Dawn of a New Era-Chapter 441 - 415: The Limits of the Human Body

"In the future... it seems I won’t need to wash clothes anymore, maybe I can skip baths too!" Chen Shouyi thought blankly.

"Silly Giant, little one already took it off!" Shell Lady coaxed impatiently as Chen Shouyi stood motionless.

Aren’t you going to bathe the little one?

Chen Shouyi snapped back to reality and promptly said, "It’ll be ready soon!"

He turned his thoughts away from these trivialities, knowing they wouldn’t be useful in a real deadly battle.

He put the dress on the bed, took a basin and poured some hot water, went to the bathroom to adjust the temperature with cold water, then grabbed Shell Lady and tossed her into the basin.

After bathing Shell Lady and feeding her honey.

Chen Shouyi urged, "Alright, time to sleep!"

"Little one just woke up, not tired at all!" Shell Lady replied without turning her head, playing with her treasure trove.

She had been cramped in the briefcase for so long, sleeping and waking repeatedly, she had slept her fill and didn’t want to sleep now.

Chen Shouyi found himself with a bit of a headache.

If she doesn’t sleep, it’s difficult to train!

Even if she sleeps, it’s not safe; with her keen sense of smell, she’d surely find out.

"I wonder if the Demigod flesh affects Shell Lady?" he thought inwardly.

However, it’s quite easy to verify.

He leaned against the headboard, immediately closed his eyes, and entered the Virtual Memory World.

A few minutes later, he opened his eyes, turned to look at Shell Lady, and revealed a surprised expression.

Unexpectedly, this silly and timid little one is entirely unaffected by the Demigod flesh.

The will impact within the Demigod flesh, though not as strong as a True God, is certainly beyond what ordinary people can withstand.

Her genes wouldn’t collapse, he believed, since she seemed to have originated from Divine Blood.

Yet her will is so strong, completely unaffected by the mental imprint of a Demigod!

How is this possible!

It’s simply absurd.

If Shell Lady’s will were to be represented in numerical terms, Chen Shouyi estimated it wouldn’t even reach ten points.

He was puzzled:

"Could she be naturally immune to mental impact!"

He chose not to dwell on it further; since that’s the case, he didn’t need to hide it anymore.

Soon he went to the basement and cut off a large chunk of meat.

As he opened the bedroom door, Shell Lady stared at the item in Chen Shouyi’s hand, dumbfounded, her eyes darting around.

She tossed her little mirror aside and immediately jumped off the bed. "Good Giant, what is this thing?"

"Meat!" Chen Shouyi replied succinctly. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

He closed the door, and wherever he went, Shell Lady followed closely.

Chen Shouyi placed the Demigod flesh directly on the desk, and Shell Lady leaped onto the table, her pea-sized eyes fixed unwaveringly on the mountain of meat before her.

"Do you want to eat it?" Chen Shouyi asked Shell Lady.

Shell Lady immediately nodded like a woodpecker, her face flushed with excitement.

"Then go ahead, eat as you please," Chen Shouyi said humorously.

Upon hearing this, Shell Lady pounced excitedly, fiercely biting a strand of meat. Normally she only drank honey or nectar, and dismissed meat without even touching it.

But at this moment, she seemed to see a delicious delicacy, biting down and never letting go.

Her mouth made sounds like a wild dog fighting for food.

She wore a fierce expression.

Unfortunately, no matter how desperately she bit, the meat couldn’t be chewed off, and finally, she had to give up this futile action, loosen her grip, extend her pink tongue, and began licking the blood stains on it like a puppy.

Licking until her face was flushed!

Looking blissful!

Chen Shouyi was amused watching her.

"Stop licking, you’re getting saliva everywhere! This is for you," Chen Shouyi complained, since he would eat it later.

As he said this, he placed a small dish of soy sauce on the table, the shallow layer was gold-red blood.

Though it was just a bird’s leg in the basement, when squeezed, there was still quite a bit of blood.

......

The sky began to lighten, a new day had arrived.

Chen Shouyi consumed his last portion of Demigod flesh, continuing to practice and sweat profusely.

Shell Lady lay on the desk, fast asleep.

Last night, she found a small dish of Divine Blood not enough, and whenever Chen Shouyi wasn’t watching, she continued to secretly lick the meat, finally falling asleep from exhaustion by morning.

After an hour of practice, the inner heat and excitement quickly dissipated.

He stopped.

"The duration is getting shorter and shorter!" he thought to himself, opening the attribute panel:

Strength: 17.9

Agility: 17.9

Physique: 17.9

Intelligence: 17.1

Perception: 15.5

Willpower: 16.8

Energy Accumulation: 9.57

Faith Value: 2.45

He glanced over them: "Finally, the strength has increased by 0.1 points!"

After a night of practice, having consumed nearly thirty pounds of Demigod meat, the progress was quite remarkable.

Compared to yesterday, his strength and physique increased by 0.3 points, while agility increased by 0.1 points.

The majority of the gains were at the beginning, with diminishing effects over time.

Chen Shouyi took an additional fraction of a second to look at the three 17.9 numbers before closing the attribute panel.

He went to the bathroom for a cold shower, took a towel, and dried his body while facing the mirror.

In the mirror, Chen Shouyi’s muscles were dense and fine, without a single ounce of extra flesh. As he moved, his muscles seemed like an incredibly complex machine, moving fluidly and rhythmically, filled with terrifying explosive power.

Faint echoes of a Fierce Beast’s violent aura emanated from him.

"Strength at 17.9, when converted, it’s nearly 2.5 tons. During a Giant Transformation, the attribute could reach approximately 21.6, with strength at 11.5 tons. A single punch could flatten a tank!" Chen Shouyi thought internally.

Sadly, even with this much power, he hadn’t reached legendary status.

He placed the towel nicely, brushed his teeth, and carefully picked up Shell Lady from the desk, moved her to the bed, and then left the room.

The corpses on the road had long been cleared by soldiers and self-organized civilians, even the snow was shoveled to the roadside.

Over the past two days, the Safe Zone remained quite peaceful, except for fighter jets occasionally passing overhead and the faint sounds of gunfire, as if the war had already completely passed.

Chen Shouyi visited the air raid shelter to see his parents, sister, and aunt’s family who were still staying inside.

Returning home, he continued training.

By noon.

His strength, agility, and physique all reached 18 points.

Afterward, no further progress could be made.

His body seemed to have reached the human limit, even consuming Demigod flesh three times, made no difference.

He temporarily put aside his practice, picked up a cup, and drank the saltwater in one gulp.

At this time, he finally noticed the cheering sounds outside, like a landslide tsunami, coming from far away.

He opened the curtains, and the cheering sound became louder.

Many pedestrians were running towards the front, looking excited.

"Could it be the army has arrived!" Chen Shouyi thought.

He quickly took a shower, changed clothes, and walked out the door.

The streets grew increasingly crowded, as numerous civilians emerged from residential buildings or air raid shelters and merged into the masses.

Chen Shouyi joined the crowd and walked onto the road outside.

He found the road was already lined with people.

Countless people discussed, looking excited, the air buzzed with a hum.

"Here they come!" Someone exclaimed.

Quickly, a parade of armored vehicles and tanks slowly arrived.

The army finally entered the city!
