"What's up? You want to try this kind of strengthening?" Du Gang asked with a chuckle.
"Aren't you interested?" Zheng Yichen countered.
Du Gang nodded his head: "Of course, I'm interested. It's just too expensive... especially as an individual's strength increases."
Unity of Heaven and Man is all well and good, but consuming over five hundred merit points additionally makes it tough to stomach.
Zheng Yichen's strengthening from Dusk required five hundred merit points, and he needs even more. Or to put it another way, everyone's standard for strengthening is different. Why such a difference arises naturally depends on the person.
Some people may inherently possess unique affinities, thus significantly reducing the cost during strengthening, while those without such affinities need to consume more merit points when they do so.
Dusk can make the impossible possible, but there is a charge for it.
