Chapter 6 : Feather Book

　As the black symbol on the palm of his hand changed, a thick book as black as ink appeared in Zhang Yu's hand.

"Feather book?"

　Looking at the two big words on the cover, Zhang Yu was slightly stunned.　

　Then, as his heart skipped a beat, the black book in his hand moved without wind and naturally opened to the first page.　

　"Is this a catalogue?"　

　Looking at the table of contents, except for the preface on the first line, the rest are lines of blurry and unclear handwriting, as if they were coded.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Does this mean that there is only the prologue now?"　

　With a thought, he opened the prologue, and what appeared in front of him were the portraits of the characters on the left page, and the lines of data and information on the right page.

　　"Is this a painting of me?"

The portrait on the left page showed Zhang Yu sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, as if he was meditating.　　

Its expression is so lifelike that it feels as if the person in the painting is still breathing.

　　In particular, there was a faint glow flowing in it, and Zhang Yu felt that it should represent the flow of magic power in his body.　

　On the right side of the page are rows of information and data, which are:

　　Zhang Yu　

　Dao Heart( Level 1)　

　Mana = 7.74　

　Physical strength = level 0.831　　

Martial arts: 36 bodybuilding moves (level 1), free fighting (level 1)　

　Taoist magic: Basic breathing method (level 1), basic mind training method (level 1)　

　"Is this me?"

　　"The above is the data of various immortal qualities. The Dao Heart Level here is the same as the test in school. It cannot be accurate to the decimal point."　

　"The following are the martial arts and Taoist techniques that I have learned so far?"

　　Among the four skills below, in addition to the 36 physical fitness moves used to increase physical strength, there is also the free-hand fighting learned in martial arts class for training practical combat capabilities, the basic breathing method for refining magic power in mana class, and the basic mind-refining method for improving the heart of Taoism. All of them are entry-level 1 skills.

　　Zhang Yu looked at the numbers above and thought to himself, "Is this the potential that the evil god has unleashed? This book can detect my various attributes?"

　　"But... there should be more than that, right?"

　　"According to what the evil god said, my potential has been stimulated, but what kind of potential is just testing? I can test it every day at school."

　　"It should have other uses."　

　Thinking of this, Zhang Yu decided to test it. He focused his attention on the attribute numbers and shouted in his heart: "Yu Shu! Give me some points!"

　　Looking at the unchanged data in the book, Zhang Yu secretly sighed that this evil god was just not strong enough and did not stimulate his potential at all.

　I tried to turn to the next page, but found four big words "To be continued" written on it.

　　Thinking of the content that had not yet been displayed in the previous catalog, Zhang Yu guessed in his heart: "What does it mean? Can this ability be upgraded? Only after upgrading can the following functions be obtained?"

　　He could only turn back to the front again and continue to focus on his rows of data and skills to see if it would trigger any effect.

　　Just as he was concentrating on 'Thirty-six Fitness Moves (Level 1)', he suddenly felt the line of words jump slightly, and was actually dragged directly, moving back and forth on the page with his thoughts.

　　Just as Zhang Yu dragged the 'Thirty-six Fitness Exercises (Level 1)' back and forth on the page, wondering what the use of it was.

　　The 'Thirty-Six Physical Fitness Moves (Level 1)' suddenly condensed when it touched the portrait, and was actually directly absorbed by Zhang Yu in the portrait.　　As it absorbed, Zhang Yu felt as if a clear spring was pouring down on his crown. An indescribable feeling surged in his heart, making him feel that he had a strange connection with the Zhang Yu in the portrait.

　　At the same time, the portrait that was originally sitting cross-legged suddenly stood up and began to practice the 36 body-building moves one by one.

　　A line of small words appeared above the portrait: Thirty-six Body Building Moves (Level 1)+

　　Looking at the small '+' at the end, Zhang Yu suddenly became excited: "Here it comes! My potential has really been stimulated!"

　　His attention quickly focused on the '+', and it felt as if he had pressed it with his mind.　

　The next moment, the '+' blurred slightly and then turned into '(0/10)'

　　Then a sudden realization came to Zhang Yu's mind: by practicing the Thirty-Six Body Building Moves ten times, he could complete his martial arts upgrade.

　　Looking at the 'Thirty-six Physical Fitness Moves (Level 1 ) (0/10)' on the feather book, Zhang Yu was surprised and thought, "Is it possible to upgrade this martial art by practicing it ten times?"

　　You know, since the beginning of the school year, Zhang Yu has practiced the 36 physical fitness moves many times, but he never felt like he was making any progress.　

　"Ten times?"　

　Zhang Yu couldn't wait to try it. He took a step forward and with a loud bang, his flesh and blood twisted like a giant python, bursting out with layers of power.

　　Although Zhang Yu used equipment to practice the 36 body-building exercises at school, that was only to increase the effectiveness of the exercises.

　　In fact, as the most basic physical training martial art, the Thirty-Six Physical Exercises can be practiced with or without equipment. Practitioners can even focus on different aspects such as strength, speed, and agility according to their own inclinations.　　For example, Zhang Yu originally chose the direction of balanced development of strength and speed, and did not become a big guy.

　　At this moment, Zhang Yu was seen moving back and forth in the small room. His feet made banging sounds on the floor, and his flesh and blood gradually heated up after constantly expanding and contracting.　

　But before he could practice a few moves, he heard a burst of scolding from the surroundings: "Are you sick? Demolishing the house in the middle of the night?!"

　　Zhang Yu stopped immediately and said helplessly, "The sound insulation in the rental house is too poor. I can't practice martial arts at night."

　　Looking at the feather book appearing in his palm, Zhang Yu could not suppress his eagerness. He just wanted to train hard immediately and practice the thirty-six physical fitness exercises ten times in one breath to see the effect.

　　"How about changing places?"

　　"I remember there was an unfinished building nearby with no one in it..."

　　…　　

 In darkness.

　　The sounds of bang bang bang continued to echo in the corridor of the unfinished building.　

　As the neon lights on the distant streets flickered back and forth, the figure of a young man occasionally emerged from the shadows.　

　It was Zhang Yu who rushed to the unfinished building to practice the 36 body-building moves.　

　At this moment, he had a serious look in his eyes, practicing the 36 exercises for body building one by one. After a while, he was sweating all over and looked very hot.

　　Zhang Yu had been exercising for the entire morning and finally fell to the ground exhausted. Without the help of injections, pills or food supplements, he felt sore all over when he practiced the 36 body-building moves. Every movement and every exertion brought pain as if his muscles were being torn.　

　However, thinking about the changes in the feather book, his spirits were lifted, and he finally insisted on practicing the 36 physical fitness moves to complete them.　　Panting, Zhang Yu couldn't wait to open his palms, and the feather book appeared again along with his thoughts.

　　Looking at the 'Thirty-six Physical Fitness Exercises( Level 1) (1/10)' above, Zhang Yu couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy on his face.

　　"Is this my potential?"

　　"Improving the Thirty-Six Bodybuilding Forms to Level 2...it seems like it can actually work."　

　"I'm going to practice ten times tonight!"　

　Zhang Yu couldn't wait to start the 36 body-building exercises for the second time.　　But after a while, he was so tired that he sat down on the ground, feeling as if his hands and feet were no longer his own.　

　"No, I've reached my limit. I can only try again tomorrow."　

　Just when Zhang Yu decided to stop exercising, take a break and go home to have a good sleep, a chill suddenly surged from his heart.　

　At the same time, a voice sounded in his mind.　

　"Please abide by the ritual agreement and work hard to complete your wish. Do not deliberately be lazy and procrastinate."10

　"Please abide by the ritual agreement and work hard to fulfill your wish. Don't deliberately be lazy and procrastinate."9　

　"Please abide by the ritual agreement and work hard to fulfill your wish. Don't deliberately be lazy and procrastinate."8

　　As the countdown of that voice continued, the chill in Zhang Yu's heart became more and more intense, as if something was about to rush out of his body and tear apart all his flesh and blood.　

　"Ritual... agreement... wish..." He also reacted immediately: "Could this be the power of the ritual of summoning gods?"

　　Zhang Yu immediately thought of the words that the rag doll had said.　

　…　

　"If you choose to refuse to fulfill my wish, or deliberately delay or even fail in the process of fulfilling it, then you will be ripped apart by the backlash of the ritual, and your flesh and blood will explode and your soul will be shattered."

　　Zhang Yu thought to himself, "So... I plan to fulfill my second wish by studying hard, getting admitted to a prestigious university, joining a large sect, and making money."

　　"So if you slack off in this process, it will be considered as deliberately being lazy and procrastinating in fulfilling your wishes?"

　　"If I don't listen, will I die from the backlash of the ritual?"

　　Hearing the countdown reaching 3 unknowingly, Zhang Yu jumped up quickly.　　With a scream, he endured the pain of his muscles being torn apart and began to practice the 36 body-building exercises.

　　And the moment he started practicing, the countdown completely disappeared.
