Although Zhang Yanhang had previously accumulated four hundred fifty-one E-level Ant Powers, facing the formidable upgrade requirement of 59,049, it was merely a drop in the ocean, not even filling one percent of the progress. After dividing by nine and converting it to C-level Mystic Steed Power, it only equated to fifty, which was barely better than none at all, having it or not really didn't make much difference.

"This time, my Robust and Powerful's Strength Attribute has increased by three points again, taking the total bonus from twelve points to fifteen points. If I level up a few more times, a single Talent might be able to provide me with an upgrade equivalent to twenty-five Attribute points of a Rank."

Even that wouldn't need much, Zhang Yanhang figured that if he could boost Longbo's Power to the EX level, then he could definitely add more than twenty points to his Strength Attribute. If not for the high upgrade requirements of the Talent, the Attribute value increase from the Talent might even exceed the Attribute value increase from raising his Profession Level.

Because he had increased Attribute values by upgrading his Talent, Zhang Yanhang couldn't help but open his Attribute list and take a look.

[Strength: 75 (+3[-13])]

[Agility: 75 (+3[-3])]

[Constitution: 75 (+3[-3])]

[Intelligence: 75 (+3[-3])]

[Charm: 75 (+31[-17])]

"Previously, the Strength Attribute was only overflowing by ten points, and now after adding three more points, it has become an overflow of thirteen points. It's almost catching up to the overflow of seventeen points in the Charm attribute.

However, even though that's the case, the current overflow of thirteen points is already the limit for the Strength Attribute. After all, the XX-level Talent Longbo's Power can no longer be upgraded. Unless I could obtain some other talent that could increase Strength, the current situation of thirteen points overflow should be the limit of my Third Tier Status."

Zhang Yanhang was quite satisfied with his current Strength Attribute; even after removing the three points of Equipment bonus, there was still an overflow of ten points, which was enough for now. He had no immediate plans to further enhance it.

Of course, the main reason was that even if he wanted to upgrade, he couldn't. If he could obtain new Power system Talents, he would certainly welcome them.

"The extra attack effect of Longbo's Power has increased the Attack Power Bonus by 100% again, from the original 325% to 425%. From now on, my extra attack could become quadruple, and moreover, the probability of triggering also increased by 6%, from the initial 18% to 24%.

Previously, I almost needed six attacks to trigger an extra attack, but now the efficiency has greatly increased, reducing by two-thirds. It only requires four attacks to trigger an extra attack of 425% Attack Power, significantly enhancing my output capability.

At least, it allows me to have a higher chance of triggering an extra attack when using the All Four Elements are Void, which is indeed quite important."

In addition to the extra attack, Zhang Yanhang naturally also focused on the subsequent Double Strike. This time, the Attack bonus of Double Strike had increased again by 200%, from the original 650% to 850%, almost catching up to the multiplier of All Four Elements are Void.

But since All Four Elements are Void is a bonus, it's actually considered as a ten times attack, so currently, the Double Strike still has a certain gap, merely considered as eight times attack.

"And moreover, the chance of triggering Double Strike this time has also increased quite nicely by another 3%, from the original 9% to 12%.

And in practical terms, it has increased from 1.62% to 2.88%. Originally, it took sixty-two attacks to trigger a Double Strike, but now it only takes thirty-five attacks to trigger one, almost halving the number."

Such a degree of increase is not insignificant. For Zhang Yanhang, the practical effect of Double Strike had grown fiercely by a large margin, to the extent that he could even consider using 'All Four Elements are Void' to try and trigger Double Strike.

"The biggest increase this time was naturally Triple Strike. The chance to trigger Triple Strike increased only by 2%, from the original 6% to 8%, but the increased probability of extra attacks and Double Strike also benefited Triple Strike.

So speaking of practical trigger scenarios, the chance of Triple Strike has increased from just barely one in a thousand to 2.304‰. Previously, a thousand attacks might not have triggered a Triple Strike, but now it could be triggered once in about four hundred attacks, something I never imagined possible—my little wish has actually been fulfilled."

Previously, Zhang Yanhang had only hoped that the trigger chance for Triple Strike could be improved to happen within a thousand strikes. However, unexpectedly, it had improved to within five hundred strikes. This significant improvement finally gave Triple Strike some practical value in combat, at least ensuring it wouldn't embarrassingly fail to trigger even once in a whole magazine.

"Moreover, the attack multiplier of Triple Strike has once again grown by 300%, from the original 975% to 1275%. That's almost equivalent to thirteen times the attack power. If it can be triggered during the use of 'All Four Elements are Void', adding the tenfold attack of that skill, could it not result in 130 times the damage?"

But Zhang Yanhang knew that such thoughts were merely wishful thinking. After all, the number of times he had used 'All Four Elements are Void' to date was nowhere near four hundred, probably not even forty. To trigger Triple Strike with such a low probability was something that could only be dreamed of in his sleep. Under normal circumstances, he could at most only trigger the most common extra attacks and Double Strike.

"This time, the Strength Effect of 'Possessing Strength in Three Aspects' from Talent Three has increased by another 60%, raising the total bonus from the original 205% to 265%. It seems that compared to equipment, talents indeed provide a greater increase in bonuses."

After checking the Talent Effect of Longbo's Power, Zhang Yanhang immediately began to test his current strength. He pulled out seven hundred tons of Crimson Iron Ore from his Waist Bag and placed it on his right hand. Unexpectedly, even with seven hundred tons, he still felt some capacity to spare, so he tentatively added another ten tons.

Even though he had now placed seven hundred and ten tons of Crimson Iron Ore on his right hand, he still felt a surplus, so he quickly added a few more smaller pieces of Crimson Iron Ore. Finally, at seven hundred and twenty-one tons, he felt that the surplus had disappeared.

"Originally, my one-handed strength was around 652 tons, but now it has increased to 721 tons, almost adding another 69 tons of strength, which is an increase of four times the strength of my Second Tier Period."

Previously, Zhang Yanhang's one-handed strength was roughly 1.3 million jins, but now it had increased to 1.44 million jins, taking another significant step towards the minor goal of 1.5 million jins for one hand.

Afterward, just by slightly increasing the Strength Effect Bonus, such as by improving the Fusion Times of the Crimson Marrow Flame Demon Armor, he should be able to achieve that.

"With my current strength, if I add a bit of Spiritual Energy, then I could reach 2.88 million jins of strength. As for the strength with both hands, it could reach 7.2 million jins. Although that's a massive increase, it's still far from the dream of reaching ten million jins of strength in the Mystical World."

Using the benchmark of everyone eating one jin of raw rice per day, the amount of rice Zhang Yanhang could lift with both hands would suffice for 7.2 million people for a day, enough to supply more than a third of Qin Island City's population with meals. Even if distributed, it would be enough to feed twenty thousand people for an entire year.

In other words, if he were to eat it himself, he could eat for twenty thousand years, enduring until the seas dry up and the stones rot, from the Stone Age all the way to the twenty-first century.

After testing his strength, Zhang Yanhang quickly began to tally up other gains, which were the gains from equipment. First of all, there were the Crimson Marrow Ghost Masks contributed by the Crimson Iron Destruction Ants—this time, he managed to open a total of 846 Crimson Marrow Ghost Masks.

Zhang Yanhang, wearing two Light Golden Quality Crimson Marrow Ghost Masks +6 on his face, and with the surplus Crimson Marrow Ghost Masks in hand, had a total equivalent to 241 ordinary Crimson Marrow Ghost Masks. Adding the 846 new Crimson Marrow Ghost Masks he acquired this time made a grand total of 1087 Crimson Marrow Ghost Masks.

"Currently, I have already crafted two Golden Quality Crimson Marrow Ghost Masks +7. To forge another two new Golden Quality Crimson Marrow Ghost Masks +7 to wear on my other two heads, I need 1024 ordinary Crimson Marrow Ghost Masks, and this time, I have just enough.

Luckily it's just enough; otherwise, I wouldn't have anywhere else to gather them, especially since I have already killed all the Crimson Iron Destruction Ants in the Large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Tarano."

After counting the Crimson Marrow Ghost Masks that he just opened and those in his waist bag, Zhang Yanhang quickly took off the two fully-scored Light Golden Quality Crimson Marrow Ghost Masks +6 from his face, placed them with the other ordinary Crimson Marrow Ghost Masks, and immediately activated the Alchemy Array to begin the fusion.

Since he had previously experimented with multiple fusions, Zhang Yanhang also opted to fuse two Crimson Marrow Ghost Masks +7 at the same time.

Approximately forty minutes later, Zhang Yanhang finally completed this round of fusion, and carefully examined the properties of the Golden Quality Crimson Marrow Ghost Mask +7, which was shimmering with golden light in front of him.

[Crimson Marrow Ghost Mask +7]

[Quality: Golden]

[Type: Equipment]

[Origin: Ashen World, Crimson Iron Ore Vein, Large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Tarano, Zhang Yanhang.]

[Durability: 65/65]

[Defensive Power: 51]

[Additional Attributes: Critical Strike Rate +32% (+8%).]

[Usage Requirements: Agility 55 points.]

[Score: 390 (Golden items score ranges from 351 to 440.)]

[Introduction: After retreating deep into the mountains, I suddenly feel it's truly more free here. Not only can I freely gather forging materials, but no one comes to bother me. With the tight security outside, I think it's better to stay inside the Crimson Iron Ore Vein and peacefully refine my forging skills...]

"The equipment from this fusion truly matches the originals, undeniably so, I am always so precise and accurate; each new Crimson Marrow Ghost Mask +7 has an additional 8% Critical Strike Rate compared to the original Crimson Marrow Ghost Masks +6, adding up to a total of 16% Critical Strike Rate.

Originally, my Critical Strike Rate was 142.5%, and now it has increased to 158.5%. This overflow part is the equivalent of adding another 16% Critical Strike Damage Bonus, giving a total overflow of 58.5% Critical Strike Damage Bonus, which is quite good, especially considering that Light Golden Quality Crimson Marrow Ghost Claws +5 can only provide a 40% Critical Strike Damage Bonus."

After checking the Attribute list of the Crimson Marrow Ghost Masks +7, Zhang Yanhang quickly put the two Golden Quality Crimson Marrow Ghost Masks +7 back onto the two vacant faces.

Having dealt with the Crimson Marrow Ghost Masks, Zhang Yanhang immediately proceeded to inventory other Equipment gains, and next were the Crimson Marrow Ghost Claws obtained from the Crimson Iron Flame Ants, from which he had opened a total of 691 Crimson Marrow Ghost Claws.

Including the ones already equipped on his hands, Zhang Yanhang initially had eleven Crimson Marrow Ghost Claws +5, one Crimson Marrow Ghost Claw +3 and one Crimson Marrow Ghost Claw +1, totaling 362 ordinary Crimson Marrow Ghost Claws, and adding the ones he just opened makes a total of 1053 Crimson Marrow Ghost Claws.

"Since the Crimson Marrow Ghost Claws +5 that I previously fused already represents the limit of fusion for Crimson Marrow Ghost Claws, to breakthrough this limit and fuse four Golden Quality Crimson Marrow Ghost Claws +6, I need to fuse another 21 Crimson Marrow Ghost Claws +5. Fusing four simultaneously is a big project."

Zhang Yanhang sighed quietly, then took off all the Crimson Marrow Ghost Claws in his hand, threw them into the Alchemy Array, and started the Alchemy.

After several rounds of fusion, Zhang Yanhang had spent about forty to fifty minutes and finally managed to complete this fusion successfully; the ultimate breakthrough was fast, fusing four together took only fifteen minutes. The initial fusion phase was indeed too laborious due to the sheer quantity.

Although it was his first time simultaneously breaking the limits for four pieces of equipment in the fusion process, with his prior experience in refining refined Crimson Marrow, the overall process went smoothly.

Looking at the freshly forged Golden Quality Crimson Marrow Ghost Claw +6, shimmering with golden light, Zhang Yanhang immediately began checking its Attribute list.

[Crimson Marrow Ghost Claw +6]

[Quality: Golden]

[Type: Equipment]

[Origin: Ashen World, Crimson Iron Ore Vein, Large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Tarano, Zhang Yanhang.]

[Durability: 65/65]

[Defensive Power: 45]

[Additional Attributes: Critical Strike Damage +50% (+10%).]

[Usage Requirements: Agility 55 points.]

[Score: 380 (Golden items score ranges from 351 to 440.)]

[Introduction: After refining my skills in the deep mountains for a while, the Nameless Blacksmith gradually began feeling a bit bored. Collecting materials in the morning, forging items in the afternoon, and summarizing experiences at night, although indeed enriching and rapidly improving his forging skills, it really was quite boring...]
