"Previously, when I upgraded the Limitless Universe Skill, my Constitution Attribute already reached a level where it was overflowing by double digits. Now, after upgrading my Talent, it has increased by another three points, causing the Constitution Attribute to overflow even more."
Fortunately, when it comes to Attribute values, more is always better. By relying on Talent to enhance the Constitution Attribute, I can use fewer Free attribute points on Constitution in the future, freeing those points for other Attributes.
Therefore, although it appears to be just an increase in the Constitution Attribute, it indirectly helps enhance other Attribute values as well.
This is probably the benefit of evenly increasing Attribute values. Of course, there's also the reason of Main Attribute restriction; even if I wanted to avoid evenly increasing it, I couldn't.
"And Ability Two Energetic has also increased the Stamina limit by another 120%, raising the total Stamina limit bonus provided by Ability Two from the original 400% to 520%."
With such a large increase in Stamina limit, if Zhang Yanhang previously could only release the Death Wave 3700 times, he can now continuously release it 4900 times, amounting to an increase of roughly 1200 more releases—quite a substantial growth.
"Currently, one release of the Death Wave Skill can cover an area of 6.1 square kilometers, and continuous release of 4900 Death Waves is enough to clear a total coverage area of 29890 square kilometers."
Previously, after just upgrading Death Wave, Zhang Yanhang could only cover 22570 square kilometers due to increased Stamina consumption. Now, compared to before, he has increased the covered area by 7320 square kilometers.
He has even easily surpassed the peak data from before upgrading Death Wave, where his highest record was only 26180 square kilometers of coverage. Now, it exceeds that by 3710 square kilometers.
"The entire Umbrella Biochemical Test Field only covers 40,000 square kilometers, yet I can already cover three-quarters of it using just the Death Wave."
If this development continues, when the XX-level Talent Sea House Addition is upgraded to the XXX level, Zhang Yanhang believes he might be able to cover the entire Umbrella Biochemical Test Field with just the Death Wave Skill.
The idea of covering a whole high-level area with Death Wave was something Zhang Yanhang didn't even dare think about at a low level, but after a few simple Talent level upgrades, it seems about to be accomplished. And for him, this doesn't even count as a short-term goal, merely a small target.
"With nearly 30,000 square kilometers of coverage, it can already envelop fifty of the South Korean Capital Han City (600 square kilometers) or fifteen of Tokyo City (2000 square kilometers). But compared to Qin Island City, it's only enough to cover about 2.5 of them, which is still quite decent."
Considering that Zhang Yanhang previously acquired the Life Drain ability, which helped increase his endurance, even calculating with the lowest 30%, his total coverage area now actually reaches 29890×1.3=38857 square kilometers, nearly 40,000 square kilometers.
Therefore, in this regard, Zhang Yanhang's goal to cover the entire Umbrella Biochemical Test Field with just the Death Wave can indeed be considered a small target, as he's already nearly there, and even without upgrading further, acquiring a related piece of Equipment could easily fill the gap.
"Nearly 40,000 square kilometers is legitimately a provincial-level destruction ability. After all, provinces like Hainan only have over 30,000 square kilometers, and based on my current coverage, it's more than enough, with plenty to spare."
However, Zhang Yanhang also knows that slightly more normal provinces generally have over 100,000 square kilometers, so he can't be completely proud just yet. It's better to wait until the Death Wave can cover over 100,000 square kilometers to truly possess 'provincial-level' strength.
"Although I've already possessed provincial-level or even country-destroying level strength through Meteorite Fall, that kind of ability isn't a conventional attack method and can't be reused in a short time. So, the regular attack method of Death Wave is more reliable."
Only after unlocking the no-cost Flying Ability in the Fourth Tier has Zhang Yanhang found Death Wave increasingly handy. Flying once through the sky, enemies automatically perish, a temptation few could resist.
"This time, Ability Three Longevity increased basic Life Span by eighty years, bringing it from the previous 260 years to 340 years.
Besides that, the Life Span conversion factor also increased by four points, from eight to twelve points. Coupled with my 100 points in Constitution Attribute, my Life Span increased by 400 years, raising the converted Life Span from 800 years to 1200 years.
The two combined bring my total Life Span bonus from the original 1060 years to 1540 years, equivalent to a 480-year increase."
In the past, Zhang Yanhang didn't discard the notion of a longer Life Span, but he was relatively indifferent. Now, however, the increase of 480 years in Life Span grows more appealing.
"Following Ability Three's Life Span increase, Ability Four Source and Flow also updated in real-time, raising my total Life Span from the original 2040 years to 2520 years.
But more importantly, Ability Four's Attack Power conversion factor and defensive power conversion factor doubled from 0.05% to 0.1% this time.
Accounting for the 480-year Life Span increase, my Attack Power Bonus and Defense Bonus grew from 102% to 252%, equivalent to a 150% increase in Attack Power Bonus and Defense Bonus."
Zhang Yanhang really finds the increase in huge Attack Power Bonus and Defense Bonus somewhat exaggerated because, if translated to his just-acquired Golden Equipment, this 300% total bonus is equivalent to stacking ten pieces of Golden Equipment together.
"That way, every punch I throw can cause 4.5 times the damage of a Normal attack."
Of course, this calculation only considers damage increase from Attack Power Bonus, while Zhang Yanhang has even higher bonuses from Melee Damage Bonus, Physical Damage Bonus, Critical Strike Damage Bonus, Special Attack Bonus, and many more yet to be calculated.
Currently, his critical strike damage bonus, accounting for the overflow critical strike rate bonus, has reached a terrifying 587%, which means his normal attack directly becomes six times the damage. Therefore, just considering the critical strike damage bonus, his normal attack can deal 27 times the damage.
If we add the 39.6% special attack on life-form enemies provided by the All Things are Impermanent from the Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist, which in reality doubles when attacking targets like Attack Armor, Clothing, and Beimao, then it can be considered as 79.2%. In other words, if you apply an additional 0.8 times bonus as a special attack bonus, it reaches 48.6 times, rounding up to about 49 times.
In other words, just calculating with three relevant damage increase coefficients, his normal attack alone can already deal 49 times the damage.
Besides that, there are a bunch of other relevant damage increase coefficients, such as the weakening of defensive power, armor penetration damage, damage enhancement provided by Attack Coin, and the heavyweight Triple Strike as well as the Four Great Emptiness.
Just the Four Great Emptiness with a 1000% bonus can easily elevate the attack multiplier to hundreds of times, and when including extra attack, reaching over a thousand times may not be a problem. It truly seems quite exaggerated.
However, extra attack is relatively hard to trigger, so the hundreds of times attack from the Four Great Emptiness is more practical.
This may also explain why every time Zhang Yanhang uses the Four Great Emptiness, he can basically decide the outcome of a fight with one punch. After all, his normal attack can already cause lethal damage to enemies, not to mention being enhanced ten times. The best outcome is that the enemy is turned to mush on the spot.
One can say that just the types of his damage amplification effects alone reach double digits, which is perhaps why Zhang Yanhang, unlike other Awakened, rarely uses offensive skills. He can clear an entire area by just normal attacking.
Even at this level, Zhang Yanhang is still not satisfied; he still wants to gain more bonuses to enhance himself, so that his retirement life can be more stable.
At least he wants to avoid being cut down by some strange person yelling 'My fate is determined by me and not by heaven.' He doesn't want to become a real-life example of an old man getting cut down for gold coins.
"Besides the increase in attack power, this 150% growth in defensive power is also considerable..."
Based on Zhang Yanhang's experience, if he used to be hit with shield-breaking attacks by peak Fourth Tier Four Star monsters, now even peak Fourth Tier Four Star monsters can no longer harm him.
Or, apart from Fourth Tier Lord Monsters, Zhang Yanhang is confident in resisting 99% of attacks from monsters of the same tier.
However, this is only limited to monsters with relatively single attack methods. If the attacks come from Awakeners of the same tier, it's uncertain, since the abilities of Awakeners are bizarre, and no one dares to say they can withstand all types of attacks.
As long as the ability is suitable, let alone Awakeners of the same tier, even against low-level Awakeners, one might flip over, like when he previously encountered Shen Mengling, who obtained the Time Pause ability through the Talent [Asynchronous Synchronization]. Without special resistance like Zhang Yanhang, even Fifth Tier Awakened can't handle her.
Moreover, the terror of Asynchronous Synchronization lies not only in mastering the Time Pause ability but also in fully reversing related elements as long as enough energy value is there.
For example, reversing the enemy's attack back onto themselves, or even reversing the enemy's body, like forcibly turning the enemy's brain around, few could withstand the side effects of having one's brain spin inside the skull.
It can even perform extremely humiliating maneuvers, such as directly reversing the enemy's gender, turning from male to female on the spot, with such a reversal being irreversible.
This is why Zhang Yanhang is immune to Time Pause, or else even he would have a hard time against such an ability. After all, time stop plus instant reversal kills, whether in combat or by other means, are quite a BUG.
Zhang Yanhang even thinks, given such reversal abilities can already reverse the flow and standstill of time, perhaps reversing the human body into various trace elements isn't impossible either.
Of course, such a level of reversal ability must consume a considerable amount of energy, and Zhang Yanhang believes that even if Shen Mengling can truly use it, she probably can't use it many times.
Though he merely encountered her by chance in the streets, Shen Mengling's [Asynchronous Synchronization] is undoubtedly the most powerful combat-related talent Zhang Yanhang has come across.
After all, such abilities that can manipulate time, and likely to a certain extent manipulate space (reverse space) are exceedingly rare.
It's just that Zhang Yanhang's Multiple Choice's strength far surpasses [Asynchronous Synchronization], otherwise, he really wanted to get a talent like Asynchronous Synchronization as his awakening talent.
After all, Asynchronous Synchronization is definitely among the top tier of Awakener talents, exceedingly excellent in potential, with further promotion entirely possible to do things like reversing death, thereby achieving some similar operations to resurrecting on the spot.
Unfortunately, Zhang Yanhang didn't exchange contact information with her last time; otherwise, post-retirement, maybe she could help him with resurrection buffs or resurrection matches; even if he dies, he could occasionally come back to life, making for a more joyful retirement life.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yanhang decided that if he has time in the Main World, he might go look for Shen Mengling again, at least exchange some contact information with her. After all, although he has resurrection artifacts, having multiple ways to resurrect never hurts.
As for how to find Shen Mengling, there's no need to worry about that at all. After all, Zhang Yanhang's Multiple Choice isn't just for show. Probably at that time, casually spending a bit of energy value should easily locate Shen Mengling's position. After all, it's not something difficult like a curse, but merely finding someone.
