Chapter 45 (2/2)

“What does it mean?” asked Zhao Chen, who had never seen such a condition. However, Shen Zhe had already thrown up. He shivered so hard that it seemed as if he would fall from the horse at any time.

Zhao Chen pulled the reins of both horses out of concern.

Shen Zhe fell and vomited for a long time before he finally felt less sick.

It never occurred to him that horse sickness was even more uncomfortable than car sickness.

“How do you feel?”

Zhao Chen approached him worriedly.

“I’m fine… But I don’t think I can ride a horse…” Shen Zhe shook his head.

Riding a horse was faster, but he didn’t know that his body was unsuited for horse riding.

“It will take at least three hours to reach the mountain without the horses…” said Zhao Chen, “I’m afraid that it’ll be dark by then.”

Although their bodies were sturdy, they weren’t Martial Artists after all, and nor were they good at long-distance running.

Ms. Bai could run back in an hour, but they couldn’t.

Shen Zhe nodded.

He had solved a question in the mall and cooked a battle technique that day; the sun had already set. It would be dark after they reached the mountain if they abandoned the horses, and the beasts in the area could be dangerous at night.

“You’ll ride your horse. I’ll run after you…” Shen Zhe said, gritting his teeth.

He didn’t dare to ride the horse anymore. It would be too humiliating if he died of horse sickness.

Zhao Chen did not say anything and galloped forward, knowing that his friend was stronger than him.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Zhe stomped and raced forward as quickly as lightning.

Before the herb liquid was digested, Zhao Chen had already been able to run at ten meters per second for a whole night.

Shen Zhe was currently in the eighth stage of body polishing; he was almost as fast as the horse that was running at full speed.

It felt strange at first, but Shen Zhe immediately felt that his body and the environment were perfectly melded after his breath was adapted to running.

Muscles, bones, internal organs, blood… Everything worked together perfectly without wasting any strength.

“This is the real Stage of Unity…”

Shen Zhe was fascinated.

He had reached that level with the power of the stars, the herb liquid and the notebook, but he had never integrated his strength perfectly. He understood unity better than before while he was running at full speed.

“Let’s see if I can integrate the power of the stars into it…”

Seeing that he still couldn’t catch up with the horse, Shen Zhe took a deep breath and his two stars glittered, providing immense power.

Frankly speaking, the Seven Star Stage was just a foundation.

Only after the Seven Stars were illuminated would the body have enough strength for one to break obstacles and become a real cultivator.

Then, those with massive mental power would become Mages, those who controlled the power of the stars well would become Martial Artists, and those talented at herbs would turn into Druggists…

Shen Zhe had only illuminated two stars. However, they were much brighter than the ones lit by those at the top class. Their light surged in his body like a galaxy.

“My fatigue is gone?”

Shen Zhe immediately felt that his exhausted body had been revitalized.

It seemed that the running didn’t cost him any effort.

No wonder everybody wanted to cultivate. It was indeed extraordinary.

An idea popped up in his head, “There are movement methods in the Falling Leaves Palm, too. Let’s see if they can make me go faster.”

Falling Leaves Palm was a melee battle technique, but it highlighted agility and was very unpredictable.

If he adopted the movement methods in his running, the result might be surprising.

Thinking about that, Shen Zhe controlled the muscles and joints all over his body and activated the battle technique.

Hu!

He surpassed the galloping horse after one step.

Shen Zhe was greatly shocked.

Using the Falling Leaves Palm for running was just a spur-of-the-moment attempt. He didn’t expect that it would work out so effectively.

It was a pity that he didn’t cook it long enough in his experiment. If he had cooked it longer, would he have been more skilled at it?

“I’ll try it next time…”

Shen Zhe was quite excited.

Zhao Chen didn’t expect that his friend could run even faster than him riding a horse. He almost fell from the horse’s back in shock. He had a lot of mixed feelings.

“He’s too fast… Should I try running, too?”
