He didn't have a weapon and was facing monkey beasts that all were either of the same LVL as him or higher, but Adam wasn't scared in the slightest as he calmed his mind and circulated his Internal Energy to enhance his body even more than the External Energy already was.

Because of him having both Internal and External Energy, he could display power that surpassed that of his LVL and allowed him to face those at a higher cultivation level than him, but he wouldn't usually do so as it was very draining both physically and mentally to sustain.

Adam wanted to take down as many monkey beasts as he could in the close area around him, and knowing that they wouldn't respawn, he could recover his energy afterwards before facing the Boss Beast.

It would not only make it easier for him when he was facing the Boss Beast, but would also allow him to collect some gold, that he would be missing out on when skipping LVLs by defeating the Boss Beast.

Bursting up into the air, using all the momentum and explosive power that he had while using both his energy storages, Adam launched a powerful kick at the monkey beast that was closest to him and launched it crashing into a nearby tree.

But Adam didn't stop there and followed up on that attack as he dashed to where the monkey beast had fallen to the ground, and was struggling to move, then dealt it another powerful kick to the head with all his power.

After a few kicks to the head, he had killed the LVL 17 monkey beast, then he dashed away to make some distance between himself and the other monkey beasts that were rushing towards him.

Adam had found that kicks were more useful against the monkey beasts, that had similar body shapes and sizes to that of a human child, as it also allowed him to put more power and force into his attacks.

Using the same tactic that he had used previously to defeat monkey beasts, Adam attempted to split them up, then defeat them as quickly and swiftly as possible so that they didn't learn and adapt to the way that he fought.

Jumping up, Adam launched himself upwards off a tree, then grabbed a monkey beast that was swinging past and flung it down to the ground.

The monkey beast was damaged and dazed by the sudden attack, but Adam didn't stop there and followed through with his assault on the monkey beast as he fell feet first on top of the monkey beast and crushed its chest, leaving it dying on the floor.

It was becoming easier to defeat monkey beasts after battling against them so many times, and his increased strength and speed allowed him to accomplish supernatural feats that allowed him to come up with many new ways to swiftly defeat the monkey beasts, which they couldn't keep up with.

He didn't want to use his summons unless he had no other choice as he wanted to conserve his energy as much as possible and he continued defeating the monkey beasts.

With his nimble and lean body, Adam was also using the trees for his movement as he jumped from tree to tree and used them to launch himself forwards towards a monkey beast that he was targetting.

The monkey beasts had the same weaknesses on their body as humans, and with their lack of knowledge about everything, they didn't know to protect those places until after they had adapted from watching how Adam fought.

He would always aim for their head, neck or chest, which were the easiest areas that he could use to kill them quickly with using only a minimal amount of energy.

If he had a dagger he would have been able to defeat them much quicker and easier, but Adam was enjoying the exhilarating combat that he was in, as he practised his close combat fighting technique and skill against the numerous monkey beasts that he was facing at once.

{1% Mastery of hand to hand combat achieved} announced the system.

[I only just achieved 1% mastery now, what about all the other battles that I had and the training that I did with my master] exclaimed Adam who was both pleased and disappointed with the system's announcement.

{Hand to hand combat is a physical confrontation between two or more persons at very short range that does not involve the use of ranged weapons. Because of the wide and vague concept that it is, it includes all techniques and styles that one can use in hand to hand combat. which is why its mastery is more expensive and requires more training and practise} explained the system to Adam who was listening to the system while avoiding attacks from the monkey beasts that were still relentlessly attacking him.

It made sense to him and hand to hand combat included everything to do with close combat without weapons, which was a very wide and vague thing to master.

After defeating 30 monkey beasts, Adam hid behind a tree on the edge of stage 3 and began recovering his energy that had been massively used during his battle against them.

While he was recovering using the Ethereal Recovery Skill, he was still on high alert. He had defeated many beasts in the small area around where he was and he was planning to pick off as many of the monkey beasts as possible before heading for the Boss Beast.

After his previous training in the fundamental defence techniques, along with the breaks that he took to recover his energy using the Ethereal Recovery Skill, Adam had spent almost 24 hours within the dungeon.

Which meant he had 12 hours left in the dungeon before his Dungeon Form began to feel weaker and sluggish because of him being in the dungeon too long.

Adam had come this far and didn't want to turn back and lose all the progress that he had made on stage 3 and was planning to plough his way through Floor 2 before he left the dungeon.

After recovering all both his Energy Storages and the HP that he had lost, Adam was ready to continue to take out monkey beasts.

[System, when I am using both by External and Internal Energy to enhance my body, what is my speed and strength like] asked Adam who wanted to see exactly how strong he could become.

{Depending on the amount of energy the host uses at once, the host is capable of increasing your strength and speed by 2 points for every IESP used per minute. The host can currently only use 2 IESP at once to increase his strength, which will increase the host's strength and speed by 4 points} answered the system.

{However, the system wouldn't recommend this as a tactic that the host should use. With the host External Energy, depending on how much the host is exerting himself, the host's EESP is enough to sustain the host's strength and speed as long as they are on a similar level. As the host is both an Internal and External Cultivator, the host has double the amount of energy that one would expect from somebody at your cultivation level. But that doesn't mean the host can display double the strength, as the host's body can only directly use so much energy at once, and the system would recommend the host to use his energy types in ways that they flourish. Meaning the host should use EESP to sustain his physical power and use External Cultivation Techniques and Skills, while the host should only use IESP for summons and Internal Cultivation Techniques and Skills in order to conserve energy and use it efficiently} advised the system.

[Thanks for the advice] thanked Adam who could see that the system was right and changed the way that he planned to fight in the future.

If he was using 2 IESP every minute to increase his strength and speed by only 4 points, it would have been better for him to use one of his summons that were much more of an advantage that an increase in his stats by 4 points, and required the same amount of energy.

Continuing to use the same battle tactic as he did before, Adam instead of using his Internal Energy to increase his power slightly, had summoned his Leporidae Summon that was the most useful out of his summons in the current situation that he was in.

Both of them relied on their speed and superior combat prowess, which they had acquired through experiencing many battles, to defeat the monkey beasts quite easily, while sustaining minimal damage.

Launching the small white hare-like beast, like a ball, at a monkey beast that was swinging towards them, the Leporidae Summon slashed open its neck as the monkey beast fell to the ground and suffocated to death.

Adam and the Leporidae Summon were becoming very good at working together in battle and as it was the smallest and fastest summon that he had, that also had sharp claws, it was the beast that he was currently relying on the most.
