It was a little after four in the afternoon. The sky was a spotless, brilliant blue, and the sun was still bright, but the peak heat of the day had passed.
Beneath a large, leafy tree in a strip of greenery, two small stray cats—one black and one white—lay on the grass, dozing with their eyes closed.

As they refined this absorbed Spiritual Energy, the Spiritual Energy waves they emitted gradually grew stronger.
Although their unconscious cultivation wasn't very efficient, if they kept this up, judging by the progress they were making just by absorbing ambient Spiritual Energy, breaking through to the First Rank Initial Stage was only a matter of time.
"PAT, PAT, PAT..."
The sound of footsteps emerged from the stairwell of Building #3 in the distance.
