"Gasp... so many people?"
Mo Shiyu muttered under her breath, feeling immense pressure.
She felt less like she was here to help her Contract Spirit break through and more like she was putting on a public performance for everyone to see.
Xia Yuan, however, did not care in the slightest. Or rather, he had long since grown accustomed to being the center of attention.
Ignoring the countless eyes fixed on him, he guided the golden flying vessel straight down to the center of the breakthrough platform.
"Begin, Chubby Yu."
Xia Yuan rose gracefully from his throne and stepped into the circular breakthrough zone, which was covered in complex runes and constructed from special energy crystals.
Mo Shiyu took a deep breath, tried her best to ignore the surrounding stares, and walked to the control hub at the edge of the platform. She opened the Contract Spirit space containing the breakthrough materials.
The breakthrough platform activated instantly!
Countless runes lit up, forming an enormous pillar of energy that enveloped Xia Yuan.
On the breakthrough platform, all kinds of materials were rapidly broken down and purified into power, then surged into Xia Yuan's body like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea!
BOOM!!!
Almost the instant the energy began pouring in, an unimaginably terrifying pressure—far beyond anyone's expectations—erupted from Xia Yuan's body!
Like a primordial beast that had slept for hundreds of millions of years awakening, it suddenly burst forth!
Crack!
Crack!
The incomparably sturdy energy-crystal floor of the breakthrough platform began to fracture inch by inch around Xia Yuan!
The energy pillar surrounding him twisted and shook violently, letting out an overwhelmed hum!
No one had expected such a breakthrough spectacle, and everyone was utterly stunned.
The entire venue erupted into an uproar!
"What the hell? The breakthrough platform is cracking?!"
