Li Ang was surprised to find that the tornado, in a life-or-death situation, had suddenly granted him 5 Limit Break Points.

This number directly surpassed the total he had earned from previous competitions and fighting with Xiao Hei.

But the level of danger this time was truly uncontrollable, and he still felt a bit scared even now.

If it were to happen again, he definitely wouldn’t dare to try, in case his luck were bad, and he got hit by a rock or rebar in a vital area, he could have lost his life.

Moreover, his [Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training] had skyrocketed in proficiency after sustaining so much damage, crossing directly into the next realm.

Li Ang suspected that this was also why the injuries he received were relatively light.

Even if he had reached Master Level in [Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training] from the start, he might not have needed to go to the hospital and could have had his wounds treated at any clinic.

The priority now was to eat well and rest properly to recover as quickly as possible.

Under normal circumstances, wounds that were deeper than one centimeter, or covered a large area, would take more than three weeks to heal in an ordinary person.

But Li Ang was not an ordinary person, his body’s healing speed, after his constitution reached the human limit, was several times faster than that of a normal person.

There were five days left before [Titan Game] started, and if he managed it well, there was a chance he could recover.

After exchanging pleasantries, most people went on their way, leaving only Catina and Sheila beside Li Ang.

Of course, Catina stayed because she too needed to get her wounds treated at the hospital, but her injuries were relatively minor, so she could take care of Li Ang.

And Sheila stayed out of concern for them both, reasoning that there could be times when no one would be able to care for them, so she simply chose to remain as well.

Being cared for by one woman is a form of happiness, but being cared for by two women means facing some pressure.

One wipes your sweat, while the other passes you fruit; showing a slightly different attitude to one could earn you the burning gaze of the other.

Finding a moment when neither was around, Li Ang finally got the chance to check on the progress of his wound’s healing.

Generally, two to three days after an injury, the fibroblasts in the skin and subcutaneous tissue proliferate, exerting a force that pulls the edges of the wound towards the center, and that’s when it begins to shrink.

Starting from the third day, granulation tissue begins to appear in the wound, and after five to six days, fibroblasts produce collagen fibers, forming a scar.

At this point, Li Ang discovered that his less severe wounds, which had only been a day or so, had already reached the state that would take an average person five to six days to achieve, with scars already forming.

Even the deepest wound had already begun sprouting a fair amount of granulation tissue.

All things considered, his wound healing speed had already reached four to five times that of an average person.

And that was without the additional 20% boost to bodily recovery provided by “Sports Massage.”

Li Ang slipped his less injured hand under the covers, massaging the uninjured or less hurt areas of his body, planning to apply the enhanced recovery state on himself.

Just at that time, Sheila and Catina happened to return from the restroom together.

Six eyes met, and the air suddenly became somewhat tense.

Li Ang hadn’t reacted yet, and the movement under the covers continued.

It wasn’t until he saw Catina’s slightly blushing cheeks and agape mouth that Li Ang realized he might have given them the wrong impression.

Embarrassedly, Catina scurried to the door, while Sheila sat beside Li Ang and whispered consolingly:

“I know you might really want to relax your body right now, but given that you haven’t fully recovered yet, could you maybe hold off a bit longer?”

“Huh? I… was just massaging myself, that should be okay, right?”

Li Ang had no choice but to explain.

Sheila nodded, indicating understanding.

Then she leaned in close to Li Ang’s ear and whispered softly:

“If you really want a massage, I… but after all, we are in a hospital.”

As she spoke, Sheila sneakily glanced at the door, then continued:

“How about I come to your house to massage you after you’re discharged?”

Li Ang frowned slightly; the idea of Sheila giving him a massage wasn’t out of the question, but other than some basic effects, it did not increase his recovery ability.

However, he didn’t want to dismiss her kindness outright, so he simply nodded and agreed.

Sheila, seeing Li Ang’s frown, thought he was worried about the wait being too long.

Eager to help but lacking a good solution, she leaned closer and gently flicked her tongue over his earlobe, murmuring softly, “Just bear with it a bit longer.”

Catina came back into the room, her face still wet with droplets, clearly having just washed her face, and walked right into this scene.

This made all three of their cheeks flush with warmth.

Catina was nearly scolding herself to death internally for her timidity at such a critical moment. If you don’t make the move, then who will be waiting for you?

For the time being, Li Ang set aside the worry over the two women and faced an even bigger problem.

Following standard hospital procedure, wounds needed a dressing change every three days after treatment, and tomorrow was the scheduled time, but the healing speed of his wounds was obviously much faster than normal.

If it were just half or even twice as fast, he could pass it off by claiming to be young and robust, but the speed being four to five times faster was hard for anyone to comprehend through common sense.

Li Ang certainly wasn’t afraid of fame, but he was definitely not willing to become known for this.

In his own country, it might be different, but this was America, and he was genuinely afraid.

Others joke about being afraid of being dissected for study, but his kind of super healing ability really could invite such a possibility.

Thus, he knew he had to handle this matter carefully.
