Chapter 29: Advancing to Foundation Realm!
Throb...
"What is this feeling?" Leo mumbled in a low voice, as a strange feeling of excitement began to appear deep within him. After seconds of confusion, a sudden feeling of seemingly enlightenment arises from his mind.
Perfect time... Perfect place and... Rich Spirituality!?
"Don\'t tell me...
"I see, I seem to understand."
Leo silently thought, never expecting the opportunity to gain a semi-physical body would come from the child next door. Although he had no idea what the child was currently doing, the feeling of dept silently sprouted inside him.
Without wasting enough time, afraid that the perfect time, place, and rich spiritual vanish, Leo quickly opened the skill.
Ding!

...
"Quickly, Activate!"
Swish... Swish.
As soon as Leo activated the skill, dark ominous smoke quickly surged from the void as it frighteningly enveloped his soul body tightly.
Making a ball of dark smoke float through the air, giving a sense of mysteriousness and dread...
Leo who was inside the dreadful smoke felt his soul\'s body begin to freeze along with his thinking capability and consciousness.
Cold... So cold.
Leo slowly thought before his consciousness began to fade into the darkness. Only the churning ball of smoke, constricting his soul body is present.
At the same time when Leo fell deep asleep. In the next door, the child and the cartoonish white cat were currently surrounded by gentle white light. Their mind is buzzing around as their life order is advancing by one grade.
Although the child\'s eyes are closed, his mind is extremely active as he is currently looking at the notification that appears in front of him.
[ Advancing to Foundation-Level 1... Please calm your mind and use your unique technique to advance successfully! ]
Ding!

Note: Permanent Arts are immortal. If the being created by art dies, the host could revive them by paying a significant amount of price. ]
"Dragon, wake up..." The child mumbled in a childish voice as he took out an old folded paper from his backpack. It\'s unknown how long the paper existed but with its current condition, it might be destroyed if he put a little force to it.
"I just drew this dragon earlier yet the paper already looked old..."
Feeling that the time was right, the child unfolded the paper as he activated his permanent art toward it.
Permanent Art... Arise!
In an instant, after activating the skills, the vitality from the surrounding area quickly surged toward the old paper on the ground.
With green thick light that flooded towards it, the old paper began to float as it consumed greedily the rich vitality entering towards it.
Although it greedily consumed the rich vitality, some of it still leaked out from the old paper, silently entering the room next door.
Swish...
Swish...
At the same time, as the vitality converges in their location, zombies kilometers away from them suddenly raise their heads in unison.
Sniffing the air greedily, the zombie\'s eyes lit up as they quickly gazed toward the location where the vitality converged. With a groan of madness, the zombies quickly rushed toward the origin of the anomaly...
...
At the same time, when the zombies show drastic action.
3 Kilometers away from the child and Leo\'s location, a robust man holding a heavy shield along with his group raised their brow in unison as they felt a slight change in the air.
"This!? Advancing toward Foundation level?" A woman holding a green staff asked confusedly as she waved her hand, instantly summoning a sharp blade made of air, hacking the level 16 zombie in the distance into two.
"It\'s not a zombie nor monster that was advancing... It is a human!" The robust man\'s eyes lit up before knocking the foundation-level zombie in front of him with his heavy shield.
Although the person advancing is quite far from them, based on the surging energy from the surroundings, the robust man could easily guess that the one advancing is a human... On top of that it should be a talented human!
Usually, if the one advancing is a zombie, instead of vitality the thing he/she would attract is undead energy and dead aura! On the other hand, if it was a monster who was advancing, the energy he would attract would be demonic energy, monster energy, and demonic aura!
While human attracts unique energy based on their technique!
Some foundations humans attract the 5 elements while others attract unique elements!
"Quick, we need to find the advancing human and bring him to the town! Based on the energy, he/she should have a rare class job at least!"
Without wasting enough time, the group used their skill toward the foundation-level zombie in front of them without holding back.
Bang!
Swish!
Clang!
In an instant dozens of skills and weapons bombard the foundation zombie\'s body, overwhelming it with skills.
Soon, after less than a minute of bombardment, the zombie\'s body and flesh lifelessly fell to the ground... Battered by overwhelming skills...
"Quick, let\'s go!" Without looking back the group quickly moves toward the location of the converging vitality.
