Chapter 9

A three-bedroom house with a large garden became Luo Yunyang's new home before sunset.

"Big brother, you're so awesome!" Luo Dong'er's face was full of excitement as she happily darted from one room to another, her joyful appearance giving Luo Yunyang a great sense of accomplishment.

Mother Shen Yunying was preparing the meal, and the kitchen, where golden deer meat was stewing, emitted a fragrance that was intoxicating.

Golden deer meat was truly a delicacy; just thinking about it made Luo Yunyang's mouth water. However, its value was a headache.

Three thousand yuan per pound!

Luo Yunyang had bought five pounds, which meant fifteen thousand yuan was gone, and this new house cost only twenty thousand yuan.

A house, a few pounds of golden deer meat.

It seemed like a joke, but it was the truth. And according to the classification of beasts, the golden deer was just a low-level D-grade beast.

"Eat!"

After giving two pieces of cooked golden deer meat to his mother and sister, Luo Yunyang opened his mouth and swallowed a piece.

Instantly, a huge wave of deliciousness filled his mouth, and as the golden deer meat entered his mouth, he felt a surge of energy from within his body.

This surge was even stronger than a sixth-level energy bar.

In legends, many young men from privileged backgrounds were raised eating and drinking the blood of beasts from birth. How powerful must they be?

Luo Yunyang thought about this, but then he focused his mind on the golden deer meat.

Shen Yunying and Luo Dong'er only ate a small piece each, not because Luo Yunyang was unwilling to let them eat more, but because they were already full.

Just one bite of the golden deer meat made them feel their stomachs were full.

"Dong'er, listen to Mom, I'm going to practice!" Luo Yunyang lovingly patted his sister's little head and walked into the garden.

The small garden was surrounded by brick walls, and within the half-acre space, it was all Luo Yunyang's world.

Magic Ape Split Earth!

Trapped Dragon Formation!

Although there were only two moves, Luo Yunyang practiced them with great dedication. As he performed these moves, a wave of heat slowly infused into his body.

However, this time, Luo Yunyang did not practice too hard. After an hour, feeling that the energy in his body had been fully absorbed, he walked into his room.

A brand new bed, brand new sheets, everything was new!

Luo Yunyang did not immediately take out the item he had been eagerly awaiting but instead adjusted his attribute regulator.

Strength: 1.4

Speed: 0.7

Spirit: 1.1

Constitution: 1.5

Luo Yunyang was quite satisfied with these results. He had eaten two pounds of golden deer meat and, after practicing, had converted it into nearly two hundred pounds of strength and 0.1 in constitution.

He wasn't sure if the remaining golden deer meat would have the same effect.

Luo Yunyang knew that the reason for this was mainly because it was the first time he had eaten golden deer meat to his heart's content.

Of course, the effect of the Ape Dragon Foundation Diagram was also further released.

Luo Yunyang took out the Body Strengthening Potion but did not immediately practice. Instead, he took out the instruction manual and read it carefully.

"C-grade beast blood marrow, sunflower, winter storage grass..."

The materials for one vial of Body Strengthening Potion required so many ingredients, and among them, Luo Yunyang only recognized the winter storage grass.

A plant that grew deep in the mountains, worth three thousand yuan per plant.

Of course, this recognition was only from books!

The Body Strengthening Potion was extremely potent, and the longer one could endure, the more benefits they would gain. Each person could only inject the same type of potion once in their lifetime.

More injections would have no effect!

Therefore, one must endure as long as possible!

Half an hour, absorb 15% of the potion's power!

One hour, absorb 30% of the potion's power!

Two hours, absorb 50% of the potion's power!

Three hours, absorb 70% of the potion's power!

...

Recommended endurance time: at least half an hour!

Although it is very painful, it is for your future!

If you can't endure it, you can take the accompanying pill to stop the absorption, but the effects will be expelled from the body!

The instructions were clearly imprinted in Luo Yunyang's mind, making him feel extremely excited!

How long could he endure? Luo Yunyang felt that with his willpower, he could at least last an hour.

However, one hour of absorption was only 30%.

To endure longer, he needed to adjust his attributes. The potion had no relation to strength, so he set his strength to zero.

Naturally, agility was also useless!

To tolerate pain, one needed constitution, and to reduce pain, one needed to weaken spirit!

In a moment, Luo Yunyang made his decision. He set his spirit to 0.1 and converted the rest to constitution.

Taking out the potion, Luo Yunyang injected it into his body according to the instructions. In that instant, he felt a fire burning within him.

The fire burned his skin, and he felt as if his entire body was on fire.

Pain, immense pain filled his mind.

No, if this continued, he might not last an hour. In a moment, Luo Yunyang adjusted his attribute regulator as he had planned.

Strength: 0

Speed: 0

Spirit: 0.1

Constitution: 4.6

The immense pain instantly became minimal, and Luo Yunyang even felt he couldn't sense the pain.

If the pain inside his body was like being cut by knives before, now it was just a slight discomfort.

One hour, two hours, three hours...

Due to lowering his spirit, Luo Yunyang felt a hazy, drowsy sensation, and time passed in a daze.

He didn't know how long it had been, but he no longer felt the pain inside his body. He thought the energy of the Body Strengthening Potion must have been exhausted.

Return to normal!

After giving the command to the attribute regulator in his mind, Luo Yunyang jumped up from the bed.

At that moment, he felt his bones and muscles were incredibly strong, and every muscle in his body was filled with immense vitality.

He could even feel the muscle fibers of his 639 muscles, like tiny worms, wriggling.

Although this wriggling was small, the moment Luo Yunyang clenched his fist, the strength generated from the muscle fibers, like small snakes, gathered toward his fist.

He casually picked up the strength-measuring ball on the table, and the moment he lightly gripped it, the ball started flashing various colors.

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet!

Finally, all the colors converged into the original color, and there was no further reaction.

It exploded!

Luo Yunyang looked at the strength-measuring ball in his hand, feeling a bit regretful. After all, his sister had bought it with her pocket money, and he shouldn't have broken it.

He reduced all his strength and looked at the strength-measuring ball with a hint of expectation, but there was still no reaction.

It was broken!

Putting the strength-measuring ball aside, Luo Yunyang quickly brought up the attribute regulator in his mind.

Strength: 3.3

Speed: 1.2

Spirit: 1.4

Constitution: 2.8

These numbers made Luo Yunyang's eyes shine. He had no doubt that the Body Strengthening Potion could enhance strength, but such a significant increase was beyond his imagination.

Lian Yubì and he had both used the Body Strengthening Potion, and Lian Yubì's strength had only increased by five hundred pounds, while Luo Yunyang's strength had increased by nearly two thousand pounds.

Besides strength, the highest increase was in constitution, which doubled, making Luo Yunyang feel his body was much heavier than usual.

Feeling full of strength, Luo Yunyang quickly went to the small garden. It was still dark, and to avoid waking his mother and sister, he quietly practiced horse stance.

The basic horse stance was what Luo Yunyang and his peers practiced the most. But now, as he assumed the stance, he felt a wave of strength from his entire body gathering toward his torso.

This wasn't the most important part; the most important was that the moment he assumed the horse stance, his mind became incredibly clear.

I should have completely absorbed the effects of the Body Strengthening Potion. Now, my strength has reached the peak of a second-level warrior, and I should be able to practice the third move of the Ape Dragon Foundation Diagram, the Dragon Tail Swing, which focuses on strengthening the tendons.

As the sun broke through the darkness, Luo Yunyang heard movement in the house. He thought his mother, Shen Yunying, must have woken up. At this moment, Luo Yunyang had no reservations and began practicing the Ape Dragon Foundation Diagram.

Magic Ape Split Earth, Coiling Dragon Formation!

Although his proficiency in the moves hadn't increased, each time he practiced, he felt the strength in his body becoming more active, and each execution gave him a different feeling.

"Big brother, towel!"

After practicing for an hour, Luo Dong'er ran over with a towel.

Luo Yunyang took the small towel from his sister and wiped his face, feeling a sense of joy. At that moment, he felt his strength had improved a bit.

Luo Yunyang didn't eat breakfast at home, not because he disliked his mother's cooking, but because the food at home wasn't enough to satisfy his appetite.

After instructing his mother to report to the bank, Luo Yunyang ran to school.

"Brother Luo, good morning!"

"Brother Yunyang, good morning!"

"Senior Yunyang, good morning!"

Whether boys or girls, everyone who saw Luo Yunyang greeted him respectfully, and many girls who thought they were attractive looked at him with admiration.

"Look, it's Lian Yubì and Xiong Zhenshan." After a brief conversation with Luo Yunyang, Shen Yulang pointed ahead.

"Student Luo Yunyang, there's something I want to discuss with you." Xiong Zhenshan's face was full of smiles.

"Teacher Xiong, I heard you are a second-level warrior. Why don't you guide me in my practice now?" Luo Yunyang looked at Xiong Zhenshan with a half-smile. "Take my three punches, and we'll call it even!"
