Although he now possessed the Game Upgrade System and his talent had seen a significant boost, Luo Feng did not slack off in the slightest; instead, his desire for greater power grew even more intense.

He was impatient to become a martial artist, to head out into the wilderness to slay monsters, and to experience for himself just how miraculous this Game Upgrade System truly was.

Following this, Luo Feng simply loosened up his body and began his physical training within his cramped room.

Due to the limited conditions, he could only perform basic training exercises.

First came weighted push-ups to work the muscles in his arms.

Next were weighted squats to train the strength in his legs.

Finally, he did weighted planks to build core strength in his waist and abdomen.

Time slipped away amidst the shedding of sweat, and over an hour passed.

Clang-- clang-- clang--

The tolling of a bell from outside the hall drifted leisurely into the room.

The wall clock chimed five times crisply; it was already five in the afternoon.

"Mom and Dad will be back soon, and it'll be time to eat. I'll train for another half hour."

Luo Feng was immersed in his cultivation, finding great joy in it.

In the past, if he had undergone such high-intensity training for over an hour, he would have been exhausted like a dog long ago.

But today, after training for more than an hour, Luo Feng felt as though he had only just finished warming up; there was endless power surging within his body, and he felt incredibly comfortable.

"Is this the change brought about by the Azure Dragon Bloodline?

Even at just 0.07 percent, the effect is already this obvious.

If it were ten percent, or even one hundred percent of the Azure Dragon Bloodline, how terrifying would the results be?"

Luo Feng was shocked in his heart; he couldn't even imagine what kind of physical constitution that would entail.

Half an hour flashed by during Luo Feng's focused training.

"597, 598, 599..."

Luo Feng was concentrating fully on performing one-handed push-ups when, at that moment.

"Xiaofeng, come out for dinner."

Outside the room, Gong Xinlan's affectionate voice called out.

The whole family knew that Luo Feng was approaching his college entrance exams, so they subconsciously assumed he was diligently reviewing in his room and would not easily disturb him unless it was something important.

"Alright, Mom, I'm coming out now."

Luo Feng finished a full 600 one-handed push-ups in one breath, then slammed his hand against the floor, using the powerful rebound force to spring directly to his feet.

"Whew, that feels good."

Luo Feng felt the power surging through his body and let out a long breath.

During the meal, the family sat together, eating in harmony.

A warm atmosphere permeated the small room, filled with the essence of home.

After dinner, his parents took his younger brother downstairs for a walk, enjoying this rare moment of leisure.

As for Luo Feng, he turned and headed out to work as a tutor.

In truth, the current Luo Feng did not want to continue working part-time as a tutor; after all, at only 100 yuan an hour, it wasn't very cost-effective in terms of returns.

However, he had already given his word to others, and Luo Feng was not the type of person to break a promise just because he had encountered a "miracle."

Moreover, he could also use his spare time during the tutoring sessions to perform self-training.

What's more, this tutoring job was almost finished anyway.

Luo Feng moved like an agile cheetah, darting quickly through the streets and alleys.

He was pleasantly surprised to discover that ever since his body contained the Azure Dragon Bloodline, his overall physical coordination had become much better.

An hour later, the tutoring work was successfully completed.

"I'll go to the martial arts hall to see how much my strength has improved over the last half month."

Luo Feng's heart was filled with anticipation. He clearly remembered that the last time he tested his punch force, his strongest strike had been 801 kilograms.

Ever since reaching the rank of senior student, he had deeply realized that the stronger one became, the harder it was to improve.

Ten minutes later.

"Beep!"

At the main entrance of the martial arts hall, Luo Feng took out his student ID and swiped it, successfully entering the Limit Martial Arts Hall.

"Senior brother!"

"Senior brother Luo Feng!"

On the path inside the Limit Martial Arts Hall, students kept greeting Luo Feng enthusiastically.

Luo Feng did not stop, quickly making his way to the third floor, which was accessible only to advanced students; there were significantly fewer people here compared to the floors below.

"Madman."

"Madman, you're here."

Luo Feng's arrival prompted these advanced students to greet him warmly one after another.

After all, Luo Feng had become an advanced student at only 18 years old, and his combat power was astonishing.

Just a few days ago, he had taken on three advanced students single-handedly and emerged victorious thanks to his outstanding strength.

It could be said that in everyone's eyes, Luo Feng was almost certain to become a martial artist in the future, so naturally, everyone was willing to be on good terms with him.

"Brother Wang, Sister Liu, Brother Yang..."

Luo Feng also responded to everyone with a smile and polite demeanor.

Immediately, he walked straight toward the "punch strength tester" in the corner of the training hall.

In the corner of the training hall, two "punch strength testers" were placed side by side.

He arrived in front of the punch strength tester.

"Inhale, exhale!"

Luo Feng took a slow, deep breath, allowing his body and mind to relax completely.

In an instant, his gaze suddenly sharpened, and his entire being seemed like an awakened dragon, suddenly erupting with an astonishing aura.

His spine acted like a taut bowstring, storing power in an instant, and as his feet pushed off with explosive force, Luo Feng's right fist shot out like a cannonball, carving a perfect arc with a fierce momentum—

"Bang!" With a loud thud, the punch target shook violently under the impact of this powerful force.

Immediately, the screen of the punch strength tester clearly displayed the number—"859kg".

"Hmm? I didn't expect such a large increase."

Luo Feng felt a surge of joy in his heart, suddenly recalling that in the original story, his first test seemed to be only 809kg, but now it had actually reached 859kg, a full 50 kilograms higher.

Do not underestimate these 50 kilograms; one must know this was the result of only half a month of training.

"Is this the power of the Dragonblood Warrior bloodline?"

Luo Feng was secretly astonished.

He knew that the Dragonblood Warrior bloodline did not directly increase his strength; rather, it required years of persistent, unremitting exercise to slowly stimulate the power contained within it.

In just half a month, it had brought him a 50kg increase in punch strength, which was already quite impressive. Luo Feng believed that as time went on, its effects would only become more apparent.

"Wow, Madman, this is outrageous. You actually hit 859kg directly. I remember it was only 801kg half a month ago. That's an increase of over 50 kilograms in one go. At this rate of improvement, wouldn't you reach the quasi-martial artist level in another half month?

Tsk tsk, an 18-year-old quasi-martial artist—I'm afraid the Limit Martial Arts Hall would even extend an invitation in advance. I'm envious, jealous, and hateful."

A burly man over 1.9 meters tall with a lean build shouted exaggeratedly.

There was a hideous scar on the burly man's face, adding a touch of unruliness and heroism to him.

"Brother Yang."

Luo Feng was brought back to his senses by this shout.

"Compared to Brother Yang, I'm still quite far off. Brother Yang, could you please help me turn on the 'speed tester'?"

The man Luo Feng addressed as Brother Yang was named Yang Wu, and he had a very good relationship with Luo Feng.

Among the advanced students at the Limit Martial Arts Hall, his strength was also ranked in the top three.

His punch strength had long since broken through 900kg; he was only slightly lacking in speed, otherwise, he would have already successfully passed the "quasi-martial artist assessment."

"You want to test your speed? You got it."

Yang Wu responded with a smile, strode over to the track on the side, and skillfully turned on the speed tester.

"Click!"

The speed tester was successfully turned on.

"Hoo, hoo."

Luo Feng adjusted his breathing and stood steadily on the track.

Then, he pushed off with his legs, exerting force suddenly!

Whoosh!

Almost in the blink of an eye, Luo Feng accelerated to his limit.

Accompanied by a gust of wind, with a swoosh, Luo Feng charged through the speed tester zone like a bolt of lightning.

Afterward, Luo Feng naturally slowed down and came to a gradual stop.

"How much?"

Luo Feng walked toward the speed tester with a smile.

"Tsk tsk, Madman, I'm truly envious of your speed!"

Brother Yang looked at the numbers displayed on the speed tester screen with a face full of astonishment, unable to help but exclaim in admiration.

"See for yourself."

Luo Feng stepped forward and took a look; the screen clearly displayed the number—"25.8m/s".

"As expected, my speed has increased as well."

Luo Feng thought to himself.

Speed had always been Luo Feng's strong suit, and now that his strength had increased, his speed had risen accordingly; all of this was well within Luo Feng's expectations.
