He swallowed the second pill.
Gao Neng once again saw the caps for his Energy and Spiritual Power continuously rising, while his current levels plumted. In no ti, he heard the system’s chanical voice.
"BEEP. Host’s Energy cap has reached 300. Do you wish to begin breaking the second human limit now?"
"Break through!"
Gao Neng didn’t hesitate this ti.
As soon as he gave the command, he felt a searing pain. Then, the rate at which his current Energy was dropping began to accelerate.
’Ti for calisthenics!’
Gao Neng had experience with this now. He imdiately began his youthful calisthenics.
BOOM!
A powerful force slamd into his bones. This ti, he didn’t pass out, but the pain was clearly more intense than the first ti.
’It would be better to just pass out at this point.’
He gritted his teeth.
A quarter of an hour later, large amounts of black impurities once again seeped from his entire body. The drop in his Energy and Spiritual Power finally stopped, and a new attribute panel appeared before his eyes.
Energy: 150/303 (Successfully broke the second human limit. Aptitude rating: Excellent. Energy cultivation speed increased by 35%)
Spiritual Power: 94/185 (Successfully broke the second human limit. Aptitude rating: Excellent. Spiritual Power cultivation speed increased by 38%)
’My Energy rating went from Good to Excellent, but my Spiritual Power rating is still Excellent?’ Gao Neng was a little confused, but he still went to the bathroom and turned on the tap to rinse off.
’The "Excellent" rating must cover a range of values.’
’For example, a stat of 150 is Excellent, and 180 is also Excellent. But if it reaches 200 or higher, maybe the rating would be even better?’
That was Gao Neng’s rough guess.
However, he rembered that when he broke the first human limit, his Energy cultivation speed increased by 20%, and his Spiritual Power cultivation speed increased by 17%. Now, his Spiritual Power cultivation speed had increased by 38%, even faster than his Energy. This must have been related to taking the Soul Tempering Pill.
Gao Neng clenched his fists, taking a mont to feel the change.
Although his Energy cap had only increased by 100 points and his Spiritual Power cap by 34 points, his physical strength and Spiritual Power had both seen a decent increase. All things considered, he was quite satisfied.
’Following this logic...’
’To break the third human limit, will I need at least four Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills?’
After showering, Gao Neng lay down on his bed. He hadn’t slept for two consecutive nights and was sowhat exhausted, so he decided to take a short nap.
...
「Ti: 2:00 PM.」
In the conference room of the Third Senior High School, the eting presided over by Shen Ning’Er officially began.
No one objected to the establishnt of the Superintendent Committee. Shen Ning’Er also expressed her approval, as it was, after all, the Alliance’s intention.
However, there was so dispute regarding the choice of president.
So proposed Li Qingping for the position. Others suggested Principal He Lin from the First Senior High School, since its teaching quality had ranked first for many years.
Of course, there were also those who thought they could try a different approach. For example, why not let Principal Xue Jingjing from the Girls’ High School preside for one term to see how it goes?
Opinions were divided.
Finally, a consensus was reached.
The presidency would go to the school that produced this year’s top scorer in the college entrance exams. No one objected. In fact, Principal He Lin of the First Senior High School was all for it.
...
「Ti: 7:00 PM.」
In the slums of the Forgotten Land, a stray cat appeared. It had a coat of silver fur and two eyes as deep blue as the sea, giving it an extrely regal appearance.
The stray cat strutted along the rooftops, taking leisurely little steps until it reached the largest garbage dump in the slums.
It leaped down from the rooftop, light and agile.
Then, it let out an imperious cry.
"OW!!!"
SHWISH SHWISH SHWISH!
In an instant, a good forty to fifty stray cats shot out from every corner of the garbage dump, and every single one of them fixed their eyes on the silver cat.
"ow!"
"ow ow ow..."
The ows of the stray cats rose from all around.
Finally, an enormous black cat leaped down from a high point in the garbage dump. The fur on its entire body stood on end, and its two eyes glowed with a vicious green light.
"OW!!!" The black cat’s cry was incomparably domineering.
"What are you owing for, you blockhead? From this day on, I’m the king here!" the silver cat said, speaking human language as it glanced disdainfully at the black cat.
"..." The black cat froze for a mont.
The other stray cats also stared at the silver cat as if it were a monster.
Soon enough, however, the black cat’s gaze turned fierce once more. It placed its two paws in front of it, lowered its body, and its black fur stood on end again.
"OW!!!" The black cat leaped up and pounced toward the silver cat.
One pounce, two pounces, three pounces...
Its speed was like lightning.
It covered the twenty-ter distance in less than six pounces, arriving right in front of the silver cat.
"ow!"
The black cat cried out, swiping its two claws at the silver cat.
And then...
It saw a hamr.
That’s right. A hamr had appeared out of nowhere in the silver cat’s paw, and it was swinging it down toward the black cat’s head.
THUNK!
The black cat collapsed to the ground.
"How boring. I didn’t even get to use my wrench." The silver cat glanced unenthusiastically at the black cat lying on the ground, then pulled out a wrench and tapped it on the black cat’s head.
"ow!"
"ow ow ow!"
A few more stray cats made their move.
Seven or eight of them surrounded the silver cat from four directions.
But the silver cat simply stood on its hind legs like a human, a hamr in its left paw and a wrench in its right. It looked like a peerless overlord, completely fearless.
In no ti at all...
All seven or eight stray cats were lying on the ground.
"From now on, I, this Cat, am the Cat King here. Do you submit or not?" The silver cat had a smile on its face as its deep blue eyes scanned its surroundings.
"ow..."
All the stray cats finally prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling.
"Very good. Now, go find the Cat Kings of the other five districts and challenge them. In three days, tell them to co here to settle who’s the boss. I’m not just going to be your Cat King, but the Cat King of the entire Forgotten Land. Understand?" the silver cat declared, radiating dominance.
"ow!" The stray cats were ecstatic.
’This is a powerhouse!’
’A genuine powerhouse!’
...
At 7:40 PM, Xu Zilan dragged her exhausted legs to her front door. She took out her keys, ready to open it, but just then, a silver flash leaped down from the roof.
"ow!"
The keys were snatched away.
Xu Zilan froze, looking down at her feet.
A ter away from her, a stray cat with all-silver fur was holding the keys in its mouth, blinking its deep blue eyes as it stared at her.
"Oh? Where did this cat co from? Are you hungry? There’s a good kitty. I’ll open the door and get you sothing to eat. Can you give the keys first, please?" Xu Zilan said with a gentle smile.
The silver stray cat gave an adorable nod and actually placed the keys at Xu Zilan’s feet. Then, it wrapped its two paws tightly around her legs.
"What an intelligent cat. I wonder who it belongs to. Co on in. The house is a bit of a ss, though." Xu Zilan was montarily stunned again by the silver cat’s adorable appearance, but she quickly recovered and stroked its head.
CREAK!
The door opened.
The silver cat instantly leaped inside, then bounded over to the table in another leap. Its eyes suddenly took on a pitiful look, because the two bowls of food on the table were completely clean, without a single grain of rice left.
"It’s okay, I’ll make you so more." Xu Zilan’s smile grew wider. She then glanced toward the inner room. "Gao Neng, are you sleeping or doing your howork?"
"Mom, you’re back! I just woke up..." Gao Neng, dressed in his pajamas, pushed open the door to the inner room. Then, he saw a silver cat sitting primly by the table.
The silver cat, naturally, also saw Gao Neng.
However, it didn’t panic at all. On the contrary, it acted completely familiar, winking at Gao Neng before raising its paws to preen its whiskers.
"ow..."
Its face was the very picture of innocence.
