Gao Wu: I grow stronger with each death.

Chapter 7 That Night, Wang Sheng Grown

"Huff, huff..."

Wang Sheng opened his eyes, panting heavily. He glanced at the clock on the table; it was nearly 10 p.m.

"It hurts, it hurts..."

Even though he had been resurrected and his status refreshed, the pain seemed to be etched into his soul, causing his healthy body to experience phantom pain for no apparent reason.

"I swear that in this life... no, even if I were to be reincarnated ten thousand times, I would never want to die in this way again."

The excruciating pain was almost devastating to his spirit. If he could replicate this manner of death again, his mental strength and willpower might be amplified.

Because he'll definitely go insane before he dies.

"I absolutely can't keep doing this... And as I get stronger, the effort required to 'train myself to death' becomes increasingly terrifying. This time it was two hours of torture, next time it'll be four or five hours, won't it?"

Of course, this is still the most ideal prediction.

Wang Sheng suspected that when he replicated this move, the special ability would automatically activate a mechanism similar to "downtime protection" to prevent him from dying during practice.

"That means that instead of destroying myself, I should take the initiative to risk being killed by people or monsters. That is a more suitable way to become stronger."

Thinking of this, Wang Sheng gave up the idea of ​​replicating the cultivation method that led to death.

We still have to go to the Rift Battlefield.

No, that's a bit too far off. To be more specific, underground boxing matches or high school training missions are more plausible.

"It seems there are still many directions this cheat code can be explored in. Let's stop here for today. The most urgent matter is..."

It should be a time to check the results of our efforts.

With this in mind, Wang Sheng got into position and began practicing the stance training and breathing techniques from the "Primitive Body Refining Method".

He quickly discovered the uniqueness of this technique as soon as he started practicing it.

This body-refining method is ancient and profound, with a kind of clumsiness and dullness, which is very different from the cultivation methods I have practiced before.

Wang Sheng's original practice, the "Thirteenth Set of Basic Cultivation Methods for Middle School Students," was indeed the most suitable and convenient universal cultivation method for the general public to lay a foundation.

However, universality means losing individuality, and the lack of individualized instruction inevitably stifles individual strengths. It can be considered a product of choices made under the universal martial arts system.

Only a few renowned families would abandon this particular technique at the beginning of their training and specifically seek out a private instructor to learn another method.

Let's return to the topic of "The Primal Body Refining Method".

Wang Sheng felt that this technique was indeed very suitable for him.

There were no fancy tricks or elaborate foundations to prepare for other techniques later on; it was simply about improving basic physical fitness to the extreme.

"The original body-refining method is divided into five parts: breathing, body refining, stance training, body tempering, and battle will."

While practicing standing meditation and internal energy cultivation, he reviewed the additional memories that had appeared in his mind.

"The Battle Intent requires entry into the realm to cultivate, and Body Tempering requires medicinal herbs... I don't have the money, so it's best to focus on cultivating the first three chapters for now."

Thinking it over, he slowly began to perform the movements.

One hour later.

"Phew, after several cycles, it seems I'm almost at the entry level of the cultivation technique. Is this what superior mortal bones are like?"

The speed of cultivation is completely different from before, much faster than expected, more than two or three times faster.

"Although I haven't entered the realm yet, my physical condition has already reached the level of a martial artist at the initial stage of the Bronze Bone Realm. What I still lack is my Qi and Blood."

Qi and blood, the essence, energy, and spirit of a martial artist are all embodied here. A large amount of qi and blood is the mark and calling card of a strong person.

If a person is physically strong but has weak Qi and blood, it is like a patient with a strong body, which feels very strange.

In short, you must raise your Qi and Blood value to 1 point within three months.

Although he was still 0.2 points away from reaching 1 point of Qi and Blood, Wang Sheng was confident that he would reach that level in the martial arts exam three months later.

If they can use this opportunity to break through to the initial stage of the Bronze Bone Realm, then Qingjiang No. 1 Middle School will have a very good chance.

"But it's not safe enough."

While reaching a certain level is indeed a prerequisite for admission, it doesn't guarantee success, nor does it mean that you'll be accepted simply by taking the exam.

So we need to be even stronger!

After circulating his internal energy for several cycles, Wang Sheng relaxed his stance and picked up the kitchen knife again.

A few minutes later.

[You son of a bitch...]

......

......

Donghua Residential Area, 10:30 AM.

Inside the bedroom, Wang Sheng opened his eyes once again.

He hadn't slept all night, spending the entire night refreshing his status using special abilities, so he wasn't sleepy at all.

As it stands, he hasn't yet figured out the limit to the number of resurrections. He probably won't be able to figure it out in one night. Perhaps there is a limit, or perhaps there isn't.

Having experienced the self-destructive cultivation method, Wang Sheng completely overcame his instinctive fear of pain and death. Therefore, he was very adept at "refreshing his status" and could die hundreds of times in one night.

After all, he's quite quick-witted and has plenty of ways to avoid extrasensory reflexes.

Let's talk about enhancements...

"It's worse than I imagined."

That night he tried many ways to die, but the marginal diminishing effect of the same way of dying was very large, and it was becoming increasingly difficult to die.

If you die too many times using the exact same method, the bonus becomes a drop in the ocean, a mere trifle. In the end, it's not as fast as honestly cultivating.

With only a kitchen knife, Wang Sheng obviously couldn't develop more experiences, and his beautiful vision of ascending to heaven by stepping on his own feet was shattered.

"Even a small grasshopper is still meat. This night's hard work has yielded considerable results. I'll take advantage of my day off to test my blood energy levels."

His own assessment was ultimately just a rough estimate, with an error margin of 10% to 20%, which was no small matter. He needed to see a definite number to feel at ease.

Thinking of this, Wang Sheng finally opened his door:

"Mom, I'm hungry."

Not long after.

Gu Xiumei and Wang Feng sat at the dining table, both looking at Wang Sheng with some surprise.

Gu Xiumei doesn't know martial arts, but she can clearly feel that her son has changed a lot overnight. His composure in every move is completely unlike that of a child his age.

That unique quality is just like... just like...

"It's like he crawled out of a pile of corpses."

Wang Feng thought to himself.

But what surprised him even more than this change in temperament was that Wang Sheng's blood and energy were incredibly abundant overnight.

Even if you took some kind of magic pill, it probably wouldn't be much different.

Wang Sheng said he could pass the martial arts exam, and it seems he wasn't lying.

He didn't ask much about his son's situation, but turned to Gu Xiumei and said:

"How much money do you have left at home? Enough to pay for your son's tuition?"

Gu Xiumei nodded:

"Well, I haven't touched my hidden stash of money, it should be enough, it's just..."

She said with some concern:

"Other children can afford supplements in their diet, medicinal baths, and coaching; they even bribe teachers at school to give them extra attention. I'm afraid of having children..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Sheng looked up and continued:

"Don't worry, Dad, Mom, you don't need to worry too much about living expenses. I'm all grown up now, and I'll try my best to find solutions to many things on my own."

Seeing this, the couple exchanged a glance but said nothing.

Only Gu Xiumei seemed to have tears welling up in her eyes, but she stubbornly held them back from falling.
