"Finally, we can rest!"
Tong Zhou let out a sigh of relief. After walking all day, the physical exhaustion was manageable, but the mental fatigue was truly wearing him down.
After all, they had to watch out for dangers that could appear at any moment while remaining wary of the Temptation from the Lost Land. They had been on edge nearly every second. Even transcendents could not endure that kind of torment for long!
Still, though only one day had passed, Tong Zhou realized that his mental strength had improved considerably.
"Is it because I've been resisting the Temptation the whole time?"
Tong Zhou felt a flicker of delight. Compared with increasing one's total transcendent energy, strengthening one's mental power was far more difficult. Yet after reaching Longevity, every advancement required a transcendent to communicate with Mansus. In the Great Dream, transcendents without sufficiently strong mental power often found it difficult to perform well.
His mental power was already fairly strong, but the greater it became, the more his resistance and affinity toward the transcendent would increase. His "will" in the Great Dream would also become firmer. No transcendent would refuse such a good thing as stronger mental power.
He could feel the transcendent energy within him circulating faster and faster. His total transcendent energy had clearly increased since entering, and after only a single day, even his mental power had grown stronger. If he could stay in the Lost Land a little longer and venture deeper...
Smack!
A palm struck Tong Zhou across the forehead, making him jolt violently.
"What the hell?!"
The burly boy sprang up from the ground and stared blankly at his companion.
"What? Why don't you ask yourself? The moment we mentioned resting, did you drop your guard? Your eyes were already unfocused." Qiu Hou
