Of course, Wei He was only saying that. In reality, both times he had reinforced himself, he had chosen defense.
With the Mount Sumeru Whale King formed through the fusion and mutation of the Spider Turtle bloodline, choosing anything but defense would have been a complete waste.
It had left him not even knowing how strong his defense had become.
He already had enough strength. Even if his divine power proved insufficient, he still had gravity and True Force.
The key now was to improve his margin for error, lest an overly swift opponent simply ignore his strength and poke several holes in him.
Then he would be finished.
So what Wei He lacked most now was speed and defense.
Unable to find a way to improve his speed in the short term, he chose to raise his defense first. Staying alive was what mattered.
Undercover in Great Yue all by himself, even he sorely lacked a sense of security.
"Great strength is good. Mount Sumeru Whale King—just hearing the name tells you it must be incredibly strong." Xue Huo murmured enviously.
"By the way, what realm are you in now? Can you tell me?" she suddenly asked.
Among martial artists, especially True Blood martial artists, one's martial realm was not the key factor in determining strength.
It merely represented how deeply one had excavated and developed one's bloodline.
"Still at Bone Forging, but I'll break through soon," Wei He answered simply.
It had to be said that his talent in True Blood cultivation was truly monstrous.
Even without the Boundary-Breaking Pearl, he could shoot upward like a rocket.
But once he reached Organ Refining, he would slow down completely, because everything beyond that in True Blood cultivation was a major threshold.
It was not something one could break through
