The first stage?
Looking at the level displayed on the system interface, a trace of surprise flashed through Duan Mu's eyes.
He had originally thought that reaching the first stage would require 900,000 proficiency in Spiritual Pressure. He had not expected that merely breaking through to 900,000 proficiency in physical constitution would already place him in the first stage according to the system's rating.
Moreover, the instant his physical constitution reached 900,000, Duan Mu could clearly feel an inexplicable change taking place in his body. More precisely, it should have been...
Reorganization!
Duan Mu could clearly feel his body rapidly reorganizing, with earth-shaking changes occurring within him.
And this reorganization did not happen just once. Each time it occurred, Duan Mu could feel his body rapidly growing stronger.
In silence, Duan Mu lowered his head and looked at his body. He slowly raised his right hand and gradually clenched it, a sense of power erupting from within him.
It was a very special sensation, one he had never experienced before.
It was not merely the simple, overwhelming strength he had possessed in the past. It seemed to contain some kind of rule he did not quite understand, a rule that felt innate. It even gave Duan Mu the illusion that he could destroy everything with a single punch.
So...
Acting entirely on instinct, Duan Mu swung his clenched fist toward Aizen, who was dozens of meters away.
No sound rang out, nor did any shockwave run rampant.
The punch looked utterly ordinary, but at the instant it reached its limit, Aizen, who was dozens of meters away from Duan Mu, underwent a violent change of expression for the first time!
The faint smile on his face faded, and the pupil-shaped crystal between Aizen's brows lit up.
Almost simultaneously.
Rumble—!
