Chapter Ninety-Seven: Eighty-Three Years, Failure
There was a familiar hum.
It's still the same courtyard, it's still late at night, and the bright moonlight pours down from the sky, reflecting the same light and shadow on the ground.
But everything is completely different.
In fact, choosing to add points at Uncle Qian's house is also an experiment for Mark.
In the past, he chose to be in the forest every time he added points, so the dream world has always been a forest environment.
To be precise, a completely forest environment.
Even the original location of Qingxi Village was a forest, and the boundless forest spread into the distance, as if there was no end.
This time, Mark is to test how the surrounding environment will change after adding points in the village.
However, after waking up in the dream world, Mark has completely forgotten about the experiment.
Mark rubbed his head and glanced around.
The green caterpillar and the big butterfly were next to him, the stag farmer cannon worm was docked by the wall, and there was a small magnetic monster floating around next to the stag farmer cannon bug.
In addition, in the water tank not far away, his coward worm was inside, spitting bubbles at this time.
Mark frowned slightly, and the courtyard seemed to be missing something.
It's just that he thought about it for a while, but he never remembered.
Without thinking much about it, Mark looked at the elves around him and said, "Some time ago, when I was fighting with Raymond, I almost lost consciousness due to the [thunder] of the electric shock demonic beast, which made me realize my shortcomings.
In the elven world, there are not only regular elf battles, but also irregular field fights, as well as all kinds of unexpected situations.
At this time, the weak body of the trainer will form a drag.
Although my physical fitness is not bad, it is far from being as good as that of elves, so I decided to improve my physical fitness through practice.
In this process, you can also practice with me and strengthen your body together......"
After Mark finished speaking, he immediately took action, dancing his body in place and dancing the natural dance of Qingxi Forest.
Through natural dancing, not only can he enhance his [Qingxi Power], but also nourish his physique, allowing his physical fitness to rise slowly.
The green caterpillar and Ba Da Butterfly saw Mark dancing, and they also danced with Mark, while the stag farmer cannon insect not far away was in a daze in the corner, and some did not understand the situation.
Then, Mark stopped.
The green caterpillar and the bada butterfly also stopped.
Because, this time the natural dance is ineffective.
Obviously, the [Power of Clear Stream] can be used normally, but after dancing the natural dance, it will not be blessed by the forest.
In fact, Mark is in the dream world at this time, the forest here is not a real forest, and Mark naturally cannot get a gift from the false forest.
Marx pondered for a while, but never understood why.
However, Mark did not continue to dwell on it, and soon danced another dance on the spot.
In fact, it is not a dance, but a kind of boxing, or martial arts.
These martial arts movements are a set of physical gymnastics created by Mark these days through the [holding] and [seeing] skills of strange power, combined with some martial arts he knew before crossing over.
There is a feeling of Tai Chi when practiced, but there are many differences, and there is a lot of fierceness in the harmony.
It's a pity that neither Uncle Qian nor Strange Power is gone, otherwise he would still be able to further improve this kind of physical gymnastics.
In the midst of his thoughts, Mark, who was practicing gymnastics, stopped.
Speaking of which, where did Uncle Qian and Strange Force go?
Mark scanned the courtyard and didn't find the reason for a while, he just remembered that Third Uncle Qian and Strange Force left.
Without too much struggle, Mark soon continued to practice gymnastics.
After practicing the bodybuilding exercises five times, Mark was sweating profusely, and the muscles in his whole body were constantly trembling, so he beckoned Ba Dadie and the green caterpillar to come over and cast a [power grid] on his body, using electricity to stimulate the cells in his body.
After a shock to him, Mark's whole body became sore, so he treated his body through the [Power of Clear Stream] and ate the food placed near the stone table.
Although it is unknown why the nature dance cannot be blessed by the forest, the use of [Qingxi Power] has not been affected in any way.
Soon, feeling that his body was almost recovering, Mark started to do gymnastics again.
This time, Mark strapped more than a dozen sandbags to his body for weight-bearing exercises.
After two hours of exercise, Mark was sweating profusely again, lying on the ground with a sore body.
Before you know it, the sky has lit up.
And Mark suddenly heard a slight movement at this time.
The sound came from the water tank.
I don't know when it began, while he, the green caterpillar, and Ba Dadie practiced this kind of physical gymnastics together, the cowardly worm also practiced in the water tank.
Mark walked over to the water tank and took a look, not very skilled, but the cowardly practiced very vigorously.
Without much thought, Mark continued to have the Green Caterpillar and Ba Da Butterfly use the [Grid] to stimulate his body with electricity......
……
Mark's workouts are simple and rough.
Specifically, it is to use the same routine, repeat the exercise day after day, persevere, continue to persevere, and continue to persevere.
One day......
...... a week
One month......
One year ......
Two years......
Finally, one day three years later, Mark stopped.
After three years of continuous training, his body has become like steel, and the muscles of his whole body bulge, looking like a humanoid tank.
Originally, he was 1.88 tall and weighed about 140 pounds, but at this time he weighed more than 350 pounds.
"Can't make progress anymore......"
Mark muttered softly.
In the beginning, he felt a sense of improvement almost every day during this workout, but as time went on, this progress became less and less.
Then in the last month, his body has stopped any growth.
In the dark, Mark developed a feeling that it would be enough to reach such a body.
However, Mark quickly got rid of this thinking.
It's not enough, he has to make his body stronger.
On this day, Mark no longer exercised as before, but picked up a wooden stick and wrote and drew in the sand of the courtyard to organize the knowledge in his mind.
After three days of writing, Mark left the village and went to the forest outside the village, where he breathed and felt.
A few days later, Mark returned to the courtyard and continued to write and draw on the ground.
Two days after writing, Mark headed out for the forest again.
A month later, Mark took up yoga in the forest, followed by another gentle style of bodybuilding in the forest, and no longer wore weights.
Time keeps ticking......
Mark's terrifying, steel-like muscles looked smaller and smaller, and his weight began to gradually approach that of a normal person.
After another three years, Mark's weight has fully returned to normal.
In terms of strength and defense, he is a little weaker than the tank state three years ago, but in terms of speed and nerve reflexes, his body is more than a step faster than three years ago.
Of course, that's not the point.
Between thoughts, Mark inhaled sharply.
A normal person's inhalation of more than ten seconds is already the limit, but Mark's inhalation lasted for nearly three minutes.
Then, a white wave of air nearly a meter long erupted from his mouth like a pillar.
From the outside to the inside.
Unconsciously, Mark practiced something that seemed to be internal strength.
So, Mark continued to practice.
Time continues to pass, year after year.
Before you know it, eighty-three years have passed.
Sitting in the forest, Mark slowly opened his eyes.
Feeling something, Mark looked at the sky, then got up and walked towards the edge of the forest.
Before he knew it, he had come to the meadow at the beginning of the crossing again, and saw large and small puddles.
He walked to a puddle and looked at the reflection in the puddle.
Soon, the green caterpillar, which reached a body length of 2.3 meters, came over, and then the green caterpillar beckoned the Ba Da butterfly behind to watch the reflection together.
Mark looked at himself in the reflection and sighed.
He ran his fingers through his hair, pulling a strand of silver hair from the black hair.
Looking at the white hair in his hand, Mark's gaze appeared a little dazed, and there was also some loss.
"After all, I didn't get through the passage of time, and my body began to decline, and it seems that this is the limit of what my body can reach......
"I'm still, failed......"
With this exclamation, the picture in front of Mark's eyes shattered......
