When Xiao Wen turned on the brakes, the rapidly spinning wheel quickly stopped.
Panting, Guan Yu did not say anything. He only glanced at Xiao Wen for a moment before stepping off the wheel, slowly walking in the shade of the courtyard.
Xiao Wen had already taught him all the procedures in the past few days. For those common after the fitness after the small mistakes, also less and less have been made.
After handing Little Guan Yu a bowl of dark green soup, Xiao Wen smiled.
Although this bowl of soup looked a little like the potion made by the witch, or perhaps the blood of the devil. As long as Xiao Guanyu took the medicine bowl and asked Xiao Wen, "What's the price?", and Xiao Wen replied, "Everything!", then the feeling of evil would immediately burst.
However, this bowl of soup was actually made with Chinese herbal medicine, vegetable juice, salt and baking soda.
As Xiao Wen watched Xiao Guan Yu finish the medicine in one gulp, he smiled and said, "Your results are quite good. It seems that you can take the 10 miles of long-distance mission."
His gaze was focused on an instrument on the wheel. It was a counter that had been modified according to the principle of the clock, showing the distance to which it had been run.
In order to create this instrument, Xiao Wen had paid a huge price and hired the best craftsman in the entire Cloud County to make him some parts. In this era, only a craftsman with jewels would have such precise parts that Xiao Wen was satisfied with.
The more precise the parts, the higher the requirements were for the craftsmen.
"If I need more sophisticated instruments in the future, I have to go to Ming Kingdom and find that Lu Zigang. I'm afraid only a jewellery craftsman of his level would be able to craft such high precision components. " After Xiao Wen received the counter, he muttered to himself.
The mechanical clock, the difference machine, as well as many other magical tools, not only required Xiao Wen's blueprints, but also needed skilled craftsmen's hands to create it.
However, this was all a story in the future.
"Whew ~ ~" Xiao Guanyu heaved a sigh of relief, as if he was trying to expel all of the fatigue from his body through this turbid breath.
Hearing Xiao Wen's encouragement, Xiao Guan Yu nodded and said: "Running does have many benefits, but why didn't I think of that before? Now, when I was practicing martial arts with Master Wang, I wasn't too tired. If it was in the past, then it would be extremely tiring after a day. "
Guan Yu has a profound experience on the improvement of endurance brought by a lot of aerobic exercise.
However, he still found it hard to believe the martial arts he had developed over a long period of time.
To increase the endurance and health of one's body, these things did not require a profound martial art. As long as one was able to run properly, he or she would be able to do these things.
No wonder the soldiers in the army could not defeat a Martial Master in combat. However, if there were more soldiers, they would be able to hang the same number of Martial Masters and fight with them.
It was not only because of the difference in equipment between the two sides because of the prohibited weapons such as the armor and the strong crossbow. It was also because the army had displayed a discipline advantage that far surpassed the martial practitioners of the martial world after they had formed the formation.
It was also because they had undergone long distance running training that their endurance was much higher than the average martial artist.
"However, Mister Xiao, I have a question that I don't quite understand …" Guan Yu scratched his head as he looked at Xiao Wen.
"Speak!" Xiao Wen smiled faintly. With his abilities, Guan Yu's problem wouldn't trouble him.
After all, he had a huge library. With Guan Yu's current scope of knowledge, he couldn't ask a question that Xiao Wen couldn't answer.
Even if it were a question of philosophy or theology, he could have come up with tens of thousands of words.
He didn't want this to be the correct answer, at least it would be able to fool Guan Yu.
However, it was obvious that Guan Yu, who was a martial arts enthusiast, would not ask such a question.
He looked at Xiao Wen and asked doubtfully, "Sir, I feel like my strength has decreased a lot recently. "I wonder what is the reason for this …"
Xiao Wen narrowed his eyes and asked, "How's your food?"
As for Guan Yu, Xiao Wen had asked him to record the amount of food he ate every day to a maximum of two degrees.
Therefore, Guan Yu should be able to answer this question well.
Sure enough, after a brief recollection, Guan Yu said, "Because almost every day in the Cloud City, there would be a big family's cow accidentally falling to its death, so every day I would be able to eat one catty of beef and two catties of brown rice."
Even though killing cattle was against the law in the feudal era's farming civilization.
As an important labor force, cattle are very important labor force for farmers. Abandoning the increase in agricultural production provided by the cattle for the sake of several kilograms of beef is a very shallow act.
Rulers who paid the slightest attention to agriculture would do their best to combat such behaviour.
However, the taste and taste of the beef was indeed better than other meats. With the exception of a few picky eaters, almost no one disliked beef.
Therefore, large families would often think of ways to make their cows accidentally fall to their deaths.
And in this region where martial arts was prevalent, because practicing martial arts consumed a large amount of meat, the cattle here would naturally be even more careless.
Almost every day an ox falls to its death on the road in Midcloud County.
This would give the Guan Family, as a cattle slaughterer, a long term source of meat to eat.
To be honest, Xiao Wen was really envious of Guan Yu's life.
One had to know that the pork of this era usually had a heavy smell of urine. With bad luck, it might contain parasites.
It could be said that in terms of taste, taste, and health, it was far inferior to that of beef.
Restraining his envious feelings, Xiao Wen turned his thoughts back to Guan Yu's problem.
He checked Little Guanyu's caloric intake schedule and found that his recent diet hadn't changed much.
"Does the increase in exercise cost you more than 500 calories?" Xiao Wen pondered.
After all, only when the body's calorie intake is insufficient to sustain the heat consumption will it begin to decompose fat and muscle.
"That's a good thing." Xiao Wen said.
"Good news?" Guan Yu asked in puzzlement. Weak strength turned out to be a good thing. Guan Yu could not understand this logic.
"Of course it's a good thing." Xiao Wen laughed lightly, "Because your body has successfully entered the lipid-reducing stage. "For the next period of time, you just have to maintain this level of appetite and intake."
"Lipid reduction period?" Hearing this, Guan Yu revealed an excited expression.
In fact, after the results of the old military doctor's medical examination came out, Xiao Wen had already informed Guan Yu of a big problem with his body — his body fat rate was too high.
Body fat ratio, as the name implies, is the ratio of body fat content to body weight.
For this data, Xiao Wen simply used the super library's retrieval system to find its formula -- male: (waist circumference (cm) 0.74) - (weight (kg) 0.082 + 44.74 )/weight (100%). Women: (waist circumference (cm), 0.74) - (body weight (kg), 0.082 + 34.89 )/body weight, 100%.
By substituting the waist circumference for the formula, Xiao Wen easily got Guan Yu's body fat ratio.
The result was very sad. Guan Yu's body fat rate was actually around 21%.
Although this figure may be due to the inaccuracy of the scale in this era, the margin of deviation would never exceed two percentage points.
Even the lowest 19% was not a healthy figure.
Although he had consumed a large amount of meat daily, the amount of calories from practicing martial arts was not as high as the amount used for fitness.
It was obvious that Guan Yu was not only short of lung capacity, but his body fat was already overweight under this kind of backward training method.
So, Xiao Wen had to do some weight loss training.
