The Martial Unity

Half a year passed before the Elder Tree was finally done.

It is truly a shame that the non-esoteric sciences of this world are not on par with those of Earth.

Rui didn't respond.

I have completed learning everything from your end of the deal. Now, I am willing to fulfill my end of the deal.

His eyes opened.

He sat cross-legged in his quarters, having been immersed in his thoughts. He glanced around at the room he was in.

He was in his room in the Quarrier Orphanage.

This was at his request, courtesy of the Elder Tree.

It was comforting, but it also made him feel homesick. The Beast Domain was not a pleasant place. He truly looked forward to the day that he could return to the Kandrian Empire.

Unfortunately, he had many tribulations and hurdles to overcome before that was the case.

One of them was already ready, waiting for him.

"Fuuuuu…" He exhaled deeply.

In the past half year, he had thoroughly integrated the Garden of Salvation into his Mind Palace, massively increasing the area of the entire mental location and creating countless brand-new storage locations.

Additionally, he had also subjected himself to extremely strenuous mental training.

The Angel of Laplace.

It was the most mentally strenuous technique that he had ever created in his entire life. Trying to keep up with it was like trying to stop a tsunami with one's own body. It was extremely difficult. He had subjected himself to it day in and day out for the past six months, bombarding his mind with a flood of data.

It paid off.

His tolerance had increased significantly. Things that would have completely overwhelmed him before were now not just barely manageable. The mind was a muscle. While it did not undergo hypertrophy as other muscles did, it did become stronger the more one trained and exercised it.
