Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Ling Lan's appetite was as good as ever, causing Lan Luofeng to be conflicted once again. It was a blessing that a child could eat, but was it really okay to eat so much?
Beside them, Ling Qin and Ling Nanyi were equally conflicted. Ling Lan's appetite was definitely on a monstrous level. Even though they knew that her body needed energy to sustain her appetite, this appetite was still a little too much.
They glanced carefully at Ling Lan's small frame, and could only shake their heads and sigh. They couldn't understand — could it be that their young master's stomach had come from another dimension?
Time proved that Ling Lan's worries were unnecessary. Although she ate a lot, other than growing a little taller, there were no other changes, such as width and so on. Not only that, but she was also different from other children who had received the gene stimulating agent. She was not as robust, and instead appeared thin and weak.
From then on, Lan Luofeng gave up on the idea of having Ling Lan go on a diet. If she was still so thin after eating so much, wouldn't her own baby turn into a bean sprout? In any case, the Ling family did not lack that bit of food.
Thus, no one bothered about Ling Lan's appetite anymore. In the end, if Ling Lan missed out on a plate of fried rice or steak, the entire Ling family would fall into chaos. The young master's appetite had deteriorated, could it be because of his illness... cough, habits were indeed scary.
Ling Lan was actually very puzzled by her own condition. She secretly sought out Little Four and asked him to find out the reason.
Little Four was very helpful — it didn't take long for him to find the answer.
It turned out that the reason Ling Lan looked so thin and weak was because what everyone saw as a healthy body was actually the result of the accumulation of impurities in the child's body. Of course, this result was not entirely a bad thing. The upside was that the impurities indirectly strengthened the child's body, allowing it to withstand a certain amount of force. The downside was that the impurities reduced the child's body's flexibility, resulting in poor stamina.
On the other hand, the agent Ling Lan absorbed did not contain any impurities, so it was impossible for any impurities to accumulate in the body and form a healthy exterior.
Moreover, Ling Lan's good appetite and large appetite had something to do with the high-level physical skills Ling Lan had learnt from the learning space. The practice of high-level physical skills was very taxing on the body's energy, so in order to replenish the energy her body needed, Ling Lan could only rely on eating diligently. The Ling family's secret medicinal bath recipe was also partly to blame for this. It increased Ling Ling's body's ability to absorb energy... what used to be one bowl of rice, Ling Lan's body was now doubled..
Of course, the more energy stored in her body, the more explosive her power would be. In short, this was a good thing for Ling Lan.
As for why Ling Lan looked so frail... Little Four wasn't sure. He searched for a long time, and finally had a vague feeling that the Qi exercises Ling Lan had learned in her past life were probably the main culprit.
After hearing Little Four's answer, Ling Lan was relieved. As long as there was no harm, and she could eat her fill, Ling Lan did not mind becoming a glutton.
However, Ling Lan's days of eating, drinking, and sleeping did not last long. Soon, she was mercilessly thrown to Chamberlain Ling Qin for training by her mother. It turned out that at the age of five, she was actually going to start learning the Ling family's inherited physical skills.
On the first day, Ling Lan got a taste of what a difficult future awaited her. The Ling family's physical skills leaned towards hard skills, so there were no so-called shortcuts. She could only rely on hard work to improve. For example, no matter how many punches or kicks, she would not be allowed to rest until she reached a certain number.
When Ling Lan completed her last kick, she collapsed to the ground, unable to move. Ling Nanyi, who was guarding her from the side, picked her up and sent her to the secret room to soak in a medicinal bath to relieve Ling Lan's exhausted body.
As soon as Ling Lan entered the medicinal bath, she knew that it was different today. There was no pain, only a tingling heat. It was so comfortable that she almost fell asleep.
Little Four finally opened his mouth and said disdainfully, "How can physical skills compare to the learning space's? It's easy to cause hidden injuries to the body. If they didn't have these medicinal baths, however many children there are, they would be ruined."
Ling Lan smiled bitterly and said, "It's not like I can't really stop training. What else can I do? I can only continue. I can't bear to see the two old folks disappointed. " In her past life, Ling Lan had seen her parents' disappointed expressions many times over her illness. So, every time she was exhausted and wanted to give up, she would change her mind when she saw the disappointment in Ling Qin and Ling Nanyi's eyes. She would have to pull herself together and persevere.
She really was someone who liked to be tortured! Ling Lan knew that this was one of her inner demons. The experiences of her past life would always inadvertently affect her decisions and actions in this life.
After soaking in the medicinal bath, Little Four found that Ling Lan's physical injuries had not been completely healed by the medicinal bath. Although they didn't seem to be a big problem now, after a long period of time, they would definitely leave hidden injuries in her body.
Little Four wanted Ling Lan to find a chance to skip tomorrow's training, but the next morning, he was shocked to find that the few remaining injuries on Ling Lan's body had disappeared without a trace. In fact, her condition was even better than it had been the day before.
Little Four was shocked, and hurriedly asked what Ling Lan had been doing all night.
Ling Lan's face was blank, as if she didn't understand what Little Four wanted to ask.
Little Four was flustered and exasperated. He wanted Ling Lan to explain clearly what else she had been doing all night apart from sleeping.
This was rather important. If they could figure out the reason, it would be a revolutionary discovery. Even in his world of absolute high technology, it was impossible to completely heal physical injuries with just the use of the healing fluid. It required a certain amount of overdraft, such as overdraft of life force or overdraft of the body's energy. Although these overdrafts were not a problem in the short term, they would bring about endless hidden injuries in the future.
However, Ling Lan's situation was completely different. Her injuries had been perfectly healed, but her life force had not weakened. Instead, it had become even more vigorous, and the energy hidden in her body had also become richer than before. All of this proved that Ling Lan had not used overdraft as the price to heal her injuries.
Ling Lan thought about it seriously, then told Little Four with uncertainty that she seemed to have practiced the Qi exercises before going to bed.
After hearing Ling Lan's answer, Little Four decisively let Ling Lan continue with her training for the day, and then practice the Qi exercises at night.
In the end, just like the first time, her body had once again recovered to its peak condition. Little Four looked at the Qi exercises in astonishment. He hadn't expected that a primitive planet with only a little bit of technology would actually have such a miraculous existence. The Qi exercises actually had the ability to nourish the body. Not only that, they could actually absorb a portion of the body's energy into their circulation pathways. And this energy could not be detected by technological means.
Little Four was able to see it because Ling Lan was his host. Because he could share spiritual power with Ling Lan, he could clearly 'see' the Qi exercises. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to imagine that such a secret technique actually existed in this world.
Little Four felt a little regretful. If he had known that primitive planet had so many miraculous things, he would have paid more attention to his search and collection. Unfortunately, it was all too late...
Author's Note: Stuck in the novel. Even though the plot had already been set up, it just didn't feel right... Perhaps my focus was on basketball? How depressing!
