Chapter 121: 110. Sea God Revival_2

“If there really are superhumans in the world, I wonder if their talents can compare with mine.”

Lin Zichen felt a bit curious about this.

However, he didn’t delve too deep into it and quickly grabbed the food he had prepared in advance, eating it voraciously to replenish the Qi-Blood he had spent during his Tempering Flesh.

Once his Qi-Blood had almost recovered, he found a grip strengthener made of special elastic alloy and set it to the highest strength.

Then, he squeezed it hard with his right hand to feel the current grip strength of his arm.

After testing it out, the grip strength of his right hand had obviously increased a lot.

At least by 50%.

And that was just the increase in strength.

Besides strength, there were definitely the same levels of enhancement in defense, endurance, and recovery among other aspects.

If the effect of just one Body Refining was this exaggerated, five times of Tempering would surely multiply the strength by several times.

No, it could even be more than ten times.

Now, only the muscles of the arm had been tempered once, and it had led to a 50% increase in the right hand’s grip strength.

If the muscles of the entire body were refined, enhancing all the muscles, then the increase in right-hand grip strength would definitely be more than 50%.

After all, grip strength is influenced not only by the muscles in the arms but also by other parts of the body like the chest muscles.

With this thought, Lin Zichen was invigorated and filled with the motivation to temper his flesh.

In the evening, after dinner,

Lin Zichen sat down for a while to digest, feeling that his Qi-Blood was very abundant.

He didn’t stay downstairs long and stood up to go back to his room to continue Tempering Flesh, aiming to refine all the muscles in his body within half a month.

Nearly a whole night passed.

He had finished tempering all the muscles in his entire left arm.

Feeling the strength in both arms, Lin Zichen thought he could give himself a nickname—Iron Arm.

“Xiao Chen, I’m here to see you. Hurry up and open the door.”

“Coming.”

Hearing Shen Qinghan’s voice, Lin Zichen responded and went to open the door.

As the door opened, Shen Qinghan handed him the shoebox she was holding, saying, “These are the running shoes I bought while shopping with Chu Xin today. See if they fit.”

“I’ll try them.”

Lin Zichen opened the shoebox, which contained a pair of light grey running shoes.

Upon trying them on, they were a perfect fit and very comfortable.

“These are couple shoes, you know. I have a light pink pair at home. Later on when we go out for runs to train, let’s wear these,” said Shen Qinghan, having taken off her slippers and sitting on the bed, her voice sweet and crisp.

Lin Zichen found the shoes very comfortable and thought they must not be cheap. He asked:

“How much did these cost?”

“Together, both pairs just hit 1,000 yuan.”

“That’s pretty expensive.”

“But they’re worth it for the comfort, plus they’re durable. If you buy cheap ones, the soles wear out after just a few runs.”

“That’s true.”

Talking like this for over an hour, the two of them ended up lying on the bed.

Shen Qinghan, while chatting, blushed slightly, looking a bit embarrassed, and said, “That… the second dimension study videos on your phone, I didn’t finish watching them last time. I want to continue.”

“Addicted to them, huh?”

Lin Zichen couldn’t help teasing her, “I never imagined you were such a lecherous girl.”

“No way! I’m not addicted at all. I’m just curious!” retorted Shen Qinghan with a pout, “It’s you, always downloading and saving them, you’re the real lecher, and you have the nerve to talk about me!”

“Man’s nature, I’m naturally lecherous,” Lin Zichen admitted unashamedly with thick skin.

Shen Qinghan didn’t know how to handle him and thought indeed there was nothing like the shameless.

“You always make fun of me, so as punishment, you’re not getting any kisses tonight!”

Shen Qinghan puffed up her cheeks, pretending to be angry, and turned away from Lin Zichen with a bit of coquettishness.

Lin Zichen ignored her ‘punishment,’ directly turned her around with his hand, embraced her, and kissed her on the mouth.

Shen Qinghan put up a symbolic struggle, but soon she succumbed and began to respond to Lin Zichen’s kisses.

The next morning,

After eating breakfast made by Zhang Wanxin, the two left for the hospital to meet up with Li Chuxin.

They went through the formalities in no time, and Li Chuxin then proceeded with egg retrieval.

It was a very simple minimally invasive surgery, completed in just over ten minutes.

“How does it feel?”

Seeing Li Chuxin come out of the operating room, Shen Qinghan immediately asked.

Li Chuxin replied, “I didn’t feel much, just lay there and played with my phone and it was over. The only scary part was the needle they use for egg retrieval; it’s a bit terrifying.”

While speaking, she gestured with her hands in front of Shen Qinghan, saying, “It was this long, this thick, and they just pierced it right through to my lower abdomen. If it weren’t for the anesthetic, it would definitely be unbearably painful.”

“Don’t scare me, Chu Xin.”

Shen Qinghan regretted asking Li Chuxin how she felt.

Originally not afraid of the egg retrieval surgery, but after hearing about the needle from Li Chuxin, she couldn’t help but feel a little scared.

“Next, please come in!”

A female doctor’s voice came from the operating room.

Hearing the call, Shen Qinghan quickly walked in.

Then, about ten minutes later, she walked out of the operating room.

There was no apparent discomfort in her body, not at all like she had been pierced with a needle.

The biological technology and medical techniques of this world were quite advanced, and many minimally invasive surgeries were virtually injury-free, with very mild postoperative anesthesia effects.

“By the way, we’ve been on summer vacation for so long and our group of four hasn’t gone out to play together yet. Should we pick a day to go out together?”

Li Chuxin suggested, looking at the two.

Shen Qinghan was the first to agree, “Good idea, the four of us should go out and have fun.”
