Sparkle Soaks in a Hot Spring, Heaven-Defying Stats!
Deep within the Underworld of Belobog, a newly developed hot spring is steaming with wisps of white mist.
This place was not originally a natural hot spring. Instead, it benefited from the abundant resources brought by the Lin Hai, which led to the abandonment of the old system that relied on Geomarrow heating.
Both energy sources and the devices that use them are being upgraded.
People cleverly utilized the remaining geothermal resources to create a small hot spring.
The walls of the hot spring pool are inlaid with crystals that emit a soft glow, and the water temperature is precisely maintained at a comfortable level.
Lin Hai changed into a loose bathrobe.
Sparkle also donned a bright red bathrobe.
The intense color made her skin appear even whiter than snow, and in the misty vapor, she resembled a brightly blooming spider lily.
She stepped into the hot spring first, the warm water washing over her body, bringing a sigh of contentment.
Lin Hai followed her into the pool and sat down opposite her.
Rippling water, Sparkle leaned lazily against the edge of the pool, her wet hair clinging to her flushed cheeks, water droplets sliding down the graceful lines of her neck.
She noticed Lin Hai's gaze, but instead of feeling shy, she smiled sweetly, her eyes filled with a hint of cunning and provocation.
Sparkle extended her slender fingers and gently pulled open the collar of her bathrobe on one side, revealing her rounded shoulders and delicate collarbone. The movement was natural yet deliberately seductive.
"I told you..." Her voice was slightly hoarse from the moisture, making it even more magnetic, "I'll take care of boosting your morale."
Lin Hai's gaze was deep, his appreciation undisguised, and he stated frankly, "Your very presence right now is the best morale booster."
"Then what are we waiting for?"
Sparkle leaned forward, ripples spreading across the water before her, and pointed to her bare shoulder, "Come kiss me."
However, Lin Hai did not act immediately.
He remained seated quietly, his gaze like the finest carving knife, meticulously tracing the beautiful scene before him.
Sparkle in the hot spring, her black hair spread out like seaweed, the steam blurring her outline, yet making her beauty, a blend of innocence and allure, even more breathtaking.
This beauty, unique and alluring, captivated him completely.
After a while, as if he had admired the artist enough, he finally began to paint, and Lin Hai slowly approached.
He leaned down and gently pressed his warm lips to Sparkle's smooth shoulder.
It was a cherished, restrained kiss.
This kiss was like a signal.
Sparkle were lit.
She stretched out her arms and wrapped them around his neck like water snakes, responding passionately.
She first kissed his cheek, then the corner of his lips, and finally kissed his lips deeply.
It carries an irresistible, fiery passion.
When the kiss ended, she seemed to suddenly become gentle again, lightly kissing his forehead.
Sparkle's kiss is bold, direct, and full of vitality.
Just like her.
They made no attempt to conceal their inner desires and emotions.
In the warm spring water, the two forgot the conflicts of the outside world, leaving only each other's warmth and heartbeat.
Lin Hai leaned against the edge of the hot spring pool, the warm water soothing his nerves.
Suddenly, deep within his consciousness, a panel silently appeared, displaying new information:
[Sparkle's affection level has reached 95]
[Unlock New Achievement: Love as Strong as Gold]
[Gain ability reward: Basic Physique x10]
The brief hint could mean a complete upheaval.
An unprecedented, immense power, like a dormant volcano suddenly awakening, swept through the entire Lin Hai in an instant.
Every single muscle fiber.
Every bone.
It's as if everything is undergoing a fundamental tempering and sublimation under the influence of this force!
After being nourished and strengthened by the Path Power for a long time, Lin Hai's physical fitness had far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.
The terrifying tenfold increase at this moment has pushed him into a completely new realm that even he himself needs to re-evaluate!
Lin Hai clenched his fist slightly, and could clearly feel the surging power within his body, which was incredibly vast and unfathomable.
He even had a hunch that, with the sheer strength of his body, he might already be able to withstand some of Sparkle's conventional attacks without needing to defend himself.
At the same time, Sparkle, who was nestled beside him, also underwent a subtle change due to the complete harmony between their bodies and minds that had just occurred.
All her previous internal and external injuries had healed completely, leaving not a single scar, and her skin was as smooth as jade.
Moreover, Sparkle felt a gentle yet resilient energy flow into her body.
His original strength, speed, and reflexes have all been noticeably improved.
Contract Lucky Star.
The feedback of force is mutual.
"I feel... like I've become a lot stronger." Lin Hai said with a smile, feeling the power flowing through his body.
Sparkle lifted up and laughed, "What a coincidence, me too! I feel light as a feather and full of energy!"
A thought arose in Lin Hai's mind.
He looked at the Sparkle, his eyes gleaming with eager anticipation:
"Come on, try attacking me with your current strength."
Sparkle paused, then instinctively raised her hand, asking hesitantly, "Are you sure? Right here?"
"Absolutely certain." Lin Hai nodded firmly.
"But..." Sparkle was still a little worried, "What if, I mean, what if I don't control my strength and hurt you..."
"Don't worry, go ahead and attack. I know what I'm doing. If the situation changes, I'll naturally dodge."
Seeing Lin Hai's insistence, Sparkle took a deep breath, stepped back, and created a ripple in the hot spring.
Her eyes narrowed, her aura shifted slightly, and she gathered power in her right palm, unleashing a sharp stream of water that swiftly struck Lin Hai's shoulder.
Out of caution, she ultimately only used about 50% of her strength.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, Lin Hai's body slid backward, carving a groove in the hot spring water as he moved, until his back lightly touched the pool wall before he regained his footing.
Water splashed everywhere.
However, the pained expression that Sparkle had anticipated did not appear.
Lin Hai remained standing there steadily, unscathed, with not even a red mark on his shoulder, despite being slightly pushed back.
Lin Hai looked down at his shoulder, his eyes gleaming with surprise.
The defensive power brought by ten times the physique far exceeded his expectations!
Sparkle was completely stunned. She looked at her palm in disbelief, then at Lin Hai was unharmed.
"You... your body... has become this strong?"
"My attack with half my strength... it couldn't even make you feel pain?"
Lin Hai stretched his body, feeling the overflowing power, and couldn't help but say:
"The feeling of constantly pushing your limits and getting stronger... is truly wonderful."
Lin Hai was basically certain that his current combat strength was already close to that of Emanator!
In a friendly sparring session, he was able to exchange Sparkle with Hanabi using his physical strength.
Of course, once they entered a life-or-death struggle, Lin Hai would be unable to contend with the strange and unpredictable methods that Sparkle possessed.
Lin Hai's pure stats have reached the mark, but his skills and abilities still have a considerable gap to close.
