High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 72 12.62 Vitality Index

It's five o'clock in the morning.

Before the first ray of light had even pierced through the thick atmosphere of the morning star, Qin Feng had already finished his meditation and woken up on time.

Instead of getting up immediately, he habitually raised his wrist, brought up the terminal, and activated the built-in mini body data testing device.

A soft blue light emanated from the terminal, sweeping across his entire body.

A few seconds later, a new line of data appeared on the screen.

Vitality Index: 11.007

A good night's sleep, combined with the continuous recovery and strengthening brought by the "Intermediate Imperial Body Forging Method," brought another slight increase to his vitality index.

"Maintaining high-efficiency practice and high-quality sleep does indeed lead to faster improvement."

Qin Feng looked at the number and silently calculated in his mind.

"My current physical attributes are still a huge disadvantage in the private domain. Once my vitality index reaches 15.0, I can make up for most of my physical shortcomings. And once I master the third defensive move, 'A Thousand Armies Surrounding', I'll be able to put up a fight against the senior students. At that time, I should be able to break into the top 10,000."

He set clear goals for himself.

"I hope I can do it this month."

Without further delay, he quickly got up, washed up, and went to the public martial arts arena in the Grade A area to begin another day of rigorous training.

Inside the vast martial arts arena, he practiced the "Intermediate Imperial Body Forging Method" again and again.

From initial awkwardness and difficulty to gradual fluency now.

His body is adapting to this extreme pressure and regeneration at an astonishing speed.

Each time I was exhausted, the immense spiritual energy of the intermediate life potion replenished my strength.
Every time muscles experience deep fatigue, a medicinal bath helps repair the damaged internal structure of the body.

[Intermediate Imperial Body Forging Technique Proficiency +1]

……

The system notification sounds became the most pleasant accompaniment to his monotonous cultivation.

His proficiency is steadily improving.

When the progress bar finally reached 10 points, he had finally pushed this profound cultivation method into the "entry" threshold.

"The speed of improvement is even faster than I expected."

Qin Feng felt the surging blood and energy within his body and understood.

This month marks the one-month anniversary of his promotion to C-level contract, and he is entitled to one-third more resources than last month.

Three doses of intermediate-level life potion and three intermediate-level restorative baths—these were the reasons he dared to push himself so recklessly.

Although the intermediate imperial body-forging method is extremely painful to cultivate and its stimulation to the body far exceeds that of the beginner level, it is precisely because of this that the improvement brought about by each "breakthrough and reconstruction" is far beyond what the beginner level can offer.

With the combination of these two factors, his growth rate not only did not regress but actually accelerated.

He did not slacken in the slightest, continuing to devote himself to this monotonous yet fulfilling cycle day after day.

My daily life is divided into several distinct parts: in the morning, extreme physical training; in the afternoon, a crushing defeat in my private domain; in the evening, more physical training; before bed, meditation.

Time flies by in this routine of life.

In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed quietly.

……

Grade A area, private bathroom.

A misty steam filled the spacious area.

Qin Feng and Shi Potian were both wearing only underwear, standing in front of the huge alloy bathtub.

Qin Feng stood in front of a mirror as tall as himself, examining the changes in himself over the past ten days.

The boy in the mirror was nearly 1.9 meters tall, with a straight and upright posture.

His muscles are strong and powerful, with smooth lines, yet he doesn't appear bulky at all; instead, he exudes an explosive beauty.

On his flat stomach, eight-pack abs were clearly defined, like a perfect piece of chocolate.

When he exerts a little force, his quadriceps muscles in his thighs show a "stretched" appearance. And this is only the external appearance.

Inside his body, his internal organs had been repeatedly tempered by spiritual energy, becoming extremely strong.

His cardiopulmonary capacity, hematopoietic function, and recovery speed have all reached a level far exceeding that of ordinary people.

"I've heard that those warriors who are qualified to become Star Wars Chapter warriors have extremely high vitality indexes and their physical bodies have reached unimaginable levels."

Qin Feng thought to himself, "I wonder how long it will take me to be able to adapt to most of the harsh environments in the universe with just my physical body. I'll take it one step at a time, steadily and practically."

"In the Dark Ages, an ordinary person would have to take countless synthetic hormones to achieve a physique like that."

Beside him, Shi Potian looked at himself and Qin Feng in the mirror and said, "Moreover, the potions of that era were all 'non-spiritual energy' products, with extremely severe side effects, depleting life potential. Unlike us now, spiritual energy potions are gentle and nourishing, with no harm whatsoever."

As he spoke, he tore open his [Intermediate Repair Bath Powder Pack] and poured the dark red powder inside into the bathtub.

The clear water was quickly dyed a blood-red color and emitted a faint herbal fragrance.

Qin Feng did the same, and then the two of them stepped into their respective bathtubs, immersing their entire bodies in the warm medicinal liquid.

Streams of pure energy rushed into their bodies through the open pores of their skin, repairing the hidden injuries and fatigue caused by days of arduous training.

What's your vitality index?

Qin Feng asked casually with his eyes closed.

"11.03."

Shi Potian answered, then asked in return, "And you?"

"12.62."

Qin Feng said.

Shi Potian's eyes snapped open.

He turned his head and looked at Qin Feng, who stood calmly beside him, his face filled with disbelief.

12.62!

In ten days, Qin Feng's vitality index reached 12.62.

He and Qin Feng started from the same point, endured the same extreme training, and had the same C-level contract resources. In ten days, he only managed to improve to 11.03.

The gap is enormous!

Shi Potian always believed that the difference between himself and Qin Feng mainly lay in their comprehension of killing techniques.

He never imagined that in the most basic body-strengthening cultivation method, which is considered to be "rewarded as long as you work hard", his progress would be so much slower than the other party's!

Just as he was in shock, something even more incomprehensible happened.

He watched helplessly as the once thick, blood-red medicinal liquid in the bathtub next to Qin Feng slowly faded in color, becoming thinner and thinner at a visible rate.

In ten minutes, the color faded by half.

Twenty minutes later, it had turned light pink.

In less than half an hour, the medicinal liquid in Qin Feng's bathtub had completely turned into colorless water.

This means that Qin Feng has completely absorbed all the spiritual energy from this entire packet of intermediate-grade restorative medicinal bath.

Qin Feng stood up from the bathtub, water droplets sliding down his well-defined muscles.

"I'm going to practice a bit more. Let's go have lunch together later."

He smiled at Shi Potian.

"it is good."

Shi Potian nodded and uttered a single word with some difficulty, "You practice for a while and wait for me. I estimate it will take another half hour."

After Qin Feng left, only Shi Potian remained in the bathroom.

He stared quietly at the still-rich, bright red liquid in his bathtub. A full half hour passed before the red color completely faded.

A full hour.
