David Bennett had lowered his mental attribute, so at this moment, he felt a hazy, dreamlike sensation, and time passed by in a daze.

He didn’t know how long it had been, but David Bennett could no longer feel any pain in his body. He figured the energy from the body-tempering potion must have been exhausted.

Back to normal!

After issuing a command to the attribute regulator in his mind, David Bennett jumped straight up from the bed.

Right now, he felt his bones and muscles were incredibly strong, every muscle in his body brimming with immense vitality.

He even felt as if he could sense the muscle fibers making up his 639 muscles, each one wriggling like tiny worms.

Although the movement was slight, the moment David Bennett clenched his fist, the power generated from those muscle fibers surged like little snakes, gathering toward David Bennett’s fist.

Casually grabbing the strength-testing ball from the table, the moment he lightly squeezed it, the ball began to flash wildly in all sorts of colors.

Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, violet!

In the end, all the colors merged into the primary color, and there was no further reaction.

It exploded!

Looking at the strength-testing ball in his hand, David Bennett felt a bit regretful. After all, this ball was bought for him by his little sister with her pocket money—how could he have broken it?

Reducing all his strength, David Bennett looked at the ball with a hint of hope, but still, there was no reaction.

It’s broken!

Casually setting the ball aside, David Bennett quickly brought up the attribute regulator in his mind!

Strength: 3.3.

Speed: 1.2.

Spirit: 1.4.

Constitution: 2.8.

These numbers made David Bennett’s eyes shine. He had no doubt that the body-tempering potion could increase strength.

But such a huge improvement was beyond anything he had imagined.

Both Ethan Foster and he had used the same body-tempering potion, and their strength had only increased by about 500 jin, but David Bennett’s own strength had increased by nearly 2,000 jin.

Besides strength, the biggest improvement was in constitution, which had also doubled, making David Bennett feel his body was much heavier than usual.

Filled with power from head to toe, David Bennett quickly went to the small garden. It was still before dawn, and not wanting to wake his mother and sister, David Bennett didn’t practice the Ape-Dragon Foundation Diagram, but quietly trained in horse stance.

The basic horse stance was what David Bennett and the others practiced most often, but now, as he settled into the stance, he felt waves of strength gathering from all over his body toward his core.

But that wasn’t the most important thing. The key was that the moment he settled into the horse stance, his mind became incomparably clear.

I must have fully absorbed the effects of the body-tempering potion. My strength is now at the peak of a level-two martial artist. I should be able to practice the third form of the Ape-Dragon Foundation Diagram—the Flood Dragon’s Tail, which tempers the tendons!

As the morning sun broke through the darkness, David Bennett heard movement in the house. His mother, Emily Sullivan, must have gotten up. At this point, David Bennett had no more concerns and began practicing the Ape-Dragon Foundation Diagram.

Demonic Ape Splits the Earth, Coiling Dragon Forms the Array!

Although his proficiency in the moves hadn’t increased, with each practice, David Bennett felt the power in his body growing more and more active, as if every execution brought a new sensation.

“Brother, here’s a towel!”

After David Bennett had trained for an hour, Anna Bennett came running over with a towel.

Taking the small towel from his sister and wiping his face, David Bennett felt a surge of joy. At this moment, he felt as if his strength had improved a little more.

David Bennett didn’t eat breakfast at home—not because he disliked his mother’s cooking, but because there simply wasn’t enough food at home for him to eat his fill.

After reminding his mother to report to the bank, David Bennett ran off to school.

“Hello, Brother Bennett!”

“Hello, Brother David!”

“Hello, Senior David!”

Whether male or female, everyone who saw David Bennett greeted him respectfully. Quite a few girls who considered themselves attractive even looked at David Bennett with admiring eyes.

“Look, it’s Ethan Foster and William Grant.” After chatting with David Bennett for a bit, Brian Sullivan pointed ahead.

“David Bennett classmate, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you.” William Grant’s face was all smiles.

“Mr. Grant, I heard you’re a level-two martial artist. Why don’t you give me some guidance right now?” David Bennett looked at William Grant, half-smiling. “Take three punches from me, and we’ll call it even!”

Chapter 10: Elite Class of the Xinglong Army

These past two days, William Grant had been filled with regret. He prided himself on his shrewdness, and when it came to people stronger than him, William Grant always treated them as resources, sparing no effort to curry favor.

Thinking back to how he had offended David Bennett just to please Charles Foster that day, he felt so uncomfortable he couldn’t sleep. So today, he brought Ethan Foster along, hoping to reconcile with David Bennett.

In his view, for a teacher like himself to take the initiative to make peace with a student was nothing short of an insult.
