As Zhao Wu gradually refined the remaining medicinal power of the Great Returning Pill, the spiritual energy within his body became increasingly abundant.
Most importantly, due to the incredibly rapid circulation of his cultivation technique, the spiritual energy flowed with great speed within his dantian.
Zhao Wu could even clearly feel the spiritual energy vortex gradually forming deep within his dantian.
Han Lang also utilized his divine sense, observing the changes within Zhao Wu's body through the Divine Farmer's Eighteen Needles he had just employed.
When he saw the spiritual energy vortex gradually forming in Zhao Wu's dantian, he was filled with shock and involuntarily blurted out.
"Is this... a Golden Core vortex? Could it be... Zhao Wu, are you about to break through?"
Since Zhao Wu was fully immersed in circulating his cultivation technique, he didn't hear Han Lang's words. However, Tang Qin and Liu Xiaoxiao, who had been waiting by his side, heard them clearly.
They were both astonished.
"Ah? Han Lang. Are you saying Zhao Wu is breaking through to the Golden Core stage now?"
"No way! Your treatment is too amazing. Not only can you heal his injuries, but he can also turn misfortune into fortune and directly break through to the Golden Core?"
Facing their shock, Han Lang did not offer much explanation.
At this moment, he needed to focus on observing Zhao Wu's internal situation, so he could only reply faintly.
"There are indeed signs of a breakthrough. The Golden Core vortex has formed. As for whether he can break through, it's hard to say yet!"
The reason Han Lang dared not make a definitive statement was that he discovered that although Zhao Wu's dantian had formed a Golden Core vortex, its intensity seemed less powerful than when he himself had broken through.
Therefore, Han Lang could not guarantee whether Zhao Wu would ultimately break through.
After all, although he could observe Zhao Wu through the Divine Farmer's Eighteen Needles, it was not his own body, and he was unaware of many direct sensations.
Thus, at this moment, apart from anticipation and blessings, he could not offer any further help.
"Come on, Zhao Wu! If you can also break through to the Golden Core, our so-called new recruits will be able to truly rival any veteran unit. Then, our ability to fight against psychics will also greatly increase!"
Watching the Golden Core vortex continuously circling within Zhao Wu's dantian, Han Lang's heart was also on edge. 138 Reading Network
Since selecting Zhao Wu into his team, after so much simulated combat and experiencing a world-shattering battle against psychics together, Han Lang's previous reservations about Zhao Wu had completely disappeared.
This was not only due to his own patriotic spirit but also his growing recognition of Zhao Wu, similar to Tang Geng.
Therefore, regarding Zhao Wu's strength breakthrough, he not only had no worries but was filled with anticipation and blessings.
At this moment, there was no trace of his previous animosity towards the Zhao family between him and Zhao Wu.
More than anything, there was only the camaraderie of fellow soldiers!
On the other side, although Zhao Wu could not perceive the emotions of Han Lang, Liu Xiaoxiao, and Tang Qin, he was extremely clear about his own internal situation.
At this moment, he also understood that due to Han Lang's treatment, he had obtained a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to break through.
At this moment, like Han Lang, who was closely monitoring his situation, he was also extremely expectant and excited about breaking through to the Golden Core stage.
However, unlike Han Lang, he carried a hint of worry in his heart.
Because he could clearly feel that although the Golden Core vortex in his dantian appeared exceptionally powerful, it was clearly lacking in sustained power.
The remaining medicinal power of the Great Returning Pill was also gradually decreasing, and if there was no follow-up power, it would mean...
Breakthrough was hopeless!
Thinking of this, although Zhao Wu's eyes were tightly closed, his brows gradually furrowed.
He kept encouraging himself internally.
"Hold on! Hold on a little longer! Just a little longer, and I can break through!"
However, fate seemed to be playing a joke on him.
Just as he was exerting all his strength to seek a breakthrough, the medicinal effect of the Great Returning Pill was completely refined.
At the same time, the Golden Core vortex in his dantian seemed to lose its momentum, slowing down at a visible rate.
Zhao Wu was greatly alarmed and filled with immense disappointment.
"Could it be that it's all for naught?"
Just as he was filled with regret and sorrow over his inability to break through, he suddenly felt his lips part, as if someone had opened his mouth and fed him something.
The substance melted upon contact, and its taste even felt somewhat familiar.
But in such a situation, he couldn't recall where this familiar sensation came from.
It wasn't until the substance instantly transformed into abundant spiritual energy that he finally remembered.
"This... isn't this something like the Spirit Gathering Pill that Han Lang gave me before? But weren't the Spirit Gathering Pills all consumed on the battlefield? How does Han Lang still have them?"
Zhao Wu was full of suspicion, but his physical condition did not allow him to ponder further.
Because as the Spirit Gathering Pill entered his body, the Golden Core vortex in his dantian, which had lost its momentum, began to rotate at high speed as if it had been replenished.
Moreover, the spiritual energy contained within a complete Spirit Gathering Pill was almost several times more potent than the remaining medicinal power of the previous Great Returning Pill, causing the Golden Core vortex in Zhao Wu's dantian to surge with even greater power!
He dared not hesitate any longer, quickly withdrew his mind, and focused on continuing to circulate his cultivation technique, using the spiritual energy from the Spirit Gathering Pill to accelerate the condensation of the Golden Core vortex.
As the spiritual energy of the Spirit Gathering Pill was gradually consumed, at the center of the Golden Core vortex, a Golden Core faintly shimmering with golden light gradually took shape.
Seeing this, Zhao Wu was overjoyed.
But he dared not slacken his actions in the slightest.
He continued to exert all his strength to transport the spiritual energy from the Spirit Gathering Pill into his dantian, like an artist, constantly polishing and enriching the Golden Core that was about to form.
Soon, under his meticulous efforts, the luster of the Golden Core became brighter and its size increased.
Until the spiritual energy vortex within his body gradually ceased, and a perfectly round Golden Core quietly floated within him.
At the same time, a faint wave of spiritual energy emanated from Zhao Wu's body.
Liu Xiaoxiao and Han Lang, who were outside, felt this familiar spiritual energy fluctuation and were immediately overjoyed.
Even before Zhao Wu had fully opened his eyes, Tang Qin, with a smile, eagerly looked at him and asked.
"Did you break through to the Golden Core stage?"
Zhao Wu nodded with some surprise, then his gaze shifted, and he looked at Han Lang, who was sitting by his bed, and asked.
"When my spiritual energy was insufficient just now, did you feed me a recovery pill?"
Han Lang pursed his lips and retorted.
"Don't you know the feeling of a Spirit Gathering Pill?"
Hearing this answer, Zhao Wu's mind was in turmoil.
He knew clearly that if it weren't for the timely arrival of that Spirit Gathering Pill, he would never have been able to break through to the Golden Core stage in one go.
And the fundamental reason that propelled his breakthrough was actually Han Lang, whom he had always considered an enemy.
This made it difficult for him to accept at first!
After all, before the major battle, he had always inadvertently stood in opposition to Han Lang.
But Han Lang?
Not only did he not retaliate against him for those past incidents, but he also helped him without hesitation when he needed it most.
Was this kindness, this magnanimity, truly just because he helped Han Lang and the others break through to the front lines on the psychic battlefield, or to buy time for everyone using the Brahma Golden Bell?
Thinking of these things, Zhao Wu couldn't help but feel ashamed.
At the same time, he was deeply moved by Han Lang's actions!
He even felt immense regret, and looking at Han Lang with a solemn expression, he said earnestly.
"Your magnanimity makes me admire you. From today onwards, I, Zhao Wu, have decided to wholeheartedly fulfill our previous bet and solemnly say to you, Boss!"
Seeing Zhao Wu's serious expression at this moment, Han Lang was first slightly stunned, then quickly reacted and laughed heartily.
"It's nothing! It's nothing! We are all comrades, no need to be so polite!"
Seeing the two of them completely reconcile from this moment on, Liu Xiaoxiao and Tang Qin were also happy from the bottom of their hearts. Liu Xiaoxiao, uncharacteristically, disregarded her ladylike demeanor and laughed heartily.
"Alright, alright! It's truly wonderful that you can finally put aside your differences. If the special forces can continue to have fresh blood like you few, why worry about the prosperity of the nation or the annihilation of the psychics! Haha..."
