My Muscles Adapt 10,000 Times Faster

The purple glow beneath his skin pulsed rhythmically, each pulse sending another wave of energy through his body.

His skeletal bony frame, just hours ago, was beginning to regain its lost mass. Flesh reformed over his bones, his limbs thickening as new cells filled the voids left by the rune\'s consumption.

Within three hours, the changes were more than obvious. More than half of his damaged and dried cells had been revived, their strength restored by the crystal\'s power.

The silver light of the moons continued to bathe his room, beautifying his room, but it was the purple glow beneath his skin that held all his attention.

Tron clenched his fist and the air trapped within his palm exploded, creating a tiny shockwave that blasted the surrounding object backwards.

Although he healed slower than he had expected, it was still better than his normal healing pace. Without the crystal, it would have taken more than a month for him to heal naturally. Thankfully, he had the purple Crystal on him.

The strength of a Tier 9 Acolyte surged through Tron\'s body like a wave. This made him want to repeat the process of charging the rune with his flesh and blood once more but he ultimately stopped himself.

The gains were obvious but the risk were also obvious. It took his body the entire night to heal even with the purple crystal present. Which meant that he would be rendered weak and would have to wait till night time before he healed again.

Hence, Tron made a plan to repeat the process only at night when the people crystal\'s healing factor is active where he would take the most advantage.

But for now he needed to complete his daily quest.

Tron immediately got down on all for and started his push up.

[Ding! Daily Quest available]

❰Daily quest: ❱

〘2000 Push Ups (0/2000) incomplete〙

〘2000 Sit Ups (0/2000) incomplete〙

〘200 kilometers (0/200) ) incomplete〙

〘Punishment: DEATH!〙

This time, it took Tron about five hours to fully completely the daily quest which granted 5 stat points each in his attributes due to the 1.5 times reward from the system.

Done with his daily training in Darkbane forest, Tron started heading back to his dormitory but just as he reached the front of his door, he saw that there was actually a student waiting there for him.

Tron frowned as he recognized this student was also a first-year student freshmen like him.

Seeing Tron, the young man\'s eyes perked up. "You\'re here finally."

Tron tilted his head as he walked towards his door, wondering why the student had been waiting here for him.

"I have news from Instructor Daphne." This words immediately caught Tron\'s attention.

Magus Daphne had been the one to save him from the young Genius Valtor. Otherwise, he would have been died at this moment as a Twin-circle Magus attack wasn\'t a force his body could adapt to.

"What news?"

Tron asked.

"The Magus asked me to inform you to attend today\'s lecture as she wants to give an important message announcement to the entire class."

"Oh?"

Tron was slightly surprised. She really asked him to attend today\'s lecture, wasn\'t that disobeying the Dean\'s words?

"Alright, I will be there in a bit."

Hearing this, the young man shook his head.

"No, it has to be now. It\'s an impromptu assignment and Magus Daphne is already briefing the students of the mission. Yet, you\'re delaying me. If you wish, come and if you don\'t, it has nothing to do with me."

With that the young man huffed coldly and then turned around towards the outer stairs and leapt off the ledge without hesitation.

Tron\'s eyes widened as he watched the young man plummet down the dorm.

However, in the next second, the sound of air been pierced rang out as the students floated in midair and flew out from the area like a submarine in the ocean.

"Can\'t believe they\'ve learnt the Glide spell just a week into lecture." Tron\'s eyes squinted with a strange light.

However, Tron suddenly smirked coldly. It was only a matter of time before he gain access on information on how to rebuild his arcana cortex.

For now, he only needed to be patient.

Without hesitation, Tron also leapt out the stairway ledge.

"BOOM!"

The ground beneath his feet shattered and cracked to smithereens and with a couple of jumps, he vanished into a series of afterimages and vanished into the streets.

It wasn\'t up to five minutes that Tron traced the young man to an opened field with numerous students present in the field.

As soon as Tron arrived in the field, Magus Daphne who had been present at the forefront of the gathering suddenly glanced at him for a second before she spoke.

"Since everyone\'s here. I will brief you on the details of the assignment."

"You will be transported into a 1st-dimensional world where the assignment will take place."

"Now, there are no rules. Except killing others. The more beast you kill, the more points you will earn."

"The highest will earn the most resources from the college. And this is simply perfect since most people are dissatisfied with the previous Prime student chosen."

With that, she continued to give a series of information and messages to.the students.

...

"Lastly, the exam area is vast, with a diameter of 500 kilometers. Given your strength, if you encounter a life-threatening situation and immediately request aid...it may take more than a minute to receive sufficient support. Normally, it takes five to ten minutes."

"Be very careful."

Immediately her voice fell, the students eyes suddenly turned blurry.

The entire world suddenly went dark and all the students found themselves seated in massive train.

"Buzz~"

The flying airship sped forward, and everyone suddenly opened their eyes, although shocked, they had been informed previously and hence sat quietly on the seats, resting and recovering from the stun spell.

Tron did the same.

"The assignment is indeed completely different from what heard." Tron thought to himself.

The last assignment had weaker participants and a limited area of 100 kilometers.

Thus, the academy could easily monitor everyone\'s movements and ensure safety.

But this time?

First, there were only about a thousand participants, but the area was ten times larger, making surveillance more difficult.

Secondly, the participants\' strength had greatly increased.

How to rescue them in a life-and-death struggle?

Primarily, it relied on oneself.

"Perhaps this is the thoughtful arrangement of the academy." Tron thought.

From \'full protection\' initially to \'minimal protection\' in the end, becoming more like real combat.

This maximized their training.

"However, casualties are unavoidable." Tron recalled the data he saw a few days ago.

Each year, each academy enrolls about 250 freshmen, but fewer than 200 graduate.

Why? Most die in the impromptu assignments and life-and-death training.

This is the path of a full-time Magus.

By graduation, the death rate exceeds 20%, not to mention those who join the front lines of astral wars after graduation.

…

Three hours later.

Amidst waves of discomfort, the airship finally entered a mysterious star realm.

Which astral realm? Tron didn\'t know.

Upon disembarking.

"So many big trees."

"Jungle? The legendary fourth impromptu assignment base, it\'s my first time here."

"The sun is in the sky, but it seems slightly smaller."

"It looks like the environment of this star realm is similar to Earth." Tron observed.

"No particularly tall mountains, but hills everywhere."

"And tall trees over a hundred meters high everywhere, a complex environment."

After a while.

They were taken to the impromptu assignment site.

Half an hour later.

"Boom~" Amidst loud rumbling, the hatch opened, and Tron was the sixth to be dropped from the aircraft.

Leaping from dozens of meters high.

He landed lightly on the crown of a large tree and quickly descended to the ground.

The aircraft swiftly departed.

"At noon, the assignment officially begins." Tron glanced at the positioning ring. "It ends at noon the day after tomorrow."

It lasts for 48 hours.

"Let\'s go." Tron chose a direction and walked into the dense forest.

The school had provided the participants with a lot of information about the fourth base.

But only terrain information.

The specific magical creatures here? Tron didn\'t know much, only that there were humanoid creatures and beasts.

He could only find out slowly.

After advancing more than ten miles.

Suddenly.

As if sensing something in advance, Tron\'s eyes narrowed.

"Boom!"

His speed instantly surged.

With a powerful step, the huge deadwood underfoot shattered, and he shot forward like a cannonball.

An enemy!

"Roar~" A massive beast that had been blending with the mountainside suddenly realized it had been exposed.

It opened its bloody mouth wide, lunging at Tron.

Its body was over three meters long, with limbs very much like a crocodile, but far more agile.

The two sides crossed paths in an instant.

"Kill!"

In that moment, Tron, as if prescient, precisely avoided the attack.

His blade burst out, stabbing forward.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Several impromptu assignment shadows flashed.

"Poof~" The sharp impromptu assignment head pierced the magical creature\'s head.

The impromptu assignment was quickly retracted.

"Boom~" The huge magical creature\'s body fell heavily onto the deadwood, causing a loud crash and sending wood fragments flying.
