Training and Massive Improvement

Training and Massive Improvement

A mere two hours.

The Three-Body Stance had improved Chen Sheng more than a full day of training on his own.

Driven by excitement, Chen Sheng wanted nothing more than to get back up and train relentlessly through the night.

However, when Chen Sheng tried to move,

he found that his body was completely spent.

Forget practicing the Three-Body Stance.

He was having trouble even getting up from the floor.

What was going on?

After a brief moment of surprise, Chen Sheng quickly figured out the reason.

The increase in attributes was essentially a rapid conversion of the energy within his body.

The reason he had fallen into exhaustion was likely because his attributes had risen so drastically in such a short time, severely depleting his body's energy.

If the increase in his Constitution attribute had not also restored some of his stamina,

he would probably have passed out already.

With that in mind,

Chen Sheng could only temporarily give up on continuing his Three-Body Stance training.

After resting for ten minutes,

he barely regained the ability to move.

Slowly getting up from the floor, Chen Sheng staggered toward the kitchen.

Fortunately,

before leaving that morning, Chen Sheng had already marinated some meat, and there was leftover rice in the rice cooker.

He took out the meat from the fridge and deep-fried it.

Then he stir-fried some Chinese cabbage.

Finally, he made all the leftover rice into egg fried rice.

After half an hour,

a simple, nutritious dinner was ready.

Chen Sheng turned on the television and began eating dinner while watching the evening news.

The news channel began with national news.

Those matters were too far removed from Chen Sheng, so he did not pay much attention.

But when the local news began, his attention was immediately drawn in.

The suspect in the Quangang District murder case that occurred the day before yesterday, Zhao Hui, remains at large.

According to the latest information from our reporters, Zhao Hui was last seen in Jincheng District. Residents are urged to stay safe and not put themselves in danger.

Hearing this, Chen Sheng froze.

He was in Jincheng District.

And he had watched the news about this murderer, Zhao Hui, just yesterday.

He had killed nine people at a construction site, then murdered four police officers while fleeing.

Such actions were utterly horrifying.

Chen Sheng could not help wondering whether Zhao Hui was a Qi Sense User. Or even a Celestial Being.

At the thought that someone so terrifying might be only a few kilometers away,

Chen Sheng could not help but shudder.

He subconsciously closed his eyes and prayed that he would not run into the man.

He was only twenty-five.

His wonderful life had only just begun. He had not even been in a relationship yet. He did not want to die at the hands of a murderer like this.

As Chen Sheng put on a show of praying to every god and Buddha he could think of, the television continued reporting one piece of news after another.

The suspect in the electric bike theft case that occurred in Zhangcheng District several days ago has now been apprehended.

Yesterday, at a university in Jincheng District, a student got into a conflict with his roommates after returning to his dormitory.

The day before yesterday, a brawl involving weapons broke out at a bar in Gangcheng District, causing multiple casualties. Please watch the surveillance footage. The suspects remain at large. We will continue following the case and await the latest information from the police.

The amount of information contained in just three news reports was immense.

Especially the last one.

In the surveillance footage, an unarmed figure charged straight into a crowd.

What followed was not shown.

But the outcome had already been explained at the end of the report.

Chen Sheng picked up his phone and began searching online for news from various places.

"Starting half a year ago, the Tide Rising Era began, and the concentration of qi has been increasing at an unprecedented rate."

"Even now, there is no sign of it stopping."

Thinking of what Li Chenghu had said that afternoon,

Chen Sheng felt a heavy weight in his heart.

He had a feeling that the effects brought by the Tide Rising Era would continue to expand.

Even someone like him, who only wanted to train his body honestly, might get swept into it.

Chen Sheng slowly clenched his hand.

Before that happened, he had to make sure he possessed enough strength.

With that thought,

Chen Sheng quickly finished his dinner, cleaned up the mess, and headed straight to the balcony.

"Train!"

"If it doesn't kill me, I'll train until it does!"

Before practicing the San Ti Stance, Chen Sheng decided to test his current physical condition first.

He loosened up his limbs, then braced himself with both hands and dropped straight to the floor.

Ten minutes.

One hundred Push-ups, easy!

Ten minutes.

One hundred Sit-ups, easy!

Another ten minutes.

After finishing one hundred Squats, Chen Sheng felt that it had been a little too easy.

No.

He had to do another hundred!

In the end,

Chen Sheng exceeded the training target he had set for himself a few days ago.

His Strength attribute increased by 0.03, becoming the second attribute after Constitution to reach the standard of an ordinary person.

"Phew—"

Chen Sheng sprang easily to his feet, feeling that he still had plenty of stamina left.

His muscles were only barely engorged with blood.

Next came the Three-Body Stance practice.

But before beginning, Chen Sheng decided to go out first.

Practicing the Three-Body Stance would consume a great deal of energy.

He had already cleared out the food at home during dinner.

He decided to go buy some things first, in case he used up too much energy that night.

Half an hour later,

Chen Sheng returned home carrying a large bag of takeout containers in each hand.

The owner of Sha County Snacks now looked at Chen Sheng as warmly as if he were family.

Chen Sheng had not intended to buy so much.

But the owner happened to be closing up, so he gave all the remaining food to Chen Sheng.

After "repeatedly refusing," Chen Sheng could only "reluctantly" accept it.

After placing the food containers in the living room,

Chen Sheng returned to the balcony.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and adjusted his physical state.

Then,

his body slowly began moving through the motions of the San Ti Stance.

Force.

Posture.

Breathing.

As Chen Sheng focused completely, the energy within his body was rapidly consumed, while his body grew stronger at an astonishing pace.

Two and a half hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Sheng's skin was faintly flushed all over.

In the cool autumn night, waves of heat could be seen continually rising from the surface of his body.

"Phew—"

Chen Sheng let out a long breath and slowly withdrew from the stance.

This time, he did not push himself to complete exhaustion, instead retaining enough strength for basic movement. Yet the growth in his attributes was even more impressive than that afternoon.

Chen Sheng

Strength: 1.08

Agility: 1

Constitution: 1.13

Skill Points: 0.42

Both Strength and Constitution had increased by 0.06. Even Agility had risen by 0.04, successfully entering the range of an ordinary person.

Skill Points had risen even more.

At this rate, Chen Sheng would be able to upgrade the San Ti Stance again tomorrow.

Closing the panel,

Chen Sheng felt incomparably refreshed.

Just then, his stomach began signaling its hunger.

He went to the living room and started working through the food he had brought back from Sha County Snacks.

Though it had already gone cold, Chen Sheng did not care in the slightest and still ate with great enjoyment.

After eating, Chen Sheng rested for a while.

When the time seemed right, he began cleaning up the mess and preparing for bed.

An hour later.

"Feels great!"

The moment Chen Sheng, who had trained all day, lay down on his bed, he felt as though every cell in his body was cheering.

He turned off the light.

Very soon,

Chen Sheng drifted off to sleep once more.
