The moment this thought came to mind, he did not seem to want to stop at all, but he was sure that in this pool there were many scary creatures. He could see that even the elephants kept their distance and this only meant they were afraid of this pond.
He had to be ready for the probability that something would try to drag him under the water, he had practiced on a stream, but he did not know the effect of applying the movement skills on the water. In the end, it was not reflected on the panel, rather it improved as his agility and power control increased. At this moment though he had some hesitation.
When he was in thought it suddenly hit him that he had been overlooking something all this time, "movement! RIGHT! Movement! The problem was not the elk, but the movement when running." when his mind replayed the movement of the elk, he seemed to gain some flash of inspiration.
More importantly, he found himself even remembering the movement in slow motion, but that was not important, the moment he looked at it, what he saw was more than just the running of the elk, rather a unique more detailed pattern seemed to present itself.
This was a change in how he practiced the part of the deer movement. And when he opened his eyes, to his surprise, he had taken a step forward eventually.
He was at the moment feeling a change in his body, it was as though it was on fire. Moreover, by looking at the attribute panel, even larger changes had taken place.

The lifespan had jumped so fast, and he was sure that once he made some progress in Five Animal Boxing he could increase his Lifespan, but it would not be as much as how it improved when he crossed the proficient stage from entry.
In the same way, he could feel some discomfort all over, but it was vague, more like an illusion. Even though this feeling did not cause him pain, it was true he felt discomfort.
"What is this feeling? I guess it is necessary to improve the practice before thinking about it." he was already starting to have some suspicions. The moment he felt this vague discomfort, he was guessing that the issue might have something to do with the spirit. More importantly, the body was also involved.
Once he improved them, even though the breakthrough of the clone, he would find out. He was not in a rush, but his thoughts seemed to drift. Eventually, he calmed himself down and continued to let the process of transformation take place.
The massive aura that leaked from his body when the process was ongoing seemed oppressive and drove off almost all the creatures that were gathered. The bird flew away, while even the elephants in the distance retreated into the forest.
He was the only person left behind and seemed to not even notice this change. More significantly he could feel that hunger was becoming more of an issue and he had to sort it, his body seemed to require massive amounts of energy.
The only reason he was able to hold on was the fact that his improvement of Physique was not that great. In this way, he can be said to have consumed less energy in the process, and thus still had enough to support his activities.
When Cheng Shan opened his eyes, he could not help but exhale lightly.
"I need a lot of food to make up for my loss of energy and at the same time make sure the process of transformation happening is completed perfectly." he was already feeling the power surging through his body.
This feeling was impressive, but at the same time the weakness seemed to spread, even though it was spreading slowly, it was felt by him. He needed resources to replenish his blood energy fast.
Walking out of this place was not within his plans, and at the same time, he did not see any creature edible. When he was breaking through the creatures seemed to have been forced away by the pressure from his body.
At this moment it would require him to make a lot of moves just to accomplish what he wanted.
But that did not seem to bother him at all.
The trip back this time was necessary but he was not that bothered by the development of things.
In his cognition, nothing was as important as improving himself. The benefits he could gain when stronger. He had already realized that some regions were more dangerous than they seemed on the surface and if he could gain an energy source, which in his case was food, he could move further.
He did not seem to experience any changes like he had thought when he broke through to the proficient stage of the Wu Qin Xi. But even so, the increase in life level was already an indicator of the amazing effect of that technique. The only problem was something he did not need to think about at the moment how to further after he managed to reach the very limit of profiency.
It seemed that the human blood was a very important aspect as all the improvements he had so far could be felt through the blood in his body.
Most of the issues that he had thought of considering before such as the spirit seemed to be slowly coming into place. When he looked ot the panel he was sure that he could increase the spirit level but in the end it would almost be impossible for it to perfectly match his physique. One will always be ahead and he thought it was eventually a good thing if the spirit was stronger. In his cognition, the human body was after all difficult to understand.
According to his current situation, he was already someone with a long Lifespan and those immortals in legends would be nothing more than that.
