I'm not just human!

Taking advantage of that brief moment of deceiving his body, Xia Fa's hideous back muscles strained and he pulled hard!

"seventy!!!"

As Xia Fa used the strength of his back muscles to pull his body to its highest point, he completely lost his senses.

His body then plummeted, and only when he reached the very bottom could he grip the bar tightly with his almost completely exhausted hands to temporarily slow his descent.

Only in this way can it be considered that a complete pull-up has been truly completed.

That means... it has reached the seventieth!

I... I really did it! I broke the seventy-pull barrier!

Xia Fa felt a surge of joy and relaxation, but suddenly everything went completely black before his eyes, and his mind seemed to be falling into an endless abyss.

More importantly, my heart was pounding violently, like a drum, and I could hear tinnitus in my ears.

That feeling of drowsiness and oxygen deprivation washed over me again.

broken!

Before collapsing and fainting, this was Xia Fa's last thought.

I'm so tired from overexertion, I'm about to faint...

……

thump!

A muffled thud.

Xia Fa's tall, agile, and fierce body landed on the ground constructed of red and silver star shells.

His eyes were tightly closed, his jaw clenched, and he actually fainted.

Perhaps due to Xia Fa's complete unconsciousness caused by excessive exercise, the surface of the Red Silver Star Shell was about to develop fine cracks after the tremor.

Soon, it will shatter like a broken glass ball.

Just like when Xia Fa entered the mysterious inheritance bone realm of the Heavenly Fate Saint.

Just before cracks appeared on the red-silver star shell, countless black "fine sands" crossed the Star Spirit Realm and rushed towards Xiafa.

But if you look closely, you'll find that it's not fine sand... but tiny black holes!

It was as if a giant black hole had been split open, forming countless smaller black holes that rushed towards Xiafa's belly.

Chi!

Before Xia Fa's linen shirt even touched these tiny black holes, it was torn apart by the black holes' immense gravity.

Chi!

Immediately afterwards, Xia Fa's abdomen was also torn open by the gravitational pull of these tiny black holes, bleeding profusely and revealing his wriggling pink intestines.

But immediately, these tiny black holes directly merged into his stomach and intestines, then upwards into his esophagus and even his mouth, and downwards all the way into his small intestine.

The next moment, countless pink fleshy strands grew from Xia Fa's abdominal muscles, intertwining with each other like many powerful hands clasping together, forcibly healing his abdomen.

The blood flowed back into Xiafa's body without wasting a single drop. The wound on his abdomen quickly scabbed over, then the scab fell off, and the scar faded and disappeared.

In a daze, Xia Fa opened his eyes.

"What...what happened?"

He touched his stomach and felt an intense pain, but his spiritual intuition revealed nothing amiss when he looked inside.

"What am I doing..."

Xia Fa braced himself against the inner wall of the red-silver star shell, stood up, and with a casual wave of his hand, the red-silver star shell dissipated, transforming into starlight Rhine Silver Mercury that returned to his body.

He was about to wash off the sticky sweat in the bathroom when a sudden, intense hunger pang surged up from his stomach!

I haven't felt this intense hunger in a long time since that second workout in the little attic on Daniel Street in Rum City.

The feeling was like a sharp steel knife constantly scraping at my stomach, and it wouldn't stop until food was put in!

It's like a belly full of lava, scalding every part of the stomach and esophagus. Food is needed to calm this "lava," which is stomach acid!

But now, Xia Fa has experienced a lot and is no longer the young man who would panic and lose his mind because of a strange feeling of hunger.

He calmly summoned a large water sphere, stepped into it, and then manipulated the water within to flow violently, like ocean currents.

In an instant, all the sweat on his body was washed away.

But the next moment—

boom!

Xia Fa smashed through the water balloon, even breaking through the wall of the bathroom in the Emperor's Suite, and headed straight for the nearest table and chairs.

hungry.

I was so hungry.

This hunger intensified hundreds or even thousands of times in an instant, tormenting his stomach and even his mind, making it impossible for him to remain calm.

At this moment, Xia Fa had only one thought in his mind.

That is... eating!

Go and randomly freeload a meal, and ideally, get a superhuman feast cooked by a supreme supernatural being so you can eat your fill!

Now that I have money, when I pretend to be a real "bulimia glutton," I can help people calm their tendency to lose control, or even eliminate the risk of losing control. No matter what method I use or from what angle, I can afford to pay for the meal!

The nearest tables and chairs to him were the marble coffee table and the soft brown velvet sofa in the living room.

Even though it was only a dozen or so steps away, the hunger was incredibly intense, as if my stomach would start digesting on its own if I didn't eat soon.

Xia Fa had no choice but to rush forward while flipping his hand to take out the dried meat made from a Dominator-level supernatural creature that he had previously purchased at the night market in the City of Ten Thousand Stars.

Like a hungry wolf, he twisted his neck and head, tearing off a large piece of jerky with his teeth, swallowing it without chewing.

But at that very moment, Xia Fa stopped in his tracks.

Not right.

You should know that this is dried meat made from a dominant supernatural creature, and it is a dominant supernatural creature like the "Deep Sea Giant Wolf".

It is said that the fattest and most delicious meat from the hind leg of the giant sea wolf is so tender that it takes ten pounds of meat to make one pound of jerky!

Moreover, it's not just left to dry in the sun; it requires a master to intervene and use extremely complex procedures and steps combined with secret methods to dry it.

However, that bite he just took was equivalent to eating half a pound of deep-sea giant wolf meat, which would normally be enough to fill him up, but strangely, it didn't alleviate his hunger pangs at all.

Even more surprisingly, the meat of this giant deep-sea wolf didn't even get swallowed by stomach acid to be digested after it entered the stomach!

Stomach acid continues to corrode the stomach and intestines, and the extreme, intense hunger continues to torment the brain and mind.

"What...do I need to eat?"

Seeing this, Xia Fa decided against going to randomly freeload a meal and became thoroughly puzzled.

He knew perfectly well that this was definitely a change brought about by his breakthrough of seventy pull-ups during his recent physical training.

However, the biggest problem is...

What should I eat to relieve this hunger?

After thinking for a moment, Xia Fa took out one of the three treasures he had snatched from Nerva—a button-shaped treasure.

I've been too busy lately to study these three treasures, but now, Xia Fa has decided to take the risk and give them a try.

After confirming that his spiritual intuition sensed no danger, Xia Fa was about to put the button-shaped treasure into his mouth.

However, a sense of resistance arose, much like how someone who only likes to eat meat feels when faced with vegetables.

Xia Fa trusted his body's instincts and immediately realized that what he needed to eat was not the secret treasure.

He casually put away the button-shaped treasure, and then immediately took out a hexahedral-shaped extraordinary substance.

This was also bought at the night market in the City of Ten Thousand Stars. It is a strange supernatural essence called "Hot Long-Legged Succubus". It is said that if you take this supernatural essence to a certain deep sea abyss in the Baron Ocean, you can revive the Hot Long-Legged Succubus.

Of course, Xia Fa only bought it for research purposes, not because he really wanted to resurrect the hot, long-legged succubus.

And now, it's the perfect time to give it a try.

Similarly, Xia Fa placed the hexahedral-shaped extraordinary substance to his lips.

Another wave of resistance washed over me, completely different from the resistance I felt when I wanted to eat the secret treasure before, but it was definitely resistance nonetheless.

"Could it be... that I need to eat the sealed artifact? No, that's not right..."

If secret treasures won't work, then sealed artifacts definitely won't work either.

Hunger was still tormenting my brain, my stomach felt like it was about to be corroded by stomach acid, and my esophagus felt like it was filled with lava. The burning sensation and acid reflux were extremely intense.

In his desperation, Xia Fa suddenly came up with an extremely bold idea that even he found unbelievable.

Could it be that what I need to eat... is the Secret Code?

Eating secret ingredients is not uncommon in the history of the supernatural world; there have been some incredibly daring individuals who have attempted it.

After all, some secret contracts are carried by a piece of animal hide, while others are carried by a piece of dried meat or a bone fragment.

In other words, if you're not afraid of dying, you can try eating it.

However, this is just like signing a secret contract that is not guided by spiritual intuition. Without exception, those who have taken such contracts either explode and die on the spot, lose control directly, or mysteriously disappear after seemingly being safe and sound for a few days.

Therefore, "Never eat the secret ingredients" is a piece of advice that almost every nobleman would tell their children, and it has even become a tacitly accepted piece of nonsense.

Even Xia Fa, when he first became a superhuman, was gently reminded by Ban Li not to eat Mi Qi just because he was hungry. If he didn't have money to buy food, he could come to her house and she would cook for him herself.

But now, the thought of trying Michi makes Xia Fa feel inexplicably excited.

The feeling is like someone who has been starving for days suddenly thinking about eating a bowl of juicy braised pork or a bucket of golden, crispy, and steaming fried chicken.

In other words, it's... the instinctive feeling that arises when you find real "food"!

"Never mind, I'll just take a bite, and if it's too much, I'll just spit it out..."

Xia Fa's gaze sharpened, and he made a decision.

The main problem was that if he couldn't find the food that matched his hunger, he felt like his stomach would be burned through by the stomach acid.

Immediately, Xia Fa flipped his palm and took out a high-level secret contract of "Immortal Sentinel".

Even he himself had forgotten where he got it. It might have been cut open from the belly of a traveling whale, or it might have been bought at the night market in the City of Ten Thousand Stars, or it might have been taken from a supernatural creature he casually killed.
