144: Chapter 144 Physical Limit Breakthrough! Incredible Effects!

Sha Ruijin knew that his original intention to "solidify" the apprenticeship letter and use it as an opportunity to reorganize and elevate his eldest uncle's historical standing carried inherent risks.

If you want to make it real, naturally someone will want to prove it fake.

The resistance was even greater than he had anticipated.

The key lay in whether the chain of evidence was solid enough to withstand repeated scrutiny and attacks from those with ulterior motives.

Relying on a single piece of isolated evidence did indeed seem a bit flimsy.

After a moment of contemplation, Sha Ruijin looked up and called out toward the door, "Xiao Bai."

The door was pushed open gently, and Secretary Bai walked in silently, bowing slightly. "Secretary Sha, you called for me."

Sha Ruijin nodded and said slowly, "Contact Xiao Shen. Ask if his Great-Grandfather, Old Mr. Shen, left behind... any other relics."

"Especially items that might be related to early revolutionary activities—even a scrap of paper or old objects with special significance will do."

He paused and added, "Be polite. Explain that this is for a more comprehensive and objective study of relevant history. If anything is found, we can send specialists to assist with appraisal and preservation."

"Understood, Secretary. I'll get on it," Secretary Bai nodded in agreement and withdrew.

Sha Ruijin turned his gaze back to the street scene of Handong outside the window, his eyes deep with thought.

He hoped the Shen family could bring some more surprises.

...

“Phew!”

“I'm back!”

Shen Wang stretched his body; the sensation of space-time travel was truly marvelous.

The first thing he did upon returning was to take the calligraphy personally written by the Chief of Staff, the Division Commander, and other Leaders, as well as those two regimental banners, out of the system space.

However, the moment these items left the system space and were fully exposed to the air of this time and space, a strange change occurred!

It was as if an invisible hand had compressed decades of time into a single breath and applied it to these objects.

The rice paper, which had been relatively sturdy, darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and more natural, aged frayed edges and slight curls appeared on the margins.

The varying shades of the ink seemed to have settled over a much longer period, emitting a more ancient and primitive aura.

As for the two regimental banners, they now looked as if they had undergone decades of natural aging, with the fragility of the fabric fibers becoming more apparent.

Yet, that sense of historical weight and vicissitude grew even more intense.

“System Daddy delivers again...”

Shen Wang muttered to himself, a flash of shock in his eyes.

He then carefully rolled up and wrapped these priceless pieces of calligraphy and trophies again.

The safest course of action, of course, was to put them back into the system space.

Having done this, Shen Wang took a deep breath and turned his attention to himself.

He summoned the system panel, his gaze landing on the five shimmering free attribute points.

He had temporarily set them aside because he wasn't sure of the consequences, but now that he was back in the relatively safe modern era, it was time to see exactly what a constitution exceeding human limits would bring.

“Add points! Put them all into Constitution!”

Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Wang thought to himself.

[Ding! Constitution +5! Current Constitution: 15!]

Hum—!

The moment the system prompt appeared, an indescribable sensation erupted from the deepest parts of his body, from every single cell nucleus!

It was as if a dormant volcano had been ignited, or a dried-up riverbed had met a catastrophic flood!

There was no sharp pain, but rather a strange, interwoven feeling of extreme "shedding" and "rebirth."

Shen Wang felt the bones throughout his body itch slightly, emitting extremely faint, almost inaudible "crackling" sounds, as if they were quietly adjusting their structure to become denser and tougher.

Muscle fibers were being stretched and reorganized by invisible hands, becoming more slender yet packed with explosive power.

His blood flow seemed to accelerate slightly, his heartbeat became steady and powerful, and the blood pumped out carried stronger oxygenation capacity as it surged to his limbs and bones.

The most obvious change was on the surface of his skin.

A large amount of grayish-black, slightly fishy-smelling viscous matter was "squeezed" out from his pores, quickly condensing into a thin layer of filth on his skin.

This was the manifestation of metabolic waste, toxins, and unnecessary fatty tissues being forcibly expelled under an ultra-high metabolic rate, similar to the legendary "cleansing of the marrow and marrow."

The entire process lasted for about half an hour.

Shen Wang kept his eyes closed and focused, feeling the earth-shattering changes within his body.

When that strange feeling of transformation gradually subsided, he opened his eyes and immediately rushed into the bathroom.

Warm water cascaded down, washing away the filth covering his body.

When Shen Wang dried himself and stood before the bathroom mirror, he was completely stunned.

Is... is this still him?

Although his facial features hadn't changed, he had become more than a grade more handsome!

It was as if... a beauty filter had been turned up to the maximum!

His skin was fair and delicate, with a healthy rosy glow, possessing a warm, jade-like texture without a single enlarged pore or blemish.

His muscle lines were clear and smooth—chest, abs, biceps, back muscles... every single one bulged just right, not looking bloated but filled with explosive power and aesthetic beauty.

Even... ahem, even his height seemed to have increased by a few centimeters!

Don't underestimate those few centimeters!

Next, Shen Wang clenched his fists, his knuckles making a slight cracking sound.

What he felt was an unprecedented sense of power filling his arms, as if a single punch could easily shatter bricks.

But the primary change was that vigorous vitality radiating from the inside out!

His internal organs felt as if they had been washed clean, his breathing was long and deep, his vision seemed clearer, and his ears could catch faint sounds from further away.

“This constitution... I feel like living to a hundred will be a breeze, and it'll be the healthiest kind of hundred.”

For Shen Wang, who needed to travel between two eras and endure different flow rates of time, this was undoubtedly great news.

Wait, time flow rate?

Shen Wang suddenly remembered something and grabbed his phone from the sink to check the date and time.

He remembered that when he left the modern era for the War of Resistance, it was late at night the day before yesterday.

At that time, he had traveled directly after leaving a family dinner.

He had stayed there for about half a month. Based on the previous flow rate of approximately 10:1, about a day and a half should have passed in the modern era.

But the time displayed on the phone screen... nearly two days had passed!

The discrepancy was a bit large.

“System Bro, what's going on? The time flow rate is wrong,” Shen Wang asked in his mind.

[Ding! System Prompt: The time flow ratio between the two worlds is not a constant 10:1;]

[The ratio is negatively correlated with the progress of major historical milestones and the Host's activity intensity;]

[The closer it gets to 1945 AD, the smaller the flow rate difference!]

[After 1945, the time flow rates of the two worlds will be fully synchronized.]

Shen Wang realized.

So that was it!

It wasn't a fixed ratio, but a dynamic change.

As he stirred up trouble over there and accelerated the course of history, the time flow rates of the two worlds were gradually converging.

This was actually an interesting and reasonable mechanism.

Maintaining a massive 10:1 difference indefinitely would indeed have too much impact on his modern life, leaving many things with no time to be handled.

Now that the flow rates were beginning to approach each other, it was actually more convenient for him to coordinate between both sides.

“This is fine too...”

Shen Wang dried his body and changed into comfortable loungewear. Just as he walked into the living room, his phone rang.
