Chapter 180: Physique Tribulation (1/2)
[Aura of Reinforcement has expired]
That was already the 8th use of the Orb but still, the Trial continues.
The Purple Haze had its regenium plates almost chipped away to its skeletal form during the 5th usage of the orb. If I continued using it, it would surely become irreparable or worse, destroyed. That's why I put it back and put on the Powergen version of the Purple Haze. However, after three uses of the Orb of Reinforcement, the Powergen was now beyond repair.
The Wind Trial.
Ah. Let's call it like that.
The Wind Trial evolved from just strong winds to sharp winds to the combination of both until it even spawned Wind Incarnates which ganged upon the Purple Haze.
They were all made from the wind which kept on blowing but they have a physical form made from the dust particles from the guard.
Inside them was something like a core which was their only weakness.
At first, it only spawned two but as the time gradually passed, more and more of them spawned.
Now that I'm out of both Metagen and Powergen, I still have the standard Metagen but it surely wouldn't last for 10 minutes for the cooldown of the Orb.
The Orb of Concealment and Orb of Enhancement were also used. Concealment wasn't that effective due to the random raging winds that would hit me occasionally which would result in the concealment being undone. The Enhancement, on the other hand, provided me with additional stats but at this point, it's barely 10% increase in my overall stats.
It's now almost three hours since this Physique Tribulation started and until now, it only showcased the power of raging winds. By the word 'tribulation' I'm expecting lightning strikes at the end so I'm still just at the entry-level of this Trial.
Yuko and Yumiko took at least more than 16 hours to finish their Transcendence, I still haven't arrived at the quarter of the time they used.
I don't know if we had the same intensity during their 2nd stage but this Wind Trial has already reached a Transcendent Strength that if not for the Orb of Reinforcement, I would've already been crushed and diced by it many times over. Even these newly spawned Wind Incarnates have around Power Level 100 in strength. I could only cope with them due to how swiftly my judgement is that their speed couldn't keep up.
It's like fighting a ton of buffed versions of Kazeyoshi.
In any case. There's no time to overthink right now.
Time to burn some energy and make more progress.

When the Energy Amplification activated, like G*ku, a swift burst of power was emitted from me as it started to create a zone wherein a seemingly Aura of Strength started to emanate from me.
