Chapter 1339

Minhyuk had taken the lead in running toward the peak of the mountain.

[Wow. He’s running so fast. Lololol.]

[But don’t you think a hundred laps is too much?]

[Yeah, yeah. Isn’t that too petty? Lmao.]

[Minhyuk sounds like he’s bragging, too.]

Rance was following behind Minhyuk and had the same thoughts as the viewers.

‘I can probably do a hundred laps with my physical abilities.’

The troops present were Ares’ Elite Troops and the soldiers of God’s Army, and they were on a completely different level from a human army. Their physical abilities alone were superior to those of humans. How? If a human could run fifty meters in ten seconds, they could run the same distance in just five seconds. They also did not get easily tired when running or climbing.

The greatest obstacle for them here was their mental power. People hated to perform repeated actions. No matter how great their physical abilities were or how they did not sweat or run out of breath when climbing the mountain, it would still take them at least a few days to complete a hundred laps, which was at their full speed. This meant that the action would take a significant toll on them mentally.

‘Only a madman can do something so ridiculous like that.’

They believed that Minhyuk would stop by the twentieth lap. Regardless of when Minhyuk stopped, the troops did not want to lose against Minhyuk, mainly because he was the one who brought harm to Ares.

Rance put strength in his legs and sped up.

‘Impudent bastard. How dare someone who only knows how to eat tell us that those who finish after him will have another ten laps?’

Rance thought, vowing that he would make sure that this cheeky bastard would never be able to say something so arrogant like that again.

All soldiers of Ares’ Elite Troops possessed the power of Physical Limitations. It was a power that rapidly increased their stamina, agility, strength, etc., whenever they encountered and surpassed their physical limitations. That was why these people believed that this was an easy task. They were sure they would grow faster and even get closer and closer to Minhyuk.

[Physical Limitations.]

[You have surpassed your limitations. Your top three highest stats will increase by 1%.]

Ares’ troops' mental power was beyond what any ordinary human could expect. This was because they had been subjected to a lot of torture and had suffered through countless ridiculously high-intensity training sessions since they were young.

[Physical Limitations.]

[Physical Limitations.]

[Physical...]

[Physical...]

Rance and the other soldiers behind him began to run in earnest.

‘Now, we should be slowly catching up to him, right...?’

Alas, Rance almost choked when he finally saw the scene before him. Minhyuk was already swiftly descending the mountain.

“Wh-what... We’re not even halfway up the mountain yet?!”

The more shocking part? There was a cliff before the mountain peak. They had to not only climb a mountain but also scale a cliff.

“I have left a triangular stone at the top,” Minhyuk said, stopping briefly before them.

Then, he swiftly continued his descent. The rest of the troops, just about to start their climb, were speechless when they saw Minhyuk leaving already.

And just like Minhyuk said, Rance found a triangular stone after scaling the cliff with his bare hands.

‘I already know that he has amazing physical abilities. Regardless, is something like this really possible...?’

It was beyond what he could comprehend. However, Rance did not back down. He prepared to descend the mountain while thinking,

‘No matter how fast he climbs and goes down the mountain, he will not be able to beat us! After all, his mental power is weaker than ours!’

Just like that, Rance began his descent.

***

[You have eaten a Special Choco Bar.]

[Your body is filled with overwhelming energy. You will not tire easily.]

[Your STR has increased by 7%, your AGI has increased by 5%, and your STM has increased by 5%.]

[The buff will remain in effect for three days.]

As Minhyuk descended the mountain, he grabbed a decent snack from the thousands he had kept in his inventory and began eating. Once he reached the foot of the mountain, he took a moment to breathe before climbing again.

The people of the Gaia Continent did not know one thing: Minhyuk was one of the hardest workers, if not the hardest worker, in the Western Continents. Not only was he a hard worker, but he also had the tenacity, mental power, and various abilities to support him.

[Wow. Look at how fast Minhyuk is...]

[Hey. Even so, it’s challenging to complete a hundred laps... lolol.]

[I know, I know. We all know that Minhyuk is a hard worker. Still, do you think that’s possible?]

Still, Minhyuk continued to run. He continued climbing the peak and descending to the mountain's foot.

As he repeated this process, his lungs expanded and shrank repeatedly, as if asking for more air. The muscles in his calves and thighs were bursting and twitching from overwork, and even the skin of his palms began to peel off from the constant wear and tear from grasping the rocks with his bare hands as he scaled the cliff.

Despite all of this, Minhyuk continued to run.

‘The beginning is the most important part.’

He had to make the most significant impact and impression from the beginning. He had to show them who he was and what kind of person he was so that these soldiers would never dare to go against him.

‘Only by then will they be able to simply and sincerely obey and follow my orders.’

Making the soldiers submit through orders alone lacked the power to make these soldiers believe in Minhyuk and follow him sincerely.

Night finally came.

“Haaa... haaa... haaa....”

The great and mighty Ares’ Elite Troops had been nonstop climbing and descending the mountain all day. Because of this, their breath was the only thing that circulated the mountain.

Then, morning came.

Minhyuk chugged some water down and began climbing the mountain again. He barely looked tired.
