Chapter 3

Strength: 0.6

Speed: 0.7

Spirit: 1

Constitution: 0.9

Luo Yunyang's strength increased by 0.1, a small amount, but it filled his heart with wild joy. This 0.1 increase meant that the attribute adjustment panel would have a greater effect on him in the future.

"Yunyang, go try your strength, don't let the beauty's heart be in vain!" The chubby Shen Yulang ran over with a grin, smirking.

Luo Yunyang didn't smile. He was also thinking about the fourth-grade energy bar worth 500 big yuan.

Although Luo Shang's family was much better off than his, 500 big yuan was probably all the tuition her family gave her for the entire semester. Thinking about this, Luo Yunyang felt a bit complicated, a mix of a little sweetness and a bit of guilt.

"Let's try the strength first." Luo Yunyang put his thoughts aside and went to the punching bag.

"Boom!"

"Luo Yunyang, 605 pounds, excellent!"

Hearing the mechanical voice, Luo Yunyang felt a surge of excitement. He had increased by 63 pounds. By his own estimate, it would have taken him at least three months to increase his strength by 63 pounds.

Now, one fourth-grade energy bar had solved the problem.

"Yunyang, you've broken our school's record. In our school, the most anyone has increased their strength by eating a fourth-grade energy bar is 40 pounds. You, you freak, have increased by over 60 pounds!"

As the chubby Shen Yulang spoke, his tone changed. "Hehe, could it be the power of love?"

"Your love!" Luo Yunyang pressed down on Shen Yulang's smirking head and cursed softly. He had a good impression of Luo Shang, but now, his chest was filled with excitement.

"Ugh, it's time for class. I really envy you freaks who can skip the basic courses." Shen Yulang wanted to make a few more jokes, but suddenly saw the big clock on the school flagpole, with its missing corner, pointing to four.

The fourth-grade energy bar contained 400 units of energy, and he had only increased by 60 pounds, meaning the energy absorption rate was a bit over one-tenth.

In Luo Yunyang's mind, the content about energy conversion he had learned before surfaced, and he couldn't help but curse, "What a waste."

"Can I cultivate the Ape Dragon Foundation Diagram now?" As soon as this thought arose, Luo Yunyang felt a bright light in his eyes.

The twelve-form body-strengthening boxing they learned was the most suitable for their stage, released by the Great Federation.

However, before enrollment, all the students were taken to a treasure map depicting apes and dragons, and they were asked to hold the poses of the ape and dragon for ten minutes.

Unfortunately, the strongest Luo Yunyang only managed to hold the pose for three minutes.

The teacher who led them was incredibly regretful, telling them how much of a great opportunity they had missed.

The six paintings on the Ape Dragon Foundation Diagram were the most top-tier foundation-building secrets in the entire Great Federation. Because the Great Federation wanted to cultivate talent, they issued the Ape Dragon Foundation Diagram to every school.

As long as one could cultivate the six paintings, they could become an elite and receive special cultivation from the Great Federation.

In the Great Federation, only those who became martial artists could earn the title of elite, and even a beginner martial artist was just the lowest G-level elite.

But students who cultivated the five paintings were F-level elites.

F-level elites, as long as they didn't commit major violent crimes like murder, were not punished. They enjoyed an 80% discount on food and medicine purchases and had the right to priority and no queuing for public affairs...

Compared to these, what was most appealing was the 10,000 big yuan monthly cultivation fund provided by the Federation for F-level elites.

The value of 10,000 big yuan made Luo Yunyang's heart race.

When he first enrolled, to make his family wealthy, Luo Yunyang had once frantically cultivated the Ape Dragon Foundation Diagram.

Not only Luo Yunyang, but many classmates also secretly cultivated it frantically.

However, after a week of cultivation, seven classmates became disabled due to excessive persistence.

Luo Yunyang himself also suffered from a great loss of qi and blood due to cultivating the Ape Dragon Foundation Diagram.

The classmates' tragic conditions eventually made Luo Yunyang give up on cultivating the Ape Dragon Foundation Diagram, and the teacher told them at that time that in the entire Great Federation, it was already quite good if one in ten thousand young people could cultivate the Ape Dragon Foundation Diagram.

Their constitutions were not up to par!

In the dim classroom, a giant painting, printed with inkjet, twenty meters wide and over five meters high, occupied one side of the wall.

The black giant ape and the crimson divine dragon gave a sense of trembling.

Observing the momentum of the ape and dragon, one could cultivate the Ape Dragon Foundation!

For Luo Yunyang, the six paintings in this diagram were already deeply etched in his mind, but every time he saw the apes and dragons, he still felt a sense of awe.

Nothing had changed!

After looking at the painting once more, Luo Yunyang called up the adjustment panel in his mind. This time, he left half of the attributes for constitution and added the rest to spirit.

Spirit: 2.8

At this moment, Luo Yunyang felt his mind was incredibly clear. The moment he looked at the Ape Dragon Foundation Diagram, the six paintings in his mind seemed to come alive.

The originally motionless giant ape roared on the ground, and the action of leaping into the air was clearly imprinted in Luo Yunyang's mind.

"Magic Ape Rending the Earth!"

Although it was just a simple action, in Luo Yunyang's mind, he saw every inch of the magic ape's muscles vibrating and stretching, and each vibration seemed to increase the magic ape's strength.

It turned out that what I cultivated before was all wrong!

Luo Yunyang's eyes were fixed on the first painting of the magic ape, trying to record every change of the magic ape in his mind.

If it were before, Luo Yunyang would not have been able to do this. Although his memory was good, the magic ape in the giant painting was so complex that remembering even a fraction of it was extremely difficult.

But now, everything became incredibly easy and effortless. All the changes of the magic ape were clearly imprinted in Luo Yunyang's mind without any omissions.

Slowly, Luo Yunyang closed his eyes and reviewed the giant painting in his mind in detail before opening his eyes.

Not a single mistake!

But at this moment, there was no joy in Luo Yunyang's eyes, only a hint of doubt.

Some of the vibrations in the Magic Ape Rending the Earth seemed to be out of sync.

Was it his perception that was off, or was there something wrong with the Ape Dragon Foundation Diagram itself? However, no matter which aspect was wrong, the Ape Dragon Foundation Diagram was far superior to the basic twelve-form boxing he had been practicing.

Recovery!

Luo Yunyang adjusted his mental attributes back to their initial state and looked at the Ape Dragon Foundation Diagram again.

The Magic Ape Rending the Earth was still clear, but the rest had become blurry.

Without hesitation, Luo Yunyang leaped into the air, raised his fists high, and struck downward heavily.

The key to this move was not the strike but the contraction and vibration of the muscles during the jump and landing.

Six hundred and three muscles gathered force simultaneously!

Each contraction and vibration absorbed energy and exercised the muscles.

The moment Luo Yunyang performed the Magic Ape Rending the Earth, he felt a tearing sensation in his body.

In an instant, all his muscles seemed to be torn apart!

The pain was unbearable!

This feeling was even more painful than when he had practiced incorrectly before. Almost instantly, Luo Yunyang stopped the Magic Ape Rending the Earth.

In addition to insight, the foundation of the Ape Dragon Foundation Diagram was even more important. Without the corresponding foundation, understanding the correct cultivation method would actually cause more harm.

This was what Xiong Zhenshan had said in Luo Yunyang's memory!

The foundation, of course, referred to constitution. Luo Yunyang quickly adjusted his mental regulator, setting his constitution to 2.

Luo Yunyang didn't increase it further because he still needed agility and strength for cultivation.

He leaped high again, performing the Magic Ape Rending the Earth according to the movements in his mind. In an instant, Luo Yunyang felt each muscle vibration was like a sponge, absorbing and refining the energy outside the muscles.

Jump, punch, land!

Jump, punch, land...

The repetitive movements did not make Luo Yunyang feel the slightest bit tedious. He repeatedly performed the Magic Ape Rending the Earth, feeling the vibrations of all 603 muscles in his body.

The few moves in the basic twelve-form boxing that exercised muscles mainly used the muscles in the arms, legs, and abdomen, totaling about 300 muscles.

"Magic Ape Rending the Earth!"

Like a sky-tearing magic ape, Luo Yunyang felt his body sway upon landing, and even his mind went dark.

Over-cultivation, the internal energy couldn't keep up!

In this situation, he absolutely couldn't rush and continue cultivating.

Reluctantly, Luo Yunyang glanced at the other paintings and turned to leave the classroom where the Ape Dragon Foundation Diagram was hung.

It was already dark outside!

In other words, he had practiced all afternoon!

Luo Yunyang looked at the school, where only a few biogas lamps were still lit, and walked straight toward the playground.

The punching bag still stood proudly in the center of the playground.

Luo Yunyang stepped forward and threw a punch.

At this moment, he had restored all his attributes to their original state, and this punch was his true performance.

1001 pounds!

The number on the punching bag made Luo Yunyang's eyes flash with wild joy.

The Ape Dragon Foundation Diagram, indeed, was a cultivation method only elites could practice. After just one afternoon of cultivation, his strength had increased to 1001 pounds!

Luo Yunyang leaped into the air and performed the familiar Magic Ape Rending the Earth, striking the punching bag.

1213 pounds!

Another 200 pounds increase, what a rush!

At this moment, Luo Yunyang felt an urge to let out a long roar, but he suppressed his excitement and walked out of the school.

His home was in the town, and he wanted to share his joy with his family!

At the same time, his mind still flashed with the image of his punch reaching 1001 pounds. The main reason for this was that the cultivation of the Magic Ape Rending the Earth had activated the muscles in his body that had been dormant.

How could the strength of 300 muscles compare to that of 603 muscles!

"Hey!" As Luo Yunyang approached his home, he suddenly heard a sharp voice from inside. This voice was unfamiliar, not from his family!
