Adam's mind was full of thoughts and knowledge that he had gathered and come across ever since he had integrated with the system and been enlightened to cultivation.

From his training and increased Mastery of the fundamental defence techniques, Adam had finally reached a conclusion about how the system represented External Cultivators and Internal Cultivators and their differences in terms of stats.

[External Cultivators have the Resistance and EESP stats that are unique to them, while Internal Cultivators have the Intelligence and IESP stats that are unique to them. Internal Cultivators can increase their resistance using their IESP through techniques, which is an advantage that they have, but External Cultivators increase their resistance as they cultivate and can increase it even more through techniques. Internal Cultivators can use their Internal Energy outside their body, which allows them to use ranged attacks using energy, however, External Cultivators cannot. Both cultivator types can increase their Speed and Strength using their energy, however, External Cultivators always have External Energy circulated throughout their body, while Internal Cultivators have to circulate their Internal Energy themselves in order to have Strength and Speed that was equivalent to their rank.

So the Strength and Speed stat are measures of the strength and speed that a cultivator can display using the cultivation and energy that they have and because I have a unique constitution, it applies differently to me and I have the benefits of both an Internal and an External Cultivator.

Without Internal Energy being circulated to enhance their bodies, they would be only slightly above average compared to an ordinary human in terms of physical power. Both types of cultivators had similar HP, which represented their vitality, their recovery speed and the total amount of damage they could take, along with the special stats: Wisdom, Charisma and Luck. Special stats are not increased by cultivation and require special circumstances to be increased and most of the time are decided from birth] summarised Adam to himself who after training in techniques from both cultivation types had finally completely understood the differences between them.

[However beasts within the dungeon don't fit into that summary and they are unique and seem to be made and programmed by the system] added Adam to himself as he was yet to relieve his curiosity.

Beasts within the dungeon, that he had come across so far, had both the Resistance and Intelligence stat, which showed that they had characteristics of both an Internal and External Cultivator, however, they didn't have Luck, Charisma or Wisdom stats and they also didn't have IESP or EESP.

Adam could understand why they didn't have Luck, Charisma or Wisdom stats as they didn't have free will and were programmed to have hostility towards Adam, however, the beasts not having IESP and or EESP puzzled Adam and it didn't make sense to him.

{There are many things that the system cannot inform the host about the dungeon and other things that the host is not yet ready to know about. However, I can inform you that beasts in the dungeon have unlimited energy and do not have a specific amount of IESP or EESP. That doesn't mean that they can use abilities that surpass their LVL and they still have capped ability, but they will never run out of stamina} stated the system.

[I appreciate the information] thanked Adam who was pleased with the system's new attitude, however, he was also slightly wary of that advantage that the beasts had over him.

After he had cleared his mind and gathered his thoughts, Adam was pleased with the amount that he knew, but he knew there was still much more to explore and find out. However for the time being he was satisfied as he set off towards the centre of the rainforest, after he had recovered using the Ethereal Recovery Skill, ready to complete the floor.

[System can I activate more than one E+ Rank Monkey Fur Coat at once] asked Adam who wanted to confirm whether his plan to increase his strength was possible.

{Yes it is possible for the host to do, but it will overwhelm the host's body, that cannot handle that much energy and power that is above the host's LVL, and the system would not recommend the host to do so in reality} advised the system.

Knowing that it was only a Dungeon Form, Adam wasn't too worried about the backlash, but remembering how painful the backlash to his soul and spirit was when he used the Bloodlust Characteristic's extensions, he knew he had to be careful.

He also knew how close the Dungeon Form was to his actual body and he wasn't completely sure of what exactly it was. Until he had a clear understanding of exactly how the system worked and everything about the Dungeon that it provided him to hunt in, Adam had to be careful.

He knew that by jumping levels by defeating the Boss Beast and moving straight to the next Floor, he was missing out on gold that he could have earnt by hunting until he reached LVL 20, but he felt that increasing his strength currently was more important.

Adam knew that the gold that he missed by skipping levels through defeating the Boss Beast, which would only give him the missing EXP and system points equivalent to that much EXP, could be easily earnt in the future as he increased his strength and got to higher floors, and he was more focused on increasing his strength currently.

With the distrust and cautiousness that he had towards Elizabeth and especially her scheming and intelligent subordinate Jaspar, Adam knew that only with unsurpassable power could he truly be comfortable and relaxed.

He had already come across the Maxwell Family that had a monopoly over Brooklyn and were the most powerful family in Brooklyn, and had seen how they owned almost everything, and felt that it was a looming threat that was coming ever closer.

He was unsure what their cultivation level was like, but he was sure it was at least at the level of an Advanced Cultivator, which was the realm above the current Novice / Mortal Realm that he was in.

He was only close to rank 2, which is close to LVL 20, but there were still 9 more ranks in the Novice Realm and he had to surpass LVL 100 to become an Advanced Cultivator. That was a long way away and he didn't know how long it would take him to reach that level, but until then, he had to diligently work towards it and try to avoid any unwanted attention.

On his way towards the centre, Adam picked off any monkey beasts that he came across quite easily and he was curious and interested to see exactly how the centre of the Floor was lay out and what kind of Boss Beast he was going to face.

He also needed to make sure not to lose consciousness in the battle against the Boss Beast like he did on Floor 1, otherwise, he won't be able to acquire the amazing Boss Beast's race that would be very valuable to him.

If he used all 5 of his summons along with the two defensive techniques, he would run out of IESP within 2 minutes, but he would still have almost all his EESP.

However, Adam knew how weak and sluggish he felt when any of his energy storages were depleted and he wasn't sure whether using all his power at once for a short amount of time would be the right tactic against his opponent.

[I will see what exactly I am up against, then I will decide how to deal with it] decided Adam.

As he got closer and closer to the centre of the rainforest, there were more and more monkey beasts that were also increasing in strength.

Adam attempted to avoid them or defeat them using as minimal energy as possible, but there were so many of them it was becoming harder to do so.

[It was exactly as I thought, this Floor is just like Floor 0 and there is a civilisation of beasts in the centre and the Boss Beast is probably some type of powerful Primate Beast] gathered Adam.

[System do these beasts respawn after they are defeated] asked Adam.

{Once the host enters Stage 3, which also has the Boss Beast at the end, the beasts that the host defeats won't respawn while the host is in the dungeon. However, if the host leaves then returns, the beasts will respawn in the same way that the host's Dungeon Form would have recovered} answered the system.

With that in mind, he knew that he had to storm into the beasts' base in order for them not to respawn, as if he continued hunting in Stage 2, there would be an endless number of monkey beasts.

However, unlike on Floor 0, he didn't have 3 lives and he couldn't be as reckless as he was at that time. But Adam had increased his strength massively since then and was much better at fighting and hunting as he dashed past any monkey beasts that came after him and entered stage 3.

Stage 3 of Floor 2 had a 2 km radius from the centre and was filled with monkey beasts that were all LVL 16 or above. The beast base was just a large group of monkey beasts in the centre that had created homes and walls, while in the centre he could see a large structure made out of wood where he assumed he would find the Boss Beast.

[I need to pick off as many of these monkey beasts as I can as they will be a nuisance while I face the Boss Beast, then I will try to find an empty place to recover before battling against the Boss Beast] planned Adam who felt adrenaline coursing through his veins as monkey beasts swung towards him.
