He Ao opened his eyes, and a bright, softly glowing white chandelier appeared in his field of view.
He slowly climbed out of bed, holding his forehead as the intense, oxygen-deprived dizziness, akin to suddenly squatting down, rose in his mind, slightly affecting his thoughts.
He shook his head, slowly sat up on the bed, attempting to drive this dizziness out of his mind.
At the same time, he slightly assessed his own physical condition.
The injuries had not fully healed, but the promotion was complete.
He raised his hand and glanced at his palm.
The skin on the palm was visibly whiter and more delicate, like newly grown skin.
However, under this white skin, faint, dark red lines could be vaguely seen.
Those were the scars of his body that had not yet been fully repaired.
The power of promotion and the system's 'repair' were different; even if He Ao completed the ceremony very well, under two instances of extreme body exertion, the promotion could not fully repair his body.
