One pound of meat equals one attribute point.

Chapter 2 Mutation
Su Heng's body seemed to be electrified, and he felt numb all over, with an indescribable feeling of comfort.

Then, within the next breath, Su Heng's body temperature began to rise, and his skin turned red like a cooked prawn. Sticky sweat was secreted from his forehead, and the originally loose training clothes were wet with sweat, outlining Su Heng's body curves.

Can see clearly.

Su Heng's body, which was originally slightly fat, shrunk visibly due to his rapid weight gain. His arms, legs, abdomen and chest all showed obvious, strong and very masculine muscle lines.

The sweat was evaporated by the high temperature radiating from the body, leaving a flaming shadow in the bright sunlight.

The thick tendons in his body stirred and tightened one by one, and as Su Heng took a long breath, they made a sound like a tightened longbow.

In Su Heng's own perception, the changes that took place in his body were even more astonishing. Some tiny tendons were growing, spreading like forked tree roots to muscles that he could not normally exercise, so he was able to mobilize more strength.

He is already nineteen years old this year, and logically speaking, his body will not grow any faster.

but now,
Su Heng clearly felt that his body was going against common sense and undergoing secondary development. He felt numb all over, and this rapid growth lasted for several hours.

When Su Heng opened his eyes again, the light outside had dimmed slightly, and he could even see a few thin fiery red clouds in the distant sky.

"How long have I been here?" Su Heng was surprised.

He immediately noticed the difference in his body. He had lost a large piece of fat and felt extremely relaxed. His training clothes, which had originally fitted him, had now become much looser.

In particular, when he subconsciously clenched his fists and the muscles in his arms tensed, he could clearly see the thick veins in his arms tightly twisted together like iron chains, like the sculptures of strong men in the temple, and that kind of powerful sense of strength emanated from his body.

look around.

Su Heng came to the tea table and took the porcelain cup he had just used.

He clenched his teeth and slowly exerted force with his thick fingers. There was a crisp sound from the palm of his hand and the porcelain cup exploded. Some tiny white ash fragments slowly fell along the gaps between his fingers and gathered into a small pile on the tea table.

"This kind of power..." Su Heng's pupils shrank slightly and he fell into deep thought.

Although such a porcelain cup can only be considered crude, it is very hard. Even a porcelain cup made of clay can be crushed with it, and it is no problem to smash an adult's skull with one punch. Even fierce beasts like tigers, leopards, bears and bears can be hammered to death.

Is such power really still within the mundane realm?

Su Heng opened the property panel.

In the column of martial arts, Pure Yang Gong has become the sixth level.

In addition, there is an additional realm column on the attribute panel, and the content on it is also very simple.

[Muscle and Vein Mutation: 3%]

"It's basically the same as what I thought." Su Heng touched his chin, and a complete framework had already taken shape in his mind. The sixth level of Pure Yang Gong was a completely different realm, and it even touched upon the body's mutation, or secondary development, which could stimulate power far beyond that of ordinary people.

This kind of advancement originally required some special "medicine" stimulation, but Su Heng directly relied on attribute points to cross this stage and force a breakthrough. Of course, the final effect was not much different.

only……

Su Heng was wondering if there were other people in the Great Zhou Dynasty who had reached the same level.

Moreover, what exactly is the "medicine" needed for the Pure Yang Kung? Su Heng had investigated Ning Zhibai, who was indeed a true disciple of the Pure Yang Kung and had once been a retainer in the mansion of a big shot in the county city. Otherwise, Su Heng would not have chosen to practice in the Pure Yang Kungfu Hall and spent a lot of money casually.

Even a true disciple like Ning Zhibai didn't know what "medicine guide" was, and he didn't even know the higher levels of Pure Yang Gong.

Why were these traditions cut off?

Could it be that some changes have taken place between this world?

Su Heng's will could not help but begin to dissipate, and then he smelled a strong odor of sweat from his body.

"It's getting late, let's go home first." Su Heng was obsessed with martial arts all day, which was considered by Master Su as a sign of not doing his job properly. Although he didn't take it seriously, if he went home too late, he would inevitably be scolded by the old man for a long time, which would be annoying.

Su Heng didn't think about it any more.

After leaving the training room, he washed his body in a side yard and changed back into his original clothes. When Su Heng arrived at the entrance, he found Ning Wantong rolling up her sleeves, sitting on a small wooden stool, washing vegetables in a wooden basin.

Looking up, Ning Wantong tucked the few strands of hair that had fallen around her ears behind her ears, and said to Su Heng with a smile, "Would you like to have dinner at the martial arts hall?"

"Thank you, but forget it." Su Heng shook his head and refused.

He saw that Ning Wantong's eyes were still glued to him and had not left, so he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong? Is there something dirty on my face?"

"without……"

Ning Wantong smiled gently and said openly, "I feel like you're a little different."

"What's different?" Su Heng looked at her with curiosity on his face.

At this time, the sun was setting, and Su Heng's tall and burly body was bathed in a fiery red light.

To be fair, he was not very handsome. But with thick eyebrows, big eyes, bronze skin, and slightly curled long hair, he looked very healthy and masculine. A gust of evening breeze blew, and Su Heng's black gown swayed in the wind, outlining the strong and powerful muscle lines below. "I feel a little stronger than before, and there is an indescribable fragrance on my body." Ning Wantong shook off the water droplets on her hands, looked at him carefully, and said very seriously.

……

Crunch.

The wheels rolled on the cobblestone road, and Su Heng sat in the carriage and rushed back home.

In the evening, the vendors and stall owners who were hawking along the street packed up their stalls and went home. There were fewer pedestrians, and curling smoke rose from the white brick and gray tile houses on both sides. Passing a corner and passing a house, Su Heng heard a noisy discussion.

The voice was deliberately lowered so that it could not be heard clearly, as if the person was afraid of something, afraid of disturbing something.

"Ok?"

The carriage stopped again. Su Heng opened his eyes with a puzzled look on his face. "What happened?"

After a while, the driver Li Si's doubtful voice came from outside the carriage, "Sir, it seems that another drowned body has been found."

"Another drowned body?" Su Heng frowned slightly, realizing something was wrong.

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty was not so peaceful, murders were rare. It was unusual to find two drowned bodies in just one day.

"Let's go down and take a look." Su Heng said immediately.

Walking around the crowd, Su Heng and Li Si entered the house.

The two-story house was clean and tidy, with a lush locust tree planted in the middle of the courtyard and a square well under the locust tree. The drowned body was salvaged and placed on the bamboo curtain beside the well.

"what!"

Su Heng heard a small cry from Li Si beside him.

Li Si has always been calm and steady, and rarely loses his composure like this. Su Heng couldn't help but show a concerned expression on his face.

"This man's name is Li Qi, and he's a distant relative of mine," Li Si said. "Today when we passed by Guozi Street, I saw him selling osmanthus cakes on the street, but I didn't say hello to him. But I never thought that in just half a day..."

"Are you sure you just saw him at noon today?"

Su Heng's gaze fell on the corpse, his brows furrowed, and his voice became unusually serious.

"Sure." Li Si said seriously.

"But……"

The corpse on the bamboo curtain looked like a giant, with its mouth wide open and its eyes and tongue sticking out. Its skin was pale and swollen, with obvious green corpse spots and black grid-like veins. Its internal organs began to rot, causing its abdomen to swell like a bulging ball, which looked like it could explode at any time. It was very scary.

And as time passed, the stench of corpses in the courtyard became stronger and stronger.

Su Heng didn't quite understand what specific changes would occur to the corpse after being soaked in water.

But he was very sure.

There is no way a corpse could become like this in just half a day.

Instead, it was as if some supernatural force sucked away the vitality in his body, so that after death, the body quickly rotted and collapsed, and soon it could no longer maintain its original state.

"It's exactly the same as the body found earlier. It's horrible."

"I heard this is the seventh case in recent days."

"Could it be the legendary water ghost?"

"I saw this man earlier and bought cakes from his stall, but I never thought... Oh."

The people nearby were also talking about it. It was dark, and the locust tree over the well cast a shadow like a demon with bared fangs and claws. The atmosphere was extremely cold and depressing.

"The Patrol Department is enforcing the law. All outsiders, please disperse!"

With a loud and powerful shout, the crowd dispersed.

A group of officers dressed in black robes, holding long sticks and carrying swords on their waists hurried over.

Li Si reached out and tugged at the corner of Su Heng's clothes, "Sir, it's getting late, we should go back early to avoid getting contaminated by anything unclean."

"That's fine..."

Su Heng raised his head and saw the last ray of light of the fiery red sun disappearing.

A lot of things happened today, which delayed me a lot of time. I really need to hurry back.
