My Items Can Upgrade-Chapter 370 - 188: Power Surge (Part 3)

But just like before, the black tortoise’s size didn’t change at all.

"Wa wa..."

The black tortoise cried out excitedly, its head retracting and extending, while its limbs trembled as it tried to crawl around, but it couldn’t move under Yang Yuan’s pressing hand.

"Hopefully, you’ll be able to scream this loud later."

Yang Yuan said expressionlessly, and then continued to infuse the Power of Creation.

Still without any bottlenecks, the level of the black tortoise soared upwards.

Finally, at level forty, it paused as it was about to break through, and suddenly the black tortoise felt pain.

Yang Yuan noticed its shell starting to crack, its muscles tearing, and the overall size finally began to change, swelling rapidly.

"Buzz—"

Before long, when the black tortoise’s size reached a diameter of two meters, it successfully broke through to level forty-one, marking the beginning of Earth Level.

"A breakthrough in such a great realm is required for growth; what kind of tortoise are you?"

Yang Yuan looked at the black tortoise in front of him with surprise.

However, the black tortoise looked at him blankly, seemingly unsure of what kind of tortoise it was, perhaps just bewildered by its rapid improvement.

Yang Yuan disregarded it and continued to infuse the Power of Creation, although the excess power within him was running low.

Soon, as the Power of Creation was nearly depleted, the level of the black tortoise rose to fifty.

This happens to be the highest level this fourth-tier continent can accommodate, and further breakthroughs would likely induce a forced ascension for a being like the black tortoise, which releases energy crazily upon breaking through.

Yang Yuan didn’t continue to infuse the Power of Creation, instead channeling the remaining power into the Creation Battery.

"Level fifty basics are enough."

He directly pulled out a tier-three Marvel wooden knife, and under the excited gaze of the black tortoise, he stomped hard.

"Boom!"

The black tortoise was shaken and flew up.

Just then a flash of blade light, and the four legs of the black tortoise all flew off.

"Boom—"

Though only two meters in size, the surprisingly heavy black tortoise landed on its back and created a pit on the ground.

"Wa wa wa..." The black tortoise wailed miserably, looking at Yang Yuan in disbelief, seemingly unable to understand why its owner would cut off its legs.

Clearly it had recognized him as its master.

"Don’t worry, I’m helping you get stronger."

Yang Yuan picked up the four legs of the tortoise, trying to help it attach them back; this time he didn’t modify, instead let the black tortoise use its own healing ability to mend the broken limbs.

The four legs were put back, and with the black tortoise’s life force being strong enough at level fifty, they quickly reattached and healed.

Though there might be some sequelae, these issues will eventually pose no threat.

Sure enough, even without alteration, this rough ’disassemble and reassemble’ could yield upgrade data:

[Mountain-Bearing Turtle lv.1: 0/3 (A rare weighted turtle species that needs weight to grow, otherwise it merely has the level but lacks corresponding size. The larger the weight they bear, the faster they grow: cannot be upgraded)]

Mountain-Bearing Turtle?

That makes sense.

Yang Yuan suddenly understood why this tortoise didn’t grow in size, only gaining a bit when breaking into a larger realm.

Earth Level creatures normally have a size of a hundred meters.

Yet this black tortoise, even at level fifty, was only two meters big, simply intolerable to watch.

But fortunately, though lacking the corresponding size for its level, its strength is still fairly average, its base physique is strong enough.

Yang Yuan helped the black tortoise turn over, allowing it to crawl upright again, and said, "Go move around nearby or try to carry a mountain. You’re a Mountain-Bearing Turtle, and without carrying a mountain, you might never grow larger."

Having said that, he ignored the aggrieved black tortoise and took out the Safe House again, entered it, and shut the door, preparing to level up.

In hidden mode, once the door is shut, it disappears completely.

The black tortoise saw this, its eyes rolling around, no longer showing any sign of grievance, quickly ran toward the distant oasis.

In an instant, it arrived at the oasis lake, jumped right in, and began digging downward.

Who needs to carry a mountain when you can sleep soundly.

...

Inside the Safe House.

Yang Yuan glanced through the balcony at the escaping black tortoise, but ignored it.

Since it doesn’t cherish the opportunity, let it stay forever at level fifty; his Conceptual Power is not to be underestimated, even if just now upgrade data appears, it has already been influenced by his Conceptual Power, never able to break through its power on its own.

"Upgrade!"

With a thought, Yang Yuan began his upgrade.

He had already churned out tens of thousands of bound items before, and recently sold many bound items in succession.

Those woodcutters and miners also contributed efficiently, boosting the bound items to fifth tier in a short time.

Thus, the experience they provided was completely sufficient for him to reach level sixty-one.

Just like before, during the upgrading process, though his physique and power surged wildly, every minor level increase doubled his physique and strength based on the previous level.

But in the absence of deliberately releasing energy, his aura not only didn’t grow stronger, but became weaker, as if slipping from reality into illusion.

"Boom—"

Shortly, he successfully broke the shackles, reaching level sixty-one, and his vitality and spirit underwent another qualitative change.

"To what extent have my physique and strength reached now?"

Yang Yuan sensed his condition, and then took out a small piece of Earth’s Limit creature bone... the crab shell of a crab general, and squeezed it forcefully.
