Cheng Shane's confidence to confront the huge snake stemmed from his breakthrough to the potential stage but he had made a mistake and he was incapable of defeating it because his body was in a state of transformation but the energy was nowhere to be seen.
Perhaps he had thought with the huge body of the snake, he would be able to gain massive amounts of energy for himself. In the end, however, things did not seem to go his way. The fight not only drained his energy faster, but the speed of transformation seemed to have increased unfortunately he lacked enough energy to support the process.
Had he not decided to escape with the fish, and had been caught under the water, it would have eventually become a huge disaster for him.
Thajfully when he got the fish, at least it helped him stop the deterioration of his Physique and the same time added him extra time to hunt more wild animals.
This was also the reason why he had failed to realize that his body was not looking well, at the time, as he resembled an old man. Let alone having a mirror, if the water was clear, there would have been a probability he would have realized this. But he was not in a good state to care about these things, only after he hunted the wild boars and stuffed his stomach did his state seem to be improving.
He had consumed more than five wold boars before he stopped, in the end, he felt drowsy and passed out. Thanks to the massive amount of energy his body seemed to have increased the state of transformation.
Boom!
Boom!
Cheng Shane's body seemed to vibrate from time to time. More importantly, with the vibrations inside his body, the sound of his heartbeat was audible, though not as loudly as back on the other side of the river.
Even though Cheng Shane's body was trembling violently as the energy was being absorbed by the cells, he was in a comfortable state. One could see it on his face, at the same time he seemed to regain his youthful appearance slowly.
The sound of his heartbeat wasn't the only thing audible, rather his blood seemed to be making some sound as it flowed through the body just like some small stream.
The process of transformation seemed to last longer but the changes were indeed much more admirable. For him, these new changes were probably the best thing that ever happened and when he opened his eyes it was about an hour later.
He had reverted to the youthful self and more importantly waist.
But he did not bother with that, rather the first thing he did was to check himself and he felt he had not changed much. Or to be more specific, he had a feeling he had become ordinary, but he liked this feeling.
"With all this transformation I would not turn into an ordinary person right?" he just thought about it for a moment before throwing this thought away, as he felt his situation.
He actually could hear numerous sounds and they seemed to be coming from all directions. He almost had a headache luckily it did not seem to be that bad, as he adapted after a little while.
"My sense of hearing seems to have magnified several times. Is this evolution? But the Attributes on the panel have not changed in the slightest." he threw out a punch and the sound of his fist traveling through the air could be heard.
Before the transformation had been completed, Cheng Shan seemed to feel that he had indeed become stronger, but there always seemed to be that feeling of emptiness, but not it was not there.
He felt when the punch was thrown out casually he could kill a cow. This was indeed true, his current abilities seemed to have improved. More importantly, his cells did not seem to have the desire for energy compared to before as he completed the transformation.
He also seemed to be pleased with his current state as his body was no longer giving off the extraordinary aura or pressure, rather it seemed to have turned into an ordinary person's.
The only difference between him and an ordinary person would be the massive power surging in his blood. He seemed to have gained something from the Five Animal Boxing, that even his body aura seemed to no longer leak. But more importantly, the stage he was at seemed to be responsible for it, after all having reached the category of 200 years on Lifespan was not a small matter and probably his body seemed to have come up with a mechanism to restrain the energy. This however did not seem to be something he could understand or comprehend as such he threw it behind his mind.
The thing that he knew at this moment was that his body would probably require massive amounts of energy from now on. The normal things would not be able to help him out at all, and in this way, he had to come up with the most effective means to deal with it. He can't always hunt, besides, he was supposed to travel and study his martial arts to make another improvement.
When Cheng Shan felt that his state was okay, he walked out of the cave and looked into the distance, he could feel the sound of animals.
"Let's try and locate any animals in the Five Animal Boxing if a chance presents itself and breakthrough from this proficient stage." he was more willing to see the change after he made a breakthrough.
With the advantage of advanced senses, he was not in a hurry to leave the forest as such he started to move based on the directions with sounds.
As he walked he looked at his body with lost in thought. Even though he had ignored an important issue at the moment it was still within his concerns.
