Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Get Strong Through Exercise!

Two hours later.

Chen Ye completed a 10-kilometre run on the treadmill.

Under normal circumstances, world champions could run below 25 minutes, professional long-distance runners within 40 minutes, and healthy individuals could finish in about an hour.

Chen Ye, however, took a full two hours to complete the run, drenching himself in sweat and nearing exhaustion.

This highlighted the intensity of such workouts, often challenging for the average man to endure.

In just two hours, he managed to exhaust a once youthful body.

Exhausted, Chen Ye lay on the floor, resting and examining his attribute panel.

After completing the 10-kilometre run, there was no change in his attributes.

Chen Ye furrowed his brow, but without dwelling on it, he rested before moving on to other exercises.

For the rest of the day, aside from eating and bathroom breaks, Chen Ye stayed in the basement, dedicated to intense workouts.

His unusual behaviour left his parents concerned since he had never shown much interest in physical activities before.

“Is he traumatised?”

Chen’s father questioned, postponing his plans to go out.

“Definitely!”

Yang Rongzhi’s face turned grim.

“Our son is probably trying to exhaust himself to numb the pain and avoid thinking about those heartbreaking matters.”

Unseen mental images can be deadly, and this was no exception.

By now, the couple was convinced that some despicable girl had harmed their son’s innocent soul, pushing him to exercise so intensely.

In the evening, in the basement.

Chen Ye finally completed all the exercises from the Saitama Training Method.

Exhausted and drenched in sweat, he didn’t feel like moving a finger.

As he completed the exercises, he suddenly sensed an invisible force surging within him, improving his physical condition.

Although the fatigue lingered, he genuinely felt a boost in strength.

Excited, Chen Ye opened his attribute panel:

– Name: Chen Ye

– Constitution: 12

– Spirit: 11

– Strength: 14

– Agility: 14

Talent: Saitama Physique.

As expected, except for the spirit attribute remaining unchanged, the other three attributes each increased by 5 points, totaling a 15-point increase.

Chen Ye was thrilled, realising he had made the right choice.

Saitama Physique was indeed real!

Perhaps others had also chosen to fuse with the Caped Baldy before, but lacking knowledge of the Saitama Training Method rendered their fusion useless.

Chen Ye’s excitement was palpable.

He had the chance to truly unleash the potential of the Saitama Physique!

After the excitement settled, Chen Ye began contemplating.

“My spirit attribute hasn’t increased. Does the Saitama Physique not enhance spirit? Is the original One Punch Man’s spirit weak?”

“And according to the daily increase of 5 points for each attribute, after three years, my strength attribute would be over 5400 points. This is over 540 times that of a normal person, but can I really achieve the ability to split the atmosphere with a serious punch, like Saitama?”

“So, is my Saitama Physique a watered-down version? Fusing with a hero does not grant a hundred percent talent?”

Chen Ye couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

According to his estimate, after three years, he might become the strongest human, but it wouldn’t guarantee invincibility on the Blue Star.

Monstrous King-class creatures were terrifying, posing world-ending threats whenever they appeared.

To date, there was no record of humans killing a Monstrous King, with many top-tier experts meeting their demise at their hands.

Thinking about this, Chen Ye felt a bit uneasy.

Being invincible was essential for his peace of mind!

“So, for my nerfed version of the Saitama Physique to truly be invincible, it might take ten or even twenty years?”

“Wait a moment… the Saitama Training Method also includes the exercise ‘no air conditioning even in hot weather.’ So, will training in hot weather increase my attributes?”

It was currently May, with about a month to go before hot weather arrived. He would test it then.

Regardless, Chen Ye was quite satisfied with his Saitama Physique.

After resting, he climbed up from the floor, took a shower, and returned to the living room.

It was already evening, and the aroma of dinner wafted from the dining room, where the family’s maid was preparing the meal.

“Son, you’ve been exercising all day and must be exhausted. Dinner will be ready soon; can you rest afterward?”

Chen Ye’s mother, Yang Rongzhi, called from the sofa.

Chen Ye, feeling hungry, nodded, “Alright.”

Looking around, he didn’t see his father’s figure and asked, “Where’s Dad?”

“Your dad had something come up suddenly and went out. He won’t be coming back for dinner tonight,” Yang Rongzhi explained.

Chen Ye didn’t pay much attention, accustomed to his father’s busy schedule, especially with business engagements.
