A serene silence was spread around in the room, but slowly a faint sound was appearing. This sound was none other than that of heart beats and was increasing bit by bit every minute.
Lin Mu was silently assimilating the vital energy from the meat that he had eaten and was assaulting the next stage of the body tempering realm. He was slowly eroding the barrier which prevented him from entering the next stage with each wisp of vital energy that he assimilated.
The vital energy would be absorbed into his body from the stomach and then assimilated into the tissues. As Lin Mu's skin and muscles were already saturated, the only place left was his bones and marrows. His bones were also on the verge of being completely saturated and the vital energy was slowly penetrating into the marrows.
Lin Mu's heart beats kept on getting louder and louder until eventually, they resounded in the room.
