Chapter 74 Strength Enhancement
A figure flashed past at high speed on the snow. With his Agility increased by 10, Zhou Ye was already able to walk on the snow without leaving a trace.
Now that the martial arts school business was down, Zhou Ye wanted to continue his intensive winter training. There was still more than a month until the snow melted in spring.
Finally back home. Zhou Ye suddenly felt that this was the warmest place he had ever been. Perhaps he had grown accustomed to this solitude.
The path of martial arts is arduous! You must face it alone!
After calming himself down, Zhou Ye finally resumed his relentless work ethic.
But before that, we still need to try that batch of demon bear meat.
After repeated tastings, Zhou Ye discovered the following: Monster meat should not be consumed in large quantities. A maximum of about one pound per day is recommended. Consuming more than that will cause the nutrients to dissipate from the body, wasting the vital energy of the monster meat.
Furthermore, there are actually two types of monster meat: one is the essence of the monster meat, which is basically near the monster's heart, so Zhou Ye calls it "heart meat".
For example, the heart of this demonic bear weighs about 30 jin (approximately 15 kg), including its four paws. It provides 1 experience point per day, which adds up to about 30 points per month.
The other demon bear meat is just ordinary demon beast meat, and its effects are only one-third of the heart meat, which translates to about 10 experience points per month.
Of course, this demonic bear was at the late stage of the Qi Refining realm. If it were a demonic beast at the Ming Jin realm, the effect would definitely be better. If it were at the early or mid-stage, the effect would certainly be much less.
Since it doesn't conflict with taking low-grade Qi and Blood Pills, if I eat the heart meat, that means an extra 60 experience points per month? If it's just ordinary monster meat, then I still get 40 experience points per month?
At this moment, Zhou Ye's confidence soared, realizing that he could greatly shorten the time it would take him to reach the Ming Jin realm.
Therefore, after eating two bear paws before the New Year, Zhou Ye successfully mastered the Small Wind and Thunder Stance and officially broke through to the late stage of the Entry-level Strength Realm.
没想到好事成双。三天以后的大年初三，周野生日的日子，他再次收到了一个新年大礼包——根骨+1、悟性+1、生命值+10、力量+1、敏捷+1、体质+1、精魄+1、魅力+1……

Perhaps the last time was during the early stages of development, and by supplementing with a large amount of nutrition, the body began to develop normally.
This time, turning 16, he entered a period of explosive growth. Not only did all his base stats increase by 1, but even his innate talent and comprehension received a rare +1!
Especially considering his current aptitude was 0? Zhou Ye almost cried tears of joy, as his aptitude had finally returned to the average level of an ordinary person. And it was now 1 experience point every two days.
So let's set a goal first – we must get +2 to Root Bone!
Although a +2 aptitude doesn't reach the level of a genius, like Huang Sheng with +5, or Yuan Zhen and Du Juan with +7 or +8, it's at least the highest limit for ordinary people and can barely be considered a qualified martial arts talent.
It's important to understand that the average person's aptitude for martial arts is still quite poor. Otherwise, why would there only be tens of thousands of martial artists at the Enlightenment level in the county town? That's already one in a hundred!
Furthermore, Zhou Ye sensed that his basic stats might increase further as he matured over the next few years. He should have another chance for a New Year's gift!
As for the general increase in those basic data? Actually, each one is very important.
But what excites Zhou Ye the most is that his charm has increased by 1? If he retouches his photos and adds a beauty filter, he can be considered a 9 out of 10 handsome guy, right?
Okay! It was mainly the sudden surge in his strength that made Zhou Ye extremely excited.
At this point, further improvements are simply a matter of following the established path. The key is to practice martial arts skills and accumulate as many max-level rewards as possible.
Since that's the case? Zhou Ye considered it for a moment, then turned his gaze towards the direction of the deep mountains...
……
More than twenty days later, Zhou Ye stood on a hilltop, gazing at a dark forest in front of him.
This dark forest marks the boundary between the outer mountainous area and the deep mountains. The wild animals here are indeed much fiercer. Through constant battles, Zhou Ye's martial arts experience points increased rapidly.
My swordsmanship has already reached its peak with the Ten Forms, and so has the Cloud Ladder technique. Through the capture and hunting with the web-pulling net, even my basic throwing skill has been maxed out. Now I have an extra free attribute point.
The only downside is that a few demonic beasts do occasionally roam around here. But their numbers are so small, and they're hard to spot. During this period, Zhou Ye only hunted two demonic beasts, both at the early stage of the Qi Refining realm: a demonic badger and a demonic python. The quality of their meat was quite poor, far inferior to even ordinary demonic bear meat. Providing a maximum of 5 experience points per month, it was barely satisfactory.
At this very moment, a docile tiger was still lying in front of Zhou Ye.
Zhou Ye laughed and scolded the tiger, "Get lost! Don't be so short-tempered in the future."
The moment the words left his mouth, the tiger immediately stood up and fled into the distance without looking back...
To be honest, Zhou Ye did gain a lot of experience points from fighting this tiger. But he wasn't the kind of person who craved blood. If he simply acted as a sparring partner, he generally wouldn't choose to kill it in the end.
Of course, the key issue is that we can't take it back, so there's no need to waste it. The nearby temporary camp is already piled high with all sorts of wild animal materials, including two tiger skins and a tiger penis…
Zhou Ye glanced once more towards the deep mountains, then sighed deeply, deciding to remain calm and avoid recklessness. He would never set foot in the mountains again until he reached the Ming Jin level!
Spring is almost here, the snow is starting to melt, and it's time for me to leave the mountains and return to my home in the county town to end this winter training exercise.
Regardless, I gained a great deal in the past year. And I finally have the confidence to establish myself in this martial arts world...
