Hearing that Han Lang showed signs of breakthrough, everyone was overjoyed.
They all had a deep understanding of Han Lang's cultivation.
If he broke through now, he would enter the Nascent Soul stage.
Ma Long was the first to be happy for Han Lang.
"Really? That's great. Little Sir, breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage is no small matter. You go to the side and complete your breakthrough first, leave this place to us for now!"
Tang Geng, Tang Qin, and Zhao Wu also quickly agreed.
"Yes! We'll handle things here, no one will disturb you. You can focus on your breakthrough with peace of mind?"
Liu Xiaoxiao also chimed in with advice on breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.
"You need to be careful, Han Lang. Dissolving the Golden Core to break through to Nascent Soul requires immense spiritual energy, so you must be prepared. If you have anything to replenish it, don't be stingy. Otherwise, if you fail, you don't know when you'll encounter such an opportunity again."
Shan Nan also added.
"Yes. You can rest assured here. Do you have enough Spirit Replenishing Pills with you? How about we give you ours!"
Han Lang was touched, and at the same time, he shook his head.
"I have nearly a hundred Spirit Replenishing Pills here, which should be enough. I'll leave this to you for now. Give me some time, and I'll be able to rejoin the battle soon!"
After speaking, Han Lang no longer hesitated. He immediately retreated, moving to a safe corner within the base, and focused on his breakthrough.
It wasn't that he didn't want to communicate more with everyone, but at this moment, he could already clearly feel the Golden Core within his body cracking.
This was like a pregnant woman who had been pregnant for ten months about to give birth; there was no time for any other preparations.
Upon reaching the safe corner, Han Lang immediately sat cross-legged. While carefully observing the state of the Golden Core within his body, he frantically circulated the "Mortal Cultivation Art," gathering spiritual energy from his surroundings into his dantian for the Nascent Soul to absorb as it broke through the core.
The Golden Core seemed to sense the surge of spiritual energy around it, and with a "crackling" sound, it began to crack even faster.
However, after only a moment, the spiritual energy in the dantian was instantly absorbed by the Golden Core, and the cracking sound immediately slowed down.
Han Lang was shocked and immediately took out a Spirit Replenishing Pill and swallowed it.
As the spiritual energy entered his body, the Golden Core began to crack at a normal speed again, but for some reason, the spiritual energy from one Spirit Replenishing Pill was instantly absorbed.
In contrast, after absorbing one Spirit Replenishing Pill, the Golden Core had only cracked a little bit more!
Han Lang was astonished!
"What's going on? Is the speed of absorbing spiritual energy so fast when breaking through to Nascent Soul? At this rate, if I eat Spirit Replenishing Pills one by one, won't it be too slow?"
Thinking this, Han Lang did not hesitate for a moment. He immediately took out all the Spirit Replenishing Pills he had and, like eating, stuffed them into his mouth handful by handful.
Ma Long, who witnessed this scene, was stunned.
"Damn! Do you need to consume so much to break through to Nascent Soul? What kind of family can afford this kind of consumption!"
Hearing Ma Long's exclamation, everyone turned back.
Just as they saw Han Lang's exaggerated action of swallowing Spirit Replenishing Pills, they were all shocked.
"You're right, this kind of approach, for ordinary people, without special spiritual veins or the support of a spirit gathering array at a front-line base, ordinary people really can't break through!"
Tang Geng's words were immediately refuted by Tang Qin.
"Hey, big brother. Do you think the spiritual energy contained in one Spirit Replenishing Pill is the amount that a large spirit gathering array at the base can absorb in one second? In my opinion, even with the support of spiritual veins or spirit gathering arrays, it might not have such an effect, right?"
Zhao Wu agreed.
"That's right! Unless both are combined. Otherwise, it's impossible to satisfy Han Lang's consumption method!"
After speaking, he looked at Liu Xiaoxiao and asked.
"Political Commissar Liu, does breaking through the Golden Core really require so much spiritual energy?"
Liu Xiaoxiao glanced at it and replied.
"About that! If Han Lang is just sensing the first signs of the Golden Core cracking and intends to break through all at once, then it indeed requires at least this much spiritual energy!"
Tang Geng immediately found a clue from Liu Xiaoxiao's words and quickly asked.
"Political Commissar Liu, you mean you have sensed the feeling of the core cracking more than once when you broke through to Nascent Soul?"
Before Liu Xiaoxiao could answer, Shan Nan quickly explained.
"Of course! Every time you sense the feeling of the core cracking, it's when your body can absorb a large amount of spiritual energy. Now that the spiritual energy on Blue Star is scarce, sensing it once is not enough to complete the breakthrough. Everyone almost has to accumulate it several times. So, whether Han Lang can break through this time, I still hold a very strong conservative opinion. If he didn't have so many Spirit Replenishing Pills, I really wouldn't advise him to break through now!"
Hearing Shan Nan's explanation, everyone finally gained some understanding of the spiritual energy required to break through from Golden Core to Nascent Soul.
At the same time, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts.
"Damn, then in the future when we break through, won't we also have uncertain factors like Han Lang?"
"I really don't know how many times Deputy Officer Shan and the others sensed the feeling of the core cracking before they finally completed their breakthrough without the support of Spirit Replenishing Pills!"
While everyone was thinking, Han Lang had already swallowed all the more than a hundred Spirit Replenishing Pills in his hand.
He thought that such a vast amount of spiritual energy should be enough to completely crack the Golden Core and allow the Nascent Soul to emerge from the core.
But unexpectedly, the spiritual energy contained in more than a hundred Spirit Replenishing Pills only resulted in more cracks on the Golden Core.
Even more than half of it showed no signs of cracking at all.
Seeing this situation, Han Lang couldn't help but feel anxious.
He didn't know how many times Liu Xiaoxiao and the others had sensed the core cracking before they finally broke through.
Therefore, as the spiritual energy within his body was completely depleted, and the Golden Core still waited to be fed like a bottomless pit, he completely panicked.
At the same time, it wasn't just Han Lang who was surprised.
Liu Xiaoxiao, who had been paying attention to him, was also full of shock.
He exclaimed immediately.
"Not good! These more than a hundred Spirit Replenishing Pills are not enough. Han Lang is about to run out of power!"
Hearing this exclamation, Shan Nan also quickly turned back to check.
After understanding the situation, he hesitated for a moment and immediately shouted.
"The spiritual energy has been absorbed. This is the most critical moment. Who among you will quickly send some Spirit Replenishing Pills to Han Lang!"
As soon as Shan Nan finished speaking, Ma Long immediately punched away the esper in front of him, and then without any hesitation, went to Han Lang and handed him the more than a hundred Spirit Replenishing Pills he had.
Seeing Ma Long's worried expression and his unreserved offering of all his Spirit Replenishing Pills, Han Lang was deeply moved.
He did not stand on ceremony. He immediately grabbed the Spirit Replenishing Pills in Ma Long's hands and stuffed them into his mouth handful by handful. When only about ten were left, he said gratefully to Ma Long.
"Keep the rest for the battle!"
Then he continued to close his eyes and refine the spiritual energy.
Ma Long didn't say much, just nodded slightly, and then returned to the ranks of fighting espers.
