[+Strength]
[+500 limit points]
It was as he had expected. Tron had actually gained attribute points, directly leveling up to a level 9 Acolyte mage, using his flesh and blood to power and sustain the rune.
Once or two more times, then he would directly level up and possess the strength of a Rank One Magus!
At that time, he wouldn't even be scared of a Twin-circle Magus like Valtor. With this method, it was only a matter of time before his strength reaches the peak.
However, there was a problem with this method. While his muscles adapt rapidly and does not heal at the same speed which meant that after using this method, he would have to wait till his body heals before using it again.
Moreover, he would also be rendered weak and defenseless for a period of time after using this method which is why he needed to be careful.
Naturally, he could depend upon the healing ability of the purple crystal he embedded in his chest.
However, it only works at night and Tron wasn't sure how fast the healing rate was going to be.
There was barely any strength left in his body at this moment. Tron managed to drag himself to his room to rest as his muscles adapt to the damage and his cells started to heal.
As night fell, the world outside Tron's dormitory was bathed in the soft, ethereal glow of the three moons. Their silver rays streamed through the window, cascading down onto Tron like a delicate, shimmering blanket.
Inside, a subtle change began to stir within his body. The purple crystal embedded in his chest, suddenly came to life. A faint, purplish sheen slowly spread beneath his skin, glowing softly as the crystal activated.
Deep within his body, the crystal's energy began to flow, reaching out to every corner of his flesh. His cells, once drained and lifeless from the activation of the Blood Blade rune, suddenly trembled like an addict tasting heroin after ten decades.
At first, the change was almost imperceptible—a faint tingling sensation in his veins, a gentle warmth spreading through his tired muscles. But then, the energy surged, and his cells roared to life.
The purple stream intensified, coursing through his bloodstream like a river of life suddenly washing into a dried up lake. The cells that had been on the brink of death, shriveled and weak, now began to stir.
The crystal's energy seeped into each one, infusing them with vitality, coaxing them back from the edge. It was as if the crystal was breathing new life into his cells.
Underneath his skin, every single gene and cells rapidly began to regenerate. The once lifeless cells swelled with energy, expanding and dividing with incredible speed.
New cells were born in a frenzy replacing those that had died, repairing the damage that had been done.
The purple glow beneath his skin pulsed rhythmically, each pulse sending another wave of energy through his body.
His skeletal bony frame, just hours ago, was beginning to regain its lost mass. Flesh reformed over his bones, his limbs thickening as new cells filled the voids left by the rune's consumption.
Within three hours, the changes were more than obvious. More than half of his damaged and dried cells had been revived, their strength restored by the crystal's power.
The silver light of the moons continued to bathe his room, beautifying his room, but it was the purple glow beneath his skin that held all his attention.
Tron clenched his fist and the air trapped within his palm exploded, creating a tiny shockwave that blasted the surrounding object backwards.
Although he healed slower than he had expected, it was still better than his normal healing pace. Without the crystal, it would have taken more than a month for him to heal naturally. Thankfully, he had the purple Crystal on him.
The strength of a Tier 9 Acolyte surged through Tron's body like a wave. This made him want to repeat the process of charging the rune with his flesh and blood once more but he ultimately stopped himself.
The gains were obvious but the risk were also obvious. It took his body the entire night to heal even with the purple crystal present. Which meant that he would be rendered weak and would have to wait till night time before he healed again.
Hence, Tron made a plan to repeat the process only at night when the people crystal's healing factor is active where he would take the most advantage.
But for now he needed to complete his daily quest.
Tron immediately got down on all for and started his push up.
[Ding! Daily Quest available]
?Daily quest: ?
?2000 Push Ups (0/2000) incomplete?
?2000 Sit Ups (0/2000) incomplete?
?200 kilometers (0/200) ) incomplete?
?Punishment: DEATH!?
This time, it took Tron about five hours to fully completely the daily quest which granted 5 stat points each in his attributes due to the 1.5 times reward from the system.
Tron started heading back to his dormitory but just as he reached the front of his door, he saw that there was actually a student waiting there for him.
Tron frowned as he recognized this student was also a first year student freshmen like him.
Seeing Tron, the young man's eyes perked up. "You're here finally."
Tron tilted his head as he walked towards his door, wondering why the student had been waiting here for him.
"I have news from Instructor Daphne." This words immediately caught Tron's attention.
Magus Daphne had been the one to save him from the young Genius Valtor. Otherwise, he would have been died at this moment as a Twin-circle Magus attack wasn't something his cells could adapt to.
"What news?"
Tron asked.
"The Magus asked me to inform you to attend today's lecture as she wants to give an important message announcement to the entire class."
"Oh?"
Tron was slightly surprised. She actually asked him to attend today's lecture, wasn't that disobeying the Dean's words?
