「A few days later.」
Dusk fell once more as the sun dipped below the horizon.
The lingering glow of sunset streamed through the window, falling upon the second-floor training hall of the Jinshi Boxing Hall.
SPLASH!
As the figure within the wooden tub stood up, the medicinal bath churned, sending water splashing.
Having finished another session of training his Rock Martial Skill, Lu Chao let out a long, heavy breath. He felt much of the pain in his body dissipate at that moment.
It was replaced by a strange, tingling soreness that spread through his skin, muscles, and bones, giving him an irresistible urge to scratch.
'Almost there.'
His eyes shone brightly. Lu Chao endured the discomfort, knowing full well what it meant.
It was a sign that his Rock Martial Skill was on the verge of a breakthrough. The tingling and soreness meant his muscles, bones, and skin were gradually transforming, like a wound forming a scab as it healed, growing back even stronger.
