Chapter 12 - Chapter Twelve, Edurance And Perseverance

  "In that case, while I'm brewing the herbs, do five hundred squats!"

  With that, Mighty unceremoniously placed Jin on the ground, showing no regard for Jin's exhausted body.

  The moment his feet touched the ground, a wave of weakness washed over him, and Jin nearly stumbled and fell…

  "Ah!"

  Jin roared as he steadied himself, as if all his strength was focused on standing. Every bit of weight on his body was immense torture for him. Even so, Mighty showed no mercy, simply continuing to toss the herbs into the clay pot, brewing pot after pot of thick broth.

  "How could I possibly give up!?"

  Jin gritted his teeth, his knees slightly bent, his entire body slowly sinking like a rusty robot: "One!"

  His already extremely fatigued body reached its limit even after just one squat. Strands of strength emerged from Jin's limbs and bones like weeds sprouting from cracks in the rocks.

  "Ha!"

  Jin exhaled sharply, then did another squat: "Two!"

  This time, Jin didn't rely on his newly gained strength to unleash it, but instead conserved his power, advancing steadily one squat after another.

  "Hoo hoo hoo~~ Twelve!"

 Jin exhaled deeply, long streams of air forming a white mist that permeated the air. After the first limit, his newly gained strength had completely dissipated, but a new limit had not yet appeared. Jin stood blankly in place, his gaze gradually becoming vacant, his body nearing collapse.

  The continuous limit training had caused Jin's spirit to loosen slightly...

  But just then, a thunderous voice rang in Jin's ears.

  "Endurance and perseverance are the only way to surpass a genius!"

  Mighty roared, "Don't lose your will, your body hasn't reached its limit yet!"

  "That's right..."

  Jin snapped out of his daze, his small face flushed red, and his trembling, fair legs slowly bent down once more.

  "Thirteen!"

  When Jin stood up again, a different kind of light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

  "The limit! It's appeared again!"

  This time, he finally persevered to the second limit!

  "Fourteen!"

  Jin roared as he crossed the second limit, and newfound power emerged once more. Jin felt as if he had been reborn; he could clearly feel that he had made a new breakthrough!

  "The data is calculated by this system based on a healthy adult!"

  The system's calm voice reassured Jin for the first time...

  "This '1' in strength means I already possess the strength of an adult?"

  Jin laughed as he collapsed, completely drained of strength. But before he could fall, Mighty reached out and picked him up, quickly stripped him naked, and tossed him into a huge ceramic jar.

  In a semi-conscious state, Jin felt countless warm, herbal-scented currents surge in, enveloping him completely...
