Progress can indeed happen when soone is pushed into a situation—just like what happened to rlin.
Yet the changes in rlin were truly strange and hard to believe. The boy had sohow beco incredibly agile, strong, and sharp all of a sudden. It was a sight Linda had never witnessed before.
Could he be using a potion or sothing?
The thought made Linda's expression turn serious. If that were the case, everything would make sense.
But one question nagged at her—when did he take it?
From the very beginning, she had been watching rlin closely. Even if he had taken it before the training began, it still seed impossible.
No matter the potion, its effects would be felt imdiately after drinking. There was no way he could hold it in for hours.
Bang!
Lost in thought, she was jolted by a loud crashing sound from in front of her. Looking up, she saw rlin had slain the wolf monster.
Its massive body gradually disintegrated into fragnts of light that scattered into the sky.
"I... did it!" rlin exclaid, breathing heavily but beaming with happiness.
"Ugh..." Suddenly, a sharp pain tore through his ribs. Fresh blood trickled from his lips, and his face went pale as if he had lost a lot of blood.
"Hah... hah... hah... damn it... has the effect started?"
He glanced at the system panel. The remaining cooldown ti was still twenty seconds—aning the effect wasn't active yet, but the pain had already begun.
Whoosh!
His body turned to light and instantly reappeared in front of Linda. The wounds vanished, but a crushing exhaustion gnawed at his body.
"Congratulations, rlin. You made it," Linda said softly.
rlin forced a smile and nodded heavily. "Thank you, Master..."
But almost instantly, his vision blurred. Darkness overtook his eyes as his body collapsed to the ground.
"[Ding! The Body-limit Boosting Potion's cooldown period has ended! Side effects will begin imdiately!]"
rlin had already fallen into complete unconsciousness—but that didn't an he was safe; excruciating pain would hit him the mont he woke.
Linda froze as she watched her disciple collapse. She quickly knelt and examined his body with magic.
"This…" Her lips parted and then closed again, as if she were too shocked to speak.
rlin had no visible injuries, but his muscles were tightly contracted, and his nerves seed tangled.
Luckily, he was unconscious. Otherwise, the pain would have driven him to scream hysterically.
"This doesn't make any sense. Could my earlier guess be right? Did this boy really use a special potion? If so… when did he take it?"
No matter how hard she thought, she couldn't figure it out. In the end, she pushed the question aside and hurriedly carried him back to the mansion.

"Where am I? Why is it so dark?"
rlin opened his eyes to find himself in a strange place. There was no light—only endless darkness.
Suddenly, the ground beneath him vanished, and he fell at an incredible speed.
Bloom!
He hit the water hard, but strangely, he felt no pain. His body sank slowly, still engulfed in darkness.
"The sea? Did I fall into the sea?" he thought, confused.
rlin tried to swim upward, but it was useless. Instead of rising, he sank even deeper. Luckily, he could breathe normally—sothing utterly strange.
Hours passed—an hour, three hours, five hours, even six—and rlin had no idea how long he had been trapped in that strange place. The most update n0vels are published on novelꜰire
Finally, his back touched the sandy bottom. Monts later, five glowing orbs appeared around him, gradually dispelling so of the darkness.
"So it's true… I'm at the bottom of the sea," he whispered, eyes fixed on the swimming fish above.
But these were no ordinary fish. Their faces were sinister, their bodies covered in strange, intricate patterns.
To his surprise, rlin felt no fear at all.
"System, are you there?" he called.
A few seconds passed, but the system didn't respond. Doubt crept into rlin's mind.
"Could I be in so strange dinsion where even the system can't be contacted?"
His heart beat faster. The system was his source of confidence. If he couldn't even interact with it, wouldn't that be dangerous?
Just as panic threatened to overwhelm him, sothing unusual happened.
A golden-colored moon appeared in the sky, emitting a bright light that pierced the ocean around him.
"That…" rlin's eyes widened in shock. Before he could shield them, the light had already filled his vision.
The darkness that had consud everything transford into a blinding radiance.
After a while, the light faded. rlin opened his eyes to find himself in a small study room.
Two windows let warm sunlight spill into the space.
"Where… am I?" rlin muttered, confused.
Suddenly, a male voice spoke from behind him.
"You've finally arrived. I've been waiting for you, you know?"
