The Soul Stone was very hard, but surprisingly tasty.
It slightly scraped Yun You's throat, then quickly softened, breaking down into a warm silvery energy, merging into the little girl's blood vessels and meridians, eventually gathering in the dantian, becoming a "little sun" continuously providing energy for physical strengthening.
The appearance of this thing almost immediately curbed Yun You's hunger.
And once a person is no longer hungry, their mind naturally clears up, making the whole person much more lucid.
"Phew, it actually worked..."
Yun You breathed a sigh of relief.
[Phew, dodged a bullet, almost got gnawed on... oh, the frustration]
Master Zero also sighed with relief, though there was a hint of annoyance towards the little girl between the lines.
[Stupid Yun brat! Before you do things next time, can you use that little brain of yours to think carefully, you are me, I am you, what's the use of you eating yourself? Besides, with your teeth, wouldn't you just break half of them with one bite?]
Master Zero grumbled indignantly, but it was more like wanting to see her reach her potential than just venting.
[Remember clearly what you can eat and what you can't, you little reincarnation of a glutton...]
"Uh..."
Yun You scratched her head a bit embarrassedly.
"It's my problem, but I couldn't help it, too hungry to be rational."
"Besides, Master Zero, you look too much like spicy pickled chicken feet, and you smell crispy and delicious, couldn't resist... just wanted to take a few more bites..."
[Chicken feet your head! You gluttonous brat...]
Master Zero was obviously upset by this, his tone became a bit more anxious.
If it still had the energy to control the giant claw, it would surely give Yun You an international friendly gesture...
But since Master Zero claimed to be an elder with some seniority, it had at least a little patience.
So it just grumbled a few words and then stopped complaining.
[Alright, let's not talk about all those random things anymore, the energy from that Soul Stone is undoubtedly a 'fortune' for you, it should support you through the physical strengthening process]
[Sit quietly, don't run around anywhere, and don't waste physical strength carelessly, just calmly feel the changes in your body, let time take care of everything]
Hearing this advice, the little girl nodded, then sat cross-legged again on the balcony, bit by bit experiencing that feeling of transformation.
With sufficient energy, Yun You could feel herself getting stronger almost every minute and second.
The moonlight was gentle like the sea, but at this moment, it felt like turning into invisible hammers forging the girl's body.
Tempered into steel, a thousand forgings form gold.
This visibly strengthening feeling was truly delightful.
Yun You just felt time fly by quickly...
Outside the window, the sky was bright and sunny one moment, but in the next, replaced by clouds and starry moon.
As the days and nights rose and fell, time also passed rapidly.
One day... two days... three days!
When the morning sun on the fourth day rose on the horizon, this long yet quick phase of physical strengthening finally came to an end.
And coincidentally, the energy Yun You obtained from the Soul Stone was completely exhausted half a minute earlier.
"Three days..."
Yun You slowly opened her eyes, looking at her hands that appeared ordinary on the surface but underwent a tremendous change inside, and murmured: "My physical strengthening process took three days, which is not the theoretically optimal time of seven days."
"But that doesn't mean my potential is only at a three-day level."
"On the contrary, because I probably have squeezed the so-called 'potential' to its limit."
As she thought of this, her physical condition panel generated by the Information Reconnaissance Chip appeared.
[Arm strength data: Lift 5000 kilograms with both hands (standard is 1700 kilograms)]
[Punch strength data: Left punch 7000 kilograms (standard 2000 kilograms) / Right punch 8000 kilograms (standard 3000 kilograms)]
[Speed standard: 160 meters/second (standard 60 meters/second, maintain at least 1 minute)]
Yun You's current stats were quite alarming.
Her level of strengthening was not 2 times, not even the record-breaking 3 times, but a solid 7 times.
With lifting strength of 5 tons, punch strength around 7 tons, and a speed of 160 meters per second, these were special numbers.
Old Jin once told Yun You that these numbers represent the human limit.
Strictly speaking, it's the limit for ordinary people.
Without using Genetic Potions to modify the body, without installing Cybernetic Prosthetics, without accepting any Apprentice Death God Power... the limit value for human physical fitness achieved under the guidance of the Body Refining Manual, is these numbers.
This is an absolutely unbreakable bottleneck, and at the same time, it's a symbol of "top talent".
Having it also means that Yun You could officially embark on the extraordinary path, from a mortal, becoming an Apprentice Death God...
"That 130,000 spent was worth it!"
Yun You clenched her fist firmly, a glow of excitement shining on her young face.
Reaching the extreme value in physical fitness doesn't just mean honor on paper, but also tangible rewards.
Old Jin mentioned that at the time of awakening to become an Apprentice Death God, the stronger the subject's own physique, the stronger the "talent ability" he or she would also acquire.
These talent abilities often decide the future of a Death God, whether they will shine brightly or fall into an abyss.
Previously, Death Gods who awakened with an "Extreme Physique" like Yun You were very few, but each possessed formidable strength and achieved brilliant accomplishments in their era.
And now, the little girl might become one of them.
At that time, her revenge would truly have the possibility to be realized, not just an empty promise...
[Congratulations, Yun brat, you've finally secured your ticket to becoming a strong one, worthy of celebration]
Master Zero said with a smile...
[But after all, you're my Master Zero's master, becoming strong was only natural, nothing particularly worth boasting about]
[Anyway, keep working hard]
Hearing this extremely rare compliment from Master Zero, Yun You chuckled and nodded.
"I'll make sure to get Master Zero more good weapons to snack on from now on."
[Stop that, if you can stop biting me next time, I'll be grateful... as for weapons, just go with the flow, don't worry too much about it]
Master Zero casually responded.
Saying this, Yun You could clearly feel its happiness.
The guy's all tsundere, prefers coaxing rather than tough talk, just need to stroke it right to make it happy...
After figuring this out, the image of Master Zero in Yun You's mind changed from a cocky unknown creature to a sharp-tongued, soft-hearted good buddy...
Yun You slowly closed the Star-Attracting Skill in her hands.
Meanwhile, starry text appeared again.
[Congratulations on completing the third phase—Body Strengthening]
[For the following tutorial, please watch after you've broken through the bottleneck of the limit]
"There's more..."
Yun You raised her eyebrows in slight surprise.
She originally thought the Star-Attracting Skill only had these three phases.
Being able to guide ordinary people to the level of participating in the Apprentice Death God test was already remarkable.
But now it seems, she underestimated this book.
The Star-Attracting Skill is probably far from as simple as she imagined.
"The money spent really was worth it..."
The little girl felt delighted in her heart.
So far, nothing she spent a fortune on has been a dud.
This could perhaps be considered a form of "good luck" from another perspective...
"Then next, it's time to take part in the [Apprentice Death God Admission Test]."
Yun You pondered silently.
But before participating in the trial, she needed to rest well and enjoy a nice sleep.
Physical strengthening took a great toll on spiritual power, and she hadn't rested for three days.
The little girl now only wanted to dive into a warm bed and sleep away all her exhaustion...
So Yun You turned off the light, drew the curtains, locked the door... and snuggled into her blanket.
Soon, she was sound asleep.
A day where she didn't have to worry about life and death, or fret about the future... A peaceful day.
