My Muscle System in the Mage World

Chapter 235: Body and Soul

After what felt like an endless passage of time, Aur slowly began to sense a strange transformation taking place within his body.

The once cramped muscles began to loosen, feeling as though they were being nourished. Simultaneously, he felt a surge of strength coursing through his frame, accompanied by a noticeable increase in height.

"Wasn't this a soul-refining potion?" Aur's brow furrowed in confusion. Sensing the changes occurring within him, a contemplative expression settled on his face.

However, the physical changes were not the only ones he noticed; his mind seemed clearer, and his perspective on the world had significantly shifted compared to before.

As the transformation continued, Aur finally regained the ability to move freely.

"Muscle system," Aur immediately summoned his system, and the blue panel materialised before him.

His crimson eyes widened to their limits as he focused on his stats.

- Intelligence: 2.80 (+) +1+2

In this period of time, his intelligence attribute had been rapidly increasing, already having gained eight stat points and showing no signs of slowing down.

Aur nodded with a satisfied expression.

"Looks like my conjecture is right. The intelligence points are also related to the soul, however, at the same time, it might not be entirely related…" he thought in contemplation.

Just like the muscle mass attribute, these Intelligence stats were most likely the combination of various attributes all combined into these single words.

For example, it might be related to the soul, consciousness, and some other things he couldn't comprehend right now.

But Aur was sure of one thing: these intelligence attributes were the combination of many things.

However, his confusion resurfaced when his gaze was attracted to the muscle mass attribute.

- Muscle mass: 7.47 (+) [Tier one (peak)]

"Eh!?" Aur looked at these with a thoughtful glint in his eyes.

Although the strengthening of his body had already finished and there was no transformation currently occurring, only the soul was in the state of transformation, he was still confused as to why his body was strengthened.

"In my understanding, there has never been a case of nurturing the body when the soul-refining potion is taken, so what made me transform instead?" Aur contemplated and contemplated but couldn't rack his head around it.

In the end, the conclusion he came up with was just because the physical path in this world was suppressed, but for Aur it wasn't so.

With the increase in the power of the soul, the vessel, the body, was also supposed to increase, but because of the restriction that it couldn't be increased for other wizards.

The soul and the body are closely related; with the increase in soul, the body is nourished and increases in strength as well.

Aur thought this was at least ninety percent true in his opinion.

That's probably why every other path was despised and given little importance in this world, and the Wizard path was considered the supreme path even though it was heavily based on talent.

Without the talent for opening the mental space, a person could only live an ordinary life.

"Sigh," a sigh escaped his lips when he thought of these points. If some other powerhouse of wizards found these secrets in his body, Aur might be dissected right there and then.

A chill crept up his spine when he thought of these.

"Let's wait for the changes in my soul to settle down up to that point."

Aur smirked as he started to train again. The weight bracers that he was wearing were now basically useless as he couldn't feel a single thing from their weight, but it was at least better than nothing.

"I will make a custom bracer soon."

With that thought, Aur completely submerged himself in his training until midnight came.

Aur stood up and looked at the ground with a bitter expression. The ground was gooey and there were traces of being burnt, as if a bucket of lava had been poured into this place. This was because of the terrifying blood and Qi that was emitting from his body.

Even the floor that he was currently standing on sizzled from the sheer heat produced with every increase in his muscle mass attribute. Experience new stories on m v|l e'm,p| y- r

The most noticeable difference was the blood and Qi, which was constantly increasing every single second.

For example, with a single stat point increase in his muscle mass, the blood and Qi increased by approximately one percent.

If it were a normal person, it couldn't even be felt. But for Aur, whose blood and Qi reached a terrifying point, just a percent increase was comparable to an entire mortal warrior's blood and Qi reserve.

And this was continuous; it neither decreased nor increased. What terrifying power was this?

Wouldn't he be able to melt even a tier one wizard to death with just releasing the blood and Qi at this point?

But he was still at the power comparable to the peak tier one wizard.

Aur shook his head. "Let's worry about how strong tier four wizards are in the future, but first…"

"Muscle system."

[Muscle System]

[Name: Aur Cromwell/ Auriel

Talent: Future Seer (Major: 0; Minor: 0)

-Muscle mass: 7.47 (+) [Tier one (peak)]

-Intelligence: 2.99 (+)

Stat Points: 0

Storage space: 0.7/1 cubic metre

Quest: Daily (completed)]

"Hmm?" Looking at the panel, he was a little disappointed. The increase in his soul should have boosted his intelligence attribute by more than this.

Aur could sense that his soul had increased by at least half, but the increase in his attribute was so slight that it only confirmed his conjecture further: his intelligence attribute was a comprehensive attribute like the muscle mass.

"But why did it suddenly stop at 2.99? Is there some significant change if I reach three points in my attribute?" His eyes brightened at the thought.

Looking out the window, he saw the moon fading away in the distance. This meant that he could gain another stats point from completing his daily quest the following day.

So Aur patiently waited for the moon to fade and the sun to rise again, signifying the completion of the day.

Unlike his previous life where the earth was round, this place was actually like an island, completely flat, but at the same time, the expanse of this entire plane was terrifying.

You have to understand that these villages alone could probably be compared to the largest city in the previous world. And if you consider this wilderness, then it's easily as large as the largest country in his previous world, if not even larger.

The kingdom they are in, called the Kingdom of Roshar, is probably as vast as a continent in his previous world.

So the sun and moon that they regularly see are actually revolving around these planes as the centre, since the plane is much bigger than both the sun and the moon.

Looking at it this way, one could imagine the terrifying vastness of this world reaching an unknown distance.

With these thoughts in mind, Aur began to comprehend the spells again.

"Since there are still some hours before another day arrives, it's better that I comprehend these spells rather than wasting time."

Aur was slightly startled by the speed of his comprehension, which had increased. All the things that previously felt difficult for him could now be easily done.

His comprehension speed had increased by at least two-fold!
