Just then the system spoke,
[Why don’t you eat all 10 pills at once, host?]
Shen Yuan asked in suspicion, ‘Are you sure my body can withstand the pressure?’
The system replied confidently,
[Your physique will take care of that host, just eat them and become stronger quickly.]
Shen Yuan asked, ‘Why are you in more rush than me to make myself stronger?’
The system stayed silent and didn’t reply again, Shen Yuan also decided to trust the system, ‘Even if something went wrong, my mom will take care of that.’
He took all the pills one by one and ate them on his way back to his training area. He stood still for a second to feel the effects.
His body started getting hot from the excess energy, and he felt that he needed to release it; he hurriedly went down and started doing push-ups; Shen Yuxin noticed his weird behavior but ignored it for now and released a wisp of her pressure.
Shen Yuan felt as if 10,000 mountains were pressuring down on him, making him break out in cold sweat. But this was the kind of pressure he needed to digest all the pills.
He started doing push-ups, rapidly reaching the count of 100, and continued for a while, he slowed down as he reached a higher number when he finally reached 989 push-ups.
His breathing was rapid and all his muscles were straining themselves to their limit, he gritted his teeth as he continued his training. His body was becoming stronger at a visible rate, nearing the brink of a breakthrough.
Shen Yuxin continued releasing her pressure and increasing it bit by bit, not softening at the sight of struggling Shen Yuan at all. Huo Rong and Bing Rong were also looking closely at Shen Yuan, without making a sound as if afraid that they would disturb Shen Yuan.
After 996 push-ups, he was on the brink of collapsing, the energy from the pills wrecking inside his flesh, making his flesh stronger with each passing second.
‘Haah, Haah, just a few more. I feel that I can break through.’
He pushed himself with a single thought of progressing further, he didn’t even know why he was pushing himself this far, it might be due to his lust for power, or it might be due to his family back on earth, or maybe his bloodline and physique’s influence or something else altogether or maybe all of them combined.
He didn’t stop and just as he reached 1000 push-ups, he felt his body lighten up and the pressure became much more bearable to him.
Even the pill’s effect vanished as if they all got digested. He collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily.
“Haah…haah…haah”
He didn’t speak even after collapsing, Shen Yuxin, Huo Rong, and Bing Rong gathered around him and looked at him silently with pride and approval in their eyes. They did not expect that Shen Yuan’s will would be so strong.
“He only took around 2 hours to break through from the Flesh Training realm to Viscera Training, if he only focused on cultivation maybe he could finish the Body Forging Realm in a few weeks.”
Shen Yuxin nodded her head in agreement but didn’t comment on that, still looking at Shen Yuan as he sat down and started his breathing exercise to catch his breath.
…
After 10 minutes Shen Yuan opened his eyes and the first thing that he saw was Shen Yuxin, Huo Rong, and Bing Rong sitting at a table while chatting and drinking tea.
He stood up, dusted his clothes, and went towards them. He spoke loudly while walking, “What do you guys think? Am I not such a genius that I broke through so soon?”
Bing Rong nodded her head and replied rather enthusiastically, “You truly are one of a kind genius, Yuan’er. I have not seen any genius that can be compared to you, all other geniuses pales in comparison to you.”
Shen Yuan smiled smugly as he stood in front of them after reaching their spot, he sat down and started eating the cookies.
All 4 just sat in silence enjoying the tea and snacks, Shen Yuan asked the system what he had been wondering for a long time. ‘Hey system, what can my physique do? I haven’t felt any special effect of this physique.’
[Host needs to reach 18 years of age first before the physique stabilizes, due to it getting restricted by the transcendent laws it isn’t synced with the world yet. During this period of time host can’t have any dual cultivation or else the physique might receive a backlash and get damaged] ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Shen Yuan’s eyes widened in shock as he nearly cursed out loud after processing what the system said and asked back, ‘Wait wait wait, what the fuck do you mean by that? I thought I would freely dual cultivate with my physique but I can’t even dual cultivate for over a fucking decade??’
The system replied,
[Yes, that is correct, host. Oh and I forgot to mention but you can’t break through into the Qi Refinement realm as well due to that reason, otherwise, you might ruin your foundation.]
Shen Yuan nearly fainted due to anger as he cursed inside his mind, ‘What the fuck!! Is this physique beneficial for me or is it just there to fuck me over??’
The system replied to him,
[Host needs not worry about not getting stronger, you should first reach the peak of body refinement to see what changes happen to the Chaos Body Refinement Technique.]
Shen Yuan calmed down and began planning for his future, meanwhile, Shen Yuxin, Huo Rong, and Bing Rong noticed his abnormality but didn’t ask as Shen Yuxin knew he was hiding some secret and Huo Rong and Bing Rong didn’t ask because Shen Yuxin didn’t ask.
…
Time continued to pass, and seven months later-
Shen Yuan had reached the Tendon Transformation realm, on the brink of breaking through to the Organ Vitalization. He had grown taller and more handsome in this period of time as well. Slowly becoming more and more like a true cultivator.
He was sitting crossed legs on the ground inside the training room. Eating pills and practicing the breathing technique of the Chaos Body Refinement Technique.
