The second phase of the transformation was silent, cold, and total.
As the wild cellular rebuilding ceased, the intense body-energy heat streaming from Tie Shan’s body collapsed back toward balance. The sweat glistening on his broad shoulders stopped boiling. It cooled into a thin, salt-crusted sheen under the amber lamplight.
Inside his bones, the true miracle of the Grade-Nine Divine Nine-Turn Golden Pill was taking place.
The sky dragon marrow peptides didn’t simply repair the damaged bone to its original mortal thickness. Having fused the micro-fractures and reconstructed the torn joint capsule, the active reagents began to infiltrate the deep marrow cavities. The hollow centers of his long bones where blood cells were made.
Under Lin Tao’s test vision, the spongy-bone was dissolving, replaced by a fine, detailed, tiny lattice of high-thickness crystal-clear carbon and star-iron phosphate.
In materials science, Lin Tao analyzed. He watched the atom-deep data cascade across his left eye, transforming standard amorphous calcium hydroxyapatite into a six-sided crystal-clear diamond-lattice increases load-bearing crushing strength by over four hundred percent. This is not training refinement. It’s living metalworking.
Tie Shan’s breathing shifted from ragged gasps to slow, deep, ringing breaths that made the air in the water tank vibrate like an organ pipe.
