As he walked towards the lake, Elijah couldn't help but feel on edge. The goblins were undergoing evolution, and he didn't want to be caught off guard by any of their new abilities. Finally reaching the calm waters, he took a deep breath and calmed his racing heart before taking a long drink.
Looking at his reflection, he barely recognized the face staring back at him. His physique had transformed, becoming lean and toned. His height was now around 5'8", and his deep-set, expressive eyes were framed by thick eyebrows, adding to his rugged appeal. His messy, textured hair gave him a casual, carefree look that belied the seriousness of his situation.
Appreciating the nature around him, he could hear the distant roars of creatures and the chirping of birds. He noticed smoke in the far distance but didn't want to take any unnecessary risks. He asked the system how he could become stronger quickly, and it told him about the Maharlika training book that he seems to have forgotten and Potion z.
Without hesitation, Elijah raced back to the hall and found the potion where he slept. It tasted like chocolate, and he felt nothing except a warm sensation in his stomach. Following the system's instructions, he began practicing on the open ground, performing a series of actions that he could only describe as a combination of Shaolin and Muay Thai.
Although his body had been reconstructed, he wasn't able to execute the actions correctly. Fortunately, the system was there to guide him, helping him to perform the sequences properly. After an hour of repeating the first sequence while jabbing his fist in a horse stance, Elijah began to feel a heat rising from his stomach.
Ignoring the sensation, he continued to repeat the stance until the goblins woke up, estimating that he had been working out for seven hours without feeling tired. The system explained that the potion acted as a nutrient solution, providing the necessary nutrients for muscle growth and alleviating fatigue.
Elijah was amazed by the results, but he knew he had to keep practicing to become even stronger. "System, what's next?" he asked, eager to continue his journey towards becoming a powerful warrior.
"Next, we train even harder," the system replied.
