Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 546

Bones were an important part when it came to unleashing power.

On Earth, there was a horrible and deadly disease called Tetanus.

Tetanus would cause tremendously painful and powerful cramps over the afflicted person's entire body.

These cramps could sometimes become so powerful that they literally broke the afflicted person's bones.

There were even reports of these cramps breaking a person's spine.

Usually, a normal person wouldn't use so much power that their bones broke, but Tetanus made that possible.

After all, a person's instincts simply refused to use so much power since it would potentially lead to debilitating injuries or death.

Muscles used power by contracting while being attached to different bones.

For example, the biceps was attached to the shoulder blade and the radius bone.

By contracting, the radius bone would be pulled towards the upper arm or shoulder.

If someone used too much power, it was possible that a lot of muscle fibers in the upper arm would tear, which would weaken the muscle significantly.

In that scenario, the muscle was the weakest point in the machine of strength.

However, if the muscle was powerful enough, it might not be the muscle itself that broke under the strain but the tendons, which were the connections between bones and muscle. These tendons could tear or detach.

If that happened, the muscle would lose its grip, and someone wouldn't be able to use any power anymore.

Very rarely, it could also happen that the biceps was so strong that it fractured one of the bones it was attached to.

On Earth, this was not really a big problem since, in the vast majority of cases, a part of the muscle was the weakest aspect due to different tensile strengths.

But here, power grew beyond conventional limits, and a powerful muscle could realistically just break the bone it was attached to.

That was why the Fragment of Bones was also necessary to truly unleash one's full physical power.

Kyle's goal had simply been to become as powerful as possible, and with all of these strenuous and powerful swings, he had also trained his bones.

Bones grew stronger in the same way as muscles.

Microfractures would regrow with greater density, essentially making the bone harder. This was similar to how the microtears in the muscle made the muscle stronger.

Although, in Kyle's case, it was more about how he used his Ether that made his body stronger.

After understanding the Fragments of Muscles and Bones, Kyle focused on something else.

He swung a couple more times and took note of something.

'There's a way I can improve my physical strength even more. Technically, my muscles and bones are already at their limit, but if I refine the usage of my Ether a bit more, I can increase the power without putting more strain on my body.'

'It's all about the dispersal of pressure.'

Kyle swung a bit more while trying to optimize his dispersal of pressure.

For a time, his strikes became weaker.

The kind of strikes he had avoided in the past were now what Kyle sought out.

After countless swings, Kyle's swings returned to their power before he had comprehended the two Fragments.

Then, he struck again, but this time, his muscles moved in a wave-like pattern.

The pressure of the power swept across his entire body, and the waves clashed against each other on Kyle's back.

CRK!

Kyle's frozen skin on his back exploded with a shower of frozen blood, but he wasn't discouraged.

He had essentially focused all the power of his entire body on a tiny part, which obviously exploded.

'Just need more practice.'

The Yin-Fire in front of him parted, and for just a small moment, Kyle could see a glimpse of the outside world through them.

From the outside, one could see the gigantic bonfire bulging for just a moment before returning to its usual shape.

Kyle's entire body vibrated, even after the swing was done.

The force he had just unleashed was still traveling through his entire body.

Eventually, it dispersed, and Kyle took a deep breath of Yin-Fire.

After a short pause, Kyle swung again, but this time, he actively watched what his body was doing.

Within just a couple of swings, he understood how his body achieved such an insane amount of power.

When Kyle realized what he had comprehended, a smirk appeared on his face.

'The Fragment of Power, and the Fragment of Metabolism!'

The Fragment of Power was part of the Law of Body, and it represented the dispersal of force, which allowed him to use far more power than his body could handle in the normal way.

The Fragment of Metabolism was also part of the Law of Body, and it represented the speed of delivery regarding Biological Ether. Usually, one could only use so much power at once.

If a Transcendent tried to tire themselves out by just physical activity, they would never run out of Ether. After all, while their body also used Ether, it could only use so much at once.

But with the Fragment of Metabolism, more Ether could be pushed into muscles, which would eventually result in greater usage than regeneration of Ether.

Yet, the instantaneous burst of power was definitely worth it.

'I need more!' Kyle thought as his brows narrowed.

'There is a way I can make my body even stronger!'
