The ribs were knitting.
Jayde lay on the medical bay's diagnostic table and watched the formation readouts paint themselves across the ceiling in threads of pale gold, each one mapping a bone that had been shattered two days ago and was now — impossibly, stubbornly — fusing back together. Not the slow knit of a normal Inferno-tempered cultivator. Not even the accelerated mend that a decent healing pill would buy. Something deeper. Something that burned from the inside out, a low golden heat in her marrow that hadn't stopped since the mountain drake put her through a stone wall.
Healing rate: approximately four times baseline for cultivation tier. Consistent with phoenix-lineage regeneration. Ribs two and three fully fused. Rib four at seventy percent integration. Internal hemorrhaging resolved. Concussive symptoms absent.
