Chapter 627: Chapter 285 "Self-healing Interval" and "Primordial Pollution

Lin Yi was half-consciously listening to the conversation between Boss and Li Huiyuan, while hissing with each cold breath.

He tried several times to push himself up, but as soon as his hands stirred slightly and before he could exert any strength, he felt a heart-wrenching pain. Then his arms weakened, and he lay back down on the ground, with cold sweat pouring out as if wrung from a towel.

His mind was still blurry, yet he could distinctly feel the cracks covering the bones in his arms, and when exerting force, every strand of muscle fiber felt as if it was being twisted.

"Don’t be impatient, wait until you’ve recovered 90 percent, then start training," Boss said indifferently with a glance at Lin Yi.

At that moment, Lin Yi entertained an absurd thought—he actually felt that Boss’s demeanor was like that of a scientific researcher whose eyes were solely on data.

"Why 90 percent?"

"Because when you’re at 90 percent, your bones will have healed, but the flesh is still somewhat lacking... In that condition, your resistance to attacks remains, but not enough speed to dodge Huihuizi’s attack."

"That kick I gave you earlier, I wanted to see how wide your ’Self-healing Interval’ was."

"’Self-healing Interval’?" Despite speaking was very painful, Lin Yi still managed to ask with difficulty.

"’Self-healing Interval’ is the lower limit at which your body still possesses recovery power..."

"Everyone’s Self-healing Interval is different. If that kick had been given to Huiyuan, there’s a high probability she would have dropped into a ’dead’ state, meaning Huiyuan’s Self-healing Interval doesn’t cover that near-death condition with her body almost pulverized."

Li Huiyuan curled her lips, no longer having the heart to criticize whether Boss’s example was appropriate or not.

Lin Yi also curled his lips inwardly, thinking to himself that so Boss knew the power of that kick...

That kick was at the "Half-step Murderous Realm"...

"I kicked you just now, controlling the power well, kicking you into a near-death state."

"You have ’Ashes’ within you, and coupled with your endurance, even if you were deeply contaminated, you definitely wouldn’t die outright. Plus, I was prepared to call the School Doctor before making my move... that’s why I dared to kick so boldly."

"Originally, my plan was to have the School Doctor pull you back bit by bit, to see at what point during your recovery does your ability to self-recover begin to take effect."

"Once it takes effect, it means your ’Self-healing Interval’ starts from you being unharmed to that extent."

"What’s interesting is that your ’Self-healing Interval’ actually begins at ’near-death’, which means as long as you’re not directly dead, you can basically recover completely over some time."

"As for how long it would take without ’Ashes’ and outside the Gymnasium, that’s unknown."

"But I must say, you still surprise me."

"Being able to pull yourself back from the brink of death by relying on your survival instinct, in turn making use of all resources, even the ’Ashes’, is truly very rare... Your ’spirit’, it amazes me."

Lin Yi remained silent.

He wanted to say that it might not be willpower, but rather ’Adaptation’.

In the face of a life-threatening crisis, he had to ’adapt’ to absorb a higher level of contamination, the ’Ashes’ he normally wouldn’t absorb.

As for willpower...

His life flashed before his eyes, his soul had already wandered the Teaching Building’s Class C room 18, what willpower was there to speak of...

Only instinct!

And only instinct remained!

Boss looked at him: "I’ve said before, the recovery training is meant to ’activate’ and enhance your recovery ability."

"Because everyone actually has the ability to repair, a cut wound will disappear after some time, a broken bone will heal after some time..."

"It’s just that this self-repairing ability is extremely minor in ordinary people and diminishes with age, making an already small ability seem like none at all."

"We, the Sports Students, can integrate contamination into our bodies through training, improving various bodily parameters, including this self-repairing ability."

"You’re not a Sports Student, but in some ways, you’re close to one of us, so the training methods suitable for Sports Students, plus your ’Self-healing Interval’s lower limit of ’near-death’, make it much more fault-tolerant to train."

"However, even though you can still recover from a near-death state, the Angel Sculpture won’t let you recover from that state without doing anything, so even if this interval is measured, it’s just a reference for when you fight desperately."

"The ancients said ’know thyself, know thy enemy’; knowing yourself, most of the time you won’t be constrained."

"Next, your recovery ability has been ’activated’, what we need to do is to elevate this ability."

Lin Yi curiously asked, "How can this recovery ability be enhanced? It seems to be related to physique..."

If it’s related to physique, maybe improvement has to start with physical conditioning, but that means going back to ’prolonged training’.

Boss said, "Any powers with Supernatural Traits will change the composition of your life form and attributes. Our training is about shifting your body from passively accepting Contamination to actively embracing it, and using it where it’s needed."
