Rune One

The new research method required the consumption of an enhanced duration using the Black Mark, but luckily, after Yu Hong combined the Vortex Rune with the luminous stone, there were only a few minutes left on the countdown.

He waited for a short while and then obtained a small pyroxene bearing a completely new set of runes.

Picking up the luminous stone, he examined the runes on its surface.

'The new runes integrate the enhancement rune with the Vortex Rune, and it's not just a simple combination. The placement and order of the internal symbols have changed. However, the material of the luminous stone remained the same, the ordinary one.'

He took out the enhancement detector and pressed it beside the luminous stone.

Beep.

The detector's LCD screen displayed the value: -7.221.
