By concentrating hard enough, he could feel the world around him slow to 0.5x, or even 0.3x speed. From his perspective, every action became much slower.
This meant he had double or even triple the reaction time. When other people couldn’t react in time and had to rely on instinct or muscle memory, Fang Zhen could calmly and consciously choose to dodge or attack.
In this state of highly concentrated Spiritual Power, it was impossible for an arrow to hit him.
Furthermore, if his observational skills were sharp enough, he could even dodge a pistol shot just by reading the tell-tale movements in the shooter’s hand and shoulder muscles. He wouldn’t even need precognition.
After his Constitution reached 22, the abilities Fang Zhen gained were near-total immunity to toxins and the elimination of his weaknesses.
With a Constitution of 22, Fang Zhen no longer had any true weaknesses.
Even if a Longsword were plunged into his heart, he wouldn’t die. As long as the blade was removed and his body had sufficient energy—be it from a power source or even just rest—it could automatically repair the damage to a critical organ like the heart within 20 minutes to an hour. He would be restored to his original condition without any lingering damage.
It wasn’t just his heart; the vast majority of his internal organs and muscle tissues possessed this same powerful restorative ability. freewёbnoνel.com
Under these circumstances, Fang Zhen’s only remaining weakness was his brain.
Of course, this incredible restorative ability wasn’t true regeneration. A severed finger wouldn’t grow back. However, as long as a part was only injured and not completely detached, it would not necrose.
At the same time, Fang Zhen was immune to most diseases and the vast majority of toxins. A poison that would be lethal to an ordinary person would only make him feel a little unwell.
Even if he were to ingest a lethal dose of a poison like potassium cyanide, he wouldn’t die. He would merely experience some abdominal pain before it was expelled from his system.
Fang Zhen’s intuition had also grown sharper.
Furthermore, his senses—sight, smell, touch, and more—could now pick up on subtle differences with extreme clarity.
If he wished, he could become the greatest painter in the world, as his ability to perceive color surpassed that of almost anyone alive.
As Fang Zhen came to understand these changes in his abilities, he felt a deep sense of satisfaction.
Although he still looked like an ordinary person living in modern society, his power, physical condition, and all-around abilities had become utterly Extraordinary.
In terms of fundamental qualities and raw talent, only the most brilliant geniuses in human history, like Da Vinci, could possibly compare to him, and even then only in a single field.
This was a comparison of raw talent and aptitude, not of actual accomplishments.
Fang Zhen was very satisfied.
He also knew that the instance settlement was drawing to a close.
Just then, a new dialog box popped up from the Instance Life Game.
"Character Fang Zhen has been detected initiating a key main questline within the instance. In 55 days, the Purgatory-level instance, ’The Final War,’ will become available. You may spend 5 points to unlock information about it in advance."
Without a second thought, Fang Zhen unlocked the information.
"You have unlocked information for the instance: The Final War. This is a Hell-difficulty instance and the final one for the Curse Seal World."
"Upon clearing this instance, you will be granted the right to permanently reside in the Curse Seal World. Here, you will face the world’s most powerful forces."
"However, you need not be overly concerned. Given your current level of power and rate of growth, you are already among the most formidable beings in this world."
"Whether the world of humanity will ultimately ascend into the light or plunge into darkness—the choice now rests in your hands."
"Special Note: As this is the ultimate instance of the Curse Seal World, you may encounter forces operating at the upper threshold of the world’s power limit.
Some of these forces may even surpass the world’s limits. We recommend you proceed only with absolute confidence or with enough surplus power to overwhelm the opposition. This will ensure a better game experience."
Fang Zhen rubbed his chin after reading the message.
"Oh?"
"So the Instance Life Game acknowledges my power to this extent?" Fang Zhen couldn’t help but smile.
Besides that, Fang Zhen also spent Merit Points to learn the Curse Sealer inheritance.
This learning process didn’t just implant skills. Instead, the entire legacy of the Curse Sealer system was downloaded into his consciousness, and many of his curse seals received a boost in experience points.
For this, Fang Zhen spent 320 Merit Points, and in return, he received the complete Curse Sealer legacy.
Now, when he opened his skill bar, he could see the subsequent levels for all his curse seals, including ones that were not yet highly leveled like the Kun Sha Seal and the Chong Ang Seal. The future levels were visible, just not yet unlocked. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
All his curse seals were now open up to level 5, though he had yet to spend Merit Points to learn them. Anything beyond level 6 remained hidden.
Fang Zhen wasn’t in a hurry to upgrade these skills. He planned to save his points for the next instance, believing it would be more strategic to upgrade them as needed.
There were two things he still had to do.
Fang Zhen sat in front of his computer, thinking to himself, ’This massive upgrade is all thanks to that unique drop from the Starfall Evernight instance.’
’After absorbing that energy substance, I also received the coordinates to a subspace. That space probably isn’t hostile; after all, I’ve already benefited immensely from the material I found on its exterior.’
