Night.
Chen Shouyi opened the Status Panel and looked at the 275 points of Faith Value. An idea suddenly struck him.
275 points instantly became 75 points.
Then, a surging wave of heat erupted, spreading through every limb and bone. His entire body became scorching hot, and his skin flushed red.
He stood up and walked a few steps. A dozen seconds later, the wave of heat slowly faded.
He opened the Status Panel:
Giant Battle Body (Advanced): 2.05%.
Sure enough, one hundred points of Faith Value are needed to raise the progress by one point, Chen Shouyi thought.
Over the past few days, the Faith Value he earned each day had been steadily increasing. At first, he had gained only seven or eight points a day, but now he was getting around fifteen points daily—and that was far from the limit of its growth.
Once it stabilized, he estimated that he would gain fifty points a day. Even if he maxed out the advanced Giant Battle Body, half a year would be enough.
He glanced at his body, drenched in sweat, and went to the bathroom to take a cold shower.
"I'll go test its effects!"
He walked to the window and glanced at the soldiers patrolling outside, instantly abandoning the idea.
It was the dead of night, and the commotion from testing it would be too great. If it attracted the soldiers, it wouldn't exactly be troublesome, but he would still have to waste a fair amount of breath explaining himself.
"Forget it. I'll just waste some Energy Value!"
Chen Shouyi lay down on the bed and soon entered the virtual memory world.
He opened the window and lightly leaped down. He ran swiftly to an open area, and before the soldiers arrived, he immediately transformed.
