Chapter 164: Yecheng: My Path to Strength is Cheating!
Before coming here, Genos had already prepared himself.
He also anticipated that to reach the level of strength Yecheng and Saitama possessed, he would have to endure rigorous training that few knew about.
But Genos didn't care about any of this; in fact, as long as he could become stronger, he didn't mind how arduous the training might be.
"Do a hundred push-ups, a hundred sit-ups, and a hundred squats, regardless of the weather, and run ten kilometers every day.
To temper your willpower, you can't use air conditioning, be it winter or summer.
Of course, for a balanced diet, you can have an extra banana each day."
Genos, who was holding a small notebook and pen ready to take notes, froze in place when he heard Saitama's "strength-building secrets."
But soon, he realized that these were probably the warm-up exercises Saitama mentioned before the devilish training.
After all, if the training was too intense, not doing some warm-up exercises could potentially cause irreversible damage to the body.
Thinking about how Saitama was already so powerful yet still adhered to these rules, Genos couldn't help but admire him even more.
After meticulously jotting down the so-called "warm-up exercises" in his notebook, Genos looked at Saitama earnestly, awaiting further instructions...
However, a minute passed, then five minutes, and Saitama, the bald man, maintained his usual blank expression, even picking his nose out of boredom, seemingly with no intention of continuing.
Seeing Saitama's silence, Genos thought that perhaps his attitude wasn't sincere enough, or his learning attitude needed improvement.
So, he quickly bowed again and said, "Saitama-sensei, I've written down all the warm-up exercises you mentioned earlier.
No matter how challenging the training, I won't forget the basics. Can you now tell me the real secret to becoming stronger?"
Seeing Genos bowing to him again, Saitama, the bald one, was the one left baffled this time.
"What warm-up exercises? What I just said is how I became strong."
Genos, with his head bowed, naturally reacted with disbelief. In his eyes, this was merely basic training.
While it might help with physical conditioning, Genos couldn't fathom that it could lead to instantly defeating Ghost Rank monsters.
"Saitama-sensei, I know I'm not mature enough yet, or perhaps it's a pipe dream to want to learn your strength-building legacy right after joining.
But even if you reject me, please don't deceive me with jokes like this."
Saitama, not known for his eloquence, was left speechless by Genos's words.
He had told the truth, but Genos didn't believe him. Moreover, the "rigorous" training he had endured for two and a half years suddenly became mere "warm-up exercises" in Genos's eyes?
"Genos, Saitama might be a bit mischievous at times, but he's not lying to you this time.
You can think of it as if we all have a 'limiter' within us, and once we break through our inner limiters, we can surpass our limits.
How to break through one's inner limiter varies from person to person, but Saitama is a Chosen One.
Ordinary people continuously train to improve their strength, yet they still can't break through that barrier.
(End of Chapter)In the One Punch Man Universe, breaking through one's "Limiter" is akin to achieving a truly "Extraordinary" state. Just like Saitama, who still appears human but has surpassed the boundaries of "Human" capabilities.
However, it doesn't mean that all non-human beings, like Monstrosities, have broken through their "Limiters." Every living being has a Limiter, and while Monstrosities might be physically stronger than ordinary humans, they too have these Limiters. The difference lies in their racial traits, allowing their Limiters to have higher thresholds.
"So, even you, Night City, couldn't break through your Limiter? How did you become so powerful then?"
Although Mosquito Girl was ultimately defeated by Saitama, Genos had witnessed Night City's formidable power through previous footage. It was challenging for Genos to gauge who was stronger between Saitama and Night City, as both were far beyond his league.
But one thing Genos was certain of was that Night City was far stronger than him, strong enough to effortlessly crush him!
"You don't need to call me 'Teacher.' That baldy over there is more qualified to be your teacher.
My strength is only average, enough to protect myself in this world. But against that Limiter-breaking baldy, it's just a matter of a few more punches."
"As for how I became strong, there's nothing I can't tell you. But my method of gaining strength isn't applicable to you.
If you want to learn combat skills, I can teach you a thing or two. But when it comes to enhancing strength, I rely on cheating methods.
You know, like using third-
