Chapter 39: Noah's Plot and Blood and Qi improvement

Williams stared vacantly at the ceiling with a dead-eyed expression while he was lost in thought.

"Don't worry, Master. He was just a weakling; you will surpass him in no time. It was just that he had an early victory, but you can beat that bad guy up whenever you want," the teeming voice rang in his ears.

This somehow soothed him, as Williams felt a lot better.

"How are you, my disciple?"

Suddenly a hoarse voice of a man sounded in his ears which caused him to look to his right to see a man in casual clothing staring at him with a smile on his face.

"Master, I am sorry I have let you down," William replied in a dead tone.

"Oh, you don't have to worry about that. Take these as stepping stones for you to climb up," Noah said with a smile. "Remember, Williams, life is about learning new things every day and will never stop learning; that is the only way for you to improve yourself."

William just nodded his head while his eyes were still dull.

Seeing this, Noah frowned. "Do you know the difference between a loser and a winner?"

Hearing this, William was confused. "No."

"They give up as soon as they get a setback, while the winner constantly faces setbacks but remains stubborn to achieve his goal no matter the extent."

William's expression morphed into a frown when he heard this.

"So either you can be a loser or a winner; it's your choice."

William looked up only to see thin air; Noah had vanished into thin air.

However, William soon went into a contemplative expression as he closed his eyes in deep thought.

Before he violently opened his eyes, revealing his blue pupils.

"I must train harder."

...

Noah casually appeared inside his room as he sat on his throne as the village chief.

However, the moment he was inside, his hair seemed to turn grey as his body slowly became malnourished.

"I don't have much time left. I finally found the candidate for me to take over his body," he muttered as he sat on his throne.

"No matter who it is, I must leave, for that, my little pawn, Williams, you must grow stronger. Instructing Jonathan was quite good. He has done his job well. Now, grow my pawn until you are a tier two mage," Noah laughed hysterically, "then you will fulfil your purpose for your master."

...

"Brother Aur, remember you have to come with us to the restaurant without fail."

"Yes, yes," Aur said with a helpless expression as he looked at a brown-haired girl.

"Alright, it's a promise then," the brown-haired girl nodded with a satisfied expression on her face.

"Let's increase my blood and qi a little..." Aur thought internally as he allocated thirteen of the stat points to his blood and Qi.

Boom!

His blood flow increased as his heart pumped blood faster and purer, while Aur felt his body filled with power and strength.

He seemed to become younger, and his vitality increased by several times.

Feeling the changes in his body, Aur nodded his head with a satisfied expression on his face.

After upgrading his muscle attribute and his blood and qi, Aur had learned a significant difference and their key features.

While the muscle attribute was related to the literal definition of the three types of his muscles: skeletal muscles, smooth muscles, and cardiac muscles, these were the main components that were strengthened when Aur allocated his attributes.

His bones were also strengthened with it, but not to that large extent.

Blood and Qi, on the other hand, were like the vitality of his body, similar to the fuel for his body.

In short, the muscle was like the car, and the blood and Qi were like the fuel for his body, in layman's terms.

Soon, the class filled up again, with the exception of the front middle row seat where Williams used to sit.
