Wang Zheng felt as if his heart was bleeding.
I'm completely fed up with this loss.
It's such a waste to put points into Strength and Constitution in the early game. It costs 200 points of Spirit to put points into this skill, and now it only adds 2 points of Strength. If you used it to add attributes, that would be a full 20 attribute points!
"I'm such an S13! I should have realized this sooner. Skill increases just increase stats. In the early stages, percentage increases are far less worthwhile than directly increasing attributes."
Wang Zheng was now preoccupied with how to cut his losses in time, so he took the opportunity to absorb the spiritual energy crystals he hadn't finished absorbing before, which added another 50 points, bringing his total to 249 points.
Looking at the three spiritual energy crystals he had obtained by selling himself for four years in college, which he had completely absorbed, Wang Zheng curled his lips. Earning spiritual energy was so difficult, but spending it was so fast. He might as well add all the remaining points to his physical strength.
Wang Zheng clicked on the physique attribute five times in a row, and the data panel fluctuated again instantly.
Stamina: 200/200
Spiritual Energy Value: 199/199
Physical condition: 20
Strength: 21
Intelligence: 8+
Spirit: 7+
Agility: 8+
Heart of Thorns (After being hit by an attack, it reflects 20% of the attack damage back to the attacker, and adds 2% of the attacker's HP as attribute damage.)
Strength and Constitution both A-level (adds an extra 60% to Strength based on Constitution)
After increasing Constitution to 20, I found that although I still had 199 points of Spiritual Energy, there were no more plus signs after Constitution, and my Strength also reached 21 points, so I couldn't increase it any further.
If there's no way to improve it for now, then let's save it for later. Wang Zheng was still reluctant to add points to other attributes, since adding points to Constitution only resulted in a 1.6x growth rate, and if there were other linked skills in the future, adding points now would be a waste.
Wang Zheng figured he had nothing else to do, so he decided to check out the boxing gym his dad had contacted the day before. He started running towards Boyue Boxing Gym on Yanjiang East Road. The distance wasn't far, just over 2 kilometers, and Wang Zheng quickly arrived at the gym entrance.
Upon entering, Wang Zheng noticed that the first floor was likely a rest and entertainment area for members. Apart from the cashier at the entrance, there were several sofas and coffee tables in the other space, and further inside there were entertainment facilities such as a pool table.
Wang Zheng walked straight to the cashier. Perhaps because it was a weekday afternoon and there weren't many people, the cashier was asleep. Wang Zheng tapped the counter with his finger, and the cashier was immediately awakened.
"Hello, welcome to Boyue Boxing Gym. Do you have an appointment?"
"My name is Wang Zheng. I made an appointment with Uncle Qian yesterday, and he told me to come today and just give him my name."
"Okay, Mr. Wang, your coach still has a class, which will be over in about half an hour. You can take a walk around and warm up first. I will bring him to you after class. The bathroom and changing room are on the third floor, and the training room is on the second floor."
Wang Zheng took the keys, thanked him, and went upstairs.
I came here specifically to exercise, and I was wearing sports clothes. After going up to the third floor, I put my backpack in the closet and went to the training room.
There weren't many people on the second floor. Two people were fighting fiercely on the central stage. Wang Zheng casually found a quiet corner and did some stretching and warm-up exercises by himself.
A short while later, the receptionist came over with the coach.
Upon closer inspection, Wang Zheng realized that his coach was over 1.9 meters tall, half a head taller than himself who was 1.85 meters. He was broad-shouldered and muscular, and his white vest was stretched taut.
"Hello Wang Zheng. I'm your personal trainer, Ding Yuan. Have you had any experience with Sanda or kickboxing before?"
Wang Zheng shook his head and told the truth.
"I just practiced randomly following the videos for a while, so I'm a beginner."
After understanding Wang Zheng's skill level, Ding Yuan put on protective gear and took Wang Zheng onto the ring.
Ding Yuan patted the boxing gloves on his hands.
"Come on, let's test your strength and explosiveness first. Hit my mat with all your might."
Without much thought, Wang Zheng held his breath, slightly bent his knees, turned around, twisted his waist, gathered his strength in his shoulders, and threw a straight punch at Ding Yuan.
With a loud "bang," Ding Yuan's hand was flung away, and his body was thrown back by the force of the punch.
Ding Yuan was somewhat surprised. This kid was quite strong, even stronger than himself, an E-level superhuman awakener.
So he said, "Wang Zheng, you are very strong. You must be a strength-type Awakener."
Judging from your movements, your foundation is quite good. We can speed things up, with four hours each time. I'll guide you through basic exercises for the first two hours, and then we'll go straight to sparring for the last two hours. How does that sound?
"You're the coach, I'll follow your instructions."
Wang Zheng naturally had no doubts; real combat experience would also help him improve his skills more quickly.
The two-hour basic course ended quickly. Ding Yuan looked at the boy in front of him, who was panting heavily, and couldn't help but admire his character.
He knew that this boy had some connection with his boss and was also a natural awakener. During the two hours of tedious basic training, Wang Zheng did not complain or slack off at all. He strived for perfection in every movement and practiced tirelessly over and over again.
Ding Yuan handed over a bottle of water.
"Are you tired? Do you want to rest a bit more?"
Wang Zheng took it and gulped down several mouthfuls before shaking his head.
The break time was over. Since they were determined to train, they naturally had to squeeze out every bit of their potential. They quickly put on their protective gear and went into the ring.
