After reviewing the Light Golden Quality Divination Tarot Card Twelve-piece Set, Zhang Yanhang first began testing strength, as he had once again increased his strength effect bonus by 15% this time. Although it's not much, it should theoretically still increase some of his strength.

Zhang Yanhang immediately placed the steel cube, which he had deliberately not swallowed back earlier, onto his right hand again. However, this time, he started with an eighteen-thousand-ton steel cube.

But as he lifted this pile of steel cubes, Zhang Yanhang immediately felt that, due to the low bonus, the margin was indeed not large, probably less than two hundred tons based on past experience.

Thus, Zhang Yanhang began stacking small steel cubes in increments of a few tons to get a more precise figure. Ultimately, after stacking dozens of small steel cubes, Zhang Yanhang confirmed that his current strength was about 18,184 tons.

"When I first equipped the Human Potential Activation Device +1, my one-handed strength was 17,996 tons, and now it has increased to 18,184 tons, equivalent to an increase of 188 tons in strength, which is indeed not much."

For Zhang Yanhang, who recently increased his strength by three thousand tons using the Human Potential Activation Device, this 188-ton increase in strength can indeed only be considered as a mere addition.

"But anyway, my strength has finally surpassed eighteen thousand tons. However, this is probably the limit of my Fourth Tier strength, as there isn't anything else that can continue to increase my strength."

Zhang Yanhang originally hoped that he might increase his strength to over twenty thousand tons at the Fourth Tier, but it seems that's not going to happen, as the strength gain at this Fourth Tier is indeed not much.

Moreover, although it's only eighteen thousand tons, it's already more than twenty times that of an average peak Fourth Tier Awakener. As far as he knows, a strength system Awakener without any bonuses, even with a hundred points of strength, can only exert less than a thousand tons of strength at most.

That's right; without any bonuses, a Fourth Tier Awakener with 100 points of strength likely doesn't even reach Zhang Yanhang's strength during his Third Tier period. After all, he already possessed over one thousand tons of strength during the Third Tier.

Additionally, although it's said to be less than a thousand tons, it's actually quite far from a thousand tons. To be more precise, it's below eight hundred tons if you gauge it accurately.

As a result, even his Third Tier strength might surpass a Fourth Tier Awakener with 100 points of strength by a large margin. This is one of the reasons why he could easily defeat the God of Sun, a Fifth Tier Monster, during the Third Tier.

Therefore, saying that Zhang Yanhang's current strength is over twenty times that of an average Fourth Tier Awakener isn't an exaggeration; it's just an account of the real situation.

In fact, it is likely that a Fifth Tier Awakener with 125 points of strength might be far inferior to Zhang Yanhang's current strength, as he has an incredible amount of strength bonuses, currently exceeding 1000%.

Furthermore, in reality, even during the clash with the Ancestor Virus Aggregation, he didn't feel his strength falling behind.

Of course, that's at the beginning; once the Ancestor Virus Aggregation turned into the God of Flesh and Corruption, his strength began to struggle.

That's because, at that time, the Ancestor Virus Aggregation had reached around Sixth Tier Second Star in power, and his strength wasn't enough to overpower it across a tier and a half, given the hundredfold disparity between two ranks.

So, his ability to match up against the Ancestor Virus Aggregation at Sixth Tier One Star initially was normal, but it definitely wasn't possible afterward.

"But 18,184 tons is still just my one-handed strength. If I amplify it with Spiritual Energy, I can immediately reach 36,368 tons, and if I calculate my dual-handed strength, it can reach 90,920 tons, fully entering the ninety-thousand-ton era, bringing me ever closer to lifting a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with a full displacement of over one hundred thousand tons."

Unfortunately, Zhang Yanhang's small goal of lifting it will have to wait until he advances to the Fifth Tier to be achieved.

Besides the 15% strength effect bonus, Zhang Yanhang also received a 15% Attack Power bonus, but as for the Attack Power bonus, it really doesn't matter much.

After all, not long ago, he obtained a 696% Attack Power bonus with his Infinite Life Epic-grade Talent, so this 15% is pretty much like the strength effect, a mere addition.

Moreover, compared to the quantifiable strength effect bonus, the presence of the non-quantifiable Attack Power bonus is even lower, being a situation where gaining or losing a little makes no discernible difference to him.

Unless there is massive fluctuation, he can't particularly notice the change, for instance, an increase of 50% or over 100%. But in terms of 15%, it's quite marginal.

Thus, compared to the 15% Attack Power bonus, Zhang Yanhang is more concerned about the 15% Attack Speed bonus.

After receiving this 15% Attack Speed bonus, Zhang Yanhang's Six Roots Pure Soul Gun's cannon bullet firing speed will be enhanced once again. If earlier it could only fire 6,840 bullets per second, now it can reach 6,990 bullets per second, increasing the firing speed by 150 bullets per second.

"Previously, I needed about 1.5 seconds to empty a machine gun magazine of ten thousand rounds, but now it only takes 1.4 seconds to empty a magazine, further reducing the time by about 0.1 seconds, leaving a 0.4-second gap to achieve the one-second goal."

As Zhang Yanhang previously mentioned, achieving the goal of reducing magazine clearing time to within a second is impossible in the Fourth Tier unless a few more Attack Speed Coins are obtained, which, obviously, isn't very realistic.

As the firing speed increases, the flight speed of the Six Roots Pure Soul Gun cannon bullets also accelerates, having smoothly increased from the original 164 Mach to 168 Mach, thereby further enhancing flight speed by 4 Mach.

If this 168 Mach Movement Speed is converted into meters, it has reached a distance of 55,760 meters per second.

Although temporarily firing a shot to hit the enemy command post from eight hundred miles away is still a bit distant, at least hitting an enemy bunker from one hundred miles away with a single shot is definitely not a problem, currently achieving an eighth of the effect.

Zhang Yanhang will continue to work hard in the future, striving to achieve the goal of truly being able to take out an enemy command post from eight hundred miles away with a single shot as soon as possible.

"Although the increase in flight speed isn't significant, only increasing by 4 Mach, according to the kinetic energy formula, the attack power of the cannon bullets has increased from 46.7 times the original 24 Mach to 49 times, equivalent to an increase of 2.3 times in attack power, which is pretty good."

Besides being concerned about attack speed, Zhang Yanhang also cares about critical strike rate and critical strike damage.

This time, Zhang Yanhang also received a 15% bonus in critical strike rate, and Zhang Yanhang's original critical strike rate, after including the green ten-piece set, was 206.5%. Adding the two together, Zhang Yanhang's total critical strike rate has now risen to 221.5%, with the excess part being 121.5%, which will proportionally convert into a critical strike damage bonus.

"And my critical strike damage multiplier, after also including the green ten-piece set, has reached 493.5%. Adding the 30% critical strike damage bonus from this tarot card divination upgrade to light golden quality, my critical strike damage multiplier has reached 523.5%."

Of course, this is not the limit of the critical strike damage multiplier, considering the excess 121.5% critical strike rate bonus. In this way, Zhang Yanhang's current critical strike damage multiplier has actually reached the level of 645%, increasing by 45% from the previous historical record of 600%.

"Previously, I could deal 6 times the damage with a single punch, but now I can deal about 6.5 times the damage. This increase is quite significant."

If the previous strength effect bonus and attack speed bonus could only be considered as the icing on the cake, then Zhang Yanhang is quite satisfied with the critical strike damage, as the increase is indeed substantial.

And although both are 15% additional attribute bonuses, for Zhang Yanhang, a 15% energy defense is definitely not the same as a 15% attack power bonus. It cannot be considered just the icing on the cake but a significant improvement of about one-third.

After all, all of Zhang Yanhang's current energy defense is provided by the divination tarot card, which was originally only 45%. Now it has increased to 60%, equivalent to him receiving an additional 60% defense power boost against any energy attack in the future.

To give a more detailed example, when Zhang Yanhang had only 45% energy defense, the energy from a punch capable of inflicting one hundred points of damage from the Nuclear Fusion Fist would cause seventy points of damage. But now, it would only cause sixty points of damage, significantly reducing the damage received.

Therefore, although it is indeed only 15%, the energy defense without data inflation is indeed more useful for Zhang Yanhang compared to the attack power bonus.

Likewise, skill cooldown reduction, which also hasn't experienced data inflation and is unlikely to do so, is relatively rare. After all, this reduction is a true percentage reduction that has already increased from the original 22.5% to 30%.

If I could truly reduce it to 100%, then Zhang Yanhang's skills would no longer have cooldown times and could be used as normal attacks. For Zhang Yanhang's strength, it would really be considered an epic-grade enhancement.

After all, if I could really use the Four Great Emptiness with an additional eleven times damage as normal attacks, not to mention the Sixth Tier two-star God of Flesh and Corruption, even if a Seventh Tier divine being came today, Zhang Yanhang might be able to directly defeat it on the spot.

But unfortunately, the current skill cooldown time is still a bit far from 100% reduction because this time upgrading to light golden quality only increased it by 7.5%.

Moreover, currently, there is no other way to obtain the skill cooldown reduction, Zhang Yanhang has only seen it in the additional attributes of the tarot card, which also causes Zhang Yanhang to only be able to further enhance the skill cooldown reduction effect by improving the quality of the tarot card.

Therefore, Zhang Yanhang estimates that it will still take a very long time for him to achieve using the Four Great Emptiness with no cooldown at all.

But compared to the long-term goal of reducing the cooldown time of the Four Great Emptiness to zero, Zhang Yanhang's current objective is to first accomplish a midterm target.

That is to reduce the skill cooldown time of the Four Great Emptiness to within the dizziness time, to achieve infinite dizziness for the enemy. Compared to the long-term goal, this midterm target is more realistic for Zhang Yanhang at the moment.

"The cooldown time of my Four Great Emptiness skill has always been fixed at 30 seconds, even though the Four Great Emptiness Pure World Fist has been upgraded from dark purple quality to red quality, it hasn't changed at all. Therefore, the cooldown time has only been reduced to 23.25 seconds in the previous cooldown reduction process.

This time, after the divination tarot card upgraded to light golden quality, the cooldown time is reduced by another 2.25 seconds, compressing the skill cooldown time of the Four Great Emptiness to 21 seconds."

Although it hasn't been compressed to under twenty seconds, it's still a significant improvement. As for the small goal of compressing it to under twenty seconds, Zhang Yanhang thinks it might only be possible to achieve when upgrading the divination tarot card to golden quality later.

Fortunately, if things go smoothly, the divination tarot card should soon be upgraded from its current light golden quality to golden quality, so it's not a big issue. At least it should be accomplished before advancing in rank.

Speaking of skill cooldown time, another additional attribute related to skills in the divination tarot card is also extremely important to Zhang Yanhang. In fact, it can be considered as one of the top-ranked additional attributes among the thirteen bonus effects, which is the skill coverage range bonus.

Zhang Yanhang has always been very concerned about skill coverage range, although his Four Great Emptiness attack skill doesn't really utilize skill coverage range, and the Indestructible Golden Body defense skill isn't very compatible with coverage range either.

However, Zhang Yanhang's Death Wave skill and Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil skill really require skill coverage range bonus because both of these types are the type where the larger the coverage, the stronger the effect.

Originally, Zhang Yanhang's divination tarot card, when maintaining a dark purple quality nine-piece set, only provided a 45% skill coverage range bonus. But now, after upgrading the tarot card to a light golden quality twelve-piece set, it has added an additional 15% skill coverage range bonus, raising the total skill coverage range bonus to 60%.

Without surprise, this 15% skill coverage range bonus will certainly further expand the coverage of Zhang Yanhang's Death Wave and Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil significantly. In some sense, skill coverage range bonus can sometimes outperform mere skill level upgrades in terms of expanding coverage because it is a specialized bonus with higher priority.
