My Muscles Adapt 10,000 Times Faster

The news of Tron's survival spread through the entire Manor.

The servants were all in awe of Tron's strong will to live. Three hits from an acolyte without dying was simply a miracle to them.

And due to the fact that the supervisor had given Tron a week to rest, the others dared not disturb him, including Kane.

As such, Tron finally had the opportunity to chase after his most desired dream wholeheartedly!

...

"Aunt Sethra, I'd like to take a walk at Bane Forest to relieve my boredom." Each day, Tron would head out of the shed early in the morning. On some days, he would wake up even earlier than Sethra.

"Ever since he escaped the calamity, he became even more active," Seghda said as she watched Tron disappear within the forest in the blink of an eye.

She didn't pay too much attention to it. As long as Tron could relax himself and forget the hatred, everything else would be fine.

Tron hadn't yet told Sethra of his recent increase in strength.

Firstly, what he desired the most was only the opportunity to participate in Darkbane Magical Academy's Entrance Exams in a month.

That was his predecessor and Sethra's greatest dream in their lives.

However, Tron wasn't too confident at the moment. After all, there was only a month to the entrance exam, and he had just started practicing.

He didn't want to give her false hope in case he wasn't able to enter.

Secondly, Tron didn't want to trouble her with his secret. It wasn't that he didn't trust her but even if he had regained the memories of the owner of this body, she was still a stranger to him.

In addition, this was a supernatural world, there are many ways to pry information out of people, even from the dead.

The scorching sun of the day had not yet risen to the sky, but Tron's shirt was already drenched in his sweat.

He was soaring through the forest and moving between trees like a breeze!

His 10 points in agility made him so fast he dashed through the forest like an apparition.

The ordinary human eye could barely keep up with his current speed and one would only see his blur.

Throughout the day, he almost didn't waste any moment as he trained hard.

"Huff puff..."

Heavy and rapid panting reverberated through the forest.

Tron used both of his arms to push himself upwards as he pushed through his limits.

Within him, his blood flowed through his body like a dam. One could vaguely hear the sounds of his heart, pounding like a war drum as veins popped out from underneath his skin like tattoos.

After becoming an Acolyte, his flesh and blood had completely transformed. At this moment, he didn't seem human at all, but more of a wild beast!

When the sun rose, his flesh started reflecting light and one could see a dark sheen glowing from his flesh, like an iron sheet.

Tron's body was getting stronger and more resilient by the second.

"Hu!"

The muscles in his arms reached their limit as he reached 700 push-ups.

"Again!"

Although he had no magical cortex, he could train his body and become a Mage, through pure strength and sheer will!

His arms at their true limits, he immediately stood up and then,

"Boom!"

The ground cracked as dust rose into the air. Immediately, he turned into a blur as he started his agility training.

He didn't stop even after completing the agility daily quest and only paused when he reached the edge of the Blood forest, his body, full of sweat.

"An acolyte is truly strong. Just the first circle alone and they possess the strength to cause devastating damages with the flick of their hands!"

However, it wasn't as easy as Tron made it out to be.

To become a mage, the most important step is to possess a magical cortex.

The magical cortex contains complex mysteries but it also releases a unique energy of brainwave.

Using a meditation method allows this unique brainwave to oscillate in different frequencies in accordance with the breathing technique recorded in various Meditation Technique books.

For example, the Seven Heart Rhythm, Simple Breath Flow technique given to the servants uses 7 rhythms of the heart, along with the breathing technique to spread the brain waves outward and attract mana into the body, slowly filling up the arcane cortex.

This is when one steps out of the ordinary and becomes extraordinary. They become a zero-mage.

Although zero mages can't cast true spells, they can cast Zero-level spells, which are simple body spells.

Spells like body-modifications, self-heal, Light Manipulation, Silence, scent masking or alteration, body-strengthening, self-purification, and many more.

Once the arcane energy had filled up the entire cortex, reaching (100%), the mana cortex would bloom, a spell model carved within it according to the meditation technique used, and a mana pool would be opened with the magical cortex as its center.

That is breaking through from zero-mage to a true mage apprentice.

The "mana pool" is the source of energy for all mages, like how machines need power sources to work. The immediate effect of the energy was that it could be used to change and interfere with the physical world. This was the root of spells.

There were other supernatural civilizations in general planes.

Some of them were as mighty as legendary Archmages.

Even then, they still thirsted for the arcane civilization because mana pool was supported by one's magical cortex found only in humans.

An acolyte's breakthrough to a Mage is actually a qualitative change in the mage's mana pool capacity. For instance, if we considered mana as water, an apprentice's mana pool was a glass which could hold a limited amount of water while the mana pool of a mage was a water tank. The improvement was very significant.

Mana source was something extremely important to mages. The basic condition to test someone's talent grade was if his or her mana pool could support the cost of casting a level-1 spell. Generally speaking, if someone could cast a level-1 spell independently, the mana pool of that acolyte mage should be large enough to cast the skill effectively without getting tìed.

Otherwise, they would not be able to sustain the spell at all.

Back to Tron, he was currently following the daily quest's routine to practice.

When he reached his limit in push-ups, he would persevere until his arms reached their absolute limit.

Afterward, he would immediately switch to sit-ups and when he reached his absolute limit and earned a few Stat points, he would switch to running.

The entire forest had become his training ground.
