Chapter 8 - Effects Of Body Refinement Pill
After assuring his family that he wouldn't be so careless again, they finally made their way home. His house, a spacious dwelling located in the central area of the city, boasted a beautiful garden that added to its charm. When they arrived, the clock read 8:37 AM. After a brief rest, the family gathered for a happy breakfast—Lin Shen's stomach growled in protest, filling the room with its demands.
As they sat down, his mother launched into one of her familiar scoldings—something Lin Shen hadn't heard in what felt like an eternity. "Why are you smiling like a fool? Do you think this is a joke?" she chided in a stern, angry tone, though a slight happy smile betrayed her true feelings.
"Oh, it's nothing," Lin Shen replied, still smiling broadly.
"Oh, really?" his dad, Lin Wan, teased from the other side.
"Yeah," Lin Shen said, shifting his gaze toward his father. Meanwhile, Lin Mei's quiet giggles floated in from across the table. She was truly delighted, for she rarely saw her brother smile like this. Normally, his smiles were forced—only appearing during discussions about cultivation or training—and he spent most of his day secluded in his room, emerging only for meals or school.
The breakfast continued with light-hearted chatter and laughter, the broad smile on Lin Shen's face a silent testament to the rare moment of genuine happiness he was experiencing.

"Ok then, now I should get ready for school," Lin Shen said after finishing his breakfast.
"Huh? I thought you were going to school today?" his mother asked, frowning.
"Hmm, what do you mean? Isn't my schedule supposed to be school today?" Lin Shen replied, confused—he was certain that today was his school day.
"You are not going anywhere today. You've just recovered, so take some rest, understand?" his mother said in a commanding tone that brooked no argument.
With no other option, Lin Shen nodded. Being a good, sincere, and rather cute boy, he reluctantly agreed to postpone his plans of exploring his futuristic school until tomorrow.
After breakfast, Lin Mei headed off to school while his mother and father left for work. As for Lin Shen, he sat on his bed in his room, checking the system status:
[Host - Lin Shen]
[Age - 18] [Gender - Male]
[Race - Human]
[Gladiator Space - Body Refining (4th Stage)]
[Dimensional Orbs - 0] [Exp - 0]
[Quests - None]
[Skills - None]
[Shop]
[Gladiator Space - Training Space]
"Hmm, so I can enter Training Space again now," Lin Shen mused, his eyes scanning the system display with renewed interest. The Training Space option beckoned him with the promise of further challenges and growth, and he couldn't help but feel a spark of excitement.
"Now, let's check the body refinement pill," he added to himself, recalling the newbie gift pack he had received from the system. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the small, neatly packaged pill—a tiny orb of condensed energy designed to accelerate his body refinement process. Its surface glimmered faintly, hinting at the potent power contained within.
Lin Shen swallowed the pill. The moment it passed his lips, the pill seemed to dissolve into nothingness, releasing a tide of gentle energy far more potent than that of the Dimensional Orbs. Unlike the orb's energy, this surge brought no pain—only a soothing, transformative warmth.
The energy flowed steadily toward his skin, refining it with a delicate touch. In time, his skin became flawlessly smooth and entirely refined, yet the energy within him was far from spent. It continued its journey, moving next to his muscles. There, it worked meticulously, honing each fiber until his muscles grew lean and strong. Not pausing there, the energy then shifted toward his tendons, fortifying them with precision, ensuring they could support even greater power.
The transformative tide surged through every layer of his body, refining him from the outside in, marking a profound and silent climax to his cultivation.
