Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 8 Growth
Ever since Xiao Yalu asked the black cat for advice on exercise methods, the black cat Gemma's attitude towards him has changed a lot.

In addition to morning exercises, she also required Xiao Yaluo to study writing diligently, and specially set aside the afternoon to teach him writing, while also allowing Xiao Yaluo's body to rest better.

Xiao Yalu exercises in the morning, studies characters in the afternoon, and strolls around the training ground next door in the evening. His fulfilling days make time fly by.

Five months have passed in the blink of an eye.

As the weather gradually turned cooler and the leaves began to wither, the joy of the harvest made the atmosphere in the town even more lively, and Xiao Yaluo's harvest was also huge.

He has become familiar with the breathing method of 'Knight Breathing' and is able to use it during training, which has greatly helped his training.

They also figured out the mechanism by which additional endurance takes effect.

First, the added endurance cannot be used directly as one's own endurance.

If we compare our endurance to a 500ml glass of water, and the energy loss during exercise to one milliliter of water being poured out every second.

The additional endurance is achieved by connecting a 1000 ml water bottle in parallel with a 500 ml water cup, and the two are directly proportional.

Even with additional endurance enabled, the energy loss during training is still one milliliter per second, but Xiao Yaluo's energy loss is actually only one-third of a milliliter per second.

It's like a buff that reduces stamina loss (a positive benefit).

After exercising, if you are still in an endurance-boosted state when all your physical strength is exhausted, your endurance will be restored based on the boosted endurance value, rather than your original meager zero-point endurance.

Using it at this time will give you a stamina recovery buff (a positive benefit).

Of course, regardless of whether the 'Knight's Breathing Technique' is maintained afterward, the food needed to recover physical strength will not be lacking, but for Xiao Yaluo's family, it is a trivial matter.

During this period, he gained a lot by familiarizing himself with the 'Knight Breathing Technique' and by practicing tree climbing many times.

……

As always, Little Yaro followed behind the black cat Gemma.

After leaving the castle, the black cat began circling around again. Once it had chosen a straight tree that was six meters tall, Xiao Yalu casually took off his loose coat, and Kabir, who was waiting, quickly stepped forward to catch it.

After taking off his loose coat, the originally cute blonde little guy suddenly changed his demeanor. Underneath his short body, he actually had a streamlined physique with muscles, and even his abs were faintly visible.

As his attention gradually focused, Xiao Yaluo's eyes became incredibly sharp, making him look exactly like a ferocious little leopard.

Even within exercise, there are differences between weight-bearing exercises and stretching exercises. Weight-bearing exercises can compress the spaces between bones, thus affecting height development.

Little Yaro knew this, so he deliberately avoided weight training. His muscles were developed entirely through climbing trees and the magical nourishing effects of breathing techniques.

Adjusting the rhythm of his breathing, as the strange breathing rhythm began, the muscles in his body trembled slightly at the same time.

brush!
He hugged the tree trunk and began... to slowly crawl upwards.

The black cat watched from the side with a furrowed brow.

Even after all this time, Xiao Yalu has never done it before, like the black cat demonstrated, by climbing directly up the tree.

Kabir, having already received a reward at the old castle for successfully teaching Little Yaro the 'Knight's Breathing Technique,' has now become Little Yaro's personal bodyguard.

This put even more pressure on the black cat.

A young knight taught the difficult "Knight's Breathing Technique," and Little Yaro learned it in just over half a month.

And all she taught him was how to climb a tree. Little Yaluo has been trying for almost half a year and still hasn't succeeded. Doesn't that make her seem useless?

But this matter cannot be blamed on Xiao Yaluo.

The body structures of humans and cats are too different, and black cats can use their claws to grip and hold onto tree trunks.

To achieve a similar effect, Xiao Yalu needs to be able to lift his body by gripping the tree crevice with his fingers, and his lower limbs need to be able to support his torso with just his feet.

This inevitably requires a strong foundation of strength, so he discussed it with the black cat and changed his training method, constantly using slow tree climbing to train the strength of his limbs.

Ultimately, the increase in attribute values ​​proved that he was not doing futile work.

As for whether it can be done now, he hasn't tried, and today, Xiao Yaluo has come to confirm this.

After climbing the tree once and roughly memorizing the texture of the dry bark, Xiao Yalu jumped down from the tree, turned to the black cat, and said, "Teacher Gemma, I'm ready."

The black cat impatiently flicked its tail and coldly snapped, "Then hurry up, I've been waiting for half a year!"

“Okay, Ms. Gemma.”

Xiao Yaluo didn't care about the black cat's attitude; after spending more than half a year together, he had gotten used to it.

Staring intently at the tree trunk in front of him, Xiao Yalu recalled all his training over the past six months.

The initial charge, the legs springing out, using inertia to charge vertically...

His once soft hands are now covered with hard calluses, and his delicate arms are bulging with strong muscles. At this moment, even with only two fingers gripping the bark, he can still pull his body up by his own strength.

The ground was getting farther and farther away from Yaro, but it did not affect his attention at all. He had long been used to climbing. At this time, he not only had to observe each landing point, but also had to feel the swaying of the tree trunk by touch. All of this was concentrated in a very short period of time.

brush!
No sooner said than done, Kabir had barely blinked when he saw that Little Yaro had already reached the top of the tree.

"Yaro, you did it!" The black cat meowed and jumped around under the tree.

[Cat-Shaped Fist Tree Climb, breakthrough to advanced level; this skill has reached the body's limit]

A cool autumn breeze caressed Xiao Yaluo's delicate face, her golden hair swaying in the wind. Looking at the bustling town, Xiao Yaluo sighed softly.

The new year is almost over...

[Personal Martial Arts Quest: Beginner Quest Exploration in Progress...]

The system is still stuck on the newbie quests!

……

Night falls in the hall of Ghana Castle.

Kabir respectfully reported the day's events to the imposing figure in the center of the hall.

"You mean, Xiao Yalu climbed to the top of the tree in one go today?"

"Yes, Lord Pakhz Ghana."

Pakhz Garner chuckled and shook his head. "What a mischievous monkey. But it's good that he's a little naughty; at least he's healthy."

Thinking of Xiao Yaro's strong, muscular body, Kabir nodded in agreement; he was indeed a very healthy child.

Thinking of this, Kabir suddenly realized something and quickly looked up to ask, "Lord Pakhz Ghana, young master Yaro's physical strength is now sufficient. Does he need knight training?"

"no need."

Pahez Garner waved his hand and said, "A strong body doesn't mean strong bones. The kind of physically demanding training that knights do is not suitable for anyone under ten years old!"

"Alright, Kabir, you can go back now. My unfortunate son and Nicole have both gone out recently, so you'd better take good care of little Yaro."
