As time passed, the pool gradually neared its end, and the First Island Lord's expression grew more and more colorful.
He even found himself wondering if Chen Changan was thirsty and had drunk the pool dry, despite it being made of condensed Power of Stars.
Most importantly, Chen Changan still hadn't finished tempering his body. This kid's body was absurdly tough—wasn't it a bit too much?

The same question wasn't just on the island lord's mind. Chen Changan was wondering the same thing.
