It felt like yesterday, but it was already 2 weeks in the Gundam Shelter.
During this time, Rex and his 2 companions also laid low as they had a lot of things that they intended to put in place and master.
After all their adventures mostly in the Great Forest of Elias, they acquired a lot of things that they needed to give time to thoroughly master first before they could move forward.
Whereas Aragorn acquired new craftsmanship techniques, Princess Elanor got her complete gift inheritance and was adapting to a new region, while Rex acquired new skills including a master-level skill.
To fight at his full strength without his transformed beasts, he needed to properly master his new skills and integrate them into his fighting style.
After all the system missions that he accomplished and all the mystic energy limits that he was rewarded with, he was already close to the 10th tier of the Intermediate mystic realm to match up with Aragorn and Princess Elanor.
In these 2 weeks, he took the last step that was remaining for him to get to the peak of the Intermediate mystic realm and he received a system mission.
-------
[You have triggered a Level up mission: Advanced Mystic Realm!]
[Mission Details: Kill an Advanced Mystic Warrior alone without any help.]
[Mission Reward: Successful grade level up.]
…
[Mission Completed!]
[You have been rewarded with a successful grade level up.]
[Congratulations! You are now an Advanced Mystic Warrior!]
[You have unlocked Zone Aura!]
[You have unlocked Soul Perception!]

For the 2nd time in his life, Rex experienced the satisfying feeling of his strength ballooning like a rocket that was about to exceed escape velocity.
It always felt nice to get stronger but grade level ups brought this feeling to an even higher level, Rex wanted to experience this feeling forever.
After his level up, like usual, all his stats experienced an increase again and this time the increase was even more ridiculous.
Once Princess Elanor and Aragorn heard of his successful level up, they were shocked. Aragorn felt shocked the most as he met Rex when he was still just a newbie Intermediate mystic warrior with barely any noticeable strength.
"Holy freak!" He was astonished by this growth speed.
It was natural to feel envious, but Aragorn felt even better that his sworn brother was slowly achieving his dreams.
He remembered when he first met Rex, Rex was almost unapproachable then after he just left home. After all the traumas of his family and his town, he always felt like an outcast but this started disappearing as their brotherhood grew.
Rex already made a decision to disassociate himself from his loved ones due to the terrible dangers that lurked behind his back and destiny, but with Aragorn, he slowly learned to trust a brother and to do things together.
In just these few weeks to months that they had spent together, they had impacted each other so positively that they changed a lot without knowing it.
Aragorn took Rex\'s level up as motivation as he worked harder on setting up his workshop. As for Princess Elanor, she took it as a challenge as for the next few days, she put in an absolute bonkers level of work rate on her training.
Her training paid off also, having lingered at the peak of the Intermediate mystic realm for a few months, she also finally leveled up to the Advanced realm.
Now with 2 weeks having passed, 2 of them were Advanced Mystic Warriors while Aragorn fulfilled his dream of erecting his ultimate workshop.
Overall, things were moving in the right direction during their first 2 weeks in the dangerous Gundam Shelter.
In the 2 weeks, after leveling up, Rex mostly focused on training his swordsmanship as this was also a vital aspect of his strength as a mystic warrior.
After another session of training with his cultivation techniques, Rex sat down in his room as he finally decided to check his system status again.

----------
"Tsk!" Rex ticked his tongue after going through his new system status. "The system is right; I\'m really living the dream already".
He still remembered vividly when he had to lament his inability to use mystic energy, now in less than a year, he was already an Advanced mystic warrior.
"Damn, life is so unpredictable".
The attribute that surprised him the most in his new status was his health points which were more than one of his transformed beasts, this was possible because of the massive advantages that he got from his Vampire bloodline.
Apart from the health points, in literally every other stat, his 2 transformed beasts dwarfed him. This was natural for beasts to have higher stats than humans.
Beasts enjoyed the greatest boost from mystic energy since they were the original carrier of this energy. Humans made up for this deficiency with their better control over mystic energy which they channel through their skills and techniques.
For the first time since he knew the truth about his family, Rex no longer felt so insecure, he felt confident for the first time.
He clenched his fist. "Bring it on!"
