Destroying the apocalypse from infancy

"Hunting? What's that?"

Looking at the requirements given in the advanced path, Yu Xiu couldn't help but frown.

Fifty times of efficient energy absorption is easy to understand; he just needs to maintain sufficient sunlight every day.

But after completing ten hunts, Yu Xiu was a little confused.

Just as he was pondering this,

Yu Xiu suddenly realized that his body had become hot, as if his internal temperature was rising rapidly.

His originally fair skin now had a faint pinkish hue.

It looks like a lobster about to be cooked, or it looks like it's experiencing some kind of allergic reaction.

An even larger warm current quietly emerged, and then, without warning, it seeped into his skin, muscles, and even deep into his bones.

An intense tingling and itching sensation arose instantly, accompanied by an indescribable pain.

Feeling the changes in his body, Yu Xiu couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

immediately.

He immediately realized that his body was undergoing a second transformation!

Yu Xiu quickly focused his attention, clenched his teeth, and tried his best to endure the pain and itching inside his body.

Based on his experience, this transformation will not take too long.

as predicted.

After about two or three minutes, the physical discomfort began to gradually disappear, replaced by a feeling of fullness brought to Yu Xiu by powerful energy.

"call……"

Yu Xiu breathed a long sigh of relief.

He lifted his shirt and looked down, only to see that his stomach was completely flat, with no excess fat and the outline of muscles clearly visible.

This is the kind of thin skin that many girls love. If Yu Xiu were to post a selfie video on Douyin now, he would probably receive dozens of private messages.

"The changes in my physical appearance are so obvious, I wonder how much I've improved in detail."

Yu Xiu withdrew his gaze and murmured softly.

He thought for a moment, then got up and returned to the track to prepare for a simple test.

The moment he pressed the timer on his watch, Yu Xiu exerted force with both legs, instantly leaping two or three meters away, launching himself into the air.

After his talent level was upgraded, he felt as if he had inexhaustible energy within him and urgently needed to release it.

Therefore, Yu Xiu did not hold back at all and unleashed his full power at this stage.

When the 1,000-meter race was over, the time on the watch was abruptly stopped at two minutes and eighteen seconds.

Compared to before, Yu Xiu was almost a minute faster.

But this one minute is not simple.

It's worth noting that the current world record for the 1,000-meter dash is only two minutes and eleven seconds.

In other words, Yu Xiu's speed is already infinitely close to the limit of ordinary humans!

"To grow to this extent in just one week, and speed is only one aspect of the change..."

Yu Xiu's throat bobbed, and a flash of astonishment crossed his eyes.

He then rested for a few minutes.

Once his breathing had stabilized, Yu Xiu turned and walked to the rows of old locust trees planted around the playground.

In the previous advancement path of the Eternal Star Physique, we mentioned muscle strength, bone density, and so on.

This aroused Yu Xiu's curiosity.

He wanted to see just how much power he currently possessed.

A gentle breeze rustled through the leaves.

Yu Xiu slightly raised his head and looked at the thick old tree, which was at least fifty or sixty years old.

The lush branches cast large shadows, and the rough bark was covered with crisscrossing patterns.

Yu Xiu took a deep breath and then slowly raised his right arm.

Gradually close your five fingers until you clench them into a fist.

boom!

Yu Xiu narrowed his eyes and threw a powerful punch.

The fist landed on the tree trunk with a dull thud.

A few yellowed leaves drifted down from above, but the old tree in front of me remained unmoved, as if it hadn't even swayed.

However, when Yu Xiu withdrew his fist and looked again...

Where the fist had landed, a clear fist imprint had appeared!

The fist imprint was less than five millimeters deep, but Yu Xiu's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

"How much power would that take? Even a boxing champion might not be able to do that!"

Yu Xiu couldn't help but whisper.

He had never tested his strength before, but he felt that many things had become much lighter in his daily life, and he even accidentally crushed several cups.

Yu Xiu was certain that his strength was gradually increasing, but he really did not expect that he had grown to this extent without realizing it.

Moreover, when Yu Xiu punched the tree with all his might, he suffered almost no damage.

There was only a small scratch on the skin near the knuckles, and not even a few drops of blood were drawn.

With this level of physical strength, Yu Xiu is clearly an absolute top-tier existence among ordinary people.

The physical test next month will pose no challenge to him at all.

If Yu Xiu wanted to, he could get a perfect score without any effort.

This inevitably reminded him of the issues he had discussed with Ma Ping and others before.

What should Yu Xiu do after graduation?

He's already approaching the limits of human potential, and who knows how much he'll grow in a few months.

Yu Xiu is only twenty-two years old this year, yet he possesses this power. If he were to follow the usual path and live the life of an ordinary person in the future…

He felt he would never accept this.

"Let's set a small goal first: to push our physical limits as much as possible and see how far we can go in the future."

Yu Xiu looked at his palm and murmured softly.

After these few days of embryonic changes, he has come to love the feeling of gradual improvement.

He could feel almost every moment that his level of life was constantly rising.

This feeling is really easy and addictive.

As for his need to earn money to support his family after graduation...

Once Yu Xiu grows to the point where he can devour stars, the wealth, career, and social status that countless people pursue throughout their lives...

What do these things mean to him?

Thinking this, Yu Xiu's eyes gradually calmed down.

Having clarified his future goals, he no longer felt lost about the future.

Yu Xiu stared intently ahead, quietly unfolding his personal panel.

Name: Yu Xiu

Age: 22

[Race: ████]

[Development Stage: Embryonic Period]

[Talents: Intermediate-level Physique, Beginner-level Digestion, Beginner-level Perception]

Current growth rate: 0.068%

【…】

Looking at the information on the panel, Yu Xiu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Of the three talents he has unlocked so far, the one that is easiest to upgrade and advance is obviously the superhuman perception.

He can meet the requirements for advancement after he gets another night's sleep.

The most difficult to advance to is black hole-level digestion.

Yu Xiu has yet to find food that meets the standards for low-quality eating.

Besides, he had no clue about completing the hunt mentioned in the advancement path of the Eternal Star Physique.

"What exactly does 'hunting' mean? It can't be that I'm supposed to go find someone to kill, can it?"

Yu Xiu stroked his chin, lost in thought.

He's not the kind of psychologically twisted psychopath who would kill people on a whim.

Yu Xiu planned to find some small animals to conduct experiments after returning home. It would be best if the conditions could be met, but it wouldn't matter if they couldn't.

Anyway, completing fifty efficient energy absorptions will also upgrade his talent.

As long as the weather stays sunny, it will only take him about half a month.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiu withdrew his gaze and turned to walk out of the playground.

He ate a meal at the cafeteria and then returned to his dormitory.

Only Ma Ping and Zhou Hua were in the dormitory. Liu Jianyang was still in the library and usually wouldn't be back until after 9 p.m.

As soon as Yu Xiu pushed open the door to room 502, he heard a gasp of surprise.

"Holy crap, that's awesome!"

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Ma Ping sitting excitedly in front of the computer.

Zhou Hua stood behind him, holding a bag of Lay's, his face also full of excitement.

"What are you two looking at?"

Seeing the two of them like this, Yu Xiu couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Old Yu, come quick! Our university actually has a hidden martial arts master!"

Ma Ping waved to him, while simultaneously turning the laptop screen towards Yu Xiu.

The screen displayed Ma Ping's QQ space, with the focus being a post he made on the campus confession wall.

Yu Xiu glanced at it quickly, and his expression immediately turned strange.

The content of this post is very simple, roughly meaning:

"Shocking! A master is actually on campus! Friends, your chance to become his apprentice has arrived!!!"

Below a series of exclamation marks is a high-resolution image taken with a mobile phone.

There's only one old locust tree in the picture, and on the trunk of this locust tree...

There is a clear fist mark.
