Translator: 549690339
Deep under the sea, a seven-meter-long Mutated Fish was being devoured by the Sword Armor Beast at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Besides some indigestible organs like intestines, the fish bladder and even bones were all crushed and eaten by the Sword Armor Beast, due to its inability to consume energy as well.
With this mutated fish in its stomach, the size of the Sword Armor Beast visibly grew several centimeters, and its body swelled significantly larger.
Crack Crack!!
With its left claw, the Sword Armor Beast grabbed the half-meter-long Crystal Horn, like eating a blue popsicle, using its sharp and hard teeth to crush it.
Feeling satisfied and full, the Sword Armor Beast floated in the seawater, thinking to itself.
This energy-attacking mutated fish had a level close to early Level 4, but its strength was very weak. It felt like it couldn’t even compare to an ordinary Level 3 Mutant Beast.
However, the energy contained in its flesh and blood was very rich, almost several times that of a mutated fish of the same size, especially the blue Crystal Horn, which felt like an energy crystal body.
It seemed to be related to those luminous corals on the volcano’s mouth.
At this thought, the Sword Armor Beast licked its sharp fangs, and its massive body slightly shook and disappeared into the dark deep sea.
Back in his hotel room, Jack Clark slowly opened his eyes.
Feeling the warm currents appearing out of thin air within his body, Jack couldn’t help but smile. Sure enough, the sea was the real home of the Sword Armor Beast.
Only the ocean had endless mutated creatures for the Sword Armor Beast to grow rapidly.
As for absorbing the genes of flying birds and soaring in the sky, and hunting on the land, Jack had never thought about it before.
Would the land-based mutated beasts be enough for the Sword Armor Beast to eat? Would the Human Federation allow a mutated beast to grow infinitely?
Of course not.
Even if he demonstrated that he could control the Sword Armor Beast, the Human Federation would not let this mutated beast grow infinitely and would also expose many of his secrets.
In such a situation, it would naturally grow quietly in the depths of the ocean, not drawing any unwanted attention.
Just now, that single Crystal Angelfish not only made the Sword Armor Beast grow a lot, but also raised his Four Major Attributes by almost a few points, with an amazing increase.
If the Sword Armor Beast eats all the Crystal Angelfish, not only will it grow, but also Jack’s Four Major Attributes will skyrocket. By then, his strength will become even more terrifying.
Just that, Jack couldn’t help but smile bitterly while looking at the slightly transparent energy crystal in his hand: “The cultivation consumption of the Third Layer Heaven is so high.”
The Second Layer Heaven could quickly absorb a month’s worth of energy crystals. He had just been cultivating for an afternoon and had consumed one-tenth of that energy.
However, the cultivation speed of directly absorbing energy crystals is indeed fast.
Jack estimated that at this rate, even without using attribute points to strengthen himself, it would take at most half a month to break through to the late period, and more than three months to break through the Fourth Layer Heaven.
But in doing so, he would have to consume at least nine energy crystals, which would be dozens of Contribution Points since he could only exchange two at a 30% discount per month.
At this thought, Jack hesitated a bit.
Contribution Points were much more important to him. After the Dragon Elephant Power condensed True Martial Rune, he was full of expectations for the strengthening of the Mind’s Eye Bright Knife.
He didn’t know what changes would occur after this Sword Skill reached its maximum strengthening.
Besides, he also needed to prepare to exchange the Advanced Skill Dragon Elephant Overlord Body, and he wanted to strengthen his equipment as well.
During the Hunt for the Golden-Backed Berserk Ape King, he was able to easily defeat it due to his strength, Enhanced +10 Armor, and strong physique, only suffering a boil of his Blood Qi from several Furious Ape attacks.
However, this battle also exposed the weakness of his weapon not being hard or sharp enough.
If his straight blade were indestructible and unparalleled, with his speed and strength, he would have no equal at the same level, be it mutated beasts or humans.
So it’s still because he’s poor…
In the following days, besides cultivation, Jack was wreaking havoc in the deep sea, ambushing and attacking Crystal Angelfish, devouring them to grow and increase his strength.
However, those Crystal Angelfish seemed to have some intelligence.
After those five seven-meter-long Crystal Angelfish were killed by the Sword Armor Beast, the remaining ones became more alert and would not stray too far from the volcano mouth to find food.
They would often cluster in groups of two or three, making it difficult for the Sword Armor Beast to act.
After all, as individual fish, it could rely on its terrifying speed to ambush and kill them in an instant.
But once they gathered together, the Sword Armor Beast would be attacked by other Crystal Angelfish the moment it killed one of them.
That kind of ice-cold light beam that could freeze seawater and living beings, the Sword Armor Beast didn’t want to touch it unless necessary since it had no confidence in its magic resistance.
While Jack focused on ‘evolution’ and increased his strength, the others weren’t idle either.
Marcus Lee and Justin Welan were also concentrating on cultivation, while Howard Lee disappeared once more.
By the time he appeared again, he should have absorbed the essence blood of the Golden-Backed Violent Ape and increased his strength.
Because of Jack’s group of four’s motivation, other students of South Sky Martial Height, like Zac Lyons, cultivated even harder, trying to break through to the Third Layer Heaven as soon as possible and catch up to them.
In this situation, students from the other two schools also felt the invisible pressure.
Although they were from different schools, they were all ‘genius’ cultivators who had reached Foundation Establishment within a week;, so why did they feel that the gap between them was getting bigger?
So these students also actively took on missions, chasing and killing the few scattered blood disciples in the city like mad dogs.
Some students even went to the surrounding small towns and cities without any mission, wanting to see if they could come across any luck.
Under such stable conditions, the economic situation in Lester City and its surroundings slowly recovered. Many commercial streets regained some vitality at night.
.. Two hundred meters deep within the dark sea, a group of giant squids ranging from one to two meters in length panicked and fled, hunted by two Crystal Horn Mutated Fish.
Each of the Crystal Horn Mutated Fish were over eight meters long, their bulky bodies even more imposing than a great white shark, and the one-meter blue crystal horn on their head gave off an oppressive aura.
At this moment, the two Mutated Fish spread out to the left and right, shooting beams of light from their horns that froze several giant squids and formed icicles in the water, as thick as a thigh and tens of meters long.
For these weaker, mutated giant squids, the energy-attacking Crystal Horn Mutated Fish were like a devastating dimensional attack.
After devouring hundreds of squids, the well-fed Crystal Horn Mutated Fish ceased their attack and stopped chasing the escaping school of fish, their bodies pivoting slightly, about to return…
Bang!
In the distance, the seawater exploded, a dark shadow tore through the current, and instantly traversed a hundred meters, appearing beside a Crystal Horn Mutated Fish, its strong and sharp claw striking down.
Boom! Under the terrifying force and speed, a circle of white shockwave exploded from the seawater, creating a blast several meters wide.
With a single strike, half of this Mutated Crystal Horn Fish’s skull shattered, and it was instantly killed by the Sword Armor Beast. Thick blood and white fluids burst forth, tinting the sea water red.
While the Sword Armor Beast launched its attack, the Crystal Horn Fish several meters away reacted, its head shooting out a blue beam of light.
Seeing this, the Sword Armor Beast ignored the attack, charging forward while holding the dead Mutated Fish’s body.
Through its observations during these few days, it discovered that the blue cold light was indeed powerful. However, its penetrating power would be greatly weakened after passing through a living being’s body.
Moreover, it couldn’t be used for an extended period; it seemed to have limited energy.
For example, the intensity and brightness of the beam shot by the exhausted Crystal Horn Fish, both its concentration and brightness had been halved compared to before.
This was why the Sword Armor Beast had remained hidden for so long, waiting until the Mutated Fish were satiated before making a move.
Whoosh! The blue beam pierced through the Mutated Fish corpse; in an instant, a layer of ice appeared on half of the Crystal Horn Fish’s body, emitting an icy chill.
After the beam weakened again from passing through the thick carcass, by the time it reached the Sword Armor Beast’s body, all that was left was a faint blue radiance.
Still, the Sword Armor Beast felt an astonishing coldness sweep over it, causing its body to stiffen slightly. However, the icy chill was quickly dispersed by the surging, scorching Qi Blood within it.
Bang! The half-frozen Mutated Fish’s corpse, still moving at full speed, viciously collided with the other Mutated Fish, the enormous impact flipping it over.
For a moment, the seawater trembled, causing splashes to erupt.
As the other Mutated Fish flipped over, a black bone spur pierced through everything, like a black afterimage, instantly penetrating its skull and completing the double kill.
In the dark sea, the two colossal corpses over eight meters long slowly sank and floated, their scarlet blood gushing out from their wounds and dyeing the surrounding seawater red.
On the side, the increasingly baleful-looking, more than seven-meters-long black Mutant Beast’s tail swayed slightly, its icy cold golden vertical pupils exuding a fierce aura.
“It seems that I was overly cautious before. This cold light does have a strong killing power against regular creatures, but its effect on Extraordinary Creatures like myself is much weaker.”
With continuous evolution and growth through cellular division and condensation, the Sword Armor Beast’s body density became increasingly terrifying, its bones extremely solid and its muscles containing formidable power.
Although its talent lay in strength, defense, and agility, all of which were body-strengthening types.
However, this didn’t mean that there wasn’t any extraordinary energy in its body. It’s just that this extraordinary energy had merged into its flesh and blood, turning into scorching hot Qi Blood, which instinctively burst out to disperse the cold light when it was attacked earlier.
Of course, there was also the fact that the previous cold light attack was relatively weak.
If it were to face a full-strength attack from that Crystal Angelfish during its prime, or even continuous attacks from four or five Crystal Angelfish, the Sword Armor Beast wouldn’t be able to endure it now.
This was also the reason why it had been lurking for several days, and finally attacked when it encountered two Crystal Angelfish that were ‘stranded’.
After all, safety comes first.
The ocean was vast, and there was no need to stick to guarding these Crystal Angelfish. Therefore, during this period, in addition to observing these fish, the Sword Armor Beast was also hunting in the distance.
Excited, the Sword Armor Beast moved its right and left claws to grab the two huge prey, swinging its tail, and swimming toward its temporary nest tens of miles away.
It couldn’t help it; the two fish were huge.
Even with its terrifying digestive ability, it’d take a long time to finish eating them, so naturally, it would return to a safe nest.
Otherwise, what would it do if it were eating and suddenly bumped into larger Crystal Angelfish that had gone out in groups to find food?
After understanding the intensity of the cold light beams emitted by the Crystal Angelfish, the Sword Armor Beast maintained a sly approach to hunting and killing several more in the following days.
In this situation, its evolution value continued to skyrocket, increasing by tens of points every day. It felt that within two months, it would reach the requirements for its fourth evolution.
Of course, this was based on the premise of constantly eating Crystal Angelfish with abundant energy, which was obviously impossible.
Time passed quickly, and it was December 17th.
In the afternoon, the cold sun painted the land golden.
Sitting cross-legged on the hotel balcony, Jack Clark slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was icy cold, with a hint of brutality and fierceness, as if he was a terrifying human-shaped fierce beast.
However, this terrifying aura was only fleeting. When Jack Clark opened his eyes again, his gaze had become gentle as jade.
“Finally starting to exert strength, huh?”
Feeling the increasingly dense and terrifying warm current that was continuously strengthening his body, a faint smile appeared on Jack Clark’s peerlessly handsome face.
From a ten-centimeter-long Six-legged Salamander to its current state, the Avatar had gradually begun to exert its power.
Aside from becoming more and more monstrous and gigantic, it also helped Jack Clark’s body to grow in strength at a terrifying speed, quickly surpassing those esteemed ‘geniuses’ of the same level.
Just now, his highest strength attribute had surpassed 400 points, with a physique of over 360. It had been just over half a month since the Sword Armor Beast’s third evolution.
Of course, the rapid increase was also related to the group of Crystal Angelfish.
With abundant high-energy food, both the Avatar and the main body were growing rapidly. During this period, the evolution points had accumulated by several hundred points.
At that moment, all the students received a meeting message.. Jack Clark paused for a moment, “What happened?”
