Ashen God-Chapter 1041 - 1040: Dharma Body of a Thousand Zhang!
Of course, Zhang Yanhang wasn't talking about clearing the permanent teleportation channel in Africa, but rather preparing to use the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures he had just obtained from an encounter.
On his way back from school, unusually, Zhang Yanhang didn't teleport but walked along the entire route. After all, sometimes you can't detach too much from the masses, even though he belongs to another species now.
And perhaps that gave him a reason for the multiple choices he encountered, because on his way home, he continuously triggered several encounters for various reasons, all of which rewarded him with Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to enhance his energy value limit.
Regarding this situation, Zhang Yanhang really didn't know what to say. It seems the multiple choice still thinks his current energy value limit is far from enough.
So Zhang Yanhang pulled out eight pieces of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from his waist bag and swallowed them all at once into his Stomach Space.
That's right, eight. Counting the one triggered early this morning, he triggered three encounters during his way home today, completely maximizing today's free chances.
After waiting for these eight Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to digest a bit, Zhang Yanhang immediately started checking his energy value limit. He felt that with these eight Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures together, it should easily break the previous record of the 17,000-point energy value limit.
[Energy Value: 104,428/104,428 (Intelligence × 105, current body has been fully digitized, energy value recovery speed, 768 points per hour.)]
"This time, these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures seem much more potent than the previous ones, causing my energy value limit to increase much more than expected."
Originally, Zhang Yanhang thought that if he could increase his energy value limit by 25,000 points, it would be quite good, but now, his energy value limit increased from 74,908 points to 104,428 points, which is equivalent to an increase of 29,520 points in energy value limit.
"Originally, my small goal was just to reach the 75,000-point energy value limit, but now, not only have I achieved this small goal, I've also completed an additional 29 small goals. It seems that the original threshold interval of 1,000 points was indeed a bit insufficient."
Zhang Yanhang decided to set the next small goal at an interval of 5,000 points, with the next small goal to reach an energy value limit of 105,000 points. He is currently 572 points short, not much at all, which should be easily achievable.
"These eight Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures helped boost my energy value limit by 40%. If I could increase my energy value limit by 40% every day, it wouldn't take long to reach a million-point energy value limit, but unfortunately, that's not realistic."
Zhang Yanhang felt that as long as he maintained today's growth speed tomorrow, it would be good enough. However, the probability isn't high, considering that the multiple choices shouldn't go haywire for three consecutive days.
"Nevertheless, after consuming these eight Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the gap between my Life Value limit and energy value limit has significantly shrunk again."
Originally, Zhang Yanhang's Life Value limit was 3.7 times his energy value limit, but now it has suddenly shrunk to 2.7 times, which means it has been halved again.
However, even though the small goal of reducing below three times was easily achieved, Zhang Yanhang estimated that reducing it to less than twice might not be as easy. After all, as everyone knows, the smaller the gap gets, the harder it is to reduce further.
Unless his energy value limit increases more tomorrow than today, Zhang Yanhang doesn't feel confident about achieving the small goal of reducing it to less than twice.
"A normal Fifth Tier Awakened usually has an energy value limit of about 7,500 points. My previous energy value limit was 10 times that of a Fifth Tier Awakened, but it has now increased to 13.9 times, equivalent to an increase of 3.9 Fifth Tier Awakened's energy value limits."
Zhang Yanhang's short-term goal was to raise his energy value limit to 15 times that of a Fifth Tier Awakened. He initially thought that achieving this small goal without entering the Ashen World would be difficult, but with the help of multiple choice, it's surprisingly easy. He's now only short by 1.1 times that energy value limit to complete it.
Zhang Yanhang estimated that as long as he triggers one or two more related encounters tomorrow, he should be able to easily make up the remaining energy value limit.
After consuming the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures related to the energy value limit, Zhang Yanhang took out three more Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from his waist bag that could enhance energy value recovery speed.
Zhang Yanhang mentioned yesterday that only when the energy value limit and energy value recovery speed increase synchronously can it be considered healthy. So today, he also triggered a few more encounters, acquiring some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that enhance energy value recovery speed.
Therefore, Zhang Yanhang swallowed these three Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that could enhance energy value recovery speed into his Stomach Space and began re-examining his energy value limit.
[Energy Value: 104,428/104,428 (Intelligence × 105, current body has been fully digitized, energy value recovery speed, 1,215 (+447) points per hour.)]
"Originally, my energy value recovery speed had just reached 768 points, but now it has increased to 1,215 points, which means it has increased by 447 points."
Just like with the energy value limit, Zhang Yanhang feels that today's Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that enhance energy value recovery speed are much more effective than yesterday's. On average, today's increase per Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure is 149 points in energy value recovery speed, while yesterday's average was only 144 points.
After briefly checking the energy value recovery speed, Zhang Yanhang quickly opened the Swallowing Heaven and Earth skill effect to begin reviewing it. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
[Swallowing Heaven and Earth · Original LV.MAX (Passive/Active)]
[Passive Effect: Artifact (benefit) usage (consumption) effect +100%.]
[Active Effect: After skill activation, the Heavenly Destiny Master can swallow matter and energy into the Stomach Space through the mouth and increase body size, restore energy value by digesting matter and energy in the Stomach Space, with no cooldown time, and a small amount of physical strength consumed.
Current Stomach Space volume is 2000×2000×2000=80,000,000,000 cubic meters.
Current Stomach Space absorption efficiency is 8262 (+3040) [energy value recovery speed]×10%=826 (+304) energy value/second.]
......
"After consuming those three Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures just now, my actual energy value recovery speed has increased from the previous 5,222 points to 8,262 points, which is an increase of 3,040 points in energy value recovery speed."
"At the same time, after a 10% conversion ratio, my stomach space absorption efficiency has also increased by 304 points, from the previous ability to absorb 522 points of energy value per second to absorbing 826 points of energy value per second."
Currently, Zhang Yanhang has to admit once again that as long as there is enough Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the speed of improvement is indeed much higher than the benefits brought by improving skills.
"And because the Subordinate Sage Stone can double the absorption efficiency, my actual absorption efficiency should now be 1,652 points of energy value per second."
Zhang Yanhang previously felt that increasing energy absorption efficiency to more than 1,500 points shouldn't be very difficult. Now it seems to be very easy. Therefore, Zhang Yanhang plans to set the next small goal to increase absorption efficiency to over 2,000 points.
Zhang Yanhang thinks that this small goal should also be very easy to accomplish as long as he continues to trigger a few more adventurous encounters tomorrow.
Compared to the energy value limit, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that can enhance energy absorption efficiency are much easier to obtain. So even if he makes choices himself, he can easily acquire a big pile.
Currently, Zhang Yanhang is still 348 points of energy value absorption efficiency away from completing the 2,000-point small goal, which is at a level where he could complete it just by casually triggering one or two adventurous encounters tomorrow.
"Although the energy value limit also gained a huge increase this time, due to the significantly increased energy value recovery speed, the time I need to recover one stick of energy value has decreased from the previous 72 seconds to just 63 seconds now, effectively reducing it by nine seconds."
This exceeded Zhang Yanhang's previous peak speed. After all, the fastest he ever managed before was 68 seconds to recover one stick of energy value, and now his speed is five seconds faster than before.
Currently, Zhang Yanhang can basically say that he can automatically recover one stick of energy value in just one minute. However, his goal has always been to reduce the time needed to recover one stick of energy below a minute, so there is still a gap in reaching his short-term goal.
"And with the massive improvement in energy value absorption efficiency, the time I need to increase my size by one centimeter has also been reduced from the previous 19 seconds to 12 seconds, which means a reduction of seven seconds, equivalent to more than a third."
If this trend continues, Zhang Yanhang feels that he should soon be able to reduce his size growth speed to less than ten seconds.
"If I increase my size by one centimeter every twelve seconds, then I can increase my size by five centimeters in a minute, 300 centimeters in an hour, and 7,200 centimeters in a day, or rather 72 meters per day, which is indeed getting quite exaggerated."
Zhang Yanhang's previous size growth speed was equivalent to the width of an ordinary school-level soccer field, but now it equals the width of a World Cup-level soccer field. A World Cup soccer field's width is 68 meters, so now Zhang Yanhang's size is akin to increasing by one large soccer field every day.
"Before, I said I wanted to set a small goal to increase by 50 meters every day, but now I'm close to completing the 75-meter small goal, with only three meters left."
If calculated based on 2.8 meters per floor, Zhang Yanhang now grows by the equivalent of 26 floors' height each day, completing his previously set goals of 18 floors and 26 floors.
His next small goal is 33 floors. As to why 33 floors is the most common, it's because ordinary buildings must be below 100 meters, and beyond 100 meters requires additional approval, which is unlikely to pass. So in practice, they can't exceed 33 floors.
"However, given the current situation, surpassing the small goal of 33 floors doesn't seem too difficult either."
With the help of Multiple Choice, Zhang Yanhang believes this small goal can definitely be easily accomplished, as it's only seven floors in height difference, not difficult at all.
After checking the effect of the Swallowing Heaven and Earth Skill, Zhang Yanhang glanced at his Heavenly Earth Skill again, wanting to know whether his highest transformation limit had exceeded 3,000 meters.
[Heavenly Earth Form · Original Scripture LV.6 (Active Skill)]
[Active Effect: After the skill is activated, the Heavenly Destiny Master can freely transform (grow), with the maximum transformation limit of 2400% + 2700% = 5100% [currently 3876 meters (+1434 meters)], Strength effect +600%. No cooldown time, consumes a small amount of physical strength.]
[Additional Attributes: Maximum transformation limit +2700%.]
"My original height was only 4,789 centimeters, and now after more than ten hours of growth, my height has increased by another 2,811 centimeters, bringing my height to exactly 7,600 centimeters, or 76 meters."
At the same time, as Zhang Yanhang's body size grew, the maximum transformation limit of the Heavenly Earth Skill also increased from the previous 2,442 meters to 3,876 meters, effectively increasing the maximum transformation limit by another 1,434 meters.
Zhang Yanhang's small goal yesterday was to surpass the 3,000-meter height of Wutai Mountain. Now Wutai Mountain has indeed been easily surpassed, and even mountains like Emei Mountain and Taibai Mountain have been surpassed as well.
Zhang Yanhang's next small goal is to surpass the 4,122-meter-high Diancang Mountain. As for where Diancang Mountain is, it's the location of Dali Nanzhao country. As for what Nanzhao country is, it's the Nanzhao Country in the Legend of Sword and Fairy. However, Nanzhao was destroyed in the Tang Dynasty, very early on.
Apart from the 4,000-meter Diancang Mountain, Zhang Yanhang believes that by tomorrow at the latest, he should even surpass the approximately 5,000-meter-high Gaoligong Mountain. This is also his subsequent small goal.
With his current growth rate of 72 meters per day, achieving such small goals is indeed not difficult at all.
Forget about Gaoligong Mountain, Zhang Yanhang feels that he will soon even surpass Mount Everest. After all, his current Heavenly Earth skill has not yet been upgraded. Once upgraded, it will easily surpass Mount Everest and might even reach the stratosphere.
However, Zhang Yanhang currently indeed does not have enough soul points to perform the upgrade just yet.
