Transmigrating into Huo Yuhao, my abilities are refreshed every month.

If you teach them this exercise method, they will definitely benefit greatly.

Chapter 48 Improving Exercise Methods

"Before teaching this method, I'd like to ask you a question: Do you know why exercise can improve physical fitness?"

Huo Yuhao looked around at each classmate and saw a bewildered expression on their faces. They only knew that exercise could improve physical fitness, but they had never thought about why it could do this. In fact, it could be said that very few people in the entire Douluo Continent had thought about this question.

Seeing that no one answered, Huo Yuhao didn't keep them in suspense and gave an explanation: "Exercise can improve physical fitness, mainly in two aspects."

"The first benefit is that exercise can accelerate blood circulation and metabolism, thereby eliminating some impurities from the body. At the same time, our consumption increases during exercise, and the body needs more energy to replenish itself. Therefore, we need to have sufficient nutrition in our body during exercise; otherwise, if the energy replenishment cannot keep up with the consumption, the exercise will be more harmful than beneficial."

"The second aspect is the foundation of my training method."

"Our bodies have this characteristic. When we engage in a certain behavior and the positive stimuli it causes occur more frequently, the probability of a certain part being damaged or exceeding its functional limit becomes more frequent. The brain will then perceive that the demand for that part is greater, so it will mobilize more energy to strengthen that part."

"Exercise is actually about using various behaviors controlled by our conscious mind to frequently stimulate body parts, tricking the brain into allocating more nutrients and energy to restore and strengthen those parts. This is why exercise can improve physical fitness."

Seeing the look of realization on everyone's faces, Huo Yuhao continued:

"According to the second reason, the more frequently we exercise a certain part of our body and the more thoroughly we damage it, the greater the enhancement that part will receive after the body recovers. This is indeed true, but there is a prerequisite: that your body can recover, and even recover within a certain period of time. This is also the key to my training method."

"How do we find the right balance for our bodies to recover? Actually, our bodies will give us hints. When we over-exercise, our bodies will experience fatigue and pain. These feelings are telling us not to continue exercising, as further exercise will cause damage. When we experience these feelings, our bodies haven't actually reached their true limit. We can continue exercising to push our bodies closer to that limit. As long as we don't exceed our true limit, the damage caused by exercise can be recovered in time, and the training effect will be greatly enhanced."

"But it's actually very difficult to grasp the limits of the body. If you're not careful, overtraining can cause irreparable damage to your body. I'm a spirit-type soul master, so I can accurately grasp that limit, but what about everyone else?"

"Actually, there's no need for everyone to worry too much. We are Soul Masters, nurtured by Soul Power, so we have more options. If conditions permit, we can use support-type Soul Masters, food-type Soul Masters, medicine, etc. to help us recover and train. Even if we are slightly over our limits, we can easily recover with their help."

At this point, Huo Yuhao's expression suddenly turned serious, and he solemnly said, "Everyone, remember, this kind of training requires you to ensure that your nutrition is up to par, and you must ensure that your body is fully recovered before you can train again. Otherwise, if your body is depleted and you develop chronic illnesses, even healing-type soul masters will not be able to heal your bodies, and your soul master career will be over."

Everyone listened intently, carefully noting every word Huo Yuhao said. His final, solemn warning was etched in their hearts. They didn't want their Soul Master careers to end like this.

Huo Yuhao continued, "Because the limits of each part of the human body are different, different training methods are needed to train the corresponding parts, rather than just weighted running. This way, we can avoid major injuries and make our training more efficient. Even soul masters with different martial souls can train the aspects they need specifically, such as the explosive power of agility-type soul masters, the arm strength of power-type soul masters, and so on."

"Over the next month, I will gradually teach you how to exercise different parts of your body. Those who are interested can learn."

"Squad leader, just teach us, we'll all learn!" one student shouted.

Huo Yuhao spread his hands and pressed them down, saying, "Today I'll start by teaching you warm-up exercises. I hope everyone will do these exercises before each workout. They can reduce the risk of injury during exercise and get all the muscles in your body ready for exercise."

"Follow me." Huo Yuhao taught the class one movement at a time, patiently correcting their movements. At the same time, he used his mental detection to carefully detect the muscle changes, heart rate, and breathing data of each student, recording all of this in his mental sea.

These will be crucial information for him when he improves his training methods in the future.

It has to be said that Soul Masters learn everything very quickly; everyone mastered the movements completely in no time.

Seeing that everyone had warmed up enough, Huo Yuhao announced loudly, "This set of exercises is what I'll teach you today. I won't teach you anything new today. Now we'll move on to the next exercise. Today's exercise is—weighted running."

"Sigh!" someone sighed in disappointment. He thought he would learn some other moves today, but it turned out he still had to run with weights.

Huo Yuhao said with a smile, "I know some people are disappointed with running and want to learn other forms of exercise. But running is actually a very basic and practical exercise method."

"Most importantly, we can run anytime, anywhere by ourselves, while many other exercise methods require assistance from others or equipment."

"Today, I hope everyone can keep running until the end of get out of class. You can run slowly, but you must keep running until the end of get out of class. Don't worry about over-exercising and causing any physical injury this time, because an assistant professor will come to treat us later."

One by one, the students of Class One of the freshmen put on their iron suits and began jogging along Shrek Square. Huo Yuhao also put on his iron suit and started running, while simultaneously recording the data changes of everyone.

Soon, more than half an hour had passed, and everyone was covered in sweat, including Huo Yuhao. Sweat dripped onto the track, slowing everyone's pace.

According to Huo Yuhao's detection, some people are already close to their limits.

Sure enough, not long after, when Huo Yuhao passed by a female student who was physically weak, her legs went weak and she was about to fall down, but Huo Yuhao caught her.

Huo Yuhao handed her a bottle of water and encouraged her gently, "Run slowly, just keep going. Drink some water first, and then I'll help you jog for a while."

"Class monitor." The female student took the water, her eyes, wet with sweat, stinging slightly as she murmured. After taking a sip, she grabbed Huo Yuhao's arm and started jogging.

Huo Yuhao also slowed down, gently leading her in laps, while his mental detection recorded the data of the students who were approaching or had already reached their limits. This data was more valuable and could not be missed.

Some students who couldn't keep going saw Huo Yuhao and the female student, but they didn't stop. Instead, they continued running at a pace comparable to a slow walk.

Some students who had extra energy also followed Huo Yuhao's example and helped those who couldn't keep going to continue running.

Chapter 49 Wang Dong Has Grown Up

After running with Huo Yuhao for a while, the female student felt she had recovered somewhat, so she let go of Huo Yuhao and continued running on her own. "Class monitor, I can't hold you back. I've recovered a bit now, so you can run at your own pace."

Huo Yuhao did not refuse, nodded and let go of her. Seeing that she did not fall, he felt relieved and quickened his pace.

Sometimes running is like this: when you reach your limit and keep going, breaking through that limit will actually make running easier and easier.

As get out of class was about to end, Huo Yuhao saw a man dressed in white standing at the edge of the square, smiling at the students of Class 1 of the new students.

Finally, the bell rang, and the students who had been persevering collapsed to the ground like dominoes, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Huo Yuhao was not originally on the ground, but was pulled down by Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao who were passing by, who grabbed his iron armor.

Wang Dong rested his head on Huo Yuhao's lap, and Xiao Xiao followed suit, resting her head on the other side.

Wang Dong gently rubbed against Huo Yuhao's thigh, adjusted to a comfortable position, and said lazily, "I really don't know why you care about those classmates. Can't we just do our own thing?"

Huo Yuhao looked up at the sky, pondered for a while, and then slowly said, "Maybe it's because I want to do something. If life is just about becoming stronger, it's ultimately too monotonous."

"Wouldn't it be better to enjoy yourself more while you're getting stronger?" Wang Dong's tone was tinged with complaint. He suddenly sat up, his light blue eyes filled with seriousness as he looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "But whatever you do, I'll support you!"

Huo Yuhao gazed at Wang Dong, whose blue eyes shone brightly, and beads of sweat on her hair trickled down her slender neck, disappearing into her collarbone.

Huo Yuhao flashed a bright smile, concealing his momentary lapse in concentration.

Girl, if you keep flirting like this, I might actually make a move!

The man in white saw all the freshmen lying on the ground and floated over. Seven spirit rings rose from beneath his feet, and as he raised his hands, a small green tree grew from his palms.

The man vanished in a flash, while the sapling grew wildly, instantly transforming into a towering tree. Emerald green leaves detached from the tree and fluttered down, gently landing on each student.

Everyone felt their fatigue rapidly fading away. Sore muscles and minor wounds were healing at an astonishing pace, and even their physical strength was gradually returning.

Huo Yuhao was the first to recover, and as the class monitor, he stood up to thank the man. The man didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded before drifting away.

Only then did the trainees regain their strength. They looked at each other, their faces covered in sweat and dirt from lying on the ground, and burst into laughter.

Some of the weaker female students, upon hearing the laughter of their classmates who had fallen to the ground with them, blushed and tidied themselves up. However, after seeing their companions' appearance, they couldn't help but laugh along.

Perhaps this is the joy that comes from working together.

Huo Yuhao, along with the recovered Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, were the first to leave. One by one, their classmates smiled and called out, "Goodbye, class monitor!"

He smiled and waved goodbye.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong returned to their dormitory, and Huo Yuhao couldn't wait to change out of his clothes, which were soaked with sweat.

Wang Dong was still a little shy when he saw that Huo Yuhao was shirtless, so Huo Yuhao couldn't help but tease him:

"I'm going to take a shower first. Do you want to come with me?"

Wang Dong's cheeks flushed red, her eyebrows furrowed, and she shouted angrily, "Get out!"

After Huo Yuhao came out of the bathroom, Wang Dong pretended to be nonchalant and went to take a shower.

"Are you sure you don't want me to go out first?" Huo Yuhao asked.

Wang Dong said in a muffled voice, "No need, we'll go find Sister Nannan and the others together after I'm done washing up."

"My child has finally grown up and knows how to be considerate."

Seeing that Wang Dong didn't try to avoid him while taking a shower this time, Huo Yuhao felt a sense of nurturing.

"Get out!" Wang Dong said succinctly.

In the bathroom, with a sudden shift, Wang Dong transformed from a boy into a slender and graceful young woman. Accompanied by the sound of rushing water, the trickling water slid down her smooth, jade-like back, down to her slender waist, where it was forced to split due to the curve of her hips, dripping down her long, straight, snow-white legs.

The sound of water stopped, and Wang Dong took a towel from the side and wiped her body, from her slender, snow-white neck to her delicate, jade-like collarbone, and then to her fair and graceful figure, until she bent down.

The girl let her exquisite figure be displayed as she bent over, her delicate brows furrowed as if she were deep in thought.

After wiping for a long time, Wang Dong straightened up and quietly put on her clothes. Then, with another transformation, the girl's short hair became beautiful long hair.

With a gentle knock on the door, Wang Dong appeared before Huo Yuhao like a lotus emerging from the water.

"How did you suddenly revert to a girl's appearance?" Huo Yuhao's gaze sharpened upon seeing Wang Dong's current state, and he asked with some surprise. The girl's hair was slightly damp, cascading down her back, and her fair face was flushed, giving her a languid and disheveled air, a quality she possessed just after bathing. While her demeanor was pure and innocent, this languid and disheveled quality added a touch of alluring charm, making one want to explore just how radiant she would be when this disheveled appearance was fully revealed.

The girl was wearing the loose-fitting short-sleeved shirt she wore as a boy, but it still couldn't hide her budding beauty.

Huo Yuhao lowered his gaze and thought to himself, "As expected of Tang San's daughter, who is born evil, she actually managed to get me under her thumb without me even realizing it!"

Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao, you must be resolute! Be determined to swallow the sugar coating and fire back at the cannonball!

"I feel more comfortable looking like this after taking a shower."

The girl casually tossed her disheveled hair, but her glistening, rosy earlobes betrayed her turbulent emotions.

The two fell silent for a moment, until Huo Yuhao finally broke the silence.

"When you dressed as a man, did you change your physique or only your appearance without changing your physique?"

"Of course, his physique has changed too, shouldn't you know that?" Wang Dong found Huo Yuhao's behavior somewhat inexplicable.

"So, you don't need those undergarments you wear when you're dressed as a man anymore?" Huo Yuhao tried to subtly remind Wang Dong.

"Why would I wear those clothes when I'm dressed as a man? If someone finds out, wouldn't I—become a pervert?" Wang Dong said softly. The girl couldn't help but feel a little shy when the topic of underwear came up.
