The room was silent.
Vihaan Wei sat cross-legged, eyes closed, breath steady.
Energy flowed.
Constantly.
Endlessly.
The Devouring Physique never stopped.
Training Begins
The moment he focused—
The surrounding energy surged toward him.
Like a vortex.
Pulled in.
Refined instantly.
No impurities.
No resistance.
"…Again."
Day after day—
He didn't leave.
Didn't waste time.
Only cultivation.
Only growth.
One Month Later
A sharp pulse spread from his body.
Vihaan's eyes snapped open.
A stable aura formed around him.
Controlled.
Compact.
"…Dou Ling… 1-Star."
In just one month.
In the world of Battle Through the Heavens—
This was impossible.
Hidden Effort
But it wasn't effortless.
During the month—
He had consumed multiple medicinal pills to stabilize and break through.
Without them, even his physique would have slowed at bottlenecks.
"…So resources still matter."
Good.
That meant the auction system would be essential.
