Three months later.
Ji Yun leaped out of the Nutrient Pod.
"Peak Planetary Level Nine. I'm only one step away from breaking through to Star Level!"
Ji Yun excitedly swung his arms.
From Planetary Level One to Planetary Level Nine had taken him only about three years in total. But Ji Yun understood that this was merely a matter of accumulating energy, and accumulating energy was always easy.
"I've never truly broken through a bottleneck on my own. I relied on Wood Bud Crystals to get from the apprentice level to Planetary Level. This time, I'll have to break through from Planetary Level Nine to Star Level through real tempering."
A Martial Artist's body absorbed energy, and what mattered wasn't just how much energy was available for absorption. More important was how much the body itself could absorb. Without trials that pushed them to the brink of life and death, the rate of energy absorption became extremely slow. A long period of comfort could even reduce it.
Ji Yun had been comfortable for almost three years.
Ever since breaking through to Planetary Level, Ji Yun had never truly felt the threat of death.
Between life and death lay great terror! Between life and death lay boundless motivation.
It was like the involuntary reflex that made someone squeeze their eyes shut when a needle jabbed toward them! When faced with mortal danger, every cell in the body would struggle by reflex, and even its genetic material would evolve faster! The terror of life and death drove both body and soul to a peak state of evolution that could not be reached through human effort. In that state, people found it easier to gain insights, evolve, and grow stronger.
Ji Yun understood this clearly.
No matter what, fighting in the Virtual Universe
