The hospital is too busy, so I'm going to join the army and become a top soldier!

At noon, the sun was blazing.

The red running track on the playground gleamed in the sun.

At first glance, the heat seemed to be rising from the ground.

What are typical college students doing at this time?

Dry rice!

Especially after just four anatomy classes.

After smelling formaldehyde all morning, my mind was filled with images of muscles, bones, blood vessels, and nerves.

A normal person would rush to the cafeteria at this moment and devour two bowls of rice!

I'll go back to my dorm for a nap and get ready for the afternoon's studies.

This is what a normal life should be like for a medical student!

But Shen Yan was different; he stood by the track.

Move your ankles, stretch your legs, and adjust your breathing.

He looked like he was really ready to run 5,000 meters.

Zhao Peng stood to the side, completely numb.

"No, buddy."

"You're actually running away?"

Shen Yan glanced at him.

"Didn't I already say that?"

"Run five kilometers to warm up."

Zhao Peng's lips twitched violently.

"Is 5,000 meters considered a warm-up?"

"Do you have some misunderstanding about the term 'warm-up'?"

"My warm-up is limited to walking to the cafeteria window at most."

"You warmed up and then ran 5,000 meters?"

Shen Yan ignored him.

The system just assigned me the level of a Level 3 athlete in the 5,000-meter race.

He has to try.

You won't know what to expect until you try.

If I actually join the army, I'll have to do all of them: 5-kilometer runs, armed cross-country races, and obstacle courses.

It's always good to know your physical condition in advance; there's no harm in doing so.

Besides, this isn't just a simple run.

This also verifies the system's capabilities.

Feedback on learning medical knowledge has arrived.

But he hasn't tried the feedback from exercising his body yet!

Shen Yan stepped onto the track and took a deep breath.

The heat deep in my calves hadn't completely dissipated.

The gastrocnemius, soleus, tibialis anterior, and the stabilizing muscles around the knee joint.

They all seem to be in a newly activated state!

He could clearly feel that his body was lighter than before.

Shen Yan's eyes lit up slightly.

Then, start!

He didn't charge in headfirst.

Five thousand meters is not one hundred meters.

It's not about explosive power, it's about rhythm, stride, and breathing.

He didn't understand these things before.

Now, however, all of himself appeared in his mind!

The ball of the foot lands.

Apply force, using your lower leg to propel the vehicle.

Swing your arms in coordination with your breathing.

The whole movement was incredibly smooth!

Zhao Peng stood by the track, initially watching the spectacle with his arms crossed.

"Pack."

"Let's see how long you can keep up this act!"

"Five thousand meters is not one thousand meters."

No matter how impressive your run is at the beginning, you'll be exhausted by the end.

After he finished speaking, he glanced at his phone.

They planned to mock Shen Yan mercilessly when he could no longer run.

a circle.

Two laps.

Three laps.

……

Shen Yan was still running, and at a very steady pace.

His breathing was steady, and his posture didn't change much.

The smile on Zhao Peng's face slowly disappeared.

"no."

"Is this kid really running away?"

He originally thought Shen Yan was just saying it.

I'll run a couple of laps at most, work up a sweat, and then come back and say, "That's about enough."

As it turned out, Shen Yan showed no intention of stopping at all.

Fourth lap.

Fifth lap.

Sixth lap.

……

Shen Yan's forehead began to sweat.

My clothes gradually got wet, but my steps remained steady.

Zhao Peng suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Shen Yan's speed doesn't seem like he's just running casually; it's more like he's trained in long-distance running!

The problem is, Zhao Peng remembers that Shen Yan's physical fitness wasn't good before!

I don't usually see Shen Yan running on the track every day!

Did this kid secretly practice behind my back?

impossible!

He goes to class and eats with me every day, so where does he find the time to exercise?

Zhao Peng became more and more confused as he looked at it.

On the track, Shen Yan was also observing his physical condition.

The first kilometer was very easy, with almost no pressure.

During the second kilometer, Shen Yan's breathing became deeper and his heart rate increased, but his body was still able to adapt steadily.

The third kilometer.

My legs started to feel slightly sore and swollen.

However, this soreness and swelling is completely within a controllable range.

It wasn't the kind of discomfort where you feel like you can't keep running; it was more like a normal reaction after your body has been fully mobilized.

This shows that the system enhancement is not a sham.

He really did elevate his body to this level!

We reached the fourth kilometer.

Sweat was already streaming down Shen Yan's forehead.

The back of my clothes was soaked.

His breathing also became noticeably heavier.

But he didn't stop; instead, he maintained his pace and continued forward.

By this time, Zhao Peng had completely stopped using his phone.

He stared at Shen Yan, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets!

Holy crap.

"How many laps have we done?"

"Could he really finish the race?"

A few students occasionally passed by on the playground.

Seeing Shen Yan running lap after lap, I couldn't help but take a few more glances.

It was the middle of the day, after all.

As soon as get out of class ended, everyone else went to eat.

Is this guy running 5,000 meters?

He has a serious illness!

The last kilometer.

Shen Yan finally felt noticeably tired.

My lungs started to feel hot, and the soreness in my leg muscles worsened.

Sweat streamed down his face, but his mind remained perfectly clear.

There wasn't that overwhelming feeling of wanting to just lie down and collapse.

His body can still hold up!

Is this the level of a third-class athlete?

Shen Yan's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Not bad!

It's really good!

In his previous life, after he started pursuing his doctorate, his body was basically worn down by night shifts and working in the laboratory.

Let alone five thousand meters.

Sometimes I feel short of breath when I go up the stairs!

This feeling of having complete control over my body right now is just so amazing!

On the last lap, Shen Yan slightly increased his speed.

Zhao Peng's eyes widened in astonishment upon seeing this.

"no!"

"You still have the energy to speed up?"

"Are you even human?"

Shen Yan did not answer.

After crossing the finish line, he slowly stopped.

Bend over and support yourself on your knees with your hands.

He was panting heavily.

He was covered in sweat, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

But his condition wasn't as bad as Zhao Peng had imagined.

He didn't collapse directly to the ground.

I didn't vomit, nor did my legs go weak and I couldn't stand up.

I'm just tired, very tired.

Shen Yan took a few breaths and realized what was going on.

Level 3 athlete.

It definitely worked!

Moreover, this level of achievement is not simply a matter of giving a score.

Body coordination, breathing rhythm, and endurance were all brought to the corresponding levels.

This is true enhancement!

Zhao Peng walked over with his phone in his hand.

His expression was very complex.

"Shen Yan".

"Tell me the truth."

"Were you an athlete before?"

Shen Yan wiped away his sweat.

"no."

Zhao Peng glared at him.

"No?"

"You call this not existing?"

"You're a medical student, you just finished four anatomy classes, and you skipped lunch and ran five kilometers straight."

"The key is that you actually finished the run."

"You're telling me you've never practiced?"

Shen Yan casually said:

"Maybe I'm in a better state of mind today."

Zhao Peng rolled his eyes.

"You're in such good shape, how could you be in this good condition?"

"When I'm in a good mood, I can only eat one more serving of chicken cutlet rice!"

After saying that, Zhao Peng looked down at the timer.

Then I quickly looked up the standards for a level 3 athlete in the 5,000-meter race on my phone.

After checking, he fell silent.

There was a long silence.

Then she looked up and stared at Shen Yan as if he were a monster.

"Goodness."

"It's actually almost at the level of a third-tier athlete!"

"How come I never realized you were such a good runner?"

"You've been hiding your true colors well!"

Shen Yan smiled.

There was no explanation.

He can't exactly say that he just learned this from studying anatomy, can he?

Even if you told him, Zhao Peng wouldn't believe you!

Just at this time.

The system panel in front of Shen Yan flickered slightly.

He originally just wanted to take a look at the changes in his physical condition.

But it turned out that...

My diagnostic skills have actually improved somewhat!

Although the progress was not significant.

But it really did go up!

Followed by.

A series of diagnostic knowledge points began to emerge in Shen Yan's mind.

He certainly knew these things in his previous life.

But now, it has become even clearer!

It's not about rote memorization; it's about clarity.

Instead, it was combined with the physical feedback from my body after running 5,000 meters!

His lungs were hot just now, which corresponds to an increase in the workload on his heart and lungs.

Soreness and swelling in the calves correspond to muscle fatigue and lactic acid buildup.

Excessive sweat loss increases the risk of dehydration.

Maintaining a stable gait corresponds to lower limb muscle coordination and joint stability.

Theory and practice connected in my mind instantly!

Shen Yan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Good guy!

Can running increase your medical knowledge?

He now fully understands the true value of the dual cultivation system of medicine and martial arts!

Learn anatomy to improve your long-distance running ability.

Running five kilometers gives back to diagnostics.

This is a two-way loop!

This combines medicine and physical training into one!

What if I train in combat sports in the future?

Could it improve the diagnosis of orthopedic, neuroanatomical, and sports injuries?

What if we practice shooting?

Could it improve ballistic trauma, battlefield hemostasis, and trauma surgery?

What if you train for cross-country with full gear?

Could it improve first aid in the wild, assessment of dehydration, and recognition of shock?

……

Shen Yan became more and more excited as he thought about it.

This system is perfect for him!

When Zhao Peng saw him smile again, he immediately took a half step back.

"no."

Why are you smiling again?

"Don't scare me."

"For a normal person, running 5,000 meters should be painful, not exciting."

"Your expression makes it seem like you have some mental issues."

Shen Yan straightened up and stretched his legs.

"It's nothing, I just feel incredibly refreshed all over after the run!"

Zhao Peng's lips twitched.

"You run 5,000 meters and get all drenched in sweat, and you're telling me it feels great?"

"If someone like you doesn't go to the army, who will?"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something.

His expression changed instantly.

"It's over!"

"The peak hours at the cafeteria are over!"

"The braised pork is definitely gone!"

"Even chicken legs are dangerous!"

"Shen Yan, it's all your fault!"

"I didn't even eat so I could watch you run!"

Shen Yan caught her breath and glanced at him.

"How about this?"

"This meal is on me, order whatever you like!"

Zhao Peng's expression instantly brightened.

"real?"

Shen Yan nodded.

"Thank you for waiting for me!"

Zhao Peng immediately perked up.

"Then I won't be polite! I'll add a chicken leg and a bottle of ice-cold Coke!"

Shen Yan reminded him:

"Didn't you say that the chicken legs in the cafeteria are dangerous food? That they make you fat?"

Zhao Peng spoke with righteous indignation.

"So we need to hurry!"

The two quickly went to the cafeteria.

Fortunately.

There are still chicken drumsticks left.

The braised pork is gone.

Zhao Peng looked at the empty braised pork window and felt heartbroken.

"Look!"

"This is the price you pay for running five kilometers!"

"The braised pork is gone!"

Shen Yan bought two meals.

I added chicken drumsticks and braised eggs to Zhao Peng's plate.

Zhao Peng then reluctantly forgave him.

"never mind."

"Since you're treating, I'll do it."

"That's the end of it."

"But let me tell you, you were terrifying today."

"He flipped through the anatomy book this morning and declared he'd mastered it!"

"I ran another 5,000 meters at noon."

"So, are you planning to go to the library this afternoon to do another round of practice?"

Shen Yan thought about it seriously.

I have class this afternoon.

Zhao Peng: "..."

He was holding his food, and he felt terrible.

"You've actually thought about it?"

Shen Yan said calmly:

"Time shouldn't be wasted!"

Zhao Peng almost broke the chopsticks.

"I'm completely convinced."

"You're struggling both academically and physically."

"I used to think you were just a medical student."

"Now I've discovered you're the most cunning and ruthless of all medical professionals!"

"Once you join the army, won't your squad leader adore you?"

Shen Yan thought for a moment.

"They might hate me to death."

Zhao Peng was taken aback.

Why?

Shen Yan said:

"Curly King isn't generally well-liked, but things might be a bit better in the military?"

Zhao Peng nodded in deep agreement.

"You're finally showing some self-awareness, and Dad is so glad!"

"Get out of my way! I'm your father!"

……

After finishing the meal.

The two packed two meals and went back to their dormitory.

Shen Yan was covered in sweat and went straight to the bathroom as soon as he entered the room.

Zhao Peng put the food on the table and slumped into his chair.

The other two roommates in the dormitory were getting ready for a nap in bed.

One is named Li Hao, and the other is named Zhou Yang.

In his previous life, Shen Yan's relationship with them was far less good than his relationship with Zhao Peng.

After graduation, all I know is that they went to other places and didn't stay in Shanghai.

The two had only been lying down for a short while.

Upon seeing Zhao Peng return, Li Hao casually asked a question.

"Why are you two only getting back now?"

"Didn't we go eat right after class?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Peng immediately perked up.

"Don't even mention it!"

"Shen Yan has gone mad!"

Zhou Yang poked his head out of the bed.

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Peng pointed in the direction of the bathroom.

"Just finished an anatomy class."

"This kid said he's almost finished studying a basic anatomy textbook."

Li Hao: "?"

Zhou Yang: "?"

Zhao Peng continued to contribute.

"Then I skipped lunch and went straight to the track to run 5,000 meters."

"The amazing thing is, he actually finished the race!"

"I checked my results, and they're roughly at the level of a third-tier athlete!"

The dormitory was quiet for a few seconds.

Li Hao slowly sat up from the bed.

"What did you say?"

"Did he study the entire anatomy textbook?"

Zhou Yang also sat up.

"And you ran 5,000 meters?"

Li Hao added:

"Level three athlete?"

Zhao Peng nodded.

"Isn't that outrageous?"

"I saw it with my own eyes."

"That kid was still laughing after he finished running."

"I suspect his mental state is no longer what it used to be for a normal person!"

Li Hao fell silent.

Zhou Yang also fell silent.

The silence was eerily quiet.

Then, Li Hao silently climbed out of bed.

Zhou Yang also silently sat up and reached for the anatomy book on the table.

Zhao Peng was stunned.

"no."

"What are you doing?"

Li Hao looked serious.

"study!"

Zhou Yang also took a deep breath.

"I was planning to take a nap, but now I can't fall asleep."

"Shen Yan has already learned it all once, but I haven't even learned one-fifth of it."

Zhao Peng was dumbfounded.

"Seriously, bro!"

"It doesn't need to be like this!"

"Shen Yan is not normal!"

"You can't use him as a reference point!"

"He's a pervert!"

Li Hao opened the book.

"But he's in our class too."

Zhou Yang nodded.

"He's from our dorm, we can't let him outdo us, can we?"

Zhao Peng: "..."

Oh no, Shen Yan hasn't even joined the army yet.

First, roll up the dorm room!

Zhao Peng slammed his fist on the table in frustration.

"Brothers, calm down!"

"You really don't need to do this!"

"That kid Shen Yan is going to join the army!"

"I'm thinking of studying medicine properly before I leave!"

"That's why I'm suddenly working so hard!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Hao stopped turning the pages of his book.

Zhou Yang also raised his head.

The two spoke in unison.

"What?"

"Shen Yan is going to join the army?"

Zhao Peng blinked.

"You don't know?"

Both of them shook their heads at the same time.

Zhao Peng slapped his forehead.

"It's over."

"I thought you knew."

"He signed up for the army today, and his parents agreed."

"Now I'm just waiting for the medical examination."

The dormitory fell silent again.

Li Hao glanced at the anatomy book in his hand.

I glanced in the direction of the bathroom again.

I was completely stunned.

"no."

"He's about to join the army, why is he still so interested in medicine?"

Zhou Yang murmured:

"Are these the top students from provinces with highly competitive college entrance exams? They're terrifying!"

Zhao Peng slumped back into his chair.

"Don't ask, the answer is that their talent is too abnormal; they can remember everything they see!"

Not long after, Shen Yan came out after taking a shower.

Her hair was still wet.

As soon as I entered, I saw all three of my roommates sitting at the table.

There was an anatomy book in front of each person.

The atmosphere was as serious as if the final exams were tomorrow.

Shen Yan was taken aback.

"What are you doing?"

Zhao Peng looked at him with a deep, quiet gaze.

"Thanks to you."

"Now no one in the dorm can sleep."

Li Hao looked up at Shen Yan.

"Shen Yan, are you really going to join the army?"

Shen Yan dried his hair and nodded.

"Um."

Zhou Yang couldn't help but ask:

"So you're going to join the army."

"Why are you still studying medicine so diligently?"

Shen Yan paused slightly.

He glanced at the anatomy book on the table.

Then I remembered the diagnostics level that had just been upgraded in the system panel.

A slight smile played on his lips as he couldn't help but joke.

"Who says you can't study medicine if you're in the military?"

"After all, having more skills means having more career options!"

"Maybe after you graduate, when you see me again, you'll have to call me 'Commander'!"
