Chapter 347: Eighty-Second Floor, Waiting Room (3)
[13 hours 14 minutes until the rest period ends. Please take a rest.]
If I were to describe Celestial Mountain Blossom’s effects after consuming it, I would say it was thoroughly satisfying.
In truth, even that felt like an understatement. During combat training, I went up against opponents who specialized in illusion magic, and not a single one even managed to scratch me. It was as if their mental attacks had simply ceased to register—I felt entirely unaffected.
I had been a little worried that taking the elixir would impact my development, but it turned out to be a non-issue.
Its power had naturally blended into my divinity, merging seamlessly. Rather than dulling my growth, it now protected me with quiet constancy.
At this point, most beings wouldn’t be able to affect me with a mental attack, unless they were apostles of the highest caliber or gods themselves.
Honestly, this alone is remarkable.
The idea that a single elixir could grant such formidable resistance was nothing short of extraordinary.
Additionally, something else happened, something that was perhaps even more surprising.
Doppy now could wield sword energy freely, a clear precursor to becoming a swordmaster.
According to Ryun’s—and my own—assessment, he wasn’t far off from reaching that milestone. Considering how little he had actually fought in recent trials, his growth was nothing short of astounding.
His persistence had paid off.
