Chapter 282: Chapter 206: Tier Seven, 5 Mach, 100,000 Kilograms of Giant Power
For example, his "Giant Power" increased from 30,000 to 36,000 kilograms, and the top speed from "Divine Movement" went from 1.5 to 1.8 Mach. Consequently, the upgrades to 60,000 kilograms and 3 Mach, which would have originally cost 450,000 Achievement Points, now only took 360,000 Points, saving him 90,000 Points.
With a large surplus of Achievement Points remaining, Li Xiang made some careful calculations and upgraded his "Giant Power" and "Divine Movement Technique" again, ultimately reaching a strength of 100,000 kilograms and a top speed of 5 Mach.
This consumed another 600,000 Achievement Points, leaving him with just over 270,000.
’I can’t upgrade them anymore. I’ve reached my limit.’
Even if he had millions more Achievement Points, Li Xiang wouldn’t be able to upgrade "Giant Power" or "Divine Movement Technique" any further. There was a limiting factor: his Extraordinary Realm was too low. While his body’s Spiritual Power was immense, it was still insufficient to support greater strength and speed.
Still, this was more than good enough. Li Xiang was quite satisfied.
’5 Mach! This is actually 5 Mach! An astonishing 5 Mach!’
To put it in perspective, the main anti-aircraft missile of the American navy—the Standard Missile-2, carried by nearly all of its destroyers and cruisers—has a maximum speed of only 4 Mach.
Li Xiang’s maximum speed was 5 Mach, and he could maintain a cruising speed of 2.5 Mach without his heart rate spiking.
Meanwhile, America’s F-22 has a cruising speed of only 1.5 Mach and an afterburner speed of just 2.25 Mach.
Back when the F-22 first burst onto the scene, it dominated an era, and we could only come up with the tragic "eight-for-one" tactic. In fact, it wasn’t even certain if such a trade would succeed. Even now, the F-22 is still America’s most advanced fighter jet.
But its speed was nothing compared to Li Xiang’s.
And his 100,000 kilograms of Giant Power? Extraordinary Beings of the same tier, even those who had awakened the "Giant Power" Superpower, typically had a strength of only five or six thousand kilograms. Those who hadn’t awakened it might only have two or three thousand kilograms. And for the weaker ones who focused more on technique, they probably didn’t even have one or two thousand kilograms of strength.
Li Xiang’s one hundred thousand kilograms of Giant Power was simply monstrous.
A fully loaded F-22 has a maximum weight of 38 tons. Li Xiang could easily lift it and then throw it.
For one, he had used his system’s cheat-like functions to upgrade his Lifebound Superpower. For another, the sheer immensity of his Spiritual Power was unparalleled among Middle Stage Extraordinaries and rare even among the High Stage, enabling him to support 100,000 kilograms of Giant Power.
There were four reasons his Spiritual Power was so immense. First, his special Cultivation Technique excelled at accumulating Spiritual Power. Second, his own physique was a major factor—he was a "large container." Third, he had built it up with massive amounts of Spiritual Medicine. And fourth, his talent for cultivation was actually quite good; if not one in ten thousand, he was at least one in a thousand.
These four conditions were all indispensable.
As for Luo Feifei, she was probably the one-in-a-million or even one-in-ten-million type.
If Li Xiang’s cultivation talent included his special physique, he would also be one in ten million. It’s just that in his past life, he had no system cheat, no resources, and the Cultivation Technique he practiced progressed slowly, so his talent never showed.
Li Xiang gloated for a moment, then calmed down and reined in his pride. He had suddenly realized that freaking Spider-Man had about the same amount of strength, because Spider-Man could stop a speeding train.
Li Xiang figured he could do that now, too. ’But I might not be that much stronger than Spider-Man.’
’Alright, the work’s not done yet, so I’ve got to keep pushing! Let’s do this!’
After consuming a large amount of Spiritual Medicine to restore himself to peak condition, Li Xiang decided to scout around the Indonesian islands for a while. He wanted to see if he could run into any potential High-Tier Extraordinary Creatures.
Indonesia is an archipelago nation with an extremely vast territory, composed of approximately 17,508 islands of various sizes. Its east-west span is over 5,500 kilometers, even longer than China’s (over 5,200 kilometers).
Nearly half of its population is concentrated on Java Island, which is also home to the capital, Jakarta. The island itself is only 138,700 square kilometers, but its population density is as high as 1,045 people per square kilometer.
Indonesia has four islands larger than Java Island: New Guinea Island, Kalimantan Island, Sumatra Island, and Sulawesi Island.
Among the more than ten thousand islands, most are sparsely populated and overrun with wild beasts.
’It’s broad daylight. I can’t possibly return to my hotel in Singapore right now; it would attract too much attention. I might as well keep exploring the islands and head back after nightfall.’
Meanwhile, back at the hotel in Singapore, three young women—Zhao Xueqing, Yao Yao, and Lei Xiaohui—had come looking for Li Xiang. Yao Yao was particularly excited. She had finally managed to cultivate her first wisp of Spiritual Power and wanted to share the joyous news with him. But when she knocked, there was no answer, and his phone was unreachable. She was worried sick.
