It wasn't that he was trying to play the hero and "rescue the damsel." It was simply that if he didn't wait for the critical moment, he wouldn't be able to "check in" for the iconic scene and claim the system rewards.
Lin Feng commanded a Shadow Ninja to keep a silent watch on the Purple Man's every move, then put the matter out of his mind. Listening to the sound of the shower coming from the bathroom, he turned and headed back to his own room.
"System, claim rewards!"
With a thought, he chose to receive the final item from his recent haul.
[Ding...]
The system notification chimed softly. Simultaneously, a vast stream of information flooded into Lin Feng's mind. It contained the training methods and insights Saitama used for his daily routine.
Saitama's training seemed utterly mundane on the surface. For example: 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10-kilometer run! These were exercises Lin Feng could easily perform right now. However, the key lay in the fact that this was a Saitama-style Special Training Guidance Manual, and it possessed a unique, mystical property. As long as Lin Feng followed the regimen, his strength would steadily increase. Furthermore, the effects would fully manifest in 100 days—making him "Invincible on Earth"!
This was the terrifying power of a "Conceptual Divinity."
In Saitama's own words: "Accumulate small efforts every day; eventually, the quantitative change will lead to a qualitative transformation!" "Invincible on Earth in a hundred days? Well, since you're the One-Punch Man, I guess I'll take your word for it," Lin Feng muttered, half-amused and half-convinced.
This was certified by the system, after all. Since it was given as a reward, as long as he followed the training, the claim of being "Invincible on Earth" was likely no exaggeration. However, Lin Feng estimated that "Invincible on Earth" probably meant reaching a level comparable to Thor. Otherwise, the reward would be too game-breaking even for this system.
"If every reward is this generous, who would even bother cultivating traditionally?" Lin Feng shook his head, refusing to let the rewards go to his head. Relying solely on the system wasn't enough; he still needed to refine his own power.
Still, this incident proved he could actively orchestrate iconic scenes in the future. Doing so would yield even richer rewards. Lin Feng made a mental note to experiment with this whenever the opportunity arose.
He stood up and walked out of his room just as Jessica finished her shower. She stepped out of the bathroom wrapped in a loosely tied towel, her skin still damp.
Their eyes met, and the atmosphere instantly turned awkward.
"Er..." Glancing at Jessica's fair, delicate features, Lin Feng coughed lightly. "Um, I'm going out to... do some exercise."
With that, he bolted out the door. As it clicked shut, Jessica ducked into her room with a bright red face, her heart hammering against her ribs. Yet, for some reason, a small smile played on her lips.
*** After leaving the apartment, Lin Feng's silhouette vanished into the darkness. He traveled alone into the Shadow World.
Buzz, buzz, buzz! The surrounding darkness surged, and shadows twisted, manifesting into several Shadow Ninjas. But today, a brand-new legion stood among them. The Shadow Eater Ninjas were growing remarkably fast. In just a few days, some had already expanded to the size of a grown man, their strength seeing a massive jump.
A Shadow Ninja stepped forward, presenting a spider in its cupped hands. It was the same spider captured at the Oscorp Expo.
"Devour it," Lin Feng commanded.
The Shadow Ninja obeyed, consuming the spider instantly. He waited, but after a long while, nothing happened.
"I guess it has to be energy with a 'Dark' attribute?" Lin Feng shook his head, realizing the experiment was a failure. He had hoped to trigger another evolution for the Shadow Corps, but evidently, the medium that turned Peter Parker into Spider-Man didn't share the same essence as the Beast of the Hand.
He wasn't disappointed, though. To his knowledge, while Dark attributes were often associated with evil, they weren't exactly hard to find on Earth. There were the zealots of Dormammu, the minions of Mephisto, or even the Symbiotes from outer space. As long as he looked for them, the Shadow Corps would have plenty of opportunities to evolve.
After dismissing the ninjas, Lin Feng returned home.
Time flew. In the blink of an eye, several days had passed. During this time, Lin Feng stuck strictly to the Saitama training regimen, honing his body.
To his surprise, despite how ridiculous the training sounded, it actually worked. Not only did it increase his raw physical power, but it also had a miraculous effect on his Light and Shadow bloodline. His affinity for the Five Elements (specifically Water) was now much stronger than before. If his combat power had been at 8,000 previously, it was now at 10,000 and climbing steadily.
"Phew!"
Finishing another session, Lin Feng exhaled a breath of turbid air. He headed back inside to shower.
Lately, he had been keeping a close eye on the two "Failure-Men." Both Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy were exhibiting unusual symptoms. For instance, Peter woke up every morning with his hands covered in a strange, sticky white substance. At first, he bashfully assumed it was just a byproduct of puberty, but he soon realized something was wrong. He found he could cling to walls, and he could even shoot webbing from his wrists.
He was becoming just like a spider. Peter was shocked and terrified, unsure of what was happening to him—until one afternoon after school when he was cornered by a group of thugs. Using his "Spider-Sense," he took them all down with ease. In that victory, he found the purpose for his newfound powers.
It wouldn't be long before the "Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man" made his official debut.
