Late at night...

Kang Jin-Ho headed back to Jaegyeong's hospital. Just like before, he easily slipped into Sister Yi's room without being detected. He stood near the bed and scanned her sleeping figure.

'Time to start the treatment...'

He drank some liquor like an immature kid, but he didn't feel drunk at all. It shouldn't impair his ability to treat her tonight. Kang Jin-Ho pressed his palm on Sister Yi's abdomen, then proceeded to eliminate the tumorous growths. He started off by burning away the poisonous strands of energy creeping back into the areas he had already cleansed.

Quite some time passed by while he focused on treating the areas he hadn't touched yet.

“Fuu-woo...” Kang Jin-Ho let out a heavy groan while taking his hand away.

Maybe, because he had already done this before? The treatment wasn't as exhausting as the last time, but the feeling of his body weighing a ton still assaulted him mercilessly. The sweat-drenched clothes also bothered him.

'Still, it's getting better.'

As if to mirror the improving condition of the orphanage's director, Kang Jin-Ho's cultivation realm was also improving. He was unable to solely focus on training right now, so performing treatments like this helped him in that regard.

Kang Jin-Ho studied Sister Yi's sleeping face, then exited her room. He headed to the hospital's rooftop and was greeted by the view of Seoul immersed in the darkness of the night.

'Have I not really changed?'

He believed he had been acclimatizing...
