Wang Zheng guessed that this must be the medicinal liquid that needed to be used in conjunction with the body-refining method of external martial arts.

Sitting in the pool, he didn't feel any pain, but he felt a chill all over his body, as if countless spiritual energies were surging into his body, and he instantly felt a little bloated.

Wang Zheng glanced at his data panel and saw that the spiritual energy value was rising rapidly, like a speedometer.

390, 400, 500, 700, 999.

It instantly surged to the 999-point limit.

Only then did he feel a little better, and the feeling of being stretched and bloated disappeared.

Wang Zheng kept looking around and noticed that the pool water was becoming less murky, and the expressions of the students around him had also become much more relaxed.

At this moment, an instructor shouted, "Where's the body-strengthening fluid? Why is it taking so long? Has it not been supplied yet? Or are there too many students? It's almost lost its effectiveness!"

The instructor in charge of pouring the medicine into another pool also felt wronged: "How could there not be enough? I have always followed the instructions and supplied the full amount. It doesn't make sense."

Then he looked into the large swimming pool and saw that the water was indeed becoming clear and transparent. He scratched his head and poured the huge bucket of medicine into it.

Wang Zheng naturally overheard the instructors' conversation and had already discovered the secret behind it.

So he could no longer suppress his desires, and this time he really made a fortune!

However, at this moment, Wang Zheng was also torn between his own mind and his inner thoughts.

It wasn't that he had a change of heart and didn't want to exploit people anymore; rather, he was torn between waiting until he returned to replenish his remaining spirit and agility before absorbing the spiritual energy to boost his attributes, or activating the skills now.

As for raising his Spirit and Agility to 40 points right now, he wouldn't dare!

After all, the noise he made when his constitution was at 40 points almost clogged his sewer.

It seems that every 10 points of these attribute points is a threshold, and something unexpected always seems to happen.

After hesitating for a long time, Wang Zheng slapped himself hard.

Forget it, who knows if there will be a next time? It's stupid not to take advantage of a good deal. What if there's a lot of this stuff in stock? After I use up all the skills, I can come back again. What if I don't seize this opportunity and there won't be a next time? I'll lose a lot of money.

Having found a reason for himself, Wang Zheng suddenly felt confident, opened the data panel, and stretched out his wicked little hand.

First, cast Holy Light!

The newly raised spiritual energy limit started to decline again, instantly deducting 500 points.

Then his spiritual energy limit began to slowly increase again, and Wang Zheng immediately continued to add points.

Add Thornheart to my list!

300 points of spiritual energy will be deducted from the maximum limit.

Keep adding!

Another 400 points of spiritual energy were deducted from the maximum limit.

Then the Heart of Thorns can no longer be upgraded, and the "+" sign has disappeared.

Wang Zheng guessed that it might take until all attributes reached level 40 before higher level caps could be unlocked, since this system had always been like this, with all five attributes being fixed.

As for why I'm not upgrading to Strength and Constitution A-level now, it's simply because the cost-effectiveness isn't high.

He had already realized this after returning from the training camp: if he wanted to bypass the attribute restrictions and maximize his strength, then adding points to both Strength and Constitution would be a complete waste of spiritual energy.

Wang Zheng quickly did some mental calculations.

Based on past upgrade experience, this upgrade to A-rank Strength and Constitution will require 500 points of maximum Spirit Energy.

However, due to the "weakest link" effect, once all attributes reach 40, a single attribute can only be increased to a maximum of 60 points.

The current bonus for both Strength and Constitution is 80%.

According to his previous plan, when his physique is 50 points and 60 points, the corresponding strength is 68 and 76 points respectively.

His current physique is 40 points and his strength is 50 points (18+32).

If you add one level to Strength and Constitution, the extra bonus becomes 90%, then Strength will be 54 (18+36).

After all attributes reach 40, adding points to Strength will bring it to 60 (24+36). Then, adding points to Constitution will bring Strength to 69 (24+45).

If you continue to increase your Constitution to 60 points, your Strength will correspondingly become 78 points (24 + 54).

It only adds 1 point and 2 points respectively, which is not worth it at all.

Therefore, unless all other skills are maxed out, I won't consider adding strength and constitution to my build at the moment.

Seeing his spiritual energy limit slowly increase again, Wang Zheng immediately cast Holy Light spell, instantly deducting another 600 spiritual energy points.

Then the murky pool water began to clear up again.

Seeing that the second bucket of body-strengthening liquid had been completely absorbed, the instructor in charge of pouring the liquid could no longer hold back.

This group of students is too strange. Two whole barrels of body-strengthening liquid were poured in, but they didn't make a ripple at all and disappeared without a trace.

We can't pour any more out. This body-tempering liquid is extremely precious; it was all exchanged from the Imperial Capital Research Institute at the expense of the four schools.

If another one collapses, there won't be enough students to go on.

Then the instructor waved his hand, about to kick all the new students out.

Wang Zheng, of course, was unaware of the preciousness of the medicinal liquid, and was still pretending to be aggrieved, shouting, "I just soaked in it! I haven't absorbed anything yet! Give me another soak!"
