Chapter 37: Why Temper Your Body To Such Extent?

"What an incredibly sturdy body," the expert murmured again, his voice echoing clearly across the distance. Then, he sighed, a sound filled with genuine pity. "But what a supreme waste of time."

Lin Yuan slowly descended from the sky, his feet touching down a few dozen paces away from the expert. He did not speak. He merely circulated his qi, letting the dense spiritual energy soothe his body.

"I watched you, you know," the Nascent Soul expert continued, slowly pacing back and forth with his hands clasped behind his back. "Not just for the seven days you sat on my porch, but before that. I saw you slaughtering the beasts of this mountain. I saw you eating their raw marrow like a starving savage, subjecting your flesh to the agonizing crucible of body forging. You endured pain that would shatter a normal man's mind, all to temper your body."
