“What’s wrong?”
Noticing Shen Qinghan’s abnormality, Lin Zichen immediately expressed concern.
Shen Qinghan sat up from the mat, her expression frantic as she leaned in close to his ear and whispered, “Xiao Chen, I heard that voice again.”
That voice?
Could it be the voice from the sea?
Thinking of this, Lin Zichen couldn’t help but turn slightly pale.
He quickly found an excuse to leave and took Shen Qinghan to a secluded corner, then asked with a furrowed brow, “Is it that voice from the sea?”
“Yes, it’s the voice from the sea.”
Shen Qinghan tried her best to calm her nerves and continued, “This time I heard the content of the voice clearly, though it was very fragmented. I only caught some clear words, mentioning a great god, revival, the Origin Land, and the like. The voice was just as unsettling as before, making my heart flutter in panic.”
Lin Zichen asked, “Can you still hear the voice now?”
“No, not anymore.”
Shen Qinghan shook her head, feeling a bit frightened in retrospect.
The moment the voice sounded, her heartbeat had accelerated sharply, and a sudden surge of inexplicable fear overwhelmed her, giving her a slight feeling of chest tightness.
Now that the voice had disappeared, her mind finally began to settle down.
After hearing Shen Qinghan’s words, Lin Zichen fell into deep thought.
A great god, revival, the Origin Land?
Her mysterious physique, could it have something to do with the Origin Land?
After pondering for a while, Lin Zichen said to Shen Qinghan, “Our knowledge is too limited, knowing this information we can’t uncover much, but after we understand more about the Origin Land in the future, let’s see what it’s all about.”
“Or maybe after you start university, when you’re more familiar with that cheap master of yours, you could try to probe her about the Origin Land, to see if she knows anything about the sea’s Origin Land.”
“Also, as long as it doesn’t compromise our safety, we could come to the seaside more often in the future to see if we can unearth more information.”
Before, when Shen Qinghan couldn’t understand the voice from the sea, Lin Zichen couldn’t be sure of the situation and didn’t dare take Shen Qinghan near the sea.
But now that Shen Qinghan could understand the voice, and it seemed to bear no malice, just a murmur, he felt that in the future, it would be suitable to bring Shen Qinghan here to dig for secrets.
As long as they didn’t enter the water, just standing on the shore might allow them to hear the murmur and thus dig up more useful information, unveiling the secrets of Shen Qinghan’s special physique.
The two exchanged thoughts in the corner and soon returned to He Yu and Li Chuxin.
After sunbathing, everyone gathered together for a barbecue lunch.
Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan weren’t in the mood for barbecue, their minds occupied with the voice from the sea.
Thinking of staying at the seaside to see if they could hear the voice again.
However, they waited until nightfall, when it was time to leave the seaside and head home, but Shen Qinghan hadn’t heard the murmur from the sea again.
At night, inside the room.
Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan played with their phones while chatting about the voice they heard at the seaside during the day.
Having discussed for a while without reaching any conclusions, they soon stopped.
They went about their own business, like an old married couple, in the room.
Lin Zichen put down his phone, got out of bed, and sat at the desk to flip through “Blood Tempering Technique,” studying the step of Bone Tempering seriously.
Shen Qinghan lay on the bed, using Lin Zichen’s phone to watch second-dimensional educational videos, her cute face blushing at the occasional cheer coming from the earphones.
At this moment, both were earnestly studying the knowledge they craved, though the topics of their studies differed.
Approaching 10 o’clock at night.
Lin Zichen successfully grasped the technique of Bone Tempering and without wasting a moment, began his first session of Bone Tempering.
The bones of an adult are divided into three main parts.
They are, 29 cranial bones, 51 torso bones, and 126 limb bones.
The head is the most crucial part, as well as the most fragile.
Therefore, Lin Zichen prioritized the cranial bones, to enhance the defense of his head.
[You are using Qi-Blood to temper your bones; bone strength +1, proficiency in Blood Tempering Technique +1…]
Bone Tempering is much harder than Tempering Skin or Tempering Flesh.
The process is incredibly painful.
First, one must control the Qi-Blood to penetrate the bones, then maintain the Qi-Blood flowing back and forth inside, creating intense pain that is hardly bearable.
After less than half an hour of tempering, Lin Zichen was sweating cold beads and turned pale from pain.
It felt as if his skull were being pierced with steel needles, sending jolts of sharp pain intermittently.
And for enduring such agony, he had only tempered the smallest of the cranial bones, with 28 more to go.
“Bone Tempering really is tormenting…”
Lin Zichen muttered to himself and then, braving the pain, continued to temper the rest of his cranial bones.
Setting a small goal for himself, he aimed to complete the tempering of all 29 cranial bones within five days, achieving an indestructible head, so he would no longer need to wear a helmet when going out fishing.
Closing in on midnight.
Lin Zichen had painstakingly tempered three cranial bones.
By this time, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and his breathing became a bit chaotic, unable to continue the tempering.
He had to stop and rest, or his head would hurt to the point of losing consciousness.
“Xiao Chen, why are you sweating so much?”
Having just finished watching an educational video, Shen Qinghan noticed Lin Zichen drenched in sweat and felt very puzzled.
Catching his breath, Lin Zichen explained, “I was just using Qi-Blood for Bone Tempering. The pain was quite outrageous, and it made me sweat profusely.”
“Is it that exaggerated?”
Shen Qinghan was somewhat surprised.
Regaining her senses, she quickly got out of bed, took a few tissues to Lin Zichen, and tenderly wiped the sweat from his face.
