Chapter 11

Although the post only occasionally mentioned the situation that Zhuochuan was in, it did not provide a detailed explanation. However, Zhuochuan was not disappointed. At least he confirmed that he had now comprehended a soul skill left behind by the previous soul, B47995, which was "Time and Space Travel."

It was from this post that he clearly understood this point, as it explicitly stated that "Time and Space Travel" was a legendary soul skill, which also helped Zhuochuan understand its true status.

Previously, Zhuochuan thought that Time and Space Travel was just a power he obtained through a stroke of luck, and he was not clear about what it was or how he got it. But now that he understood its origin, he had new doubts.

In the post, it was also explained that regardless of the type of soul skill, using it would consume a certain amount of soul power, and the more advanced the skill, the more soul power it would consume, which aligned with the general understanding.

However, "Time and Space Travel," a legendary soul skill, did not seem to consume any soul power each time Zhuochuan used it, except for the six-hour time limit. This clearly contradicted common sense.

Of course, this was not the time to study this issue. Zhuochuan was more interested in figuring out how to actively comprehend the other soul skills left by his predecessor, preferably attack-type skills.

He now had more confidence. Since he could obtain such a legendary soul skill like "Time and Space Travel," there was no reason he couldn't comprehend other soul skills.

Zhuochuan searched again for information on "soul successors mastering soul skills" but found almost nothing. The occasional mentions had no substantial content, which left him greatly disappointed.

Zhuochuan thought for a moment, found a famous forum on "soul skill cultivation," registered an account, and posted a question:

"Dean Chris mentioned in a post that a citizen's soul successor can break the norm and master the predecessor's soul skills before mastering soul power. Does anyone know the techniques or the steps to achieve this?"

Within ten seconds, several people replied, and Zhuochuan quickly read them.

"Although I can't answer the question, I can bump it!"

"Is the OP a citizen's soul successor? I envy you, but I'm not jealous. Glory comes with pressure."

"I advise the OP that it's very hard to get an answer online. This is probably one of the highest secrets of citizens, and we, the reserve citizens, can't answer your question."

"Right, OP, work hard. Good luck."

There are still many good people, Zhuochuan sighed, but he could only close the post and continue searching.

After staying up all night researching, Zhuochuan still found nothing on the issue. However, he felt refreshed the next morning, admiring the strength of his body. According to what he found online, the soul is nourished by the body, and as long as the body is intact, it can continuously recover. Therefore, the higher the body's recovery ability, the more vibrant the soul.

He remembered his agreement with Old Xu from the previous day. After a simple breakfast, he hurried to school.

Old Xu was already waiting for him in the training hall. Seeing him arrive, Old Xu didn't say much and handed him a training plan, explaining it again.

"Your physical attack power is very strong. If you don't use soul power for defense, even a citizen-level opponent can't withstand it. Yesterday's practice with He Qiang proved this point," Old Xu said while Zhuochuan was looking at the training plan. "I thought about it after I went home. Besides comprehending an attack-type soul skill as He Qiang suggested, if you can't comprehend one, there's another way. With your physical strength, if you can find some techniques to break through a citizen's soul power defense, you still have a good chance of winning."

Zhuochuan nodded, moved by Old Xu's consideration. He had given him another path, not just limiting him to comprehending attack-type skills. Even support-type skills that could break through defenses would be useful.

"Techniques to break through a citizen's soul power defense?" Zhuochuan repeated it twice, put down the training plan, and looked up at Old Xu. "Yes, I'll look for them."

"That's good," Old Xu said, then led him to the side of the training hall and into a green door.

"This is the destruction training room. All materials are self-repairing. You've been here before," Old Xu explained, pointing to a row of machines.

"This is the basic punching power tester, which can accurately measure the force of your punch when you burst out. The maximum test data for ordinary reserve citizens is one thousand kilograms, and most are around four hundred kilograms."

Zhuochuan thought about the boxing data he had seen before. The maximum punching force of a boxer like Mike Tyson was also around several hundred kilograms, not a fixed value but generally within the ton range. This meant that ordinary people here had physical qualities close to or exceeding those of boxing champions. However, Zhuochuan was already used to this, as the physical qualities of ordinary people here constantly challenged his understanding.

"Of course, you can't compare. When you first came here for training, your test data was twenty tons, twenty times the human limit. Your body can't get any stronger. To get stronger, you would need to implant metal, but that would affect the mastery of soul power, and very few people do that."

Old Xu skipped over the row of testing machines and continued to lead Zhuochuan forward, stopping at a blue door. He opened it and entered another room. The walls were all painted red, and in the center was a row of various human-shaped targets in different colors.

"These targets of different colors have varying hardness levels, from harder than diamond to softer than graphite. They can accurately simulate the various physical defense limits of the human body. Next, I will train you to destroy these targets."

"Okay," Zhuochuan nodded. In the modern world, he was just an ordinary person busy with work. Now, he had to start training in combat, but he didn't resist it. Instead, he felt a hidden excitement. In the modern world, his physical condition and work environment would never allow him such a chance to fight freely, but here, he could.

This should be a man's instinct, just like sex, violence is also one of men's favorites. Various competitive sports, the more violent they are, the more popular they become. Many people prefer boxing over football or basketball, and tough players on the field are more likely to receive attention.

"Come, hit this strongest target with all your strength. Its strength simulates the physical strength of an S-level citizen, but in reality, from B-level onwards, the body can no longer be strengthened and is nearly as hard as diamond. The difference is in the techniques used," Old Xu pointed to a dusty human-shaped target and indicated.

Zhuochuan looked at the target, which was about his height.

He took a quick glance, took a deep breath, and the face of Jie Cheng from a few days ago appeared in his mind. He twisted his waist, turned, and shouted, "Die!" as he punched the target's chest.

"Clang!" The target was hit and flew up, exploding in the air and breaking into pieces. Immediately, a stream of mist sprayed from the room, enveloping the fragments and quickly gathering them together.

"Good, this is your current strongest attack, right?" Old Xu praised. The destructive power was secondary; the key was that Zhuochuan could shatter the target with his bare hands and no protection, indicating that his physical strength had reached its peak, comparable to the diamond-hard target.

"Okay," Zhuochuan nodded. That punch had released all the pent-up frustration of the past few days, making him feel light and refreshed, and his tone was higher.

"If that punch had landed on Jie Cheng, he would have been killed without soul power protection," Old Xu said. "But a duel is a duel, and life and death are not discussed."

"Your attack power can still improve. Strength is one aspect, but speed and accuracy also affect the final destructive power," Old Xu said, picking another dusty human-shaped target.

"This target is the same as the one you just hit," Old Xu said, then picked up a pair of boxing gloves from a tool rack. "I don't have your physical strength, so I can't hit without being hurt."

Then, he took a few steps back, sprinted forward, and delivered a hook to the target's chin.

The target wobbled, its neck broke, and although the impact was not as dramatic as Zhuochuan's, the effect was the same.

"My physical strength is far inferior to yours, but by finding the weak point and using the right technique, I can still defeat it," Old Xu said.

"Next, we will start training, focusing on speed, technique, and accuracy to fully tap into the potential of your body," Old Xu said.

Zhuochuan nodded and began training under Old Xu's guidance.
