Level Up in Martial World

Chapter 3: Constitution

As Lu Zhen returned to his room to continue his cultivation, he began to ponder about the abilities of his system. He had observed that skills could be acquired by fulfilling certain conditions, and this led him to make an assumption that attribute levels could also be increased in a similar manner.

However, it was merely an assumption he came up with on the spot. He still needed to verify it and the question remained: How could he meet the specific conditions to level up his attributes?

Among the attributes, the one he found easiest to comprehend was constitution. Lu Zhen believed that the constitution represented the overall strength and vitality of the body.

To improve his constitution, Lu Zhen decided to start with a simple exercise: push-ups.

With decisiveness, Lu Zhen positioned himself on the floor. He placed his hands firmly on the ground, shoulder-width apart, and straightened his body from head to toe.

He took a deep breath and lowered his body towards the ground, feeling the strain on his muscles. His arms trembled a little, but he pushed through the discomfort and increased the number of push-ups he did.

As he continued, sweat started to form on his forehead, reflecting the soft light in the room. His controlled breaths filled the air, accompanied by the faint sound of his muscles working.

As Lu Zhen continued his push-ups, he soon reached his limit by doing 190 repetitions.

Despite the discomfort and muscle soreness, Lu Zhen remained determined to push himself further. He continued doing push-ups, feeling the strain on his muscles intensify. Every repetition brought him closer to his goal.

His muscles began to ache, and the pain seemed almost unbearable. However, Lu Zhen's unwavering resolve propelled him forward. He refused to succumb to the pain, knowing that pain is the ladder to success.

With sheer willpower, he persevered, completing the final 200 push-ups.

As a surge of energy coursed through his body, a renewed vitality enveloped him. He felt his muscles pulsate with power, as if he were the ruler of this world. The sensation of strength and vigor filled every fiber of his being.

In the corner of his vision, a notification from his system appeared, catching his attention.

[You have exceeded your body limit.]

[Constitution has levelled up from level 4 to level 5.]

Lu Zhen's face lit up with satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment. He had successfully tested his theory.

Looks like he could indeed level up if he met certain conditions.

However he didn't know how to increase other attributes. Maybe charm needed him to do make up? He didn't know much about anything so he decided to first max out his constitution to the limits first.

With renewed vigor, Lu Zhen began his push-up routine once again. Time seemed to slip away as he dedicated himself to the exercise, pushing his body to its limit.

As he reached his limit, a warm surge of energy coursed through his veins, revitalizing his body and making him feel invigorated. The appearance of a system prompt in the corner of his vision brought a sense of excitement and fulfilment.

[You have reached your body's limit.]

[Your constitution has levelled up from level 5 to level 6.]

A wave of accomplishment washed over him, filling him with pride for the hard work he had put in and the rewards he had earned.

Realizing the strain in his muscles, Lu Zhen wisely decided to take a break from his push-up session. He understood the importance of avoiding injury and didn't want to push himself too hard, despite feeling stronger with the warm energy.

Feeling the heat emanating from his exerted body, he removed his black-coloured gown. His room contained a large mirror, from the previous owner of his body who had been quite narcissistic. Reflecting on this fact, Lu Zhen couldn't help but let a bitter smile grace his lips.

When Lu Zhen caught a glimpse of his shirtless body reflection in the mirror, he couldn't help but be amazed by his transformed physique. His body now boasted defined six-pack abs, and though he was still lean, his muscles exuded a sense of power.

Examining his appearance, Lu Zhen took note of his handsome face with red eyes, black hair, and well-defined features. He couldn't deny that he looked good, even more so with the added physical enhancements he had gained through his cheat.

Lu Zhen swiftly changed his clothes and made his way outside to indulge in the delicious food that awaited him. As he arrived, Little Lily greeted him with excitement.

"Young master, I have prepared the food for you, and the bath is ready." She said eagerly.

Lu Zhen affectionately patted Little Lily's head, causing a faint blush to rise on her cheeks. "Good job, Lily." he murmured, his tone slow and flirtatious. His words whispered seductively into her ear, leaving her face completely flushed with embarrassment.

The previous host had one good quality: he liked to bathe every day. Lu Zhen was naturally pleased with this, but he didn't want to bathe in hot water.

"Little Lily, prepare my bath with cold water."

"Yes, young master." Little Lily responded while blushing.

"I will go prepare the bath with cold water," Little Lily said, her voice filled with embarrassment, as she hurriedly went to make the necessary arrangements.

Lu Zhen felt a sense of contentment with himself. Being a former virgin and still a virgin, he still had it in him to make girl blush.

Little Lily who was sneakingly looked at Lu Zhen.

"Young master has become more handsome for some reason..." She thought as her face was rosy red already.

With a satisfied expression, Lu Zhen finished his meal, feeling a surge of energy coursing through his body once again.

He couldn't help but notice that this time, he absorbed the energy from the food more efficiently than before with almost no wastage to any of that warm mysterious energy.

"Looks like this new skill I got increases my metabolism," he mused, intrigued by the unexpected enhancement.

With that thought, Lu Zhen wasted no time and quickly proceeded to take a cold-water bath.
