Two months passed.
Not wasted.
Not rushed.
Used.
Every moment.
Han Chandu stood in the forest.
Alone.
Calm.
The surroundings were the same—
Trees.
Silence.
Hidden danger.
But to him—
Everything had changed.
Because now—
Nothing here felt overwhelming.
Only measurable.
Only manageable.
…slightly annoying, at best.
A faint panel appeared.
[ Sanctuary Panel ]Status:
Evolution → Not Evolved
Life Span → 200 Years
Genes:
Ordinary → 100 / 100
Primitive → 100 / 100
Mutant → 100 / 100
Sacred → 100 / 100
Super → 100 / 100
The panel stayed.
Then disappeared.
No reaction.
Because honestly—
He had been expecting this for a while.
Another panel appeared.
[ Skill Panel ]Fitness:
Taijutsu → 49
Skills:
Jade Skin → 99 / 100
Dongxuan Sutra → 99 / 100
Falsified Sutra → 99 / 100
Still 99.
All of them.
Han Chandu stared at it for a moment.
"…seriously?"
Silence.
No response.
Of course.
Because panels don't explain things.
They just judge you silently.
He exhaled slowly.
So close.
One point.
Just one.
"…you could at least round it up," he muttered.
Still nothing.
Unhelpful.
Han Chandu closed his eyes briefly.
He could feel it.
The limit.
Right there.
Like a door—
Locked.
And the key was just… not working.
Annoying.
Very annoying.
A presence appeared.
A Super creature.
Massive.
Oppressive.
Angry for no reason.
It roared.
Han Chandu looked at it.
"…you again?"
The creature didn't answer.
Obviously.
It attacked.
Fast.
Violent.
Han Chandu moved.
One step.
Minimal.
The attack missed.
His hand moved.
A single strike.
Clean.
Precise.
The creature froze.
Then—
Collapsed.
Dead.
Silence.
Han Chandu looked down at it.
"…you could've stayed home."
No reply.
Expected.
A Super Life Geno Essence remained.
He picked it up.
Looked at it.
Then sighed slightly.
"…don't tell me you also give nothing."
Silence.
Still nothing.
Of course.
Because luck—
Was clearly not on his side.
He stored it.
Didn't bother eating it.
Because at this point—
It felt like collecting items in a game after reaching max level.
Useless.
But still picked up.
Habit.
The forest became quiet again.
Too quiet.
Han Chandu looked around.
"…so that's it?"
No attack.
No danger.
Nothing.
He stood there.
Waiting.
A few seconds passed.
Still nothing.
"…did I clear the map or something?"
Silence.
Very unhelpful silence.
He exhaled.
Because now—
It was obvious.
This place—
Had nothing left for him.
Except—
That one missing point.
Which was somehow harder than everything else.
Han Chandu looked deeper into the forest.
Toward the unknown.
Toward the next step.
"…fine," he said quietly.
"guess I'll go find something that actually matters."
He moved forward.
Calm.
Controlled.
But slightly annoyed.
Because after all that—
He was still stuck at 99
