Cosmic-Level Demon God-Chapter 62 - 56: Physical Talent, New Achievement

Super Protein?

Qin Shi was slightly taken aback, it sounded a lot like the "Wisdom One" and "Ant Power Divine Medicine" Zhou Ning used to eat when they were young.

They all seemed like intelligence tax-collecting health supplements.

"Little Lan, go back to the house and do your homework, I’ll chat with Brother Cao."

The early activated [Extra-Sensory Perception] didn’t alert him, allowing Qin Shi to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Okay, brother. Do you want me to visit the nearby food street’s braised food shop and buy some chicken legs, duck gizzards, peanuts and such?"

Qin Lan put away her book and homework, obediently stood up.

"Brother Cao, have you eaten yet?"

Qin Shi’s smile was warm, like a sunny and cheerful boy-next-door.

His appearance was too deceptive, just like the neighbors said.

"——How could a good kid like him do anything bad when he was young? It must be because you bullied him first."

"No, no. I strictly control my diet structure, today is a no-carb day, I only drink water and use acupuncture to ensure a slight sense of satiety."

Cao Bin waved his hand repeatedly, thinking Mr. Qin is quite enthusiastic.

When he asks to be apprenticed later, Qin Shi probably won’t refuse, right?

"Then don’t buy it."

Qin Shi nodded, exchanged a glance with Qin Lan who was standing at the door with her book and homework.

Temporarily cancel the first-level alert!

The simple exchange between the siblings was actually a coded signal.

Going to the braised food shop to buy something meant calling Aunt Zhou next door to gather the neighbors to come over and help.

Baogong Street was mostly inhabited by families of employees who had lived here for many years, often visiting each other and knowing each other well.

A casual shout could bring dozens of people rushing over.

No matter how big and strong Cao Bin’s muscles were.

Facing pots, bowls, rice scoops, spatulas, and mops dipped in manure, he would have to be a bit apprehensive.

"Brother Cao, do we know each other?"

Qin Shi sat across from him, lifting his eyelids.

The introspection skill and the greatly enhanced sharp senses worked together, easily capturing Cao Bin’s breathing rate, his gaze seemed to penetrate the thick muscles, the vision presenting large areas of red and white brightness.

It was clear Brother Cao did train regularly, his muscle strength was decent, his life force was around twenty points, not like Coach Luo who relied on injections.

If they really fought, without opening the tendon limit stage two, it would be fifty-fifty.

"This is our first meeting. Mr. Qin, to be honest, I came here today for your drug resistance talent and body refining experience."

Cao Bin was very straightforward, to show his sincerity, he directly recounted his past.

He grew up thin and weak, like a reed that would fall with the wind.

He had been through the miserable events of his girlfriend being stolen by a blonde and cheating with a sports student, turning green on top of green.

The owner of Silver Horse Gym decided to seal his heart with concrete, lifting weights and building muscle, pursuing self-discipline to forge a stronger self.

"...But gradually, I seem to have lost myself. I need more and more injections, more and more medicine, if I stop, my muscles will become smaller and smaller!"

Cao Bin rare heartfelt confession:

"I am afraid of becoming that weak and incompetent self again! So I need better injections, more powerful medicine! I have become a fitness star in the Urban Circle, selling goods, accepting apprentices, teaching students, earning a fortune.

If my muscles don’t grow, I get anxious. If they don’t grow faster than others, I get anxious too. Sometimes I wonder, how big should muscles be to be considered big..."

Bro, you came all the way to me for therapy?

Qin Shi was confused, not knowing what Cao Bin was intending.

"Mr. Qin, last time you visited Silver Horse Gym to see Coach Luo, you took almost twenty injections in one go. I am very aware of the effects of Nine Dragons Fusion, although it is instant, it is extremely painful, the muscle groups are brutally torn, the skin breaks out in pimples, growth lines appear... the side effects are obvious!"

Cao Bin looked at Qin Shi with a fiery gaze:

"But you had no reaction, as if instant refinement! Mr. Qin, you are more impressive than any fitness athlete I have seen. This top-tier body refining talent, I have never witnessed before! I hope you can teach me and accept me into the Qin Family!"

Qin Family?

I’m walking the Old Martial Road, not the fitness path.

Bro, you’ve got the wrong person!

Qin Shi completely didn’t expect this turn of events, looking at the square-headed, round-headed Cao Bin, he secretly thought:

"Looks like using too many steroids indeed damages the brain."

Since he wasn’t here looking for trouble, Qin Shi’s attitude softened, he comforted him:

"Brother Cao, you are just afraid of being thin. But I belong to natural body refining, never touch needles or medicine, so I don’t have much say in this area."

After all, my courage to take nineteen shots of Nine Dragons Fusion came entirely from the achievements of [Overgrowth].

For anyone else, they would likely need medical attention and end up buried.

Cao Bin shook his head:

"In the entire Urban Circle, no one understands needles and medicine better than I do. Mr. Qin, your performance is better than many natural body refiners with higher life force values.

If they took more than ten injections, their bodies would react drastically, at least causing severe abdominal pain and dehydration.

Mr. Qin, you resemble the kind of person my teacher in Central City spoke of.

Truly powerful Martial Artists often develop unique talents.

For instance, my teacher can cause the brain to secrete anesthetic hormones, relieving physical pain better than any over-the-counter pain medication."

Talent?

Qin Shi scanned several monumental achievements on his panel.

There’s no talent, it’s all personal effort!

"So amazing? Brain secretes hormones for pain relief..."

Qin Shi had heard Old Liang mention before that breaking through the Seven Great Limits could unlock extraordinary "Human Body Secret Collections."

For example, breaking through the tendon limit, my limbs and torso are connected and covered by twelve blood-red tendons.

This gave me stronger impact resistance and injury healing ability.

Even in muscle strength explosiveness, I was much stronger than others.

This is why, despite having less than twenty points of life force, I could hold my own against Qiguang Heng University Martial Arts System students.

Old Liang called it "Python Tendons."

There’s "Scaly Dragon Tendons," "Dragon Tendons," and other tiers after that.

All allowing Limit Breakers’ bodies to constantly evolve towards perfection.

"Brother Cao, as the top fitness expert in the Urban Circle, do you have any unique talents?"

Qin Shi asked with a smile.

"I am too ordinary, can only look up to those with talents from afar."

Cao Bin sighed, his tone revealing envy and longing.

"These talents are not necessarily innate, they can be acquired later.

For example, constantly stimulating the body, consistently applying pressure."

I’ve seen someone who maintained extensive training for over five years, excluding eating, drinking, and resting, using various equipment for twelve hours a day."

He ultimately acquired a talent for maximizing strength, when activated, his back muscles would distort and knot like a demon, with strength increased multiple times!"

The more Qin Shi listened, the more mysterious it sounded.

Aside from the new and old, is there a third path for Martial Artists?

Qin Shi expressed doubt.

If it existed, Old Liang should have mentioned it to him.

"Brother Cao, I really have no insights to teach you. My only body refining experience is early to bed, early to rise, eat more, train more."

Qin Shi did not intend to interact too much with Cao Bin, the waters in the Urban Circle ran too deep, he just wanted to improve his life force, achieving better results in ranking competitions.

As long as he could enroll in a top academy in Heng Province, his status would change, not only automatically gaining residency in the Urban Circle, but also enjoying various benefits and protections.

"Mr. Qin, I want to analyze your daily routine and diet structure to find out where your exceptional physical talent originates."

Cao Bin’s expression was sincere, he had investigated Qin Shi’s background, considering his family conditions and physical education test scores in primary to high school.

This perfect drug absorption, fearless of harsh drug side effects physical talent, should be acquired later.

"My daily routine is simple, sleep at twelve, wake up at seven.

Diet consists of consuming nutritional paste, occasionally improving food quality, mooching high-energy food cans from others."

Qin Shi scratched his head, without [Deep Sleep] and [Muscle Memory] support.

If Cao Bin followed his training method for a lifetime, there probably wouldn’t be much change.

"It’s okay Mr. Qin, as long as you’re willing to provide me with a personalized training course, I can pay."

Cao Bin seemingly regarded Qin Shi as a body refining genius, determined to learn "true skills" from him!

"Alright, since Brother Cao you insist."

Upon hearing the word "pay," Qin Shi seemed to be triggered, he thought for a moment, then picked up a pen and paper and wrote a bunch, quickly handing it to Cao Bin.

The latter opened it with joy, then frowned.

"A hundred push-ups and sit-ups a day? Isn’t the intensity too low?

Get immersed in knowledge, maintain a book-reading habit and write an eight-hundred-word review, format free... protein powder in milk tea... take a yoga pants photo during interval sets... do these relate to muscle building?"

Qin Shi shook his head:

"The first part is to train willpower, enhancing your mental state, the last part is the key."

Cao Bin’s gaze skimmed the lines of text:

"Eat a fitness meal prepared personally by Coach Qin?"

Qin Shi smiled:

"That’s the most important charge item."

His eyes were not focused on Cao Bin’s surprised face, instead, they were fixed on the monumental achievement data panel.
