Heaven Defying Comprehension, Body Tempering Stage Sixth Level!

Lin Fan was stunned when he saw what Lin Dong did.

Heaven knew, he absolutely had no designs on the Ancestral Stone in Lin Dong's hands!

Lin Fan had made up that story only to make it easier to guide Lin Dong in the future, helping him develop the Ancestral Stone's abilities as soon as possible so that he could get a share of the benefits.

It was also meant to lay the groundwork for him displaying foresight in the future.

Looking at Lin Dong's serious little face, Lin Fan shook his head with a laugh. "You don't think I made up that story because I wanted your Stone Talisman, do you? The Stone Talisman in your hand isn't the one from my memories."

"This Stone Talisman is even more mysterious and profound than that one. It might even be the true Heavenly Divine Object, the Ancestral Stone! Keep it well hidden. Other than the three of us, don't let anyone else know."

Lin Dong hurriedly said, "I never meant that."

In truth, that thought really had crossed Lin Dong's mind, though it had vanished in an instant!

With a sorrowful expression, Lin Fan said faintly, "The memories that suddenly appeared in my mind have left me deeply uneasy. I originally hadn't planned to tell anyone, afraid that people would see me as a monster."

"But Qing Tan was in critical condition just now. I couldn't stand by and watch her suffer, so I pointed out the Stone Talisman's purpose. If an Imitation could do it, then there was no reason a true Heavenly Divine Object couldn't."

"Besides, I wanted you to understand the gravity of this matter. An Imitation alone allowed the me from that lifetime to achieve astonishing success and draw the covetous eyes of countless experts. All the more so when your Stone Talisman is very likely a true Heavenly Divine Object!"

Seeing Lin Fan like this, Qing Tan hurried forward and hugged him. "Brother Lin Fan, don't overthink it. You're not some monster. All I know is that you're the Brother Lin Fan who loves me most."

Perhaps because they were both orphans in this life, and because Lin Fan often stood up for Qing Tan, the relationship between Qing Tan and Lin Fan was much closer.

Lin Dong could only rank second.

Lin Fan's words and actions just now made Qing Tan even more grateful to him.

Though ashamed, Lin Dong was also deeply moved. He said solemnly, "Brother Lin Fan, don't worry. I will never reveal your secret to anyone."

"You're my closest brother. Of course I trust you." Lin Fan nodded slightly and held out a hand to Lin Dong.

Lin Dong likewise extended his hand and clasped Lin Fan's. Everything was understood without words!

Lin Fan said gravely, "The memories from another lifetime that I gained, Qing Tan's Special Constitution, and the Stone Talisman in your hand—these are all earth-shattering secrets. If any one of them were exposed, the entire Lin Clan would be wiped out!"

"Therefore, only the three of us can know these secrets. We can't tell anyone else! At least until we become strong enough, not the slightest hint can leak out!"

"Mm-hmm!"

Qing Tan and Lin Dong both nodded solemnly.

"Alright, it's getting late. Qing Tan, get some rest early. Lin Dong and I should head back and rest as well. Tomorrow, we'll continue working hard!"

After a while, Lin Fan released Qing Tan and Lin Dong and smiled.

With that, Lin Fan waved to Qing Tan and turned to leave the room.

Lin Dong followed close behind, bidding Qing Tan farewell as he left.

After leaving Qing Tan's room, Lin Fan and Lin Dong exchanged farewells and returned to their respective rooms.

After returning to his room, Lin Fan first locked the door tightly, then began to tally up today's gains.

"One thousand Yang Yuan Stones, ten Body Tempering Pills, and three Yin Pearls. Not bad at all!"

"Besides, after what happened just now, Qing Tan, Lin Dong, and I share a secret. Our relationship has grown even closer, which is also a huge gain!"

"Lastly, let me try out the Heaven Defying Comprehension rewarded by the system!"

After murmuring to himself, Lin Fan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and silently recalled the martial art Lin Xiao had taught him, the Through-the-Back Fist.

Many things he had failed to understand before suddenly became clear, and he quickly grasped the Through-the-Back Fist to an extremely profound level.

He had even comprehended the true essence of the tenth crack of the Through-the-Back Fist before Lin Dong did.

Overjoyed, Lin Fan immediately rose to his feet and began practicing the Through-the-Back Fist right inside the room!

Crack, crack...

In the dark room, the young man's body moved like an ape's. Sweat poured down like rain as though he knew no fatigue, and he performed the Through-the-Back Fist over and over again!

Crack, crack, crack...

Until, at a certain moment, when Lin Fan performed the Through-the-Back Fist, ten crisp cracks rang out at once. Only then did he stop practicing.

"The Through-the-Back Fist, ten cracks! This tenth crack doesn't come from the arms, but from within the body, bursting from the inside out!"

"If I had mastered the ten cracks of the Through-the-Back Fist during the day, then even without Sister Lin Xia stepping in, I could have contended against Lin Hong, perhaps even defeated him!"

After sensing the power of the ten cracks of the Through-the-Back Fist, Lin Fan was quite satisfied.

Seeing that it was already late into the night, Lin Fan pondered for a moment and decided not to continue cultivating. Instead, he went to bed to rest.

Balancing work and rest was the way to last!

Over the following days, Lin Fan began taking Body Tempering Pills for body-tempering cultivation.

Lin Fan discovered that after taking a Body Tempering Pill, his cultivation efficiency was vastly better than before.

However, each Body Tempering Pill could only improve his cultivation efficiency for five days.

Thus, Lin Fan took one Body Tempering Pill every five days and cultivated with all his might.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

One day, while Lin Fan was cultivating, he suddenly sensed a strange energy being born within his bone marrow!

Within his bone marrow, that strange energy slowly flowed. An indescribable sensation of power spread from his marrow, eventually reaching every part of his body!

"This is... a Yuan Power Seed!"

After a brief moment of thought, Lin Fan quickly realized what that strange energy was, and a surge of delight rose within him.

Tempering strength into the marrow, merging one's power with the bone marrow, and thus giving birth to a Yuan Power Seed within it—this was precisely the hallmark of the sixth level of the Body Tempering Realm!

"It's been less than twenty days since I broke through to the Body Tempering Stage Fifth Level, and I've already broken through again, reaching the sixth level of the Body Tempering Realm!"

"Not bad. Having cheats really does feel amazing!"

Sensing that he had advanced to the sixth level of the Body Tempering Realm, Lin Fan was in an exceptionally good mood.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Fan did not continue cultivating. Instead, he headed toward Lin Dong's training area.

Over the past half month, Lin Fan had not forgotten to use the Lottery System alongside his cultivation. He had drawn from everyone he knew several times, but he had not obtained many good things.

The best prize had still been a Second Grade Spirit Medicine he had drawn from Lin Xiao.

As for Lin Dong and Qing Tan, he had not drawn any new rewards from them.

Lin Fan decided that, while his luck was good today, he would go try his hand at drawing from Lin Dong.

"Brother Lin Fan, you're here!"

Lin Dong, who had been cultivating, paused when he saw Lin Fan arrive and greeted him.

Lin Fan stepped forward and patted Lin Dong on the shoulder, smiling. "Lin Dong, cultivation is important, but you can't push yourself too hard. You should know that too much is as bad as too little. Balancing work and rest is the way to last."

Lin Dong nodded. "Thank you for the reminder, Brother Lin Fan. I'll keep it in mind."

At the same time, the system's delightful voice finally rang out in Lin Fan's mind once more!
