Based on the information acquired through Multiple Choice, it seems that Zhang Yanhang's current situation is a special augment brought about by the deepening of his body's energy quantification.

Specifically, after the deepening of energy quantification, his body seems to become more 'sensitive' to certain bonuses. Of course, considering that this statement might sound a bit odd, one might also refer to it as 'excess bonus', allowing him to enjoy a portion of additional bonus.

In other words, although the original bonus effect of the Eight Arms and Eight Feet sub-attribute, Flying Sand and Rolling Stones, might only be 120%, it actually exerts more impact under the support of this excess bonus, which is why his Movement Speed increased more than he imagined this time.

Of course, the scope of this excess bonus is relatively small, affecting only a few limited bonuses related to the body, or should I say, the few limited bonuses related to physical traits, which include Strength, Movement Speed, Attack Speed, and Stamina limit.

Other bonuses such as Energy Value, Life Value, or more advanced Skill Coverage Range Bonus are unaffected, not even defensive power and attack power are influenced.

After all, the quantification affects bodily tissues, and naturally does not affect unrelated aspects.

Although the scope of this excess bonus is relatively small, considering it is a free promotion of Rank, Zhang Yanhang is still quite satisfied. It should be able to boost his power considerably.

As for the specific amplitude of the excess bonus, Zhang Yanhang can only answer that he does not know, because this thing is quite vague with no detailed numerical value—it merely exists to let him enjoy free perks, yet he cannot fully understand its operational principles.

To put it plainly, since this is after all an enhancement brought by a Cultivation Technique more inclined towards the Eastern Immortal Cultivation System like the Limitless Universe Skill, within such a system it's indifferent to provide specific bonus explanations. Asking the principles only yields the response 'Xuanzhi Youxuan, Gate of Wonders'.

"Although I admittedly do not know detailed numerical values, there should be at least over thirty percent of excess bonus."

Regarding the detailed amplitude of the bonus, Zhang Yanhang can only say he will have to experience it a few more times in the future to feel it out.

"Therefore, this incremental Movement Speed achieved this time, this excess bonus must have contributed significantly; otherwise, my current Movement Speed might just barely hit one hundred Mach, absolutely not getting to the current one hundred and thirty-nine Mach."

Zhang Yanhang used to compare his speed with Intercontinental Ballistic Missile at Fourth Tier, but now, in front of him, the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile has become completely inferior. After all, his current Movement Speed has already exceeded twenty-seven Mach flight speed of the ballistic missile by more than five times.

"Previously, I considered the sixty-two Mach of the New Horizon as a small target, but now, looking at it, this target really isn't high at all. My basic speed alone is twice that of the New Horizon's Movement Speed.

So, given this, the next small target might as well be the Sun God 1. The Sun God 1 Detector's highest flight speed is 187 Mach, and I am currently 48 Mach away from this target."

Of course, if Zhang Yanhang blesses with Spiritual Qi, he could instantly surpass this small target, given that one hundred and thirty-nine Mach is just his regular speed. After the Spiritual Qi Blessing, he can actually achieve a Movement Speed of two hundred and seventy-eight Mach.

With this degree of flight speed, let alone the Sun God 1 Detector, even the historically first-ranked Juno Jupiter Probe which achieved 217 Mach peak speed using Jupiter's gravity slingshot would be surpassed instantly.

Thus, it's said, all mechanisms created by humans have already failed to surpass Zhang Yanhang's current Movement Speed. After promoting to Fifth Tier, he has officially surpassed Earth's previous low-level technological civilization.

And in the future, obviously, the Awakener Cultivation system is the true development direction for Earth, or rather the Empire.

Simultaneously, Zhang Yanhang is getting closer and closer to the Fourth Cosmic Speed. After the Spiritual Qi Blessing, his Movement Speed reached 94 kilometers per second, merely 24 kilometers short of the 120 kilometers per second Fourth Cosmic Speed.

It's said that Zhang Yanhang should quickly reach the Fourth Cosmic Speed, this original long-term goal he set, along with the enhancement of various Attribute points and related bonuses. Keep in mind, he previously prepared to achieve this at Sixth Tier, unaware of the excess bonus obtainable at Fifth Tier.

Yet, now with the excess bonus, the completion of this original long-term goal is substantially easier.

"Now, after blessing with Spiritual Qi, my Movement Speed every hour has increased to 339,703 kilometers, which roughly rounds to about 340,000 kilometers per hour. Previously, for me, even one complete circle around the equator per hour was unachievable; now I can complete a round trip in seven minutes."

Zhang Yanhang finds that the transformation from originally running 1.7 circles in an hour to recently completing a round trip in less than fourteen minutes is indeed quite significant.

"Previously, the 400,000-kilometer distance to the Moon could now be covered within merely seventy minutes at my current speed."

Judging by the current trend in his Movement Speed's elevation, Zhang Yanhang predicts at Sixth Tier he should genuinely manage free travel between Earth and Moon. Yet presently, spending over an hour is somewhat tedious, so he is temporarily disinclined to invest over an hour journeying to the Moon and returning afterward.

Of course, given his abundant Energy Value now, teleportation could be used for returning. Regardless, it remained cumbersome, so he felt there's no immediate necessity to visit the Moon.

After reaching 340,000 kilometers per hour, the time required to catch up to the Golden Record radically declined.

"340,000 kilometers in an hour, equaling 8,160,000 kilometers a day, and 29,784,000,000 kilometers a year with three hundred sixty-five days—which rounds to about thirty billion kilometers—currently the distance between the Golden Record and Earth is 240 billion kilometers."

Therefore, based on Zhang Yanhang's current Movement Speed, if the Golden Record remains stationary, he would only need eight years to catch up to it.

However, considering the fact that the Golden Record is aboard The Voyager 1, which continues to move forward at Forty-nine Mach, theoretically, during these eight years of pursuit, The Voyager 1 would advance several billion kilometers. Thus, it should take him about ten years to catch up to the Golden Record in the end.

But life is precious, and for him, who took just over a month to get promoted to the Fifth Tier, it's naturally impossible to spend ten years chasing a Golden Record. Such meaningless activities might be attempted post-retirement if he's in the mood for a long-distance space marathon, but not now.

After testing his Movement Speed, Zhang Yanhang prepared to test his current Strength level.

Considering that the ten thousand tons of Steel cubes stored in his Stomach Space was nowhere near enough, Zhang Yanhang immediately utilized Truth Alchemy on the surrounding Magma Rock to convert it into a large batch of new Steel cubes.

This kind of large-scale enforced conversion might have been somewhat difficult in the past, but now both the conversion time and Energy Value consumption levels have greatly reduced, making it basically available for casual use.

Previously, he would mostly rely on extracting the already existing matter within and then extract it; the previous batch of Steel cubes was manufactured in this way.

Given that the Strength increase at the Fifth Tier should be relatively fast, Zhang Yanhang converted fifty thousand tons of Steel cubes at once. Of course, he couldn't possibly use all of that immediately; it's more for future growth to avoid having to create anew with every upgrade.

After the conversion succeeded, Zhang Yanhang immediately began testing his Strength. Although before, at the Peak Fourth Tier, his maximum Strength barely reached nearly twenty thousand tons, this time, from the start, he placed fifty thousand tons of Steel cubes on his right hand, and as expected, it indeed felt effortless.

However, as Zhang Yanhang continued the tests, he started feeling something inexplicably off, and then he immediately deactivated the Transformation Skill, reverting to a fifteen-meter normal body size, "Hmm, this is right."

Indeed, after more than four hours, Zhang Yanhang's body size increased from nearly thirteen meters to fifteen meters; this was after a delay in the middle, otherwise, he might have reached almost sixteen meters by now.

And naturally, his body size also granted a certain blessing to his Strength. However, given his relatively small body size, his weight is still at a low level, probably only forty or fifty tons. So, in terms of his tests with tens of thousands of tons of Strength, the difference isn't substantial.

But it must be said, without the self-constraining Transformation Skill, he indeed feels much more comfortable. After all, any confinement is still confinement and won't make anyone feel comfortable, especially since he doesn't have any particular quirky tastes.

Once he released his body again, Zhang Yanhang immediately continued testing his Strength. This time, he placed ten thousand tons of Steel cubes once more on his right hand, totaling fifteen thousand tons, and it still felt effortlessly light.

Therefore, Zhang Yanhang further added ten thousand tons of Steel cubes to his right hand. This time, he finally felt the excess shrinking, but a shrinking of excess doesn't mean the absolute limit is reached. Ultimately, he gradually added over two thousand more tons of Steel cubes to finally test his absolute Strength limit.

After testing, Zhang Yanhang found that his current Strength had increased from 18,623 tons during the Peak Fourth Tier to a level of 271,175 tons, marking a single large increase of 252,552 tons in Strength compared to before.

"After promoting to the Fifth Tier this time, the increase in Strength feels particularly substantial. Obviously, I have not yet maxed out the Main Attribute of Strength to the Tier limit, and yet I already possess 271,175 tons of Strength. Isn't this growth too excessive?

Could it be due to the exertion of the excess bonus again?

It is possible since my Strength bonus had already reached over 1000%, possibly nearing 1500%. Thus, the magnitude of the excess bonus I enjoyed is far greater than that of the Movement Speed."

During the prior Peak Fourth Tier, including Promotion and subsequent increases, his total Strength growth only reached eighteen times the level of the Peak Third Tier.

Yet now, having just promoted to the Fifth Tier and done nothing nor acquired any Strength bonus, merely purely increasing his Strength Attribute, his Strength has reached 14.6 times that of the Peak Fourth Tier Period, which is simply absurd.

Ordinarily, past experience suggested that solely increasing Attribute values, even raising the Strength to the top, only resulted in around a tenfold boost, but the current Strength before reaching the Tier limit has already grown nearly fivefold beyond it. How could this not astonish Zhang Yanhang?

"Had there been some Strength bonus reward for the Main Attribute of Strength before, perhaps my current Strength could increase up to sixteen times or even more compared to the Peak Fourth Tier."

Given this relatively effortless Strength gain, Zhang Yanhang predicts that he may quickly surpass the eighteenfold limit multiple of the Peak Fourth Tier Period, returning to a growth rate beyond twenty times into the Peak Level.

"Moreover, this 271,175 tons is merely the basic single-handed strength; if Spiritual Qi blessing were applied, the single-hand strength would immediately reach 542,350 tons, and if accounting for double-handed strength, it has already reached a terrifying 1,355,875 tons."

Zhang Yanhang's previous Hundred Million Tons of Force was merely an idiom, or typically required the assistance of other external forces and Skills, but this time it's clearly different, achieving a genuine Hundred Million Tons of Force.

"Originally, I thought of lifting a fully loaded ten-thousand-ton displacement nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, yet now nuclear-powered carriers seem trivial. Even without Spiritual Qi blessing, one hand can easily lift three."

Zhang Yanhang recalled that the heaviest ship globally, the Nuo Keswei Crude Oil Transport Ship, held a full load displacement of around ninety thousand tons. Hence, after replacing artificially crafted machinery in speed, Zhang Yanhang's Strength has also similarly surpassed human-crafted machinery.

Therefore, to some extent, Zhang Yanhang now possesses the capabilities to destroy humankind, with both his speed and Strength, and could thus be described as fully surpassing human civilization.
