BXBX NOVEL Chapter 69 - Cycle
Adam summoned his Pythonidae Summon, his Canidae Summon and his Goblin Summon.
The cost of summoning his summons had increased to two points, but now that his Internal Energy and External Energy had been separated, it only used his Internal Energy and wouldn\'t use his External Energy.

Looking at the status of all the beasts that he summoned, leaving out the Leporidae Summon that he felt was more useful for assassination or in colder environments, Adam had a satisfied expression.
"21 points of IESP left, I will be able to sustain the 3 beasts for a few minutes if I want to expend my IESP, but unlike before, I don\'t have to worry about being weakened as I will still have my EESP that is now separate from my IESP" mumbled Adam to himself with a pleased expression.
He was happy with his decision and now felt as though he was more capable and could fight for longer periods of time.
"All of you spread out and defeat beasts of the same LVL or lower, 1 on 1, and make sure not to suffer any damage. If you think you are outmatched or are against more than or beast, you should retreat" ordered Adam to his 3 summons.
Adam was confident in their ability after seeing their statuses, that when compared to ordinary beasts in the dungeon were superior.
After receiving their orders, the beast all rushed away from their master, around the outer areas of the dungeon, while Adam also searched for a beast to hunt.
Adam was very perceptive and adaptable. and he would also learn from his mistakes and experiences, making it now quite easy for him to defeat the Wood Python beasts.
With two E+ Rank Scale Vambraces equipped on either arm, that each increased his resistance by 2 points and his strength by a single point, along with the E Rank Wolf Sabre he had equipped that also increased his HP, Resistance and strength by a single point, Adam felt confident in his strength.
1 stat point is equivalent to 10 HP and 1 point for every other stat.
He had to battle without using his IESP so that he could sustain his summons for longer periods of time, and had to rely on his physical strength and EESP.
He came across a Wood Pyhton soon after and Adam weirdly found that his attacks were more accurate and swift as he continued to strike the python with his sabre, not allowing it to get close to him.
It took Adam less than a minute to defeat the beast that gave him a few EXP, while he was also receiving EXP from all the beasts that his summons were able to defeat
The only thing that Adam could think of that might have increased his precision would be the fight he had against his master, but it wasn\'t really a fight, and he wasn\'t even able to land a single strike.
But little did he know his attacks were continuously improving while he relentlessly attacked his master, and he never realised because, despite their improvement, his master was still able to easily avoid all his strikes.
Adam defeated 3 beasts, while all his summons had collectively defeated 8 beasts without suffering any injuries, within the few minutes that he could sustain the summons for.
As soon as his IESP fell to 0, Adam felt all his beast summons return to his beastpedia as he also felt extremely drained and as though his Internal Energy Storage was empty.
But unlike when he had the MP stat, he was still able to function and still had most of his EESP to battle with.
Adam continued hunting until he had expended a large amount of EESP, then he stopped to use his Ethereal Recovery Skill to recover both his EESP and IESP and relax his mind.
Adam was beginning to learn how to control and resist his Bloodlust characteristic, but he would allow his desire to kill to be mostly free in the dungeon, as long as he still had control of his body.
But what he noticed was that the joy and satisfaction of killing humans in reality was much higher than killing a beast in the dungeon, that he had continuously done for a long time.
It took him almost 3 hours to completely recover, but Adam enjoyed the soothing and calming feeling that the Ethereal Recovery Skill gave him, and used it for 3 hours and a half to relax his mind and body.
Adam had never had much time to rest and after working multiple jobs and living a poor quality of life, for almost 3 years, to pay his aunt\'s medical bills, Adam had always been through the struggle.
Now with an opportunity to change his life for the better and to improve the level of his existence, Adam was always willing to put in the work and bear the pain to reap the rewards of his efforts.
Adam repeated the cycle of releasing his summons to hunt, while he also hunted, then stopped after expending both his IESP and EESP.
The damage to his HP that he would experience in the battles on the outer area of Floor 2 was minimal and he was now on a level where he could defeat Wood Pythons with ease.
[After reaching LVL 13 I will move on to the next stage] decided Adam, knowing that the maximum LVL of Wood Pythons that he came across was LVL 13.
Without wasting any time, Adam continued the cycle of continuously hunting with his summons and only stopping to recover with his Ethereal Recovery Skill.
