Chapter 313: 50 Constitution, The Fleshly Vessel
Although he had just received the Grandmaster Level attribute reward, Fang Cheng did not immediately revel in the joy of choosing attribute allocation.
He took a deep breath, forcibly calming his agitated emotions, and glanced vigilantly around.
The day was already fully lit.
The old tubular building underfoot, along with the surrounding buildings of varying heights, were clearly bathed in the morning light.
On the street, sounds from early risers resounded.
The honking of cars, the calls of breakfast vendors, the crisp ringing of bicycle bells intertwined, forming the symphony of a city awakening, faintly floating up to the Roof Terrace.
Fang Cheng raised his hand and glanced at the sports watch on his wrist.
6:53.
The time was about right; his mother should be getting up soon.
Fang Cheng quickly gathered the scattered training equipment on the Roof Terrace, then moved them quietly and quickly descended the stairs.
Upon returning home and opening the door, sure enough, his mother, Li Biyun, was already up.
She was wearing simple home clothes, busy in the kitchen, preparing breakfast.
The porridge boiling in the pot emitted a faint rice fragrance.
His mother worked as a caregiver in a hospital, accustomed to rising early and unable to remain idle even at home.
"Chengcheng, back from training? Quickly wash up, breakfast is almost ready."
Li Biyun saw her son drenched in sweat, smiling without questioning further.
"Got it, Mom."
Fang Cheng responded, placed the equipment in a corner of the living room, and dashed into the bathroom.
He turned on the faucet, letting the icy tap water splash on him, dispelling the heat and fatigue from the morning workout.
While wiping his body, he focused his attention on the panel.
[Strength: 40]
[Agility: 40]
[Constitution: 46]
[Spirit: 50]
[Free Attribute Points: 12]
His gaze swept across the four main attributes, finally resting on the "Constitution" section.
With the Spirit attribute reaching 50 points,
Fang Cheng could distinctly feel a qualitative leap in sensory acuity, cognitive clarity, and control over his physical state.
So, what change would breaking the Constitution threshold at 50 points bring?
Fang Cheng contemplated how to allocate the points.
A strong Constitution implies stronger bodily defenses, faster recovery rates, and superior endurance.
These are crucial foundations for any combat scenario.
Especially for executing "Infinite Continuous Punching," a move demanding immense physical load; possessing a robust physique is undoubtedly a huge advantage.
After all, delivering consecutive punches beyond the supersonic limit requires not only explosive Strength and extreme Agility.
It also necessitates a powerful body capable of withstanding the terrifying counter-force and energy shock.
And Constitution is the cornerstone of all this.
With a bit of deliberation, Fang Cheng made his decision.
"First, increase Constitution to 50 points!"
With a mental command, the number representing "Free Attribute Points" on the panel instantly jumped from "12" to "8".
Correspondingly, 4 free attribute points silently integrated into "Constitution".
As the progress bar surged upwards, a warm yet mighty energy erupted from the deepest part of his body.
Like rivers thawing in spring, it swiftly flowed to his limbs and bones.
In the warmth of this current, every cell seemed to cheer and exclaim joyfully.
Muscles, bones, organs... every part of his body, nourished by abundant vitality, underwent a curious and profound transformation.
Fang Cheng clenched his fist, sensing distinctly now that his muscle fibers had become more resilient, his bone density quietly increasing.
The function of his internal organs was significantly enhanced, and his heart beat more steadily and forcefully.
This feeling was completely different from the previous breakthroughs of Strength or Agility at 40 points, marked by violent expansion or extreme compression.
It was more of a life essence elevation, a holistic enhancement from inside out.
After a moment, as the warm current subsided, the Constitution attribute settled firmly at the number "50".
Fang Cheng carefully felt the changes in his body.
He found that the overall reaction from this Constitution breakthrough to 50 points lacked the tumultuous upheaval of any previous attribute breaking the 40-point mark.
It seemed very natural, as if it was meant to be.
"Based on past experiences, 20 points is a supernatural threshold, 40 points a major human limit."
"Then, could the next qualitative change threshold be 60 points?"
Fang Cheng muttered thoughtfully.
Just then, his eyes suddenly focused, as if sensing something.
His gaze involuntarily turned towards the area below his abdomen, the Dantian position.
Under introspection.
It was still a vast and boundless, tranquil blue ocean.
As for the searing red glow beneath this serene marine depth, reminiscent of molten lava,
it still simmered like a dormant underwater volcano, stealthily surging with intense and abundant energy.
Everything seemed the same as usual.
The only difference was...
The water level of this "ocean" had noticeably dropped.
"Has the total amount of True Qi... decreased?"
Fang Cheng furrowed his brow slightly.
This discovery surprised him.
He recollected briefly.
A while back, due to using Qigong against formidable enemies and subsequent healing reasons, he did consume quite a lot of True Qi.
But every time he returned home, he would immediately take out the Ancient Relics from the safe, promptly absorbing energy radiation to replenish the deficit.
