Therefore, it is necessary to add gravity runes to these weapons or pieces of armor. This is especially true for Martial Practitioners at or above the Martial General level. A First-Rank Martial General already possesses a physical strength of one hundred thousand jin, making a three-thousand-jin weapon feel as light as a feather and completely inadequate for unleashing their true combat potential.
Consequently, gravity runes must be inscribed onto these weapons or armor to increase their weight, thereby providing advanced Martial Practitioners with a better feel when handling their weapons. At the same time, this is an effective way to boost a weapon's attacking power—the striking force of a twenty-jin weapon naturally differs vastly from that of a two-thousand-jin weapon. This is precisely the critical reason why the earth-water gravity rune ranks last among the fundamental attribute runes.
As the inscription of the gravity rune progressed deeper, Prince of Shicheng Hua Tianxiong once again felt a massive drain on his spiritual power. Although he was operating both the Star Realm Formula and the Concentration Formula, the depletion of his spiritual energy was no slower than the loss incurred when refining second-tier pills. In fact, it was even slightly faster than the spiritual energy consumed in refining second-tier Foundation Establishment Pills. Naturally, the consumption of mental energy was even faster, running twice as fast as that consumed during pill alchemy.
