Shi Lang went to sleep inside his room, with his body sore all over. He dragged himself to the bed directly. What he needed was to rest. The food he ate gave him enough energy, also the training inside the simulation did not consume much energy, however, his brain was stressed.

He clenched his fist and after he stood up he threw a few punches in the void and warmed up his body. Then he mumbled, "I am close to breaking through to the next level."
