6 Physical strength limit_1

```

Pei Jinye reflected on the state he had just experienced, and his heart filled with joy.

"Do I actually come equipped with a sense of scanning?"

"In the future, looking for light groups should be much easier."

Suppressing the elation in his heart, Pei Jinye discreetly surveyed his surroundings, and, seeing that no one was around, he nonchalantly made his way over.

The instant his fingers touched it, a cluster of information emerged in his mind.

[Stamina Limit +1]

He was stunned.

"Stamina limit?"

"It's not Gene Fragments?"

He hurriedly pulled up the attribute panel.

[Name]: Pei Jinye;

[Extraordinary Genes]: Psychic Type (1/3) (Fusion Genes: 0);

[Vitality Value]: 1.52;

[Stamina]: 1.1-2 (Average value for an ordinary person is 1)

[Skill]: Basic Breathing Method (Small Success 5%);

The Vitality Value had increased a bit, and there was a change.

"There's now a stamina attribute."

Vitality and physical strength are not the same concept, but it was understandable that the Vitality would fluctuate after an increase in physical strength.

The words following the Breathing Method had already changed according to Pei Jinye's will...

Pei Jinye fell deep into thought for a moment, "It seems I was thinking too narrowly before... If there can be stamina, perhaps in the future there will be special attributes like strength and so on. If so, after integrating them, wouldn't I be... even stronger than a God Spirit!"

The fluctuation in his stamina had considerably relieved the tiredness in his body.

Pei Jinye looked down at his fists thoughtfully and then turned back to the training ground.

There was already no one around, and although he wasn't sure if Lao Gou was secretly watching, Pei Jinye didn't care; he hadn't done anything out of the ordinary.

As if nothing had happened, he picked up the stone he had practiced with in the afternoon...

Indeed! The fifty-pound stone really felt much lighter in his hand.

"It's just a 1-point increase in the stamina limit, yet the effect is this noticeable. If I increase it more, wouldn't I..."

Pei Jinye felt a wave of excitement in his heart.

He also tried lifting a sixty-pound stone; it was still heavy but not with the same feeling of being completely unable to exert force like in the afternoon.

After practicing for a while and adapting to his new limit, Pei Jinye left, satisfied.

After he left.

A figure slowly emerged from the training ground, taking a drag from his tobacco pipe.

"Being young is good; I wonder if this novelty can last a couple of days."

He tapped his tobacco pipe.

Elder Chang placed his hands behind his back and slowly walked away.

...

It was after nine o'clock at night when Pei Jinye stepped onto the light rail train, his mood more carefree than ever.

For the past half month, he had been feeling uncertain and lost about his future, even feeling guilty for burdening his family.

But now, his mindset had changed.

His golden finger had awakened, and he had encountered a benefactor; his awakening was a done deal!

"There are still more good people in the world after all..."

The light rail train entered the tunnel, whistling as it passed.

The train shook for a moment.

Pei Jinye performed his usual inspection of the train; there was no coast, and that strange perception had not triggered, indicating that there really was nothing to be found.

He couldn't figure out what the triggering conditions for the Attribute Light Group were.

Were they random... or related to him?

Since he couldn't come up with an answer after serious thought, Pei Jinye didn't want to waste more time on it.

For him now.

```

The Bronze Association now was like an unexplored treasure, waiting for him to excavate.

"Drawing Blood Art" must be practiced, whether it was Ice Sister or Li Xiaoyin, the fact that their words were mostly favorable regarding the art was enough to demonstrate its marvellous effects.

Besides that... since Teacher Chang had said he was willing to teach techniques, then if he could show even a hint of his potential in the future, who knew what good techniques he could acquire.

Regarding techniques, Pei Jinye had searched online and found that ordinary techniques, whether with a knife or a sword, often sold for over ten thousand.

But what was really expensive was not the technique itself, but the exorbitant teaching fee.

"In the end, it's all because of money..."

Pei Jinye sat in a seat on the light rail train, his reflection in the window opposite him flickered in and out of sight.

"First, awaken, and earn the rewards of an Awakener!"

"Then take it one step at a time!"

...

21:47.

Pei Jinye finally rushed back to his tiny home of just ten square meters.

Father Pei and Mother Pei were sitting together, busy with some work in their hands.

Hearing the sound of the door, the elderly couple turned their heads to look.

Mother Pei got up first, discreetly took a glance at Pei Jinye's complexion, and kindly asked, "Have you eaten a bowl of rice? There is still some leftover food at home, let me heat it up for you."

Pei Jinye sighed in his heart.

The more Mother Pei did this, the more he felt guilty.

He pretended to say casually, "I already ate before coming back."

"Then go wash up, there's hot water in the teapot."

Mother Pei watched Pei Jinye go to freshen up before returning to her low stool to sit down again.

The old couple glanced at each other.

Mother Pei pouted and shook her head; Father Pei suddenly spoke up, chuckling as he probed, "Xiaoye, will you eat at home this week? I saw some big carps on the street, how about I make you some braised fish on the weekend? Add some Sichuan pepper, it's really tasty."

Pei Jinye paused in the motion of looking for a basin.

Turning his head back with a smile on his face, he said, "That's from so long ago, I don't like eating fish anymore."

"What about braised pork ribs then?" Mother Pei carefully asked from the side.

Pei Jinye pretended not to notice the elderly couple's probing, guessing they must think he encountered some problem at school; on top of that, they were in huge debt after selling the house, so they were also worried that he might be having negative thoughts, and that was why they had been so considerate recently.

After Pei Jinye finished washing up, he too sat down, facing the tentative looks from Father Pei and Mother Pei, he said with a smile, "I might not be home for meals on the weekend."

"Do you have an appointment?" The elderly couple looked over cautiously, even pausing in their shelling of edamame.

Pei Jinye also grabbed a handful to help, saying offhandedly, "I got into a trance by accident today, and the teachers at school said I have good aptitude, they want to give me extra practice in the coming days, for free."

Father Pei and Mother Pei looked at each other.

Good aptitude...?

Pei Jinye acted as if he hadn't seen their reaction: "I want to give it a try."

Father Pei and Mother Pei looked at each other, not quite sure how to react.

Father Pei pondered for a while before finally making a decision, "Alright, you can decide for yourself on this. But, as I always say, only do what you can handle, and don't put too much pressure on yourself. I'm not that old yet, I won't let your mother and you go hungry, so don't feel burdened. In cultivating, you must maintain a calm mindset, as the saying goes, 'More haste, less speed'."

Pei Jinye nodded, responding with a mature smile, "I know, Dad."

Just after ten o'clock at night.

After the lights were out, Pei Jinye went to rest in a partitioned area.

In a small room of just over ten square meters, nearly half the space was left for him.

He lay with his arm under his head, looking at the moon that was half-veiled by clouds... This debt of gratitude he owed to his elderly parents, he could only cherish it in his heart for now.

"I must become stronger, no matter what!"

...

Early the next day.

At 7:10 in the morning.

When Pei Jinye returned home from his morning run, breakfast that Mother Pei had prepared was already laid out on the table. The elderly couple had probably set out to sell breakfast around 6 o'clock.

Running for over an hour didn't tire him too much, but he was quite hungry.

After drinking a few sips of warm water to soothe his stomach, Pei Jinye began to wolf down the rolled pancakes.
