earth Manipulation)
I cancel the Earth Knight and activate the Under clothes Earth Reinforce.
“Earth Manipulation“
Without the mana of Earth Manipulation the armor is just a dead weight.
The Plan B is strong but only last two minutes in the best case.
(Lets save this for strong foes)
[All right, plan C]
I use Earth Manipulation and dig diagonally the faster I can while covering my trail.
[Good]
Plan C is basically run away.
(Lets continue use plan A until the sunset, do you agree?)
[I agree]
...
After making a simple bunker in the ground with Earth Manipulation, I ask Maria.
(I killed four bronze ranked spiritual creatures today, why I didn't gain a level?)
[You will only level up while sleeping, so good night]
If that is the case then...
(Good night Maria)
