As he looked at the system panel before him, he realized that he had gained a lot during this period and his artistic conception of slaughter had reached the midstages. Perhaps even if he continued to hunt and kill, it wouldn't be able to make any progress. What was left was no longer just about slaughter, rather he needed some chance to gain an epiphany.
He then looked at the very bottom of the panel and could see the warning issued by the system, and this reinforced his belief, that the system was not up to any good.

"Finally couldn't help yourself anymore!" Wang Lu sneered as he looked at the massive collection of resources they had gathered.
"With these resources, I should be able to go another step further, at the same time I have the feeling it would be impossible to continue to improve without breaking down the heavenly gate." Wang Lu thought to himself as he sorted out everything.
"An excellent predator will always create a suitable environment for their prey! In a way, this is not something I'm capable of, after all my actions went to the extreme when collecting the resources. But it doesn't matter, at the end of the day gathering any good things requires luck, but keeping them at the end of the day depends on strength. To me, the system might just be another predator. I can't rely on luck, or else my ending might be even more miserable." Wang Lu had some inspiration in this moment.
The only pitiful thing was that he couldn't break through in any of his artistic conceptions because of this inspiration. But this made his heart toughened to seek greater power, but at the same time make sure it belonged to him in the end. Even though the system warning might make him feel slightly uneasy, that was as far as it went. Wang Lu is completely different compared to the past. After having experienced the previous life-and-death situation, he doesn't care much about threats.
"Let's deal with these resources, first and then.." He looked towards the area where the massive creature was lying, he could still see some grass but he knew it was fake. As for the treasure that exists in this space, it should still be present. He was very interested in whatever it was and was part of the reason he wanted to break through in this place.
Without wasting time, he distributed a share of the spoils to Wang Yue, "When you feel your body undergoing any change, it is best to hold on and persist until the end. When the pain passes, the benefits will be beyond your understanding."
Wang Lu was indeed concerned about this, as he didn't know what kind of star she might end up touching deep within her body and awaken. He called them stars as the number seemed infinite as such he was also even more convinced that the human body had terrifying potential.
Hearing her brother's words, Wang Yue could only nod as she started to stuff herself with the resources she trained. She could already see that they were probably going to be in this place for a while. Resources collected for an entire year were not something to be looked down upon.
The good thing about body training was that as long as resources matched the needs were present, improving was not a problem; the only problem was withstanding the pain that comes with it.
But for someone like Wang Lu and Wang Yue pain was not part of their fears at all. If that were the case, it would have been better to stop practicing altogether. The Nameless Scripture was not something that just anyone could practice, the pain that comes from this technique was already abnormal. It would be a lie to say that Wang Yue was having it easy, but she has gotten used to it, and the resources just helped speed things up.
It was the advantage of high-quality treasure not available in the outside world, they were just right for improving blood and Qi in the body. For Wang Yue having not shattered the Heavenly Gate was already a testament to her talent, seeing that she had already reached the midstages of artistic conception.
Even Wang Xingyue and Wang Shi Yi that had already reached the master realm before entering the Ruins didn't have the same level of speed, despite having traveled outside and tempered themselves in actual life-and-death battles. Unfortunately, they couldn't reach the same level as Wang Lu.
Wang Lu didn't focus much on Wang Yue's situation but rather decided to refine all the treasures he had on him to see the advantages he might gain from them. Just like that, he started to practice the Nameless Scripture after putting treasures in his mouth. The reaction was far weaker than before, but it was still substantial as he could feel immense heat flowing all around his body before it vanished.
He couldn't detect the place the energy went but he felt a strange wave coming from every corner of his body.
The result was obvious, the area around him had some slight frost, and he sent more materials to his body without delay from the storage bag. He just chewed them and swallowed as some were not sweet to the tongue.
Time passed like this and before he knew it, three months had gone by already.
It took this long before a drastic change happened and it was on Wang Yue's side.
Boom!
She was suddenly shrouded in darkness, and it spread outwards for a while before it eventually stopped.
Whatever it was that she had managed to awaken seemed to have something to do with darkness, and she didn't appear to be in any pain in the slightest.
But the moment this darkness formed, it continued to gather around her, before it was absorbed back into her body. She could feel that her body had undergone some change, and the darkness was some kind of ability she had gained from her physique.
Looking at the resources still at her disposal, she was conflicted, but eventually decided against using them at the moment. She could tell they would be very useful in healing injuries.
She kept them and started to practice, as she wanted to control the new power she had gained already.
From time to time, she could look at Wang Lu, "Brother is refining so many resources but nothing intense is happening! Training the body is indeed such a resource-consuming path."
But before she could speak more, she discovered a change around Wang Lu. It shocked her greatly.
