Chapter 43: Nothing Special
The "bottleneck period" for a Transcendent is a common and widespread phenomenon, typically manifesting as stagnation in strength, an inability to master abilities, difficulties in absorbing knowledge, and so on.
The causes of bottlenecks are also numerous and complex. It could be that the abilities achievable at the current stage have reached their limit, requiring another "Transcendence" to advance to a deeper level of the system; or perhaps poor mental state and substandard learning capacity make it impossible to grasp further knowledge and abilities.
