Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: The Function of the Rune!

After thoroughly enjoying the kind of treatment only babies receive, Yun Chuan, just like yesterday, got up, brushed his teeth, washed his face, and took care of his personal hygiene.

Then, just like yesterday, he was carried by the Female Pope and flew to the training ground. As for breakfast, he didn't need it today, because the Source of Life was much more nutritious than an ordinary breakfast.

Today's training still involved wearing a small vest weighing several hundred pounds and running a full lap around the entire avenue. The Female Pope, just like yesterday, stood at the starting and ending point, silently waiting for him to complete his lap.

Today, Yun Chuan's psychological and physical states were completely different from yesterday. He had begun to take this simple training seriously, no longer reluctant or even somewhat dismissive as he was yesterday.

As he took his first step and started running!

The rune on his forehead, just like yesterday, emitted a strange fluctuation, guiding him to unconsciously adjust his running posture, control his breathing, and guide the flow of his blood… mobilizing all the blood, meridians, bones, and spirit power in his body. It aided him in running!

Yun Chuan once again entered that state of self-forgetfulness, carefully experiencing the feeling of 100% perfect control over his body, striving to remember this sensation… He felt that if he could enter this state of 100% body control at any time, his combat ability would definitely skyrocket by more than ten times!

Having ten parts of strength, but only being able to use one or two or three parts due to insufficient control—this is actually a common problem for everyone. The only difference is that some people control more power, while others control less.

The so-called 'invincible among peers' comes from this: with the same level, the same amount of power, and the same skills, the winner will definitely be the one with a higher degree of control over their own power.

This is absolutely beyond doubt.

If Yun Chuan could turn this 100% control state into his instinct, then achieving invincibility among peers and challenging higher levels would definitely be a very easy task.

It's easy to say, but to be able to enter this divinely assisted state at any time, Yun Chuan felt that he probably had a long way to go. He didn't know how long it would take to achieve self-control without the aid of the rune!

Time quietly passed.

When Yun Chuan saw Bibi Dong's figure in the distance again, he immediately woke up from his state of self-forgetfulness. He found that he was different today from yesterday. In this state of 100% perfect self-control, he could clearly perceive that he had indeed made significant progress compared to yesterday. At least when he exited this magical state later, he wouldn't be so tired that he fainted like yesterday.

His speed gradually slowed down, and Yun Chuan slowly exited that divinely assisted state, feeling a sense of loss as his body gradually lost control. He wondered when he would truly be able to control his body 100%.

As his body gradually lost control and he exited that divinely assisted state, the after-effects of over-exercising his body immediately surged up, causing Yun Chuan immense pain!

Slowly, his running speed became slower and slower, and his body gradually calmed down from the high-intensity run. Finally, he slowed to a walk, step by step, until he reached the Female Pope.

Yun Chuan was completely out of breath at this point, unable to even speak.

Bibi Dong looked at the tottering Yun Chuan with heartache. Disregarding his sweat, she directly embraced his small body and then soared into the air, flying towards Spirit City.

Yun Chuan, weak and sore all over, was like a rag doll at this moment, letting the Female Pope hold him. He closed his eyes slightly, inhaling the orchid-like body fragrance, feeling drowsy.

Who knows how much time had passed.

The wind blowing against him suddenly stopped, and then the Female Pope suddenly landed. Yun Chuan, with his eyes closed, realized that they had probably arrived at their destination, because he smelled a familiar medicinal scent, identical to the one he smelled when he woke up yesterday. Clearly, this was Chrysanthemum Douluo's residence.

Although Yun Chuan was still conscious at this moment, he was too tired to even open his eyes. He could feel himself being carried into a room, then a pair of gentle jade hands undressed him, and then slowly placed him into warm liquid…

"Hoo…"

When his entire body was placed into the bathtub, Yun Chuan let out a comfortable sigh, feeling a cool sensation penetrate his skin from the surrounding warm liquid, dissolving all the discomfort in his body.

At this moment, the rune in his forehead stirred again. It emitted a strange fluctuation, slowly covering his entire body… Yun Chuan suddenly had an epiphany and instinctively began to breathe slowly according to a special frequency.

One inhale, one exhale.

The blood in his body was stimulated, beginning to circulate throughout his entire body.

This unique breathing method resonated with every muscle, every inch of bone, and every trace of blood in his body… making Yun Chuan's body seem like a dry sponge, beginning to frantically absorb the medicinal power from the liquid, constantly nourishing himself. The damage sustained from the exercise was thus rapidly repaired!

Only then did Yun Chuan realize that his rapid recovery from strenuous exercise, in addition to his talent and the medicinal bath, was absolutely due to the indispensable role of that rune. He probably unconsciously used this unique breathing method to absorb the medicinal power from the liquid even when he was unconscious yesterday.

Without this unique breathing method, he would never have recovered so quickly yesterday. Even if he had soaked in the medicinal liquid, he would probably still be sore all over and only able to lie in bed resting.

After all, although the medicinal liquid prepared by Chrysanthemum Douluo was good, ordinary people soaking in it would not be able to absorb much of its medicinal power. The vast majority of the medicinal power in the liquid would still be wasted. Furthermore, even if the body absorbed the medicinal power, it would take some time for the medicinal power to take effect. It couldn't be instantly effective as soon as one soaked in it!

However, Yun Chuan's situation was different. The fluctuations emitted by that rune put his body into a magical state, allowing him to absorb 100% of the medicinal power from the liquid, and also immediately maximize the effect of the medicinal power, fully nourishing and repairing his body.

Even if others had the same conditions as him, they wouldn't be able to do what he did without the help of the rune. Yun Chuan realized at this moment that having this rune would definitely allow him to avoid many detours. It was like a silent teacher; it couldn't speak, but it would correct him when he went astray at critical moments and teach him much new knowledge!

As expected of something from the high-level zone. Although this rune might be considered a bottom-tier item in the high-level zone compared to other treasures that grant instant ascension, for his current stage, this rune was definitely the most useful thing.

It's easy to say, but to be able to enter this divinely assisted state at any time, Yun Chuan felt that he probably had a long way to go. He didn't know how long it would take to achieve self-control without the aid of the rune!
