Chapter 23: A Drunk Man’s Rambling And His Cursed Treasure
A few minutes later, Han Yu was done and felt the energy smoothly flowing through his muscles.
He was at the Sixth Stage of the Body Tempering Realm, where the muscles were tempered. Unlike the first through third stages, which focused on toughening the skin for increased defense, the muscle tempering stages focused on enhancing raw strength.
The results were quite promising—Han Yu felt like he could lift a hundred-kilogram rock with ease!
Feeling overly enthusiastic (and slightly delusional), he decided to put his newfound strength to the test.
"HIYAAAAA!" Han Yu grunted as he gripped a fallen tree trunk and attempted to lift it.
He barely managed to raise it an inch before his arms trembled violently, and he was forced to let go.
THUD!
"Okay... not that strong yet," Han Yu admitted, collapsing onto the ground, panting.
"You think you'd grow strong in just a couple of days? Hic~" the ghostly man slurred, his tongue already tangled from the wine.
"Don't cultivators grow instantly stronger after breakthroughs?" Han Yu asked, still recovering.
"Hah! You think you're a cultivator already!? As if!" The ghostly man burst into laughter, his voice sending chills down Han Yu's spine.
