Physical Training, a Strange Constitution (Please Keep Reading)

After learning how important his constitution was to him, Lin Yan immediately drafted a preliminary plan to train his body.

In his view, the simplest way to exercise was nothing more than physical activity.

He was only six years old, still very young, so naturally he would start with the simplest activity: running.

Early in the morning, when the sky had only just begun to brighten, Lin Yan finished a night of meditation, changed into a loose, comfortable set of workout clothes, and went out for a run.

"Strange. They say meditation consumes mental energy, and prolonged meditation makes people feel tired. Why don't I feel that at all? Not only am I not tired, I'm becoming more energized?"

Lin Yan found it very strange.

Both Zhang Lexuan and Lin Yuhuan had said so.

Yet what happened to him was completely contrary to common sense!

After thinking it over, he felt there were two possible explanations.

First, perhaps because he was a transmigrator, his mental strength was exceptionally powerful, so he could not feel fatigued for the time being.

Otherwise, it had something to do with that Martial Soul that seemed to be Tathagata Buddha.

Was that really Tathagata Buddha?

And his mother had said that the Tathagata Buddha Martial Soul seemed to have resulted from a mutation of his father's Martial Soul. Just what kind of Martial Soul did his father have that could mutate into Tathagata Buddha?

Unable to come up with an answer, Lin Yan simply put the matter aside for now. He left the residence and began his morning run.

Originally, he had wanted to run outside the city. There was plenty of open ground there, making it more convenient.

But then he remembered that this was not Blue Star, but the Douluo World. There was no rule of law here, and Soul Masters killing people was a common occurrence.

Though he was a Soul Master, he was only a One-Ring Soul Master. For safety's sake, he ultimately did not risk going outside the city and instead ran along the streets within it.

Nine Treasure City was the headquarters of the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect, so safety within the city was assured.

After an hour, without using Soul Power, he had run twelve kilometers. He was already panting heavily, his clothes completely soaked in sweat and clinging to his body.

He understood that one could not become fat with a single bite. Once he realized he had reached his limit, he did not force himself any further and dragged his somewhat exhausted body home.

Seeing Lin Yan drenched from head to toe as though he had fallen into water, the old steward asked in surprise, "Young Master, did you fall into a puddle so early in the morning?"

Lin Yan shook his head and told the old steward that he had been running to train his body.

The old steward immediately understood. Then, with a hint of admiration, he said, "Young Master, you truly are diligent."

"How else could I become strong without working hard?"

As he spoke, Lin Yan's nose twitched. "What smells so good?"

The old steward brought over a bowl of porridge and said with a smile, "This is dragon meat stew specially ordered by the family head for you. It is highly nourishing. Eating it can strengthen your muscles and bones and improve your constitution. From now on, you must have a bowl every morning. It will be good for your body."

"Dragon meat stew?"

Lin Yan looked into the bowl and immediately saw a large serving of dragon meat cooked until tender and mushy.

This was clearly draconic beast meat, most likely from the two dragon-type Soul Beasts Lin Yuhuan had killed. After Bei Bei and Lin Yan had absorbed their Spirit Rings, Lin Yuhuan had taken both dragon corpses back as ingredients rather than waste them.

The rich aroma wafted into his nose, and Lin Yan's already exhausted stomach immediately growled in protest.

Lin Yan did not stand on ceremony. He took the bowl and wolfed down the entire serving of dragon meat stew in just a few bites.

The next moment, he felt warmth course through his limbs and bones. The fatigue in his body instantly eased considerably.

"Grandpa Steward, is there any more?"

Lin Yan could not help licking his lips as he asked.

"Of course. If you want more, I'll have the kitchen make it right away."

"Alright, then please have the kitchen make three more bowls of dragon meat stew like this."

"Three bowls?"

The old steward stared at Lin Yan in shock. "Young Master, can you really eat that much?"

Lin Yan said, "Just bring them over!"

More than half an hour later, the old steward arrived with servants carrying three bowls of dragon meat stew.

Then Lin Yan ate all three bowls clean in front of him, without leaving even a shred of meat behind.

The old steward was left utterly dumbfounded by the sight.

Even for a Soul Master, should a six-year-old child really be able to eat so much?

Meanwhile, Lin Yan stood up with a satisfied expression.

If he had previously been so exhausted from running twelve kilometers that he had not wanted to move even a finger, then now he had practically been resurrected at full health. He had completely returned to peak condition, with no trace of fatigue remaining in his body. He felt as though he could go run another twelve kilometers.

At first, Lin Yan had not noticed anything unusual.

But after training for several days, he gradually discovered that something was wrong.

No matter how exhausted he became during physical training, as long as he ate enough food, his fatigue would immediately vanish and he would be restored to full health.

Of all foods, Soul Beast meat rich in blood and vitality energy worked best.

If he ate ordinary food with little energy, he had to make up for the lack of quality with quantity to achieve the same effect.

"How strange!"

Lin Yan examined himself curiously.

Ever since becoming a Soul Master, he felt that more and more strange things were happening to him.

At the same time, Lin Yuhuan learned of this matter from the old steward. A look of surprise immediately appeared on her face. "Something like that actually happened?"

"Yes."

The old steward nodded with an odd expression. "Family Head, you may not believe it. This afternoon, the Young Master began all sorts of high-intensity physical training at noon and kept going. Every time, he trained until he was on the verge of collapse, then he ate a huge meal and immediately returned to full health before continuing. He ate, trained, then ate again after training, all the way until evening. He ate dozens of pounds of the draconic beast meat you brought back last time in a single afternoon."

Hearing this, Lin Yuhuan frowned and immediately recalled the time they had absorbed Spirit Rings in Thunder Grand Canyon.

They had both been four-hundred-year Spirit Rings, yet Bei Bei had taken an hour and a half to absorb his, while Lin Yan had taken only fifteen minutes.

"Could there be something wrong with this boy's constitution?" Lin Yuhuan muttered in confusion.

"Family Head, I think there must be. What normal person can be exhausted to the point of nearly collapsing, then fully recover just by eating a full meal?" the old steward offered his opinion.

That evening, Lin Yuhuan found Lin Yan and brought up the matter.

"Lin Yan, do you feel any discomfort anywhere?"

"No, Grandma!"

"Then how do you feel after exercising and eating?"

"How do I feel? Well... I feel warm all over, and the fatigue in my body gradually disappears!" Lin Yan said thoughtfully.

"There really is a problem. I just don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing. Come, Grandma will take you to see someone."

Lin Yan was brought by Lin Yuhuan to meet an elderly man with graying hair.

"Your Excellency, coming to see this old man so late at night... could there be some urgent matter?" The old man stroked his goatee and asked with a smile.

Lin Yan studied the man. On the way here, he had already asked around and learned that this man was the strongest healing-type Soul Master within the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect.

Lin Yuhuan had brought him here because she wanted this man to examine him and see whether there was something wrong with his body!
