The exchange between Levi and President Mars didn't last long, soon Levi left his office.
With little effort, Li Wei quickly located the administration department and spotted Yang Lin's office.
"Hello, Ms. Yang Lin."
"Hello there." Yang Lin, a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her forties, had a slightly plump figure.
She said, "President Mars has already informed me about you. Now, I have compiled a list of the exercise methods you can exchange for. Here you go. Just take a look and let me know which one you would like."
Li Wei took the list from her hand and began to examine it carefully.
There weren't many exercise methods listed on it. After each one, there was a brief passage explaining and introducing them.
After going through the list, Li Wei chose an exercise method called "Heart of Steel."
This was a comprehensive exercise method that simultaneously developed both the strength chain and the hub chain.
Generally speaking, Evolutionaries who do not really want to achieve a balance between two abilities usually would not choose composite training methods. If allowed to choose freely, Li Wei would prefer five single and targeted training methods, making it more convenient for him to match abilities and allocate them as needed.
However, there was no choice. He looked at the exchange price of these training methods. The exchange points for training methods all started in the thousands. After missing this opportunity to grab a training method at will, it might be a long time before he could exchange points for a new training method. Worse still, he had demands for the development of genetic chains across multiple ability dimensions.
After weighing the pros and cons, he made this decision.
...
Holding the first part of the Steel Heart training method, Li Wei returned to his room.
Glancing at the time, it was less than nine in the morning. After some calculation, he planned to spend the whole morning to figure out what this training method was really about, and hopefully gain a bit of entry.
If it's too difficult, just set it aside for now. After all, the regional monster hunting assignment is still ongoing. Time is extremely precious at this moment. The more monsters you hunt down, the greater the rewards.
Deciding to act, he opened the slightly thin book in his hands.
To be precise, it was actually just a pamphlet. In just a few flips, he could reach the end.
It clearly described the compound training method known as "Heart of Steel" and how to proceed with the first stage of training.
After carefully reading through it and making sure he had a good grasp, Li Wei began his attempt.
The method's initiation was not particularly difficult, but like all forms of training, this unique regimen required persistent effort over time. Gradually and steadily, it improved one's strength in the relevant aspects.
Throughout the morning, Li Wei's mind had been deeply immersed in this method of cultivation. The union of mental focus and physical training was a rather enjoyable sensation. Later on, he even felt somewhat unsatisfied, prompting him to head to the guild's training room.
At present, the hunters of the Clover are reveling in this rare regional hunting commission, all indulging in a carnival, and no one came to compete with Li Wei for space.
After an entire morning of training, Li Wei felt that he had made not insignificant progress. He noticed that his body had become stronger, his power more abundant, and his spirit more concentrated.
It was unclear whether this was genuine or an illusion, but Li Wei believed that this method of cultivation should indeed be effective.
Returning to his room, he saw a note posted on his door.
"I intended to invite you to join my team and see if there are any good game worth hunting, but you weren't around, so I went ahead."
It was left behind by Cai Yu Tong.
Li Wei let out a soft chuckle, peeled off the note, and walked into the house.
He didn't plan to go out today.
After taking a bath, he enjoyed a nice nap in the afternoon. Upon waking, he took out the C-grade gene liquid.
Besides slowly tempering one's body and soul through grinding work like exercise methods, the best way to use it is actually in combination with gene liquid.
Injecting gene liquid, the degree of development obtained in the five major chains is completely random and almost average.
This doesn't matter much for beginners. Before unlocking genes or even before completing the limit of tempering, beginners are lacking in all aspects and need comprehensive improvement.
However, those who aspire to unlock genes and go further on the evolutionary path must focus - at least when opening the gene chain for the first time.
After injecting a C-grade gene fluid into his body, Li Wei felt the familiar heat surging from every part of his body.
Without wasting any time, he immediately began practicing the "Steel Heart" training method.
This time, the progression speed of the training method was much faster than when he trained by himself in the morning.
After an hour of tempering was completed, he distinctly felt the difference.
In the past, when he injected the gene fluid, he could clearly feel that various aspects of his body would be enhanced to a certain extent. However, this time, the improvements in other areas were not significant, but he distinctly felt a considerable increase in physical strength and mental level, which was several times higher than when he improved holistically.
This is the significance of the training method. By running the training method before the injected gene fluid's effects are completely absorbed by the body, the effects of the gene fluid can be concentrated and utilized to enhance the areas that the training method targets.
With a flick of his fist, Li Wei felt that his physical strength had increased by about ten percent compared to the past. Most notably, it was his demonic left hand that had become even more powerful.
As expected, as he had anticipated, his demonic left hand was definitely closely related to the Power Chain.
With a thought, he summoned the Mage's Armor once again.
Although there was no immediate way to test the defensive effects of the Mage's Armor, its protection was definitely stronger than before.
This enhancement was probably due to the strengthening of the Hub Chain. It seemed that the Mage's Armor was related to the Hub Chain, but he wasn't sure if it had any connection with the Impenetrable Chain.
Next, he tested his Mangekyō, formed of Sharingan and demonic energy, as well as the Claws of Demonic Energy. All of them had become stronger. The insight provided by the Sharingan was noticeably better than before; the Claws of Demonic Energy were also more potent.
The only thing that remained unchanged was Steel Slash. It seemed that Steel Slash had nothing to do with the Hub Chain and the Power Chain. Its effect should be related to other chains, such as the Reflection Chain.
This basically confirmed his previous thought: the various abilities obtained from the Book of All Laws were inevitably closely related to his own strength.
Putting the used syringe aside, Li Wei took out a box and gently opened it. Inside the box, six bloodcore formations of different shapes stood quietly.
After enhancing himself with gene fluid and exercise methods, it was time for the Book of All Laws to unlock a new page!
