Twenty kilometers with added weight. Bai Ge felt the strain after just ten minutes, with five kilograms attached to each leg for a total of ten kilograms.

"Boss, based on my estimates, you've done enough to this extent. You can rest and switch to another project," the coach said.

Bai Ge shook his head and continued to jog, watching the mileage count on the treadmill.

In reality, he wasn't tired, because his stamina was inexhaustible.

All humans needed to eat to gain calories, and that was clearly too slow.

Bai Ge had one more source of stamina than all other humans: electrical energy.

The stamina he consumed per hour was enough to be replenished by the cecum in the magma pool alone.

Theoretically, as long as his water, salt, sugar, protein, and vitamin intake were sufficient, the energy within his body was enough to allow him to keep exercising.

On Earth, no human had higher stamina than him. After all, he could just recharge.

Several times, the coach had estimated Bai Ge was about to run out of stamina, but Bai Ge had stubbornly completed the workout.

Bai Ge only rested once that morning, to replenish the salt lost through profuse sweating. He drank half a barrel of the sports drink the coach had prepared.

"Ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred... That's enough, let's rest," the coach said. He watched Bai Ge finish a training plan ten times his usual volume, completely unable to imagine Bai Ge could endure it.

Having enough stamina didn't mean one could endure indefinitely. Even if stamina remained full, fatigue still existed.

Bai Ge had gritted his teeth to persevere, not even using the Calm Command. This kind of exhaustion was nothing; it was far easier to endure than the prolonged high pressure and suffocation he felt in the mantle.

"Go prepare another... no, a meal for three. I feel like I need to eat every two hours," Bai Ge said, continuing his arm strength training.

His clothes were completely soaked with sweat, and white salt crystals were visible on them.

The coach had given up trying to persuade Bai Ge. He could see that Bai Ge's stamina was astonishing.

Even he himself would have collapsed from exhaustion if he did this much training, yet Bai Ge was still maintaining his pace.

The training continued until nightfall, when Bai Ge finally completed his tenfold training volume.

His body was drenched in sweat, and his clothes could be wrung out to produce a 'splashing' sound. Salt crystals clung to his skin like white sand.

Bai Ge didn't collapse immediately. Instead, he took a shower and emerged still energetic.

His stamina hadn't actually been depleted; it was just muscle soreness.

"I've always wondered, do you wear a bow tie even when you shower?" the coach asked.

Bai Ge smiled and replied, "Yes, it's very important to me. You understand."

The coach nodded, believing he understood.

He then silently tidied up the tableware, no longer questioning Bai Ge's training volume.

By the end of the day, Bai Ge had drunk four barrels of the special sports drink, eaten six servings of nutritional meals, and consumed two cans of protein powder.

He rested for a few minutes after each exercise, but otherwise, he was training continuously.

The coach could tell that Bai Ge was finding it very difficult. For example, in the 'bent-over row' exercise, Bai Ge's muscle mass wasn't enough to complete it with proper form, so he did it very slowly, but never carelessly.

He wasn't aiming for speed, just for effective execution.

If the coach were to do Bai Ge's training volume, he would definitely be exhausted by now.

What the coach didn't know was that Bai Ge even did extra training at the hotel after returning home each night.

In private, Bai Ge didn't need to hide his super-stamina. Simple exercises like bench presses and squats were performed repeatedly. Often, he would do an extra thousand bench presses or squats in a single night.

That wasn't all. Next was impact resistance training, constantly adapting his muscles and bones to different levels of blunt force.

He wasn't seeking significant results from a single instance; even a tiny bit of effect was enough. This small effect, accumulated through continuous training in the future, would eventually reach a terrifying level without any upper limit.

Basically, Bai Ge would train until late at night every day before sleeping.

Furthermore, Bai Ge wasn't idle even while sleeping. He entered his brain hole and immersed his entire body in the magma pool.

He would sleep until the next morning, when the Bell would wake him.

The first thing Bai Ge did upon waking was put on his weights.

Except for when he was in the magma pool, he never took off the weights at any time of the day. He even walked to and from the hotel instead of taking a car.

During the day, he underwent comprehensive training at the fitness center, strengthening every inch of his muscles. After returning to the hotel, he would practice impact resistance.

This cycle continued. After five days, Bai Ge's body was no longer as thin and weak as it was initially.

Due to the massive amount of exercise and protein intake, he had regained a small portion of his muscle mass in a short period.

With such an enormous amount of exercise, his weight gain would no longer include fat.

He tested his punching power every day. On the first day, it was only ninety kilograms.

Now, on the fifth day, his punching power had reached one hundred and fourteen kilograms.

"Five days, an increase of twenty-four kilograms. With this training volume, that's an average of almost five kilograms of punching power increase per day. If I work a bit harder for a month, won't I be able to increase my punching power by one hundred and fifty kilograms?" Bai Ge muttered.

The coach, overhearing him, burst into laughter. "What are you thinking? Boss, I must admit you're incredibly hardworking, even excessively so. But I have to tell you, strength training isn't just about effort."

Bai Ge smiled and said, "Oh?"

The coach, seemingly struck by Bai Ge's stamina over the past few days, immediately seized the opportunity to say, "The reason you've made such significant progress is because you were too thin when you first arrived, your muscles were even a bit atrophied."

"After these few days of high-intensity training and a large intake of protein, your muscle mass has reached the level of an average person. Because of the rapid increase in muscle mass, your punching power has grown so significantly. This kind of thing only happens at the beginning. Once your muscles are formed, it will take much more exercise than this to increase your punching power by even one kilogram. How could progress remain constant?"

Bai Ge nodded in agreement. Normally, what the coach said was right.

He had just rapidly increased his muscle mass, which was why his strength grew so quickly.

A person's muscles would eventually stabilize, and it would be difficult to increase strength after that.

But Bai Ge knew he wasn't normal.

He would always make progress in strength. With this much training volume, he could gain five kilograms of punching power in a day.

Actually, it was even more than that. Because Bai Ge's training was comprehensive, it included muscle strength, jumping ability, reaction time, and also resistance to damage.

Basically, all-around physical qualities were improving, except for cellular activity.

In a month, his punching power would reach over 260 kilograms, which was a heavy punch only possessed by world-class boxers.

Bai Ge's current weight was only sixty kilograms. Compared to his height of 1.8 meters, he could be considered skinny.

But if he continued this kind of training repeatedly, in a month he would be able to exert four times his body weight in strength.

This kind of efficiency would scare the boxing champions to death. In two months, he could break all human strength records.

In fact, this was also because Bai Ge could only handle this much training volume in the early stages.

This was a characteristic where 'progress was small' in the early stages.

Later on, as his strength grew, the training he did today would become increasingly easier, and the speed would also increase.

Today he could only do this much training. What about in the future? It might be double the training volume.

When he became stronger, he could do five or even ten times the training volume in a day.

Completing today's training volume ten times over would increase his punching power by 1500 kilograms in a month.

Completing today's training volume a hundred times over would increase his punching power by 15,000 kilograms in a month!

Increasing training volume didn't necessarily have to be in quantity; it could also be in quality, such as with added weight.

A thousand times the added weight would almost be equivalent to magnifying the training volume by a thousand times, directly resulting in 150,000 kilograms of punching power.

The stronger Bai Ge became, the greater his improvement efficiency would be.

Bai Ge had no so-called human limit. Plus, he hadn't tampered with his muscle upper limit, so muscle mass would gradually become less correlated with strength.

When he felt his muscle mass was sufficient and further growth would make him bulky, Bai Ge would stop his protein intake.

Later on, his weight would stop increasing, but his strength would continue to surge.

At that point, he would have completely entered the realm of the 'abnormal.'

"Unlocking the limiter is like a runaway wild horse..."

"Perhaps I only need three years of training to become so strong that I can't even understand myself..."

"Hmm... I won't go bald, right?"
