As Yuan absorbed more and more of the liquid, he sensed his cultivation reaching its utmost limit. However, just as it seemed poised to break through, it encountered an abrupt halt, as if something were obstructing its progress.
<You have absorbed enough Qi for a breakthrough>
<You have failed to breakthrough>
<You have absorbed enough Qi for a breakthrough>
<You have failed to breakthrough>
The notifications continued spamming for several minutes until it became silent, almost as if it knew that it was doing something pointless.
However, while Yuan couldn't break past Spirit King, since he was continuously absorbing the Golden Celestial Tree's liquid, all of the spiritual energy he absorbed had to go somewhere.
Within Yuan's Dantian, there was a ceaseless attempt to break through and expand, akin to a human futilely trying to kick down an indestructible or unopenable door. When the Dantian failed to achieve a breakthrough, all the accumulated spiritual energy would be expelled from it, redirecting to further temper Yuan's body.
In a weird twist of fate, his inability to achieve a breakthrough was quite the fortuitous event for his current situation, enabling him to expedite the tempering of his body more rapidly than if he were simultaneously enhancing both his cultivation and physique.
'What a terrifying rate of progression! He's definitely not human!' Princess Meiya swallowed nervously, witnessing Yuan's physique undergo a staggering transformation.
At the rate Yuan was absorbing the Golden Celestial Tree's liquid, he would, without doubt, finish absorbing all of its power within the two-day limit.
'His body isn't just a bottomless pit—it's a limitless black hole that devours anything it touches!'
Twenty-four hours passed in the blink of an eye. Out of curiosity and boredom, Huang Xiao Li went to watch Yuan temper his body with Princess Meiya, who had been staring at Yuan without blinking even once throughout this entire time.
"How's it going?" Huang Xiao Li asked Princess Meiya.
However, there was no response from Princess Meiya.
Huang Xiao Li turned to look at her.
"A-Are you okay?" Huang Xiao Li was startled when she saw Princess Meiya's expression, who looked like she was being haunted by a ghost.
Princess Meiya eventually snapped out of her daze to wipe the sweat forming on her forehead.
"He's truly a monster. It's only been 24 hours, and he's already absorbed 75 percent of the treasure," she said.
"What?! I thought you said…"
"I know what I said, but to be frank, he's not human. I've never witnessed any human, giant, beast, or entity for that matter, possess such monstrous talents," admitted Princess Meiya.
"I knew he was special, but I didn't expect for it to be to such a degree."
"Do you think he'll defeat his next opponent?" Huang Xiao Li asked.
"I don't know what will happen." Princess Meiya shook her head.
"Eh? Even after giving him such praises?"
"I'm not saying that he will lose. I simply don't know what to expect, as this is my first time seeing someone temper their body using so much Golden Celestial Tree's liquid."
After a moment of silence, without providing any further explanation, Princess Meiya turned around, soared toward the door, and swiftly exited the room. freewebnσvel.cѳm
