Chapter 139: Chapter 128 Physique and Constitution Are Different_2

After the rampage, the boost from Burst Mode wasn’t as significant as before; Zheng Yichen felt as if he had hit a ceiling. Hitting this ceiling didn’t mean his strength increases were completely halted, but rather that if beforehand a full ten-fold increase in effort yielded a ten-fold increase in strength, now that same effort might only result in a two-fold increase—or even less.

A ceiling...

This sort of limitation reminded Zheng Yichen of certain human bottlenecks on Earth, like sprinting, where top athletes find it exceedingly difficult to improve after breaking the ten-second barrier in the hundred-meter dash, and where maintaining that level is an achievement in itself.

"You would be considered merely a mid-level warrior in my world," the Fire Dragon grumbled as it recovered, eyeing Zheng Yichen, who had disengaged from combat, with some interest. It pondered making another move, but after receiving a glare from Zheng Yichen, it promptly subdued itself.

"And what would you be considered in this world?" Zheng Yichen glanced at the dragon.

The Fire Dragon Klakauska softly moved its mouth: "A mid-level warrior... with a stronger constitution."

Though loath to admit it, that was indeed his current situation. In his own world, he could slap a whole group of ordinary mid-level warriors to death, but in this world, it seemed mid-level warriors stood at the pinnacle. Although he could still rely on his draconic constitution to defeat normal mid-level warriors, the power Zheng Yichen had shown was not that of an ordinary warrior.

It was utterly absurd that this guy could ignore the volcanic fumes.

"So what exactly is this world? I was just curious about some strange occurrence, and then I got stuck in this damned place! Can I even return?"

"Return? Forget about it. The randomness of these occurrences is great. If you didn’t return before the corresponding phenomenon disappeared, that basically means you’re stuck here forever," Zheng Yichen said as he continued, seeing the dragon heart’s crestfallen expression: "You might try contacting other occurrences, but the worlds they’re linked to might not be as favorable as this one."

"?" The Fire Dragon looked puzzled at Zheng Yichen.

"Meaning if you stubbornly find another occurrence and enter a world linked to it, you might end up even weaker."

The Fire Dragon’s face read ’What the heck’, but as an intelligent being, it quickly caught on: "Could it also be possible to become stronger?"

"Ha, going down could align you more easily with the ceiling, while going up could indeed make you stronger, but that ’stronger’ might just be an average level in that other place," Zheng Yichen replied as he took out his smartphone, which lacked any signal. He gazed at the sky, considering that the world had developed modern technology; it seemed odd that there would be no signal in such a place.

A massive head loomed closer, and Zheng Yichen barely restrained himself from taking a shot. Seeing Zheng Yichen’s readiness to strike, the Fire Dragon, its scales cracked from the beating, hurriedly backed away, its weight shaking the ground and causing lava to flow from the fissured earth.

Zheng Yichen observed the lava flowing beneath the Fire Dragon’s feet. The dragon’s constitution and strength might have been reduced, but it retained certain innate abilities.

He might be able to beat the dragon after entering Burst Mode, but unlike the dragon, he couldn’t casually dip his feet in lava; if he tried, his feet would surely turn to charcoal.

"What is that?"

"A smartphone, you’ll come to understand it later. Actually, this world is far more fascinating than you might think."

"...I just want to go home," Fire Dragon Klakauska muttered gloomily. No matter how wonderful the world, it held no appeal for him; he longed for his lair.

In its own world, it had reigned at the top of the food chain, virtually unchallenged, but here, having faced an initial bout of ’provocation’ from weak Mortal Realm humans, it found itself swiftly confronted by someone far mightier, whom it couldn’t defeat—the true torment.

Half an hour later, a vehicle arrived at Zheng Yichen’s location. It wasn’t just an off-road vehicle, it had special modifications allowing it to traverse complex terrains. Ahn Seven, wearing a gas mask, stepped out from the vehicle.

She surveyed the traces of battle around her and the battered scales on the Fire Dragon, her expression contemplative behind the mask. Her informed personnel had reported that the fight had lasted just a few minutes.

Initially, they had feared Zheng Yichen was killed by the Fire Dragon, but a closer investigation confirmed that it was Zheng Yichen who had subdued the dragon.

Many scales on the Fire Dragon’s body were cracked from the hammering, with the scales on its head sustaining the most damage.

Meanwhile, Zheng Yichen appeared merely fatigued with some signs of burns, but no substantial injuries.

"An eye-opener indeed, the hunter’s world now has another top-tier Hunter," Ahn Seven’s voice emerged from the mask. Unlike Zheng Yichen, who could ignore the volcanic atmosphere, she could not.

The Ahn family had conducted extensive research into Environmental Adjustment. This dragon, in its original world, would certainly not be weak. Even weakened in this world, it still possessed the ability to fly and physically crush humans with ease.

A body spanning more than ten meters, no matter how weakened, wouldn’t be reduced to an incapacity to support its own weight. This was also a ’safeguard’ of Environmental Adjustment—the differences in creatures’ constitutions wouldn’t seem completely equivalent due to the adjustments.
