Chapter 875: 273. Strength Surges Dramatically_2
Noland Lee followed the optimal solution given by Nolin, stepped into the compartment of Underground Layer 2, and began to practice the “Strong Metal Fusion” Meditation Method.
Half an hour later.

With abundant Energy Points and gold coins available, practicing the “Strong Metal Fusion” Meditation Method was the most relaxing and enjoyable task.
If this Meditation Method could be practiced beyond level 180, Noland Lee would have wished to push it to the level of Ten Rings (level 300).
The significant increase in Attribute Values brought an unparalleled feedback from his body.
Noland Lee now had to consciously control his strength in everything he did.
At this time, the Body Forging Technique, specifically designed for enhancing body coordination and control of strength, displayed its true value.
By continuously practicing the Body Forging Technique, one could completely acclimate to one’s body strength.
After practicing the “Strong Metal Fusion” Meditation Method, Noland Lee did not leave the compartment immediately.
He stood in the Hidden Chamber illuminated by Magic Wall Lamps, barefoot on the soft, resilient Magic Floor, practicing the Forging Body Movement of the Calm Knight.
With every punch, kick, and twist of his hips, the sound of wind whooshed through the enclosed compartment.
Just a straight punch or a left front kick could result in a crackling sound like firecrackers exploding.
When Noland Lee practiced the Forging Body Movement, he left toe prints on the Magic Floor just by exerting a bit of force with the tips of his toes.
The footprints were deep into the Floor’s surface, with clear patterns, as if they had been carefully carved by a craftsman.
By the time Noland Lee finished a set of Body Forging Movements, the dark brown Floor was filled with dense footprints.
Luckily, the Magic Floor had the feature of “automatic repair,” otherwise Noland Lee would have been troubled by the numerous toe prints on it.
“Just how strong am I now?”
Noland Lee gazed at the slowly disappearing toe prints, scratched his head, and pondered:
“180 points of ‘Strength’ and ‘Tenacity,’ what exactly do they correspond to in terms of physical destructive power and body toughness? I need to test this specifically, so I won’t be caught off guard when it comes to hand-to-hand combat.”
Noland Lee rummaged through his Magic Pouch and took out a Magic Target to place against the wall.
He stood in front of the Magic Target, gathered strength briefly, and used one-tenth of his power to drive a straight punch at the target.
“Bang!” noveldrama
The punch left a noticeable dent on the target.
The Magic Target shook slightly, and a row of magical Characters appeared:
“Kinetic Energy Strength: 180 points.”
180 points…
Aiming at the Magic Target and pulling the trigger of the Heavy Revolver, bullet fired at close range, the Characters that emerged read “Kinetic Energy Strength: 1 point.”
The punch Noland Lee threw just now used only one-tenth of his strength.
That meant his full-force punch could generate a magical-side Kinetic Energy Strength of about 1800 points, which was equivalent to 1800 Heavy Revolvers firing at once.
Was the power from 180 points of “Strength” strong?
Yes.
Very strong.
Exceptionally strong.
1800 points of Kinetic Energy Strength!
This was Kinetic Energy we are talking about!
Its actual lethality was not as simple as the literal 1800 points of energy strength but was also inseparably linked to the surface area of contact, the frequency and angle of the punch.
A thought struck Noland Lee, and he took out a Short Knife from his Magic Pouch that he had brought from Union City.
Heheld the Dagger, and swiped a curved slash at the Magic Target.
“Sssst—”
The Magic Target, previously unharmed by the 100-level “Death Two Finger,” shattered like a block of tofu when faced with a Dagger driven by 1800 points of Kinetic Energy Strength!
The Magic Target split open!
It was cleaved in half with a smooth, even cut…
Now look at the Short Knife.
The blade that was originally gleaming with cold light was now rolled, twisted, deformed—as if it had been roasted over fire with its warm edge felt upon touch.
Pleased with the result, Noland Lee hummed satisfactorily:
“Hmm, very good. I’ll have to get Selena to forge a Magic Treasure Sword for me. With a handy magic edged weapon, once I activate the force field of the Medium Soul Stasis Crystal, my combat power will skyrocket.”
Noland Lee put away the Short Knife and tore a “Repair Scroll” to fix the Magic Target.
“Compared to the ‘Strength’ attribute, how effective is the substantial increase in the ‘Tenacity’ attribute? Let’s test it out.”
Noland Lee pointed his finger and cast the “Death Two Finger” spell at various levels at the Magic Target.
The Death Energy strength of “Death Two Finger” ranged from 17 points at Level 10 to over 1400 points at Level 100.
Noland Lee turned his fingertips toward his own left arm and cast “Death Two Finger.”
The Level 10 “Death Two Finger” appeared as two slender black rays.
Erupting from Noland’s fingertips, they blasted two patches of black sparks upon his arm.
A tingling sensation like a mosquito bite emanated from where the black sparks appeared.
[System Message:]
[You have been hit by your own attack.]
[The “Death Two Finger (Level 10)” has caused extremely minor Death Energy damage to you.]
Noland Lee touched his left arm and wiped away the black marks on his skin.
“First-level Offensive Spells can no longer cause effective damage to me.”
