Just then, the refined stone in his hand suddenly burst out with a bright blue fluorescence, which was very dazzling. It seemed to sense Gao Jun's request and desire, and a huge amount of energy poured out!

Gao Jun felt as if his whole body was filled with energy, a feeling that was about to burst his body.

Energy surged wildly within his body, and intense pain tore at Gao Jun's flesh, constantly hammering and reshaping him.

boom!

It was as if a small universe was exploding within his body. Due to its special operating logic, natural spiritual energy formed a vortex the size of a fingertip within Gao Jun's body!

"This is……"

He endured the excruciating pain. He had experienced everything on the battlefield, but this feeling was particularly unbearable. He rolled on the ground several times, almost biting off his tongue.

The next moment, deep blue, finger-thick branding marks appeared all over Gao Jun's body. These marks formed some kind of pattern and began to grow on his skin.

As we all know, how are human psionic beings born? They all draw psionic energy from the Black Tide world, which can slowly modify the human body, making people stronger and awakening their special abilities.

But natural psionic energy is different; it is violent and brutal, and it does not come from the Black Tide world. It exists only in reality and is easier to understand and use.

Gao Jun finally understood that if he couldn't control this gifted energy, he would also become that humanoid monster and lose his mind.

If he can fully master it, the spirit stone will become the source of his power, and he will be able to completely control natural spiritual energy and embark on another path.

The Road of the Icefield King!

"Ahhhhh!" A violent power surged through his body, rampaging wildly and domineeringly, causing Gao Jun to faint several times.

But countless images of his family members flashed through his mind: the warm and cozy environment, their small garden, Gao Jun chatting with his parents sitting in recliners...

These memories pulled him back from his frenzy several times, helping him regain his rationality.

This process repeated itself for an unknown period of time until the chaotic energy began to calm down. Natural spiritual energy formed some trajectories, swirling around the small vortex within the body and being absorbed.

Gao Jun's life level evolved amidst waves of excruciating pain.

One night proves extraordinary!

He was surrounded by blue light and spiritual energy, which slowly receded into his body. A sharp blue glint flashed in his eyes as he rose from the ground.

Gao Jun looked at his hands and felt a huge energy contained within his body. The vortex turned on its own, absorbing the energy from the essence stone.

The scattered psionic energy in the real world was also pulled in.

His body was like a small black hole, limited only to natural spiritual energy, which led him to embark on a path of continuous evolution.

Holding the essence stone will increase this speed exponentially, and his properties will also change.

After activating 'Rage', natural spiritual energy surged around him, his senses underwent a dramatic change, becoming more acute and refined, and his power increased by almost tenfold!

After activating the 'multiplier', a flying stone can be amplified to its maximum, unleashing tremendous speed and reaching the power of a cannonball.

Both of these characteristics will now be prefixed with 'extraordinary'.

"Such powerful strength! In such a short time, I was able to step into the extraordinary realm with just this stone. No wonder the Icefield King values ​​me so highly."

Gao Jun still felt that although he had benefited, he dared not have too many unrealistic expectations...

The Icefield King, who had guarded the stone for over a dozen centuries, died at the hands of the prince. Even if I were to advance to demigod status, what difference would it make?

Undoubtedly, he has become an extraordinary being, and will be valued more highly in the Leopard Court in the future, with his status rising rapidly. He may even join Commander Li's inner circle or work for the Prince.

Gao Jun sped up; he couldn't wait to get home and hand over the Earth Essence Stone.

But at the same time, he was also filled with lingering fear. If he hadn't been able to withstand that excruciating pain, he might have become a monster, wandering in the wild, never to return.

A dozen days later, Gao Jun returned to Leopard Court and went directly to the military headquarters, saying that he had something important to give to Commander Li.

Now that the war is over, the high-ranking military officers have returned to the Garden of Gods. Gao Jun's position is too low, and he doesn't know if the Prince and Commander Li have returned yet, so he can only wait.

Two days later, the relevant department in charge of military affairs sent people to inquire about Gao Jun, but Gao Jun insisted on seeing Marshal Li in person.

He originally did not have the authority; even with military merit, he could not simply see whomever he wanted.

Fortunately, Gao Jun was lucky. During this time, Commander Li was not at Leopard Court, but Qin Che was. He had just returned from the Ice Plains and was dealing with a mountain of government affairs.

"Your Highness, a military officer is making a fuss about wanting to see Commander Li, but he is still on the icy plains. We sent someone to communicate with him, but he is very insistent, saying that he has spoils of war to hand over."

Old Geralt pushed open the door and entered. He had a head of white hair and a face full of wrinkles. During the Ice Age War, he had been in the cabinet and was now a highly respected chief minister.

Even so, the old gerbil still did many things personally and remained Qin Che's attendant and servant, remaining very humble.

"Oh? Wu Xun... is that someone I've met before?" Qin Che asked.

"You met him, and he was personally commended. That person is Gao Jun, and he was in the group receiving the commendation at the time."

Qin Che asked doubtfully, "It's been almost two months since the war ended. What spoils of war does he still have... Let him keep them."

Old Sand Rat said, "The intelligence department has investigated and found that this person went out once before returning to Leopard Court. When he came back, he had already attained the extraordinary body and his strength had greatly increased."

This finally piqued Qin Che's interest.

“Li Xin isn’t at Leopard Court, so he can’t see him. Why don’t you bring him here to me? I’ll come and see him.”

"yes."
