Location: Women's Dormitory · Bathroom

Fufu's fair hands lathered up the shampoo, and the fluffy foam was smeared onto her red hair by her white palms.

Outside the door, her roommate Teresa called out:

"Fufu, how much longer do you need?"

"Ten minutes."

"Okay."

Outside the door, Teresa absentmindedly twirled her long hair that fell beside her ear.

She was on a video call with Heisha.

"Aunt, are you leading the team to the front line again this year?"

On the other end of the line was a training room.

Specialized training equipment was displayed all around.

For ordinary people to simply figure out how to use these pieces of equipment would take several days.

To become proficient under guidance might take several months.

But Heisha wandered among them as if a fish returning to the sea.

These pieces of equipment were not merely for weight-bearing or exercising a particular muscle group.

For example, the set of tools in Heisha's hand now, which looked like arm armor, worked to lock the naturally dissipating life energy within her arms.

This way, by using a secret technique to stabilize this life energy, Heisha could keep her physical vitality at peak state for an extended period.

This was the most frequently used secret technique by today's Ethereal Emblem Titan Path Extraordinary—

[Life Return]

Of course, Heisha's method was even more extreme.

She was currently using a more refined Life Return technique—

[Life Return: Furnace]

Compared to the typical Life Return that maintains physical vitality, Life Return: Furnace further squeezes the life energy out in advance through other means.

Of course, with such a method, one misstep could potentially burn through one's lifespan, making it a forbidden technique among forbidden techniques.

Ordinary people simply couldn't learn it.

But Teresa knew that this forbidden technique had become second nature to Aunt Heisha.

Like now, as she was talking to her about heading to the Menilanka region to lead a frontline medical team, she continued with her Life Return: Furnace training.

The forcibly stimulated life energy kept impacting the arm armor, making the runes on it ripple continuously.

Watching made Teresa's heart race, and she said:

"Aunt, I heard from Father that you seemed to have sent a message to Director Kennis through the family channels?"

The life energy Heisha was constantly squeezing out made her graceful and powerful abdomen sweat under the influence of the Secret Technique.

The outline of her abs was faintly visible on her fair abdomen.

Not unsightly at all.

Quite the opposite, it displayed a vitality that ordinary young girls could never express.

Teresa cast a glance filled with envy at Aunt Heisha.

She knew that many of Aunt Heisha's methods were not something ordinary people could learn.

Her father evaluated Aunt Heisha like this.

"If there is anyone in this world who constantly hovers on the edge of forbidden techniques, your aunt is definitely one. Don't think about learning her methods; you don't have the bodily aptitude for it, and you won't master it in a lifetime."

She was very unconvinced at the time.

Teresa had never been a person who admitted to being inferior.

If Aunt can learn something, why can't I?

She told this thought to her father at the time, but what she got was a subtle expression from him.

"Teresa, I'm not trying to stop you from exploring unknown domains. In fact, the Cavendish Family has never stopped its exploration of the unknown, but you've underestimated the challenge."

Younger Teresa curiously asked:

"Underestimated it?"

"Yes, I forbid you from casually learning your aunt's methods because, at your current level, casually learning them could inflict irreversible harm on you, for example..."

"For example?"

"Like Life Return: Furnace."

So at that time, Teresa went without hesitation.

Later...

Later she became cautious.

Aunt Heisha is truly a monster.

Life Return: Furnace in essence is about mining the body's treasures by seeing it as a whole from a mystical perspective, continuously excavating the undeveloped treasures.

It is said that this method originated from a branch of the dwarves in Furnace Castle, known for their forbidden techniques.

Anyone among the dwarves who even just started to dabble in that forbidden technique almost invariably ended up regretting it.

As to why they regretted it, she hadn't asked in detail.

Anyway, when Aunt Heisha mentioned this, her expression was somewhat subtle.

Heisha personally got involved, mastered that forbidden technique, and then successfully found a method to reverse the forbidden techniques through understanding and analyzing her own body.

And based on this method, she developed the later Life Return and its advanced version, Life Return: Furnace.

However, even the students of the Ethereal Emblem's Titan Path wailed plenty when learning Life Return.

No other reason.

It was too painful and torturous.

Even more so for the advanced version.

It was during her training that she understood her father's intentions.

Facing Aunt Heisha in the video, she bitterly smiled and asked:

"Aunt, such a dangerous forbidden technique, how did you manage to master it back then?"

At this moment, Heisha had just finished a set of training, her forehead moist with glistening sweat.

She stood up and moved around, saying:

"You also learned the Furnace back then, remember the theory of the Furnace?"

Teresa nodded and said:

"Analyzing human birth from a mystic theoretical perspective, transforming from Life Origin into the body's limbs, is the evolution of Life Origin.

Precisely because evolution is constantly progressing, human life is thus finite, unable to escape death.

So Life Return: Furnace chooses to go against the current, reversely cultivating Life Origin, and ascend to a god's physique against convention."

Heisha calmly said:

"You died at that step of reversely cultivating Life Origin, which is why you..."

She looked at her niece's magnificent chest and chuckled.
