Wang Feng gritted his teeth. For the first time in six years, he was this excited. He rubbed his hands together, feeling himself grow stronger right before his eyes. "Not enough. It feels like there's a faint energy flowing through my body... Could it be absorbing energy automatically?" But before he'd run for long, his legs began to go numb, and dizziness set in... "A month... Looks like I'll have to go without food or sleep..." Wang Feng stared into the night. "It's here!" Stellar Transformations was also a hugely famous novel. Wang Feng's eyes widened as he watched the meteor hurtle straight toward him. "Holy crap... Is it going to crush me to death? Am I, Wang Feng, about to become the first person killed by a cheat?" After thinking it over, Tang San said cautiously, "I can't say." After his body exceeded its limits... it grew stronger. The Meteor Tear really was powerful. Even without knowing any techniques, it was enough to make him stronger and stronger! His sluggish feet caught on a rock, and Wang Feng stumbled to the ground. And he could almost experience firsthand how the energy spilling from the Meteor Tear washed over every part of his body, making him stronger! Wang Feng nearly cried out... He'd felt awful just moments ago, but now he felt incredible. Night fell, and a cool breeze stirred. Wang Feng waited quietly on a raised platform outside a small grove, gazing up at the starry sky. Wang Feng opened his eyes, braced himself with his limbs, and pushed himself upright. This was unbelievable. Back on Earth, he'd watched countless training videos: ab workouts, planches, brutal special-forces training... Wang Feng roared inwardly, "I've got a cheat, damn it! If I can't stick with this, then I, Wang Feng, really am a complete waste!" "Get lost! I'm going to get stronger! I want girls, a Martial Spirit, Innate Full Soul Power, and the chance to show off! You're not going to tempt me!" As soon as he collapsed, Wang Feng felt an endless fatigue wash over him from every direction, like a tide... Beads of sweat the size of beans streamed down his body, soaking his clothes. His short hair looked freshly washed. Then a beam of light shot straight into the region around his heart. Glowing patterns spread across his chest, breathtakingly beautiful, like a sunflower in full bloom. "That feels amazing..." After his initial excitement, Wang Feng quickly calmed down and began to think. "Going by the time Grandpa Jack mentioned... Brother Tao should come to the Spirit Hall in Holy Soul Village in a month to perform the awakening ceremony..." At that moment, Wang Feng suddenly patted Tang San's shoulder heavily, his voice low. Wang Feng watched the faint glow around his heart and wondered, "Could it have turned into a nuclear reactor?" That was exactly what happened. A young boy who'd never exercised could easily suffocate or collapse from exhaustion if he suddenly started running at such intensity. "Hey, where's Brother Feng?" A series of panting breaths came from the small grove. Wang Feng's consciousness was growing hazy. He had no idea how long he'd been running. "Brother Feng... it's already morning..." Wang Feng's mouth twitched. He smiled calmly, radiating confidence, and headed for the little hill. "..." Wang Feng. Auxiliary Check-in System? Wang Feng's pace grew slower and slower... His legs began to tremble, his face flushed red, and his pupils started to lose focus. With the Meteor Tear, it was different: the time needed was greatly reduced, the training more efficient, and he'd be in no danger. Boom! A flash of light suddenly tore through the dark sky. A meteor streaked in from the distant horizon, heading straight for Wang Feng! "Brother Feng, you've spent the last few years lying down there watching me train every day. Were you trying to conquer the air?" In this state, his vision was already blurred... "My body hasn't gotten stronger... Looks like I have to reach a certain limit before the Meteor Tear's power will activate..." The hill was over a hundred meters tall and incredibly rugged. Even if you trained alongside me every day, you might not be able to climb it. "Brother Feng, why are you doing it differently today?" With the hope of growing stronger, Wang Feng was full of energy. He felt powerful all over, and the future seemed bright... This was a sign of exhaustion. But... as a homebody, he was naturally familiar with all sorts of anime and novels. In this extreme state, Wang Feng felt as if he were in intimate contact with the god of death... Tang San said in surprise. Wang Feng rubbed his lower abdomen. As he thought, Wang Feng took a moment to return to Holy Soul Village for a meal, then hurried back out. And as he grew stronger, he could gradually unlock more abilities. A few minutes later. It continued until nightfall. Wang Feng said mildly. Seeing this, Tang San's eyes widened, and he stared in disbelief... "I feel like I could knock out a seven- or eight-year-old with one punch now... and that's after just two hours of training..." Train? No chance. He felt he'd reached his limit. With every additional step, Wang Feng felt another will inside his mind tempting him: "Stop now. If you keep running, you'll die... Don't push yourself... It's pointless..." I knew it! A cheat might arrive late, but it would never be absent! He even felt a slight pressure from it, as though his body had grown taller. Wang Feng clenched his fist, terribly excited. "But the stronger I get, the harder it'll be to exceed my body's limits... This warm current must be the key to Innate Full Soul Power! Could it be Soul Power?" At that very moment, a gentle energy slowly spread from Wang Feng's heart to every part of his body. Wang Feng thought to himself, "If I check in at the Spirit Hall in Holy Soul Village and get Innate Full Soul Power, I'll earn an extra reward... That means I need to reach Innate Full Soul Power within this month... just like Xiao San..." In the early stages, it greatly increased the rate at which one absorbed the energy of heaven and earth, while also granting tremendous recovery ability. Qin Yu, the protagonist, had relied on this item in the early stages to break through his physical limits again and again, growing stronger and stronger! The muscles, joints, and other parts of his body, worn down by the sudden, intense exercise, began to recover rapidly... Wang Feng suddenly felt a little fortunate. "Little San, people have to strive for something better. It's time for your Brother Feng to find a new place." Tang San knew he'd cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill and that his physical fitness had long surpassed that of his peers. That was why he could climb up so easily. "I've used up the willpower of both my lives. No, I can't stop..." "Little San, there's something I haven't told you these past few years... I conquered that little hill a long time ago." "I wonder if my heart has fused with the Meteor Tear..." His mouth still held a blade of Blue Silver Grass. The thing was, training that way was practically torture. Tang San walked over and asked curiously, "Those uneven marks on the boulder should have been flattened by you lying on it. They shouldn't be digging into you, should they?" But Wang Feng was getting ahead of himself. Damn it! At that moment, Tang San suddenly felt that something about Brother Feng was different. The energy drifted through his entire body, all by itself... Wang Feng jumped straight off the boulder. "With this thing, even if I don't know any of the secret techniques in Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record... as long as I keep pushing past my limits through training, my body will become incredibly strong!" Tang San thought to himself. He glanced around, then noticed a familiar figure in the grove ahead, leaning against a tree trunk with a blade of Blue Silver Grass still in his mouth. "..." Wang Feng raised his head, opened his eyes, and looked at Tang San. "But Xiao San has been cultivating for years, and he only awakened with Innate Full Soul Power at the awakening ceremony..." He often got so excited reading that he tossed and turned under the covers... Then he'd toss the book into his favorites and leave it there to gather dust. "So, want to train with me today?" Wang Feng laughed aloud. His hands clamped onto the rocks along the cliff like pincers, and he kicked off, scrambling rapidly up the little hill. The next morning. Tang San had already washed up. He came running out of the village gate, carefully controlling his breathing and keeping it steady. He knew this little grove's uneven paths made running more tiring than on a normal road. After running at full intensity for ten or so minutes, his six-year-old body would be completely out of breath... By then, he'd been running for nearly an hour. For a six-year-old who'd never exercised, that was practically the limit. Wang Feng felt his consciousness growing hazy. He looked at the familiar little hill in the distance and smiled. His eyes then fell on the boulder nearby, and he froze. The main character Qin Yu's cheat was the Meteor Tear, said to be a mass of energy formed when the Goddess of Life gathered her power before dying. "Look carefully, Xiao San! Your Brother Feng never brags!" Wang Feng felt his heart thump a couple of times. In the faint glow, he could sense a surging power.
