"It doesn't hurt too much. I can handle it," Chen Cheng said gently with a smile.
After being tempered, his skin was naturally going to be damaged. These injuries couldn't be healed just by soaking in an Herbal Decoction. They required absorbing the effects of oral medicine, combined with the body's own natural healing, to slowly recover.
When Chen Cheng tempered his skin, he always pushed himself until he was near his body's absolute limit before stopping, so the damage was also close to the maximum he could endure.
Even though the medicine had healed most of the damage, his skin still ached.
Chen Cheng remembered Xi'Er mentioning that the Refined Iron plates in his undergarments were starting to show some rust and gave off a faint metallic smell.
'If Xi'Er could smell it, then others probably could too. I should take them out, wipe off the rust, and while I'm at it, add more weight to speed up my Iron Armor Skill Cultivation Progress.'
