The moment his speed dropped, the intense pain, both internal and external, returned to torment Zhao Yuan. He knew this was a sign that the residual medicinal power wasn't dissipating fast enough. He wanted to speed up, but his body's exhaustion had reached a critical point. He simply couldn't go any faster. Just managing to keep running without stopping was already his absolute limit.
This situation, where slowing down caused pain but speeding up was impossible due to a lack of strength, was beyond tormenting. Even someone with Zhao Yuan's strong willpower was driven to the brink of madness. But even so, he clenched his jaw and kept running, running for his life. No matter how slow his pace became, he persisted, absolutely refusing to stop.
