Eight hours later, Li Shi woke up. In contrast to the refreshed sensation he usually felt after fusing Physical Attribute Points, he felt a sour aching throughout his body this time. Just lifting his arm caused a wave of pain.
Every muscle seemed exceptionally stiff, making any movement difficult.
With considerable effort, he managed to sit up in bed, breaking out in a cold sweat.
"How could this be?"
That breaking through a physique score limit of 15 would cause such discomfort was something he would never have imagined. Unable to help himself, he let out a bitter smile. But even just smiling tugged at his facial muscles, causing a sour pain that had him baring his teeth and grimacing.
He currently felt like a guy who hardly moves all year long and suddenly decided to run a marathon. He didn't collapse, but the next day, every part of his body was sore and stiff from muscle tearing and the accumulation of lactic acid.
