"I remember the skill 'Heavenly Earth' is labeled as having minor physical strength consumption, isn't it? Why is my stamina depleting so quickly now? Could it be because I've become too big?

It's quite possible, after all, one would need to at least adhere to the law of energy conservation somewhat. It's not possible for both thirty-six meters in height and three hundred and sixty meters in height to consume the same amount, this isn't 'Multiple Choice' where you can exploit a bug..."

Zhang Yanhang did want to exploit a bug with 'Heavenly Earth,' but unfortunately, it wasn't cooperating—or perhaps he felt that reaching a height of three hundred and sixty meters with 'Heavenly Earth' was already akin to exploiting a bug, maybe due to an erroneous estimation of spell effects that allowed such a massive size increase.

Zhang Yanhang had an intuition that the Dharma Body's abnormally heavy weight likely stemmed from this reason; of course, it's possible it happened because his stamina limit could not sustain such a drastic transformation hence the incomplete mass accumulation.

"But although it only lasts for three minutes, making it similar to an Ultraman transformation, one can't deny that this form's attack power is definitely still immense..."

Even if Zhang Yanhang did nothing and simply used his body, weighing tens of thousands of tons, like a meteorite to smash down from the sky at several times the speed of sound, it would still cause considerable damage.

"Although the stamina consumption of 'Heavenly Earth' now is absurd, when you think about it, the range of minor consumption is quite extensive.

Thus, to some extent, this three-minute transformation can still be considered as minor consumption of stamina. After all, 'Death Wave' is upgraded to the original level 6 and still only uses a minor amount of stamina. 'Heavenly Earth' may consume more, but there should be a certain gap between them..."

Due to the rapid draining of his stamina, Zhang Yanhang simply tried it out briefly before canceling the state. He really wanted to test his weight, but honestly, there wasn't a good way to do so, as the world doesn't have scales capable of weighing tens of thousands of tons.

Not to mention an embarrassment like a seesaw—that definitely wouldn't support it, unless he managed to construct an oversized seesaw out of high-quality materials, but unfortunately, he did not have enough materials at hand.

If he were at a Crimson Iron Ore Vein, he might be able to experiment with high-density, high-quality Crimson Iron at the bottom, but such conditions clearly did not exist in the Main World.

After canceling the transformation from 'Heavenly Earth,' Zhang Yanhang proceeded to cancel the enhancements from skills like 'Giant Transformation,' 'High-level Giant Transformation Technique,' 'Frenzy Skill,' and 'High-level Frenzy Technique.' He wanted to see how substantial the normal version of the 'Heavenly Earth' stamina depletion was, so, he quickly restarted 'Heavenly Earth.'

This time, without the interference from spell enhancements, Zhang Yanhang transformed to his normal limit of thirty-six meters in height, unable to push any further.

He soon discovered that the stamina consumption of this normal version of 'Heavenly Earth' was indeed very normal; based on his current stamina limit, maintaining it for an hour or two wasn't a problem at all, basically falling back into the realm of minor stamina consumption, comparable to the 'Indestructible Golden Body.'

But soon after, Zhang Yanhang again applied enhancements like 'Giant Transformation,' 'High-level Giant Transformation Technique,' 'Frenzy Skill,' and 'High-level Frenzy Technique' to himself. He wanted to know whether the spells would still work under these conditions; if they didn't, that would be a catastrophic weakening.

With each reinforcing spell cast, Zhang Yanhang's body began to expand rapidly, only this time it didn't grow too much, just from thirty-six meters to fifty-four meters before the expansion ceased.

"I initially thought the spells could scale up proportionally, but now it's clear they can only add a fixed amount...

After releasing the 'Giant Transformation' set, I could swell from two meters to twenty, which is an increase of eighteen meters. But now, with the amplification from 'Heavenly Earth,' it's still only an eighteen meter increase, from the original thirty-six to fifty-four."

Zhang Yanhang surmised that the reason for this situation might be due to the low rank or strength of the four 'Giant Transformation' spells. Thus, 'Heavenly Earth' could base its transformation on them but they couldn't proportionally influence 'Heavenly Earth,' and only add to the size in a fixed manner.

"Let it be, let's not think about these things for the moment. I should test my current strength instead."

While Zhang Yanhang was eager to test his strength, he soon encountered an embarrassing dilemma: the steel-reinforced concrete in his Waist Bag seemed to be insufficient. Even if he took out all the concrete from the Waist Bag, it still wasn't enough to gauge his current boundaries of strength.

To be honest, the amount of reinforced concrete he had stored in either his Waist Bag or Storage Box was already quite substantial, but it still wasn't enough. His Storage Box had eight hundred slots and could hold eight hundred cubic meters of items. He had previously taken four hundred slots' worth, amounting to a thousand tons of steel-reinforced concrete.

He thought that this much concrete was more than enough for strength testing, but he was evaluating 'enough' from a Second Tier perspective, underestimating the gap between ranks.

Now, having condensed the thousand tons of concrete into a single entity held in his hand, he still felt an excessive amount of ease, making for an awkward situation.

Fortunately, compared to measuring weight, strength tests could be improvised with local materials. There was no shortage of rocks on the island.

Based on Zhang Yanhang's observations, the main part of the island consisted of volcanic rock with a density of about 3.0, or in other words, the whole island was the product of a submarine volcano, solidified by cooling magma, and hence a solid rock island without much flora or fauna.

So, Zhang Yanhang immediately extracted a large chunk of volcanic rock from the island as a tool for strength testing. However, this volcanic rock was not as precise as the steel-reinforced concrete Zhang Yanhang had used for a long time.

Or rather, he wasn't as skilled in using it for measurement, which meant he could only roughly estimate his current one-handed strength to be around two thousand tons. He couldn't achieve the precision that he could with concrete, down to the single digit or even a decimal point, like fifteen and a half tons, for example.

"Although I had anticipated this, the figure of two thousand tons per hand is still staggeringly impressive. No wonder my concrete isn't sufficient; after all, even if I filled all eight hundred slots in my Storage Box with reinforced concrete, it would only amount to two thousand tons at the most.

But since the Storage Box also contains other items, it's not feasible to fill it entirely with concrete. Besides, even if it were enough this time, it would undoubtedly be insufficient the next time."

"Although there are still over two hundred slots in the waist bag," Zhang Yanhang said, "filling them all with reinforced concrete is completely unrealistic. Next time, I should pack some high-density substances, such as steel or lead plates, or materials like tungsten which have high density."

At this point, it's necessary to mention that the reinforced concrete Zhang Yanhang used this time was not from the same batch as the one used in the Ashen World.

The batch of reinforced concrete previously used in the Ashen World came from the abandoned houses in Raccoon City (forcibly abandoned), but that batch of reinforced concrete could not be taken out of the Ashen World due to material restrictions.

Therefore, the reinforced concrete used for measurement this time was reloaded from a construction site in the Main World before. He ended up filling four hundred slots because initially, he thought that to get things done, it's best to resolve it all at once to avoid the trouble of having to reload and run back and forth because of insufficient weight.

However, as a result of his Rank promotion, it still ended up not being enough. Later, he planned to discard this batch of reinforced concrete and replace it with other high-density objects, which would better serve the increasingly stronger strength tests in the future.

"Now my single-handed strength is two thousand tons," he continued, "which means, if I use the Spiritual Qi Blessing, it would instantly become four thousand tons per hand, roughly eight times that in the Giant Transformation state, and twenty-one times that in normal state. It's great to have such a large multiplier, going straight from 189 tons to 4000 tons after maximizing the enhancement."

Based on Zhang Yanhang's past experience, a single-handed four thousand tons meant that both hands combined would definitely be over ten thousand tons. Just the two hands alone would be eight thousand tons, not to mention the strength of the waist and abdomen. Considering the human power structure, the strength exerted by both hands is bound to be much stronger than that of a single hand.

"Just having ten thousand tons of strength now," he pondered, "at a height of three hundred and sixty meters, considering my starting weight of ten thousand tons, shouldn't I be able to exert tens of thousands of tons of force?"

Zhang Yanhang estimated that with such a level of strength, beating Third Tier would likely not be a problem, and even taking on Fourth Tier Awakened might overflow with potential, making him eager to find a Fourth Tier to test his strength.

Unfortunately, there were no Fourth Tier Awakeners in the Main World who would attack him out of nowhere, and he wasn't the type to actively attack other unknown Fourth Tier Awakeners just for that. So, he figured the only way to find a Fourth Tier to practice on would be through channels in the Ashen World.

"Right, what would be my weight now?"

Since there was no other way to measure his weight at the moment, Zhang Yanhang could only continue to approach the problem from the perspective of the seesaw.

After some thought, he felt that it should be addressed from the materials aspect. However, the amount of Crimson Iron and Refined Crimson Iron he brought from the Ashen World was not excessive. It would be unrealistic to use them to make an extra-large seesaw to support a fifty-six-meter-tall giant.

Fortunately, Zhang Yanhang had Alchemy skills. After discovering high iron content near the seabed, he used Alchemy to convert a large amount of high-purity steel.

Although he didn't often use the conversion function, he had mastered Alchemy for a month, ensuring that he was quite skillful in its use.

If Zhang Yanhang tried to forcibly convert iron ore into gold, the Energy Value consumption might be high. But converting to steel, a similar material, only consumed a tiny amount of Energy Value.

This was why he didn't often utilize conversion. Adhering to the law of energy conservation for an equivalent exchange was truly annoying. Since he had the Energy Value for an equivalent exchange, he thought it would be more convenient to directly use the Multiple Choice to make wishes.

After converting a large quantity of high-purity steel, Zhang Yanhang immediately followed up with Fusion to condense and smelt it, which was necessary to create a steel seesaw capable of supporting his weight. Otherwise, ordinary steel might not hold up.

After all, the seesaw he made was really rudimentary, lacking any shock absorption or protective devices, merely a plank with a fulcrum – quite primitive.

Well, it was mainly because he was too lazy to make it more complex. Since it was just a single-use Item, as long as it worked, that was enough. There was no point in making it too elaborate, especially when it wouldn't be used again.

Perhaps due to Zhang Yanhang's expertise in Fusion, the seesaw made of ordinary steel as the material actually managed to weigh him. It clocked in at a hefty 1968 tons, almost similar to his single-handed strength without Spiritual Qi Blessing, but compared to the tens of thousands of tons with Spiritual Qi Blessing, it felt much less significant.

Moreover, Zhang Yanhang felt that his weight this time was very normal, without the previous bizarre feeling of lightness. The overall density was similar to before he transformed.

"At a normal height of thirty-six meters, it's 1968 tons, but with the Spell enhancement at a height of three hundred and sixty meters, it's only tens of thousands of tons, which is quite abnormal indeed."

Based on Zhang Yanhang's experience, at such a stature, the weight should at least start at a hundred thousand tons.

"Knowing now that my weight in that state is abnormal, I can't tell whether it's due to insufficient Stamina limit or a simple issue with the effectiveness of the Spell..."

By the current results, Zhang Yanhang guessed that if he could truly reach a height of three hundred and sixty meters solely through the Heavenly Earth Skill, then his weight would definitely be normal.

It was just that relying purely on Heavenly Earth Skill to achieve the Hundred Feet Dharma Body might still be a bit difficult for now. Chances for Third Tier might be small, but Fourth Tier should be attainable.

"So, the question is, now that I've tested my strength and weight, what should I do next?"

Zhang Yanhang thought about it and decided he might as well test out his Three-Headed Six-Armed ability on this island, so he immediately tried to activate it.

Currently, Zhang Yanhang only had an Energy Value limit of 5325 points, while generating all the Three-Headed Six-Armed forms required 4500 points. Coupling with the Energy Value spent on smelting steel, it completely drained his Energy reserves.
