Devour: Can you also draw entries from clone projection worlds?

You stand up, brush the dust off your hands, glance at the distant scenery, and think, "This world of 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' is quite nice; it has wine, swords, and the martial world. But ultimately, you don't belong to this world; you still have your own path to walk."

[The first clone projection has ended, and memories of the Swordsman world are flowing back...]

[Gains from this projection]: Significantly improved physical fitness (already converted into benefits for the main body), accumulated combat instincts, 4 white attributes (early to bed and early to rise, simple meals, quick footwork, sounding the wind and pinpointing location, etc.).

[Friendly Reminder: The time flow in the main world is not synchronized with the projected world. Only one hour has passed in the main world during this projection. Because the Swordsman Online world was not completed, the next clone projection will have to continue to be projected into the Swordsman Online world.]

After a long while, Wei Wen finally received all the gains from his first clone projection, including memories from the past five years. Fortunately, the emotions had all been blurred, otherwise he was afraid he would go insane.

But he closed his eyes again, quietly sensing the obvious changes happening in his body.

The feeling is hard to describe; it's like something is surging up from deep within, filling every part of your body, every muscle fiber, and deep into your bones...

It wasn't pain, but a feeling of being filled, as if some power that didn't originally belong to him had suddenly appeared in his body.

In addition to the memories, trials and tribulations of the past five years, every day spent in the world of Swordsman, every move practiced, and every drop of sweat shed have now transformed into something substantial and merged into his body in this main world.

This sensation lasted for about fifteen minutes. When the swelling subsided, Wei Wen opened his eyes again and looked down at his palms.

His fingertips trembled slightly, not from weakness, but from strength; the sudden increase in strength had not yet allowed his nerves to fully adapt.

He took a deep breath, slowly clenched his fist, the veins on his fist bulged slightly, and his knuckles made a few soft cracking sounds.

He could sense that the power of this punch was completely different from the one projected before. He needed to go to the martial arts gym to test the exact difference.

Wei Wen stood up, stretched his neck and shoulders, his cervical spine made a few cracking sounds, and he felt a slight stretching sensation in his shoulder blades. His back muscles were also adapting to the new distribution of force.

The training habits he had developed over the past five years were etched into his body's memory. Even with a different body, his posture, center of gravity, and breathing rhythm were completely different from before the projection.

After thinking it over, Wei Wen, still feeling uneasy, decided to give it a try. He stood still with his feet slightly apart and his knees slightly bent.

With your center of gravity firmly planted on the soles of your feet, it's as if a spring is being slowly compressed between your waist and hips. Power rises from the ground, passes through your ankles, knees, and hips, and is transmitted all the way to your shoulders and elbows, finally converging in your fists.

This is what I've learned from practicing horse stance, standing meditation, and swordplay every day for the past five years.

It's not some profound martial art, just the most basic power generation techniques, but if you practice the basics for five years, you'll see a difference.

Throw a punch.

With a sharp "hiss," the air itself seemed to crackle from his punch.

Wei Wen withdrew his fist, closed his eyes again to sense the force, and then a glint of light flashed in his eyes: "His punching power exceeded 900kg?!"

He was stunned.

Before the projection, his punching power was 800kg. According to the standards of the two major martial arts schools, the punching power of an average adult male is around 100kg, while trained martial arts students can reach 200-300kg, and the standard for advanced students is 500-800kg.

What does 900kg mean?

This means that he has become a quasi-martial artist!

With a single projection, in just a short time, his strength jumped directly from advanced student to quasi-martial artist.

It's important to know that many people train at a martial arts gym for two or three years and still can't reach this number.

Wei Wen took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and threw a few more punches.

Each punch weighs over 900 kg, and the force keeps increasing with each punch!

As for speed and neural response, there's no need to test them for now. Wei Wen knows that these will only improve in tandem, and it's impossible for them to stagnate.

Moreover, I have sparred with my fellow disciples many times in the past five years. Although they were all just friendly matches, my instinctive reactions when facing swords have been honed to a very high level.

He sat back on the bed and began to carefully take stock of what he had gained this time.

The most obvious improvement is in physical fitness. If punching power increases dramatically from 800kg to over 900kg, speed and nerve reaction speed will inevitably improve as well.

According to the grading standards of the two martial arts schools, his physical fitness has now reached the standard of a quasi-martial artist. He only needs to wait for the quasi-martial artist assessment every six months to become a formal martial artist!

At a normal pace, it would take an average student at least two or three years to progress from beginner to advanced level, and then to the threshold of becoming a quasi-martial artist.

He only used—no, to be precise—a tiny bit of time. Of course, in the world of Swordsman, it was nearly five years, but in the main world, only a moment had passed.

Secondly, there's his understanding of combat. Although he hadn't experienced any life-or-death battles in those five years, he had still sparred with his fellow disciples.

Although the outer disciples of the Huashan Sect are not highly skilled, they can still hone their skills through repeated swordplay.

For example, the opponent's micro-expressions before making a move, the preparatory movement of their shoulders, the location of their gaze... He used to not notice these details at all, but now he can subconsciously capture and utilize them.

More importantly, it's about mindset. Five years in the world of Swordsman Online have made him accustomed to the phrase "take it slow."

There's no need to rush, no need to push yourself, no need to show off. Just practice a little every day, make a little progress every day, and time will give you the answer.

This kind of mentality is actually the rarest thing in the main world. What he lacks is time, and he always has a kind of inexplicable sense of crisis.

As for the affixes... although the four newly drawn affixes are all white, their role in certain situations should not be underestimated.

The title of "body-refining genius" significantly increased his physical fitness and external martial arts training speed.

His "ordinary" appearance allowed him to go unnoticed and better survive.

The two white entries, "slipping away" and "listening to the wind to pinpoint location," are just okay on their own, but when put together, they already show the beginnings of a "survivalist" strategy.

Wei Wen tapped his fingers lightly on the table twice. Even if the second clone projection could only continue to travel to the world of Swordsman, it would still be worth it.

"Putting aside the rest, after the second clone projection ends, increasing the punching power to 1500kg shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Wei Wen leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and thought, "No rush, take your time. I have plenty of time."

Then, Wei Wen opened his eyes, picked up a pen, and wrote the first line in his notebook: "Find time to go to the martial arts school for a full set of tests."

Then he added, "More importantly, with the second clone projection, does that mean we don't have to hide anymore?"

Wei Wen clenched his fist tightly, and a sonic boom instantly erupted.
