Jin Wu had swallowed the pill whole, and as soon as it slid down his throat, something strange began to happen.
His body, which had been on the verge of collapse moments before, began to glow faintly. The glow was subtle at first, like a flicker of dying embers, but soon it intensified.
The Qi from the pill was slowly gathering under his skin, moving through his veins and healing him from the inside out.
Every external wound... cuts, bruises, gashes... began to close. His skin, which had been torn and battered from the fight, knitted itself back together as though time itself was rewinding.
The internal injuries, which had been plaguing Jin Wu for years, started to heal as well. His body felt... renewed.
Muscles that had been sore and strained for years relaxed, bones that had been fractured or weakened by years of training and battle realigned and strengthened.
