Instantly.
Countless subtle techniques and knowledge flooded Wang Ye's mind, like thousands of intertwined threads, weaving into a complete system of Running.
Wang Ye's pupils constricted slightly.
He felt that his understanding of Running had instantly elevated to a higher level.
The previous running posture and techniques, in his eyes, gradually became clumsy.
This enhancement even radiated into his muscle nerves, forming muscle memory that can only be cultivated through years of Running. Besides this, his muscles' Neural Recruitment Ability also considerably increased. Simply put, his muscle explosiveness had become stronger.
Unfortunately, today he was already exhausted, and his body's energy was nearly depleted.
Otherwise, Wang Ye would definitely run another five kilometers to test just how much he had improved.
After his heart rate calmed down, Wang Ye took out a sports plastic water bottle of about 500ml from his sling canvas bag.
This type of bottle is generally used by fitness enthusiasts to mix supplements like protein powder, creatine, and electrolyte powder that tend to clump and settle. But because it's relatively portable and easy to drink from, Wang Ye prefers to use it as his daily drinking water bottle.
Wang Ye opened the lid, took a sip of electrolyte water, the salty-sweet taste stimulated his taste buds, and the soreness and fatigue throughout his body gradually dissipated a bit.
Then, Wang Ye put the water bottle back in his sling bag, stood up, walked along the sidewalk back to the community, and bought two big meat buns at the entrance.
He went upstairs, munching on the buns along the way.
Back home, Wang Ye chewed and swallowed the last bite of the bun.
Then he wrote down the data of his ten kilometers and five kilometers on the draft paper in the study.
After completing today's test results, he immediately took a shower and lay down on the bed to sleep.
...
...
April 22.
Morning.
10:01
Wang Ye stood in front of the mirror, touched his hairline at the corner of his forehead, his eyes surprised.
"Why does it feel like... my hair has become thicker?"
Four days ago, his hairline was still in a state of third-degree hair loss due to his long-term nights of working overtime.
But now, his hairline had actually moved down a few centimeters, the color dense and black, each strand fine, making him look ten years younger.
Wang Ye grabbed his smooth fine hair and summoned the panel.
[Body: 1.9]
[Divine: 0.9]
[Evolution Level: 15.0]
[Continuous Evolution, increasing one point of Evolution Level daily.]
"Body" as usual increased by 0.2, "Divine" similarly increased by 0.1. Overall, there was no special change.
Wang Ye, naked on his upper body, his muscles compared to yesterday were more robust, whether in muscle texture or form, as if he were a male model on the cover of a fashion magazine.
He clenched his fist, his five fingers and bones shifted the muscles of his forearm, the entire forearm instantly showing rugged lines like rock.
At this moment, Wang Ye felt a surge of violent strength flowing through his body, as if he could smash stone bricks with one punch.
Surely there had been a significant increase in strength, no doubt about it.
As for the Five Senses, the only change Wang Ye distinctly felt was his "smell."
His sense of smell was more acute than yesterday, just standing in the bathroom, he could clearly smell the damp odor, feces smell, and rancid stench coming from the drainage pipe.
He could even vaguely sense the volume, viscosity, and granularity of the filth by smell alone.
Wang Ye walked out of the bathroom.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
The strong leather scent of the sofa gradually outlined a blurry rectangular shape in his mind, approximately 1.5 meters long, 1 meter wide, and 0.5 meters tall.
There was also the television, refrigerator, even the trash can...
Three minutes later.
Wang Ye opened his eyes, excitement filling them. "This is the true evolution of life!"
Today's enhancement in his sense of smell made Wang Ye realize the true value of the word "evolution" for the first time.
The so-called strength, muscle endurance, cardiopulmonary capabilities, are all abilities that can be improved through conventional methods.
While the Five Senses, being relatively stable bodily functions, normal individuals can only maintain at average levels throughout their lives, no matter what method is used to train them, it is impossible to attain significant improvements.
Therefore, a national level athlete's extreme physical capability—be it strength, speed, endurance—may reach 3 to even 4 times average level, but their Five Senses surely cannot exceed 1.5 times the average level.
However, Wang Ye's evolution effortlessly achieved extensive enhancement in his bodily functions. Now his Five Senses had reached twice the level of normal people.
It can be said that a human with a sense of smell more developed than his may not yet be born in today's world.
It's a pity that except for vision, which can be accurately measured via a vision chart, the other four senses cannot be accurately gauged through conventional methods.
After pondering for a moment, Wang Ye shook off the complex thoughts in his mind.
He took out a measuring tape from the drawer and began measuring his height today. He straightened the tape, stepped on it with his forefoot, then placed the other end on his forehead.
Finally came the result—
176.2CM.
Compared to yesterday, he was taller by 0.7CM.
This growth rate startled Wang Ye slightly. At this rate, in less than a month, he'd almost reach two meters tall.
By then, he wouldn't be able to hide his secret anymore.
Next, Wang Ye stepped on the scale, measuring his weight.
Weight 73.1KG, about 2KG more than yesterday, but his abdominal fat hadn't changed, instead, his muscle lines were more apparent than the day before.
Wang Ye speculated that the weight gain might be due to the continuous growth of muscles. This isn't a bad thing; muscle growth enhances his physique.
"My current body fat rate should be around 10%, reducing further would endanger health."
Wang Ye checked online body fat rate charts with his phone.
His current body fat rate had already reached the non-dehydrated pre-stage condition of many bodybuilding athletes, revealing his muscle lines clearly. This implies he essentially has no space to reduce weight, future evolution is most likely going to continue increasing his weight.
After measuring his body data.
Wang Ye took out a yoga mat, prostrated on the ground, supporting himself with his arms, and started doing push-ups.
He did push-ups quickly, each push letting his palms leave the ground momentarily, showcasing the explosive strength had grown to a remarkable extent.
At this moment, wind resistance had become his largest hindrance in performing push-ups, his 150-jin weight seems light in front of powerful muscles.
Finally.
Much later,
Wang Ye stood up, panting.
He rubbed his sore shoulders.
"Push-ups 184, 74 more than yesterday."
He walked into the study again, continued to write down today's measurement data on the draft paper.
[April 22 Evolution Data.]
[Fifth day of evolution.]
[Body: 1.9]
[Divine: 0.9]
[Evolution Level: 15.0]
[Weight: 73.1KG]
[Height: 176.2CM]
[Push-ups: 184]
[Five kilometers: Blank]
[Ten kilometers: Blank]
[Tidbits record: Significant evolution of smell, can identify object position and even volume, noticeably more hair...]
As he wrote, Wang Ye paused slightly with the pencil in his hand.
Then continued to grip the pencil tightly and wrote below on the draft paper—
"Noticeable growth in Thinking Ability."
