Chapter 1065 - 586: Muscle "Charging," Luna’s Transformation

"Burp!"

After finishing the meal, he couldn’t help but let out a loud, ungraceful belch.

The satiation from this thing was terrifyingly strong.

He now felt like he had not eaten a piece of apple-sized fruit, but ten solid black rye loaves of bread.

After consuming the fruit, a specific system prompt immediately appeared before Zong Shen.

[Consumed Special-Level Strength Fruit, Strength +50]

After seeing the clear prompt, Zong Shen’s eyes suddenly lit up.

This was a full 50 points of Strength Attribute, and to get that many attribute points through leveling up, you’d need to reach Level 50!

Zong Shen’s current level was LV30, and leveling up by 50 levels was simply absurd!

The highest level he had seen so far was the LV55 Richardson the Lion Skeleton Knight.

The idea of reaching LV80 seemed like a dream.

It was enough to meet all the "dungeon" entry conditions for unique titles.

Even the big shots among the indigenous people probably couldn’t reach such heights!

Even with a clear experience value system, the experience needed to reach LV80 was a terrifying amount.

But now, he just needed to eat a fruit to increase 50 attribute points directly!

With this actually happening, Zong Shen felt more joy than anything else, despite some feelings of awe.

The additional 50 points of strength brought his Strength Attribute to 233 points.

His Life Value also reached 1972 points, nearing the 2000-point mark.

While other lords’ blood volumes generally hovered around three to four hundred points, Zong Shen’s was akin to a humanoid magical beast!

This was a situation other lords couldn’t even imagine!

While Zong Shen glanced at his attributes, feeling satisfied internally.

Suddenly, he lost control over his right hand.

His upper arm visibly swelled up at least three times!

Now as thick as a barrel.

But his forearm remained the same, making his arm appear grotesquely misshapen.

With the swelling came indescribable pain.

"Ugh..."

Zong Shen couldn’t help but cry out in pain but immediately repressed it.

"Hiss..."

As he watched his deformed and swollen arm, he struggled to suppress the muscle pain.

At this moment, Zong Shen felt as if every inch of his muscle was tearing apart.

This sensation was terrifyingly clear, as if it acted directly on his nerves.

More painful than enduring slashes in battle by many times.

Muscle paralysis symptoms began to manifest, and Zong Shen realized his right arm seemed to have lost all sensation, as if the limb no longer existed.

This feeling made him feel incredibly insecure.

And it also gave Zong Shen a near limb-loss sensation.

Yet it wasn’t over, the deformed limb began to move erratically.

Uncontrollably, it swung around, smashing hard onto the table.

With Zong Shen’s strength attribute, if this hit landed properly, it could probably smash the long table to pieces in one blow.

"Hiss..."

"This is the only long table in this room..."

Zong Shen gasped as he cursed under his breath, quickly standing up and shifting aside.

Letting the swing of the deformed right arm fall into empty space.

The furniture in the Lord’s Fortress remained the same set as in the original Lord’s Small Tower.

But with each upgrade, the style and specifications of the furniture would also change.

If destroyed, Zong Shen wasn’t sure if they could be restored in the next upgrade.

He now understood how troublesome the side effects of consuming a [Special-Level Power Fruit] could be.

The limb not only became deformed, but the muscles also swelled and tore.

The most ridiculous part was that the deformed limb would lose control.

He no longer dared to sit.

Enduring the muscle pain, he stood in an open spot in the living room, carefully controlling his body to prevent the deformed right arm from touching anything.

Half an hour later, the deformity in the right arm gradually faded away, the pain subsided, and he regained control over the limb.

However, his back muscles started to swell.

The muscles from his shoulders to his spine suddenly expanded several folds.

Directly tearing through the hempen undergarment.

Fortunately, the [Strength Demon Armor (Red)] set of battle armor could adjust its shape within a certain range and wouldn’t be burst apart by muscle expansion or constrain the muscles.

To be safe, Zong Shen simply stripped all the equipment off his body.

If the upcoming effects were to act on his legs or some unspeakable part, it would be terrible.

The non-set armor he was wearing might not automatically adjust its shape.

Out of caution, he removed all his gear.

At this moment, Zong Shen’s back muscles bulged, with the skin stretched thin, revealing the web-like capillaries beneath.

Zong Shen was constantly enduring the pain; these two hours were bound to be torturous and long for him.

But for these 50 points of Strength Attribute, all the endurance was worth it.

Besides enduring the pain, he had to cautiously guard against the potential damage from muscle loss of control.

...

An hour and a half later.

The sky outside began to lighten.

Beyond the eastern city wall, the distant sky radiated a bluish-white glow.

Zong Shen collapsed, drenched in sweat, onto the ground.

Seeing the prompt before him, he gave a fatigued smile.

[Special-Level Power Fruit consumption completed]

[Strength Gain stabilized]

Clearly, enduring the side effects brought by the fruit was also a step in the consumption process.

This was a grueling but not fatal experience.
