Angela and Wayde couldn't believe that Adam really was planning to drink 10 litres of water that had 3kg of sugar dissolved into it, but after everything else that he had done and been capable of, it wasn't anything too shocking.

Adam couldn't even pick up the bucket and needed Wayde's help, but Wayde didn't once complain and seemed to want to help Adam, which Adam appreciated massively.

​​

Wayde didn't have a childhood and Adam saw that he was similar to Chase in the way that he was quite weird and ignorant despite their age and power, but both of them were kind-hearted and had become Adam's friends.

With Wayde's help, Adam began to gulp down large amounts of water and sugar.

It was incredibly sweet to the point that it would taste sickening to others, which was to be expected, but to Adam, it felt like a cool breeze that was cooling down the burning that was occurring all over his body.

He continued to chug down the sugar water and despite the large amounts of sugar water that he was drinking, his belly wasn't sticking out, which was what was expected if anyone drank that much water.

It seemed as though his body was using the sugar water as soon as it reached his stomach, which was insane and meant that his metabolism was inconceivably fast.

Metabolism is the chemical reactions in the body's cells that change food into energy. Human bodies need this energy to do everything from moving to thinking to growing.

That was known as External Energy, while energy that was absorbed from the atmosphere was turned into Internal Energy and Adam didn't know of a way to cultivate externally by directly using the energy in the atmosphere.

Adam had noticed that his metabolism was faster and noticed he could eat much more without feeling full, but thought that was normal for a cultivator and didn't realise how amazing it was.

External Cultivation would increase one's capacity to eat, but not as much as Adam's had increased and Adam had the perfect body for a cultivator that had been completely cultivated in every single way.

The stats were a way to represent one's raw power, but there were other things, such as one's metabolic rate, that couldn't be directly measured and weren't seen as very important.

Because of Adam's body, he could recover very quickly, adapt to different environments easily and grasp new techniques and skills easily, as his body wasn't restricted in any way.

"Amazing" mumbled both Angela and Wayde who were amazed by Adam.

His muscles had deflated after using the Bloodlust Characteristic to increase his power and he looked much skinnier after the battle, but they were visibly bulging and growing back to their original size.

Adam's body had been starved of External Energy and also of Internal Energy, but it was most important for him to recover his External Energy that also represented his physical energy.

Because of that, the large amounts of glucose he was drinking was being used by his body hungrily as his body began to rapidly recover.

The pain was still present, but was being suppressed by a cooling sensation and Adam continued to drink the sugar water as his body began to steam and return to its peak state.

Adam went from a much slimmer and seemingly fatigued and malnourished self, to his original muscular and healthy state.

The room was filled with steam that was being released out of Adam's pores as his body that was burning internally evaporated the water that was unneeded by his body, and used all the sugar that he had drank.

An ordinary person's body wouldn't have been able to handle even a small amount of the sugar water that Adam drank and if they tried to do the same as he had just done, they would have either vomited uncontrollably or had a heart attack.

Yet Adam had a relaxed expression and a slight smile on his face as he finished every last drop of the sugar water.

"What just happened?" asked Angela who was amazed and confused as to how that was possible.

The sugar would obviously provide his body with some energy to help him recover, but that amount of sugar and the rate at which he recovered was unbelievable.

Adam shrugged as he began to wolf down more of the jerky that came in different flavours and felt much better than how he was feeling before.

But he still wasn't fully recovered and knew that he would need at least a whole day of rest and lots of food and sugar to help his body recover, while repeatedly using the Ethereal Recovery Skill.

Wayde and Angela didn't know how to react to what they just saw, as they looked at Adam amazed by how much he was able to drink and eat and how quickly he was able to recover.

It didn't make sense how his body was steaming or how his body was able to inflate his muscles in a matter of minutes, but since he seemed to be getting better, they had no reason to complain.

Adam ate all the jerky that was a few kg worth, within a few minutes, then closed his eyes, crossed his legs and seemingly began to cultivate.

Seeing that he was focused on cultivating, Angela and Wayde left him to do so and ordered some food to their room. Although the food was extremely low quality when compared to what she was used to eating in her family, but her hunger and situation made it so that she couldn't complain.

They didn't want to leave Adam alone as he couldn't have completely recovered and was focused on recovering, so had no choice but to order food to where they were.

There was a weird aura around Adam as he recovered and after eating their fill of the food they ordered, they watched Adam closely as the wounds on his body began to rapidly heal.
