The bug had been jumping rope for two entire months. It should have been a very strenuous exercise, but Ma Lin actually found it to be filled with pleasure.
Training energy in this way was truly relaxing.
It was like the pleasure of deep sleep, his body constantly slowly progressing, evolving.
Until the bug mastered all kinds of fancy jumping techniques and became incredibly adept.
Then it switched to bouncing balls.
It spun its own silk, shaping a small, elastic ball, and began practicing bouncing the ball. At first, no matter how it bounced the ball, it would go all over the place; later on, it could keep it going for thousands of hits. Eventually, it moved on to using its head to bounce the ball—an action of higher difficulty, but with more practice, it gradually became more and more skilled.
