Chapter 11 Eternal Physique Optimization
Nights within the Syringe graveyard are perilous and filled with unknown dangers. No one dared venture more than three hundred meters past the safe zone since those who dared to do that was either stupid or stupidly strong, like a level nine expert.
All sorts of beasts with unknown abilities lurked within. For Erian to even think of spending the night here means he was toying with his life. But with great risks, comes great wealth. Erian was willing to risk it.
Being cautious, he settled close to the edge of the wasteland. If there is any trouble, he could flee immediately.
Finally, there was nothing to disturb him. Erian spent an hour dismantling the three hundred plus syringes and absorbing the energy within them. Done, he made a count of his gains and he was left feeling very satisfied. ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m

[Agility: 4.0]
[Vitality: 3.9]

[Progress: 0/5000]
Having read his status, Erian's eyes inadvertently settled on his main technique '49 Ancient Paths Of Physique Tempering'
The technique was already so powerful at this point, that Erian couldn't help but wonder how powerful the preceding art would be. Although it was very expensive, Erian gritted his teeth and chose to upgrade the technique.
"Upgrade main art." He had only thought about it when the rows of data before his eyes blurred and then changed.
[Name: Eternal Physique Optimization Art(Legendary Tier, low-grade)]
[Level: 1]
[Note: This is a long-lost incomplete art which taps into the hidden potentials of the body, tempering every cell, tissue, bone and skin with the aid of nuclear energy, optimizing the body to its fullest potential.]
[Lack of core information about body tempering technique and Nuclear energy-absorbing art to extrapolate a subsequential art!]
"Hm!?" Reading the information about the new technique, Erian was stunned. After a moment of silence, he struggled and was finally able to calm himself but his heart was beating so loudly one could faintly hear the pounding from the outside.
Assuming the description of the technique was true, then the system is truly godly.
There's no time like the present. His brain was very active at the moment.
Erian read through the technique and how to practise it. The technique has 12 levels to it and contained a breathing technique along with numerous stances and movements. It was oddly complex, but that was what piqued Erian's interest the most. Breathing while performing complex movements and stances at the same time, was going to be very difficult. The more complex the technique the more powerful it would be.
Closing his eyes, Erian familiarized himself with the breathing techniques. The pattern of the technique changes along with the change in body movement and stance. In his previous life, multi-tasking wasn't his strongest suit. Even the previous Erian was the same which was why he decided to first focus on the breathing techniques, familiarize himself with them and then move to the physical aspect, familiarize himself with them before combining them in practice.
Strangely, Erian's breathing began releasing a faint humming sound, his lungs seen to vibrate in the process of his breathing.
His face reddened slightly and he felt really short of breath even then, Erian persevered he didn't have the talent to become a Titan, therefore, he would make it up with perseverance.
Times passed, and seconds turned to minutes. By the time Erian had roughly familiarized himself with the breathing patterns, almost an hour had passed.
Erian opened his eyes and checked through his status. There was no increase in his attribute not energy. 'Hm, I can only practice it together then.'
Another hour passed and Erian performed the last stance of the technique. The art was quite different from his previous ones which depicts one's level according to the number of stances one could perform.
This art had limited movements and stances. While the poses are even weirder, it wasn't too difficult to perform them all, but it was time-consuming.
Calculating according to his speed, It would take roughly three to four hours to complete the stances and the movement therefore after memorizing the entire stances and movements, Erian proceeded to start practising.
Every few minutes, his posture would change and with every change in posture, his breathing pattern would also change along with them. Sensing a stream of warm air entering his body like the air he breathes.
Huh? Nuclear energy is automatically attracted into my body? Upon this discovery, Erian practised even more diligently according to memory.
Thirty minutes later, Erian sensed a crisp crack sound within his body. He was exalted and energetic.
This breakthrough to level one was quite easy. Could it be due to the fact that this was his third time? Two more hours passed. The night was already dark. The wind was rising and the temperature was dropping.
Erian's body tremble and he immediately felt refreshed with a warm stream of hear entering into his skin like the wind. He broke through again.
Although slower this time, Erian continued the technique until he performed the last stance along with the breathing technique. Sighing heavily, he dropped to the ground, sweat dripping off his skin. His body released a kind of heavy stench from his practice.
He didn't check on his status but stood up and performed another set of the technique. Like a mad man, Erian seem to be in a daze. His body switching postures between postures and his chest undulating along with the unique breathing technique.
He was about to perform the last stance when his muscles taunted and his chest shook slightly, breaking through another level, waking him up from his daze. Feeling refreshed and light as a feather, Erian glanced at his body and noticed the sweat on his skin was even thicker and more slimy than previously. He could feel that his strength had increased greatly with his level up.
[Name: Erian Falstone]
[Level: Three]
[Nuclear Energy: 596/119]
[Strength: 6.9]
[Agility: 7]
[Vitality: 6.9]

[Name: Eternal Physique Optimization Art(Legendary Tier, low-grade)]
His body limit for energy has increased from 30 to 119 after two sets of practice. Even his nuclear energy increased by a hundred points. Erian was immediately satisfied with this technique. The energy he had spent to acquire 'Eternal Physique Optimization art' was well worth it. Erian was about to continue his practice when he saw a large shadow rapidly headed in his direction.
