Finally, Chu Feng was full, feeling incredibly satisfied, his body warm and cozy. He leaned back in his chair, not wanting to move at all.
He now felt comfortable both physically and mentally. The hunger he had felt not long ago was so terrifying, and after escaping that state, he actually felt a sense of happiness.
The table was covered with empty plates, all clean, having been completely devoured. Chu Feng was a bit dazed, wondering how much he had eaten. Had he really become a bottomless pit?
Not far away, the yellow ox had a round belly and was snoring loudly.
A wave of drowsiness came over Chu Feng, and he couldn't hold out any longer. He returned to his room and fell asleep immediately. This sleep was particularly sweet, and he didn't wake up until the sun was high the next day.
His stomach growled again, waking him up from hunger. Chu Feng was startled. Was he going to spend his days eating and sleeping? That would make him no different from a pig!
The yellow ox had already woken up. This guy had been wandering around, devouring all the fruits in the refrigerator. Still unsatisfied, he came to Chu Feng, demanding more.
"Relax, I'll cook some beef for you in a bit!" Chu Feng said irritably. He took out a large piece of meat from the freezer and went into the kitchen.
The yellow ox's eyes widened, and then he got anxious. His two golden horns glowed, and he puffed white smoke from his nostrils, looking ready to fight.
"Go away, don't mess around, this is pork!" Chu Feng said guiltily.
In the end, the yellow ox ate a lot of pork, finding it quite tasty, and grunted contentedly.
As for Chu Feng, he decisively cooked a pot of beef. He solemnly told the yellow ox that it was mutton, which was quite gamey and unsuitable for him to eat!
The yellow ox was suspicious, occasionally glancing at the pot. He opened his mouth a few times, unsure if he wanted to taste it or say something, but in the end, he didn't touch the pot.
"This damn ox, his nose is too sensitive. It's going to be a hassle for me to eat beef in the future," Chu Feng thought guiltily.
At the same time, he grumbled to himself, "Just a cow, and it likes meat so much!"
What slightly reassured him was that his appetite had decreased significantly, not as terrifying as it was yesterday.
In the courtyard, he grabbed a heavy stone table with one hand and lifted it effortlessly over his head, finding it too easy.
Chu Feng wanted to see how strong he was. He set his sights on a landscape stone in the courtyard. This stone was not light; it had taken several people a lot of effort to move it in, weighing about 600 to 700 pounds.
It was not easy to handle, but Chu Feng still managed to grab it firmly and lifted it with great force. The large brown stone immediately rose off the ground.
Finally, he slammed it back down, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
Chu Feng was lost in thought. His arm strength was astonishing; he could lift such a heavy stone, which was truly shocking.
If someone saw this, they would probably be terrified.
"More than ten times the strength of a normal person," he murmured.
Next, Chu Feng took out a stopwatch and went outside the courtyard to test his speed. When he shot out with a whoosh, he immediately felt the wind rushing past, and the trees on both sides quickly receded.
"A hundred meters in three seconds?!" Chu Feng was dumbfounded.
His speed, though not ten times that of a normal person, was still terrifying, far exceeding the recorded human speed limit, making him feel unreal.
He was in a daze for a long time.
Next, he conducted various tests, including his vision, resistance to impact, nerve reactions, and hearing. Of course, these were rough tests, not very precise.
All these values had increased significantly, from several times to ten times.
Chu Feng was both surprised and delighted. His muscles were slightly crystalline, as if he had undergone a transformation. Moreover, there was a faint, pleasant fragrance emanating from his body.
This was somewhat like the old Taoists and high monks described in historical records, whose bodies were transparent and fragrant, and did not decay after they passed away, a mystery that remained unsolved.
For the next two days, Chu Feng stayed indoors, quietly experiencing the changes in his body. In the morning and evening, he practiced a special breathing technique.
He found that his appetite had returned to normal, and the changes in his body had stabilized.
During these two days, the yellow ox was very lazy, almost sleeping all day. However, as time passed, it gradually returned to normal and started to fiddle with Chu Feng's communicator again.
When Chu Feng saw this, his eyebrows furrowed. Thinking back to the last incident, he was still depressed. It was too embarrassing, and no one would believe his explanation.
"Ox King, I warn you, don't touch my communicator, or I'll be angry!"
"Moo!" The yellow ox was不服气 (unconvinced).
"I have something to do and need to go out. I don't have time to mess around with you," Chu Feng said. He wanted to go see Dr. Wang again for a check-up.
Suddenly, his expression changed, and he looked at the yellow ox with a smile. "Actually, if you want to play with this thing, it's easy. I can buy you one."
When the yellow ox heard this, he was quite happy, but then he became wary, taking a few steps back and staring at Chu Feng with wide eyes.
"Dead ox, what's that look for? What do you mean? Don't judge my generosity with your wolf heart and dog lungs, no, your ox heart and ox lungs!" Chu Feng looked at him.
"Moo!" The yellow ox was disdainful.
"Here's the deal. Besides that special breathing technique, do you have any other strange methods? Teach me some, and I'll buy you a brand new communicator," Chu Feng said with a fake smile.
The yellow ox grinned, mocking him, as if to say, "You've shown your true colors, haven't you?"
Chu Feng remained calm, not blushing at all. "A communicator is a treasure. With it, you can know all the major events happening in the world. Think about it."
With that, he left the room.
Over the past two days, the air in Qingyang Town seemed particularly fresh. Taking a deep breath, one felt refreshed and invigorated. Chu Feng was lost in thought, wondering if this was due to the changes in the world.
In the distance, some of the mountains were emitting various colored mists, spreading through the air, making the area even fresher.
There were many people at Dr. Wang's clinic, and Chu Feng had to wait a long time before it was his turn.
"Are so many people sick?" Chu Feng asked.
Dr. Wang saw him and immediately smiled, inviting him to the inner courtyard. Clearly, he didn't want others to know about Chu Feng's special condition, showing great consideration.
"You're mistaken. These people indeed had some minor illnesses before, but in the past two days, their chronic conditions have gradually improved, and their health has gotten better."
Chu Feng was surprised and showed a puzzled expression.
"Is this related to the changes in the world?" he guessed.
"Probably. Look at those distant mountains, emitting mists that seem to contain some special substances, which are very beneficial to the human body," Dr. Wang nodded, also feeling amazed. In the past few days, he had seen many people with old ailments gradually improve.
Most of the people who came today felt better and came to get checked to confirm.
"Originally, the world was in turmoil, and people were panicked, but it seems not as bad as we imagined," Dr. Wang sighed.
In the past few days, ordinary people had felt a significant increase in energy, which was a pleasant surprise.
Chu Feng looked into the distance, thinking about the many fierce beasts in those ancient mountains. If they were to break out, it would certainly not be a peaceful scene.
For example, the toad Zhou Quan saw was as big as a stone millstone, capable of chasing and killing various fierce beasts, and even knocking down elephants to eat.
Dr. Wang examined Chu Feng and conducted several physical tests, ultimately confirming with great shock that his physical condition had improved even further.
This time, Chu Feng ran 100 meters in just 2.5 seconds, which terrified the old man.
His strength had reached twelve times that of a normal person, and his hearing, nerve reactions, and vision were even more astonishing than before.
"This... It's really unbelievable. Can it continue to improve?" Dr. Wang muttered, slightly dazed.
"Probably not. In the past two days, I've felt my body gradually stabilize, and my appetite has returned to normal. That's why I came for another check-up," Chu Feng explained honestly.
"Even so, it's like a myth!" Dr. Wang was still unable to calm down. Suddenly, he sniffed the air and asked, "I've been smelling a faint fragrance. Is it coming from you?"
He was uncertain, showing a surprised expression.
Dr. Wang confirmed that it was naturally emitted from Chu Feng's body, and his expression froze, almost petrified. He found it hard to believe and looked shocked.
"This... How is this possible?!" He stared at Chu Feng, speechless for a long time.
"Is there a problem with this?" Chu Feng asked.
"How can there not be a problem? In ancient times, this would be a major event. Some old Taoists and high monks, when they lived past a hundred years, might emit such a fragrance. Combined with such strength and speed, in ancient times, there was a saying: 'fleshly body becoming a saint.'"
"Such a saying exists?" Chu Feng was stunned.
"Yes, 'fleshly body becoming a saint!'" Dr. Wang confirmed firmly.
Chu Feng was in a daze, finding this quite astonishing.
"Some ancient records, though they seem mysterious, cannot be entirely dismissed. Some are credible," Dr. Wang said.
He was proficient in Western medicine but had a solid background in traditional Chinese medicine. He had thoroughly studied ancient medical texts and even delved into some alchemical formulas, including some ancient Taoist and Buddhist texts, so he knew a lot.
"The limits of the human body can be broken, and you are a living example," Dr. Wang sighed. "Some people in ancient times could definitely do it. For example, the story of Shakyamuni throwing an elephant, though it sounds mysterious, if a person's physical strength is strong enough, it might be possible."
According to his explanation, the Buddha was also a human, but due to his extraordinary physical strength, he could throw an elephant.
"Shakyamuni throwing an elephant, a Taoist moving a mountain, these are all manifestations of 'fleshly body becoming a saint.' Even after their bodies died, they did not decay and emitted a fragrance."
Dr. Wang became more and more excited as he spoke. It was clear that he was very interested in these ancient texts, especially seeing Chu Feng as a living example, which made him even more agitated.
"You can't throw an elephant yet, but you've shown me that the limits of the human body are possible," Dr. Wang almost wanted to dissect Chu Feng to study him in detail.
Chu Feng quickly got up, bid farewell to him, and left as if fleeing.
On the way, Chu Feng thought a lot.
As he approached his home, he heard the wind howling and thunder rumbling in the courtyard, making a lot of noise.
What was happening? He was a bit worried. Had the Ox King caused trouble again?
Chu Feng stepped into the courtyard and was stunned. He saw the yellow ox standing on its hind legs, its front hooves moving. It... was practicing boxing!
The wind was howling, and thunder was rumbling, all coming from its body. Was this a boxing technique?
A cow, practicing boxing!
