With such an acceleration in speed, both of us entered a state of full immersion in cultivation.
This was an opportunity that absolutely could not be missed.
This state of cultivation dynamics lasted for only a day, and I could feel that the energy within my body seemed to have reached a critical point.
The next moment, a warm sensation spread to every corner of my body.
I knew it was time to break through!
I immediately focused all my attention on this, and my entire being reached its peak state.
Following this, I felt as if an invisible gravitational force was drawing all the Shepherd's Power in the hot spring towards me at a rapid pace.
Although my eyes were closed, I could clearly feel the changes around me.
The water in the hot spring seemed to boil, with bubbles appearing one after another.
When Lin Chun noticed the abnormality, he immediately jumped out of the hot spring.
I had told him before what breaking through would be like.
In such a situation, a sufficiently terrifying amount of Shepherd's Power was needed for support.
Although I had never failed to break through before, I was certain that a failed breakthrough could lead to some rather significant side effects.
For instance, a regression in strength, excruciating pain, or a period of weakness.
Under these circumstances, I couldn't afford to hold back and could only focus all my energy on the breakthrough.
The moment the Shepherd's Power entered my body, it was absorbed and transformed, becoming my own Shepherd's Power.
Simultaneously, it was delivered to every corner of my body.
I could clearly feel my body strengthening at an astonishing speed.
This strengthening encompassed my bones, muscles, and meridians, all experiencing a substantial improvement!
At the same time, I could feel the Shepherd's Power hidden within my body rapidly increasing.
This increase was not just in quantity but, more importantly, in quality.
If it were visible, one would notice that the green Shepherd's Power was turning a darker shade of green.
Although I didn't know what the final form would be, I could clearly feel that my current Shepherd's Power had reached an incredible level.
At this moment, my chest felt like it was burning with a flame, which spread to every part of my body, while the Shepherd's Power within me also converged towards my chest.
Following this, the scorching sensation slowly permeated my body.
It felt as if it was sinking into my muscles and bones.
At the same time, a tearing, intense pain surged through me.
Under such circumstances, I naturally could not flinch. I gritted my teeth and endured this excruciating pain.
This pain was much easier to bear than the pain from the attribute change, so it was within my limits.
Fortunately, the pain did not last long. After a few minutes, the intense pain gradually subsided.
Then, a cooling sensation spread from my chest to the surrounding areas.
Instantly, I entered a peculiar state.
Every part of my body seemed to be filled with power, several times stronger than before.
I kept my eyes tightly shut and entered a state of cultivation, disregarding everything around me.
I didn't know how much time had passed. When I opened my eyes again, Lin Chun was cautiously testing for my breath with his finger under my nose.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
Hearing my voice, Lin Chun paused, instinctively took a few steps back, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face. "I was checking if you were still breathing..."
Hearing this, a sense of helplessness filled me.
However, it was Lin Chun's first time witnessing me break through, and he didn't know what was happening, which was why he was so anxious.
"Don't worry, I'm fine," I said with a smile. "How long have I been cultivating?"
"Three days," Lin Chun replied. "If you hadn't been breathing consistently, I would have suspected you were dead..."
"I broke through," I said seriously.
Lin Chun nodded, not particularly surprised. "Seeing your terrifying state earlier, I knew something must be happening to you, so I didn't dare to contend with you for the Shepherd's Power in the hot spring..."
Hearing this, my heart was filled with emotion. Regardless of anything else, his willingness to share the Shepherd's Power with me in such a situation indicated that he considered me a friend in his heart.
"Let me check," I said, walking to the edge of the hot spring and sensing the Shepherd's Power within.
After sensing the Shepherd's Power in the hot spring, my face showed a look of shock!
