Chapter 8 (1/2)

It was two days before the official magister exam.

In addition to having at least 500 kilograms of strength, one would also need to cultivate magic power to become a magister.

Of course, the apprentice magister examination did not test one’s magic power.

At the level of apprentice magister, their magic power was still too weak, which could not play a decisive role in battle.

Only the following magister examinations would begin to test the amount of magic power.

To become a magister, he had to manifest his magic power into a magic core.

The next step was to become a tier-two magister who could use magic cores to support his recovery and attack.

Tier 3 required the integration of the monster core into the body.

Tier 4 required the magic core to become solidified.

This was the cultivation method after becoming a magister. Every path was incomparably arduous and lengthy.

At the moment, Catherine could only stay down to earth.

One step at a time. She would first practice the channeling method and accumulate her magic power before anything else.

After dinner, Austin went to take a bath.

Austin did not work today, but he had been busy all day and was rather tired.

As he soaked in the warm tub, Austin’s entire body relaxed. His pores relaxed, and sleepiness arose.

After a while, the system notification sounded again.

“Ding… host is taking a bath. Your cells have evolved and obtained the ability to breathe underwater.”

Austin, who was initially a little sleepy, immediately perked up.

Breathe underwater?

“You mean to breathe in the water like a fish?”

Austin immediately gave it a try.

He submerged his head completely into the water and did not deliberately hold his breath.

Soon, Austin realized that his breathing in the water was completely unobstructed. He did not even need to think about holding his breath.

“This is so amazing! I don’t have gills, so am I breathing through my skin?”

As he pondered, Austin tried to find a scientific explanation.

But he soon gave up.

This world itself was the most unscientific existence!

Why try to explain the unknown with limited knowledge?

“This ability to breathe in water is something else. It’s very suitable for swimming and bathing.”

Austin dived back into the water, soaking his entire body in warm water.

After the bath, Austin returned to his room.

He continued to experiment around as he tried to make his cells evolve.

Austin sprawled on the floor and began doing push-ups.

One, two, three…

Austin’s arms kept pushing and bending as he quickly finished a hundred push-ups.

“Ding… host is doing push-ups. Cell evolution. Increase strength by 0.5 kilograms.”

When Austin heard that, he realized that doing push-ups indeed promoted cell evolution and increased his strength.

Although this growth was minimal at best, it was still one way to train.

“Normal push-ups are too easy. Time to do weighted push-ups.”

Austin increased the difficulty by carrying the metal plates that Catherine had used to work on her strength on his back.

Austin put on a total of one hundred kilograms as he laid on the floor and continued doing push-ups.

“Ding… host is doing push-ups. Cell evolution. Increase strength by 0.5 kilograms.”

“Ding… host is doing push-ups. Cell evolution. Increase strength by 0.5 kilograms.”

“Ding… host is doing push-ups. Cell evolution. Increase strength by 0.5 kilograms.”
