427… 428… 429…
In the Gym, under Smith's skeptical gaze, Bai Ye's legs trembled as he continued his squats.
Based on his previous experience of reaching his physical limit, Bai Ye knew he would likely collapse after about ten more squats. However, unlike before, he now had two strands of Inner Force within him.
Feeling his stamina was almost depleted, he struggled through the squats. At the same time, the Inner Force in his Dantian flowed out through his Meridians, heading towards the various acupoints in his legs. After circulating through his body, the fatigue in his legs was immediately relieved.
It really works. Bai Ye was delighted, realizing it was just as Yue Buqun had explained in his annotations, that it could restore stamina. He then calmed himself to observe the state of his Inner Force.
After circulating through a full cycle, the two strands of Inner Force in his body depleted by a tenth, about two strands. This meant he could recover nine more times.
With his body slightly recovered, Bai Ye continued his squats. After another twenty squats, his muscles reached their limit again. He then controlled the Inner Force in his Dantian to replenish his stamina.
In Smith's bewildered expression, Bai Ye's squat speed would always slow down to a certain point before suddenly speeding up, then gradually slowing down again, repeating the cycle.
"What's going on? Did this kid take some kind of drug? This is such a huge change! If he did a little more, he could try for a Guinness World Record!"
Smith didn't know how many times he'd been surprised by Bai Ye since they'd met. This kid always came up with something new.
Finally, under Smith's somewhat numb gaze, Bai Ye exhausted the last bit of his Inner Force in his Dantian and, unable to hold on, his legs gave way and he collapsed onto the yoga mat.
You have completed a bodyweight squat with a total of 663 repetitions...
Repeating 62 times increases Strength cap by 0.1 Repeating 32 times increases Constitution cap by 0.1 Repeating 92 times increases Spirit cap by 0.1
"It seems that when the body is at its limit, the training effect is several times greater than usual, and Inner Force can extend the number of times I can train at the limit, which is like I've directly activated a multi-experience card." Seeing this, Bai Ye finally confirmed his guess.
"In that case, I'll train my body to its limit first, and then use Inner Force to recover. Repeating this process, before school on Monday, I should be able to increase my Attributes again by 0.1."
Bai Ye sat cross-legged on the yoga mat, thinking. Under Smith's bewildered gaze, he slowly recovered the Essence he had consumed in the morning.
Compared to increasing the upper limit of Inner Force, recovering lost Essence was much faster. Plus, his Essence was already pitifully small, so it only took a few minutes to fully recover.
After refilling his Inner Force, he looked at Smith and said, "My legs are weak. Could you carry me?"
"Uh, what do you want to train now?" Smith asked.
Bai Ye didn't answer, just pointed at the weight bench nearby.
Just like that, Bai Ye increased his strength step by step according to his own rhythm, constantly challenging his physical limits with different training programs.
When he couldn't keep up with the training, he would use Inner Force to alleviate the strain. Once his Inner Force was exhausted, he would stop training to recover. After refilling, he would switch to a new program. Through continuous exercise, he slowly adapted to the pain of training.
In the evening, he would return to his room to cultivate the Purple Mist Divine Skill, increasing his Essence limit.
The description panel after 18 hours: You completed a bodyweight squat with a total of 1392 repetitions, and your Constitution Attributes limit increased to 1.3!
The description panel after 24 hours: You completed a push-up with a 30kg weight and a total of 831 repetitions, and your Strength Attributes limit increased to 1.4!
Finally, after being awake for 27 consecutive hours, Bai Ye, exhausted, stared straight ahead. His eyes were filled with unwavering determination as he threw a standard straight punch at the Force Meter.
The moment of impact was accompanied by a deafening roar that echoed throughout the Gym, and the numbers on the Force Meter began to rapidly climb.
200→300→400→500→600
Finally, as Smith watched with disbelief, the Force Meter's display settled on 672 pounds.
At the same time, a cool sensation washed over Bai Ye's mind, clearing his consciousness. Even without looking at his Attributes, he knew his mental Attributes had increased to 1.4.
"My God, how is this possible? 672 pounds! That's already surpassed the world record!" Smith exclaimed. Bai Ye, however, remained silent, staring at his Attributes.
Name: Bai Ye
Lifespan: 18/120 Strength: 1.4+ Constitution: 1.3+ Spirit: 1.4+ Charm: 1.4+ Unused Attribute Points: 0.5 …
'Just 1.4 Strength, and I can break the world record for ordinary humans?' Bai Ye felt that the values on the Attributes panel were a bit off.
He knew that when his Strength was 1.2, he couldn't even hit half of this value. Yet, with only a 0.2 increase in the numerical value, his physical fitness had more than doubled.
Moreover, after investigating for the past two days, he also discovered some hidden content on the Attributes panel. For instance, the Strength attribute wasn't just about muscle power; it also included speed of movement.
Constitution represented the body's resilience, the speed of cultivation, and the speed of physical healing.
As for the Spirit attribute, it represented willpower, the speed of nerve response, control, memory, observation, and comprehension abilities.
He speculated this because when Bai Ye's Constitution increased, his cultivation speed for the Purple Mist Divine Skill also increased accordingly.
When his Constitution reached 1.3, it only took him 15 minutes to condense a wisp of Purple Mist Essence, reaching the level of a peerless genius as described in Yue Buqun's annotations.
But what surprised him even more was that his entire body seemed to be connected. When he did squats, the strength in his arms would also increase because of the leg exercises, and the cultivation speed was the same.
In other words, even though he hadn't worked out his "little brother," it didn't mean his "little brother" hadn't been worked out!
This Attributes panel seems to have a lot of secrets to uncover. Why isn't there a manual or something? Bai Ye thought, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.
Then Bai Ye said to Smith, "Let's call it a day. I have school tomorrow, Monday, and I might not be able to train until after class. So, you're free to do whatever you want before three o'clock."
"Alright, alright," Smith said cautiously.
Seeing such a huge change in Bai Ye, Smith now considered him a mutant.
Because of the propaganda from the entire human government, the status of mutants was as repulsive as a rat in the street. He even hesitated about whether to report Bai Ye to the police and send him to a mutant containment facility.
Of course, that was just a thought. Now, Bai Ye was his client. Watching him train was pretty relaxing except for the occasional surprise. He still got paid, so there was no need to get involved.
After leaving the Gym, Bai Ye, feeling great physically and mentally invigorated due to his breakthrough, went straight home. He was no longer satisfied with simple physical training; he wanted to try out some ideas.
