The blood seemed to flow backwards, undergoing a process of hematopoiesis anew. The stinging sensation gradually penetrated the bone marrow, the sound of fractures echoed in the space, and the bones began to grow as they fractured and rejoined.
The body started to go numb, as if electric currents were coursing through every part of it. The neural center in the brain short-circuited for a moment, and at the instant of its reboot, Bi Xia felt as if a pair of pliers were forcefully expanding its range inside her brain.
Clenching her lower lip to prevent herself from making any sound, cold sweat gradually surfaced, and those originally murky starry eyes grew brighter bit by bit, revealing determination within.
The longer she persisted, the more effective the Marrow-Washing Liquid would be.
007 looked at Bi Xia lying on the ground, extremely anxious, but it couldn't make a sound, fearing that a single careless act would distract Bi Xia and shatter her focus, which would ruin everything.
Time was indeterminate, but the enormous pain gradually subsided, sweat drenched her clothes, and her ink-black hair clung to her cheeks as her once pale lips slowly turned rosy.
After a while, her tightly closed starry eyes slowly opened, a dark blue starlight was deposited in those dark pupils, occasionally shining blue. As the eyes closed and opened again, the starlight gradually faded, quietly sinking into the depths.
She got up and moved; the crisp sounds of bones cracking echoed. Suddenly, she clenched her small fist and then started practicing a set of sharp martial arts techniques. The fist winds carried chilling tearing sounds, and every leap and flip was accompanied by a milky white wind. Though seeming lightweight, they held tremendous power.
When the final move was completed, Bi Xia collected her stance, exhaled lightly, twisted her neck slightly, a smile tugged at her lips, and with a wave of her hand, her outfit changed into a military uniform, and a giant mirror appeared in front of her.
She raised her hand to place the gender-hiding necklace, which had been clenched in her palm all along, around her neck, then she looked up at the mirror. The girl in the mirror had now transformed into a boy.
The face that was once gentle now bore more pronounced features, making the previously feminine little face more androgynous. The originally voluptuous figure gradually flattened. She raised a hand to touch her chest; the soft feel made Bi Xia raise her eyebrow, it seemed the changes were visual after all.
After the transformation by the Marrow-Washing Liquid, the once rough face became much smoother and fairer, and she seemed to have grown two centimeters taller, enhancing her already remarkable looks.
Half-squinting her starry eyes, she looked at the character panel on the screen with a faint smile.

This time, the Marrow-Washing Liquid significantly improved her physique and body strength. Although it only raised her level by one, she felt much more powerful, and all her abilities increased by one level. Not bad, not bad.
Exiting the learning space, Bi Xia casually walked to the desk, raised her hand to open the diary she had once written, and suddenly laughed lightly. She applied a bit of force, tearing the diary in half.
Bullying, mockery, low self-esteem, school violence—all these had pervaded her past whenever she was at school, but from the day she, Bi Xia, came back, she would never let it happen again!
