Making a breakthrough to paragon was not as simply as making breakthroughs within the supreme saint. It demanded a deep understanding of the world and the ability to bridge the gap between heaven and earth.
Most supreme saints would begin to gather the power of heaven and earth once they reached level nine. When such power accumulated more and more, they would use their primal spirit to comprehend the world and bridge heaven and earth. That step alone could take years, perhaps even decades for some! A seventh-grade pill only increased the chance of success, rather than guaranteeing it.
Severin, however, was blessed with a head start. His inherent affinity for the power of heaven and earth, coupled with The Book of True Void Enlightenment, has given him a physique as strong as a dragon. It allowed him to handle more power than ordinary practitioners. Furthermore, the exercise worked wonders in tempering his primal spirit, thus facilitating a much faster breakthrough than his.
With that in mind, Severin rose from his mat and stretched his waist. A crackling sound coursed through his body, and a casual punch of the air was enough to send the force ripping through it and unleashing a deafening sonic boom. The shockwave left a fist-sized crater in the training room wall and showed no signs of stopping just yet. After going through the crater, shattered the stone structure ten feet away in the courtyard, turning it into dust.
Severin then remarked with an ecstatic grin, "I feel like I could fight a level two paragon with my current strength!"
Though he was still a level nine supreme saint, his physical strength rivaled that of a true dragon. Thanks to the exercise, his primal spirit has benefited greatly from it, granting him an exquisitely meticulous control over his spiritual energy.
Another level nine supreme saint would probably not be able to last two moves with him. He was confident that he could kill even a paragon that had just broken through!
