His body wasn't even close to reaching its limits.

"Here, put on your shoes."
Su Huanqing came over carrying a brand-new box, handed Xu Lingjun a pair of shoes, and said, "I bought these for you while I was out. Are you feeling better? Do you need my help to put them on?"
Xu Lingjun politely said, "No need, thank you, Teacher Su."
"Never mind, you seem pretty tired, so just rest for now. Let me help you put them on."
Su Huanqing knelt down in front of Xu Lingjun and took off his ruined shoes.
