Chapter 828: A Punch Explodes the Body
Several hours later, he had absorbed less than a third of the top-grade Spirit Stone, yet Ye Luo’s strength had not increased in the slightest, showing no change at all.
"What’s going on?"
Seeing that he was about to completely absorb a top-grade Spirit Stone, but the strength in his body hadn’t changed at all, Ye Luo was somewhat bewildered.
"Master, because you now possess the Nine Yang Holy Body, the strength in your body has transformed into Nine Yang Energy; therefore, if you want to increase your power, you need to absorb an amount of strength that is dozens of times more than other people," Xiao Ling explained.
"Does that mean while others need to absorb ten top-grade Spirit Stones to achieve a breakthrough, I need to absorb a hundred top-grade Spirit Stones to do the same?"
Ye Luo couldn’t help saying.
Hearing Xiao Ling’s affirmative answer, Ye Luo suddenly had a rather fucked-up thought.
He had accepted that it was like this in the Innate Realm, but he hadn’t expected that even after breaking through the Nine Meridians to advance to the Saint Realm, his cultivation would still be this difficult. To advance a single realm, he had to put in ten times the effort others did—it was seriously fucked-up.
However, Ye Luo also knew that although he had to put in more effort than others, his strength would be greater as a result. The more one invests, the greater the return; to be stronger than others, one must put in more effort!
Ye Luo took this to heart and decided not to dwell on these matters any further.
Just then, Ye Luo’s cellphone suddenly rang.
When Ye Luo answered, he was surprised to find that it was Situ Luoyun calling.
