"Use the Willpower Tempering Card!"

Li Jing used his consciousness to crush a Willpower Tempering Card that he had drawn from the card warehouse.

Then, deep within his sea of consciousness, a hazy, Chaos millstone quietly emerged.

The center of the millstone erupted with a powerful gravitational force, like a black hole, dragging Li Jing's entire soul, along with his will, consciousness, and Spiritual Force, into the millstone.

As wisps of Chaos airflow flowed into the millstone, propelling it to slowly rotate, Li Jing suddenly felt a surge of intense pain.

This is far superior to the cellular-level recombination that occurred during previous bloodline level upgrades.

Even though it wasn't the first time Li Jing had experienced the pain of willpower training, it was still somewhat unbearable.

As Li Jing's willpower base continues to improve, and as the card pool level increases...

The pain associated with Willpower Tempering Card increases daily during the process.

The pain Li Jing endured during this process was not lessened by the countless trials of will he had previously faced.

The pain will still occur, and it may even worsen.

A mind as clear as a mirror, as sharp as a knife!

Under this level of torment, Li Jing's muscles trembled all over his body.

Wisps of blood mist burst from the pores of the skin, making the scene in the training room exceptionally bloody and horrifying.

He gritted his teeth and kept using his mental state to strengthen his will in order to fight against this pain that went deep into his soul.

One breath, two breaths...

A quarter of an hour, a quarter of an hour----

It took Li Jing an unknown amount of time to recover from this extreme pain.

"This test of willpower is finally over!"

He lay on the floor of the training room, panting heavily.

Manipulating his Spiritual Force, he annihilated the blood mist he had exploded into, along with the bloodstains formed from his sweat.

A flicker of lingering fear crossed Li Jing's eyes.

The Willpower Tempering Card are simply beyond the endurance of ordinary people.

The trials Luo Feng faced in the final stage of recognizing his master in the Star Tower were probably similar to this kind of suffering.

However, the good thing about the Willpower Tempering Card is that even if you can't endure the pain, it will only reduce the effectiveness of this particular training session.

Jia will not truly die from a broken soul because of this.

In fact, if the training process weren't so painful, requiring one to endure it solely through sheer willpower...

I doubt the Willpower Tempering Card would be this effective.

This allowed Li Jing to possess Immortal Level being who had been granted the Marquis, even when he was only at the Universe Level.

They even managed to break through the seventeenth island in the Illusion Sea.

In the original story, although Hong crossed twenty islands in the Illusion Sea in one go, it was mostly due to his ability to encompass everything, which was achieved through his cultivation at the third level of mental state.

The level of true willpower is far from reaching that of the twentieth island in the Illusion Sea.

It may only be the beginning of Immortal.

Although he went further in the Illusion Sea, his willpower level was not as high as Li Jing's, who had cleared fewer levels in the Illusion Sea.

There's no way around it; the First Stage of Mental State, like a mirror, sharp and focused like a knife.

When faced with this kind of Consciousness Pressure- based assessment, having no choice but to tough it out is quite disadvantageous.

"Continue! System, continue using the Willpower Tempering Card!"

After resting for a while, and until my body and soul had temporarily forgotten the almost unbearable pain I had just experienced.

Without delay, Li Jing immediately used the Willpower Tempering Card.

There is no danger whatsoever; one only needs to endure the pain to enhance their willpower with the help of the Card Draw System.

Who else gets such good treatment?

Who among them didn't seize that sliver of hope in dire straits during countless life-or-death trials?

Only then is there a slight chance of a breakthrough.

With cheat codes already in place, if you can't even endure this much pain, how can you claim to surpass Luo Feng, the future Hunyuan Lord?

Just do it!

Train until you drop dead, train like there's no tomorrow!

After the pain of my soul being shattered and pieced back together time and time again.

Li Jing finally used up all the Willpower Tempering Card he had obtained from this round of card draws.

My willpower has improved considerably, but I've suffered a lot in the process.

Even with the last few Temperance Card, the soul was extremely exhausted from enduring too much pain in a short period of time, almost causing it to collapse and drastically reducing the training effect.

Fortunately, he endured it all thanks to his incredible patience.

"I need to rest for a while to relieve the fatigue in my soul, and then continue to Willpower Tempering Card."

Li Jing lay on the ground and silently prayed to himself. Then, unable to control his exhaustion any longer, he fell into a deep sleep.

What kind of terrifying consciousness does Domain Lord Level powerhouse possess?

It is at least comparable to ordinary Intelligent Life, with a computation speed of billions per second.

Li Jing's foundation far surpasses that of ordinary Domain Lord Level powerhouses, as does his capacity to withstand mental strain.

Even so, he couldn't control his exhaustion and fell asleep right there on the floor of the training room.

The pain of the Willpower Tempering Card is truly unbearable for most people!

In other words, Li Jing had experienced this since the Planetary Level, and he was able to tough it out.

Of course, the first layer of mental fortitude honed through suffering also greatly helped Li Jing.

After Li Jing fell asleep, a cartoon Capybara floated out of the smart Optical Computer on his wrist.

Looking at Li Jing was sleeping on the floor of the training room in a completely unseemly manner, with a touch of heartache.

The auxiliary robot in the training room was connected to transfer Li Jing to the Nutrient Pod inside the training room.

The Nutrient Solution in the Nutrient Pod can effectively relieve the fatigue brought on by cultivation, both physical and mental.

The effect of hibernation inside is several times better than natural sleep, and it is one of the free benefits enjoyed by Primal Secret Region Member.

Such benefits are countless in the Primal Secret Region, which explains why no one who enters Primal Secret Region ever thinks of leaving.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

An ordinary person can accept their mundane life with a clear conscience.

However, if he falls from the ranks of the wealthy, the psychological impact will be so great that he simply cannot accept it.

Some people with poor mental fortitude may even choose to end their own lives.

Time passed quietly, and inside the specially designed Nutrient Pod, a figure quietly immersed himself.

Suddenly, the figure's eyelids twitched slightly, and then the eyes opened.

Wasn't I sleeping on the floor before? How did I end up here? It must have been Xiao Ka who did it.

"Xiao Ka, how long have I been asleep?"

"Master, your slumber lasted a total of three days and seventeen hours."

The cartoon character Capybara appeared in Li Jing's line of sight through the virtual screen on the Nutrient Pod, reporting earnestly to his supervisor.

I only slept for a little over three days, which is not bad!

Li Jing nodded, opened the hatch of the Nutrient Pod, and floated out.

The linings, battle clothes, and armor that were casually scattered in the training room all automatically returned to his body.

The gacha pulls can't stop, but as for other arrangements, we'll have to think about them carefully!
