General Duo Lai seemed to be quite far from raising his basic attributes to their limits.
Normally, the gap between Fourth Order Peak and Fourth Order Limit was not very large.
However, at this stage, powerhouses could no longer strengthen themselves by absorbing Soul Sand soul power. To continue climbing from there, they could only train day after day and consume various rare treasures.
It consumed both effort and wealth.
