Chapter 13: Absolute Focus is the Biggest Cheat

Chapter 13: Absolute Focus is the Biggest Cheat

"Activate, [Absolute Focus]."

When Lu Yuan activated [Absolute Focus] this time, he immediately felt a difference from before. His grasp and application of the textbook knowledge points reached an unprecedented level of thoroughness. When a problem was presented before him, relevant formulas, theorems, and principles... all popped up in his mind one after another, quickly forming different solutions.

This was even more apparent in language subjects. Large paragraphs of foreign language text, after being scanned by Lu Yuan's eyes, instantly translated into his most familiar native language, sentence by sentence, in his mind.

If there were outsiders present, they would definitely be shocked by Lu Yuan's speed in answering questions. Because it seemed like he didn't need to think at all. As soon as he finished reading a question, the answer would naturally appear on the paper.

"Ding—"

Like the sound of a microwave oven finishing its heating cycle.

Lu Yuan came out of the [Absolute Focus] state. A slight feeling of fatigue washed over him, but it was better than any previous time.

"The alarm didn't go off. Not even an hour has passed?"

Lu Yuan checked his phone with a slightly surprised expression. The effect of lv2 [Absolute Focus] was even better than he expected. The homework that was originally estimated to take an hour and a half, he finished in only forty-five minutes, the time of one class period. Efficiency increased by a whole two times!

And...

"Shua shua—"

Lu Yuan quickly flipped through the homework and test papers he had completed. Although there were no standard answers to compare with, he still had a very strong intuition. "The accuracy of this homework has definitely improved!"

Lv2 [Absolute Focus] allowed him to enter a deeper state of focus than before. In this state, his 10 points of intelligence attribute, which was higher than ordinary people, seemed to be fully developed.

"Even if others have the same 10 points of intelligence, their thinking speed and other aspects are definitely not as good as mine."

Lu Yuan had this confidence. He looked back at the panel. The accumulated information prompt gave him another small surprise.

"The professional experience gained every ten minutes has become two points! The basic skill experience gained each time has also almost doubled?!"

The experience gained in forty-five minutes was no less than what he had gained in two hours before.

"Efficiency doubled, and experience gain doubled!"

This was undoubtedly great news for Lu Yuan. It meant that his upgrade speed had also doubled!

"I have to see if it can have the same effect when applied to the [Fighter] profession."

Lu Yuan couldn't wait for his stamina to recover. He directly carried his training mat to the living room.

[You focused on professional training for ten minutes, professional experience +2]

[Your skill Beginner Body Tempering has been improved, experience +4]

[Your skill Beginner Body Tempering has been improved, experience +6]

After completing two sets of strength training, the feedback made Lu Yuan satisfied. The experience gained under the [Fighter] panel also doubled.

"Absolute focus applies to any professional field. Indeed, concentration is the biggest cheat!"

After two sets of strength training, Lu Yuan began to practice the basic leg techniques he had just learned this morning. The feeling was even more obvious this time. During practice, his mind was like a movie, constantly replaying the demonstrations Lin Zhiqin made during class in the morning. It was very clear, and he could recall every detail clearly.

And in the state of lv2 [Absolute Focus], Lu Yuan's control over the muscles of his body seemed to have improved as well. Before, when he practiced on his own, he would more or less feel like "it looks easy, but it's hard to learn". Now it was much better.

He could learn seventy to eighty percent by recalling and observing, and after getting started, he could achieve forty to fifty percent of the effect. This was already quite remarkable.

After all, Lu Yuan wasn't some kind of gifted martial arts prodigy with extraordinary talent and comprehension. All he could do was try his best and be focused.

Lu Yuan spent the rest of the time fully immersed in training. Usually, when he went to school, he only had a few hours in the evening to devote to martial arts training. With the rare two days of free time on the weekend, he naturally had to race against time.

Lu Yuan made a schedule for training and rest. Based on his physical condition, he controlled the duration of each training session to be as appropriate as possible. The situation where he trained until his whole body ached and he could barely walk could not happen again. Excessive training would actually slow down his progress.

The afternoon passed quickly in focused training. Lu Xinghua came back during dinner, and his overall condition seemed to have worsened. Although Lu Yuan was worried, he didn't say anything. A few days ago, the hospital said that Grandpa's surgery had to be postponed for another two days. During this time, Lu Yuan heard his father, Lu Xinghua, calling people to borrow money in a pleading tone more than once.

Even though he had lived two lives, Lu Yuan still felt uncomfortable. He didn't know if the thousand yuan he hid in the closet of his parents' room had been discovered. But even if it was discovered, that little money wouldn't solve any problems.

"School, martial arts school. Making a breakthrough in either field can alleviate the pressure our family is facing right now. I need to work even harder."

Only by studying and training desperately could Lu Yuan barely dilute the deep sense of powerlessness in his heart. He spent the evening training.

During this time, his sister Lu Jing made a video call. It was past eight o'clock in the evening in Jiaoyan City, and the sky was still bright in Xixu. Lu Jing was eating dry bing while telling Lu Yuan that their archaeological team was about to reach the main entrance of the temple ruins. It was estimated that they would be able to enter and explore in two days.

Unfortunately, she was too junior to be selected for the first batch of people to enter. Lu Yuan listened to her complaints and was about to comfort her. But then "dong" the video call suddenly hung up due to poor network signal. He couldn't get through when he called back. He could only give up.

By eleven o'clock at night, close to bedtime, Lu Yuan's [Fighter] profession panel data had become:

[Fighter lv2 (81/200)]

[Basic professional skills: Beginner Body Tempering lv3 (2/400), Basic Boxing Technique lv2 (153/200), Basic Leg Technique lv2 (89/200)]

Professional experience increased by more than seventy points, Beginner Body Tempering increased by more than sixty points, and reached lv3. Basic Boxing Technique increased by nearly a hundred points. The Basic Leg Technique, which he mainly practiced, increased the most, reaching nearly two hundred points, directly breaking through lv2, and reaching almost half of the progress of lv2.

"After Beginner Body Tempering reached lv3, the difficulty of gaining experience points has obviously increased. Sometimes after a set of training, I can only gain one or two experience points. Is it because of the increase in my physique?"

Lu Yuan took a shower, wearing only a pair of boxer shorts, and lay on the bed. The curtains were not drawn, so he could see the light from the streetlights outside and hear the occasional sound of cars passing by.

"Looks like I need to increase the intensity of strength training. To increase the intensity, I have to use equipment. I'll go to the martial arts school every day after school next week."

Thinking back now, Lu Yuan felt that his decision to directly add attribute points to physique was still hasty. The way to maximize returns should be to add points after the rate of strength and physique increase brought by the Beginner Body Tempering skill slows down.

After Beginner Body Tempering reached lv3, he clearly felt that the muscles in his thighs, calves, arms, chest, abdomen, and other parts became firmer, and his skin seemed to become more elastic.

His whole body was like an iron ingot, which became denser and firmer after being continuously hammered by external forces, expelling some impurities.

He opened the reading software on his phone and casually found a novel to read.

Eleven twenty-five.

The light from Lu Yuan's phone on the bed went out, and he had already fallen asleep.
