He quickly came to terms with it.
「About twenty minutes later.」
Fang Zhen was getting reacquainted with his new physical condition.
His strength and reaction speed had been tremendously enhanced, most notably his explosive increase in power.
He tested his new abilities on a few household items. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
He had a simple 60-pound resistance band for home workouts. With a gentle pull, he could snap it as easily as tearing a piece of paper.
If he used a bit of strength on the stainless steel pot in his kitchen, he could rip off pieces of the metal as if crushing a thin piece of cardboard. He could then crumple the metal shards into a ball like paper, without even pricking his hands.
The strength of his physical body had also been enhanced to an incredible degree.
Fang Zhen could pinch a ceramic mug—the kind used for drinking water—and a piece would break off as if it were a crispy cookie. With a quick rub in his hand, the ceramic fragment turned into fine powder.
It took Fang Zhen a while to fully adapt to his newfound strength. He could moderate his power to be gentler, but it made his movements seem a bit slow. It wasn’t that his reactions were sluggish; rather, he had to consciously hold back to avoid damaging his furniture.
Beyond that, Fang Zhen’s reaction time, speed, and agility had also been greatly enhanced.
He could take a dozen or two dental floss picks, toss them into the air, and as they scattered and fell, he could catch them all. In the brief one or two seconds before they hit the ground, his fists moved so fast they audibly cut through the air, allowing him to snatch every single pick out of the sky and hold them in his palm.
He wouldn’t get pricked, nor would the force of his punches blow the picks off course.
Fang Zhen was astonished by what his body could do. His constitution had clearly reached a new level. To see just how much he had improved, he’d have to check the numerical ratings in the Dungeon Life game.
’He had a feeling all of his attributes were now above 15.’
’Strength and Constitution, in particular, probably felt close to 20.’
After about an hour, Fang Zhen had fully adapted to his new strength and physical condition. He could finally move around, sit, and lie down without accidentally damaging his furniture or other household items.
At that point, Fang Zhen found a spare mouse.
As a freelancer who spent a lot of time on his computer, he kept several spare mice and keyboards around the house.
He swapped in a Razer mouse he’d bought specifically for gaming, then went back to the Dungeon Life game to open his character attributes.
He then discovered that after absorbing the material from the surface of the Star Stone, the entire Dungeon Life game interface had changed.
A notification window popped up on the screen.
"Character Fang Zhen has been detected to have reached the Extraordinary Realm and cleared a Nightmare-difficulty dungeon in a normal world. A new game version upgrade is now available. freёwebnovel.com
The character attribute interface for Fang Zhen will now display a Character Strength Template rating."
Curious, Fang Zhen opened his character attributes and saw a new strength template rating had been added.
"Fang Zhen:
Strength: 21
Constitution: 22
Agility: 20
Spirit: 18
Perception: 18
Source Power: 21
Character Strength Template Rating: Heroic Five Stars."
"Huh?"
Fang Zhen couldn’t help but feel surprised when he saw his stats.
All of his physical attributes were over 15, and four of them had even surpassed 20. No wonder he felt terrifyingly powerful.
If he were to face the bosses from before, he could probably win just by fighting them head-on.
Fang Zhen’s confidence soared to unprecedented heights. It wasn’t arrogance, but rather a powerful faith in his own abilities.
He was now itching for a fight, eager to find a master or some other powerful individual to see just how strong he’d become.
Taking a deep breath, Fang Zhen suppressed his aggressive urge. He cast a deep look at the one-centimeter-square, silvery-white metal block on his desk.
’That Star Stone really is a marvelous item. It directly converts matter into physical power. I guess you could call that a form of mass-energy conversion.’
But his Spiritual Power hadn’t increased by much.
’That’s understandable. While Spirit might increase naturally along with my physical stats, it probably requires more targeted training to improve significantly.’
But Fang Zhen wasn’t worried. He had two free attribute points that he could put directly into Spiritual Power.
He found the option to absorb the subspace coordinate and clicked it.
The silvery-white metal block on his desk began to glow faintly. It then dematerialized, turning from a solid object into nothing as it was absorbed into the black wristband on Fang Zhen’s arm.
A message appeared in the Dungeon Life game: "Subspace coordinate absorbed. Character Fang Zhen may now use the established coordinate to enter the Radiant Space. No dangers have been detected within the Radiant Space. Please explore freely."
Fang Zhen’s eyebrows rose slightly. ’Radiant Space... what kind of place is that? Sounds pretty mysterious.’
His recent massive power-up from the material on the Star Stone’s surface only strengthened his belief that this coordinate didn’t lead somewhere harmful.
It might even be a place that was beneficial to him.
Given the incredible effects of the Star Stone, Fang Zhen started to form some very positive ideas about this Radiant Space.
However, he didn’t rush to enter.
’Since it’s been saved to the peripheral device, I should be able to enter whenever I want. There’s no rush. For now, I’ll focus on improving myself and taking care of things in the real world first.’
He returned to the dungeon rewards screen.
"Character Fang Zhen has obtained multiple ability upgrades within the dungeon. Your new abilities are as follows:
Gang Zan Seal (Lv. 4): Gangzan Earth (The 4th-level ability of the Gang Zan Seal. As long as both of your feet are on the ground, the defensive power of the Gang Zan Seal is enhanced. It channels incoming damage into the earth, reducing the drain on the Seal’s own power by 80%.
Consequently, while the user’s feet are on the ground, the Seal’s power consumption is reduced by 80%, and its defensive power is increased by nearly 100%.)
