At that time, perhaps completing the full version of the minor objective would not be possible, but achieving an incomplete version, such as adding the Shield Value Limit and the Life Value Limit together to reach ten times the Life Value Limit of the same tier Awakened, would be considerably easy.

After checking his Life Value Limit and Shield Value Limit in succession, Zhang Yanhang quickly opened up his Energy Value Limit to check it as well. Just now he had gained eight Intelligence Attribute points, and logically, his Energy Value Limit should have increased significantly as well.

"Energy Value: 5760/5760 (Intelligence × 34, current body has officially become data-formatted, Energy Value Recovery Speed, 93 (+6) points per hour.)"

"The eight points of Intelligence Attribute I just increased have raised my Energy Value Limit from the original 5325 points to 5760 points, adding a total of 435 points to the Energy Value Limit. Of this, the SS-level Scroll Dragon Bloodline provided a 60% increment to my Energy Value Limit, helping me increase it by 163 points, while the remaining 272 points of Energy Value Limit came from the conversion using the basic Maximum Energy Value Conversion Coefficient. By the way, 272 sounds very familiar, it seems that my Life Value Limit had also increased by the same amount, but there it was the total increase, whereas here, it was just the base increase."

Regarding this coincidence, Zhang Yanhang could only attribute it to the conversions coinciding, as both the Maximum Life Value Conversion Coefficient and the Maximum Energy Value Conversion Coefficient were thirty-four points.

"I recall that the next minor objective I had set on the Energy Value side was supposed to be six thousand points of Energy Value Limit; now, it's quite close, just two hundred and forty points short of reaching this minor objective. However, a bit regretfully, my Intelligence Attribute has already reached the third tier's limit of seventy-five points, so if I want to continue growing, I can only rely on obtaining additional Artifacts or improving the level of the Scroll Dragon Bloodline to increase my Energy Value Limit. But fortunately, I wasn't really counting on just relying on Attribute values for growth."

Although Zhang Yanhang had never cared about it, besides the Life Value Limit, his Energy Value Limit had also already reached three times that of same tier Awakened.

A normal Third Tier Awakened would probably have an Energy Value Limit of 25 × 75 = 1875 points. His current 5760 points of Energy Value Limit is exactly three times theirs, or rather, 3.072 times.

Besides the growth in Energy Value Limit, Zhang Yanhang also noticed that the Energy Value Recovery Speed had likewise increased, from the original 87 points up to 93 points, growing by six points again.

These were all gains from the Intelligence Attribute increasing from sixty-seven points to seventy-five points, or rather, during the upgrades to seventy and seventy-five points, each time increasing three points of Energy Value Recovery Speed.

Compared to the previous increase in Life Value Recovery Speed, the enhancement in Energy Value Recovery Speed was indeed much more useful to Zhang Yanhang, though, even though the Energy Value Recovery Speed had indeed increased, relatively speaking, it had still lessened.

Because the increment in Energy Value Recovery Speed was entirely unable to keep up with the speed of increase in the Energy Value Limit, if previously Zhang Yanhang only needed twenty-three and a half hours to fully automatically recover all his Energy, now it would take about twenty-three hours and forty-five minutes.

Thus, although the Energy Value Recovery Speed really had increased, relatively speaking, it was slower by a quarter of an hour, just about missing the quarter-hour that would have allowed him to recover all his Energy within a day.

After checking the changes in the Life Value Limit, Shield Value Limit, and Energy Value Limit, Zhang Yanhang still did not rush to upgrade his skills but decided first to test his current Strength and Movement Speed, especially since he had just had a significant increase in Strength and Agility Attributes.

Zhang Yanhang first tested his Movement Speed; the shattering rocks on the barren island and the even larger sonic boom bore witness to his speed enhancement.

According to the test results, his present Movement Speed had increased from moving 556 meters per second prior to any enhancement to moving 676 meters per second, an increase of 120 meters per second.

If converted to Mach, that was from 1.64 Mach to 1.99 Mach, an additional increase of 0.35 Mach in Movement Speed.

Moreover, under these circumstances, Zhang Yanhang felt it was practically feasible to round it up slightly and consider it as two Mach, and with a blessing of Spiritual Qi, he could immediately reach a Movement Speed of four Mach.

"In the past, describing someone's speed as fast was likened to being as fast as a bullet, but I've long been faster than a bullet, and now I'm on the same class as missiles, and even more, like a flexible missile that doesn't have a fixed forward path and can't be countered..."

Zhang Yanhang's current Movement Speed had already surpassed all human-piloted aircraft, only unmanned vehicles or rockets were faster than him.

For a specific description, it's somewhat equivalent to the Russian-made Granite anti-ship missile mentioned previously; at the time of its manufacture in the 1970s, its maximum flight speed was about 2.5 Mach.

However, after modernization in the twenty-first century, although the cruising speed did not increase much, the terminal fire rate when approaching its target increased to four Mach.

To further compare, it's probably beyond the terminal three Mach of Yingji 18 and reached the speed of the terminal four Mach of Yingji 12, only the Yingji series might not be as famous as the Russian anti-ship missiles, and as to why, well, those who understand, understand.

"Previously, I used missiles to describe the flight speed of cannon bullets, but now it's used to describe my own Movement Speed, truly a rapid progress."

And speaking of the speed of cannon bullets, although Zhang Yanhang's ability to obtain new Attack Speed Bonuses had not led to further increments in the speed of cannon bullets, the flight speed of 8.9 Mach had still easily surpassed Russia's fastest and most advanced Haoshi anti-ship missile.

Even the terminal speed of the Haoshi anti-ship missile was only eight Mach, so in reality, Zhang Yanhang's cannon bullet speed had already reached the speed of a ballistic missile, and not only that, it had long surpassed short-range ballistic missiles directly stepping into the speed of medium-range ballistic missiles.

Medium-range ballistic missiles typically have a maximum speed of about ten Mach, but due to the Medium-Range Treaty, neither the United States nor Russia had much target for comparison, only the old Dongfeng-21 is barely suitable, or rather, the Dongfeng-21D.

And going even further, speeds beyond ten Mach, even twenty Mach, are the domains of intercontinental ballistic missiles, the most powerful missiles used to carry nuclear warheads.

Although current cannon bullets only reach 8.9 Mach, Zhang Yanhang still had great confidence in them, feeling that reaching the speed of an intercontinental ballistic missile shouldn't be very difficult.

"If my current movement speed were converted to kilometers, it would be about 2434 kilometers per hour, which is almost the minimum distance from the Empire to the United States," he reasoned, "In other words, I could make it directly from the Empire to the United States in an hour."

Of course, the United States here also refers to a borderline, just an uninhabited island without value or human presence.

But if Zhang Yanhang was to add a spiritual Qi blessing, it would be a whole different story. With the spiritual Qi blessing, his movement speed per hour would reach 4868 kilometers, allowing him to make it directly to Alaska in an hour, which is the large oil field sold by Russia.

Unfortunately, it wasn't actually considered the real mainland of the United States. If he could travel another two thousand kilometers, Zhang Yanhang could make it directly to Washington.

Of course, this Washington is neither the city of Washington nor the Washington D.C., nor is it the corpse located at the Virginia Mount Vernon Manor of the Falling Sakura Divine Axe, but rather the state of Washington, whose capital is the well-known city of Seattle.

However, due to certain reasons, Washington D.C. has changed from the original capital to the fifty-first state of the United States, so now, there are actually two "states of Washington."

But there is indeed some difference between them, Washington D.C. being fully called the District of Columbia, which distinguishes it from the original state of Washington. However, this Washington is quite a distance from the Empire, a whole ten thousand kilometers away.

If Zhang Yanhang were to visit the state of Washington, he would need only about three hours for a round trip, but going to D.C., that would take four hours to complete a round trip.

"With my speed of 1352 meters per second after the spiritual Qi blessing," he thought, "even the entire Earth feels somewhat constraining, as its equatorial circumference is only forty thousand kilometers. I could traverse the equator and travel around the world in about eight hours."

Zhang Yanhang remembered that Fast Dragon took sixteen hours to encircle the Earth, and he was now twice as fast as Fast Dragon—surely a divine beast in the world of Pokemon. Well, mainly because the power system in Pokemon isn't very strong, he figured that once he reached the Fourth Tier, not even Arceus would stand a chance.

After testing his speed, Zhang Yanhang quickly moved on to strength testing by pulling out a steel plate from his waist bag which he had previously forged. Due to his confidence, he started with a 250-ton steel plate, but unexpectedly, he still had much room to spare, so he quickly added another fifty tons.

Even with three hundred tons, Zhang Yanhang still felt quite at ease. Therefore, after gradually increasing the weight, he discovered that his strength had impressively reached 334 tons.

Previously during tests, his single-handed strength in normal condition was merely 207 tons, but now, although he had only gained five points in his strength attribute, his strength impressively surged by 127 tons.

Although Zhang Yanhang had known that increases in attribute values were not fixed amounts but were proportional, this was still the first time he truly realized just how ludicrous proportional increases could be.

A mere five points in strength attribute had escalated his strength by 127 tons, equating to eight times his total strength of sixteen tons when he had fifty points in strength attribute.

"Indeed, in the face of attribute growth, other strength effect bonuses truly pale in comparison."

Although only a leap of twenty-five points, the current Zhang Yanhang, with seventy-five points in strength attribute, had become twenty-one times stronger than when he had fifty points in strength.

This enormous disparity indeed couldn't be matched by ordinary strength effect bonuses, and considering the Zhang Yanhang with twenty-five points in strength from the First Tier, it was hundreds of times greater than before.

"And now, if I apply another spiritual Qi blessing," he mused, "I could attain a one-handed strength of 668 tons, nearly forty percent higher than the 491 tons I managed when I released the Giant Transformation four-piece set. Quite satisfying."

Zhang Yanhang figured that if he used the Giant Transformation four-piece set now, he could easily reach a thousand tons in strength, considering it provides a strength effect bonus of up to 160 percent.

However, as much as he could say that, Zhang Yanhang decided not to test the Giant Transformation right now, given that ordinary state strength had the most test value and except for fighting bosses, the Giant Transformation really wasn't used much.

After completing the strength test, Zhang Yanhang felt like he had no more tasks at hand, so he casually released a Death Wave to see what his current stamina limit was. He discovered that his stamina had substantially increased compared to before.

Originally, he could release Death Waves with the maximum range two hundred fifty times, but now, with the addition of a hundred fifty times, he could continuously release it four hundred times. It was merely a hundred less than the five hundred times from his peak period before upgrading.

Zhang Yanhang even felt that with a bit more effort and consuming some more Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, it was very likely to regain those glorious times when he could cover the entire range five hundred times or a small range a thousand times.

To this, Zhang Yanhang could only sigh once more, affirming that increasing attribute values truly was the best way to boost one's strength, but regretfully, attributes had their limits and couldn't be increased indefinitely, which was truly disappointing.

"Although I didn't reach the thousand times of my original peak period, eight hundred times in a small range is actually sufficient," he reasoned, "especially because the coverage of the Death Wave has increased, so the current 'small range' is almost equivalent to the previous 'large range,' and its power has also increased."

Thus, in a way, Zhang Yanhang had enhanced both power and coverage, completely winning as if Emperor Qin Shi Huang had touched a live wire. Of course, this was primarily due to the increase in stamina limit. Without it, the victory wouldn't have been so complete.

"I wonder, just how long could my current stamina limit sustain me in battle under normal conditions?"

Zhang Yanhang thought if he managed the release of his Death Waves well and didn't use up all his stamina at the start, he could probably fight continuously for several days without needing rest, naturally also depending on his stamina recovery speed.
