Chapter 169 Basic Strength 17,000! Breaking the Sound Barrier with Physical Body!
Lu Sheng's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he rapidly calculated in his mind.
All attributes are doubled in human-dragon form.
That means—!
The force will reach a terrifying 30000 jin! That's 15 tons!
With one punch, you could smash right through the armor plate of a destroyer, let alone a heavy truck!
And speed...
Normal speed is 180 meters per second.
After doubling, it's 360 meters per second!
"The speed of sound is 340 meters per second..." Lu Sheng muttered to himself, a chilling madness in his eyes. "That means, if I unleash my ultimate skill now, I'll be a humanoid supersonic missile!"
As long as the physical body can withstand it, there is nowhere in the world that one cannot go.
"call……"
Lu Sheng took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the agitation in his heart, and slowly gathered that terrifying aura back into his body.
Returning to simplicity.
At this moment, he looks like a slightly handsome boy next door, harmless and approachable.
"Right now, I can dominate levels 7 and below."
"Even if I can't beat a level 8 opponent, I can retreat with ease thanks to my supersonic speed."
"As for Tian Zhen, who is at the level of 9 step..." Lu Sheng stroked his chin, "Although he still can't beat him, if he wants to run away, he might not be able to catch up with him."
With this newfound confidence, Lu Sheng's mindset became completely stable.
His gaze shifted and landed on the remaining pile of crystal cores on the bed.
The previous enhancement consumed 30 high-level crystal cores.
There are now 2 top-level crystal cores, 13 advanced crystal cores, and a pile of 180 intermediate crystal cores that haven't been processed yet.
Even a mosquito's leg is meat; we can't waste it.
Lu Sheng waved his hand.
"System, synthesize all 180 intermediate-level spirit source crystal cores!"
[Ding! Synthesizing...]
Synthesis successful! Obtained: 18 Advanced Spirit Source Crystal Cores!
A flash of light.
The intermediate-level crystal core that originally occupied most of the bed has disappeared, replaced by 18 advanced-level crystal cores with a deeper color and more concentrated energy.
Including what was originally left, he now holds a total of 31 high-level crystal cores and 2 top-level crystal cores.
"It's time to be thrifty again."
Lu Sheng sat cross-legged, counting his belongings like a miser.
Now that we have offensive capabilities and internal organs strengthened, the only weakness is...
His gaze fell on the "Strong Bones Grade I" section.
"Too much muscle, too much bone—that's a classic case of a glass cannon."
Back when I was only level 6, my bones were already aching slightly when I unleashed my full power.
Now that my strength has doubled, if I sprint at full speed and crash into something, or punch something hard, I might break my own arm before the enemy dies.
"We must toughen our bones!"
Lu Sheng's eyes were firm.
"System, how much bone strengthening is needed to reach Level II?"
[Ding! Bone enhancement upgraded to Level II (full body), requires 20 high-grade spirit crystals.]
"20 pieces?"
Lu Sheng glanced at the 33 coins in his hand and raised an eyebrow.
"Granted!"
"Strengthen bones!"
With Lu Sheng's command, the 20 newly synthesized high-level spirit source crystal cores shattered instantly.
This time, the commotion was even more intense than strengthening internal organs.
"Click click click—"
A series of rapid, popping sounds filled the cabin, sounding like someone was chewing on glass.
pain!
Excruciating pain that penetrates to the bone!
The feeling was as if countless tiny hammers were smashing every bone in his body, removing impurities, and then recasting it with steel.
Lu Sheng gritted his teeth, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, but he didn't utter a sound. He just gripped the bed sheet tightly, his knuckles turning white from the excessive force.
He knew this was the only way.
To withstand the load of supersonic speeds and to unleash a 15-ton punch, you need a steel-like frame; otherwise, you're just asking for trouble.
[Ding! Strengthening...]
Significantly increased bone density...enhanced bone marrow hematopoietic function...bone hardness comparable to alloy...
As time went by, the excruciating pain gradually subsided, replaced by an indomitable sense of fulfillment.
Lu Sheng raised his arm.
Beneath the skin, a faint, cold, hard luster, like that of jade, emanates.
He flicked his forearm bone lightly with his finger.
"when--"
It actually produced a clear, metallic clang!
"Good heavens." Lu Sheng grinned, wiping the cold sweat from his face. "Now he's truly made of iron."
[Ding! Enhancement successful! Bone Strengthening Level II!]
[Overall skeletal strength increased by 200%! Significantly improved resistance to impacts!]
[Basic strength increased by 2000 jin!]
An unexpected delight.
Originally intended only to increase physical strength, it unexpectedly led to a significant increase in basic strength as well.
Lu Sheng's current basic strength is approaching 17,000 jin!
"Only 13 high-level crystal cores and 2 top-level crystal cores remain..."
Looking at his belongings, which had shrunk by more than half, Lu Sheng felt a pang of heartache, but even more so, a sense of peace.
This is real combat power.
Just as Lu Sheng was immersed in the joy of becoming stronger.
A torrential downpour began outside, and the storm intensified.
The Blazing Flame struggled forward amidst the raging waves, the long raft it was towing behind teetering precariously, and the cries of the refugees were torn apart by the raging wind.
Meanwhile, in the deep sea behind the fleet.
Two ghostly black shadows were relentlessly pursuing the fleet's wake, rapidly closing in.
"Big brother, I saw it!"
Tianyou broke through the waves, revealing half of his scaly head, his greedy gaze locking onto the massive Blaze at the forefront.
"That human's presence is on that black ship!"
Tian Zuo smiled sinisterly, his row of sharp teeth gleaming coldly in the flashlight.
"Tsk tsk, still dragging around so many burdens, are they afraid of not dying fast enough?"
He glanced at the trembling humans on the rafts, his eyes filled with contempt, as if he were looking at a herd of pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
"Forget about the blood food, charge straight for the big ship!"
Tian Zuo licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with a green light: "Remember, we only want that level 6 kid's head! Quickly finish him off, then we'll find a place to refine the Sea Soul Grass!"
"Understood!" Tian You tightened his grip on the jade box in his arms, trembling with excitement.
That's the key to level 9!
boom--!
The two level 8 experts no longer concealed their auras, and a terrifying pressure erupted instantly, causing the surrounding seawater to surge wildly.
Like two deep-sea torpedoes, they charged straight at the hull of the Blazing Flame with undisguised killing intent!
"You insignificant human ant, your life is mine!"
On the Blazing Flame.
Lu Sheng, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.
A chilling killing intent flashed in those golden vertical pupils.
"They arrived quite quickly."
He slowly stood up, stretched his neck which had just been strengthened, and made a series of crisp "crack" sounds.
"Perfect, let's test the hardness of this new set of bones on you."
PS: Today's update (4/4). Brothers, did I really suppress the power level in the first fifty chapters? I think it's fine. Why is everyone saying I suppressed the power level? Could you guys please give me a five-star review to explain? I really didn't suppress the power level! Please give me a five-star review! I get hundreds of requests for updates every day. I don't need everyone to go to the review page, but even half of them would save this book. I implore you all to give me a five-star review. If there are more than ten five-star reviews, I'll add an extra chapter tomorrow!!!
