Charlotte returned to the embassy and fell asleep the moment he hit the bed. When he woke, it was already dusk the next day. He ordered something to eat and moved around a little. Seeing how late it was and that there was nothing to do, he returned to his room and cultivated Bloody Glory.
He had been cultivating diligently without pause lately, and the six extraordinary techniques he had mastered—Angel's Thorn, Blood Kindred True Word Technique, Blood Flame Qi, Spirit Spider Technique, Insight, and Agility Technique—had all improved to varying degrees.
Charlotte had always thought Angel's Thorn would be the first to break through, with Blood Flame Qi also having a strong chance. Yet as he cultivated until nearly dawn, the Bloody Rune of Agility Technique trembled slightly and split off another rune. This extraordinary technique had actually broken through.

Charlotte left his room. The sky was only beginning to brighten, and no one was around. He leaped with all his strength, reaching a full eight or nine meters—one or two meters higher than when he had first condensed the Agility Technique rune.
