Body Refinement, Sixth Stage

"Father, I will definitely go back, without a doubt!"

Lin Han's face suddenly became resolute, and his fist clenched tightly.

Lin Han didn't know how he had suddenly arrived in this world. But he did know that he had to find a way to return.

No matter the cost, Lin Han was determined to return. And for now, until he found a way back, he had to figure out how to survive in this unknown parallel world.

At this stage, Lin Han still believed that he needed to understand the peculiarities of the black vortex.

After all, the black vortex had stayed the same for sixteen years. Why did it suddenly exhibit changes after devouring the pills made from those green fruits?

This transformation turned Lin Han from an individual incapable of martial arts into a second-stage Body Refinement martial artist. Such a change was nothing short of astonishing.

"I wonder what these green spirit fruits are and why my cultivation will be grown when the black vortex consumes them."

Lin Han shook his head, keeping these thoughts close to his heart, and then turned his gaze toward the green fruits.

After consuming two pills made from these green fruits, Lin Han had gleaned some insights. The pills made from these green fruits could be devoured by the black vortex within him, resulting in an increase in his cultivation.

Moreover, apart from cultivation, Lin Han also felt that his physical strength seemed to be increasing.

What were these green fruits? Why did they possess such miraculous effects? Why, when they turned into pills and were devoured by the black vortex, his cultivation would increase, and even his physical strength would be enhanced?

"If that's the case, and since I know nothing, why not... refine all these green fruits into pills and consume them, to see what it will turn me into?"

Lin Han's eyes fixated on the green fruits, and a sudden madness flickered in his gaze.

It must be acknowledged that this was an insane idea.

Truly mad.

The pain that resulted from consuming the pills made from these green fruits, even just once, made Lin Han shudder involuntarily from deep within.

There were at least a dozen of these green fruits.

It was easy to imagine the torment Lin Han would endure if he consumed so many pills made from these green fruits.

"I have no choice. I need to become stronger and survive in this world. Only after that may I find a way back and reunite with my father and the others."

Lin Han, though trembling as he spoke, conveyed his unwavering determination.

Taking a deep breath, he plucked another green fruit and turned it into a pill.

For now, the only hope lay in surviving in this world. Even though the chances were slim, being alive was the only way to have hope.

Lin Han took a deep breath and swallowed a black pill.

Time passed slowly.

As Lin Han consumed one pill after another, only he knew the sensations surging through his body.

Lin Han continued to swallow these black pills, and his cultivation soared at a frantic pace.

However, the pain he endured was immense, and by the end, his body had faint traces of blood on the surface.

Until the very end, Lin Han had transformed into a bloodied figure, lying on the ground and twitching as if he were near death.

Lin Han endured this torturous pain, then swallowed the last black pill.

At this point, all the green spirit fruits on the plants had been turned into pills and ingested by Lin Han.

Lin Han remembered it very clearly; there were a total of nineteen pills.

In other words, Lin Han had gone through nineteen times of hellish torment.

Now, Lin Han was far from resembling a human, nor a ghost.

Upon swallowing the final black pill, Lin Han's body convulsed violently.

His face contorted with immense pain, his brows furrowed, and blood began to seep from his pores.

Lin Han's complexion was ashen, and his face was twisted in agony.

Fortunately, this torment lasted for about ten seconds before finally coming to an end. Lin Han was able to put an end to this hellish torment.

Lin Han's eyes were unfocused, and his body was drenched in sweat, blood, and black residue. Everything had blended together, rendering Lin Han unable to see clearly.

At this moment, Lin Han didn't even have the strength to wipe his face.

His spirit was exhausted to the extreme, and his appearance was appalling. However, there was a faint smile on his face.

After enduring this torment for most of the day, Lin Han had gained a lot.

He had reached the sixth stage of Body Refinement, to be precise, the peak of the sixth stage, just one step away from breaking through to the seventh stage of Body Refinement.

This was an astonishing feat.

In one day, Lin Han had gone from being a martial arts incapable individual to a genius at the peak of the sixth stage of Body Refinement.

Similarly, Lin Han's physical strength had been enhanced to the extreme.

Now, Lin Han felt that his physical strength might even surpass his cultivation.

Lin Han could sense that his physical strength was nearly invincible below the Mortal Martial realm!

At this moment, Lin Han felt wave after wave of unprecedented strength surging through his body.

This feeling was truly exhilarating.

Invincible below the Mortal Martial realm meant that Lin Han's body was now as hard as iron, nearly indestructible. In the eyes of martial artists at the Body Refinement stage, Lin Han's body was as tough as a fortress.

With such a body and cultivation, Lin Han was overjoyed, not for any other reason but one word—worthy.

Though Lin Han was unsure whether his current cultivation could be considered genius in this world, as it was different from Earth, he knew that his growth speed was definitely miraculous.

"Father... I haven't let you down!" Lin Han smiled, thinking of his father and how he had spent countless sleepless nights worrying about his inability to practice martial arts.

Lying on the ground, after a while, Lin Han gradually regained his composure.

Just as he felt that it was about time to get up, he heard a voice.

"Big brother, what are you doing here?"

It was a young, childlike voice—a little girl's voice.

Upon hearing this, Lin Han was overjoyed. It had been nearly a whole day, and finally, he had encountered another person.

Lin Han quickly got up from the ground. At this point, his body had fully recovered.

If someone else had suffered injuries like his, it would likely take them months to even get out of bed. However, Lin Han had fully healed after just an hour, indicating the incredible strength of his body.

Standing up, he saw a little girl, a very cute one, looking to be around six or seven years old.

"Little sister, big brother has lost his memory. Where is this place?"

Upon seeing this little girl, Lin Han smiled, reminded of his own sister's cuteness, which touched his heart.

Right now, Lin Han had no idea about this world, so the best approach was to pretend to have lost his memory.

"Memory loss? Big brother, you're so pitiful. This is Yun City, and I am from the Shen family in Yun City. My name is Shen Menglu. How did you enter our Shen family's grassland? It's strange; aren't there guards around the grassland?"

Shen Menglu wore an adorable expression.

Despite seeing Lin Han, who was covered in blood and sweat, she showed no sign of shock or fear. Instead, she looked at him with sympathy, her cute little mouth pouting.

"Shen family in Yun City?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Han couldn't help but repeat this critical information. At the same time, he learned that the place he was in was the Shen family's grassland.

Just as he was about to ask more questions, Lin Han noticed another young woman walking toward them.

"Menglu, what are you doing here?"

The young woman looked at Shen Menglu with a loving expression, showing her deep affection for her.

Turning around, the young woman noticed Lin Han, and her expression changed. She asked, "Who are you, and to which family do you belong?"

At this moment, Lin Han was stunned. He swore that he had never seen such a beautiful girl in his life.

The young woman was dressed in a white gown, with long, jet-black hair flowing down to her back. Her skin was as clear as jade.

Her appearance was like the full moon—flawless and radiant. She had bright, beautiful eyes, a straight and delicate nose, a pointed chin, and a graceful, slender neck. There wasn't a single blemish on her entire being.

She exuded an aura of wisdom and purity, making her seem like a divine maiden.
