Rapidly Increasing Strength

Because Martial Warriors now held an extremely high status, many people wanted to become Martial Warriors.

This had led to all kinds of training methods emerging one after another.

Ultimate Martial Arts Hall, Thunder Dojo, and the five major nations had all developed quite a few training methods.

These training methods were only somewhat useful to trainees below the Martial Warrior level.

Martial Warriors generally improved their strength by practicing the Five Hearts Facing Heaven Method and Guidance Techniques.

Therefore, all kinds of training methods were completely public.

There were also many methods Xiao Yang could use to rapidly train himself to his limit.

What truly limited Xiao Yang was his own willpower.

Although he had the original owner's memories, pushing himself to the limit was still difficult.

It was an immense test of willpower.

That was why Xiao Yang had stopped after only one session last night.

While the nutrient solution's slow effects were part of the reason, Xiao Yang's willpower was the greater issue.

Now that he had Magical Watermelon, Xiao Yang had no excuse to rest.

He could only grit his teeth and start training.

Very quickly, he reached his limit.

Lying on the ground and gasping for breath, Xiao Yang did not even want to move a finger.

However, after resting for a while, he still forced himself to crawl over to the side and began eating the watermelon he had cut earlier.

This time, Xiao Yang did not wolf it down as urgently as he had last night.

He soon discovered that he only needed to eat half a watermelon to recover completely.

The watermelon's delicious taste also improved Xiao Yang's mood considerably.

After a mental struggle, he began training again.

In just one morning, Xiao Yang pushed himself to the limit eleven times!

By the end, he had gone a little numb.

Whenever he trained, all he wanted was to eat watermelon sooner.

After all, eating watermelon was the only time he felt happy.

And so, the day quickly passed.

During that time, Xiao Yang harvested another watermelon.

After all, he did not have much land, and watermelons took quite a while to mature.

So he tried his best not to waste any time.

He needed to cherish every minute and every second.

Every time he planted seeds, he set an eight-hour alarm.

It was not until evening that Chen Jian came to visit Xiao Yang.

After all, Xiao Yang had unusually failed to go to the martial arts hall that day.

In fact, Chen Jian had called Xiao Yang that morning to ask about him.

Still, he was somewhat worried, so he deliberately came by in the evening to see how Xiao Yang was doing.

Only after confirming that Xiao Yang was fine did Chen Jian leave.

Xiao Yang also respected Chen Jian greatly, since he could tell that Chen Jian genuinely took good care of the original owner.

However, he could not reveal the Farm Game or the watermelons for the time being, so he could only train at home.

Over the course of the day, Xiao Yang consumed eleven whole watermelons.

That meant he had pushed himself to the limit twenty-two times in a row!

And all within a single day!

It had not even been a full day!

If word got out, quite a few people might want to dissect Xiao Yang.

He was now very curious about what he had gained over the day.

The watermelons produced by the Farm Game could do more than help him recover stamina; they could also replenish his nutrition!

Xiao Yang was very curious how much his strength had increased over the day.

He remembered that when the original owner had tested himself the day before yesterday, his strength had been around 780 kilograms.

The fluctuation would not have exceeded five kilograms either way.

Xiao Yang came before the testing machine in the basement and turned it on.

He took a deep breath, twisted his waist, and threw a punch at the machine.

Bang!

803 kg—

A huge number flashed onto the display.

Seeing the number, a trace of delight flashed through Xiao Yang's eyes.

Without hesitation, he threw several more punches.

Bang!

799 kg—

Bang!

802 kg—

Bang!

803 kg—

Xiao Yang threw more than a dozen consecutive punches, and nearly every one of them measured around 800 kilograms.

In other words, in just one day, his strength had increased by around twenty kilograms!

The original owner might have needed a month to improve by that much in the past!

Yet Xiao Yang had done it in only one day!

Although he had trained more often today, it was at most equivalent to ten days of normal training.

Gaining seven or eight kilograms of strength from that would already have been quite a lot.

But he had gained twenty kilograms instead!

This showed that the watermelon's nutritional replenishment effect was also extremely good!

Otherwise, it could not possibly have increased Xiao Yang's strength by so much.

The growth of strength was related not only to the recovery of torn muscles, but also to nutritional replenishment.

At that moment, Xiao Yang stared at a plate of watermelon not far away, his eyes glowing green.

Although the process was exhausting, he really could rapidly increase his strength!

If this continued, Xiao Yang had a very good chance of reaching the Quasi-Martial Warrior standard within half a month!

He decided that over the next half month, he would train with everything he had!

More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the blink of an eye, it was June 30th.

Tomorrow was the day of the Quasi-Martial Artist Assessment.

Xiao Yang had already signed up for the Quasi-Martial Artist Assessment.

Over these past dozen days, he had consumed nearly twenty watermelons a day on average.

At first, he might have only used twelve or thirteen per day.

But as time passed, Xiao Yang became accustomed to the intensity of the training.

Later, he could even consume more than twenty watermelons a day!

He was starting to worry that the number of watermelons he harvested each day would soon not be enough for him!

After all, he still needed copper coins to buy seeds.

So from every batch of watermelons, Xiao Yang kept one to sell.

He used the money from selling it to buy watermelon seeds.

However, because his consumption was so high, he currently had fewer than 150 copper coins.

But the gains were enormous.

Xiao Yang's strength had already reached 1,050 kilograms!

Although his consumption had increased later on, as Xiao Yang's strength rose, the amount of strength he could gain after training to his limit also decreased.

After reaching this level, most Martial Warriors also began practicing the Five Hearts Facing Heaven Method.

Xiao Yang was also looking forward to the Five Hearts Facing Heaven Method.

After all, Martial Warrior was merely a term used on Earth.

The limit of one thousand kilograms was also a boundary set by humans on Earth.

In the universe, the true dividing line between an ordinary person and Apprentice Level was whether one had absorbed Cosmic Energy.

Xiao Yang wanted to see whether the character level in the game would increase after he reached Apprentice Level One.

Just as he was eating watermelon and resting, the doorbell rang.

Xiao Yang took two quick bites to finish the watermelon in his hand, then headed upstairs.

When he opened the door, he found Chen Jian standing outside.

After seeing Xiao Yang open the door, Chen Jian looked him over.

Only after confirming that Xiao Yang seemed fine did Chen Jian speak.

"I saw that you signed up for tomorrow's Quasi-Martial Artist Assessment?"

"Your strength should still be far from enough, right?"

"Why did you sign up so early?"
