After reaching the Ninth Order, Lu Li began to feel that his attributes were becoming noticeably harder to raise.
His attributes had risen quickly before because he had squeezed every last bit of potential from his Bloodline and absorbed an excessive amount of black matter from the Jet-Black Demon God.
