Chapter 524: 80% Mastery

"I'll comprehend the River of Knowledge first…" Maximus decided.

If he chose to upgrade his physique to Rank 12 first, it would take him over 2.3 thousand years. 

Coupled with mastering the River of Knowledge, which would take another 7-8 thousand years, it would take him about 10 thousand years to achieve his strongest state before advancing to the Tier 11 realm.

On the other hand, if he comprehended the River of Knowledge first, it would take him 7-8 thousand years, plus another 2 years to upgrade his physique to Rank 12. 

Saving 2-3 thousand years, Maximus obviously chose the latter.

"The only problem is the consumption for the enhanced comprehension…" Maximus thought with a frown.

Fortunately, insights about a solution quickly appeared in his mind.
