Chapter 9: Hale and Hearty Pill

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Bai sneezed suddenly.

He frowned and pinched his nose, which was a little sore, feeling very uncomfortable.

At this moment, a notification sound suddenly rang in his mind.

[Ding! Contract partner Su Zi has consumed a medicinal pill. You received a 10x critical hit rebate and a Hale and Hearty Pill. Would you like to claim your reward?]

'Here comes the treasure!'

Lin Bai sat up immediately and quickly checked the system interface.

[Hale and Hearty Pill: After taking the Hale and Hearty Pill, children will be reborn, and young people will be energetic. Even if an elder in his 70s consumes it, he can regain his former glory and show his heroic spirit!]

'What kind of nonsense is this?!'

Even though the introduction was a little ridiculous, it was a product of the system after all, and it would definitely not lie to Lin Bai.

The next second, a pill appeared out of thin air and fell into Lin Bai's palm.

Lin Bai held it in his hand and examined it carefully.

Even though he was in the dark, the pill emitted a fluorescent light that radiated to his surroundings.

Moreover, the light was not weak. It was even brighter than the average firefly.

Lin Bai knew that this was the result of the herbs absorbing the essence of the sun and moon.

The brighter the light, the more essence from heaven and earth the pill had sealed.

This was the origin power, which could be rapidly converted by the human body!

Usually, it would be good enough for ordinary pills to have the intensity of this fluorescent light.

"I hope it's not chocolate-flavored..."

In order to prevent the essence from being wasted, Lin Bai gulped it down in one go.

The pill melted in his mouth, and he did not even need to drink water.

He only felt a warm and moist feeling sliding down his esophagus.

It passed through his stomach and intestines before suddenly exploding!

Lin Bai's eyes widened...

He instantly felt that he had sublimated.

Countless warm currents surged through his stomach, flowing into his limbs and bones.

This feeling was countless times more comfortable than being exposed to the sun in the cold winter.

It was as if he had just enjoyed a very high-quality full-body massage!

"Didn't they say that it would hurt if one took medicine? And that there'll be side effects?"

Lin Bai was a little confused.

However, he soon felt relieved.

It was Su Zi's Body of Medicines!

She could be immune to the negative effects of medicines!

Apart from the side effects, she could also take the pain away!

Lin Bai was secretly pleased.

Such an experience was simply too wonderful!

He opened the system interface and saw that there was indeed an improvement.

[Realm: Mortal Body stage 7]

Lin Bai's physique had increased by 33 points!

He had trained his body for so many years. At such a young age, his muscles were at the point of perfection with obvious lines. He was not inferior to the bodybuilders of his body size in his previous life.

Even so, his physique still did not reach the standard of a martial artist.

Now, the pill he gained from the system's rebate had allowed him to gain an effect that far exceeded the effect of many years of hard work.

He could not accept the stark contrast.

Lin Bai lowered his head and looked at his abdomen.

'Hmm... My muscles didn't seem to have changed much, so where's the improvement?

'Could it be my strength and the toughness of my skin?'

Lin Bai was very serious in his theory class. He knew that the physique attribute was a large category. One could be improved in many ways.

He could not wait to run to the small forest outside his house and start trying.

In the beginning, Lin Bai brought his protective gear.

After all, he was still in the Mortal Body realm, and his physical body was not strong.

Unlike martial artists who had a body of steel, he could not penetrate steel plates with his bare hands without being hurt by steel blades.

That being said, when Lin Bai saw his punch land on a rock and how the rock and his boxing glove crumbled at the same time…

He knew that his actions were unnecessary.

His protective gear was as fragile as a rock.

It simply could not withstand the force he had used.

Lin Bai decided to train empty-handed.

From little to more force, and from testing on weak to strong materials.

Lin Bai discovered that the things in the forest simply could not help him determine his limit!

He broke a wide tree trunk with one punch!

A huge rock as tall as two people was shattered by him with one punch!

It was even crushed into bits!

'It seems like I have to go to school and use special equipment to know the data.'

Lin Bai was not in a hurry.

In any case, this round of practice confirmed that his improvement was very huge.

What he had just done not only met the requirements of a martial artist but also far exceeded them.

Especially in terms of strength, it was simply heaven-defying.

He was probably on par with an elite student of the First Academy!

'All that is left is agility.

Lin Bai turned around and returned home. He ordered a sumptuous takeaway as a reward for himself, and after eating, he immediately fell asleep.

Some people were heartless, while others could not sleep at night.

The pigtailed girl had untied her hair, and her black hair was scattered messily on the pillow. As she tossed and turned, her hair began to interweave and became knotted.

This sentence had unknowingly become Su Zi's catchphrase.

She lifted the thin blanket in frustration and kicked it away as if she was venting her anger, kicking it to the side of the bed.

However, without the blanket, she felt like she had no place to vent her power.

Lin Bai's face appeared in Su Zi's mind, and she gritted her teeth.

As soon as she left the swimming pool, she called someone to search the place to see if there was any hidden camera equipment.

Furthermore, he had a specialist check Lin Bai's phone thoroughly.

The result she got made her feel very helpless.

Lin Bai did not do anything.

He did not take any photos, nor did he share his schedule on social media to show off his swimming with the campus belle.

It was as if he was just a passerby. After Su Zi entered the swimming pool, he also just went in to swim...

Su Zi could not accept this.

'How can I take revenge on you?!'

When Su Zi thought about how Lin Bai had said her chest was small in a teasing tone that morning, she felt terrible.

She angrily lifted her nightdress and looked inside carefully.

'My skin is fair and smooth, and my breasts are full!'

Su Zi could not help but say, "Small?

"You couldn't even see clearly when I was standing in front of you!

"I'll definitely teach you a lesson tomorrow!"

In a certain corner of the city.

Lin Bai, who was in deep sleep, seemed to have felt something. He turned over and stroked his belly with his big hand for a while. His face was full of smiles, and he seemed to be having some kind of sweet dream...
