Marvel: Infinite Potential

Noah stood in the gym, drenched in sweat as he counted, "427...428...429…" His legs shook, but he was determined to break through his limit. With each squat, his muscles screamed, demanding he stop, yet he kept going, fueled by sheer will—and two strands of inner energy he'd managed to circulate through his body.

As the fatigue pushed to overwhelm him, he controlled the strands of energy to flow to the specific pressure points in his legs, relieving the pain and allowing him to push forward.

"It actually works!" Noah grinned, realizing he could rely on his inner energy to recover, just like the notes from his Gentleman Sword technique had promised. His excitement built as he counted his limit-breaker squats, each one a new testament to his newfound strength.

Smith, his gym coach, raised a brow from across the room. "What on earth is he on? If he keeps going like this, he'll be in the Guinness Book!" Smith had witnessed Noah push hard in the past, but today was on a different level. Noah had somehow transformed into an unstoppable machine.

With a final burst of energy, Noah pushed out the last squat, his legs finally giving in as he collapsed onto the mat. He pulled up his status screen, which displayed the results of his insane training session:

You completed a total of 663 bodyweight squats...

Repeat 62 times to increase the upper limit of strength by 0.1.

Repeat 32 times to increase the upper limit of physical fitness by 0.1.

Repeat 92 times to increase the upper limit of spirit by 0.1.

"This is amazing!" Noah pumped his fists. "I can increase my attributes way faster by working at my physical limit." He had discovered a cheat: training at the edge of exhaustion allowed him to stack up his attributes quicker, and his internal energy made it all possible.

After taking a brief rest to recover his energy, Noah looked over at Smith. "Coach, my legs are pretty much jelly. Think you could help me up?"

Smith gave him a skeptical look, "So, what's next on your superhuman agenda?"

Noah pointed to the bench press. "Let's go big. Bench press is up next."

With Smith's help, Noah went on to max out his upper body, cycling through weights and pushing his limits, each time replenishing his muscles with the flow of inner energy. Each session took him right to the brink, only for him to recover and keep going. His new recovery hack turned him into a training machine—one who Smith now regarded with complete awe.

After hours of training and running on internal energy, Noah's panel reflected some wild gains:

Description Column after 18 hours: You completed a total of 1,392 bodyweight squats, and the upper limit of the physical attribute increased to 1.3!

Description Column after 24 hours: You completed a total of 831 push-ups with a weight of 30 kg, and the upper limit of the strength attribute increased to 1.4!

Finally, with his body feeling like steel, Noah focused his energy for a single test of strength—a punch on the gym's power-measuring machine. He let out a deep breath, coiling every ounce of strength into his fist, and struck with all his might.

BAM! The loud crash echoed in the gym, and the digital screen jumped as it calculated the force:

200 → 300 → 400 → 500 → 600

Finally, the number stopped at 672 pounds.

Smith's jaw dropped. "Are you serious?! 672 pounds? That's practically world-record level!" He gaped at Noah, now convinced this young man was a mutant of some kind.

Noah simply grinned, glancing at his panel, which showed the results of his hard work.

Name: Noah

Lifespan: 18/120

Strength: 1.4+

Constitution: 1.3+

Spirit: 1.4+

Charm: 1.4+

Attribute points to be used: 0.5

With a mental note of his recent breakthroughs, Noah finally understood the panel's hidden complexities: Strength didn't just mean raw muscle power—it involved his entire range of movement and physical explosiveness. Constitution didn't only mean durability but also how fast he could heal and build strength. And Spirit? It wasn't only a measure of mental power but improved reaction times, control, and memory too.

"So every small upgrade to my stats affects the whole body…" Noah mused, fascinated by his new, almost superhuman efficiency. He could now run faster, lift heavier, and keep pushing without the usual burn-out. His whole body was working as a single unit, becoming stronger together rather than in isolated muscle groups.

Just as Noah was wrapping up, Smith spoke with a forced chuckle, "Kid, if you keep training like this, they'll cart you off to a mutant lab one of these days. You better lay low or take a break from breaking records!"

Noah grinned. "No worries, Coach. Just doing what I do best. Anyway, I've got school tomorrow, so we'll pause the superhero training until after hours." He waved as he left, feeling unstoppable, like his entire body was humming with energy.

As Noah strolled out of the gym, his mind buzzed with the endless possibilities his powers held. Regular training wasn't enough anymore; he had to aim for something greater, something only someone with inner energy and a panel full of stats could accomplish.
