Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Wang Teng had to halt, slowly moving his spiritual power toward the runic sphere.

This runic sphere was like a peerless beauty lying there, tempting yet unapproachable, leaving an itch in the heart.

Wang Teng sensed that this runic sphere was definitely not ordinary.

It might be the core of the Spiritual Hollow Mountain’s runes

Otherwise, why hadn’t it appeared earlier? Instead, it emerged in this central location.

“Oh!” The president uttered a soft exclamation, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Not far away, Ruler Lyas also widened his eyes, focusing his gaze on Wang Teng.

“What happened?” The god-stage presence on the Flame Throne asked in confusion.

“That kid has stopped at the core of the Spiritual Hollow Mountain,” the Dean explained.

“The core of the Spiritual Hollow Mountain!” There was a sharp glint in the eyes of the two god-stage martial warriors. Suddenly, they became intrigued.

“Why did Wang Teng stop again?” Among the crowd below, people like Tong En expressed bewilderment.

They initially thought Wang Teng was about to catch up, but unexpectedly, he stopped at a crucial moment.

Ockham frowned. He couldn’t quite comprehend Wang Teng’s actions. It didn’t seem like he had reached his limit. Instead, it looked like he was observing something.

What was this kid up to?

Many onlookers revealed expressions of astonishment. With the diminishing number of participants on the Spiritual Hollow Mountain, Wang Teng naturally drew more attention. Everyone was now watching him closely, especially when he suddenly stopped climbing at this critical juncture.

As everyone was exerting their final bits of strength to climb to the summit, Wang Teng suddenly came to a halt, leaving everyone astonished.

Time passed on the Spiritual Hollow Mountain. Wang Teng spent half a day painstakingly probing the location of the runic sphere with his spiritual power.

The closer he got, the more he realized the runic sphere was surprisingly large, not as small and delicate as it appeared from a distance.

He took a deep breath and, without hesitation, used his spiritual power to probe the runic sphere right in front of him.

Boom!

A thunderous roar echoed, more intense than the previous encounter with the runes. This time, the reaction was violent.

Wang Teng’s spiritual power was instantly repelled, causing a shockwave in his mind and leaving his complexion pale.

F**k!

He couldn’t help but curse, attempting to cover his head, but both of his hands were firmly clinging to the rock wall, making it impossible to move.

It was so uncomfortable!

The shock just now directly targeted his spiritual body, nearly shaking his soul out of its confines.

He didn’t expect the protective mechanism of the runic sphere to be so strong!

Wang Teng immediately mobilized his spiritual power, circulating it a few times to soothe the pain in his mind before looking back toward the direction of the runic sphere.

Several attribute bubbles were floating there!

“Thank goodness! Thank goodness!” Wang Teng felt fortunate. He didn’t endure that brutal impact for nothing.

He carefully controlled his spiritual power and secretly stretched his evil hand toward the attribute bubbles.

“Spiritual Hollow Mountain!” A sharp glint appeared in Wang Teng’s eyes. He had picked up the runes of the Spiritual Hollow Mountain.

In an instant, a peculiar scene unfolded in his mind, where countless runes converged to form a majestic mountain.

At the center of this mountain was a spherical formation made entirely of runes.

This was the Spiritual Hollow Mountain!

Evidently, this was the construction method of the Spiritual Hollow Mountain!

Unfortunately, the runes on it were extremely complex and numerous. Up to this point, Wang Teng had only managed to grasp a portion of them.

Spiritual Hollow Mountain: 500/10000 (foundation)

Wang Teng slowly opened his eyes, and it seemed as if the phantom image of a mountain appeared in them.

This was a restrictive mountain, not only serving as a testing ground but also capable of being used to… crush people!

Yes, crush people!

For some reason, upon obtaining the insights of the Spiritual Hollow Mountain, Wang Teng’s first thought was to use it to crush people.

According to the description of these insights, Wang Teng knew that the Spiritual Hollow Mountain could not only be used to construct weapons but also could transform into a form of spiritual attack.

However, the latter was more challenging, akin to constructing a spiritual maze.

The more intricate the spiritual maze, the more spiritual power it would consume.

And with countless runes on the Spiritual Hollow Mountain, constructing them all would undoubtedly require an incredibly terrifying amount of spiritual power.

Wang Teng didn’t think too much. The construction of the Spiritual Hollow Mountain was a huge surprise for him.

Without much contemplation, Wang Teng decided to take advantage of this opportunity, even if it meant enduring another potential backlash.

Wang Teng took a deep breath, controlled his spiritual power, and gradually approached the runic sphere. With determination, he bit the bullet and thrust his spiritual power forward.

Boom!

The tremor struck again, leaving Wang Teng feeling worse.

Several attribute bubbles popped up once again, and Wang Teng immediately collected them. He then retracted his spiritual power as if he had been electrocuted.

It was painful!

After taking a moment to recover, he looked at the newly acquired attribute bubbles.

Great, there were more Spiritual Hollow Mountain attribute bubbles as well as some spirit attributes. This could alleviate the exhaustion of his spiritual power.

His complexion had initially turned somewhat pale, but with the influx of these spiritual attributes, a rosy tint returned to his face.

The onlookers were stunned.

His face changed from pale to rosy, what on earth was happening? Was he running a dyeing workshop?

Wang Teng continued his risky endeavor, repeatedly thrusting his spiritual power toward the rune sphere, experiencing both pain and pleasure.

His facial expressions kept changing, leaving people puzzled.

Tong En and the others were initially worried, but seeing him in this state, they eventually became speechless.

Was this guy playing around with them?

On the other hand, the president and others wore solemn expressions. They seemed to sense something, and all their gazes focused on Wang Teng. Even the strong individuals who were originally paying attention to Yuan Mu and others redirected their attention to Wang Teng.

As time passed, Wang Teng finally gave up.

It seemed like he had played with the rune sphere too much.

No matter how he teased or prodded, the runic sphere showed no signs of producing more attribute bubbles. There was no choice but to give up.

Letting out a regretful sigh, Wang Teng glanced at the attributes board.

Spiritual Hollow Mountain: 1100/30000 (well-versed)

It has reached the well-versed stage! Wang Teng was a little surprised. He didn’t expect this. After all, farming attributes just now was too difficult. The foundation stage required 10,000 attribute points, a feat not easily achieved.

It appeared that although the rune sphere was somewhat arrogant, it did respond after being prodded.

Poking it a few times naturally evoked a reaction!

Wang Teng glanced at his spiritual power attributes once again, feeling a burst of joy.

He was at the perfected stage!

His spirit attribute had reached the perfected cosmos stage.

Spirit: 200000/200000 (cosmos realm)

This was a huge surprise. Even before entering the Spiritual Hollow Mountain, Wang Teng’s spiritual power had experienced a sudden surge. Yet, after entering the Spiritual Hollow Mountain, his spiritual power unexpectedly increased again, reaching the perfected stage.

Moreover, Wang Teng felt that his spiritual power had somehow become more solid.

He hadn’t noticed it earlier, but now, as he stopped prodding the rune sphere, his spiritual power had completely calmed down, and he could sense this subtle change.

Who said the Spiritual Hollow Mountain was a torturous place? Clearly, it was a treasure trove!

Wang Teng marveled for a moment, then continued his ascent to the mountaintop. There was nothing worth lingering for here, and it was time for him to unleash his potential.

His climbing speed suddenly increased, and, of course, he didn’t forget to continue collecting attribute bubbles.

He hadn’t harvested this area yet, and naturally, he couldn’t easily let it pass.

As Wang Teng’s speed accelerated, a figure appeared ahead. It was Raynolds.

Seeing Wang Teng, Raynolds couldn’t help but be stunned.

“I thought you had given up,” Raynolds gasped, his eyes filled with astonishment.

“I’m just getting started.” Wang Teng smiled faintly, surpassing him and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

“Damn, what is this? So fast!” Raynolds widened his eyes, wearing an expression of incredulity..
