Chapter 989: Dreams of the Heart—Ocean Turbulence! (2/2)

He smacked his lips in admiration as Gehen watched with widened eyes at Krune's training.

Krune summoned attacks one after another while condensing an ice sword that he swung in a flurry while dancing around the entire training ground like a madman. He condensed more ice into the sword, making it tremendously heavy as he carried the weight, swinging it as his body screamed from the strain.

The healing effect of his Ocean Heart worked its magic at this moment, constantly healing him as he broke his muscles while it healed him back to an optimal state. Adding to that, the Tier 3 Development Sphere's essence seeped into his body, slightly strengthening him further, causing his body weight to increase by a small amount.

Krune hadn't even realized that he had attained a breakthrough to surpass the limit of his flesh, however insignificant. For the entire day, he continued to train and experiment with the effects the fusion of his abilities resulted in.

Based on what Gehen said, the training effects should last a day. But for Krune, it was expended well in advance. He was somewhat confused about how it was caused, wondering if him swallowing five Tier 3 Development Spheres instead of one had been the cause.

But upon activating his Ocean Heart once again and feeling the effect of the healing effect, he was unable to control himself from smiling. 'My Ocean Heart has absorbed the Development Sphere's effect. In the future, I can train and increase my strength even further through that.'

He was now able to experience the development effect along with the healing effect using his Ocean Heart. On top of that, Krune could feel that his body had mildly gained weight. Normally, it wouldn't have been possible for him to detect such a minute change.

But during the state of Ocean Turbulence, his Sonic Radar was able to relay this data based on the change in density in his body. After all, his size had experienced zero change during this. Through that, Krune was able to determine the weight difference.

'Is it possible to increase my weight further? Maybe that might be the way to grow even stronger,' Krune thought, smiling as he relaxed, feeling his body brimming with power.

”How was it?” Gehen asked as he approached Krune after taking down all the barriers. Currently, it was raining in the capital due to all the ice and cold air Krune had launched.

”Impressive.” Krune laughed. ”I think I got more than five years' worth of training out of it within the day.”

'So, his abilities amplified the effect by creating a synergic reaction,' Gehen thought, nodding as he smiled. ”You can go rest now. If there's anything else, you can ask me later.”

”Sure.” Krune nodded, condensing the Cloud Whale around him as he carried his backpack and flew out of the palace, landing at a discrete street as he deactivated it. He then mingled through the crowd, sightseeing the city until he was satisfied.

He then left the capital city, heading towards the other cities as he took in the sights filled with people, relishing the experience as he had spent way too much time alone. He didn't know what the Seamstress was doing with Solare.

They had parted ways already, going about with their respective needs with the promise of meeting each other once they were back in the God Realm. Since they were on neighboring continents, it was each to find each other if they searched with such an intention.

He immediately dropped his plan of searching for new passive abilities. It was no longer worth the effort since he had witnessed the potential of Frozen Blood and Moving Ripple. Thus, he decided to stick with them without any changes.

Moreover, he had invested too much in them and had already developed them significantly. There was also the fact that they had formed a synergic effect with his other abilities. Krune dared not say any other ability he might obtain might have this synergic effect.

So, instead of losing his trump card for an ability that would create him a weapon, it was better to stick to his current abilities. In the state of Ocean Turbulence, he was able to condense weapons of ice anyway.

In any case, it was better. Even when he became a cultivator, it would still serve its use. Krune was fine with that. Though, he wondered if it would become even stronger if he imbued the laws of wind and ice in them.

Krune spent the rest of his time training and visiting new places. He figured out the duration that he could sustain the activation of Ocean Turbulence. It ranged between two to three minutes.

The duration was less because he was consuming a tremendous amount of energy, expending all five crimson rings. But the power that resulted from those couple of minutes was enough time to fell any opponent he faced.

Krune continued to loiter around for the next few months until he could feel the arrival of a Checkpoint Turtle.
