My Muscle System in the Mage World

The process of circulating the lightning through his cells lasted for half an hour before it finally stopped.

At this time, Aur's body was entirely soaked in cold sweat.

It wasn't as bad as the first time he did it, which had left him on the verge of fainting, but there was still that soul-rending pain that numbed his nerves.

"Ho," Aur took deep breaths, trying to calm down as much as possible.

"Muscle system."

—

- Muscle mass: 20.0 (+) [Tier three (early)] - (Strengthened cells 1.42 billion/132 trillion)

- Life Level: 4.98 (+) [Tier one (33.34%)]

- Stat Points: 1

—

"As expected, there is no increment in my attribute points even though there should be, even if just a little. The more I progress, the more the strengthened cells increase by several times," Aur thought.

"I can still last for at least ten lightning to strengthen my cells."

He quickly sat down and started to recover his mana, using some mana recovery potions to speed up the process.

"Let's start again."

The lightning in the surroundings began to gather around Aur as he swiftly refined his cells to be strengthened. It was a long and strenuous process.

After the tenth time, Aur finally stopped.

"Muscle system."

—

- Muscle mass: 20.0 (+) [Tier three (early)] - (Strengthened cells 1.98 billion/132 trillion)

- Life Level: 4.98 (+) [Tier one (33.34%)]

- Stat Points: 1

"There is no change?" Aur's pupils flickered as he felt the changes in his body.

Although the limit of blood and Qi with his muscle and other strengthening of the body had increased, compared to his current form, it was like a drop in a bucket—not even enough to satisfy the itch in his body.

At this moment, he was already exhausted, and even his recovery was slightly slower.

"I should rest now, as expected. I could only endure the lightning eleven times, and if I pushed my body further, it would start to break down," Aur sighed. After reaching tier three, using the lightning to strengthen himself seemed to have become even more difficult. There wasn't even as much as a 0.01-point increase.

Thinking of this, he laid down some traps and took out the bed from his system before sleeping.

Of course, his vigilance was always raised. However, if there were some small animals, they could easily be taken care of by the traps. Why should Aur take action himself?

Just like that, a new morning began, and Aur woke up after six hours of sleep. This was because of the damage done to his body, which could be optimally recovered after a short time of sleep.

The dusty air of the cave immediately assailed his nose, the chirping of insects and the songs of birds vividly reached his ears.

Slowly getting up, Aur looked at the walls of the cave with a hint of indifference.

It didn't matter to him whether he woke up in a grand mansion or a poor cave made with his own hands; what mattered was his goal.

The first thing Aur did was to complete his daily quest, which had grown to an exaggerated amount.

[Quest: Daily]

- Run 1,000 km (incomplete)

- Push-ups 50,000 (incomplete)

- Squats 50,000 (incomplete)

- Plank 30 minutes (incomplete)

Aur quickly started to do push-ups, and the dirty smell from the cave floor became even more pungent.

He had dispelled the clean spell before, so he couldn't clean up the cave, and the ground was smelly.

With a frown on his face, Aur walked outside and began his daily quest. Although he could suppress his sense of smell, he saw no reason to remain in such a dirty place when he could be outside.

By the time he was done, he was already soaked in cold sweat, with the blood and Qi contained within his body without leaking out and causing the ground to melt.

"Sigh," Aur stretched his body as he took a cold bath, conjuring water with his mastery of the five elements.

Either way, it was the wilderness, so it didn't matter whether he was naked or not.

Slowly getting dressed again, Aur cast the Nature Harmony spell once more and began to attract the lightning elements, effectively strengthening his cells again.

Just like that, time passed, and he visibly progressed with every cell strengthened.

—

- Muscle mass: 20.01 (+) [Tier three (early)] - (Strengthened cells 2.64 billion/132 trillion)

- Life Level: 4.98 (+) [Tier one (33.34%)]

- Stat Points: 2

—

"Finally, some progress," Aur muttered, though his expression remained grim.

It had taken 1.32 billion strengthened cells to reach the tier two realm, but it took double that amount just to make a decimal progress?

He could feel his body's power had increased by around 20% overall.

"Is there really such a gap between tier three and tier four?" Aur took a sharp breath.

Tier four wizards could fly on their own with just a simple spell, leaving the earth behind, whereas tier three wizards were still bound to the ground. Even aerial spells couldn't help them ascend.

Shaking his head, Aur glanced at the panel again and allocated the two stat points into the Life level.

The moment he did, some chains inside him seemed to break, and his mind began to work rapidly. It felt as if his soul was rapidly growing along with it.

Inspiration filled his mind, and Aur's comprehension increased by a layer.

—

- Muscle mass: 20.01 (+) [Tier three (early)] - (Strengthened cells 2.64 billion/132 trillion)

- Life Level: 5.0 (+) [Tier one (66.67%)]

- Stat Points: 0

—

"Not bad. Using all the stat points on the Life level has shown its effect," Aur remarked.

Aur decided to put his increased comprehension to the test by delving into sound magic. In just a few hours, he had already grasped a complete spell, and now he could easily refine it further if he wanted.

After a rough calculation, Aur made an estimate that surprised him.

"My comprehension has increased by at least double."

Not only that, but other invisible aspects had also increased; it's just that they couldn't be measured so easily.
