Immortality Martial Arts: I Started with the Five Animals Health Fist Chapter 3 - 1 Health-preserving Fist! Five Animal Frolics! _3

"My thanks to you, Dr. Huashan!" Su Changkong said, bowing in appreciation. He truly felt that Dr. Huashan was a benevolent soul; not only had the man taught him the Five Animal Frolics without asking for a cent, but he had also gifted him such a valuable medical prescription for free.

"Think nothing of it. Just ensure you practice the Five Animal Frolics whenever you find the time. In any endeavor, persistence is the only way to reap a harvest," Dr. Huashan replied, dismissing the thanks with a gentle shake of his head.

Thus, Su Changkong unexpectedly found himself in possession of a prescription from the wandering physician.

By the next morning, Dr. Huashan had quietly departed from Black Iron Manor. To a man like him, the manor was merely a fleeting stop on a much longer journey.

"These Five Animal Frolics... they really do seem to have some utility. My spirits have felt noticeably uplifted after just a few days of training."

Su Changkong wasn't certain if the effect was purely psychological, but he felt a genuine physical improvement after his recent sessions with the Five Animal Frolics.

In truth, consistently engaging in daily exercises like jogging or calisthenics is bound to strengthen one's constitution—the difficulty lies entirely in the discipline to continue!

Peace returned to Su Changkong's daily life. He remained occupied with his usual chores at Black Iron Manor, though he now made it a habit to rise at dawn to perform the Five Animal Frolics.

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

The reason Su Changkong could maintain such discipline wasn't just his desire for longevity, but the fact that he could actually witness his proficiency in the Five Animal Frolics rising!

Three months vanished in the blink of an eye.

In the quiet hours before the sun crested the horizon, as the sky just began to pale, Su Changkong stood dressed in simple clothes. His handsome features were set in concentration as he vigorously exercised his body through the Five Animal Frolics. One moment he resembled a heavy bear clapping its paws, and the next, he was like a graceful spirit deer leaping through the brush. Though his breathing was slightly heavy, he felt a surge of exhilarating joy.

Huff! Huff! Huff!

As he finished a complete set of the Five Animal Frolics, a warm sensation flickered within his body. This subtle heat refreshed his senses, bringing with it a sense of comfort that was hard to describe.

"I must have reached a breakthrough in my Five Animal Frolics!" Filled with eager hope, Su Changkong summoned his status panel. After three months of toil, his mastery had finally ascended from the beginner level to a brand-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 total lifespan actually increased by two years?"

Looking at the data on the status panel, Su Changkong’s entire body trembled. He couldn't suppress the radiant joy spreading across his face!

Through three months of diligent Cultivation, his Five Animal Frolics had advanced to the Beginner's Path stage. Consequently, his lifespan had jumped from 40 years to 42—a gain of two whole years!

It was exactly as Su Changkong had suspected: the duration of a person's life was not a fixed number. While injuries and physical decline could shorten one's days, consistent exercise could actually extend them.

"My power, agility, and physical coordination have all seen significant growth."

Su Changkong tested his movements. While he hadn't experienced a total physical rebirth, the transformation compared to three months ago was undeniable. His stamina and mental energy had reached new heights!

"And my potential rose from 1 point to 3? Is this because my lifespan lengthened?" Su Changkong also noticed a sharp change in his status panel; his potential points had tripled.

He theorized that this was directly linked to his longevity—as his lifespan grew, so did his potential!

"Does potential represent my natural talent or my ability to comprehend?" Su Changkong mused. He felt he was on the verge of a discovery, and there was only one way to confirm it.

Su Changkong immediately resumed his practice of the Five Animal Frolics.

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

One movement flowed into the next as Su Changkong executed the sequences with newfound fluidity and skill.

As he sank into the rhythm, heat began to radiate from his core and sweat beaded on his forehead. The exercise was proving to be incredibly effective!

"This is incredible... my training efficiency has spiked! It's nearly three times faster than before!"

An expression of pure ecstasy washed over Su Changkong’s face.

Potential was the measure of his Cultivation talent!

The higher his potential, the more frightening his training speed would become. And the key to unlocking that potential was hidden within the extension of his very life!
