Chapter 8: In the sulfuric acid pool, it's like taking a bath.

In the evening, Bai Ye stood in front of his small house, where a tightly wrapped package was placed at the door.

He bent down to pick up the package, but just before he was about to go inside, someone called out to him from behind.

"Hello, did you order home delivery?" The deliveryman asked Bai Ye as he looked at the address on the delivery slip and was about to enter the house.

Seeing that his package had arrived, Bai Ye turned around and nodded, saying, "That's right, it's the delivery I ordered. The last four digits of the phone number are ****."

The deliveryman paused for a few seconds when he saw Bai Ye turn around, then somewhat apologetically pulled out the delivery slip and said, "Please sign for this. Also, you ordered quite a lot of things; do you need me to help you carry them inside?"

Bai Ye casually signed his name and shook his head, saying, "No need, just leave it here. I'll carry it in myself."

"Oh, oh." The deliveryman nodded, struggled to unload the large package from the truck, placed it in front of Bai Ye, and then looked in surprise at the seemingly thin but beautiful young man who easily picked up the package weighing several hundred pounds with one hand and walked quickly into the house.

Upon entering the house, Bai Ye eagerly opened the package, which contained a custom-made glass bathtub measuring 160 cm in length and 70 cm in width, as well as a 50 cm long glass rod.

As for the package that was initially placed at the front door, it contained 10 liters of 98% pure sulfuric acid in a glass container.

Because buying through official channels is too troublesome, he bought this from the dark web.

Under the light, these glass artifacts sparkled and looked exquisite.

Full of anticipation, Bai Ye carried the custom-made glass bathtub into the bathroom. Then, she put on protective clothing, took out several buckets of purified water purchased from the Walmart supermarket next door, and poured them directly into the glass bathtub.

He then unscrewed the glass cap of the concentrated sulfuric acid and slowly poured it into the inner wall of the glass bathtub.

During the dilution process, as he watched the concentrated sulfuric acid and pure water mix together, he continuously stirred the water gently with a glass rod, releasing heat continuously.

Watching the colorless and odorless sulfuric acid flow into the glass bathtub, and when he felt it was about time, looking at the slightly warm, diluted sulfuric acid bath inside, Bai Ye took off his gloves and gently reached in.

Feeling the slightly warm water, Bai Ye removed all his clothes except for the hood, then lay down slowly in it with a blank expression, leaving only his head exposed, savoring the slight corrosive effect of the ultra-diluted sulfuric acid on his body.

As long as you don't give up, there are always more solutions than problems. Since so-called training is a process of muscle damage and repair, why not just go all the way and give the skin some strength?

At this moment, his physique has reached 1.3, and his skin maintains elasticity while also possessing considerable resilience.

After testing, it was found that a regular knife required some force to cut the skin, and the wound would stop bleeding quickly within 30 seconds and scab over and heal within a day. These characteristics were beginning to move towards inhumanity, which was the source of his confidence to take a sulfuric acid bath.

"I'll sleep here tonight," Bai Ye thought to himself. He then calmed down, ignoring the slight stinging sensation from the sulfuric acid, and began cultivating the Purple Cloud Divine Art, quickly entering a state of complete absorption in the world.

During this process, the sulfuric acid inside the glass bathtub continuously corroded Bai Ye's skin.

Although the corrosiveness of sulfuric acid is so weak due to dilution that it is almost non-existent, when the time is extended to several hours, Bai Ye's skin gradually begins to give out.

However, as the skin's surface is corroded, Baiye's healing abilities begin to take effect, thus maintaining a delicate balance between destruction and healing.

At seven o'clock on the morning of the second day, Bai Ye, whose face was shrouded in purple mist, exhaled a long breath of turbid air and slowly gathered the internal energy flowing through his body back into his dantian.

Feeling the eight strands of true energy quietly dormant within his dantian, Bai Ye slowly opened his eyes, his heart filled with emotion.

"The aptitude boost from my 1.3 constitution has doubled my cultivation efficiency. The true qi I accumulated in one night was equivalent to the total from the previous two nights combined. If I had a 1.4 or 1.5 constitution, I wouldn't be able to… hiss."

Bai Ye, lost in thought, suddenly gasped softly. Just as she was about to get up, she felt a sharp, needle-like pain in the skin below her neck.

Looking down, the skin soaking in the bathtub appeared as red as if dripping blood, resembling a boiled shrimp.

He climbed out of the bathtub, trembling almost all over, the stinging sensation on his skin, especially his lower body, making him gasp repeatedly.

The sensation was so intense, almost like being skinned alive; it felt like my body was being marinated in sulfuric acid.

As Bai Ye stepped out of the bathtub, a new message appeared on the status bar.

You have completed a diluted sulfuric acid bath that lasted a total of 9 hours, 17 minutes, and 26 seconds...

Repeat 5 times to increase maximum constitution by 0.1.

Looking at the instructions on the label, Bai Ye's eyes lit up. Her experiment had indeed been correct. The damage and regeneration of the body could indeed improve physical fitness. Next time she had the chance, she would lie in the sulfuric acid pool and use electroshock therapy. The combination of internal and external treatments would surely have an even more outstanding effect.

Bai Ye got up, enduring the stinging pain on her skin, and slowly dried herself off with a towel before putting on her clothes.

Looking up at the time, Bai Ye realized it was still early before school started. He quickly ate his food to fill his stomach and then did push-ups in his room.

With strength reaching 1.4 and physique reaching 1.3, Bai Ye's physical attributes have begun to gradually approach the limits of human beings.

He doesn't even need internal energy to sustain himself; he can do more than three thousand push-ups in one go simply by relying on his physical strength.

Enduring the stinging sensation of skin rubbing against clothing, Bai Ye spent an hour completing more than 5,800 push-ups in the standard posture before collapsing to the ground, exhausted.

During this process, sweat seeps from the skin, much like rubbing salt into a wound.

"Too slow. After improving my stamina, training solely based on my own weight takes too long. I definitely need to train with weights." Bai Ye looked at the wasted time and was somewhat dissatisfied.

Looking up at the time, Bai Ye saw that there were still about ten minutes before class. He calmly picked up his schoolbag, opened the door, and rushed towards the school.

What was a hellish journey for him three days ago was no challenge for Bai Ye at this moment. He didn't even gasp for breath throughout the entire process.

The only pain was the stinging sensation from the friction of my clothes when I ran.

On the road, his running body almost formed a blur, and passers-by were overtaken before they could even react, leaving them only to stare in disbelief at his back.

You completed a run of 2024 meters at an average pace of 2 minutes and 20 seconds per kilometer, repeating it 15328 times. Your body suffered 0.11% long-term damage, which can be recovered on its own when your physical fitness reaches 1.5.
