Chapter 7: Decreases effectiveness
After six long, gruelling hours of training, Elliot was surprised to gain three stat points—one in strength and two in endurance.
This also confirmed his previous suspicions: his previous training method had been inefficient. Moreover, now that he had discovered the correct way to condense the energy of attributes into stats points, he could do it much faster than he had imagined it was possible for him to.
This satisfied him more than enough and also lifted his spirits. Thanks to that and following what he had read on the internet while he was doing his research for gym training methodology, he headed to a nearby park for calisthenics.
According to his research, parks were the best free training spots for beginners with strength and agility below 10 points.
And his research proved correct.
In fact, since he had never done calisthenics before and his arms were already strong enough to do all the exercises without problems, he only needed to focus on repeating the agility training. After several hours of repetition, the results were astonishing—he had gained three agility points in just six hours!
For a workout that wasn't too intensive, the improvement was amazing.
Seeing his stat points increase so dramatically wiped away any trace of tiredness he might have felt. Or maybe it was the effect of his enhanced strength—he wasn't sure, but he didn't care. There was no reason to stop if he wasn't tired or feeling sleepy.
The sooner he reached 10 points in a stat, the better.
So, he pushed forward, heading straight to the martial arts center, where he resumed his mixed martial arts training.
He seemed to have lost his mind, but his straight 12 hours of mixed martial arts training were amply fruitful, even if he couldn't score the desired points in those last 12.
