Quanjiang City, Jincheng District.
Wutong Village.
Early morning.
Giggle, giggle, giggle——
"Heh——"
Accompanied by the crowing of a rooster.
Chen Sheng took a sharp breath, waking up all at once.
Thump, thump, thump.
Heartbeat sounding like muffled drums, incessantly exploding next to his ear.
Noisy sounds, from the outside world, kept flowing into his ears, making him somewhat agitated.
Chen Sheng threw off the quilt, and went to the window.
With a bang.
He slammed the window shut.
In an instant.
The entire world became much quieter.
Returning to bed, Chen Sheng breathed deeply a few times, his heartbeat gradually calming down.
What the hell is going on?
Chen Sheng furrowed his brow, as he sat contemplating by the bedside.
He had been back for several days.
In the past, due to his training, Chen Sheng used to sleep very soundly.
Outside noise never bothered him.
But today, these sounds seemed to have been amplified several times, this is why he had awoken abruptly.
Chen Sheng summoned his panel.
Nothing exceptional on the panel, still maintaining last night's values.
Suddenly,
Chen Sheng's gaze fell on the Agility Attribute.
[Agility: Represents body coordination, sensory activity, and neural reflex.]
Since he had the panel, last night was the first time the Agility Attribute rose.
Could it be his sensory changes originated from the Agility Attribute?
Thinking about this,
Chen Sheng immediately walked out of the room, and went to the balcony to experiment.
Standing at the edge of the balcony, he gazed into the distance.
Chen Sheng's vision, due to sitting in the office staring at the computer screen for many years, although not bad, definitely wasn't good either.
In the past, as long as he stared at something for a little bit too long, his eyes would get sore, and his vision would rapidly blur.
There were frequent occurrences of losing focus too.
But now,
Chen Sheng was looking at the golden rice fields in the distance, and the busy silhouettes in the field.
He could even see the color of the clothes the people in the rice field were wearing.
For many people with good eyesight, this would be quite normal.
But Chen Sheng hadn't seen such a clear view in God knows how long.
Not only that.
When Chen Sheng concentrated his attention.
He could faintly hear the voices of the aunties downstairs chatting.
He could smell the aroma drifting from the nearby breakfast shop.
Every sense was a lot clearer than before.
The new experience made him stay on the balcony for a long time.
Until the gurgling sound of hunger came from his stomach, did Chen Sheng snap back to his senses.
Seeing that it was still early.
Chen Sheng headed to the bathroom, preparing to brush and wash up.
But when he looked into the mirror, he got a scare.
The Chen Sheng in the mirror, his face completely pale, lips devoid of any color.
It was distinctly the look of someone with a markedly depleted body.
"What the fuck?!"
"What's going on?!"
Chen Sheng looked shocked.
He clearly didn't feel anything wrong with his body.
So why did he look so terrible?
Could it be he trained too much, causing his body to become depleted?
Thinking it over, Chen Sheng felt that this explanation seemed the most reasonable.
Once he thought of this.
He immediately abandoned his original plan to practice the Three-body Stance before going out.
When he gets to the gym, he will ask Tiger Bro if it's because of the Three-body Stance.
Thinking this, Chen Sheng directly walked out of the door, heading towards the vegetable market to shop for food.
One hour later.
Chen Sheng, carrying big and small bags of food arrived home, filling up the fridge to the brim.
Next,
He made a few Banana Peanut Butter Sandwiches, quickly filled his stomach, and then headed out again.
After much hesitation.
Chen Sheng did not plan to give up on morning jogging.
Jogging for him now, shouldn't amount to a lot of energy expended.
If any problem arises, he will simply stop immediately.
After slightly stretching his arms and legs.
Chen Sheng took up pace once again, running towards the urban area.
On his way,
Due to the significant increase in his attributes, Chen Sheng felt an unprecedented ease.
The situation he had been constantly worrying about didn't occur.
One hour later.
Chen Sheng stopped downstairs of the gym.
He opened a bottle of mineral water, taking small sips.
After slightly calming his breathing, Chen Sheng called out the panel.
His physical attribute had increased by 0.03.
Now, he was finally able to run the full course without stopping, and even his speed was faster than before.
After resting for a while, Chen Sheng saw the gym just opening and went directly to the receptionist to get his wristband and then headed to the changing room.
As soon as he entered the changing room, Chen Sheng heard a familiar loud voice.
"Little Chen!"
Strong Bro was changing his clothes, and as soon as he saw Chen Sheng, he greeted him warmly.
But the next second,
A shocked expression appeared on his face.
"Kid, where did you go last night?"
"Don't tell me you went to brothel?"
Having said that, without waiting for Chen Sheng to answer, Strong Bro patted his shoulder earnestly.
"I know you young people are full of vim and vigour, but we martial artists, are greatly dependent on our seminal and vital energy."
"Occasionally it's okay, but remember not to indulge too much."
After hearing Strong Bro's remarks,
Chen Sheng was confused.
"What are you talking about?"
"I was at home all night practicing the Three-body Stance. I didn't go anywhere."
Hearing this, Strong Bro appeared even more surprised.
"The Three-body Stance?"
"Show me how you do it."
A newbie, just starting to learn the Three-body Stance, and without a teacher by their side to correct their posture, simply cannot grasp the essentials of the movements right away.
And without mastering the essentials of the Three-body Stance, it wouldn't cause this kind of vital energy deficiency.
Therefore, Strong Bro wanted to see how Chen Sheng was practicing the Three-body Stance.
Hearing this,
Chen Sheng nodded, adjusted his body on the spot, and demonstrated the starting movements of Three Body Posture Kungfu.
Strong Bro sat in the chair, appearing quite relaxed.
Truth be told,
He didn't believe Chen Sheng's deficiency of vital energy was due to practicing the Three-body Stance.
Although he hadn't formally trained with Li Chenghu, he also learned the Three-body stance for health and fitness.
He spent an entire month just to barely be able to correctly complete the Three-body Stance without a teacher.
However,
When Chen Sheng officially started,
Strong Bro's expression changed instantly.
From originally relaxed, it gradually turned into shock.
Three minutes later.
With a swish, Strong Bro suddenly stood up from his chair.
His actions were so abrupt that he knocked over the chair.
But Strong Bro didn't care about it.
"You...you..."
His eyes were as wide as copper bells, pointing at Chen Sheng, he was speechless for a long time.
"What's wrong, Strong Bro, did I do something wrong in my practice?"
Seeing Strong Bro's reaction, Chen Sheng thought he was doing it wrong and hurriedly stopped and asked.
Smack!
Strong Bro didn't say a word.
He just grabbed Chen Sheng's wrist and led him straight out of the changing room.
Despite the significant enhancement of his attributes, in front of Strong Bro, the muscular monster, Chen Sheng still had no resistance.
He could only allow himself to be led.
"Strong Bro, where are we going?"
On the way, Chen Sheng attempted to ask, but received no answer.
They arrived in front of Tiger Bro's private fitness area.
Bang bang bang!!
Strong Bro knocked on the door hurriedly.
"Tiger Bro! Tiger Bro!"
"Are you here?!"
After about a few seconds.
With a click,
The room door opened in response.
Li Chenghu was standing in the doorway in casual clothes, looking displeased.
He was holding a meat bun in his hand that he hadn't finished eating.
"Don't you know this is my mealtime?"
"If it's not something important, you might have to train with me later."
If he heard this in the past, Strong Bro would certainly have turned around and run away.
But today, he wasn't scared at all.
"Tiger Bro, this kid, he's a genius!!!"
Strong Bro directly pulled over a dumbfounded Chen Sheng and said excitedly.
