Chapter 99: Purple Power Trait, Dong Zhuo recognizes a son-in-law!

Early in the morning, after rising with the rooster, the village rang with rhythmic shouts.

Four neatly arranged squads of youths, carrying heavy packs, were jogging around the village under Gao Shun's guidance and the leadership of Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, Chen Qing'an, and Liu Bai Tu.

The five-kilometer weighted cross-country run every morning had now become a unique scenic line in Wucun Township.

The villagers who woke up early enjoyed commenting on which of the village's most energetic youths ran fast or slow that day.

At home, Duan Yu held a giant rock weighing five hundred jin and lifted it with all his might.

Every muscle on his body looked as if it had been carved by a god.

In just half a month, Duan Yu discovered that his weight had increased significantly.

But it wasn't fat; it was muscle.

High-intensity training, combined with a sharp increase in food intake, made Duan Yu feel as if he had grown a size larger.

His arm circumference, thighs, chest muscles, and abdominal muscles had all clearly grown.

And it wasn't just muscle.

He didn't know if it was because of the system, but he felt his height had also begun a second growth spurt.

The pants he used to wear seemed a bit short.

【Ding, the 【Tenfold Trait】 has taken effect. Host lifted the giant rock once, effect increased tenfold. Congratulations to the Host for gaining +1 EXP.】

【Ding, the 【Tenfold Trait】 has taken effect. Host lifted the giant rock once, effect increased tenfold. Congratulations to the Host for gaining +1 EXP.】

【Ding, the 【Tenfold Trait】 has taken effect. Host lifted the giant rock once,.......】

With every lift, the sound of the system adding experience echoed in his mind.

There were no intact bows left in the house.

Any that could be used had had their strings snapped by him.

Only the Precious Carved Bow given to him by Dong Yi remained.

Therefore, the progress of upgrading the Archery Trait had to be paused.

But for some reason, he had been feeling an increasingly severe sense of crisis lately.

Therefore, training could absolutely not stop.

If he couldn't practice archery, he would train his strength.

【Ding, the 【Tenfold Trait】 has taken effect. Host lifted the giant rock once, effect increased tenfold. Congratulations to the Host for gaining +1 EXP.】

【Ding, the 【Tenfold Trait】 has taken effect. Host lifted the giant rock once, effect increased tenfold. Congratulations to the Host, the trait has upgraded to 【Strength of Nine Oxen - Purple】.】

The moment the system sound rang out, Duan Yu felt the five-hundred-jin giant rock in his hands suddenly become light.

Upgraded!

The Strength Trait had upgraded.

【Name: Duan Yu】

【Age: 25】

【Height: 188CM】

【Weight: 90KG】

【Traits: 【Tenfold Speed - Gold】, 【Arrows Like Linked Pearls - Purple 0/】, 【Strength of Nine Oxen - Purple 0/】, 【Fatal Blade - Blue 5000/】】

Clang!

Duan Yu tossed the five-hundred-jin giant rock to the side.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Based on past experience, lifting a five-hundred-jin rock at this point would no longer yield experience.

"This time, I should probably switch to a thousand-jin one."

Duan Yu clicked his tongue in secret.

A thousand-jin giant rock, lifted one hundred thousand times.

A thousand jin—what kind of concept was that?

Half a ton!

It was a pity there was no thousand-jin rock in the house.

Otherwise, he would really like to test what the limit of the Strength of Nine Oxen actually was.

However, with the increase in strength, Duan Yu also discovered a problem.

That was...

He turned his head to look at the various weapons on the weapon rack.

Sabers, spears, swords, halberds, axes, yue, hooks, and forks were basically all there.

But he had already tried them before, and no matter which one he held, they all felt too light.

It was as if...

It was like holding a bean sprout—that kind of feeling.

He had still found it somewhat strenuous to train by lifting the five-hundred-jin rock before.

But the five-hundred-jin rock was no longer strenuous now.

In other words, he probably wouldn't feel much weight even if he swung a two-hundred-jin weapon.

But he remembered that Lu Bu's Painted Halberd only weighed a hundred jin or so, right?

Where could he find a suitable weapon?

This was a problem.

Breakfast finished.

Duan Yu stood in the courtyard.

Diao Chan stood behind Duan Yu, gently tying his armor.

The Ink Jade Qilin Beast, along with Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu leading two ten-man squads, were already prepared.

Liu He had already said when he left yesterday that they had to report to Jinyang City early today.

While Diao Chan was tying his armor, Duan Yu was also instructing Gao Shun.

"I don't know how many days I'll be gone."

"Everything at home should be handled according to your sister's arrangements."

"Leaving you at home is to ensure the safety of the household."

"Try to go out as little as possible these few days; everyone should eat and live at home."

"I will have people send grain and such from Jinyang."

"Be extra vigilant at night and during the day."

Duan Yu looked at Gao Shun.

Gao Shun nodded vigorously.

Seeing Gao Shun nod, Duan Yu felt at ease.

Duan Yu firmly believed that effort brings rewards.

Distributing meat to the villagers, winning them over, and then gathering so many youths after becoming a Patrol Officer—it was finally coming in handy.

He had a bad premonition about this trip to the county for official business.
