Chapter 184: Chapter 155: Surely the Big Boss Won’t Be Defeated, Right?_2

This involves another kind of expressiveness, one’s power performance coefficient, which is essentially a passive bonus.

Take the red dragon that Zheng Yichen fought, for instance; its body was very robust. If it had been an ordinary person, they would have been hammered to death by Zheng Yichen’s Burst Mode long ago, but the dragon only had some scales blown off and was otherwise pretty much unscathed.

This is because the dragon’s physical constitution coefficient is extremely high. On the same fundamental upper limit, it has a stronger extent of basic attribute performance, which is equivalent to having a natural, high-percentage health bar and defense bonus...

Active skills, passive skills gained from certain active skills, and the extra attribute performance coefficients brought about by a naturally high physique after reaching a certain limit can be considered to touch the true limits of a world.

After reading this, Zheng Yichen felt overwhelmed. It’s one thing to research this in a game, but in real life too? Well, it seems that this needs to be studied indeed. If you play poorly in a game, you can just quit, but what can you do if you can’t perform well in real life?

Zheng Yichen’s conclusion after reading was that it’s basically impossible to max out all these factors. It’s not possible without being less than human; there will always be some flaws in some aspect.

For example, the fire dragon, which has a high physical strength and a very high coefficient for the performance of its base physique, struggles to master some skills that can be used for bursts of power. For instance, the martial arts of the Blood Asura and the Blood Combustion Transform to Origin that Zheng Yichen learned are hard for it to grasp because it’s not human and lacks the proper physical conditions to learn them.

Similarly, as a human, one can try to improve one’s base attribute performance coefficient, but it’s tough to reach the degree of large creatures.

No matter how much a normal person improves, once their defense is breached, if a one-meter sword penetrates their body and hits a vital point, they would suffer significant damage. In contrast, for a creature with a huge physique, such a stab would feel like... uh, something stuck in the flesh of the hair?

Some differences can be compensated for, but others require strict conditions to be met. It’s not that they can’t be overcome, but it would cost much more. What others could easily achieve because of predefined conditions, one might need to pay ten or a hundred times more effort to reach the same level.

Of course, reaching such a state is still formidable. Just think, an ant receiving the strength and physique of a standard adult human, all that power condensed into an ant’s body. The ant could easily tear through human skin and pull at the organs, and attacks like flyswatters and hammers would have a hard time affecting that ant...

Invincible.

This kind of scene typically occurs when some game characters face entities hundreds of times larger than themselves.

Now, Zheng Yichen keeps trying to improve his state with Blood Combustion Transform to Origin and Return to Origin, striving to reach the world’s attribute cap of 255. However, it’s clear that such improvement doesn’t involve spells; after Return to Origin, no matter how agitated he feels, the intensity of the wind he generates is only slightly enhanced.

It has to do with Environmental Adjustment, and not much with him.

He doesn’t expect this power to bring any extra help; the key to wiping out small monsters is still Burst Mode. Whether Burst Mode should be considered an ability to improve the body’s attribute performance coefficient or something else is still unclear to Zheng Yichen, but he knows this ability lets him gradually break through limits.

"Should I seize this opportunity well?" Qi Xiangyun felt the changes in her Inner Qi and glanced at the monsters around her. These creatures couldn’t even get close; as soon as they tried, they were shredded by the blood-colored winds. Though in such an environment, they could unleash stronger attacks.

But Zheng Yichen accurately avoided those attacks.

As she tried to further feel the changes in her Inner Qi, attempting to truly liquefy it, the ground quivered slightly, and a giant hand emerged from the earth.

Zheng Yichen looked at the hand with an expression of not being surprised. He had encountered this type of monster made of a massive accumulation of flesh and blood before.

Encountering something new here isn’t surprising, but this one looked even more massive. The enormous hand had barely stretched out when it couldn’t support its own weight and snapped, crashing onto the ground. Some of the aberrant creatures that couldn’t avoid it in time were dragged into it, and then enveloped by the melting flesh and blood, becoming part of that large hand.

Zheng Yichen twirled the black spear in his hand, and a ghostly green flame sprouted forth. With a flick, the flame spread along the ground, directly setting the giant hand ablaze.

In the blink of an eye, the entire massive hand, along with half the bodies of the piled-up monsters, burst into flames.

"Not this again!" A Boundary Breaker hiding in the shadows clenched his teeth fiercely as he watched the scene unfold. Last time, the meat mountain he had cultivated was forced to self-destruct by Zheng Yichen’s fire. It was the same with this one here.

What was different, however, was that this meat mountain had grown stronger due to the influence of Environmental Adjustment, but it still couldn’t withstand that kind of flame. The influence of Environmental Adjustment had also enhanced the quality of that ghostly green flame, which now spread like a sea of fire.

It resembled what had been seen before, the flame that Zheng Yichen used to ignite slowly, but now, just a casual strike was enough to set a part of the meat mountain’s body on fire.

"Look on the bright side, it’s not the first time." Next to the heavily bandaged Boundary Breaker, his pale-faced colleague advised.

Proxies arranged by Dusk are usually like this: either very versatile, able to upset powerful figures, or extremely restraining to certain individuals or the majority. Not everything is absolute though.

As experiences accumulate from multiple encounters, their side had suffered numerous upsets. When the high and mighty fell, they were gone, and it was likewise for the Proxies. After a Proxy went down, they were gone too. It was a mutual give-and-take, with Dusk only arranging the assignments, and how to complete the mission was the Proxy’s concern. Proxies, after all, are human.

Just like Zheng Yichen is displaying now, he even had three burdens with him, something only a human could manage. In contrast, a robot prioritizing the mission as utmost important would ignore the suffering victims along the way, deeming them as hindrances to the success rate of the mission completion—a rational robot would see those people only as affecting the task.

"This Proxy has also learned the martial arts of the Battle Maniac Asura," the bandaged Boundary Breaker observed, staring at the blood-covered black spear in Zheng Yichen’s hand, which made the meat mountain creature block their way to self-destruct.

Once fully ignited, it would affect the power of the self-destruction.

If it didn’t self-destruct, the result would still be its complete incineration by the flame released by Zheng Yichen. And when the meat mountain was injured, the violent wind would sweep up the blood that flowed from its surface and converge towards Zheng Yichen, affecting his maneuvering with their self-destruction.

The earth-shattering blood explosion cleared out everything nearby. Drawing from his previous experience, Zheng Yichen had kept a good distance after setting the fire to avoid getting splattered with blood from an explosion.

"Damn!" The bandaged Boundary Breaker watched in shock as the impact of the explosion had yet to reach Zheng Yichen, and was forcefully cleaved through by a strike from him.

The blood red on the spear erupted as he swung the weapon, creating a breach in the circular shockwave with a crimson cleave. The surroundings were devastated by the explosion, but Zheng Yichen’s side remained tranquil, forming a sharply angled, intact fan-shaped zone.

"Bloody hell, this Proxy... we wouldn’t really have a bigwig taken down on our side, would we?" The bandaged Boundary Breaker couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He could understand the fire, with the ghostly green flame being greatly restraining to life, likely something akin to Netherfire or Hellfire. Encountering such a flame was simply bad luck.

The amassed meat mountain was nothing but a huge mutated organism, not an Undead creature. Ignited by a flame capable of burning life force, it could only wait for death if it couldn’t extinguish the flame.

But that blood blade seemed utterly untricksy.
