The Heroines Can Hear My and the Protagonist's Inner Voice!?

[She looks good fighting.]

Rose’s smile disappeared.

[Maybe after this...]

She immediately moved away.

Lu Chen frowned.

"What?"

"Nothing."

Another wolf attacked.

Rose stabbed it harder than necessary.

. . .

The deeper they traveled...

The harder everything became.

Ancient soldiers.

Qi formations.

Poison mist.

Hallways that shifted.

One room forced them to fight illusions of former enemies.

Another attacked their minds with killing intent.

Black Wolf suffered.

Not badly.

But enough.

Ghost gained a cut across his shoulder.

Bear’s armor cracked.

Rose had blood running down one arm.

Lu Chen himself had several bruises.

Still...

They kept moving.

And Fate rewarded him.

Xu Ning watched from behind.

Opportunity Progress: 34%

Then...

47%

Then...

61%

Shen Tian smiled.

"Good boy."

Xu Ning slowly looked toward him.

[Did you just...]

"Yes."

[Call Lu Chen...]

"Yes."

She laughed so hard she nearly disappeared.

. . .

Then...

They reached the Blood Tempering Pool.

Lu Chen stopped.

Even he became silent.

The chamber was enormous.

At the center...

A circular pool glowed dark red.

Steam rose.

The Qi inside was so dense that the stone walls had turned crimson.

Rose slowly approached.

"What is that?"

Ghost looked at his scanner.

It immediately died.

Bear stared.

"Useful."

Lu Chen felt his blood reacting.

His heartbeat accelerated.

His muscles tightened.

Every instinct screamed.

Treasure.

He smiled.

Then...

An ancient inscription illuminated.

Chinese characters appeared along the wall.

Rose looked toward Lu Chen.

"Can you read it?"

"Enough."

He stepped closer.

The inscription described a battlefield blood-tempering ritual.

Ancient generals had used the pool to strengthen flesh.

Meridians.

Bones.

Recovery.

A brutal refinement.

Lu Chen smiled.

Perfect.

Xu Ning’s panel appeared far behind.

Major Sub-Opportunity

Blood Tempering Pool

Destined Recipient: Lu Chen

Fate Value: 9,000

Shen Tian’s green eyes lit up.

"Mine."

Xu Ning laughed.

[You haven’t even seen it yet.]

"Still mine."

. . .

Lu Chen removed his shirt.

Rose looked away.

Not because she was embarrassed.

Because...

His thoughts started.

[If this strengthens me enough...]

She sighed.

[Shen Tian...]

Of course.

Lu Chen stepped into the pool.

Immediately...

His entire body locked.

"GH!"

The pain was brutal.

Blood-like energy entered his pores.

Muscles tore.

Rebuilt.

Bones cracked.

Strengthened.

Meridians burned.

Rose’s expression changed.

"Boss?"

"Fine."

His voice came through clenched teeth.

He went deeper.

Knees.

Waist.

Chest.

The pool boiled around him.

Lu Chen roared.

Qi erupted.

His body began absorbing the energy.

Xu Ning’s system updated.

Absorption: 10%

20%

31%

Shen Tian entered the previous chamber.

Then stopped.

Xu Ning looked toward him.

[If you wait too long...]

"He can have some."

[What?]

Shen Tian smiled.

"If I take everything..."

"He gets nothing."

"Heaven might compensate too aggressively."

Xu Ning stared.

[You’re managing his growth now.]

"Obviously."

[You’re farming him.]

Shen Tian looked offended.

"I’m cultivating an asset."

[That’s worse.]

He walked toward the Blood Pool.

. . .

Lu Chen reached...

57% absorption.

His body had visibly changed.

Muscles denser.

Qi stronger.

Blood hotter.

He smiled through the pain.

Then...

Footsteps.

Slow.

Casual.

Rose turned.

Ghost raised his weapon.

Bear moved.

A figure emerged.

Black clothes.

Hands in pockets.

Blond hair.

Green eyes.

Rose’s mouth slowly opened.

"No way."

Lu Chen’s eyes widened.

Shen Tian smiled.

"Hello."

Silence.

Absolute.

Bear stared.

Ghost stared.

Rose stared.

Lu Chen slowly stood inside the pool.

Water ran down his body.

"How..."

Shen Tian looked around.

"Nice place."

Lu Chen’s expression darkened.

"How did you get here?"

Shen Tian raised an eyebrow.

"Walked."

Rose immediately covered her mouth.

She knew.

She knew exactly what was coming.

Lu Chen climbed from the pool.

His aura surged.

Stronger.

Considerably stronger.

"Leave."

Shen Tian looked toward the pool.

"No."

Lu Chen’s eyes narrowed.

"This is my opportunity."

There.

Shen Tian slowly looked toward him.

"Your?"

Lu Chen’s jaw tightened.

"I found it."

"You found the mountain."

"Yes."

"Opened the entrance."

"Yes."

"Fought everything."

"Yes."

"Found the pool."

"Yes."

Shen Tian nodded.

"Good work."

Lu Chen froze.

Shen Tian removed his jacket.

Then handed it to Xu Ning.

She couldn’t physically hold it.

The jacket dropped.

Shen Tian stared.

Xu Ning stared back.

[...]

He picked it up.

Rose saw none of Xu Ning.

She only saw Shen Tian randomly drop his own jacket.

Her eyebrow rose.

Shen Tian quietly placed it on a stone ledge.

Then...

He stepped toward the pool.

Lu Chen moved.

"So you’re stealing it."

Shen Tian stopped.

Then smiled.

"Stealing?"

"Yes."

Shen Tian looked around.

"Do you own the mountain?"

"No."

"The ruins?"

"No."

"The pool?"

Lu Chen’s jaw tightened.

Shen Tian smiled.

"Then it’s not stealing."

He stepped closer.

"It’s taking."

Rose’s lips twitched.

Lu Chen’s aura exploded.

"Try."

Shen Tian sighed.

"You really want another beating?"

"I’m stronger now."

"Good."

Shen Tian’s smile widened.

"I was getting bored."

Lu Chen attacked.

His speed...

Was significantly higher.

Rose’s eyes widened.

The Blood Pool had worked.

His punch came forward.

Shen Tian caught it.

BOOOOM!

Shockwaves tore through the chamber.

Water exploded from the pool.

Stone cracked.

Lu Chen’s eyes widened.

Shen Tian hadn’t moved.

Again.

Shen Tian looked toward their hands.

Then...

Up.

"That was the improvement?"

Lu Chen’s expression became furious.

He attacked.

Second fist.

Shen Tian blocked.

Knee.

Shen Tian turned.

Elbow.

Miss.

Lu Chen accelerated.

Blood Tempering increased his physical strength enormously.

His attacks created visible air pressure.

Shen Tian dodged.

Then...

Lu Chen finally landed one.

THOOM!

His fist struck Shen Tian’s forearm.

Shen Tian slid backward one step.

Lu Chen smiled.

Finally.

Then...

Shen Tian looked at the distance.

One step.

He looked toward Lu Chen.

"You moved me."

Lu Chen smiled coldly.

"Scared?"

Shen Tian’s lips slowly curled upward.

"No."

His green eyes sharpened.

"Happy."

Lu Chen frowned.

"Why?"

"You’re finally worth hitting harder."

Shen Tian disappeared.

Lu Chen’s pupils contracted.

BAM!

Fist.

Stomach.

Lu Chen folded.

Shen Tian grabbed his shoulder.

Knee.

THOOM!

Lu Chen flew upward.

Shen Tian jumped.

Midair.

Spin.

Kick.

BOOOOOOM!

Lu Chen crashed into the stone floor.

The entire chamber shook.

Rose’s mouth fell open.
