With his life span increasing again, Zhou Shen's entire body, from head to toe, from the inside to the outside, and all his 38,000 pores felt extremely comfortable.

After being happy for a while, he stood up, tidied up and got ready to have dinner.

As a result, he discovered an even more surprising thing. His hands and legs were not sore or painful at all, and he didn't even feel the slightest sensation. It was as if he had never done those exercises in the morning.

"Real or fake?"

In disbelief, Zhou Shen jumped up and down and did push-ups.

He even used his hands to pinch his thighs and calves, as well as his arms, shoulders, and sides of his waist and abdomen. Through such direct stimulation, he tried to prove that the soreness in his thighs had not completely disappeared.

However, reality told him that the muscle soreness in his body had indeed disappeared.

"Damn it, it turns out that the internal energy can really relieve muscle soreness and pain? I thought it was the effect of massage!"

"If I had known earlier, I would have practiced right after lunch!"

Zhou Shen, who came back to his senses, was naturally overjoyed.

Muscle soreness is really excruciating, and it will also affect the progress of practicing external skills.

Now that I know that inner energy can relieve muscle soreness, I won’t have to suffer so much in the future, and it will undoubtedly greatly increase the speed of my cultivation.

But before I could be happy for a while, there was a "gurgling" sound coming from my stomach.

Practicing external skills consumes too much energy.

Although I ate two servings of Sansu Yunfei Soup today, all the energy in my body was consumed due to the exercise, some Xingyi Quan, and the two-hour practice of Daoyin Technique just now.

When I turned on my phone, it buzzed with a series of text message notifications.

It was Wei Biao and grandma who called.

When he was practicing before, he turned on airplane mode because he was worried about being disturbed by someone's phone call.

"Damn it, why did I forget about inviting people to dinner?"

He quickly locked the door and ran along the village road at the door towards Linhuai Town.

5.7 kilometers, doesn’t it just have to have legs?

…

On the way, Zhou Shen called his grandma while running.

The call was quickly connected.

It turns out that grandma just told him to eat on time.

Grandma talked a lot.

Zhou Shen kept responding.

After hanging up the phone, he called Wei Biao again.

"Where is your date with the person you made an appointment with? Chen Xiaohong has been waiting for you for several hours? I have been unable to get through to you on the phone."

Wei Biao's tone was full of resentment.

He and Liang Mei just found out that Zhou Shen and Chen Xiaohong were in the same class and at the same desk.

"I'm... rushing over there, wait a moment."

"What are you doing, out of breath?"

"running……"

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Shen began to concentrate on running.

However, he soon discovered that he had overestimated his own strength again.

The 5.7-kilometer distance would take a normal person about 40 minutes to jog.

But most novices can't finish it at all.

Although his physical strength has increased, it has reached the level of "normal ordinary people without training" and has not exceeded that of ordinary people.

After running less than 2 kilometers, I started to feel uncomfortable. I felt out of breath, and my chest was like a bellows, making a huffing and puffing sound.

"Persistence is victory... well, running, doesn't it just have to have feet...?"

When we reached about 3 kilometers, we were almost out of breath.

Like a drowning fish, it desperately opened its mouth to breathe, its legs felt like lead, and every step it took felt extremely heavy.

My chest felt like it was on fire and it was very uncomfortable.

Because of frequent breathing, a light stream of water flowed out of my nostrils and onto my lips.

But he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand to wipe it. He could only spray the water out through his nose with heavy breathing.

He had an urge to die.

He gritted his teeth and insisted.

"Running...no big deal!"

Finally, after running 4 kilometers, Zhou Shen felt that he had exhausted all his strength and almost broke his teeth.

He really couldn't run anymore.

He stopped and gasped for air.

The sound of breathing could be heard clearly from ten meters away.

He dragged his heavy steps forward for about another kilometer.

Finally, we arrived near his home. There were cars coming and going on the road, many of them old people from Xiaozhou Village.

He stretched out his hand to stop an acquaintance's three-wheeled electric vehicle.

"Um... dad, can you take me forward?"

"Okay, come up."

"Dad, where are you going?"

"Go to the town center primary school."

"Then please take me there..."

After a ride, we finally arrived in town.

At this time Zhou Shen was really tired, hungry and thirsty.

Sweat was still flowing down from his forehead and neck, and his hair and sweatshirt were soaked through.

He slowly walked to the door of Wei Biao's Malatang shop.

The store was very busy. Wei Biao and his wife were busy, and Chen Xiaohong was also helping.

Seeing Zhou Shen coming over, Chen Xiaohong smiled and said: "Business is a little busy today. Wei Biao ordered food from the Sijichun Restaurant next door. He will eat it in the store after it is delivered."

Zhou Shen was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back. How could he have time to be polite to Chen Xiaohong?

"If you have anything to eat, hurry up and get me some first. I'm going to faint from hunger."

Wei Biao, who was bringing out the spicy hot pot, said: "Here is the spicy hot pot. The guest ordered it. We promised to pick it up at 6 o'clock. It's already 7 o'clock and no one has come yet. If you are hungry, eat first. I will

Make another one later.”

"Quick, quick, give it to me."

Zhou Shen couldn't care less, so he took the spicy hot pot from Chen Xiaohong's hand and started to eat it hungrily.

In addition to the ribs, the spicy dry pot also has many side dishes, such as potatoes, onions, lotus roots, bean tendons, cucumbers, carrots, green and red peppers, celery, coriander, etc.

The bowl is bigger than the soup bowl.

Normally enough for two people.

Wei Biao took advantage of the time to collect the money, sat down next to Zhou Shen, and whispered: "Hey Zhou Shen, it turns out that you and Chen Xiaohong are in the same class? You have been hiding it from us. When did you start contacting us?"

"Uh huh..." Zhou Shen said, "I only found out this afternoon... She and your wife are from the same village."

Wei Biao wanted to ask again, but the guests over there had already begun to rush him, so he had to go into the kitchen.

When he brought out the spicy hot pot, less than three minutes later, there was a large plate of spicy hot pot, with only some shriveled millet spicy left in the bowl.

Wei Biao exclaimed: "Damn it, when did you become a commoner, so edible?"

Zhou Shen said: "My body is recovering recently and I urgently need to replenish nutrition. Is there anything to eat? I'm still hungry."

"Still hungry?"

Wei Biao was speechless for a moment, and turned to Chen Xiaohong, who was helping, "Why don't you go eat first? We don't know how long we will be busy here."

In the past, Zhou Shen might have been polite to Wei Biao and waited for him to go to dinner together.

Now, he is doing things more and more as he pleases, and doesn't care about other people's opinions at all.

Only after you have been infinitely close to death can you understand the true meaning of life.

Human life is fleeting like a firefly. There is no need to waste too much time and energy on meaningless things.
