BXBX NOVEL Chapter 31
The weighted gear slammed onto the ground, emitting a dull thud.
“Refreshing!!”
Chen Sheng stretched lazily, feeling light and airy all over, as if he was about to take off in the next second.
After moving his limbs a bit in place,
the familiar sense of control returned to his body.
While lying on the sofa,
Chen Sheng looked at the results of his training today.
Just as usual, he first ran from the Martial Arts Hall to the gym, trained for three hours, and then ran back home.
During this time,
Chen Sheng never took off his weighted gear from start to finish.
Therefore,
the improvement was much greater than it had been in the previous days.
[Chen Sheng]
[Strength: 1.71]
[Agility: 1.44]
[Constitution: 1.93]
[Skill Points: 1.3]
Strength increased by 0.1
Agility increased by 0.04
The most exaggerated part was the Physical Attribute, which increased by a whole 0.2
This would also become Chen Sheng’s first attribute to break through 2.
Furthermore, his skill points successfully reached 1.3
Based on the current speed, Chen Sheng estimated that he could upgrade his Five Elements Fist again tomorrow.
By then, combined with the Three-Body Technique, the improvement effect could be further increased.
After a brief rest to restore his physical strength, Chen Sheng went to the bathroom to take a shower.
“These muscles,”
“These lines,”
“Who wouldn’t be enchanted by this sight?”
He took off his clothes and couldn’t help but admire his reflection in the mirror.
Underneath his skin, the contours of his muscles were incredibly clear.
Between every muscle, there were chiselled grooves.
Due to his high Physical Attribute, each muscle was just right and didn’t appear bloated.
But hidden beneath this frame was an astonishing amount of power.
Looking at Chen Sheng now,
No one could relate him to the previous skin-and-bones appearance.
After taking a shower, Chen Sheng took out a pack of herbs and put them in a pot to cook.
After setting the timer, he went straight to bed.
He opened his mobile banking app.
Now his balance was only around 37,000 yuan.
Although the Martial Arts Hall didn’t charge fees, it also wouldn’t spend too much money on ordinary disciples.
Aside from eating and buying some weighted gear, he didn’t have any other expenses.
But he still felt anxious.
Once he’s out of the herbs, he’d need to buy more with his own money.
Given his current appetite, his daily food expenses were no small sum.
37,000 yuan,
Although it could still last a while, there would always be a day when it would run out.
Chen Sheng wanted to make money,
But his daily schedule was packed full.
If he really went to work, there wouldn’t be much time left for training.
“Why not ask my master?”
But as soon as this thought came up, Chen Sheng dismissed it directly.
Given Li Chenghu’s character, once he found out he didn’t have much money, he might find a way to support him and do so in a way that couldn’t be refused.
Thinking it through,
Chen Sheng didn’t come up with a solution.
Adding to that, he was constantly overwhelmed by drowsiness, and soon he slowly closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again,
It was already late in the evening.
Chen Sheng jumped up from the bed.
He went to the kitchen,
Cooked, ate, drank medicine, and cleaned up.
One hour later.
As Chen Sheng finished cleaning the bowls and chopsticks, he gradually felt a surge of heat from within his body.
He could feel that the Qi and blood in his body were accelerating.
The reaction was more intense than before.
Chen Sheng knew that the Vitality Soup was starting to take effect.
He quickly walked outside.
Perhaps it was because his physical quality had improved,
Or perhaps it was because the weather was gradually getting colder.
As soon as Chen Sheng arrived at the balcony, a white mist continuously rose from his body’s surface.
The surging Qi and blood within him, as well as his rapidly beating heart, constantly raised his body temperature.
At the same time, this made him feel hot and restless.
Chen Sheng immediately began to practice his Five Elements Fist on the balcony.
First, he practiced slowly and gradually integrated the Three-Body Technique.
Then,
His movements got faster and faster.
In the quiet night sky, the moon gradually rose higher.
Moonlight spilled onto the balcony,
Chen Sheng was in a state of self-forgetfulness as he repeatedly practiced the Five Elements Fist.
His fists sliced through the air, one after another.
The energy inside his body surged like a sea.
A mist rose from his body, enveloping him as though he wore a white robe.
In that moment,
He seemed like a banished immortal entering the mortal realm.
Time slowly flowed forward.
Three and a half hours later.
Only when his strength was exhausted and the vitality soup’s energy was completely transformed did Chen Sheng halt his movements.
“Huff—”
He took a deep breath.
Warm vapors rapidly condensed into mist in the air, shooting straight out to a distance of one meter.
During his training,
he constantly felt that he was only a bit away from producing sound with his punches.
As a result,
His movements became faster and the force in his hands grew stronger.
But that little bit remained elusive, like an unattainable chasm.
He brought up the panel.
[Chen Sheng]
[Strength: 1.86]
[Agility: 1.59]
[Constitution: 2.08]
[Skill Points: 1.75]
All three attributes had increased by 0.15.
The constitution attribute had successfully crossed the two-point threshold.
Chen Sheng closed his eyes and carefully felt his body.
Having twice the constitution of an average person made him feel exceptional at this moment.
His spent strength gradually recovered with each inhale and exhale.
The recovery speed was noticeably faster than yesterday.
This feeling of growing stronger every day was enthralling to Chen Sheng.
Unfortunately…
Chen Sheng opened his eyes and looked at his fists.
A hint of regret flashed in his eyes.
He still hadn’t reached the Light Energy Level of ‘producing sound with a punch.’
According to Shi Jian,
One could only produce sound with a punch if their physical strength was sufficient and they could mobilize the muscles throughout their body to exert force in an instant.
The force requirement had already been met by Chen Sheng after upgrading the Five Elements Fist.
Now, all that restricted him
was his physical strength.
Fortunately, it wasn’t too far off.
In the past two days, the Light Energy martial artist Chen Sheng had the most contact with was Shi Jian.
If Chen Sheng were to convert Shi Jian’s strength into attribute points, he estimated it would be between 2.6 and 2.7.
As an Eighth-Rank Light Energy martial artist, Shi Jian was only one step away from An Jin.
Entering the Light Energy realm certainly wouldn’t require such high strength.
According to Chen Sheng’s estimates,
He only needed his strength to surpass the two-point threshold.
Then, he would be able to… produce sound with a punch!
Now, his strength attribute had reached 1.86.
After much consideration,
Ultimately,
Under the temptation of becoming a Light Energy martial artist,
Chen Sheng decided to stay up a little late tonight to raise his strength attribute to two points.
He sat on the balcony,
planning to start his basic training as soon as his strength recovered.
It was at that moment,
“Brother Chen!”
A call came from downstairs.
Chen Sheng looked over.
Xu Ziwen had returned from cleaning the deserted graves and was standing downstairs, waving at him with cleaning tools in hand.
His face was covered in dust, yet his smile shone brightly.
Is he really so diligent in cleaning the graves?
Doubt flashed through Chen Sheng’s mind.
Nevertheless, he instinctively responded politely.
“Teacher Xu, you don’t seem tired from sweeping the graves every day.”
In the past few days, they had met several times, and Xu Ziwen had also delivered snacks in the afternoon.
Chen Sheng’s conversation was much less formal than before.
“You don’t know how many deserted graves are there”
“For every known pair, there’s an unknown pile.”
“Anyway, I have nothing better to do, so I’m just doing a little more.”
Xu Ziwen explained with a smile.
In response,
Chen Sheng could only show a look of admiration.
He had a rough idea of the situation there.
When he was a child, he and his friends from Wutong Village would often explore the deserted graves.
So many years had passed, and there must be even more graves by now.
“Take a break occasionally, don’t tire yourself out.”action
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Xu Ziwen headed toward the wooden house.
Chen Sheng closed his eyes, prepared to focus on recovering his strength.
