Getting stronger and stronger starting from Marvel.

Chapter 14 Cultivating Both Inner and Outer Strength

Late at night, the quiet New York Police Department was awakened by an emergency call, and a large number of officers drove towards the bank where the incident occurred.

Because the bank where the incident occurred was not far from the police station, the entire process, from receiving the call to arriving at the station, took only about ten minutes.

Chief George, dressed in police uniform, arrived shortly after and looked at the officers who had cordoned off the scene: "What's the situation inside?"

"Reporting to the chief, the entire gang that detonated the explosives has been apprehended, but the situation at the scene is somewhat strange." One of the officers had a slightly odd expression on his face.

Upon hearing that the entire criminal gang had been apprehended, George's expression relaxed slightly, and he then asked, "Tell me the details."

"According to the confessions of those criminal gangs, during the robbery of the bank vault, another person appeared, not only taking all the cash and documents they had stolen, but also shooting through the ankles of the bombers, and then driving away," the officer next to him reported.

"You mean, although the gang that made the bomb was caught, the money in the bank vault was still stolen by another supervillain?" George's face was somewhat grim.

The thought of the newspapers later filled with reports about the police's dereliction of duty gave him a headache. It was indeed asking too much of ordinary police officers to deal with such a super criminal.

Meanwhile, Bai Ye, whose body had recovered thanks to improved physical condition, sped home in just over half an hour.

After a busy night, it's already 1 a.m., but the results have been remarkable.

In terms of funds, they obtained stolen money worth over one million, and in terms of strength, they understood the characteristics of the attributes to be used.

If it weren't for what happened today, he might have kept saving it up until a long time later when he would finally use the 0.1 attribute to try it out, wasting a lot of time in the process.

After running for more than 20 kilometers, even Bai Ye was a little tired. He simply took off his soaked clothes, took a couple of breaths, and then sat cross-legged on the ground to start increasing the Purple Cloud True Qi inside his dantian.

In less than ten minutes, Bai Ye condensed a wisp of Purple Cloud True Qi, which was more than 200% faster than when his initial physique was only 1.2. Clearly, the physique stat is indeed linked to talent.

Furthermore, this talent was not even mentioned in the annotations of the Gentleman Sword on the Purple Cloud Divine Skill, because his talent and cultivation speed had already surpassed those of all previous practitioners of the Purple Cloud Divine Skill.

After a brief period of cultivation and confirming the improvement in his talent, Bai Ye withdrew from his cultivation posture and began to train, intending to break through to the next level of strength and spirit that very night.

In complete darkness, Bai Ye, expressionless, carried tables and chairs while soaking in diluted sulfuric acid, performing weight training.

Today's encounter with the robbery gang and Daredevil really got to him. It seems that his long period of peaceful life has made him forget that this is the dangerous Marvel world.

In Marvel, if you're an ordinary person, you might encounter supervillains bullying you, while if you're a bad guy, you might clash with a multitude of superheroes.

Here, only power can calm his mind; only by being strong enough to make good people fear you turning bad and bad people fear you turning good can he find peace.

When you become so powerful that no one can rival you, you'll find that all around you are smiling faces that fawn over you.

And so, in the silent training, the whole night quietly passed.

When the sunlight streamed through the window into the room the next day, Baiye's panel attributes had already subtly changed.

Name: Bai Ye

Lifespan: 18/150

Strength: 1.5+0.2

Physical condition: 1.4+

Spirit: 1.5+

Charisma: 1.4+

Attribute points to be used: 0.3

Note: You have completed a total of 1642 weighted push-ups, your mental attribute +0.1

You completed a total of 1643 weighted squats, increasing your strength attribute by 0.1.

You equipped 0.2 attribute points to Strength, resulting in an actual Strength of 1.5. With an additional 0.2 Strength points equipped, your displayed Strength is 1.7.

……

Bai Ye silently got up, gently clenched his fist. With a base strength of 1.5 and 0.2 unused attribute points, his strength far exceeded his constitution attribute.

In daily life, it's fine, but in a fight, my body will still break down due to excessive force, just like when I fought Daredevil before.

Not only physical constitution, but also mental strength may lead to imperfect control of the body during combat, or physical speed may exceed reaction speed. Only when all three are developed in a balanced way can the optimal strategy be achieved.

"Should I add points to my Constitution attribute?" Bai Ye hesitated for a moment, after all, the attribute points he wanted to use were too precious, and adding points rashly might be a waste.

After much hesitation, Bai Ye temporarily abandoned the idea of ​​adding more food and took out some food from the refrigerator to start chewing.

Ten minutes later, after finishing breakfast, Bai Ye poured a little sulfuric acid from a glass bottle into a glass filled with water, stirring constantly as she poured.

When he felt it was about time, Bai Ye grabbed the diluted sulfuric acid in front of him and poured it into his mouth without hesitation.

As the diluted sulfuric acid entered my mouth, a faint sour taste filled my mouth, and the warm liquid was swallowed into my stomach.

After finishing the drink, Bai Ye smacked his lips to savor the aftertaste. It had a faint sweetness and a slightly oily feel.

Yes, in Bai Ye's understanding, swallowing sulfuric acid whole can be considered a combination of internal and external cultivation.

After drinking the diluted sulfuric acid in one gulp, he got up and prepared to head towards the school.

He had originally planned to skip school yesterday, but since he robbed a bank robber last night and then beat up Daredevil, he had to make a quick appearance to seem innocent.

They walked in silence. Compared to before, Bai Ye, feeling guilty, dared not run at full speed this time.

With his current strength attribute of 1.7, his running speed would definitely make passersby mistake him for a mutant, so he deliberately got up very early and slowly walked towards the school while suppressing his speed.

However, compared to before, today, with his speed reduced, all sorts of things have come his way.

"Hello, what can I do for you?" Bai Ye asked with a smile, looking at the woman in front of him, but inwardly he became wary, suspecting that something was amiss.

Otherwise, why didn't this guy come knocking on his door before, but instead waited until he committed a crime before blocking his way?

The girl looked up at Bai Ye's face, and two blushes immediately appeared on her cheeks. She said in an almost murmured voice, "My name is Alice, and I...I want to be friends with you."

Bai Ye: ...Huh?

Bai Ye stared speechlessly at the woman in front of him. He had thought there was some kind of trap, but it turned out she was just lusting after his body.

Looking at the girl in front of him, whose charm seemed to be only 1.1, Bai Ye, who didn't feel love at first sight, politely declined, saying, "I'm sorry, I have a girlfriend, and she doesn't want me to have too much contact with other women."

After sending the dejected girl away, Bai Ye realized that he was indeed a bit too handsome. On his way to school, he had been stopped five or six times, and the people who stopped him were both men and women.
