71: The rewards of the Willpower Pillar and Jiang Wuhan's experience

"Teacher Wang!"

On the square, after listening to Wang Yu's introduction, Lin Yi took several deep breaths, slowly calming his heart before speaking.

"Thank you for the explanation just now. I now understand the function of the willpower stone pillar and the relationship between will and the Divine Soul."

"In that case, can I try to challenge the willpower stone pillar now?"

"After all, I also want to see how strong the effect of this willpower stone pillar really is!"

As he spoke, a glint flashed in Lin Yi's eyes.

He remembered that when he derived the azure rank "Will Growth," the attribute panel's description in the talent column was like this—

"You are born with an extraordinary talent for will!"

"In your daily Cultivation and life, your willpower strength will automatically and rapidly increase along with the enhancement of your strength, the transformation of your state of mind, and even the increase of your age."

"If you intentionally train your will or use external objects to assist in enhancing it, your Will Growth speed will be incredibly fast, enough to leave the world dumbfounded!"

...And now, this "willpower stone pillar" was one of the best treasures in the Jiuzhou World for tempering willpower below the Innate Realm. If combined with his terrifying "Will Growth" talent, what level would his speed of enhancing his will reach?

Lin Yi was extremely looking forward to it!

"No problem!"

Wang Yu nodded with a smile.

"You are a formal Disciple of my Tianshan Pavilion, so according to the rules, you naturally have the qualification to use this willpower stone pillar."

"However, before using this willpower stone pillar, I need to introduce the specific details of its use to you."

"First, although this willpower stone pillar is miraculous, it can only cover an area of eight hundred meters around its center."

"So if you want to use the willpower stone pillar later, you must enter the eight-hundred-meter range of the willpower stone pillar."

"Second, after entering the eight-hundred-meter range, as your body gradually approaches the willpower stone pillar, the willpower impact it produces on you will become stronger and stronger."

"Therefore, when you notice that your will is about to reach its limit due to the impact of the willpower stone pillar, you must quickly retreat to a safer range."

"Otherwise, if you are knocked unconscious by the willpower impact emitted by the willpower stone pillar, although you won't suffer any terrible lasting effects, you won't be able to use the willpower stone pillar again for a month. If you do, you'll suffer an unbearable headache, and it will be completely ineffective."

"And one last point, which is also the most important—the tianshan coins rewards for challenging this willpower stone pillar!"

"tianshan coins rewards!"

Hearing this, Lin Yi's eyes instantly lit up, and he immediately began to listen intently.

Seeing this, Wang Yu smiled and replied:

"According to the regulations of my Tianshan Pavilion, the rewards for challenging the willpower stone pillar are very generous."

"After all, among the three major conditions for a Breakthrough to the Innate Realm, Divine Soul power is the most important and the most difficult to achieve."

"As the only way for ordinary Martial Artists to enhance their Divine Soul power, the importance of will is naturally self-evident."

"Furthermore, even without mentioning the Breakthrough to the Innate Realm, as long as your willpower strength can reach within the first five hundred meters of the willpower stone pillar, it will be enough to give your Divine Soul a powerful transformation."

"After the Divine Soul becomes stronger, your thinking speed and your Comprehension Ability will also be significantly improved. These things are also extremely beneficial for your comprehension of Martial Arts Techniques and the Force Exertion Realm."

"For example, Jiang Hanhan, whom you know, originally came from a small Family in a county city under the jurisdiction of my Heavenly Mountain Sect's Qingyang Prefecture. The strongest person in his Family, the Clan Chief, was only at the fifth rank of the Martial Dao."

"Being held back by his Family, the training he received since childhood was actually not good. When he joined my Heavenly Mountain Sect back then, he barely managed to comprehend Extreme Strength. He wasn't even outstanding among the ordinary Disciples of the Heavenly Mountain Sect, let alone compared to the Disciples of the Tianshan Pavilion."

"However, a month after joining the Heavenly Mountain Sect, once he achieved Martial Dao Enlightenment and awakened a terrifying talent for will, it didn't take long for his Divine Soul power to rapidly reach the level of the first five hundred meters of the willpower stone pillar, driven by his will."

"Subsequently, relying on his powerful Divine Soul strength, his Force Exertion Realm and Martial Arts Techniques Realm both improved rapidly. He actually achieved Limit Breaking in just three or four short months, shocking the Sect and causing the Pavilion Master to personally order his recruitment into the Tianshan Pavilion."

"Afterward, with the resource cultivation of the Tianshan Pavilion, his Martial Dao strength advanced by leaps and bounds. Now, at only twenty-three years old, he is already ranked thirty-first on the nine provinces latent dragon general ranking, and his strength is not much different from mine."

"So from this, one can see how great the benefits of a Martial Artist having a strong will are!"

"Therefore, to encourage the Disciples and teachers of the Tianshan Pavilion to do their best to temper their will, the Tianshan Pavilion established regulations long ago."

"Any Disciple of the Tianshan Pavilion, including those who have already graduated, as well as the teachers—whoever can enter within the first five hundred meters of the willpower stone pillar will be rewarded with 1,000 tianshan coins."

"Entering within the first 400 meters, 2,000 tianshan coins."

"First 300 meters, 5,000 tianshan coins."

"First 200 meters, 10,000 tianshan coins."

"First 100 meters, 20,000 tianshan coins."

"First 50 meters, 100,000 tianshan coins."

"First 30 meters, 200,000 tianshan coins."

"As for completely conquering the willpower stone pillar, that would earn a terrifying reward of a full 500,000 tianshan coins!"

"Even I am envious of this reward!"

"Unfortunately, sigh! Completely conquering the willpower stone pillar is truly too difficult. In the Tianshan Pavilion, let alone Disciples, even teachers who can reach this step are very few."

"After all, once one completely conquers this willpower stone pillar, their willpower strength is only one step away from the Innate Realm."

"Although this one step is still like a natural chasm, at least it counts as touching the edge of the Innate Realm. It's much better than those of us who see no hope of a Breakthrough to the Innate Realm."

At this point, a trace of sorrow suddenly appeared on Wang Yu's face, which had originally carried a faint smile.

Hearing this, Lin Yi also fell silent.

Completely conquering the willpower stone pillar and reaching the limit of willpower below the Innate Realm was indeed extremely difficult.

Even with the azure rank talent "Will Growth" in his possession, he had no confidence at all in being able to achieve it within five years.

Fortunately, the rewards for the willpower stone pillar could also be taken by Disciples who had already graduated. With his talent, if he spent more time after graduating, he should be able to get it.

However, a Breakthrough to the Innate Realm was still difficult; he could only do his best!

Thinking of this, Lin Yi shook his head and immediately comforted Wang Yu:

"Teacher, there's no need to be sad. The path to the Innate Realm is inherently as difficult as climbing to the heavens. We Martial Artists can only do our best, and as for the rest, we leave it to fate."

"I already know all the details of the willpower stone pillar. Does Teacher have anything else to instruct? If not, I will go to challenge it now."

"Hehe, you little fellow are actually more open-minded than I am. Today, I have learned something from you."

Hearing this, the smile returned to Wang Yu's face, and he laughed:

"You're right. How difficult is the Innate Realm? Ordinary Martial Artists like us only need to do our best, and the rest is up to fate."

"As for the details of the willpower stone pillar, I have nothing more to instruct. Go and challenge it now!"

"I also want to see how many meters a Genius like you can reach during your first challenge of the willpower stone pillar."

"After all, Geniuses with high Comprehension Ability generally have strong Divine Souls. While a strong Divine Soul doesn't necessarily mean a strong will, at least if the will is the same, a Genius with a strong Divine Soul can endure a bit more."

"And this time, I don't require you to enter the first 500 or 600 meters. As long as you can enter the first 700 meters, you will already be at a superior level among the Geniuses in the history of the Tianshan Pavilion who comprehended Limit Breaking at the age of fifteen. Go on!"

"Yes! Teacher!"

Hearing this, Lin Yi nodded and then strode toward the center of the square.
