There were two reasons why Luke did this.
Firstly, after the battle, he had a lot of things to deal with, and the changes in his body every time he added a point was a good opportunity to observe himself and the system. He couldn't waste it.
Secondly, Dexterity was about to reach 40 points in the attribute that he needed to increase.
He still remembered the feeling when his Strength and Mental Strength broke through 40 points.
Once Dexterity reached 40, Luke's body would definitely have a strong reaction, and he might not be able to continue fighting.
Thus, it was already two days later when he was done with everything.
That afternoon, Luke and his clone arrived at New Hope Laboratory in Nassau County. They entered his personal basement and took out the medical AI program Osiris, as well as various equipment and drugs from his inventory.
"Osiris, check the equipment and drugs. Once you're ready, we'll start," he said.
"Okay, sir," replied Osiris.
A few minutes later, it said, "You may begin, sir."
Luke nodded and lay down on the medical bed. "Begin."
Osiris immediately commanded the various mechanical arms to get to work on him.
His clone silently lay down on another medical bed next to him, and was surrounded by another bunch of mechanical arms.
This was the first time that Luke had broken through the attribute barrier with his clone.
Whether or not there would be any abnormalities with his clone was also part of the test.
After Osiris reported that everything was ready, Luke lightly tapped on Dexterity, and 29 (Star of Justice + 10) became 30 (Star of Justice + 10).
An intense and indescribable feeling came from all over his body.
It felt like an itch, a twitch, and an electric shock.
If he had to give it an adjective, it would be — uncomfortable.
It covered every inch of his body, not just his skin or muscles, but his entire body, from the inside out, was filled with this feeling.
The clone couldn't help but curse. "F * ck!"
Actually, it was the original body who wanted to curse, but his mouth could no longer form precise words, and could only roar vaguely.
The clone's situation was a little better, so he cursed.
This also meant that Luke, who was very familiar with multitasking, couldn't do anything at all.
Under this unimaginably uncomfortable feeling, the main body and the clone synchronized again and cursed at the same time.
Thankfully, he hadn't leveled up during the battle! This thought flashed through Luke's mind, but it quickly disappeared.
He still had an important experiment to complete.
The use of telekinesis was unsuccessful.
Unable to concentrate, his Psyche Power, which was usually as ferocious as a dragon, was like a small earthworm, dispersing as soon as it was activated.
Annihilation activated, failed.
This ability was too powerful, and it was too dangerous to lose control.
Luke tested it a little, and found that it was also very hard to control, so he immediately gave up.
Elementary Muscle Control activated. Failed.
His muscles, which used to be extremely obedient, were now like short-circuited machines. They had some reaction, but were unable to move.
Finally, the Kunlun Qi Refining Technique was activated.
Uh … success? Luke was surprised for a moment, and then pleasantly surprised.
At the beginning of the Kunlun Qi Training Technique, one needed to concentrate and calm the Qi, and guide the posture.
However, as long as one cultivated it to an extremely proficient level, it would become almost instinctive. Posture and mental state would only affect the efficiency of cultivation.
Regardless of the position or the pain, with just a thought, the Qi would automatically circulate according to the most familiar cultivation method.
At that moment, Luke was in a special situation where his body had been modified. He could only circulate the qi in his body in the most familiar way, but he couldn't attack or defend.
At the same time, the system prompted, "Do you want to use points to replenish the energy required for the Kunlun Qi Refinement Technique?"
Luke immediately chose yes.
When he usually cultivated, he used up five to ten credit points an hour. Now, he used up one credit point every two minutes.
When he first cultivated the Qi Training Technique, Luke still used food and nutrition to maintain the production of Qi.
That was until he noticed that his clone always used up more credit points when he cultivated the Qi Training Technique.
Thus, he raised a question to the system.
Sure enough, the system could convert credit points into energy for the Qi Training Technique.
Normally, this was only a supplementary method. In any case, he was used to eating.
But now that his body was being modified, he needed a lot of external nutrients.
If he used the Qi Training Technique to fight for it, it might cause his body to be incomplete. That would be a huge problem.
Now, the credit points were used to cultivate the Qi Training Technique, and the nutrients from the medical equipment were used to satisfy his body's needs.
Once again, Luke observed the process of modifying his stats.
Cultivating the Qi Training Technique could make the body more accustomed to the existence of Qi, so that it could quickly and naturally reach every part of the body and perform various precise operations.
At the same time, the amount of Qi stored in the body would gradually increase, and they would be able to last longer in battle or unleash greater power.
Now that Kunlun's Qi Training Technique was involved in the body transformation, it was worth paying attention to what was different from the previous times.
Luke directly experienced the most obvious difference: the addition of the Qi Training Technique made this transformation far less painful than it had been for his Strength and Mental Strength to reach 40.
The data from the various equipment and his own feelings showed that the transformation wasn't any less intense. Instead, it was getting stronger.
In just a few minutes, the effect was 5% higher than before, and half an hour later, it reached 10%. Only then did it stabilize.
Luke managed to endure the pain of the transformation, and didn't scream out loud.
With the addition and subtraction, the benefits of the Qi Refinement Technique on body modification were unexpectedly great.
It had to be noted that Luke had just passed the 40 point transformation.
After completing it, his Dexterity was 16 times that of a normal person's.
A 10% increase in Dexterity was equivalent to an additional two or three points.
Luke could already see that his Dexterity on the system panel had changed from 30 (Justice Star + 10) to 31 (Justice Star + 10).
His Dexterity had actually increased by one point on its own.
Luke had never expected this result.
After obtaining the system, he had trained a lot.
But he had never increased his basic attributes by even one point.
He had repeatedly harassed the system about this, and its answer was, "The training effect exists, but it's too weak, so it's not displayed."
Luke was puzzled. Even if it was weak, was it so hard to increase an attribute point after training for so long?
The system's answer was very simple: Before one's basic attributes broke through 20, long-term training would have a more obvious effect. After that, every additional attribute point would break through the limits of the human body, and the training effect would decrease as one's attributes increased.
Luke only thought for a moment before he understood.
It was like how it wasn't difficult for an ordinary athlete to run under 11 seconds after several years of professional training.
But running under 10 seconds wasn't something that an ordinary person with ordinary talent could achieve through training.
And if one wanted to run under 9 seconds, even a professional athlete and professional training might not succeed.
Luke thought about himself. After more than two years, he had reached 40 in all three of his attributes, and his physique was completely inhuman.
Could ordinary training make someone like him continue to break through his limits? It wasn't that easy.
It was like Usain Bolt. Even if he could break through 9, could he break through 876 all the way?
That was clearly impossible.
