Chapter 199: Breakthrough To Star Commander (Part 5)

The Aether Energy Gathering Array engraved in the room worked rapidly, and slowly, the density of the Aether Energy within the small room rose.

William sat at the center of the room, feeling the rapidly rising density of the Aether Energy.

Once he felt the energy density in the room was sufficient, he took a deep breath, and a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes.

"Let’s begin..." He muttered under his breath and utilized the Time Star Codex.

The density of Aether Energy within William’s core had already reached a very high level and was only a step away from turning into liquid.

Previously, when William had bought some pills from the Academy’s Resource Department, he had estimated that it would take him ten days to break through to the Star Commander level.

But he was able to break through a few days earlier because of the Spirit Gathering Room in Vivian’s Mansion.

Instead of the academy’s dormitory, he lived in Vivian’s mansion during the last week and utilized the Spirit Gathering Room to its fullest.

With its help, his progress accelerated a bit.

In just a few minutes, the dense Aether Energy within William’s core reached a critical point and began to form a drop of liquid.

Seeing that his Aether Energy was about to turn into liquid, William took out a small bottle filled with red liquid from his storage ring.

"It’s time to use the Blood Essence of the Gale Tiger as well to break through in my Body Forging Technique."

William had received the Blood Essence of a Peak Star Commander-level Gale Tiger from Vivian more than a week ago.

But he didn’t use it at that time to break through in his Body Forging Technique and waited until now.

When a person breaks through to the Star Warrior Realm, their entire body goes through a complete reconstruction, just like how William’s body had gone through when he broke through to the Star Warrior Realm.

Because of this reconstruction process, the physical strength of a Star Warrior is far superior to that of a normal human.

But when a Star Warrior breaks through to Star Commander, they don’t have to go through a similar process.

Instead of physical changes, the Star Commander and Star Lord Realms are more about changes in Aether Energy’s intensity.

To break through from Star Warrior to Star Commander, a person will have to condense their Aether Energy into liquid.

That way, the intensity of their Energy will reach the next level.

But upon breaking through to the Star Commander level, the amount of boost in physical strength wouldn’t be very high.

Their physique will definitely become stronger than when they were a Star Warrior. But the most noticeable change will be in their Aether Energy, and Physical Enhancement will just be a side effect.

The reason William didn’t use the Blood Essence of the Gale Tiger previously was because if he had broken through to the next level of the Gale Tiger Body Forging Technique, his physical strength would have increased somewhat.

His physical strength was already very high compared to his Star Warrior level, and if he had increased it even more, it was possible that when he broke through to the Star Commander level, he wouldn’t receive any physical boost.

Breaking through to the Star Commander level has a limited impact on the physical body, and if a person’s body is already very strong, it wouldn’t receive any boost from breaking through to Star Commander.

That’s why William did not use the Gale Tiger Blood Essence before and waited until now.

Now that he was planning to break through to the Star Commander level and his Body Forging Technique at the same time, the benefits he could get would be much better.

During his breakthrough to Star Commander, the breakthrough in his Body Forging Technique will stimulate his entire body.

The double stimulation will make his body cells absorb the Blood Essence of the Gale Tiger and breakthrough energy to a deeper level, allowing his physical body to strengthen greatly despite it already being quite strong.

Without hesitation, William gulped down all the Blood Essence of the Gale Tiger in one go and used the Gale Tiger Body Forging Technique to guide its energy.

For other people, it would have been very difficult to use the Time Star Codex and Gale Tiger Body Forging Technique at the same time.

But with his strong soul power and the help of the True Wisdom Trait, William used both of them without any conflict.

As the Blood Essence of the Gale Tiger seeped into his blood, flesh, and bones under the guidance of the Gale Tiger Body Forging Technique, William felt a sharp, needle-like pain.

But his expression didn’t change much, and he continued to operate both of the techniques at the same time.

Suddenly, the Aether Energy within his core contracted rapidly, and a drop of Aether Energy appeared within.

The instant the drop of Aether Energy appeared, William’s Aether Core shook violently, and the next second—

Woosh!

A powerful suction force emitted from it.

The dense Aether Energy from the outside world was rapidly absorbed by William, and as soon as the energy entered his core, it was assimilated into the single drop of Aether Energy liquid that had just appeared.

As more and more Aether Energy assimilated with it, the intensity of his Aether Energy continued to increase.

At the same time, in order to keep such powerful Aether Energy under control, William’s core also rapidly evolved, strengthening his life level.

Every breakthrough in a realm was an evolution of life, strengthening every aspect of a living being.

Stimulated by the evolution of his life level, William’s cells cheered and absorbed the Blood Essence of the Gale Tiger even more greedily, strengthening his physical body.

An aura that was far more powerful than before slowly began to emit from William’s body, making the surrounding air shake violently.

Feeling every aspect of his being, including his physical body, rapidly becoming stronger, despite feeling the sharp pain of the Body Forging Technique, William’s lips couldn’t help but curl upward in a faint smile.

’I wonder what kind of benefits I will receive from the God of Time’s Legacy after this breakthrough.’
