Utter devastation, there is no other way to describe the scene of the battle. The trees that has once covered the area? gone turned to powder. The ground once covered in grass and weeds? collapsed leaving only a massive hole with no visible end. The combatants? On either side of the hole on the brink of being dead ,bones twisted backwards,having lost so much blood the wounds litering their bodies completely dry , skin flayed leaving only a few patches. Should either of the two been mortals they would have been dead hundreds of times over. Oddly enough however was that on both nicks and the apes faces a content smile hung loosely . "name?" The sound of a deep voice echo's out of the apes body surprised nick replied "nicholas varia ,you?" The ape was silent for a few moments "sun wulong". Both of them were silent for about five minutes . nick reaches for his inventory carefully as a grimace covers his face from the pain going through his body. In his inventory he removed two of his best healing pills before he takes one quietly. After his body regain a small amount of strength he flicks the second one over to the ape who wordlessly swallows it . the first thing that heals on both nick and the ape is the bones, as they reset themselves grew sludge weeds out of them leaving only pure jade bones behind. Next the muscles reattach themselves as well as grow more compact and durable. The veins and meridians slowly creep into position as they also become larger and tougher than before. Finally an entirely new layer of skin grows over their bodies that is flawless and harder than the previous layer. Finally hair grows out from their bodies until they are completely healed.

*Congratulations on discovering a secondary path of cultivation (BODY REFINEMENT).*

*You have gained 100 DC for the achievement as well as all related items from the system being unlocked for your perusal.*

Nick was amazed at the notification from the system before nursing into laughter. Startled sun wulong couldn't help but ask "why laugh?" In his deep voice. Nick stopped laughing and explained about body refinement and how they seemed to accidentally stumbled into it. Sun wulong also laughed at the irony of the situation. 'System status!' Nick commanded.

Nicks eyes were so wide it looked like they would fall out. 'Damn only level 4 in body refinement and my strength and agility basically doubled this path is totally worth taking it the gains are always so great!' Nick thinks. Nick goes to stand up from the ground but since he isn't used to his new strength overexerts and instead launches himself into the air before landing awkwardly on his faces few feet away.
