Chapter 62: The Eternal Garden. Part-3.
[Rolling_Crocodile: I am totally convinced now, our great tank god will be the first person to break the seven-day curse and become the first person to survive more than seven days in this horror game!!]
[Blue_Dinosaur: Seven days? I feel that our great sect master is going to dominate this horror game world with his meat-shield-like body!!]
[Invincible_Bob: Anchor was already so tanky before awakening mana... Now that he has supernatural powers like Goddess Xinran, he’s gonna be even more tanky and undefeatable! Enemies will vomit blood just looking at his health bar!!]
[Jumping_Koala: Oh great Tank God, I kneel down to you; you are the only light of shining hope in this world; you are our protector and our leader~]
[Liban_Boqor: Hah! You were the ones who were doubting the anchor; I already had firm belief in him from the start! All hail the mighty Tank God!!]
[Daniel_The_Great: The shining muscles of the great tank god enlighten our path; we no longer need to be afraid of this horror game world. Our mighty tank god will conquer it all for us!! All hail the great Tank God!!]
[Abandoned_shoe: With how difficult finding water was, I thought our great tank god would have to face many troubles in the future just to barely survive, but it seems I was wrong.
Our almighty tank god is not the one who’s stuck inside that horror game; it’s the eldritch monstrosities that are stuck inside of it with him instead!]
[Rolling_Crocodile: Hahahah!! Well said! Our almighty tank god is more scary than those monsters! Monster teeth shatter trying to bite him, giants break their wrists trying to punch him, and bodies shatter just at his touch!
And beautiful women like Goddess Xinran are clamoring to eat him every day! He’s indeed the great tank god with no equals!!]
[Invincible_Bob: Yeah, imagine using your most powerful attacks only for them to do literally zero damage to the anchor; hahaha, the enemies are in for huge trouble if they dare to go against him!!]
...
’These guys are really too good at making a joke out of anything; I can’t even tell if they are praising me or are just laughing at the fact that I have become even more of a meat shield.’
Zephyr shook his head and ignored the comment section and read through the entire cloud-step movement art technique and memorized its entire content.
With his enhanced physique, his mind was now even stronger, and his learning speed was already many times more powerful than even those gifted talents that often rank high in international competitions!
With a powerful photographic memory and a massive mental capacity, Zephyr easily managed to learn and store all the information from the skill book into his mind in just about half an hour!
[Ding! Congratulations! You have learned a new skill, ’Cloud-Step! (E-)’]
He had only just read through the contents of the book and hadn’t even practiced that technique, and yet his skill level had already reached rank ’E-’, which just showed how powerful his mental learning capabilities were!
’I have really become quite strong after awakening mana and drinking the ’Elixir’...’

[Evaluation: For a person with a brain filled with muscles to possess elemental affinities is like an elephant wearing a suit; it is comical and funny, not cool.]
’I am cool, okay! It’s your non-existent eyes that can’t see my greatness, you rude f*cker! Ugh...’
Despite the fact that everyone else was praising him for his power, the system was still just as rude as ever and still couldn’t bother to give him any words of praise at all!
’D*mn... My health points have more than tripled from what they used to be before mana awakening and drinking the elixir...’
’Now, even if I just stand still and let Xinran punch me all day long, she will likely still not be able to put a dent in my thick skin!!’
Increasing HP wasn’t just beneficial for making him more tanky; it would increase his ability to soak up damage and gain even more energy from taking hits.
In other words, by using his indestructible body’s traits, whenever he got hit with a powerful attack, he would absorb even more energy now and then and could use it to recover even more HP at a faster rate with the help of mana!
He was not only tanky, but he also had super regeneration, super defense, and super energy regeneration all stacked up together at the same time!
’Maybe... I can even tank those photon worms head on from now on...’
Before having mana and thunder affinity, Zephyr was indeed afraid of being hit by those laser beam attacks, but now, not only does he have mana to defend and an increased defense capability,
He also had thunder affinity and space affinity that can counter those laser beams head-on!
From now on, he no longer needed to be afraid of the laser beam bombardment, and he could just lie down on the ash desert and let the laser beams massage his body!
’I am kind of eager to try it now, but I need to hold my excitement down for now...’
Putting the skill book in his storage ring, Zephyr got up and started to look around for the mining cart that carried it; he needed to find the torch.
Zephyr could see a massive cauldron located far away on a big hill, which was likely the so-called ’Cauldron of Poisons’ mentioned at the start of the trial.
Until the flame was delivered to that cauldron, the trial wouldn’t be considered over.
