Physique Stat Crystals

There was a way to cultivate your physique stats and that was by absorbing stat crystal. There were crystals called Strength crystals that were colored red, Dexterity crystals that were colored green, Endurance crystals that were colored yellow, and Focus crystals that were colored blue. There were also Health, Qi, and, Stamina crystals and their regeneration crystals.

As such, it can help in raising your physique stats by absorbing the crystals while cultivating your physique.

Xuan as well as the others ventured into the monsters' forest to collect those. He had a sword on his waist and leather armor with a curved dagger on his back. He also got a shield on his back. A bow and a quiver of arrows were on his back. He also didn't forget to bring potions with him.

With his bedroll attached to his backpack, he was ready to go on an adventure. Also brought his rations with him, dried meat that was ready to be made into soup with just water and salt.

They went on an adventure on the edge of human settlements. Today was its weekend so they had time for a little leisure and to train his physique stats. It was zero at the moment and so he needs to improve it.

The way was lonely and the wind was the only one that whispered. Leaves were being carried by them. They ventured along the way and the path led to the entrance of the monster's forest.

The entrance was gloomy and depressing. Howls of air were what he could hear from where he stood. The forest floor was covered with dried leaves and had a foreboding atmosphere. As he entered, the forest became dark and the temperature dropped.

He delved further into the deeper parts of the forest and soon heard howls of animals inside it.

"Demon wolves, they are nasty ones. Their boss has that Dexterity stat crystal. I must get one for myself. You all will also have your own," Xuan said in a low voice.

"Yey,"

"Yes!"

They travel and follow their tracks, and the hunt begins, tracking them inside the forest will be an easy task for him. Wolves were the ones who hunted but not the ones who were hunted instead.

And so, they were not wary of anything that would cause them harm.

He followed them and then saw them feasting on a deer. Others bicker with the others for their share.

Xuan then climbed a tree and then watched them from above. Others did so too.

He broke a monster attractant on the footing of the tree and the wolves immediately followed the scent. They arrived at the footing then Xuan equipped his bow. Firing at their heads one by one.

They barked at him from below and even when their comrades were slowly killed one by one, they were not backing down. Xuan then smirked, he knew they would not fall back anytime soon.

He fired at their heads and they went limp immediately after the arrow hit. A perfect weapon for him with low stats.

With the potion working, ten of them fell even without making a fight.

After the monster attractant lost its effects, he immediately dropped down from the top of the tree. He then stabbed them and only one boss monster was present. One stat crystal floated from their bodies.

He grabbed it and then halted his movements after a growl was heard. He looked back and saw a demon tiger, ready to pounce at him anytime. Others were already at the top of the trees. They were that fast to climb!

"Tsk!"

He was then attacked and he rolled on the side. He drew his bow and fired at it. It then ran towards him and he fired at it. The tiger was then hit on the shoulders and he backflipped on the side. Then fired at it in the head after they crossed paths.

The enemy then growled as it removed the arrows from its body.

"Shit," Xuan cursed.

"Master be careful!" Ken shouted.

Xuan drew his sword on his waist and put his bow on his back. He then also drew his curved dagger on his back and wielded the sword with it.

"Come and get some,"

Xuan then dashed towards it and the enemy leaped towards him. He then slid his body to the ground and then slashed the tiger on its abdomen with his sword and dagger.

Its abdomen was opened by his slash and the enemy was heavily wounded. Blood splurted out and then the tiger went shaky on its footing. It then crashed to the ground and went limp.

Xuan then ran and stabbed its back towards its chest which pierced its heart in the process. Immediately, the crystal floated and he grabbed it.

The demon tiger's crystal boasts of its +1 Strength, +1 Dexterity, +1 Endurance, and +10 Health points. It gave a stat crystal as it was a boss level of monster. While the demon wolf boss only gives +1 Dexterity.

"Yey! Master is so strong!" they yelled.

They soon hunted more demon wolf bosses in the process and had 8 of them making their reap into a fruitful one. Xuan then gave them one each and he grabbed the demon tiger crystal for himself. Well, he needed it the most as he lacked stats.

Xuan then gave them the crystals. They then rested for a while and then planned to go back to his dorm. They traveled back and camped on the roadside.

They made a fire pit and installed his bedroll on the dried leaves. With a small pot, he put his dried meat in water. Then season it with small salt and ginger. Also, add cabbages to the pot and ground black pepper.

He cooked it well and ate with his bowl. Letting it cool down a bit and sipping the broth. Eating plenty after his tiring battle in the forest. They installed a tent and then rested inside. The wind was chilly and it was colliding with his tent. He slept in cool weather and comfort.

Morning came and they resumed his travels. The sun had gone up from the east and the birds sounded in the forest.

They saw the city and then saw guards at the gates. They entered and then traveled towards the school.

Upon reaching his dorm, he entered his room and then put the 10 demon wolf crystals on his bed; as well as the demon tiger crystal.

Xuan gave it to them. As for the others, they started to absorb it via cultivation. They all went to a lotus position and then started to cultivate while absorbing the crystals. Using the versatile refining cultivation, he was slowly absorbing the crystals and immediately felt that the crystals were slowly dissipating. It then went inside his body and became nourishment for his physique stats.

He then saw that all his physique stat crystal was absorbed by his body and greatly felt the difference from before.

They went to class in the morning and were mostly fast asleep most of the time and went hunting in the forest for stat crystals in the night.

They soon managed to have huge amounts of stat crystals that they all absorbed. Making them hunt almost all the monsters in the forest.

From wolves to demon bears to gargoyles and many more. All were hunted.

Located in their class, they were all limp and felt weak. Heads were settled on their tables.

"Master, I feel so weak. I might pass out," Kniel said to him.

"Damn, I can't raise my hands. I feel so sleepy and tired," Ren said and started to snore.

"Me too, I wanna sleep," Truin said then went asleep.

"So tired," Kilin then slammed his head on the desk.
