After nearly half a year in the barracks, his progress toward level 28 remained sluggish, and he wondered whether fighting others could break the bottleneck.

The army established a camp near the forest’s outer region while its Soul Masters planned deeper excursions, and Liu Feng continued treating soldiers as the operation pressed on.
