Maron picked up the food container and shoved the strengthened meat into his mouth.

“David, why isn’t it Level-1 strengthened meat? The results of strengthened meat from larvae are too poor!” he complained to David while eating.

“Maron, you could have brought your own Level-1 strengthened meat. Don’t say such things while eating my food!” David retorted in displeasure.

“You’re right! I’m going to call home and get them to send over some Level 1 strengthened meat!” Maron said with a smile, his eyes lighting up.

David shook his head. He could tell that Maron was just trying to use those words to have the Level 1 strengthened meat delivered to David’s residence without making his host lose face.

In fact, if not for fear of exposure, the credit points that David now had in hands were more than enough for him to buy some Level 1 strengthened meat for cultivation. However, since Maron had taken the initiative and offered to send some over, he decided to take him up on the offer and consider the meat as Maron’s lesson fees.

Anyway, it was just peanuts to Maron, the heir of an official.

“David, it’s your turn!” Galen instructed, having waited for the two to end their conversation.

“Yes, Uncle Galen!” David responded with a nod.

He was actually very excited to do it and intended for Galen to give him some pointers.

He walked to the center of the gym and stood still, after which he activated all of his power, a wisp of heat emitting from his body.

Maron did not feel anything, but the bright-eyed Galen stared at David with a deadly gaze.

His 99% Beginner eighteen movements of Bodywork was already the most extreme level that a non-armorer could reach. Those who could reach the Intermediate level before becoming an armorer were considered monsters.

Galen had not expected to meet a teenager who was on the verge of a breakthrough in Bodywork, especially in a small place like Pelan City. On top of that, the teenager was the child of his close friend.

“Damn it Hans, how blind are you? A genius like your son only has 600 kilograms of strength because he doesn’t have the proper resources! If he had those resources, he would have become an armorer by now!” Galen muttered to himself as he watched David begin practicing the eighteen movements of Bodywork.

The reason that Galen said that was because the eighteen movements of Bodywork were the foundation for everything else. Once one had improved in Bodywork, their physique would improve as well.

In Galen’s opinion, David’s current issue was the lack of resources, as his consumption could not keep up with his improvement. Hence, David could only continuously practice Bodywork to make its level exceed the rate of growth of his physique.

However, the vast majority of people were unable to improve their eighteen movements of Bodywork, causing their bodies to be overloaded with energy. As a result, their physiques could not continue to grow.

Maron was a typical example. Although he had sufficient resources, he could not go further because of the eighteen movements of Bodywork.

David was still continuing to practice Bodywork, going through all eighteen movements one by one, slowly and firmly. Each movement came with a surge of heat, which was the manifestation of the mobilization of a large number of body functions. It could be said that the consumption required for each movement was double that of Maron’s.

Hence, David was drenched in sweat and his physical strength was depleting rapidly.

By the time the tenth movement began, his movements had slowed down.

Galen turned and a shadow appeared beside David. The rapid speed made Maron feel as if he had seen a phantom.

David’s physical strength could still support the movements, but due to the fact that he had to try his best to ensure that his muscles and bones were coordinated, he had no choice but to slow down his movements. However, after slowing down, he began to find that the difficulty of performing the eighteen movements of Bodywork had increased.

The fourteenth movement was the limit David had previously reached. His body began to tremble slightly, feeling as if he would fail at any moment.

At this moment, Galen smacked David’s body, and when he felt that his muscles and skeletons were out of control, he managed to control his coordination successfully.

He managed to perform the fourteenth movement, after which he instinctively continued practicing the fifteenth movement.
