Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 203 - 198: Devouring Traits

After putting the phone on the bedside table.

Wang Ye sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, bathing in a sliver of moonlight shining through the curtains as he cultivated his Innate Skill.

As his Power in Innate Skill grew increasingly refined, his perception of all things became ever more acute. He could distinctly sense the Innate Qi contained within all living beings, even sharper than the Five Senses. He didn't even need to open his eyes to sense the cockroach nest hidden behind the wooden cabinet and the countless densely packed cockroach eggs within the oothecae, gnawing in the dark on a piece of crushed eggshell brought from the kitchen.

"Having been away from home for too long and poor sanitation has led to a cockroach infestation..."

Wang Ye slowly opened his eyes and sighed softly.

He got up, put on his slippers, and took out cockroach poison from the drawer.

Tore open the packaging.

And evenly sprinkled it in the corners.

Then he stopped bothering about the cockroaches.

Wang Ye didn't need to worry about these cockroaches crawling onto his face while he slept at night.

His Innate Skill and Golden Bell Shield provided him with an absolute shield that offered both magical and physical resistance. Innate Skill would naturally release a terrifying deterrence towards other creatures, commonly known as bloodline suppression, which was most effective on natural creatures relying on instinct, though slightly less so on highly intelligent beings like humans. Hence, unless these cockroaches were starving to death and desperately searching for food, they would certainly not approach him actively. Moreover, the Biological Force Field brought by the Golden Bell Shield could block all external attacks, even able to perfectly resist low-caliber bullets with weak power, let alone these cockroaches.

Wang Ye continued to cultivate his Innate Skill for a while until it was 1 AM.

Then he covered himself with a quilt and went to sleep.

July 18th.

About 100 minutes after Wang Ye fell asleep,

he naturally woke up.

And the quality of his sleep was exceptionally high, almost entirely super deep sleep.

All the fatigue in his body had completely dissipated.

"Super deep sleep" is the name Wang Ye gave to his current sleep state.

As the name suggests, his current sleep quality far exceeds the deep sleep quality of ordinary people.

Deep sleep is known as golden sleep. In a deep sleep state, the muscles of the body relax greatly, self-awareness disappears, body temperature drops, neural reflexes diminish, heartbeat slows, blood pressure slightly drops, metabolic rate slows down, and gastrointestinal peristalsis significantly weakens. With sufficient deep sleep, the body's organs can perform more excellently upon waking; a lack of sleep can lead to a significant drop in immunity, and thinking and reaction abilities could be halved. It's said humans face a high probability of death if they stay awake for more than ten days, illustrating the crucial importance of deep sleep for humans.

For fitness enthusiasts and athletes, sleep is even more critical because it's the period when the body secretes various hormones, especially growth hormone, which is at its highest secretion during deep sleep.

The level of growth hormone directly determines the strength of muscles and bones as well as the rate of metabolism. People with low levels of growth hormone will be weaker than ordinary people no matter how hard they train. In contrast, people with high levels of growth hormone can maintain a healthy and strong body even with constant overeating and lack of exercise.

Therefore, some professional athletes, in desperate need of advancement, will inject such hormone drugs to quickly enhance their physique. But if this illicit behavior is detected by anti-drug organizations, they will be forcibly banned for life.

Yet, the hormones that are so valuable to athletes can be acquired for free during deep sleep.

Nowadays, Wang Ye's sleep duration is getting shorter, even reduced to an outrageous one hour. This abnormal routine, according to the current biological sciences, should be extremely dangerous. If an ordinary person lived according to Wang Ye's schedule for a month, it would pose a high risk of death, and their muscles and bones would rapidly weaken and become brittle, with a considerable decline in athletic performance.

But Wang Ye can always maintain a state of high spirits.

The speed of his physical improvement is continuously high, seemingly without a limit.

The only possible explanation is that Wang Ye's sleep quality has improved.

So much so that one hour of deep sleep can be equivalent to ten hours of deep sleep for an average person.

But this change is difficult to detect with instruments.

Wang Ye can only rely on his speculation to judge the changes in his sleep.

Wang Ye steadied his mind for a moment.

Then stood up.

Planning to go to the kitchen to cook something and replenish the energy consumed by sleep.

He took thirty pounds of ingredients and five packets of noodles from the fridge.

Placed them on the cutting board and handled them one by one with a kitchen knife.

Poured them into a pot filled with water.

While cooking the noodle soup, he also recalled the sensations from his just concluded deep sleep.

Wang Ye indeed felt a significant enhancement in his sleep depth.

If his deep sleep before evolution was like swimming in a lake,

then his current deep sleep level is akin to diving tens of thousands of meters deep in the sea.

He could feel nothing but endless darkness and dead silence.
