'Huh?! What about these question marks, and why is my physique temporarily sealed?
To begin with, when did I develop a physique?'
When Alex saw this, he was perplexed and asked the system a question.
'Hey system, what does it mean?'
[Host, do you remember how you couldn't cultivate and how your body hurt when you tried to absorb Qi?]
Alex nodded slowly, 'Of course, I remember that pain was unimaginable,' Alex said slowly. "I won't forget it, but how does it relate to my question?"
[Well, you see, because of your physique, you weren't able to cultivate, and every time you try to absorb Qi, your body will start hurting you only because of your physique.]
'My physique?'
[Yes, because of that, I have taken precautions and temporarily sealed your physique.]
'However, I still don't understand why my physique didn't allow me to cultivate.'
According to Alex, physiques are rare on this continent, and those who have them are considered geniuses because they will help them cultivate faster than their peers. So having such a physique should benefit him rather than hinder him.
[Your physique was interfering with your ability to absorb Qi, and because you lacked a cultivation base, your physique was causing damage to your body and weakening it, which is why I had to temporarily lock it.]
'Oh, so that explains it.'
'Wait a minute, if I had such a physique, how did my father not know?
Everyone at the age of ten will be tested for aptitude and element, and they will almost certainly be exposed if they have any physique.'
'When I was tested, I was deemed unfit to cultivate because I lacked an element and a physique.'
[Well, the host's physique is a little different and of a higher rank, so I don't think anyone will notice.]
'Oh, is my physique that impressive?
What is its rank?
Is it a sky-rank physique? Don't tell me it's a heavenly physique!' Alex's eyes shone brightly with anticipation.
He was ecstatic because having a heavenly physique would be a heaven-sent gift for him.
Even people with Earth-rank physiques were thought to have great talent.
In this world, physiques are classified as mortal, earth, sky, heavenly, and divine, with mortal being the lowest and divine being the highest.
They are also divided into four grades: low, mid, high, and peak.
Having an earth high-grade physique could get you into top sects or top clans; don't even mention a heaven high-grade physique; even having a low heaven high-grade physique will be enough; and about the divine high-grade physique, don't mention it; Alex has only read about it in books.
[I'm not sure, host.] The system replied, surprising Alex with its answer.
'What do you mean you don't know you are the one who sealed it?'
[Yes, I was the one who sealed your physique, but all I know is that it is of high rank.]
'All right, so when I start cultivating, it will be unlocked?'
[Yes, but it's more complicated; I'll explain more when you start cultivating; for the time being, you should concentrate on healing your body.]
'All right, but what about these questions about the bloodline and element?'
[I have no idea; perhaps it will reveal itself once you begin cultivating.]
'Fine. I should concentrate on getting better. For the time being, I'm only doing one day's worth of exercises to get my body healed to 2%. My body will be completely healed in 14 days.' he thought.
'I can't wait to start cultivating,' Alex exclaimed.
He began walking back toward his room, intending to take a bath. He needed to shower because his body stank of sweat.
After showering, he requested that a maid bring him some food; all of these exercises had made him hungry. So, after eating, Alex lay down on the bed and promptly fell asleep. Tiredness could be seen on his face as he struggled to keep his eyes open, and Alex soon fell asleep.
Alex passed out from exhaustion after his first day of training.
.....
14 days later...
The sun was still rising outside Alex's courtyard as morning approached. A young man was running through the courtyard.
"Ding"
[Run: 100/100 km completed]
[Congratulations host! It's a new record; you finished in 3 hours this time.
Alex took a deep breath and came to a halt when the notification appeared. Alex was not as tired this time; his body was drenched in sweat, but he could still do more exercises.
Alex's body transformed in a matter of weeks; his weak and boneless appearance has vanished now that his body is jacked with muscle.
His long, dark hair reached to his waist, and his black eyes radiated energy and confidence that his previous self hadn't possessed.
He was staring at the blue screen in front of him. Alex laughed. " Hahaha, after 15 days of hard work, my efforts have finally paid off."
[Run: 100/100Km (completed)]
[Squats: 100/100 (Completed)]
[Stay for 30 minutes at double the gravity: 30/30 (completed)]
[The host has received x1 body nourishment pill]
Finishing his run, Alex returned to his room and prepared to take a bath. As he was about to enter the bathroom, he stopped in front of a mirror and stared at his reflection. He couldn't believe how far he had come.
He hasn't left his house in weeks; he's established a routine for himself; he'll always get up early in the morning and start training like crazy; only when he's finished will he return to his room.
It was a simple routine, but it worked well. Alex decided not to leave his house until he became a cultivator, so he concentrated all of his efforts on training. Of course, he didn't just train; he also began reading books about the fundamentals of cultivating and learning more about this continent.
