Beng Hun baby!
Beng Hun was now training his pullup. Feng Shu was looking for some sort of pull up bar that would allow them to do it regardless of the weight.
[Hmm... the trees around us look perfect for a pull up bar. On the map, this place is called the Mystical Thunder Forest. I would believe these trees are pretty strong. There is also a yellow dot a good distance in front of us. Wonder what that is?]
Feng Shu signals Beng Hun and points him to a tree branch.
"Ok Beng Hun, I want you to go up there and try to hang on those branches."
"How do I get up there?"
"I'll help you."
Feng Shu picked up Beng Hun and walked over to the trees.
[Holy crap, this guy is too fat! My back is about to break.]
"Now hang over it, quick. My back is about to break..."
"Eeeeya~!"
Beng Hun hanged on it for 5 seconds and fell, but the tree branch didn't shake at all.
"Ok, this is good. But, we probably need something to get you up there. Let's see here..."
Feng Shu looked around. There was nothing he could use.
"Feng Shu, think of it as training. You will get used to my weight!"
"You're right! Once you get older, your fatness will pierce the heavens!"
"That is mean..."
"Sorry, just a little joke. Embrace the fatness haha! Somehow, I think it would help with your skill..."
Beng Hun realized he should learn about his skill after what Feng Shun said. He opened his system.
<Beng Hun>

<Passive Skill: Overbearing Weight (Unlocked at Level 3)>
<You are on your journey to become the strongest fatty.>
<All your attacks are now increased by how much you weigh after 250 lbs.>
<Tier 1>
For some reason, Beng Hun felt offended by these skills. But it made him stronger so he didn't mind as much.
"Feng Shu what does your skill do?"
"Oh right, I got to read them. Let me see."
<Active Skill: Heavenly Demon Spirit (Unlocked at Level 2)>
<You have inherited the will of the Heavenly Demon.>
<You reflect the Heavenly Demon during the beginning of his journey, conjuring his spirit. Your attacks are enhanced based on the tier. Injuries during this 5 minute buff will immediately heal. Let it eat to grow stronger.>

<Your regeneration is remarkably increased as a result of your Heavenly Demon's Fortitude. You are more stubborn and can take more attacks as a result of the Heavenly Demon's influence.>
<Tier 1>
[Let it eat...?]
"To make it simple to understand, I basically have one that increases my attack and another that increases my regeneration and endurance."
"Amazing! Before I take a step, I have to use it which launches anyone who gets caught in the shockwave up. There is also another one that increases my attack based on how much I weigh. Although, it seems I am destined to be a fatty forever..."
Feng Shu laughed.
"I'm telling you, embrace the fatness!"
Beng Hun sighed. He didn't like his fatness, because it would hinder him. But he was conflicted, as it was now the source of his strength. He made up his mind.
"I will be the 𝘗𝘦𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘍𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘺!"
The system opened soon after. Beng Hun read what it said.
<Title gained: Peerless Fatty>
<You will be the fattest one that shows the world.>
<Buff: Weight increases by 5 kg every week.>
"Haha! I like that. Beng Hun the Peerless Fatty, has a ring to it."
"Feng Shu, after I said that I got a title in my system that said 'Peerless Fatty'. It increases my weight by 5 kg every week...."
"How?"
"I do not know. I just said it. I was conflicted whether I wanted to embrace the fatness like you said. I wanted to lose weight for the feeling of fat has been presented through out my life. But now it made me stronger. So I decided at the end that I will become even more fat."
Feng Shu was thinking. How did Beng Hun receive a title with just simple words? He knew that he had a struggle with accepting if he wanted to be fat or not. Was a struggle needed for a title? Do you need to will out the title to appear? Did it have to do with your character?
"I will be the Godly Bow then."
No system message appeared.
"Did it work Feng Shu?"
"No. I will try to say another, the One Who Lives."
Nothing appeared again.
"What was that title for?"
"Well its because I transmigrated to your brother's body and now he is basically alive even though he got pierced in the heart. I apologize though if I make it seem like it is nothing."
"It is fine, I am not offended."
Feng Shu paused for a moment before continuing on.
"Ok what about..... I will be the Heavenly Demon."
Feng Shu's system finally opened to reveal the title.
<Title gained: Heavenly Demon.>
<You will be the Heavenly Demon and change the world.>
<Buff: ???>
"It worked! But I'm not sure what it does. there are question marks that reveals nothing."
Feng Shu sighed. He didn't know why this title was chosen instead of the others. He wouldn't mind if it gave him an excellent buff but there were question marks that made him disappointed. At the same time, he was excited because he thought the buff would be something extraordinary if revealed in the future. Conflicted and bewildered, he emptied his mind.
"Well Beng Hun, we have talked for too long. Let us get back to training!"
"Yes!"
Feng Shu made Beng Hun hang on the trees everyday. He would only hang on it for 5 seconds at a time in the beginning, so Feng Shu made him do a lot of hangs. Callouses also formed against this harsh regime for someone like Beng Hun.
"My hands are bleeding!"
"Don't worry about it, your hands will get used to it and have a way to deal with it."
Beng Hun eventually got better at hanging. Feng Shu also incorporated negative and scapular pullups to get the necessary strength for Beng Hun to go down. Feng Shu worried for Beng Hun's title buff that made him increase weight every week, as these exercises get harder the more you weigh. He looked at how he changed after 1 week.
"Beng Hun, it has been 1 week. Let us see how this will affect your pull ups."
Beng Hun went onto the tree. He didn't feel different. When he tried to pull up, he instantly did 1.
<Okay Pullup: Beng Hun! 1/1>
<Completed! Rewarded: 100 EXP. Splitted between Beng Hun and Feng Shu 70% each.>
[Huh???]
Feng Shu and Beng Hun were surprised.
"Beng Hun.. how did you do that?"
"I do not know... I just felt like I was strong enough to do it."
"Try some other movements."
Up to this point, Beng Hun had been doing his other exercises on top of pull ups. Feng Shu wanted to see how his performance changed. Beng Hun increased his push ups from 5 to 12, and squats from 15 to 25.
"Wow Beng Hun, I would have thought your buff would make you fatter because of the weight increase. It seems like that would also include muscle! What a strong buff that title is."
"Being a fatty is really the best I can see now. I have been shortsighted, like the frog in the well."
"Me too. Makes me a little jealous since I don't know what my title does. But it doesn't matter. We must keep working hard.... and smart."
"Agreed!"
They continued to train for a month.
