"Thank you, Dr. Huashan!" Su Changkong expressed his gratitude. Dr. Huashan was indeed a good person, teaching the Five Animal Frolics for free and even giving him such a precious prescription without charge.

"It's nothing, just practice the Five Animal Frolics when you have time, and persist in anything if you hope to harvest results," Dr. Huashan said, shaking his head.

Su Changkong unexpectedly received a prescription from Dr. Huashan.

The following morning, Dr. Huashan also left Black Iron Manor in a low-key manner, for him, the manor was merely a stop on his lengthy journey.

"These Five Animal Frolics... indeed seem somewhat useful. After practicing for a few days, I've noticed a slight improvement in my spirits."

Su Changkong didn't know if it was psychological, but he felt a bit better physically after practicing the Five Animal Frolics these past few days.

Of course, in actuality, persisting in activities like jogging and calisthenics daily can improve one's physical constitution—the key is to persist!

Life for Su Changkong became peaceful again, busying himself with chores in Black Iron Manor as usual, only now he would wake up early every morning to practice the Five Animal Frolics.

Martial Arts Mastery: Five Animal Frolics (Beginner 51%).

Su Changkong could persist, not just because he wanted to live longer, but also because he could see his proficiency in the Five Animal Frolics increasing!

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

In the early hours before dawn, with the sun yet to rise and the sky beginning to light up, Su Changkong, dressed in plain clothes and handsome in appearance, was energetically moving his body, practicing the Five Animal Frolics.

Sometimes he was like a clumsy bear clapping his hands, at other times like a spirit deer leaping; he was breathing slightly heavily, yet felt an exhilarating satisfaction.

Huff Huff Huff!

After completing a set of the Five Animal Frolics, Su Changkong felt a warm current rising within his body, a slight heat which invigorated him, bringing an indescribable ease.

"My Five Animal Frolics must have made a breakthrough!" With hopeful anticipation, Su Changkong opened his status panel. In three months, his Five Animal Frolics had finally advanced from beginner's level to a new realm!

Name: Su Changkong (12 years old)

Lifespan: 42 years

Potential Points: 3

Martial Arts Mastery: Five Animal Frolics (Level 1 Beginner's Path 1%).

"This... My lifespan has increased by two years?"

When Su Changkong saw the information on the status panel, he shook all over, unable to hide the joy on his face!

After three months of intense practice, Su Changkong's Five Animal Frolics had progressed from beginner's level to the Beginner's Path level, and his lifespan had increased from 40 to 42 years—an addition of a full two years!

As Su Changkong had guessed, the length of one's life was not set in stone. Suffering injuries and weakening of the body could reduce one's lifespan; conversely, regular exercise could lead to a certain increase in longevity.

"My strength, speed, and body coordination have improved considerably."

Su Changkong moved his body, feeling that compared to three months ago, although he hadn't undergone a rebirth, there was indeed a significant change. His endurance and spirit had improved!

"My potential has increased from 1 point to 3 points? Could it be because my lifespan has increased?" Besides, Su Changkong keenly noticed that within the status panel, his potential had increased from 1 to 3!

Su Changkong speculated that this must be related to the increase in his lifespan, potential grew with lifespan!

"Potential... could it possibly represent my aptitude, my comprehension?" Su Changkong pondered, sensing a breakthrough, but no matter what, he'd know once he tried!

Su Changkong continued to practice the Five Animal Frolics.

Foraging Tiger, Moon-gazing Monkey, Spinning Flying Crane...

One after another, the sequences of the Five Animal Frolics flowed smoothly and adeptly from Su Changkong's form.

As he entered the state, Su Changkong began to feel a slight heat in his body and sweat forming on his forehead, indicating that the exercise was highly effective!

"This... the efficiency of my training in the Five Animal Frolics has clearly increased a lot! Nearly three times what it was before!"

Su Changkong's face revealed an uncontainable ecstasy.

Potential represented Su Changkong's cultivation potential!

The higher the potential, the more terrifying Su Changkong's training speed would be! And the increase in potential was linked to his lifespan!
