As time passed, Li Wen's breathing grew heavy. An unnatural crimson color showed through his skin, and large beads of sweat rolled down, soaking dark spots into the mat.
The Qi and Blood in his body was like a pool of continuously stirred boiling water, constantly evaporating and being consumed. This time, he had lasted for a full half-hour!
"Hah... hah..." As the last shred of strength was drained away along with his depleted Qi and Blood, Li Wen finally ended his stance training. His body staggered, and he nearly fell.
He hunched over, panting heavily. Steam rose from his entire body, condensing into plumes of white mist above his head and shoulders in the cool air, as if he were a freshly opened steamer basket.
An intense feeling of exhaustion washed over him.
After standing in place for several minutes and managing to calm his ragged breathing, he dragged his nearly broken body to the side of the table, grabbed a regular energy drink, and chugged it down in one go.
