It took a long while for the pain in Chu Yi's body to gradually subside, yet every muscle still ached terribly.
As for his bones, they felt utterly drained of strength, and several times when Chu Yi tried to stand up, he couldn't because his legs couldn't support his weight, and he could only slump back down to the ground.
Chu Ruolin appeared in front of Chu Yi just as he slumped onto the ground.
Seeing Chu Yi's eyes full of red veins, and the more-than-a-foot-deep trench on the ground, Chu Ruolin asked in surprise, "What happened to you?"
Chu Yi told her everything about how he practiced martial arts in the Bamboo Forest, and how he became so weak and limp that he couldn't stand up.
As for the part about the Iron Piece entering his brow and the vast Artistic Conception he witnessed, he omitted these details and didn't mention them.
"You didn't sleep? You've been practicing here all this time, until your limbs turned weak and limp? Have you gone mad?"
