High-level martial arts: Start with a grueling grind for the Golden Bell Shield.

The second divine seed trait has been successfully activated.

Lu Lin was filled with excitement.

The first divine seed trait, refinement, greatly helped Lu Lin.

Having stepped into the skin refining stage, he also helped Lu Lin enter the meat refining stage yesterday.

What mysteries lie behind the new divine characteristics?

"The world is vast, yet it resides within me? What does that mean?"

"The furnace, hidden within me?"

Lu Lin frowned. "Does it mean I need to melt everything in the world and then replenish it into my body to strengthen my physical form?"

An image appeared in my mind: a gigantic creature with eighty arms, three heads, and a long tail covered in spikes.

"Get out of here!"

"I don't want to become like that!"

Lu Lin shook his head, banishing the terrible thought from his mind.

Before he could continue his research, he felt a sudden pang of hunger.

hungry.

So hungry.

There seemed to be nothing in my stomach.

The gastric juices seem to be digesting the entire stomach.

I ate nearly two hundred small portions of food at noon, and now it's all gone.

"not good!"

Lu Lin immediately snapped out of his daze and started rummaging through the dormitory for something to eat.

Fortunately, I bought a lot of snacks and pastries for Shitou yesterday.

Like a whirlwind sweeping away clouds, Lu Lin ate all the snacks.

However, there has been no improvement whatsoever.

"Let's go to the cafeteria!"

The terrifying hunger in my stomach did not lessen in the slightest.

For now, Lu Lin has no choice but to go to the cafeteria.

His figure flashed quickly.

Lu Lin used every ounce of strength he had.

When he arrived at the canteen, he saw the janitors and cooks eating lunch.

"I'm so sorry, everyone, I'm really starving. I'll settle the bill with you later for the food."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lu Lin rushed to the stove, lifted the lid, and found a large pot of white rice inside, with some salted meat, cured meat, and other things steaming on top of the rice.

Ignoring everything else, Lu Lin picked up the spoon that the cafeteria lady had spilled and started eating like crazy.

One spoonful, two spoonfuls...

Lu Lin ate extremely quickly.

In the blink of an eye, half a pot of rice was gone. The cafeteria manager, upon seeing this, recalled a similar scene he had experienced a few years ago.

The steward stood up and shouted, "Quickly, bring up the monster meat. This student must have just advanced to the Meat Refining level and needs a lot of food to replenish his strength."

"good!"

Many of the handymen hurriedly got up, and the cooks also started heating oil in the woks, preparing to cook a meal for Lu Lin.

At this time, it is essential to ensure that Lu Lin is well-fed; this is a chef's belief.

The steward then instructed a handyman to go and report the situation to the academy's teacher.

In his current state, Lu Lin's diet of food and monster meat is not enough to quickly replenish his energy.

You must take the elixir.

Lu Lin, engrossed in his feast, had no time to notice what was happening around him.

Before long, the large pot of rice was finished, but Lu Lin's hunger did not ease at all; in fact, it became even more severe.

He glanced at the pile of raw demon beast meat not far away, ready to be cut up, and pounced on it.

"Young man, this is still raw, you can't..."

"Awoo awoo!"

At this moment, Lu Lin didn't care whether the food was raw or cooked; as long as it could replenish his energy, he would eat it and keep eating.

After Lu Lin swallowed the food, it went directly into a virtual furnace.

The power of Qi and blood is like fire, and the physical body is like a furnace, burning and breaking down food.

Streams of pure energy surged into Lu Lin's limbs and bones, and before he knew it, Lu Lin's physique became stronger and stronger.

A strong physical body nourishes the body's vital energy, which in turn fuels the food's energy.

Almost visibly, the training clothes that were a little loose on him just now were stretched taut and torn by Lu Lin's ever-strengthening body.

Just then, Xu Ruian and several teachers rushed over.

Seeing Lu Lin still eating heartily, his face covered in blood, Xu Ruian's heart skipped a beat.

"Oh no, I should have told Lu Lin about the side effects of getting into muscle training sooner."

"Strengthening the Foundation Pill, Replenishing Qi Pill, Minor Rejuvenation Pill..."

Xu Ruian took out seven or eight small bottles, uncorked them, walked up to Lu Lin, and shouted, "Lu Lin, take the pills!"

Lu Lin was not consumed by hunger.

Upon hearing Xu Ruian's words, he turned his head and smelled the fragrance of the elixir.

Without saying a word, Lu Lin picked up a bottle of pills and poured them into his mouth.

One bottle wasn't enough, so we got a second, a third...

Soon, Xu Ruian ran out of pills.

The other teachers stood by and quickly handed over their respective pills.

at last.

Lu Lin let out a burp and stopped swallowing the pill.

"Thank you, Master Xu. Thank you, Master."

Lu Linchong, Xu Ruian, and the teachers bowed to each other.

If the teachers hadn't arrived in time, Lu Lin would probably have starved to death!

"Lu Lin, why did you suddenly start training your body?"

"When you're training your meat, you need to prepare plenty of Qi and Blood Pills, as well as a lot of meat and pills. Don't you know that?" Xu Ruian said, feeling both sorry for Lu Lin and a little reproachful, as he saw that Lu Lin had recovered.

"Muscle building up?"

Lu Lin was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded, "Yes, I did get muscle training. I ate about two hundred small amounts of food at noon, and I felt my blood and qi surging. I rushed back to my dormitory to cultivate, and before I knew it, I had gotten muscle training. Master Xu, I will be careful next time and will never do it again."

Seeing Lu Lin's state, Xu Ruian's expression softened a bit. "I'm not trying to blame you. Every step of a martial artist's advancement requires careful preparation. Your rashness should serve as a warning."

"I understand, Master. I just ate quite a few pills and some monster meat from the cafeteria. I need to settle the bill quickly, as I have a martial arts class this afternoon."

"The expenses do need to be settled. For our pills, just charge us 30,000 minor merit points. As for the monster meat from the cafeteria…"

Xu Ruian asked the steward, "The monster meat costs a total of 8,000 minor merits, which is 38,000 in total."

"Huh?! So many?"

Lu Lin couldn't believe it.

When Xu Ruian taught him the small skill in the morning, Lu Lin felt like he had become rich overnight.

Unexpectedly, before the day was even over, and before the 34,500 small merits had even been properly prepared, they were already being sent out.

Not only did I have to send it out, but I also ended up owing three thousand small merits.

"Do you know more now?"

Xu Ruian gave him a cold look. "If you had prepared earlier, you could have replenished your pills as soon as you finished training your muscles, and you wouldn't have spent so much."

"Alright, I'll talk about it later. You should fill in the rest of the tutors first."

Lu Lin nodded and transferred 34,000 minor merit points to the other teachers, leaving him with only 900 minor merit points in his account.

"Hey, where are you going?!"

Seeing Lu Lin turn to leave, Xu Ruian hurriedly called out to him.

"I'm going to class, or I'll be late."

"You don't need to go to class. Come with me to find the headmaster."

Looking for the headmaster?

Lu Lin had no idea what Xu Ruian was up to, but he could only go along with him.

When he arrived, he found that there were many students there.

Fang Heng, Lü Mo, He Wenzhu, Fan Li, Xiang Hesheng and other familiar faces, as well as other promising players.

Why are so many people gathered in the headmaster's office? Is it for the upcoming special training?
