Auto Hunting With My Clones - Chapter 221
< Enlightenment (1) >
Muscle is a component of the human body composed of bundles of muscle fibers, which are a mass of muscle cells.
Through muscles, creatures can generate power and use this power to move.
And depending on the shape and quality of these muscles, their strength varies greatly.
The average male grip strength is 50 kg, but the male orangutan’s grip strength is close to 200 kg.
In other words, it meant that Sangwoo could produce a grip of 50,000 kg and 50 tons, which is 1,000 times that of 50 kg.
Of course, it was not known exactly whether the number of the actual system grows in direct proportion like this.
It’s just an estimate.
However, whether it was true or not, it was clear that it was an enormous force.
And Sang-woo couldn’t believe that fact.
‘Does I really have that kind of power?’
Sangwoo clenched his fist tightly.
Kkadudeuk-
I feel the power that is about to explode in my tightly clenched fist.
‘I think it might work.’
With this kind of power, it wasn’t even a task to crush a stone with the power of an angler like in the cartoon.
I didn’t know if it would be possible to add a spoonful to that and play with the iron pieces like clay.
It seemed like it would be possible to drill a hole in a lump of iron with a finger.
Thinking this far, Sang-woo looked back at himself.
‘…Am I human?’
Does it make sense that humans can exert such power?
The story of a mother who uses superhuman strength to lift a truck to save her child from being crushed under it.
Listening to such Internet ghost stories, it was not strange to go beyond human limits.
There are many awakeners and hunters active in this era.
because they are too
‘But there’s such a thing as common sense.’
Is it possible for a small human to jump over a building with one jump, pierce a steel plate with his fist, and deflect bullets with his bare body?
Is it really possible to transcend the laws of physics that make muscles and bones harder than metal just by overstepping the limit?
‘Let’s say I’ve gone beyond human beings and really escaped the limits of the human species. Even so, can protein really become stronger than metal?’
Sang-woo suddenly became suspicious and closed the connection.
He then focused his consciousness on the main body on Earth.
“…heung~ heuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu of course”
A sight came to mind.
It was his room, and he could see Woohyun next to him.
She was lying on her bed, listening to music and surfing the web.
Sangwoo quietly opened the smart goggles without disturbing her.
It was an intention to surf the web to see if what he came up with was possible.
‘Shall we look for it?’
When I searched for various keywords such as protein, protein new material, various information came to mind.
And Sang-woo felt that his common sense was broken.
‘Is protein… such a great thing?’
A typical example was a spider’s web.
This transparent thread-like web that spiders make.
This silk-like protein fiber, which seemed to break even with a strong wind, surprisingly had stronger elasticity and tension than any other fiber of the same mass and volume.
As for how strong the tensile force was, it was said that it would be harder than steel.
In other words, if you collect and collect spider webs to make clothes, you can make light, hard and safe body armor.
In addition, this technology has already been put into practical use by the US Army National Defense Research Institute, and recently, it is said that they are using the iron spider’s spider web to produce stronger and stronger breakthrough bulletproof vests.
‘Just because it’s protein doesn’t necessarily mean it’s weaker than metal.’
Until now, Sang-woo had a preconceived notion that it was strange if protein, or muscle, was stronger than metal.
No, it was clear that not only Sang-woo, but anyone else was thinking that way.
For common sense, it doesn’t make sense to say that a ‘trained body is stronger than metal’.
However, Sang-woo, who saw the infinite possibilities of protein structure, realized that the boundary of such a narrow idea was collapsing.
‘Then it must have been protein modification in my body.’
How the hell did the protein structure change?
Sangwoo looked closely at the structure of muscle fibers in ordinary people through the Internet.
After understanding the structure to some extent.
‘shall we start.’
Sangwoo sat comfortably in his seat.
Now it was his turn to look inside.
He put consciousness into the mana flowing through his body.
Then, a new image appeared in his world of images, and he saw his insides.
His red and dark body.
There, as if using infrared vision goggles, I could feel the mana filling the body.
It is more accurate to say that it is felt rather than seen.
Sang-woo looked at the mana, which was tinged with various colors.
Along with the heartbeat, there was also mana that quickly circulated the whole body, and according to the energy of the storm core, the mana that circulated not only the whole body but also the outside of the body was felt.
Sang-woo moved the small mana near the heart among them.
‘Come on.’
Then, in compliance with his will, part of the mana that had been purifying the whole body according to Sang-woo’s will escaped from the flow of blood vessels.
‘good. Shall we take a closer look?’
Now is the time to take a closer look inside your body.
Mana that crosses organs and cell walls as if there were no boundaries.
He moved that mana and sent it to his left arm.
Then, is it because I got used to the Hado system?
As usual, Mana tried to quickly move with her left hand out of habit, probably feeling that she was trying to shoot at least an aura through her skill.
‘Whoa, calm down.’
Sang-woo stopped the mana from flowing away.
He channeled mana into the muscle fibers on the bicep of his left arm.
Immediately after that, I felt completely different from the human body structure I saw on the Internet.
‘The protein structure is different?’
Normally, the protein structure of muscle fibers in humans is a form in which thread-like myofibrils are gathered like noodle stalks.
And the inside of the myofibril was composed of a protein structure called myosin, and the structure of this myosin was usually composed of a branched structure like a tree branch.
However, the myosin protein structure of Sangwoo’s muscle fibers was different.
‘…the shape is like a folding screen.’
His myosin protein structure was in the form of a folding screen.
This folding screen structure, like the protein structure that makes up a spider web, was entangled in a zigzag pattern, so it was in contact with muscle fibers over a much larger area compared to the same area compared to a normal twig structure that makes sparse contact.
That’s why it was able to generate stronger force than normal muscle fibers of ordinary people.
Sang-woo was excited to find out the secret of muscle fibers.
For some reason,
‘Did it change during the body change process? If that’s the case…’
If there are parts that haven’t changed with this protein structure, wouldn’t it be possible to improve it?
Seeing as if he had found a clue to breaking through the limits, Sang-woo quickly scanned his entire body with mana.
However, after completing the scan, Sang-woo was discouraged.
His entire body was already made up of muscle with a folding screen protein structure.
In other words, compared with muscle fibers alone, he had already reached the limit.
‘Sorry.’
If you increase muscle volume or increase the amount of muscle fibers here, muscle strength will increase more, but it doesn’t seem to be meaningful.
Just like Sang-woo wanted, wanting to go beyond the strength limit of 1000 to 2000 3000 10000 meant that this method was impossible to solve.
‘Hmm… Then the method should be changed to a different protein structure.’
It was the time when Sang-woo looked inside again, wondering if he should look for information again or which monster had the strongest strength and agility.
Sang-woo noticed something strange on his right arm.
‘…is it coated with mana?’
Yes.
In the muscle part that Sang-woo frequently uses, it was unusual that each of the mana particles adhered to the muscle fiber and coated the muscle fiber.
‘It’s strange.’
Sang-woo slightly loosened his mana-focused consciousness and tried to strain his right arm.
Then the mana particles began to glow brightly.
It seemed as if whenever Sang-woo’s power was concentrated, the mana particles transmitted their power to the muscle fibers and strengthened them.
‘It looks like this.’
So far, when Sangwoo needs explosive power, he has been fighting in a form of concentrating on the mana that circulates throughout the body or from cores such as the Storm Core and concentrating on that part.
However, in addition to the additional mana he concentrated on, mana particles were combined in each muscle fiber to enhance basic physical abilities.
If mana concentration is an active skill, then the mana particles of muscle fibers are like a passive skill.
‘Is this the secret of strength?’
The feeling of a mystery being revealed.
It seemed that the more the mana particles adhered to the muscle fiber, the stronger the muscle strength became.
‘If so…’
Everything was explained.
When catching a monster, the system message increases magical power and some stats.
But Sang-woo now knew.
Although it is not indicated in the system, mana also rises.
In other words, mana is absorbed into the body.
‘Then, the mana absorbed into the body sticks to the muscle fibers, increases muscle strength, increases agility, and increases regenerative power, so that’s how it was!’
Mana sticks to muscle fibers and increases muscle strength.
Mana clings to the neural network and increases agility.
Mana sticks to brain cells and increases intelligence.
A realization that came unexpectedly.
Sang-woo immediately tried to test his enlightenment by moving Mana.
But there was no need to move.
As scary as he thought, the mana of his whole body fluctuated according to his will.
Ssssss- Unprecedented
mana that even Sang-woo himself could not grasp properly.
The mana that Raven judged to have surpassed that of the Grand Sword Master boiled over.
Then, each of those mana particles began to combine with Sang-woo’s whole body, such as his muscle fibers, bones, neural networks, brain cells, and neurons.
OK.
Ooh Ohooo-
The light came out of the whole body of Sangwoo.
Along with him, the room where Sang-woo was was shaken.
“What!”
Woohyun fell from the bed due to the sudden shock from the side.
Surprised, she looked to where Sang-woo was.
But the light was so bright that I couldn’t see where he was.
‘Dangerous!’
I don’t know what happened, but Woohyun felt that Sangwoo was in danger.
Instinctively, she jumped at Sang-woo.
to save him
However, due to the vortex of mana surrounding Sang-woo, he was immediately thrown back.
Pak!
Woohyun hit the door and fell roughly.
“Ugh…”
Woohyun passed out after leaving a single moan.
and in between.
Whether he knew Woohyun had collapsed or not, Sangwoo’s body was undergoing a change.
