Getting stronger and stronger starting from Marvel.

Chapter 24 Severed Meridians? I did it on purpose!

When Bai Ye arrived at the gym, Smith had already been waiting there for a long time. After all, Bai Ye's face had been all over the New York headlines that morning, so it was impossible not to notice him.

Looking at Bai Ye, Smith had a complicated expression. Yesterday he was looking forward to what surprises Bai Ye would bring him today, but today he had pulled off such a big stunt.

"Let's start training." Bai Ye didn't waste any words and rolled up his sleeves to get ready to start training, but was interrupted by Smith.

"Bai, our boss knows about your situation and is ready to talk to you," Smith whispered.

"Your boss?" Bai Ye paused, looking at Smith.

"Yes, it's the owner of this gym. He found out you work out here and wanted to chat with you tonight, so he asked me to ask if you're free."

"What are you going to talk about?"

"We're looking for someone with such a good image to be the club's spokesperson. The endorsement fee starts at tens of millions, but we can discuss the exact amount," Smith said.

"What if I don't want to see him?" Bai Ye asked directly.

"Our boss also said that if you don't want to, we can just let it go. At the same time, he wants to be friends with you, so he's offered to refund the money you deposited at our gym. You can work out here for free 24 hours a day if you want."

"Furthermore, since this club in New York was built many years ago, it has some old-fashioned equipment. To meet your needs, we can ship the latest equipment over tomorrow. If you require it, we can even pay to have equipment custom-made to suit your abilities."

"You're quite generous." Bai Ye's lips curled up. Since the other party was so understanding, he felt a little embarrassed to refuse.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Ye looked at Smith and said, "Then tell your boss that I don't have time this month, but I will visit him in person next month. There is a big deal worth over a hundred billion to discuss with him then."

"A hundred billion?" Smith exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, you'll see when the time comes. Let's start training now. This time, let's increase the barbell to one ton. I'll start with a set of squats," Bai Ye instructed. Today, he increased his physique by 0.2, which is enough to keep up with his strength. He also doesn't have to worry about overtraining and injuring himself.

"One ton? But the barbells here can only be increased to a maximum of 260 kilograms," Smith said, sounding troubled.

"It's okay, I'll just stack the four together and take them," Bai Ye said, waving his hand dismissively.

But he soon discovered that this was impossible, because after adding weight plates to the barbell, he could only hold one barbell with one hand.

Even if he were strong enough, he could only grab two bars at most with his hands, and at most carry one more behind his neck. The fitness equipment used by ordinary humans is no longer enough for him.

Left with no other choice, Bai Ye could only reduce the intensity of his training to 780 kilograms for three bars. However, as the amount of training decreased, he found that with this level of training, he could not even break a sweat, let alone feel tired.

As his physical attributes improved, his stamina recovery speed also increased. Even though he was carrying a nearly ton of weight while doing squats, and the tiles under his feet were almost crushed by his feet, he still did a thousand squats in a row without his face turning red.

Clearly, the recovery of physical strength has exceeded the expenditure during training.

"If Magneto were here, he could increase the strength of the lever in my hand," Bai Ye thought to himself, feeling a pang of regret.

After so many days of training, he also discovered that, with the same intensity, the training effect was almost doubled when the body reached its limit.

Unfortunately, as attribute points increase, reaching the limit through forging becomes extremely difficult.

Left with no other option, Bai Ye could only do squats while asking, "Do you have sulfuric acid here?"

"sulfuric acid?"

"Forget it, I'll bring it myself tomorrow." Bai Ye shook his head and rejected the idea. He should be able to try taking a bath with sulfuric acid with a purity of over 70% now.

'But the school is supposed to be visiting Osborn today, Peter Parker must have been bitten by a spider by now,' he thought to himself.

Then another idea popped into his head, and he looked at Smith and ordered, "Go get a barbell without any plates, and then use it to hit me."

"White, you mean, whip you with a barbell?" Smith asked with a strange look on his face.

"That's right, I want to train my resilience. Don't worry, I won't get hurt."

"Who's worried about you? I'm worried about exhausting myself," Smith thought to himself, then picked up a barbell without plates and swung it across Bai Ye's back with all his might.

"Thump!"

As Smith struck with all his might, the steel rod in his hand felt like it was hitting a rubber wheel, making his right hand slightly numb.

Bai Ye, who was attacked, felt a slight stinging pain in his back. From Smith's perspective, his fair skin appeared slightly red, but otherwise, there was no change.

"Did you use too much force? It feels a bit too light; I don't feel any vibration or impact to my internal organs."

While asking questions, Bai Ye opened the instructions and found that it was indeed very useful. As long as he took another 5000 blows, his physique would improve by 0.1.

"I absolutely gave it my all," Smith said earnestly, shaking his slightly numb right hand.

"How about this, instead of hitting my back, just hit the back of my head. I think that would be more effective," Bai Ye said.

One dared to speak, the other dared to act. Not long after they finished speaking, Bai Ye, who was doing squats, was hit on the back of the head by Smith.

Bai Ye gasped in pain, as if he heard his bones cracking. His head was ringing. Turning back to see Smith about to swing the bat again, Bai Ye quickly said, "Let's put the training intensity aside for now. Let's hit his back first. It seems your head is still a bit fragile."

"Oh." Smith obediently aimed at Bai Ye's back again and lashed out with all his might.

However, his physical strength was not as good as Bai Ye's. After only a few dozen blows, his arms started to go numb, and he had to sit down and rest, watching Bai Ye train alone.

Bai Ye quickly found a new way to train himself: disrupting the circulation of internal energy in his body and breaking the original path, which can be called severing his meridians.

Feeling the internal energy flowing freely within his body, bringing a needle-like pain, Bai Ye revealed a satisfied smile.
