This situation finally allowed Elara's tense nerves and body to relax a little.
With the nourishing energy inside her filling her up, she finally had the time to think carefully.
After running around several more bends with her now lightened body, she looked up and saw the screen above her head marked that she had broken through her limit.
She could feel various kinds of recovery and healing powers constantly surging from within her.
Her physical abilities were improving more and more clearly as she ran.
Elara suddenly snapped back to awareness and realized where this sudden surge of immense power inside her had come from.
It wasn't from the medicine she had taken today, but from all the rare treasures Oswyn had given her in the past.
And also from the immense energy stored in the golden elixirs she had received from her white-robed master in the Valley of Divine Healers.
When Elara first arrived in this body, it was extremely weak, almost one step into the underworld.
She got through that initial period only because of the pain-blocking feature from the System.
Later, with Oswyn's medicinal care and after consuming many rare and precious holy medicines, this body gradually recovered.
She also gained vast and deep inner strength from those rare treasures and holy medicines.
However, even though that inner strength was powerful, it was obtained in a "non-traditional" way.
Compared to people like Uno and others who had built a solid martial foundation from a young age, training bit by bit to gain inner power,
Elara, though she suddenly had that much powerful inner strength, her energy was still somewhat hollow in comparison to these real martial artists with firm foundations.
And it wasn't just the inner strength from those rare medicines that was slightly unstable.
Even the vast medicinal power inside those holy medicines had not been completely absorbed by Elara's body.
Until now, during this breakthrough training that pushed her to the limit, Elara, driven by an instinct to survive, finally activated all the immense medicinal energy that had been stored and unused in her body.
The powerful and vast energy now flowing nonstop from within her body was exactly what she hadn't absorbed before.
As this medicinal energy surged out, it brought with it deep and powerful inner strength again.
Unfortunately, her current inner strength was sealed.
Otherwise, this explosive and rapid growth in inner strength was something Elara could have directly experienced.
Besides the huge hidden medicinal energy inside her finally being activated, in the past three months, her inner strength had increased so quickly that her martial foundation had been a bit unstable.
Her natural speed and endurance, for example, had now been forced to strengthen and stabilize through this breakthrough.
It was like solidifying the foundation of a house, making it firm and steady.
As a result, her overall strength rose to a whole new level.
Realizing this, even though Elara was still physically exhausted, she felt instantly cheerful when she sensed her own growth.
This trip to the hidden training was really worth it.
Even though she still hadn't seen any divine vein blessing yet, just the training improvement alone made the journey worthwhile.
This kind of full-range high-tech specialized training didn't exist anywhere outside this world.
She had previously activated the learning boost just to quickly improve her strength to handle the Blood Garment Tower's top three assassins on the Heaven List after the state banquet.
Now, with this breakthrough training, Elara felt that once her inner strength was unsealed, the seventh level of Divine Spirit Mystic Art, which she had been trying to reach, would no longer be far away.
Once she stepped into the seventh level of Divine Spirit Mystic Art, her strength would grow several times stronger.
Her rank among the Blood Garment Tower assassins would rise by dozens of places, possibly even putting her directly into the top ten on the Heaven List.
If that happened, her chances of winning against the top three Heaven List assassins from Blood Garment Tower in Jingshi Kingdom would greatly increase.
Thinking about it, the painful and stuffy feeling inside Elara's body, caused by the previous exhaustion, disappeared completely.
Even the rumbling sound of the giant boulder rolling and chasing behind her began to sound pleasant.
If not for this forced breakthrough, she wouldn't have realized how much powerful medicinal energy had remained unabsorbed in her body.
However, although this breakthrough activated some of the stored power inside her, it only stirred a small portion.
A larger amount of inner power and medicinal energy was still buried deep inside, needing more stimulation to awaken and become active.
Elara looked back at the massive rock, then gathered her energy again and sped up.
As she sprinted forward, she used the pressure of being chased to continue absorbing and digesting the power stirred up within her.
But perhaps since she had already achieved the purpose of the speed and endurance training through this breakthrough, the giant rock no longer increased its speed to pursue her.
It simply helped her finish absorbing the overflowing medicinal energy and inner strength, then gradually slowed down and brought an end to this thrilling training escape.
The mechanical voice sounded again: [Congratulations. You've completed the speed and endurance training. Round 1 training sessions used: 1 out of 2. Sessions remaining: 9.5 rounds.]
[Next is the specialized training in strength and agility. Please be prepared. Have enough healing and recovery potions ready. Once the training begins, it cannot be interrupted.]
After tasting the benefit of this breakthrough, even though the process of being drained was like going through hell, once Elara's body had almost fully recovered, she stood up excitedly and tapped [Begin Training] once again.
The strength and agility training was similar to speed and endurance. It used near-death scenarios to force her to keep using her strength and sharpen her agility.
This continued until her body was squeezed of its last bit of energy and stamina. Then the scenario became even more brutal, pushing Elara to burst out her survival instincts and rely on pure will to break through.
This kind of training was truly hellish, but also extremely effective.
After another round of near-collapse, Elara gritted her teeth and endured it, and again heard the faint cracking sound inside her body.
A few seconds later, the familiar light feeling spread through her body, and an overwhelming amount of medicinal energy surged again.
[Ping. Congratulations. You've completed the strength and agility training. Round 1 training sessions used up. Sessions remaining: 9 rounds.]
[Next is the second round of speed and strength training. Please be prepared. Have enough healing and recovery potions ready. Once the training begins, it cannot be interrupted.]
After enjoying another breakthrough, though Elara's entire body felt as if her bones had been shattered and rebuilt, she still pushed her sore and aching body off the ground.
She raised her hand and pushed back her sweat-soaked long hair from her forehead, revealing a flushed, pale face covered in sweat.
Her bright eyes stared straight at the floating translucent screen in midair. "Continue."
[Training begins.]
Round after round of training kept launching without stopping.
The weight on Elara's body also kept increasing with each breakthrough.
She felt like she had been floating in and out of the sweet torment of life and death for a long time.
Each new training session felt like a descent into hell.
But once she gritted her teeth and made it through, the exit always led to a bright paradise.
After every round, she could clearly feel that her body had become significantly stronger than in the previous round.
This kind of visible growth in power was like an irresistible poison for someone as ambitious as Elara, making her addicted and unable to stop.
So, after completing five full rounds of training, and with the weight on her body already increased to 50KG, the test standard, even when the mechanical voice reminded her that her body's stats had reached the required level to attempt the formal assessment, Elara still refused.
"Continue training."
This high-tech and focused, efficient training was rare.
If she missed this chance, it wouldn't come again.
There were ten rounds in total. She had used half of them and her power had already grown so much.
And the remaining dormant medicinal energy inside her had only been half activated.
There was no way Elara would give that up.
She wanted to seize every bit of it in the remaining sessions, leaving nothing unused.
Although the mechanical voice didn't have real intelligence, it still fully respected Elara's decision when it came to launching training sessions.
[Ping. Command received. Round 6 of training will begin shortly. Please prepare healing and recovery potions. Once the training begins, it cannot be interrupted.]
Training began again. The difficulty had increased many times compared to the first round.
Elara's bodyweight load also kept rising beyond the 50KG mark, reaching even heavier levels.
This was the advantage of specialized high-tech training.
It could adjust the training difficulty in real-time based on the participant's power to keep the training efficient.
