I am confident that with enough time, I can definitely adapt to that power, and that speed.
While it's true that against enemies of the same level, physiological responses might not be as effective at times, this is predicated on the assumption that your inherent reaction capabilities are not particularly good to begin with.
It would be even better if combat skills could become a conditioned reflex.
Moreover, some people are already struggling at the second-to-last difficulty.
For instance, Chen Zhi.
I mean, she had been injured before, and I hoped she would rest well for a while. I didn't expect her to start training the very next day after her return.
If hands can't be used, then practice with legs...
After several attempts to persuade her, none had any effect, and eventually, we all gave up.
Fortunately, after a period of recuperation, Chen Zhi's arms had fully recovered without any lasting effects.
This made me quite happy.
But I also understood that this speed of improvement was still too slow.
What's more, several monsters had escaped, which made me feel even more uneasy.
To this day, Wei Xi hasn't attacked again. Although I'm not sure what he's planning, I always feel like he's brewing something malicious.
His research should be much more mature by now. I expect that the next time he appears before me, he will reveal a completely new power, though I don't look forward to it.
After finishing a day of training, I sat in my room to rest.
With my current abilities, I can last for two hours under the highest difficulty.
"How do you feel now?" Old Yu asked.
"Much stronger than before..." I replied with a smile. The physical changes were completely noticeable.
Now, I believe that if I were to face that monster again, I could defeat it with just my body's instincts...
Of course, this is assuming his strength hasn't increased.
"That's good. Day by day, with perseverance!" Old Yu said with a smile. "You will also uncover more of your potential..." Kuai Shu Ge
"But to be honest, Old Yu, I feel my current improvement isn't enough..." I said slowly.
The scene I witnessed before is still vivid in my mind.
The Heavenly Dao is too powerful. At that time, without the valiant sacrifices of those cultivators, I wouldn't have dared to resist.
"You are right. No cultivator can only focus on the present forever. Their goal is to become stronger..." Old Yu smiled. "There's a saying passed down among cultivators: there is no strongest, only stronger..."
I nodded. I of course understood what that meant.
After all, there are mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people...
"Old Yu, I still need your help..." I said earnestly. "I must find a way to improve my strength as quickly as possible..."
"In fact, given the current situation, the fastest way for you to improve your strength is to defeat the other half of the Tree of Life..." Old Yu said with a smile.
I was well aware of this, but in my current circumstances, finding Wei Xi is not that simple.
"Are there any other ways?" I asked.
"Yes, but it will be dangerous!" Old Yu said slowly.
I nodded seriously. "It's okay, I'm psychologically prepared now..."
One of the main reasons I urgently want to improve my strength is because I witnessed so many deaths before.
Therefore, I must improve my strength as quickly as possible, so that I will have enough confidence when I face the Heavenly Dao.
I know very well that one day in the future, I will have a battle with the Heavenly Dao.
This might even be destiny. Even if I wanted to break the law today and hide, it would be impossible to do so.
Therefore, the best way now is to improve my strength as quickly as possible.
This way, even when facing the Heavenly Dao, I will have a fight in me.
And too many people's hopes are pinned on me, so no matter what, I must win.
Although I am well aware that the Heavenly Dao's power is not something I can compare to now, so I must find a way to become stronger.
Only when I possess enough power will my life not have been lived in vain.
"I understand your thoughts..." Old Yu said with a smile. "Actually, I know of another place you could try, but I must tell you something..."
"Old Yu, please tell me..."
"I'm not sure what that place is like now. After all, in our era, it was a very dangerous location. If it has changed now, it could only have become more perilous..."
"If that's the case, are you still willing to give it a try?"
"I must go!" I said earnestly. "What I care about is not whether it's dangerous or not, but whether there's a way to improve my strength as quickly as possible!"
