After finishing his cultivation, Xie Yu practically stumbled over to the dining table.
The robot butler had barely set a high-protein nutritional meal on the table before he grabbed his utensils and began wolfing it down.
At that moment, the food's coarse texture and strange taste no longer mattered at all.
An almost maddening hunger had utterly taken over his will.
His body seemed to have been wrung dry by cultivation, every cell screaming for fuel.
Swallowing had become instinctive. His stomach digested the food with unprecedented efficiency, sending energy deep into his still-trembling muscles.
Only after his fifth meal did the hunger that made his heart pound ease a little.
Letting out a long breath, Xie Yu leaned back in his chair and looked at the empty plates, realizing that this special Body Tempering Method was fundamentally transforming his metabolism.
This matched the information recorded by 734 exactly.
According to that information, the method's core principle differed from exercises such as running and weightlifting, which stimulated muscle growth.
It primarily worked by guiding muscle fibers into high-frequency microscopic tremors.
These tremors could cause extensive microscopic damage to muscle fibers in an extremely short time.
To repair this microscopic damage and cope with this unprecedented pattern of energy consumption, the body would instinctively raise its basal metabolic rate significantly.
This explained both the intense hunger and how food could be converted and used so quickly.
It was essentially a more efficient cycle of destruction and reconstruction.
It bypassed the wasted energy and joint wear caused by large-scale movement, targeting the microscopic level of physical strengthening directly.
To understand his physical changes more accurately, he went to his home's fitness area.
He prepared to assess those changes comprehensively.
The tests began with the exercise he knew best: the bench press.
