Hong!

The pressure rose significantly as Keith entered the marquis layer. It didn't bother him as much as it did before because of the protection of the energy layer. It used the residue power of the bloodstone and temporarily created an aura that blocked the outside pressure.

It could've lasted longer if he stayed in the count layer, but now he was in the marquis layer, it was depleting faster because of the resistance. The system gave him a ten-second window to cross the rest of the layers.

Clenching his teeth, he moved faster than he ever did. His blood-qi was perfectly distributed across the body and both the blood core and the warrior frame worked at their full capacity. They complemented each other and boosted the output of his body to a whole new level.

When he reached the end of the marquis layer, only eight seconds remained. It felt way longer but he actually managed to cross the marquis layer in two seconds.
