"Four hundred and ninety-eight, four hundred and ninety-nine, five hundred...... Call...... There is one last group left. ”

Sean stood up from the water suddenly, breathing greedily, the steaming potion slid down the uneven muscles, the temperature of the potion was amazing, and the skin was dark red, like a roasted crab.

If you judge it from a bodybuilding point of view, Sean's figure is not perfect, his neck is too short and thick, the muscles of his lower arms and calves are too developed, giving people a feeling of disproportionality, his waist is too thick, the top and bottom are like one, and there is no beauty like a bee waist.

In the eyes of knowledgeable people, Sean's body structure is full of merits, born to fight and kill.

The short and thick neck makes it easier for him to defend himself against fatal points, which are one of the most fragile and vulnerable parts of the human body, not only the main respiratory route, but also the blood supply of the brain, but only supported by a fragile spine, which is either not attacked, and when attacked, it is often fatal.

The well-developed muscles on the forearm give him amazing grip strength, the well-developed calf muscles give him strong explosive power, and the thick waist makes him coordinate up and down at the same time, it also has terrifying explosive power, and the bow is twice the result with half the effort.

This is the biggest difference between hunting and indoor gym workouts, the former is for hunting and killing, and the latter is for aesthetics.

However, compared to Marshall, who is also bare-chested not far away, Sean is still good, because of his height, Sean is still more slender, and Marshall, who is relatively short, is simply the spokesperson of the iron bucket, as thick as the top and bottom, and the developed muscles are about to jump out from under the skin.

The other half-sized children have more or less muscular contours, but most of them are concentrated in the legs, which is the basis for their survival in the mountains and forests.

Except for Marshall who can keep up with Sean's training rhythm, the rest of the people have long been squeezed out of the last trace of physical strength, and they don't even have the strength to speak when they lie there, but judging from their envious eyes, Sean and Marshall are their targets to catch up with in the future.

A week and a half had passed since the bear hunt, and they stayed in the bear hunting ground for three days, simply processing most of the valuable materials on the spot and reducing the weight as much as possible, and those three days were among the best memories of the half-sized children, because they could let go of the limit on eating meat.

The soup and wild vegetables are not counted, and in three days, they ate nearly 1,500 pounds of bear meat, and on average, each person ate more bear meat than their own weight, which vividly interpreted the saying that half a child eats a poor man.

Sean and the others did not go directly back to the village, but in a private hunter's hut ten kilometers away from the village.

Maybe because he has too many secrets, Sean prefers this place to his home in the village, where he can do whatever he likes without restraint - as for these children, they have followed Sean since they were sensible, and their words and deeds have long been assimilated, and no matter how weird things have been seen since childhood, they are naturally accustomed to it.

After eight years of construction, it has long since left the domain of private hunting huts – ordinary hunters' huts have no vegetable gardens and wheat fields, and there are no special storage rooms, steam baths, research rooms, training rooms and engineering workshops.

Sean and the others completely built this place as their secret base, and the dreams of children in the previous life, they didn't expect this life to come true.

After regaining his breath, Sean took a deep breath and returned to the bath to begin a new round of counting.

One, two, three......

In this breath-holding situation, time became very slow, his facial features became very sharp, Sean could even clearly hear the sound of his own heartbeat, he just remembered that it was not the number of seconds, but the number of his own heartbeat, as time went by, the heartbeat became slower and slower, and at the same time became stronger and stronger, like a drum, "dong dong" bombarded his chest.

"One hundred and ninety-eight, one hundred and ninety-nine, two hundred...... Here it comes. ”

By the time he was two hundred, a qualitative change that only Sean could experience was taking place in his body, in his heart and blood vessels.

The strange flame-like imprint on Sean's right hand resurfaced, but this time it didn't flash for a moment, but continued to flash, and fiery red veins began to emerge, spreading upwards along the arm - in the direction of the heart.

The temperature of the potion around Sean's arm was decreasing at an alarming rate, as if the heat of the potion was being sucked away by that flame-like brand.

And so it is.

The flame-like imprint on Sean's right hand absorbed not only the heat, but also other substances, the original turbid potion is becoming clearer and clearer, in fact, it is now in the finishing stage, at the beginning, the potion is in a semi-solid state, and the temperature is as high as more than eighty degrees, ordinary people come in and cook it directly half-cooked.

Five hundred!

Don stood up again, no more, no less, exactly five hundred, and the bath water had turned to room temperature, and it was very clear.

"The steam bath made of the bear bone secret medicine has been completed for one hour. ”

"Sixteen weeks of strength-strengthening training completed. ”

"This training cycle has accumulated 0.45 attributes, 0.15 strength, 0.05 agility, 0.1 constitution, 0.05 intelligence, 0.05 will, and 0.05 perception. ”

"Currently, the main stats are 1.8 Strength, 1.75 Agility, 1.65 Constitution, 2.65 Intelligence, 3.15 Will, and 2.85 Perception. ”

"Please choose a new training mode – Regular, Intensive, Extreme. ”

"Intensive training. ”

"Choose the direction of your training – strength, agility, physique, intelligence, perception. ”

"Strength. ”

"I have chosen the strength strengthening training mode, and on the first day of the first week, I ran 30 kilometers in the mountains, eight sets of standard frog jumps (200 in each group), eight sets of standard bench press (200 in each group), eight sets of 150 meters of three-stage shooting (50 in each group), and a steam bath made of bear bone secret medicine for one hour. ”

The flame-like imprint did not disappear, but projected a translucent screen the size of a skull, and a large number of small words of mosquitoes and flies waterlogged by, both the translucent screen and the words were all made up of small balls of flame twists.

The situation at this moment is very strange, but whether it is Sean or the children bathing in the bath next to it, it is not strange, no matter how strange things are, if they are innate, they will be accustomed to being with each other for more than ten years, at most, those younger children are full of envy and praise "It's amazing." ”

Brand of Fire.

This is Sean's name for it, the biggest and most essential difference between this world and the previous life, this world is magical, although the power of this magic is not as powerful as imagined, so omnipotent, but it does exist, and it can be perceived and controlled by a very small number of people.

However, in this world, it is not called magic, but called magic, its inheritance largely depends on talent, talented people, even if there is no teacher's teaching, when the time comes, they will spontaneously awaken and become a warlock, if they are not talented, no matter how hard they try, it is difficult to get in touch with that invisible and qualitative power.

There is a very popular opinion in the continent of Ashan, that this talent is not completely untraceable, and that bloodlines occupy an extremely important place in it.

Sean has reservations about this view—he will have reservations about things that are completely beyond what he had learned in his previous life, especially if there is no physical evidence.

Sean is lucky, very lucky, that he is not only one of the very few, but a minority of the few, a unique imprint that not every warlock has.

According to Sean's mother, a whisper-level warlock, this spell imprint can only be produced on people with Andes blood, which is a precious treasure left to their children and grandchildren by the ancestors of the Andes Empire three hundred years ago, and is a symbol of kingship.

What kind of king's method, then it is unknown, anyway, so far, Sean has not found any kingly qi in himself.

Sean's sorcery initiation teacher is his mother Elena, who is neither a qualified mother nor a responsible teacher, but a whim.

When he was interested, whether Sean could understand it or not, he dragged him over, instilled a lot of magic knowledge, and if he was not interested, he would throw him a bunch of obscure and unsystematically organized magic books to learn by himself.

Since Sean was weaned, Elena has been missing for two-thirds of the year, and when she comes back, she is also in a hurry, busy with her own affairs, if it is not for the memory of her past life, it is unknown whether Sean can grow so big.

The influence is mutual, perhaps it is the extraordinary independence shown from childhood to adulthood that has made Sean's mother develop this irresponsible habit.

As for his father, Sean has never seen or heard his mother mention it, just like Sean bred by Elena herself, this person has never existed, if it weren't for Sean being 100% sure that Elena was his biological mother, he couldn't help but wonder if he was a character in the bloody plot of a third-rate novel - he was raised by Elena.

For Sean, the benefits of having such a mother obviously outweigh the disadvantages, at least most of the time she doesn't have to go to great lengths to hide her differences, even if she occasionally shows her feet, which can be explained by self-taught during her absence.

Sean's mother never doubted this, like all mothers, that her son was different, even if he occasionally showed abnormalities, it was a matter of course, although Sean showed more anomalies.

Since he didn't know when Elena decided to turn on Su Hui, Sean didn't need to explain anything anymore - although it would not be an exaggeration to call Sean Hui in his current situation.

Judging from the texts that I have come into contact with, the study of magic in this world is more focused on the use of magic than the essence of magic, and even if there are occasional books on the nature of warlocks, they are still floating in the so-called theory of the elements of light, darkness, fire, water, earth, and wind, believing that these elements are the basic elements that make up this world.

For Sean, who has received popular science education in modern physics of atoms and molecules, this theoretical theory derived from the effect of magic is obviously untenable—the similarity of the two worlds dooms them to have no fundamental differences between their constituent foundations and physical laws.

As his abilities grow and the deeper he understands sorcery, the more certain Sean is that it will not be as simple as that, even sorcery must obey the laws of physics, and the law of conservation of energy is one of the core laws, and the energy it relies on is transformed, not conjured out of thin air.

Casting spells is an extremely physically demanding thing, just like the flame arrows he cast before, even with the help of special arrows, he can cast three arrows at most, and it will take half a week to fully recover.

The arrow is made of the main rod of the alpine pine, which only grows at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters above sea level, the branches of the low alpine pine not only have an amazing density, the weight is no worse than the same volume of steel, but also has an amazing oiliness, a small branch can burn overnight without extinguishing, this cold iron pine arrow in just a dozen seconds into ashes naturally can not be self-combustion.

In fact, it had already burned in the more than ten seconds of preparation before it was shot, and the power was artificially condensed by Sean, and then released instantaneously to achieve the purpose of the attack.
