Getting stronger and stronger starting from Marvel.

Chapter 6 Charm and Inner Strength

In the dimly lit room, Bai Ye looked at the changes on the attribute panel with delight.

Not only physique, but also strength, charm, and unused attribute points all broke through their limits in the chain reaction brought about by the physique breakthrough.

Just this afternoon, he was still considering whether he could improve his mental attributes in the three days before school started.

But in less than a day, thanks to his own efforts and a little help from the system panel, all his attributes increased by 0.1!

"But what's with this charm?" Bai Ye asked, somewhat puzzled.

It would have been perfectly reasonable to increase the strength attribute just before breaking through, but what does that have to do with charm?

Puzzled, Bai Ye turned on the light in the dark and slowly walked into the bathroom. The next second, he was stunned by the figure in the mirror.

In the mirror, Bai Ye saw a tall, handsome young man with exquisite features staring at her in surprise. Every detail, from his fair and radiant skin to his deep eyes, was impeccably perfect.

"I give up." Looking at himself in the mirror, Bai Ye sighed.

Before this, he had always been quite confident in his appearance.

How to describe his previous appearance? Let's put it this way: compared to him, Takeshi Kaneshiro was slightly inferior, and Daniel Wu was a notch below him.

Confident in his appearance, he didn't say much, but he did have some complaints about the 1.3 in the charm section of the panel.

If his charm rating is only 1.3, then what would someone with a 1.4 look like?

When he reached version 1.4, he felt relieved. Indeed, the charm of version 1.4 must be like him.

After briefly examining his appearance, Bai Ye stepped out of the bathroom. In a state of peak physical and mental condition, he carefully studied the annotations of the Gentleman's Sword and began to learn the Purple Cloud Divine Skill.

Perhaps due to the breakthrough in mental strength (1.3), Bai Ye felt that both his memory and comprehension had improved considerably, and his learning efficiency was astonishingly fast. In just two hours, he memorized the entire internal energy cultivation method of the Zixia Divine Skill, which consisted of thousands of words, without missing a single word.

I sat cross-legged on the sofa, closed my eyes slightly, and gradually cleared my mind. Then I tried to circulate my qi according to the meridian circulation map, but after sitting quietly for more than ten minutes, I didn't feel anything at all.

Bai Ye was not in a hurry, remaining calm and focused, his body completely still.

According to the annotations of the Gentleman's Sword, a peerless genius can generate a trace of true qi in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, while a person with outstanding talent takes the time it takes to burn an incense stick, a person with excellent talent takes two hours, a mediocre person takes half a day, and a good-for-nothing takes one to five days. The difference brought about by talent is huge.

The fact that he felt nothing after more than ten minutes could only mean that his talent was not that of a so-called peerless genius.

During the meditation while silently reciting the mantra, after thirty-five minutes, a small stream of energy finally rose from the Tanzhong acupoint on the meridian chart.

Sensing the difference, Bai Ye calmed his mind and slowly guided the flow of energy through every meridian in his body, finally storing it in his dantian.

"So, I guess I'm exceptionally talented," Bai Ye thought to himself, opening his eyes to find a new notification appearing in the description section.

You completed an internal energy transfer operation that lasted 35 minutes and 21 seconds, generating a wisp of Purple Cloud True Qi within your body.

"There's no indication of any increase in physical strength, which means that cultivating internal energy doesn't really improve one's physical constitution?" Bai Ye wondered, recalling the martial arts in "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer," where people who lost their internal energy were indeed similar to ordinary people.

But he was not discouraged, because in Yue Buqun's annotations, in addition to prolonging life, internal energy could also replenish physical strength. As long as there was enough internal energy, it was not a problem to train continuously for three days and three nights.

He continued to calm his mind and circulate his internal energy, gradually strengthening it. Then, every half hour or so, he was able to generate a trace of internal energy within his body.

As the long night passed and the white night continued to circulate, by dawn, the true energy within his body, which had only a wisp, had increased twentyfold in quantity, reaching the level of two wisps.

As he slowly finished his practice, the faint purple aura that had appeared on his face during the exercise quietly faded away, and his eyes slowly opened, revealing a bright and spirited expression.

Whether it was due to his internal energy or not, he didn't feel tired at all after staying up all night, and his energy remained high.

After stretching his stiff body a little, Bai Ye took some food from the refrigerator and swallowed it whole. After tidying up briefly, he prepared to head out to the gym.

Description section:

You completed a run of 1824 meters at an average pace of 3 minutes and 21 seconds per kilometer, repeating it 8321 times. Your body suffered 0.05% long-term damage, which can be recovered on its own when your physical fitness reaches 1.5.

Repeat 412 times to increase maximum strength by 0.1.

Repeat 213 times to increase maximum constitution by 0.1.

Repeating this 1742 times will increase your maximum mental strength by 0.1.

……

Looking at the numbers on the label, Bai Ye, who was only slightly out of breath, suddenly brightened up.

This data shows that the pace is almost a minute faster than yesterday, which is a remarkable improvement. My hard work has indeed paid off. However, with the improvement in physical fitness, the number of repetitions required to increase the pace by another 0.1 has more than doubled.

Feeling satisfied with the improved physical condition, Bai Ye went straight into the gym and found Smith.

"Are you really Bai Ye? Are you sure you're not his twin brother?" Smith looked at the radiant and handsome young man in front of him, comparing him to the gaunt appearance of the other man yesterday evening, and wondered if he was hallucinating.

Not only did he look so energetic, but looking at Bai Ye at this moment, Smith sincerely recommended, "Although I don't know what your purpose is in working out, you don't need to push yourself so hard. With your face, I guarantee that even if you have absolutely no acting skills, you can still have a great career in the film and television industry."

"Coach, you're talking too much. I just want to train right now!" Bai Ye emphasized, feeling dissatisfied. This guy looked all muscle, but he was a chatterbox, always saying things that were affecting him.

"OK, since there's nothing wrong with your body, let's begin today's training. What do you want to practice first?" Smith asked, shrugging.

"Let's start with bodyweight squats," Bai Ye said, then took off his shoes and walked onto the yoga mat. After a simple warm-up, he placed his hands flat and began squatting.

Five minutes later, Smith rubbed his eyes and looked at Bai Ye, who was struggling to squat: "What's going on? You've almost done 400 squats already. Yesterday, you were in so much pain after doing just over 200."

Looking at the record-breaking White Night, Smith was somewhat doubtful of life, but he was even more suspicious that the young man's exhaustion yesterday might have been an act.
