After his training, Xie Yu all but stumbled to the dining table.
The robot butler had just set down a high-protein meal when he grabbed the utensils and wolfed it down.
At that moment, the food's rough texture and strange taste didn't matter at all.
An almost maddening hunger had completely taken over his will.
His body felt as though training had drained it dry. Every cell screamed for fuel.
Swallowing had become instinctive. His stomach digested the food with unprecedented efficiency, sending energy deep into his still-trembling muscles.
It wasn't until he'd finished his fifth meal that the heart-pounding hunger finally began to ease.
With a long sigh, Xie Yu leaned back in his chair and looked at the empty plates. He realized this special Body Tempering Method was fundamentally changing his metabolism.
This matched the information recorded by 734 to the letter.
According to the records, the method's core principle differed from exercises like running or weightlifting, which stimulated muscle growth.
Instead, it guided the muscle fibers into high-frequency microscopic vibrations.
These vibrations caused microscopic damage to a large number of muscle fibers in a very short time.
To repair the damage and cope with this unprecedented pattern of energy consumption, the body instinctively raised its basal metabolic rate by a large margin. This explained the intense hunger and how quickly the food was converted into usable energy.
Essentially, it was a more efficient cycle of destruction and reconstruction.
It bypassed the energy waste and joint strain caused by large-scale movement, targeting the body's enhancement at a microscopic level.
To get a more accurate understanding of the changes in his body, he went to the home gym.
He planned to assess the changes in his body comprehensively.
He started with the bench press, the test he knew best.
