Inheritance? Scheme?

Inheritance? Scheme? The main reason was not that Lu Shan's rate of strengthening himself had slowed down.

Rather, after Fourth Order, the gap between those of the same rank grew increasingly vast. If the distance from Third Order to Peak Third Order were compared to a journey, it would be roughly a thousand kilometers. Lu Sang had raced to the peak in just a few years at a rate of over a hundred kilometers per year.

But the distance from Fourth Order to Fourth-Order Peak might be a hundred thousand kilometers, or even more. Even if he ran at over a hundred kilometers a year, he would need decades, perhaps a century.

Even now, Lu Sang had yet to reach the peak of this world, yet his combat power was no weaker than that of those at the world's peak. And that was only his own strength.

The reason for this was that, compared to ordinary Fourth-Order beings, his physical strength was simply too powerful.

According to Mage World classifications, an ordinary Fourth-Order being generally possessed base strength of around three thousand to five thousand degrees. Then, with the power of laws, they broke through the upper limit of ten thousand and stepped into Fourth Order.

After reaching Fourth Order, degrees were basically no longer used to measure one's strength. Degrees themselves were a variable unit, merely a preliminary measurement. After Fourth Order, strength was more often reflected through actual combat and one's comprehension of laws.

Laws would slowly strengthen one's base strength. The more laws one grasped, the faster one's base strength would grow. Combined with the formidable amplification of numerous laws, one's strength would increase far faster than merely raising one's base strength.

Thus, after Fourth Order, everyone focused their attention on comprehending laws.

But Lu Shan walked
