Of course, such extreme speed could only be maintained for a very short time.
After all, Yang Yu's physical fitness had yet to be cleansed by Cosmic Energy, so he still fell far short in endurance and flexibility.
However, with such accumulated Martial Way experience and foundation, even if his Spiritual Force did not awaken, Yang Yu was confident he could deal with Monsters!
After all, Monsters evolved step by step. During the early stages of mutation, they would not be too powerful.
Or rather, there were very few powerful Monsters.
After several more days, Yang Yu had perfectly integrated Blade Technique, Fist Technique, and Movement Technique.
Over these two months, Yang Yu had completely immersed himself in the Martial Way.
It was not until the Double R Virus had begun to spread that he suddenly realized what was happening.
Looking at the reports on television, Yang Yu checked the date. Sure enough, it was already January.
Seeing the increasingly dire situation, Yang Yu said to his Grandfather beside him, "Grandfather, let's try not to go out during this time. We have enough food at home anyway, so let's wait quietly and see whether things improve."
Grandpa Yang, who was sitting nearby, also knew how serious the situation was. "All right, Xiao Yu. We'll stay home for now. Good thing you bought plenty of rice some time ago, so at least we won't have to worry about food. Right, I'll stock up on more clean water right away. That way, it won't matter even if we have to stay home for a while longer."
As he spoke, Grandpa Yang took out the spare buckets and various containers at home and began storing water.
Yang Yu also called Wang Lin, telling his family to quickly stockpile supplies at home. They should exercise at home whenever possible and quietly wait for the situation to develop.
Although the virus was only ravaging the Western Hemisphere at the moment, with its astonishing transmissibility and mutation rate, spreading across the globe was only a matter of time.
Sure enough, as time passed, infection cases began appearing in more and more places, and the situation looked critical.
Most people stayed quietly at home, waiting for the situation to become clear.
Everyone had originally thought this would be like before, something that could be overcome soon enough.
But as time passed.
People began to feel that something was wrong.
More and more people around them began showing symptoms, and many found it difficult to recover on their own after the symptoms appeared.
At that point.
The Double R Virus had spread throughout the entire world.
Everyone was plunged into crisis.
Watching the news reports.
Yang Yu's heart felt exceptionally heavy, because his grandfather had begun showing symptoms as well!
Although his grandfather had taken many medicines to boost his immunity beforehand, they had still been useless. At his advanced age, his grandfather's resistance was ultimately inferior to that of young people.
All Yang Yu could do was silently pray that his grandfather would pull through this ordeal.
Over the next few days, Yang Yu even stopped training in the Martial Way and devoted himself to staying by his grandfather's bedside, bringing him tea and water, feeding him meals and medicine.
Having already perfectly fused with the original owner's soul, Yang Yu had long regarded the kind and warm old man before him as his own grandfather.
Finally, three days later, Grandpa Yang, who had been running a high fever and drifting in and out of consciousness, began showing signs of his fever breaking. A day later, the fever had completely subsided, and his overall condition had improved greatly.
Seeing this, Yang Yu finally let out a huge sigh of relief.
"Grandfather, don't talk too much right now. Rest and recuperate properly. The television said that as long as you make it through the hardest three days, all you need to do afterward is wait for your body to heal on its own."
"I made you worry, Xiao Yu." Grandpa Yang looked at Yang Yu with kind, warm eyes, though his voice was weak. He wanted to raise a hand to stroke Yang Yu's head, but he could not lift it no matter how hard he tried.
Noticing this, Yang Yu hurriedly took his grandfather's hand. "Grandfather, stop talking and rest peacefully. You always took care of me before. Now it's time for me to take care of you."
At those words, Grandpa Yang's eyes immediately misted over. He no longer forced himself to speak, merely nodded, his gaze toward Yang Yu filled with relief and gratification.
Over the following days, Grandpa Yang's body indeed began recovering slowly.
A week later, he had fully regained his health.
And remarkably, after Grandpa Yang recovered, his physical fitness was actually far superior to what it had been before he fell ill.
Grandpa Yang was overjoyed when he noticed this.
But the one thing that worried him was that Yang Yu still showed no signs of illness whatsoever.
According to the news broadcasts, that was not actually a good sign.
Many people had appeared completely normal before showing symptoms, but once they developed fever and coma, they became more seriously ill than those who showed symptoms from the beginning, and their mortality rate was higher as well!
Moreover, as the Double R Virus spread and mutated, the later people became infected, the slower they recovered on their own and the higher their mortality rate became!
As time passed.
Aside from people like Grandpa Yang, who had already recovered on their own and developed antibodies, everyone else began showing symptoms of varying severity.
Finally, on February 5th.
The Double R Virus mutated into its most troublesome stage!
Originally, Yang Yu could still rely on his Human Body Limit physical fitness to endure it.
But when the ultimate version of the Double R Virus entered Yang Yu's lungs through the all-pervading air.
Yang Yu began showing the corresponding symptoms as well!
First came dizziness, then a low-grade fever, followed by a high fever!
This worried Grandpa Yang terribly.
Fortunately, Yang Yu was only unconscious for one night. When he woke the following morning, he had already regained clarity.
"How incredible!"
Yang Yu, now fully recovered, got up and carefully sensed the changes in his body. "Nothing can be seen from the outside, yet earth-shaking changes have taken place inside!"
Having cultivated Neijiaquan to the Master Realm, Yang Yu's control over his body had become nearly perfect.
His body, which had been unable to gain even a trace of strength no matter how he trained.
Now felt reborn to Yang Yu. Every cell and every muscle fiber within him seemed to have been hungry for an incredibly long time!
"The Double R Virus, mutated to its limit, truly contains a great secret. It actually has such miraculous effects."
After practicing a set of San Ti Shi, Xingyi Five Elements Fist, and Twelve Form Fist.
Yang Yu clearly felt the strength within his body increase by a trace!
This meant that Yang Yu's physical fitness, which had originally reached its limit, could now improve again.
And Yang Yu could not feel any upper limit to that improvement at all!
Furthermore, while wholeheartedly practicing San Ti Shi and boxing, Yang Yu's powerful senses could even faintly perceive some unknown energy drifting through the universe!
He had wanted to immediately sit in meditation and follow the cultivation method of the Five Hearts Toward Heaven Method to see whether he could absorb Cosmic Energy.
But Yang Yu held himself back and chose to go to the living room first to reassure his grandfather. "Grandfather, I'm better now! You don't need to worry about me anymore."
At that moment, Grandpa Yang was making porridge in the kitchen. Seeing that Yang Yu had woken up so quickly, he was filled with joy. "Xiao Yu, you're amazing! You were only unconscious for one night and you're already better. That's wonderful, truly wonderful!"
"It seems letting you leave school to focus on martial arts was the right decision after all. Sure enough, having a healthy body is what truly matters."
Grandpa Yang was extremely excited.
