12 Chapter 12: Hundredfold Strength
Translator: 549690339
This time, after the Avatar Evolution, Jack Clark’s main body also received feedback, and all four major attributes received a 3-point increase, reaching the level of an ordinary person.
The Spiritual Attribute even surpassed that of a normal person.
This change was an unexpected delight.
But the change in the Salamander Avatar was even more exaggerated, evolving directly from a weak organism to a low-level Extraordinary Creature, gaining a talent called Divine Strength.
Although the note indicated that the current Avatar could only burst ten times its strength, its potential reached a hundred times, as long as the body’s strength kept up.
Now, this talent may not seem that powerful, and at this size, a hundredfold burst is nothing special. But what if the Avatar evolves to be tens of meters, or even hundreds of meters long?
At that time, a hundredfold burst of its own power would be enough to shake the heavens and the earth.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Jack Clark weighed the Avatar again.
Before evolution, the 30-centimeter salamander weighed only seven ounces, but after evolution, it weighed more than three pounds at the same size, with a density increase of about five times.
After weighing, further tests were conducted.
For example, crawling, the strong limbs allowed the Avatar to crawl quickly on the ground, much more agile than before, like a small lizard.
At the same time, the claws of the limbs could tear paper, like a sharp little knife.
As the bones were strengthened, even the teeth became sharper, and the bite force was stronger, capable of easily crushing fish skulls.
Jack Clark was very satisfied with the results of this Evolution. His Avatar had finally gone from weak to a ferocious carnivorous beast, even if it was only the size of a puppy now.
Then, Jack Clark used his consciousness to control the Avatar to crawl around the room and adapt to the changes after the Evolution. He only stopped when he felt that it was about enough.
“Now it’s time for today’s cultivation.” Jack Clark opened his eyes.
He wondered what changes there would be in his cultivation now that his physical constitution as a whole had improved.
With anticipation, Jack Clark sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and focused his mind, entering the meditative state.
In the dark space of consciousness, a lotus made of dashed lines slowly rotated. Three petals of the lotus were clearly visible, representing Jack Clark’s three-petal progress.
At this moment, the stronger Spirit Power covered the lotus.
Under this meditative Spirit Power, a transparent petal slowly became clear from the bottom up, solidifying, and even the texture on it could be seen clearly.
“Sigh! One petal.”
Jacks Clark exhaled and a smile appeared on his face.
This time the cultivation progress was +9, Spiritual Attribute +0.2, which was twice as fast as before, and the sense of mental fatigue after cultivation was not as strong as before.
But soon, Jack Clark’s eyes showed a thoughtful look as he thought of the person who ranked first in the freshman ranking.
He could now condense a petal of a lotus at a time, and if he cultivated twice a day, it would take him six days to complete the Lotus Platform Meditation Method under normal conditions, and his Mental talent would become upper-level.
But that female student named Jane Aiken completed Foundation Establishment in two days. Even if she used resources to nourish her Spirit Power, her basic Spiritual Attribute should be at least 20 points or more.
Moreover, her physical constitution should also be at least 20 points. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to complete the foundation in two days, even if she had resources to replenish Qi Blood.
And there were geniuses like Crystal Leinster who ranked in the top 100, who were expected to complete their Foundation Establishment in four or five days.
Thinking of this, Jack Clark slowly exhaled, suppressing the faint sense of superiority brought by the attribute page, and not underestimating others.
After a short break, Jack Clark continued to practice the Body Casting Skill.
Then he discovered that the cultivation speed had indeed improved, and the flow of Qi Blood in his body had become much richer, and the effect of body refining was better and more sustainable.
It took just forty minutes for Jack Clark to transport Qi Blood for three turns in a row, each turn taking thirteen minutes.
After the cultivation, Jack Clark revealed a satisfied expression on his tired face: “Not bad, both the speed and durability of transportation have improved by half compared to before.”
This time the cultivation progress was +3, Physique +0.1.
Like the Spiritual Attribute, the basic Cultivation Methods’ effects on strengthening the physique were becoming lower and lower. Jack Clark estimated that by the time he reached ten turns, he could increase his physique by at most 2 to 3 points.
However, even so, today’s harvest was still tremendous.
Especially the evolved Avatar, which made Jack Clark realize its potential and importance to him.
But he soon had a headache.
The feeding demand of the evolved Hexagonal Power Lycophyte was simply too large. Although it was only thirty centimeters long, the appetite had increased several times larger than before, requiring several pounds of fish meat in one meal.
“It feels like my family will go bankrupt before long…” In the afternoon, Jack Clark looked at the Avatar, which had grown a centimeter longer, and fell silent.
According to the growth rules of the Avatar, every time it consumed food equal to its size, it would experience micro-growth once. It needed to achieve two consecutive micro-growths to gain 1 point Evolution value.
In other words, the Hexagonal Avatar now had to consume three pounds of fish meat in one meal, twelve pounds in four meals a day, and that was just for now.
In the future, when it grows to sixty or seventy centimeters long or even evolves again to be one or two meters long, maybe it will have to eat one or two hundred pounds of meat a day?
Thinking of this, Jack Clark sighed, “I’ll just set it free after it evolves again.”
The Six-legged Salamander was an amphibious ‘fish’. When it evolved again, Jack Clark was planning to throw it into the river to find food by itself. Luckily, there was a small river not far from his home.
This river extended along the edge of the city, and if you went several dozen miles east, it would reach the entrance of a large river. There was abundant fish food in the river, enough to support the growth of the Avatar afterward.
The reason it wasn’t released now was that it was too dangerous outside.
As the New Era began, it wasn’t just humans who could cultivate and become stronger. Many wild animals also mutated, and many Mutated Beasts appeared.
However, unlike humans who could cultivate and become stronger, the evolution speed of those Mutated Beasts was slow. Most of them were not very strong, and none could resist mankind’s firepower.
Even so, the wilderness was no longer as safe for ordinary people as before.
It wasn’t so bad around the city, as the officials would regularly clean up the area, and upon receiving news of Mutated Beasts appearing in villages and towns, there would be official personnel handling it.
But that wasn’t the case for those untouched deep mountains and old forests where many powerful Unique Beasts were silently evolving. Ordinary people who ventured there were only seeking death.
The most dangerous place, however, was the ocean.
The ocean covered an area several times larger than land, and the deepest parts reached more than 10,000 meters, teeming with a terrifying number of species.
With such a large number, naturally, more Mutated Creatures would emerge.
Especially those whales that were originally huge, and some of the giant bizarre creatures in the deep sea. They were among the first to evolve with the opening of the New Era.
Once these creatures mutated, their power would become terrifying.
Fortunately, these creatures still preferred to live in the depths of the ocean, and the shallow waters were still under human control, allowing ships to sail and catch seafood.
However, the deep-sea areas where Mutated Giant Beasts appeared were already designated as forbidden zones.
By the same logic, shallow waters cannot raise large turtles.
At present, most of the rivers in the mainland were safe.
Although some fish had become much more ferocious, it was not uncommon to see fish of several tens or even hundreds of pounds flipping around, but there had been no incidents of them attacking and eating people.
At least not in the United Federation where he lived. Jack Clark wasn’t sure about other member countries.
