8. The Dawn Of Full Recovery, Uchiha Mikasa's Joy

"Keep going!"

Since it was so effective, and the health-preserving exercises could indeed accelerate the digestion of Sea King meat, what reason did he have to stop?

The key was that with the help of Sea King meat, he not only felt no fatigue or soreness but actually felt better.

Without hesitation, Sora resumed his practice, repeating the exercises over and over.

[You eat Sea King meat to assist in practicing health-preserving exercises, proficiency +3, life +3, life source +0.01]

...

As the Sea King meat in his stomach was digested and converted into vitality and nutrition, Sora's body visibly improved.

His complexion turned from pale and withered to faintly rosy, looking far healthier than before.

After practicing over ten times in a row, Sora finally felt his body reaching its limit. Most of the Sea King meat in his stomach had been consumed, so he stopped.

"Huh!"

Finishing his exercises, he let out a long breath and wiped the sweat from his face. Despite the tiredness and soreness in his body, he felt much lighter, as though a heavy burden had been lifted.

Walking over to the table, Sora sat down and looked at the large plate of Sea King meat in front of him. After some thought, he waved his hand and placed it into the space-time gate.

Within the gate, he designated an area with a time-freeze function, specifically for storing food and other items to prevent spoilage.

Since he had absolute control over the space-time gate, setting this up was effortless.

Afterward, Sora checked the changes in his attributes.

[Lifespan]: 7 months and 12 days (congenital deficiency, life origin: 3.43/10)

The lifespan column showed significant changes.

Not only had his lifespan increased by more than a month, but an additional "state" was displayed, and his life origin was now clearly revealed.

"A normal 6-year-old has about 10 life essence? Mine is so depleted. No wonder my lifespan is so short."

"Currently, practicing health-preserving exercises with Sea King meat restores 0.01 life essence per session."

"The daily limit of practicing with Sea King meat is about 15 times."

"As my essence is restored and my body strengthened, the number of daily practices will definitely increase."

"If I rely solely on this method, it'll take about 60 days—just two months—to fully restore my life essence."

Excitement filled Sora's eyes.

"That's amazing! Only two months to recover completely—it's much shorter than I thought! Haha!"

He began to imagine a future where his body was fully restored. With his talent and effort, he envisioned himself growing rapidly stronger, unifying the Naruto world, and dominating the One Piece world.

"That day won't be too far away!"

With confidence, Sora clenched his fist and muttered to himself.

"What won't be too far?"

At that moment, Uchiha Mikasa's voice came from outside the door.

The door opened, and Uchiha Mikasa walked in.

She immediately noticed the improvements in Sora's vitality and overall condition.

With a sharp "swoosh," she flashed in front of Sora, grabbing his hand. Channeling chakra and using her perception, she examined his physical condition carefully.

Finding that all of this was not an illusion, Uchiha Mikasa looked at Sora with joy and excitement and asked, "How did you recover so much, so quickly? Is it the effect of Sea King meat?" 

"Yeah!" 

Sora nodded affirmatively and gestured toward the open door. 

Uchiha Mikasa waved her hand, using a chakra thread to close the door before Sora began to explain. 

"It's the effect of Sea King meat combined with health-preserving exercises," Sora said. "I left the restaurant earlier because I realized that with my previous physical condition, my digestive ability was severely impaired, making it difficult to process the Sea King meat." 

"So, I thought about using health-preserving exercises to speed up digestion. As it turned out, my guess was correct!" 

"The combination of health-preserving exercises and Sea King meat not only doubled the cultivation effects but also greatly reduced fatigue and soreness, allowing me to train more frequently." 

"The most important part is that through my talent, I can sense this method is restoring the source of my life." 

"I estimate that using this method, it will take less than two months for me to completely make up for my congenital deficiencies and achieve a truly healthy body! If I combine it with appropriate conditioning medicine, this process could be even faster!" 

"Really?" 

Uchiha Mikasa's excitement was palpable. "Can this method truly restore your congenital deficiencies?" 

"Yes! Absolutely!" Sora nodded firmly. "Moreover, I believe this method will also work for you, Mom, to restore your life source." 

"So, please practice health-preserving exercises with me using this method. With your physique and digestive ability, I believe your recovery speed will be even faster than mine!" 

"Of course, your understanding of health-preserving exercises must improve as well," he added. 

His own mastery of the exercises had reached a level of minor success, making his results far superior to Uchiha Mikasa's. 

"Alright! Mom will listen to you. I'll practice!" 

With a gentle smile, Uchiha Mikasa reached out to touch Sora's cheek before stepping aside to begin practicing the health-preserving exercises. 

Meanwhile, Sora continued copying medical books, occasionally offering advice to his mother to help her improve her practice. 

Thanks to her natural talent, Uchiha Mikasa's proficiency in the exercises increased at a visible pace. 

After more than ten rounds of practice, Uchiha Mikasa stopped. 

By then, the Sea King meat in her stomach had been completely digested. With her strong physique, she hadn't reached her physical limits, especially with the endless vitality and high nutrition replenishing her. She simply paused because the Sea King meat had been fully absorbed. 

Her health-preserving skills had progressed from the entry stage to the proficient stage. 

Given a few more days, she felt confident she could reach the grandmaster level. 

"Huh!" Uchiha Mikasa sighed with relief as she approached Sora. "Sora, I feel like I almost returned to my peak state!" 

She sat beside him, her tone filled with excitement. "Not only have the serious illnesses and hidden injuries in my body been largely repaired, but even my life source has been significantly restored!" 

"The method you suggested is truly effective. I feel that if I keep this up for more than 20 days, my life source could be fully restored!" 

"Unfortunately, restoring the origin of the soul isn't so easy," she added thoughtfully. 

"Even so, restoring the life source will allow me to regain more than half of my lifespan. Living for a few more decades shouldn't be a problem at all." 

"Once my life source is fully restored, it can slowly nourish my soul, gradually restoring the soul source. If my life source and physique continue to strengthen, this nourishing effect will increase further." 

"Recovering to my peak is no longer just a distant hope." 

Who would have imagined that combining the Sea King meat from another world with health-preserving exercises could produce such heaven-defying results? 

Uchiha Mikasa even noticed a faint warmth in her blind right eye, as if it was beginning to recover.
