After leaving the seclusion chamber, the two walked side by side along the quiet path outside the Sea God Pavilion. The gentle night breeze brushed past them, dispersing the scorching heat around Tang Wulin and easing Gu Yue's taut heartstrings a little.
Gu Yue turned to look at Tang Wulin's profile, which was slightly weary yet still resolute. After a moment's hesitation, she finally asked softly, "Linlin, I wanted to ask—how many times can you usually use that... Great Dharma of His Transformation and Freedom? Does it have any limitations?"
Tang Wulin paused, clearly not expecting Gu Yue to bring this up so suddenly. He stopped walking and considered it carefully before answering slowly, "It does have limitations. Although this divine ability is incredibly powerful, and can even briefly simulate power approaching god level, the strain on my mind and blood vitality is terrifying. As things stand, I can probably only use it once a day. That's a hard limit, I suppose. If I force myself to use it a second time, my body might collapse before the enemy does."
After listening, Gu Yue nodded thoughtfully, a glimmer of rational analysis passing through her purple eyes. "Once a day... that is a limitation, but it isn't really a fatal weakness.
