Chapter 1076: Chapter 786: Children Are Not Weak

This round of strengthening did not bring any direct changes to his equipment. After stowing away the new gear, Zheng Yichen headed back home; there was plenty of time left for preparations, so he planned to arrange some upcoming matters at home.

Upon returning home, Zheng Yichen immediately shared the situation with Katrina and the others.

He also coordinated some plans with Ahn Ke before leaving, deciding not to wait too long this time. With everything ready, heading out early meant he could return sooner.

Back at the Dusk Cathedral, Zheng Yichen followed Tia into the world-crossing room. Open door, close door, open door.

Zheng Yichen’s eye twitched slightly as he felt a significant pressure; his body felt unusually heavy. Compared to the world where he conducted the Ark of Life experiments, this world was even more low-level.

"The new skill I just learned!" Inside such an environment, Zheng Yichen couldn’t help but complain, "Is this kind of place really suitable for me?"

"I think it’s very suitable for you," said Tia calmly as Zheng Yichen held her back.

"A double bottomed-out world?" In this world, Zheng Yichen could sense palpable malice—he had never experienced such an environment before.

The worst he’d encountered before was still leagues better than this.

Additionally, in this kind of environment, a single gunshot could easily take him down—provided the shooter was skilled enough to hit him.

His physical capabilities were undoubtedly exceptional; in high-level environments, he possessed a top-tier physique. Even in low-level environments, he remained at the pinnacle, though the shoddy setting significantly dulled its advantages.

As for performance coefficient that transcends human template—such a factor enables individuals to exhibit greater power or speed within the current environment, akin to how innate muscular strength in lions and tigers surpasses that of humans.

They don’t even need training.

Zheng Yichen’s extra performance coefficient allows him to unleash lion-and-tiger-like strength while operating under the human template.

Hmm... More precisely, his upper limit here, like everyone else, is capped at a theoretical maximum of 10. However, humans often struggle due to growth hindrances, rarely achieving a perfect 10, perhaps reaching that level in just one attribute.

Some individuals, born with extraordinary talent, exhibit a slightly higher performance coefficient in specific areas, making them indisputable rulers in certain domains.

Zheng Yichen, however, boasts a theoretical perfect 10 across all aspects of his body, along with a higher-than-average performance coefficient that lets him surpass this perfect 10 baseline and reach 120% or beyond.

Still, the performance coefficient accumulated by him wasn’t merely that low—his Wild Ancient physique, and the accumulation from defeating Supreme Demons, True Gods, Demigods, and other powerful beings, had undoubtedly pushed his coefficient far above this.

Yet this world’s low-level environment caused his performance coefficient to overshoot its limits drastically.

Zheng Yichen didn’t immediately leave the world-crossing room but conducted a simple and rigorous test. His current performance coefficient stood at roughly 1.7, such a dismal level.

In Hazy City, his performance coefficient had already surpassed 5. The higher the world’s environment, the higher the upper limit for the performance coefficient—this was the change after balancing out Hazy City’s environment.

The prior environment of Hazy City had been around 3. The higher the environment level, the higher the potential performance coefficient upper limit—even so, improving it remains challenging.

Not to mention achieving the theoretical extreme value. Zheng Yichen accelerated the improvement of his coefficient by relying on his extraordinary abilities, but lately, his progress had stagnated for quite some time.

When dealing with the Devourers’ base, despite defeating countless Devourers, his coefficient didn’t increase at all—instead, his basic Strength and Unity of Heaven and Man features saw slight enhancements.

The most recent improvement came during the Great World experience.

Such improvements, however, only become harder and harder.

In this world, his perfect physique combined with a coefficient of about 1.7... Well, fine—even with extra coefficient, competing in raw strength against lions and tigers here was laughable.

A coefficient of 1.7 doesn’t mean Zheng Yichen can only exhibit 1.7 times the theoretical strength—it involves factors like explosive force, which ultimately makes his output strength greater.

When combined with his mastered Combat Skills, raw strength might lose against big cats, but it wouldn’t stop him from killing them with a single punch.

Strength has its limits, performance coefficient has its limits, but mastered skills can further raise attack strength limits!

Of course, without special powers in this world, the limitation of techniques depends solely on individual physical qualities. Zheng Yichen now has a coefficient of 1.7 for physical performance.

This naturally provides a considerable boost to the upper limits of technique-enhanced attack strength.

Even if someone else possesses a perfect 10 physique and matches or exceeds his mastery of combat techniques, they would still lose against Zheng Yichen due to their lower coefficient being suppressed by his superior one.

Unless Zheng Yichen’s combat techniques are woefully inadequate, allowing them to leverage stronger techniques to close the gap—in that case, the outcome might reverse. However, when both parties’ physiques and techniques are comparably excellent...

Other factors become crucial.

Though not absolute, Zheng Yichen has confidence in his combat abilities.

"Sigh... I used to never care about such matters this much." Having finished a series of tests, Zheng Yichen exhaled. Before, performance coefficients were merely grasped accurately; now he had to perform operations just to pinpoint precise values.

In such a nearly entirely ordinary environment, detailed understanding of these aspects becomes critical.

Without special powers, even a slight advantage in strength or speed can decide outcomes in combat.

Fortunately, while rapidly growing stronger, he hadn’t ignored improving his combat technical proficiency.

Techniques for harnessing physical Strength, marksmanship, swordsmanship, and fist techniques—all of these he’d studied. Marksmanship was his best skill, seamlessly integrating into attacks even without a long spear. Swordsmanship was the weakest, as it was recently learned alongside Sword Nourishing Technique and has barely been utilized. Fist techniques, being weaponless and reliant on his physical strength, received focused study.

While learning these, Lilith served as the ultimate learning aid, allowing Zheng Yichen to learn much faster. She could monitor his body in real-time.

Errors during practice were corrected; according to Lilith’s cheeky "entering the body" monitoring method, accuracy rates improved even further.

Hmm... The so-called internal monitoring involved inserting some fine needles into his body that didn’t impede movements, enabling more precise oversight—making his cultivation doubly efficient.

With such detailed insights into his current situation, he sought to understand the extent of his capabilities in this environment.

In higher environments, the presence of special powers lets upper limits leap forward—there are too many ways to temporarily raise those limits, such as using Malicious Erosion to forcibly synchronize the environment with Unity of Heaven and Man characteristics, significantly boosting limits.

Thus, upper-limit fluctuations in high environments are substantial. In low environments, however, such methods are futile; weaponry offers the most immediate way to boost upper limits.

Unable to kill peers barehanded? Just grab a kitchen knife for instant lethal power. Add in a gun, even stronger yet—planes and artillery, if aiming accurately, provide high-environment-style downward dimensional suppression barrages.

Even with a presumably unparalleled 1.7 coefficient in this world, Zheng Yichen couldn’t withstand bullets—he might survive getting hit better than regular humans, though.

Adding reinforced body armor, as long as he avoided headshots, he could charge through gunfire stubbornly, while ordinary people would get instantly repelled.

In his internal space, Tanshia Firlo stared blankly at her surroundings. When released by Zheng Yichen, she remained in a dazed state, prompting Zheng Yichen to suspect something was wrong with the small white dragon.

Concerned, he brought out her favorite divine wine and waved it in front of her nose, but the small white dragon maintained her lethargy: "No appetite, don’t want it, I feel so terrible—"

"As long as you can speak, that’s good. I thought you’d gone mute." He reached out and ruffled Tanshia Firlo’s hair, exhaling slightly in relief, "How do you feel now?"

Such a low-level environment had a significant impact on Zheng Yichen and an even greater one on Tanshia Firlo.

While Zheng Yichen existed within the human template, Tanshia Firlo remained fundamentally a dragon, even if currently in human form.

"Awful—I feel like I’m suffocating, drowning." Tanshia Firlo clung to Zheng Yichen, tears brimming in her eyes, "I don’t even have a trace of Magic Power, and I can’t generate any either. Everything feels so ordinary, so foreign."

At this point, she could only retain her human form. Transform into a dragon? Maybe she could—but without Magic Power, how could she manage? Furthermore, her current Life Force was insufficient to sustain a dragon transformation.

Even if magic replenishment was possible, her lack of Life Force would make forcing the transformation tantamount to suicide.

Her protective sphere and Holy Relic of Life now only retained their durability; for protection? She could hold up the protective sphere as a shield and attract all enemy attacks—sure, that’d technically be protective.

"Don’t cry, don’t cry. Stay within the internal space for now where it’s safe." Zheng Yichen cradled the tearful small white dragon, comforting her. If he’d known this world was like this, he would’ve left Tanshia Firlo back in Hazy City.

Lilith’s projection scanned Tanshia Firlo’s condition and reported, "Boss, her physique is still top-tier, even if it doesn’t conform to the perfect 10 testing model—it’s likely between 7 and 9."

In this world, Tanshia Firlo wasn’t weak!
