Chen Shouyi stood on a small hilltop outside the Safe Zone, his hands forming circles, as if an invisible force was being drawn down from the air and merging into himself.
The breeze blew through the nearby leaves, making a rustling sound. From afar, the rhythmic mechanical hum of steam trucks on the highway reached his ears, and dust floated gently before his eyes. He could even hear his own heartbeat and the faint sound of blood flowing through his veins.
A few minutes later, he gradually stopped his movements.
The invisible force instantly dissipated.
He was panting heavily, drenched in sweat, his body swaying slightly as he almost lost his balance.
He opened the attribute panel and glanced at it.
"Strength has finally increased by 0.1 points, reaching 15.1," Chen Shouyi thought to himself. So much time had passed that he almost believed the second optimized version of the Thirty-Six Forms of Body Refinement had no effect on him anymore.
