Xiang Yu inhaled deeply, trying to steady his nerves as he prepared for the inevitable agony. The bloodlines had strengthened significantly since his last session, but his body had also advanced to a higher layer of refinement. He reassured himself that with his physical power now at least three times greater than before, perhaps the pain wouldn’t be as unbearable this time.
With resolute determination, he released his control over the dragon and phoenix bloodlines. True to their nature, they instantly surged toward each other like ancient enemies spotting their rival across a battlefield. The moment they collided, the brutal war within his body commenced.
To his momentary surprise, his skin didn’t rupture instantly as it had during previous sessions. A fleeting sense of relief washed over him, but the reprieve was short-lived. Within seconds, the opposing forces began inflicting real damage to his internal organs. When the first rupture finally tore through his skin, others followed in rapid succession, each break occurring faster than the last.
Blood seeped from the widening cracks across his body as Xiang Yu gritted his teeth. Though still excruciating, he noticed something different—the pain seemed somewhat dulled compared to previous sessions. Not that it didn’t hurt—it still felt like being torn apart from the inside—but his tolerance appeared to be building with each brutal training session.
With trembling fingers, he reached for a healing pill and swallowed it, consciously directing its restorative essence toward his most critical injuries. For hours, he endured this grueling cycle of devastation and recovery, his body becoming a continuous battlefield where the competing bloodlines raged against each other while his healing powers struggled to maintain the integrity of his physical form.
When the system reset screen finally materialized before his eyes, Xiang Yu realized his mind remained surprisingly lucid despite the ordeal. His capacity to withstand the torment was clearly improving with each session. Through the haze of lingering pain, he focused his attention on the results of his hard work:
