Chapter 743: Chapter 467: Adapting to Physical Power_2

They are not Wang Ye, so without a Skill System, pure physical training hardly shows significant effects on ordinary people, let alone them, whose physical qualities have evolved several times beyond the peak of humanity.

The true purpose of the Superman Triathlon is to help them adapt to their power as much as possible within these ten days, train their willpower, and balance their Spiritual Power with their physique to gain subtle Telekinesis, avoiding various troubles encountered when reaching outer space.

After Wang Ye left,

a Blazing Red Lotus suddenly erupted on the wilderness.

Wu Chen and the other two knew it was Wang Ye’s handiwork. During this half month of training here, they frequently saw this Blazing Red Lotus, so they weren’t too surprised by it.

What they were most concerned about now was how much Wu Chen’s physical qualities had improved.

Because they would be the next ones to undergo enhancement.

Wu Chen swallowed hard, trying to clench his fists. The ocean-like surging power within him filled him with awe, creating the illusion that a little force would unleash earth-shattering power.

He first attempted a handstand push-up. With his previous strength, he could do at most twenty without muscle soreness or even strain.

He wondered how many he could now do after the enhancement of his physical abilities...

Wu Chen cautiously controlled his body to squat down, then placed his arms on the ground, ready to push off with his legs. As he skillfully lifted into a handstand, the force from his legs suddenly shattered the floor tiles, and his body spun crazily in the air like a bullet, slamming into the wall and creating a huge dent in the metal wall.

He landed hard, raising a cloud of dust. He barely propped himself up, coughing through the dust.

"Has my power increased this much...?" Wu Chen’s eyes twinkled with surprise.

Even more shocking was the impact he had just endured didn’t bring intense pain; only a warm ache on the skin where he was hit, as if he had carelessly bumped and got a slight external injury.

That impact just now was strong enough to deform a high-strength alloy wall! With his previous physical qualities, at the very least, it would have resulted in multiple broken bones. Now, he just suffered a minor external injury.

The two spectators were dumbfounded. They did not know Wu Chen well but understood his earlier physical qualities. Although he usually ranked first in physical tests and was much stronger than them, he was still human, with not a significant difference in overall comparison. In close-quarters combat, it was roughly an equal match.

Even scratching hard with a small knife would cause a wound, spilling blood.

But now, after merely fifteen minutes of transformation, Wu Chen had completely left the human realm,

forget a small knife, they suspected even a long-handled axe might not inflict any serious damage.

More importantly, from Wu Chen’s previous actions, it seemed he couldn’t control his power at all.

To the extent that lightly kicking with his legs sent him flying straight away.

Many accustomed ways of exerting force now needed to be entirely relearned.

Including many technical things.

If they waited until they reached space to adapt, it would likely cause numerous problems.

No wonder Wang Ye wanted him to acclimate his body.

No wonder they were put through a ten-day Superman Triathlon!

It was all to adjust to the drastic increase in power!

Wu Chen stood up, gritted his teeth, returned to his original spot, and tried the handstand push-ups again.

Handstand push-ups, by nature, are a very technical movement.

Many ordinary people and fitness enthusiasts fail at handstand push-ups mainly because they don’t know how to exert force. How much strength the legs should use to push against the ground for the body to maintain balance correctly, and how the wrists and core muscles should exert force to maintain stability—all these need countless falls to master the skill of exertion accurately.

Wu Chen had mastered the exertion technique for handstand push-ups very proficiently, with every exertion step being done with 100% precision without mistakes. But now, with his strength having increased three to five times, it is as if he needs to relearn, not just for handstand push-ups, but many other technical movements require relearning. Thus, the ten-day timeline seemed increasingly pressing...

Observing all this, the other two felt their hearts tighten too. They were to evolve later than Wu Chen, meaning their time to acclimate would be even more pressing.

Compared to them, Wang Ye had extensive experience in adapting to power. For nearly a year, his physical condition was entirely different each morning compared to the previous day. Although his adaptation also relied on his super brain’s calculating abilities, even without it, the experience he had acquired allowed him to quickly acclimate his physique.

The key to adaptation lies in full-body exercises, like Running and Swimming, which involve all muscle groups. Such exercises engage 90% of the body’s muscles at once, and compared to single-muscle group exercises, they help people adapt quicker to the sudden increase in endurance.

So, after a power surge, often a short sprint is all it takes to adapt approximately to the new endurance levels.

But for technical tasks, like carpentry or other intricate crafts, such adaptation is insufficient.

Because full-body exercise adapts you only generally to the endurance increase.

The detailed muscle memory required for fine work needs extensive repetitive training to regain. But for Wang Ye, even after evolution, he could perform tasks needing muscle memory because his brain could precisely compute the appropriate force to exert based on his current strength level.

As a result, evolved to the later stages—the past few months, evolution hardly affects Wang Ye anymore, as it has become almost second nature to him. By taking mere steps and sensing muscle strength, he can align his primarily adapted physical qualities within 0.1 seconds.

Thus, the focus of Superman Triathlon workouts is extensive physical exercises that allow them to roughly acclimate to their physique, while training Spiritual Power enables them to fully harmonize with their bodies and begin to control Telekinesis.

The so-called Telekinesis is essentially Spiritual Power condensed to the extreme. An ordinary person’s Spiritual Power impacts at most microorganisms, but if increased dozens of times over, it could rival finger strength, potentially pushing someone forward in the Cosmos directly.

Wu Chen’s current physical qualities, raised by Wang Ye to three to five times higher, still lacked corresponding Spiritual Power adjustments.

So adaptation was full of challenges.

Yet correspondingly,

Spiritual Power lagging behind physical qualities would quicken its enhancement.

This is what is known as the aftereffect phenomenon,

which can very significantly enhance ability.

Athletes resuming training after three years progress rapidly because their physical qualities fall behind their Spiritual Power, demonstrating the aftereffect. Conversely, Spiritual Power lagging behind physical qualities also triggers aftereffect phenomena.

For example, after Wu Chen attempted several dozen handstand push-ups, he vaguely felt his mind becoming clearer than ever before.

This clarity is often referred to as—enlightenment.
