Chapter 52 Attribute Enhancement! Armament Haki Upgraded!
"The taste is alright, like lemonade..."
Horn took out the enhancer and found that it looked like a bottle of bright red oral liquid.
Without thinking much, I unscrewed the cap, tilted my head back, and drank it down. Instantly, a sweet and sour taste spread across my taste buds.
However, before he could even savor the moment, his muscles suddenly tensed, and waves of burning sensation swept through his entire body, causing his body temperature to rise. He felt an urge to tear off all his clothes and jump into an ice cellar to cool down.
After this feeling lasted for several tens of seconds, he suddenly felt as if he had fallen into a nest of bullet ants, his muscles feeling as if they were being torn apart by countless ants, injecting the neurotoxins in his mouth into his body, making his pores stand on end.
"Ugh..."
A heart-wrenching scream escaped his lips as he rolled around on the sofa, his face contorted in agony.
This was a pain that covered his entire bone marrow and all his nerves, and then it felt as if countless razors were shaving away every inch of his flesh!
Horn didn't know how much time had passed. Just when he thought it was about to end, the intense pain suddenly started in his limbs, flowed up his torso, and rushed straight to his brain!
Instantly, it felt as if his head had been struck by lightning, and his head was throbbing with pain!
However, just as he was about to reach his limit, the excruciating pain that covered every cell, bone, and nerve in his body finally began to recede like a tide, just as it had always done when using skill books and enhancement agents.
And as the pain disappeared, an indescribable sense of exhilaration welled up from the depths of the soul.
"Hoo-hoo!"
Horn felt a sudden sense of relief wash over him and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Although it's said there are no side effects, the enhancement process is absolutely deadly."
He shook his head with a wry smile, feeling as if he had just escaped death.
It almost cost him half his life!
Fortunately, after the pain subsided, a feeling of exhilaration followed, which made up for the psychological trauma. Otherwise, he would have developed PTSD if he ever saw such enhancers again.
"Wait, why does it smell so bad?"
Just as he calmed himself down and was about to open the attribute panel to check, a foul stench suddenly entered his nostrils, choking him and almost bringing tears to his eyes.
He looked down and realized that the recent enhancement had expelled the filth from his body, which mixed with cold sweat, so it would be strange if it didn't smell bad.
Without hesitation, he got up, went upstairs, rushed into the bathroom, quickly took a shower, and changed his clothes.
Half an hour later, at the second basement level parking lot.
The luxury cars that were originally parked here have been moved by him, leaving the huge parking lot empty.
Besides him, there were only twenty Shadow Sword drones that had transformed into robot forms.
Looking at their hands, they are also operating automatic tennis ball launchers used for testing.
Of course, these are not ordinary automatic tennis ball launchers, but rather improved versions that have achieved an astonishing speed in both the speed of the serve and the initial velocity of the ball. Even with his physical abilities, being hit by the ball would be quite painful.
"Let's take a look at the attribute panel first."
Standing in the center of the twenty Shadow Sword drones, Horn didn't rush to start testing; instead, he opened the attribute panel first.
[Attribute Panel]
Name: Hornstark Strength: 215
Agility: 212
Spirit: 215
Physical fitness: 220
Note: The median human attribute value is 10.
Skills: [Master-level Mixed Martial Arts Techniques], [Master-level Firearms Proficiency], [Observation Haki: Intermediate], [Armament Haki: Intermediate], [Naval Six Powers], [Life Return], [Miniature Arc Reactor Manufacturing Technology], [Mark Armor Manufacturing Technology], [Strike Freedom Gundam Manufacturing Technology].
Items: [E-grade Tactical Tang Sword], [Space Ring], [Basic Constitution Enhancer] x2, [Adamantium] 1 piece, [Vibranium] 1 piece, [Thor's Hammer Fragment] 1 piece.
Check-in points: 1000 points "I remember when I checked last time, my strength was 104, agility was 102, spirit was 102, and physique was 105. That is to say, in addition to the 100 points added by the intermediate physique enhancement potion, each of the four attributes of strength, agility, spirit, and physique has been increased by more than 10 points."
Horn stared at the attribute panel, recalling the data from the last time he checked it, and was surprised to find that in addition to the increase brought by the intermediate physique enhancement agent, the four dimensions actually had an additional increase, especially physique, which increased by an extra 15 points in one go!
Based on previous tests, he knew that physical fitness could be improved not only through external aids but also through exercise, although this method was very slow and difficult.
Especially after reaching a certain level, you will hit the upper limit and will be unable to improve any further.
He never expected that he would improve so much in one go!
Including the 100-point boost from the [Intermediate Physique Enhancer], his physical attributes were an astonishing 21 times that of an ordinary person!
With such physical attributes, even without using the Six Styles of the Navy, Horn was confident that the speed he could unleash would be completely beyond the reach of the naked eye.
Next, let's look at what he's most interested in: [Observation Haki].
"Still at the intermediate level? Looks like there's still a long way to go before I can advance to the advanced level."
Horn glanced at its level, paused for a moment but wasn't surprised.
After all, looking at the entire anime, there aren't many people who can reach an advanced level in Observation Haki.
Understanding this, he didn't dwell on it. He then controlled his Observation Haki and spread it outwards. In an instant, everything around him gradually became clear in his mind, until it stopped at a distance of more than 400 meters.
"The coverage area has increased quite a bit, by more than 200 meters, more than doubling."
Horn nodded in satisfaction. Having achieved his goal, he withdrew his domineering aura, limiting it to a range of about 100 meters around him as a warning.
"Let's look at Armament Haki again—oh? It's improved to intermediate level?"
His eyes lit up, and he immediately manipulated Armament Haki to wrap around his arms as if it were his own arm.
At this moment, he clearly felt that not only had the range of the domineering aura increased, but the defensive power had also improved significantly.
As for the specific extent of the improvement, it needs to be tested through the Shadow Sword drone. The improvement of the [Naval Six Styles] can only be determined through actual combat.
"Tia, prepare to begin the first round of testing. The initial gear setting is third gear."
He deactivated his Armament Haki and issued a command to Tia, who was controlling the Shadow Sword drone.
The test gears are divided into ten levels according to his settings. Each additional level will not only increase the automatic launch of the tennis ball, but also increase the launch speed and initial velocity of the tennis ball.
For example, the first gear has two machines, with a firing rate of 2 per second and an initial velocity of 200 meters per second; the second gear has four machines, with a firing rate of 4 per second and an initial velocity of 400 meters per second; and the third gear has six machines, with a firing rate of 6 per second and an initial velocity of 600 meters per second.
The highest level, the tenth gear, means that twenty machines operate simultaneously, with each machine firing twenty per second, and the initial velocity reaching an astonishing 2000 meters per second!
The initial velocity of the Barrett bullet was only around 900 meters per second.
