Hui stood at the edge of the pit, looking down at it for a long time.

Then he raised his head and looked at Dongyang Ping.

Those eyes were full of curiosity.

"Uncle Dongyang."

"Um?"

"Just how strong are you now?"

Dong Yangping was stunned for a moment.

This question stumped him.

Yuki Tsukumo also nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, what level are you at right now? I still can't figure you out."

She looked at Dong Yangping with a questioning gaze.

"You don't possess any magical power, so I can't sense the upper limit of your strength. But every time I fight you, I feel that you are stronger than before."

She paused for a moment: "So, just how strong are you?"

Dongyang Ping remained silent for a few seconds.

He looked down at his hands.

That hand was large, yet as pink and tender as a baby's.

But this is just appearance.

True power lies beneath the skin, within the muscle fibers, and in every cell.

"This is a question..." he began, "I've been thinking about it too."

He walked into the courtyard and sat down on the veranda.

Hui ran over, sat down next to him, and looked up at him.

Tsukumo Yuki also came over and sat down on his other side.

Sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

Dong Yangping looked at the lights and shadows and slowly spoke.

Do you know about electromagnetism?

Ninety-nine nodded.

"One of the four fundamental forces. The other three are gravity, the strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear force."

Dong Yangping glanced at her.

"You've been reading a lot lately."

"Nonsense." Tsukumo Yuki rolled her eyes. "You brought those two guys back, and they're reading all the time. How can I not read?"

"There are also four fundamental abilities that are basic. I'm not uneducated; how could I not know that?"

Dongyang Ping smiled.

"Do you know that the force I'm using right now is actually electromagnetic force?"

Tsukumo Yuki paused for a moment.

"Electromagnetic force? Isn't that bioelectricity?"

"Bioelectricity is a form of electromagnetic force."

Dong Yangping said, "Electromagnetic force encompasses a wide range—electricity, magnetism, and light are all essentially electromagnetic forces."

He raised his hand, and a blue arc of electricity crackled between his fingertips.

"This is electricity."

Then he clenched his fist, and the arc of electricity disappeared, replaced by an invisible force—the iron bucket next to him floated up gently.

"This is magnetism."

Hui's eyes widened.

"Wow! Uncle, the bucket is flying!"

With a wave of his hand, Dongyang Ping gently sent the bucket back to its original position.

"Electromagnetism is the easiest of the four fundamental forces to manipulate," he said, "because it is everywhere and closely related to our lives."

Ninety-nine Yuki seemed to be deep in thought.

"So you're manipulating electromagnetic forces right now?"

"Yes." Dong Yangping nodded, "But the application of electromagnetic force has different levels."

Dong Yangping thought for a moment and began to explain: "I have clearly divided my power system."

"The most basic level is called 'electric current driving'."

"Powered by electricity?" Hui tilted her head. "What's that?"

"It's about generating an electric current in the body and then using that current to strengthen the body."

"At this stage, power is measured in volts. Upon awakening, one can fight tanks and shoot down planes and missiles."

Hui's eyes lit up: "Masturbation! That's amazing!"

Tsukumo Yuki frowned.

"Masturbation? What level is that?"

"Probably... at least a level one sorcerer."

Dong Yangping said, "But electric current propulsion is only the foundation. The real power lies above it."

He paused.

That level is called "magnetic field rotation".

Tsukumo Yuki narrowed his eyes.

"Magnetic field rotation? Not transmission?"

"Yes. It's the 'rotation' of 'turning'!" Dong Yangping nodded. "From being propelled by an electric current to rotating by a magnetic field, it's a qualitative leap. Just like..."

He thought about it.

"It's like going from lighting a fire with a match to mastering nuclear fusion."

Tsukumo Yuki remained silent.

She knew the weight of that metaphor.

"The magnetic field rotates, dividing into different layers. I call it by horsepower, which is a horse."

Dong Yangping continued, "The first level is roughly equivalent to ten thousand horsepower. At this level, one can strengthen the body and undergo cell regeneration."

He raised his hand and lightly traced his fingertips across the palm of his other hand.

A small wound appeared.

Then, blue lightning crackled at the wound.

A few seconds later, the wound healed without leaving a scar.

"This is cell recombination," he said. "Using electromagnetic forces to stimulate cells to divide faster and repair damage."

Hui was stunned.

"Uncle, you...you were bleeding! And then it stopped!"

"Hmm." Dongyangping patted his head. "This is the basic application of magnetic field rotation."

Yuki Tsukumo's expression turned serious.

"And what about the even higher levels?"

Dongyang Ping thought for a moment.

"Nine thousand horsepower, capable of initial molecular-level manipulation, withstanding small nuclear bomb explosions, flying, and absorbing plant life force to heal wounds."

"One hundred thousand horses, able to perceive the thoughts and consciousness of those with a power level below one hundred thousand horses."

"Two hundred thousand horses, further enhancing power."

"Two hundred and fifty thousand horses, theoretically enough to shatter fate—but practically probably not."

"500,000 horsepower, reaching the level of defying gravity, allowing it to fly automatically without external force."

"750,000 horses, entering the realm of atomic splitting."

"One million horses—"

Dongyang Ping paused for a moment, then said, "That's the self-destruction realm. It's extremely powerful, but using it will result in death."

Tsukumo Yuki remained silent, inwardly sighing: Dong Yangping's imagination is truly rich!

After a long silence, she asked, "What level are you at now?"

Dongyang Ping thought for a moment.

"A very awkward level."

"Awkward?"

"Hmm." Dong Yangping nodded. "My current state should be described as 'above the propulsion of electric current, below the rotation of magnetic field'."

He raised his hand and looked at the blue arc of electricity dancing in his palm.

"I can use electromagnetic force to strengthen my body, regenerate cells, fly, and sense magnetic fields—these are characteristics of a magnetic field rotating in a different realm."

"But I haven't truly entered the realm of magnetic field rotation."

Ninety-nine Yuki frowned.

Why?

Dongyang Ping remained silent for a few seconds.

"Because of quantity."

"quantity?"

"There is a concept in the magnetic field rotation system called 'force flow'."

Dong Yangping said, "It's not simply about the amount of strength, but about how to use and utilize that strength."

He clenched his fist.

"I don't know if my current body can withstand the force of ten thousand horsepower. But truly entering the realm of magnetic field rotation requires more than just the ability to withstand force; there's also..."

He thought about it.

"And there's the 'Perfect Realm'."

"Perfect state?"

"The ultimate understanding of battle."

"Complete control over power, absolute self-awareness."

Dong Yangping stood up: "I'm still figuring it out."

Dong Yangping was also confused, since it would be difficult to figure it out without a master. He could only make a rough guess by referring to the Hong Kong comics about sea tigers that he had read in his previous life.

After all, his power system is too similar to that world's, or rather, it is exactly the same.

If that were the case—Dong Yangping felt a chill run down his spine.

He doesn't want to become a magnetic field madman.

However, Dong Yangping didn't have the means; there weren't many things that could stir his emotions right now...

Tsukumo Yuki remained silent.

She looked at Dong Yangping with a complicated expression.

"So, just how strong are you right now?"

Dongyang Ping thought for a moment.

"If we convert this to the level of a sorcerer—"

"It should be top grade."
