My Muscle System in the Mage World

A surge of energy rushed through Aur's veins, igniting his blood and Qi with a sudden flare.

"Hmm?"

His thick, veiny arms pulsed with strength, but something was off. Instead of rising, his blood and Qi began to drain—fast. It wasn't subtle, either; the loss was alarming, spreading rapidly through his body.

Then, amidst the rush, Aur noticed a shift. His blood and Qi moved with ease, circulating more freely, and what remained grew stronger, more potent.

"Is it condensing?" Aur wondered, confusion flickering in his eyes. As the condensation continued, his muscles crackled, growing denser, power rippling through his veins.

"What... is happening?"

Stella looked at Aur with a disappointed gaze: "Look at the information I have provided you, brat, you can directly have all the information for you to reach up to Tier Six."

Aur paused as he looked at her with his deep crimson gaze.

Naturally, he knew about this information that was literally in his mind, but there was confusion and suspicion in his mind at the same time.

There was definitely some hidden danger in this information. If not for that, then she wouldn't have given him the means to reach Tier Six and should have only given the comprehensive training to reach Tier Four...

"Unless she wants to make me her subordinate," Aur thought in his heart.

"Brat, what are you thinking of?" Seeing the hesitant Aur, Stella immediately frowned in displeasure. "This is all the information that our sect has accumulated for eras; not even a single outsider has been able to get a glimpse of this information, although we ourselves couldn't use it."

Aur looked at her and nodded his head. "I see."

The physical body improvements were really suppressed in this world and couldn't be walked further down this path; the amount of resources was just too much. Even if there was a higher-tier spell that was modifying the body, it still was too much of a drag.

If you take an ordinary individual, reaching Tier One in body would be the same as a Wizard with high-grade talent reaching Tier Three.

The difference was too apparent.

Then Aur resumed inspecting the herbs and numerous treasures while he also looked through the information in his head.

"Hmm?"

Aur's hand immediately paused, his brows gradually widening with realisation.

"This… this could be done like this?"

He thought to himself, a shocked expression crossing his face.

In the information that this woman had transferred, there were detailed explanations on how to progress from the body.

There were details about Martial Arts and how they worked, and this Martial Art also seemed to be the main element to progress through the body Tier for those people in the so-called "Golden Age".

Aur wasn't too optimistic about this Martial Art at all; it resembled an imitation of exotic beasts, crafted from copying such things.

Immediately Aur couldn't help but shake his head; this Martial Art might be powerful, but it was not very suitable for him.

Aur was a firm believer that he could progress and strengthen himself solely by relying on his muscles; he didn't need to imitate exotic beasts to advance. Besides, where would he find these exotic beasts, anyway?

In that Golden Era, exotic beasts might have been common, but Aur had never seen a single one. The only creatures he had ever fought were wolves, imps, snakes, and many others, but none fell into the category of being too strong or having distinctive characteristics.

Aur remembered the brawny man he had fought against previously. This guy reflected a terrifying image of a giant bull that seemed to engulf a planet itself; although it was a mere illusion, even now, his heart palpitated just thinking about it.

Then Aur looked through the body path system and compared it to his own.

"Interesting; all these things are similar," Aur thought with keen interest. From increasing his blood and Qi and muscle mass to breaking through to the Tier One body, then subsequently advancing to Tier Two by strengthening the cells, all these things were experiences he had already encountered.

"Hmm?"

As Aur examined the information, he became increasingly shocked.

Even when he broke through to Tier Three and reached Tier Four…

"It looks like the strengthening of my cells doesn't stop."

Aur thought to himself. With trillions of cells to be strengthened, it was reasonable to assume that it would take a long time.

"The last key to breaking through Tier Four is the condensation of blood and Qi?" His eyes flashed with contemplation.

According to the information, when he reached the Peak of Tier Three in body, he would need to condense his blood and Qi to break through.

With the strengthening of his cells, Aur's physical limits had naturally increased.

"When your cells are strengthened to one percent, huh? You will reach the peak of Tier Three, and certain changes will happen in your body, allowing you to strengthen yourself again and increase your blood and Qi while condensing it." Aur thought to himself while muttering in his mind: "Muscle System."

The familiar red panel flickered in front of his crimson pupils, and he focused intently on two particular sections.

—

-Muscle mass: 20.50 (+) [Tier three (early)]- (Strengthened cells 66 billion/132 trillion)

-Life Level: 7.07 (+) [Tier two (33%)]

—

"That means I would have to reach 1.32 trillion in strengthened cells, and I am…"

Aur's expression turned bitter. If he had to rely on his daily quest to achieve this, it would take an unimaginable amount of time.

Every three hundred days, he could manage a minor breakthrough.

He was only in the early stage of Tier Three; the stages for Tier Three were divided into Early, Mid, High, and Peak.

That meant he would have to wait a little less than four years if he followed the normal path and this was if things were monogamous.

These points couldn't account for anything, it was 20 points for him to reach Tier Three, who knows it might be double the 20 points just to reach Tier Four, the gap between Tier Three and Four was just too much.
