113 Chapter 113: Body Strengthening (2/2)

”Hey, you don't need to do that. I'm a grown man. I don't need other people nursing me around.” Barry stubbornly said and walked by himself. However, after his third step, his body wobbled sidewards and he placed his right arm on the wall to his right to stabilize himself.

”Bro, look at you. You can't even walk right. Listen to me!” Dylan shouted.

”Fine.” Barry unwillingly said. Andrew grabbed his left arm and wrapped it around his back while Scott did the same with his right. The two then, assisted him downwards and to his room.

”The rest of you, go back to your rooms and rest.” Dylan looked at the boys who remained and ordered.

”Goodnight, sir. Rest well.” Jack and the other turned around and went back to their respective bedrooms.

”Goodnight.” Dylan smiled and waited for them to enter their rooms before entering his room.

...

”Those guys are such worrywarts.” Dylan scratched his head but a smile soon emerged in his face. He finally felt the warmth of having a family. Although he and his co-workers all treated him well and genuinely, there was still that gap it had from having a family.

”So this is what it feels to have a big family huh?” Dylan sighed as he stared at the night sky which was being lit up by three moons. His mind wondered off and reminisced the hardships he went through for his brother.

”Dale...”

Being an orphan, he never had anyone to take care of him. He, on the other hand, was the one who constantly look after his younger brother. He needed to be strong and independent for his brother.

That's why he worked day in and day out. When what he collected and sold was not enough to buy food for him and Dale. Dylan would resort to stealing bread and food just so that they would be able to fill their growling stomachs.

By the time Dylan was living in the streets, books were becoming more and more obselete for others as technology continued to advance. Whenever there were books that were being thrown away, Dylan would pick them up and read them. To others, it may be obselete but for Dylan, they were his opportunities to learn. He read countless books and learned by himself. He taught himself how to read and write.

After studying the books he had read, he would teach his little brother every little bit of knowledge he has.

After learning about business and management tricks, he was able to make his business develop from literally nothing at all to a one of the most prominent business in his time.

”Hahaha, got a little sidetracked there. But remembering these memories made me realize that my journey to the top is closely tied with learning, persevering to improve myself and providing for my own family.” Dylan had an epiphany as he thought of this.

”I need to focus and continue to strive to improve myself. Now that I'm done with the inner training, its time for my body strengthening training!” Dylan closed his eyes for a brief moment and removed all unnecessary thoughts.

When he opened his eyes, there was only steady calmness and concentration. Then, he began his training!

When Dylan was studying for the Noble Test, Dylan discovered that the Origin Transmutation Realm was also known as the Body Strengthening Realm.The mortal body cannot endure and contain the primal-level energy of Origin Realm Cultivators called Origin Energy. Thus, during this sub-realm, strengthening the body is as vital as the conversion of spirit energy to Origin Energy.

For certain percentages​ of Origin Energy conversion, there exists a corresponding body-strengthened level that needs to be attained. To be capable of enduring the first 20%, one must reach the Warrior Stage. To endure the 50%, one must reach the General Stage. To endure 100%, he/she must reach the King Stage.

In the Warrior stage, a cultivator is expected to have the strength comparable to a hundred mortals. In the General Stage, a cultivator would have the physical abilities of 200 mortals. While in the King Stage, a person is expected to have the physical strength of 500 mortals.

Some cultivation theorists even said that there are body-strengthened stages above the King level. There are 3 known theoretical stages above it. First, the Emperor Level​, where one would have the strength of 1000 men strong. Second, the Saint level, where one would have the strength of 3000 men strong! Lastly, the War God Level, where one has the strength comparable to a ten thousand men army!

Of course, they are only theories which have yet to be proven possible by either training or using magical treasures that allows the body to evolve!

Dylan does not have any of the High-grade Strengthening Manual that heirs and princes have. Hence, he could only compensate for hardwork and determination to become stronger!

”I need to improve my physical strength as early as now so that I won't be worrying about improving my physique later! My edge with other people is that I don't need to worry about constant refinement of energy due to my Supreme Core's Insta-conversion ability. Enabling me to focus my training time with strengthening my body and for comprehension of my techniques!” Dylan said as he was doing who knows how many push-ups already.

The training manual that Dylan was training on was called the 48 Basic Exercises. It has three levels. The beginner level is to do all exercises with 100 repitition each in just 12 hours! The intermediate level is by doing it 1000 times in 18 hours while the last level, the mastered level, was doing this exercises 10000 times in just one day!

It is said at the first level one would have reached the Warrior stage. At the second stage, one would reach the General Stage. At the last stage, the King Stage!

This is a proven method and could be done within all cultivation realms and even mortals! However, due to its stringent requirements and primitive nature of execution, most wouldn't practice it at all because the amount of time and effort that was given to it's practice would delay the cultivation of the practitioner.

This was exactly the reason why Dylan decided to train in this technique because it is a guaranteed way to reach the King Stage while still at Spirit Veins and the Supreme Core which excuses him from tireless refinement!

When he first practiced the 48 Basic Exercises, Dylan did not rush by immediately doing 100 repitions. He first ensured that he would be creating his foundations by doing 20 repititions each on his first week and increase it by 20 more each week that follows. Currently, he was doing 40 repititions for each exercise!

'From my speed, I would be able to reach Warrior Stage two or three weeks​ from now.' Dylan thought.

After reaching the Warrior Stage, Dylan planned to increase the repititions added by 100 for every week. So, he would reach the General Stage in 2 ½ months time. Around that time, he would also have officially reached the realm of Origin Transmutation!

”When I reach Origin Transmutation, I would have to add 1000 repititions each week so that in less than three months, I would be able to reach the King Stage and breakthrough to the 20th level Origin Transmutation... Oh, how could I forget? I would be level 25 by the time I reach the peak of that realm, hehe.” Dylan smiled evilly.

With his advantage of undergoing Ancestral Veins Realm, he would be able to dominate the next sub-realm despite being one sub-realm lower!
