What a plain ascension.
And the cost this time was rather strange.
During the ascension, Ye Qiyan clearly sensed that this drop of blood did not need mental energy. Instead, it needed the ascension power condensed from the stamina he had been using all along.
And it needed so little.
One hundred points of stamina.
