The third World Constraint had finally been successfully passed. Streams of energy rushed out of the depths of time-space, flowing into Wang Chong's mind and body. In a short time, he felt that both his physical and mental strength had received a considerable boost.
”I finally passed through this World Constraint!” Wang Chong delightedly said to himself.
The World Constraint and its rejective power were like a time bomb. If one made a small mistake, people would die. It was only now that he had finally managed to overcome it.
Getting up from the ground, Wang Chong began to warm up his body. Crackclack! His body creaked and cracked as a powerful energy began to exude from within.
This energy broke through the Origin Energy realm, climbing to the True Martial realm Tier 1, Tier 2, and finally Tier 3.
Twenty-some days of cultivation, the pills sent over by Six-Fingered Zhang, and the repayment for passing through the third World Constraint had finally allowed Wang Chong to reach Tier 3 of the True Martial realm.
”…With another two tiers, I'll be at True Martial Tier 5. At that point, I can finally upgrade the Halo of Dusk Stallion to the second layer!”
Wang Chong's eyes shone as he inwardly rejoiced.
The strongest aspect of the Halo of Dusk Stallion was not in the boost in strength it provided, but its strategic value on the battlefield.
At the second layer of the Halo of Dusk Stallion, as long as a soldier was standing in the effective radius of the halo, they would receive a constant buff that promoted them to Tier 2 of the True Martial realm, upgrading their strength, speed, and dexterity to this level.
This sort of comprehensive buff was almost absurd!
As he slowly withdrew his energy, Wang Chong exhaled. His thoughts quickly reached out to the Stone of Destiny in his mind.
The longer he spent in this world, the harsher the backlash from the World Constraint became. Wang Chong had already gotten used to this.
But when he had been resisting the power of the World Constraint this time, Wang Chong had realized that the Stone of Destiny had suddenly changed a little!
”The time interval was extended to nine months, but the Destiny Energy needed didn't scale proportionally. This means that in the future, the rejective power of the world will irregularly and rapidly increase. This also means that I will need more and more Destiny Energy!”
Wang Chong lowered his head, his eyes glimmering. Wang Chong had very quickly noticed another thing that had changed with the World Constraint.
Although 60 points of Destiny Energy was a lot, the nine months of buffer was probably enough. What Wang Chong was more concerned about was the last point:
”Every time I successfully pass a World Constraint, my Gold Organs and Flood Dragon Bone will be strengthened. And they will be strengthened in direct proportion to the number of World Constraints!”
This message had never appeared before.
He didn't care much about other things, but the Gold Organs and Flood Dragon Bone were both extremely important to Wang Chong. It was basically impossible to upgrade the former and arduously difficult to upgrade the latter.
The Flood Dragon Bone was a type of Dragon Bone, the lowest grade.
When a warrior cultivated to this level, even the most talented would find getting any further incredibly difficult. When one had a root bone on the level of a Dragon Bone, the difficulty in upgrading it would increase by several times, even ten-some times with each level.
Even Wang Chong, with the memories from two lives, didn't have any good methods of changing this. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been stopped at the Saint Martial realm in his last life without any further ability to improve.
If he could improve his Flood Dragon Bone just by safely passing the rejection and constraint of the world, this would undoubtedly be a surprising harvest.
”…Perhaps I can use this to reach a level I never reached in my last life!”
At this moment, Wang Chong had to admit that he was tempted.
There were challenges, but there were also rewards, and the greater the risk, the better the return. This seemed to be a hidden rule of this mysterious Stone of Destiny.
Of course, if he failed, there was probably a harsh penalty waiting for him!
Whoosh!
His deep thoughts were suddenly disturbed by a flapping sound from overhead. Looking up, Wang Chong saw a snow-white falcon in the snowstorm, its wings tearing through the snow as it descended.
”It's Old Eagle!”
Wang Chong quickly extended an arm.
Old Eagle assuredly knew that he was cultivating here and would never disturb him unless something important needed his attention.
Receiving the snow falcon, he untied the letter from its leg. As soon he saw its contents, his heart sank.
”He wants to go. I can't keep him…!”
After giving a long sigh, Wang Chong leapt down from the mountain. Using the Phantom Steps, he transformed into a blur. As he rushed down the mountainside, he left only a few shallow footprints in his wake.
As his martial arts improved, so did his Phantom Steps. Although he still hadn't reached a level where he could leave no footprints on the snow, casual observation made them seem like the tracks of a rabbit.
Swoosh. After moving several dozen zhang, Wang Chong jumped onto a tree. As snow rustled down from the trees, Wang Chong made several flying leaps and quickly vanished into the distance.
When Wang Chong returned to the mountain where Deflecting Blade Manor was located, the place was cloaked in brilliant snow and was absolutely silent. Other than the twenty guards, there was a tiny number of students.
It was winter, so Deflecting Blade Manor was much more deserted than usual.
Wang Chong passed through the main gate, and the sandalwood stairs creaked as he returning to his own building. With a glance, he was able to notice the two-meter-tall figure standing by his door. That tall and sturdy figure was pacing back and forth, apparently having waited a long time with many worries on his mind.
