BXBX NOVEL Chapter 55: Daily Quest
So, due to the room restriction, running was a little bothersome, but other than that, nothing fazed him much.
Aur started his squats first, which he did without breaking a sweat, and then did push-ups soon after.
By the time he was done with push-ups, he started to break out in a slight sweat. However, Aur didn\'t stop; he ran soon after and then planked.
Aur took a deep, relaxing breath. "Should I do more?" he thought, with a strange excitement coursing through his body.
Aur took a deep relaxing breath. "Should I do more?" he thought with energy coursing through his body.
"More exercise won\'t hurt anybody, will it?" Aur muttered as his expression turned crazy, delving into physical training, gradually falling into a hyper-focused state.
The day turned into night as Aur fully focused on the exercise, as if he were addicted, and physical training was his solution.
His body was already soaked with cold sweat; in fact, the entire floor was wet from his sheer perspiration.
Aur finally stopped his push-ups and stood up; his body seemed to have become leaner as well.
"Maybe I trained my body a little too much today," Aur thought with a bitter smile as he looked at his sweat-filled body.
"Muscle system," he muttered.

"My training has barely increased my muscle mass..." Aur thought with a frown on his face as he slowly opened his black robes, revealing his shredded body glistening with his own sweat.
He walked to his bathroom and started to take a cold shower.
After an hour of showering, Aur finally stood up and reluctantly returned to see his black robes already as good as before.
"This robe is quite useful," Aur muttered to himself with a tender gaze. "I will return to my family after I establish myself as at least an elder."
Suddenly, Aur\'s stomach rumbled loudly as he touched it.
Aur directly went out of the room and called his maid, Lucy.
"Bring me some food."
"Yes, young master," Lucy said with a bow.
"Actually, don\'t bring me all the food you can find." Aur casually went to his pouch as if he were taking a mana crystal. Five low-grade mana crystals materialized from thin air in his hand.
He casually took them out of the pouch and threw them at her.
"Bring me meat instead."
"But, young master..."
"Just bring me lots of normal meat," Aur said with a calm expression.
Lucy nodded her head pitifully and hurriedly walked away.
Soon, Lucy was bringing tons of meat to his table. The meat of other normal beasts was very expensive since it could be mass-produced, but the meat of any Tier 1 beast could be terrifyingly expensive, enough to make even a rich person bleed to buy it.
Aur gobbled down the meat as much as he could, finishing the one ton in half an hour.
He patted his bloated stomach with a burp, wearing a satisfied expression on his face.
"This should be enough," he thought as he looked at Lucy, who had stunned eyes as if she were denying reality.
"Lucy."
"Ye… yes, young master." Lucy said with a bow.
"Take care of this…" Aur slowly went up to her and said in a whisper, his hot breath stinging her skin.
Lucy just nodded her head meekly.
"Good." He patted her head and tenderly looked at her before leaving.
After Aur entered the room, a sneer appeared on Lucy\'s face. "As expected of a greenhorn, he has already fallen for me," she mused.
Lucy walked up to the utensils and started to take care of them one by one, a frown on her face.
She didn\'t like cleaning at all, however, for her to make Aur loyal to the village and monitor his activities, she needed to do this. That was her lifelong mission.
All the servants assigned to the middle-grade talents were assigned to serve them with the mission of making them loyal to the village. That was the sole purpose of their lifelong mission; they have been assigned to and trained since young for these.
After all, the middle-grade talents had a chance to reach the same rank as the elders, tier two wizards.
As Lucy cleaned everything, she went to her room and wrote something in a scroll, which instantly disappeared from her hand after she folded it.
"I am done with my report," Lucy thought as she stretched her body and started to do makeup.
…
"I shouldn\'t be suspected as the killer of Lucas for now. Seeing that old man, the eighth elder\'s attitude, I am sure he has already suspected Williams as the killer…" He sneered when he thought of this.
After all, if he was to be suspected, then Aur would already be dead. Although the academy has rules that prevent anyone\'s death, even if the village leaders command it, there were many ways to kill him without even breaking the rules. Even if the eighth elder broke the rule, so what?
Would the village really fight with the eighth elder for him, a barely middle-grade talent who has just awakened his mental space and has a thin chance of being a tier two mage, against a real tier two peak rank mage? The answer was obvious.
The rules were only binding to a certain extent. Once one has a certain amount of power, it becomes nothing more than child\'s play to bend it according to one\'s will without even breaking the rule in the first place.
It was true in his previous life, and in this world, this was even more true.
Aur thought as he sat on his bed and took out the book that the teacher gave him.
With a contemplative expression, he opened the book and started to flip the pages.
The book was mostly about the meridian points on the body and the structure of the human body\'s muscles.
With different descriptions and some theoretical knowledge about the five elements: Water, Fire, Earth, Air, and Spirit. These were the five elements that were all combined to form the five elemental spells. Lastly, there was a breathing format.
According to this book, the human body contains these five elements. In order for Aur to reach these parts, he needed to become one with each element individually, gradually resonating with it to truly understand the workings of these elements. Only then would he be able to imprint a five-elemental spell in his mental space.
"Let\'s try it," Aur\'s eyes glinted as he sat in a meditative state, slowly taking deep, controlled breaths.
