Chapter 121: A Day Of Rest And Choices
Han Yu, through sheer survival instinct, ate the gruel.
And then, slowly, he felt it.
A warm, potent current surged through his veins.Stronger, denser, heavier than anything he had ever felt before.
He sat up—barely—and checked his core with trembling focus.His body vibrated faintly, the way a storm cloud hums with lightning before a strike.The vital energy in his body had multiplied several-fold.
His bones were tougher.His muscles, denser.His skin, almost faintly radiant.
"Wait, denser bones?" Han Yu was surprised before realizing what had just happened.
He had broken through.
Not just a little.
He was now at the Tenth Stage of the Body Tempering Realm!
The tenth stage of the Body Tempering Realm involved the tempering of bones and marrow. While he couldn’t exactly feel his marrow, he could certainly tell his bones were a lot tougher.
They felt heavier, and Han Yu could tell the difference when he moved his hands. But his breakthrough was not enough excitement to drown out the terror from earlier.
