Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

The root cause of the limitation on adventurers' leveling up is not actually ability points or achievements, but rather their physical body.

"The essence of 'ability points' is training, the essence of 'great achievements' is breakthroughs, and the essence of 'aptitude' is our own physical body."

"Only by achieving the perfect trinity can one obtain the key to ascend the ladder of heroes."

Finn, who was passing by at some point, was stopped by Rivera, who was playing with a ball, and couldn't help but nod slightly.

The reason he achieved far more than his peers was that he spent nearly eight years honing his martial arts skills and physical abilities before becoming an adventurer.

This coincides with Charles's theory.

“Charles has really surprised me, hasn’t he, Riveria?”

“We’ve only relied on its grace and indulged in its convenience, without ever truly understanding it.” Riveria nodded slightly.

Xia Er raised his index finger: "Therefore, by keeping the so-called talent bottleneck away from the current ability value, we can indirectly accelerate the efficiency of absorbing experience points."

As the saying goes, not losing money is a huge profit.

In the original work, both Ais at level 6 and Lefia at level 4 underwent more than ten days of special training after leveling up, gaining incredible ability values.

Ais's overall abilities are close to G (200), while Lefia's is abnormally high, reaching the level of E (400) magic power.

If an adventurer can maintain that "super-adaptive" state from when they first leveled up, their growth rate will increase explosively.

Ais was easily drawn to Charles's theory. She knew very well that what made her father stronger was not his repeated battles with monsters.

Instead, he wielded his sword day and night!

That is why young Ais was able to learn Albert's swordsmanship despite being deaf and blind.

"What... should I do? Swing my sword?"

Charles shook his head: "Simply swinging the sword is no longer useful to you. Under the influence of Grace, the sword is like chopsticks to you. No matter how many times you swing the chopsticks, you probably won't get tired. It's too inefficient."

"That……"

"Go do weight training, cough cough... no, wrong show. I mean..." Charles took a deep breath, his demeanor suddenly shifting, and said in a solemn voice:

"100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10km run every day! Most importantly, three meals a day! And unwavering perseverance!"

"what?"

Finn thought Ciel had some technique to improve physical fitness, but it turned out to be just this.

That's not even as good as swinging a sword 100,000 times a day.

Rivera said thoughtfully, "The important thing is not the method, but the persistence."

“Yes.” Charles gave him a look of agreement: “This theory is based on ordinary people like me! This training program is already beyond the physical limits of ordinary people.”

"Our goal is to constantly push the limits of our bodies. Even if our legs ache, we'll still do squats; even if our arms crack, we'll still do push-ups. Every day is a journey of self-improvement. If we keep going, we'll definitely get stronger!"

"It doesn't matter if an adventurer's body is too strong. Just seal their body down to the level of an ordinary person. Weight reduction, ability decrease, curses, anything is fine."

"Keep pushing the limits of your abilities, without needing any grand achievements. Rely on your will and effort to break free from the shackles that bind you!"

That being said.

However, in Ciel's view, the most difficult part of the Saitama training method—breaking through the human limiter—was completely bypassed by Grace taking a shortcut.

The so-called "upgrade" is nothing more than the sublimation of the "tool," changing human factors in all aspects and moving closer to "god."

If one cannot break free from the shackles of humanity like Saitama, then it is not difficult to forcibly remove the restrictions by using "great deeds" and then continue to implement the methods.

The only flaw in this method is that it requires a lot of time to try and persevere, and the process can be very painful. If the theory fails, it will be a loss for Charles.

and so……

He needs lab mice.

With his hands clasped behind his back, Ciel gazed helplessly at the sky, sighing...

From despising masters to understanding them, and finally becoming a master yourself.

Ciel stroked the [Mana Dragon] that was lying on his hand, fast asleep and as fat as a pig, absorbing Ciel's dissipated magic, and sighed deeply.

"Young lady, do you want to become stronger?"

"miss you!"

"Let's start with running!" (doge emoji)

"Yes!"

Chapter 274 Beginning Self-Discipline!

"One, two, one, inhale and exhale."

"come on!"

"Hang in there, ahhhhhh! *burp*"

Passionate sounds echoed along Orario's main street in the early morning.

"Ah, it's happening again."

"Ciel-kun, you've brought the sisters out for exercise again? What would you like today?"

"Cheese toast, double beef burger, and four black coffees, please!"

Starting sometime during the day, every day at seven o'clock, a group of heavily armored soldiers would appear on North Street, one of whom was a small soldier carrying a huge backpack, panting heavily, and would begin running around Orario.

They were always accompanied by a little bear, with a gray-haired boy shamelessly munching on a hamburger sitting on its back.

"What are you looking at? Run! You're ten minutes slower today than yesterday." Charles timed the round trip with his pocket watch. "If you can make it back and forth in ten minutes, then you'll be allowed to have potato balls!"

“Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh————”

Ais was the first to roar. Carrying a huge rock weighing hundreds of kilograms on her back, she frantically strode forward, sweat seeping into the ground through the gaps in her armor, leaving behind footprints.

"Ahhh, no, I can't go on. I can't run anymore! Ugh—" Cassandra lifted her helmet, her eyes rolling back: "Water, give me water..."

"Here, have a cup of black coffee first thing in the morning, then continue with cardio on an empty stomach! Go go go!" Charles handed the paper cup he had stored on Pochi to Cassandra.

"Why do I have to train too..." Fels was on all fours, panting on the ground.

"Look at you, all weak. As a support role, you need to have strong physical abilities. If you can't outrun the enemy when necessary, that won't do!"

“If that’s the case, then why don’t you run with us?” Fels panted.

Charles shamelessly replied, "I'm a master, so of course I'm responsible for recording your real-time condition so I can adjust the training intensity. Besides, life is about movement. Don't you think it feels great to breathe in the air?"

"I feel like I'm about to die," Fels said, his face pale.

She hadn't experienced that feeling of her lungs exploding in eight hundred years...

"It's a level 2, at least. Hurry up. How come you can't even compare to Cassandra?" Charles complained.

"Ugh—" Fels didn't argue, ran a few more steps, and spat out a mouthful of fluid.

"I really think there's something wrong with your course."

Charles took a big bite of the hamburger, the rich beef flavor stimulating his taste buds: "Hmm, I don't think so?"

Dinosaurs fought against wolves, dinosaurs fought against wolves.

The clanging of heavy armor echoed rhythmically. The squad ran from North Street to South Street, then back again.

As everyone collapsed outside the gates of the Twilight Mansion, Charles pressed his pocket watch: "Not bad, 30 seconds faster than yesterday. Keep it up."

Charles took out some fried potato balls he had bought along the way from Poch's backpack and distributed them to everyone as breakfast.

The fried carbohydrates exploded in the mouths of the four little ones; at this moment, nothing is more joyful than showing off their food.

Riveria also instructed the maid to bring out milk and eggs to provide the necessary protein.

She looked at Ais, whose legs were trembling and who was covered in sweat after removing her armor, and comforted her:

"Is your body still able to handle it? Do you need some treatment?"

Charles refused, saying, "Muscles can only grow after they are destroyed and rebuilt; they don't need immediate treatment."

Ais pushed away Riveria's hand that reached out to support her: "I can do it!"

She caught her breath and quickly devoured the potato balls and a large jug of milk. Then, without pausing, she entered the courtyard.

In the center of the lawn were several barbells of different weights, the heaviest of which weighed nearly 10 tons. The barbells were all over 2 meters tall.

Ais bypassed the giant discus that was taller than her and found her training equipment on the other side.

Of course, 10 tons is not a weight that Ais can lift right now. Ais, who is close to level 4 and is not strength-specialized, can only freely wield weapons weighing around 500 kg.

The maximum load-bearing capacity is estimated to be around 2 to 3 tons.

To reach the 10-ton level, one would need at least an LV5 rating.

And so, in full view of everyone, Ais began to squat while dragging a 2-ton barbell.

"one two three……"

"99, 100, ... , !"

Then came another hundred bench presses instead of push-ups, and a hundred sit-ups with a 1-ton barbell.

After completing her scheduled training for the day, Ais's legs and arms were trembling with exhaustion.

While the others didn't carry the same terrifying load as Ais, they all completed their respective training sessions.

"The real show has only just begun."

At this moment, Ciel stood opposite Ais, with a huge dragon-like monster circling behind him.

The moment Sharl's crimson whip hit the ground, the super [Mana Dragon] that Riveria had raised by repeatedly rubbing balls roared.

"Here comes my Tamashii! My breath is like thunder! The earth shatters and the jade shatters with a thunderous roar!"

Roar----

The enormous dragon head rose, and countless lightning orbs spewed from the mouth of the [Mana Dragon].

Exhausted, the group had no choice but to drag their disheveled bodies and desperately try to escape.

"You'll die if you don't dodge! Struggle hard... Hehehehe."
