Chapter 414: The Limits of Muscle Reinforcement
Slowly analyzing the information about the "Extraordinary Feat - Reinforced Muscles," Matthew explained the surgical modifications to Beelzebub and Elio.
Hearing that the entire plan had been underway for nearly half a year, Beelzebub and Elio were astonished.
They suspected that the special methods for training various feats were likely the product of similar plans.
Observing the differently shaped experimental subjects and understanding the meaning behind each surgery, Beelzebub and Elio grew even more expectant.
Matthew held nothing back and directly clarified:
The surgeries were incredibly potent, but each required certain conditions to be met.
Moreover, it was still unclear whether the enhancements would impact overall strength after the procedures.
Therefore, the experimental subjects were temporarily limited to those whose age and potential had stabilized.
Both of them felt a mix of excitement and inexplicable anticipation.
If their strength were sufficient, undergoing surgical modifications would undoubtedly propel them to greater heights.
Allowing them time to process, Matthew spent over an hour, burning around 2,000 Destiny Points to obtain all the information he needed.
"Extraordinary Feat - Reinforced Muscles LV1: Strength +2, Agility +1, Physical Damage Reduction 10%, Attack Accuracy +10%."
These straightforward attributes represented extraordinary practicality.
The valuable attributes went without saying.
The inherent damage reduction was a blessing for close combat.
The 10% attack accuracy boost was the most powerful aspect of this feat.
This attribute wasn't limited to melee attacks!
This explained the incredible strength of the black orc.
It was no wonder that Grigg, a natural talent who had developed his orc abilities to an exceptional level, possessed such overwhelming combat power.
Moreover, it was only after battling Grigg that Matthew sensed—
The formidable Ironhide Grigg had only revealed the tip of the iceberg.
His terrifying ability to resist dragon breath,
His frighteningly powerful explosive strength techniques,
His sharp intuition for detecting danger.
Matthew believed Ironhide Grigg likely possessed more than one legendary feat, with countless extraordinary feats as well.
Drawing his scattered thoughts together, Matthew calmly studied the unconscious black orc and glanced at the eager Yaya:
"I'll share all the attributes and training methods for the Extraordinary Feat with you."
"You'll oversee their training and modifications to ensure this ability manifests in them."
Hearing this, Beelzebub and Elio felt an inexplicable tension in their hearts, only to hear Yaya exclaim with excitement.
She turned her head with a mischievous grin, her gaze full of ill intent as she eyed the orc and troll test subjects nearby.
Over the next ten days—
Beelzebub and Elio assisted Yaya in carrying out the "training."
They occasionally peeked at Matthew's methods, adding their own ideas while imitating him in a crude manner.
Thanks to the trolls' robust regenerative abilities and the orcs' toughness, the test subjects survived despite the pain.
Of course, this was largely because the batch of test subjects Yaya was working with had already undergone the first and second surgeries.
Their combat capabilities aside, their vitality had been significantly enhanced, providing Yaya and her team with ample room for trial and error.
However, their methods lacked refinement and Matthew's precise data-driven approach, so causing some pain was inevitable.
The initially defiant and stubborn black orc "willingly" cooperated by the fifth day.
Matthew's workload was heavy but became much easier in some ways.
After all, he only needed to glance at Yaya's experimental results to grasp the entire picture.
His research on the "Extraordinary Feat - Reinforced Muscles," combined with information from the Truth Organization and Bloodmoon City, as well as the black orc's "willing cooperation," yielded remarkable results.
The breakthrough lay in the muscle reinforcement modification process!
Even among Extraordinary Feats, there were strong and weak variations.
Reinforced Muscles proved excellent, with vast potential for improvement in Matthew's eyes.
After all, muscles, as one of the strongest and most critical force-exerting organs, spanned the entire body and were nearly irreplaceable.
The strength, density, and energy-bearing capacity of muscles—each aspect was profoundly intricate.
However, Matthew wasn't striving for immediate mastery.
He simply aimed to direct muscle development toward his envisioned goals.
With the target and direction clear, the next step was to burn Destiny Points.
Matthew had the black orc improve the level of "Reinforced Muscles" while meticulously comparing differences between advanced feats.
Simultaneously, he had trolls and orcs who mastered LV5 Advanced Muscle Feats train in different ways to work toward the "Extraordinary Feat" level.
The goal was to "induce" even stronger extraordinary muscle feats through this method.
For other flesh-crafting spellcasters, such experiments were a lengthy process with highly uncertain results.
For Matthew, who invested Destiny Points, this process saved time and resources.
Matthew spent approximately one million Destiny Points to identify feasible directions and methods.
Then, he relentlessly pushed the physical limits of 300 orcs and trolls, unlocking their potential.
Through repeated breakthroughs, they inched toward the extraordinary realm.
Whenever they encountered bottlenecks, Matthew used Destiny Points to break through.
Once a breakthrough was achieved, he would repeat the process of saving Destiny Points while pushing the subjects further.
Thanks to this approach, the precious Destiny Points were used only at critical junctures.
Matthew's experiments advanced at an astonishing pace.
After Yaya's team trained the sixth troll to master the Extraordinary Feat - Reinforced Muscles,
Matthew finally achieved his desired outcome:
Two types of Extraordinary Muscle Feats!
The first:
Extraordinary Feat - Energy Accumulation: Constitution +1, Strength +1, Agility +1, stamina recovery rate at 1% per second, with the ability to store abundant energy through consuming large amounts of food.
This feat was ideal for professionals like Elio, who needed continuous bursts of destructive power, ensuring sustained stamina.
The second:
Extraordinary Feat - Hardened Muscles: Strength +2, Constitution +1, Agility +1, Physical Damage Reduction 10%, Carrying Capacity +10%, Attack Accuracy +10%.
This was the pinnacle of muscle combat amplification!
To achieve this, Matthew burned 10 million Destiny Points!
Next, the focus would be on developing methods for human soldiers to acquire this "extraordinary" strength!
