I'm Really Going to Become an Immortal

Chapter 138: Chapter 120 The 6th Evolution! Here it comes!

Breathing had vanished.

Most of the time, it meant death.

Every cell in the human body needs oxygen for aerobic respiration, which is the process where cells break down glucose and other organic materials through oxidation, creating energy stored in the form of adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, for various life activities.

Yet, Chen Yun had just discovered that he no longer needed to breathe, and immediately, a question emerged naturally.

He had not needed to eat or replenish external energy since his first evolution.

Setting aside the exaggerated degree of evolution required to become an Ultimate Creature that doesn’t need an external energy supply,

as early as his first evolution, he should have had no need to breathe.

Without the addition of external substances, where was the need for oxygen to partake in reactions?

However, it was not until this sixth slumber evolution that he no longer needed to breathe.

He pondered.

Chen Yun vaguely had a guess.

Perhaps... his evolutionary mechanism had only just discovered that it no longer required oxygen? Did it simply shut down the previously pretentious act of breathing?

If that were the case,

then the previous him, had he checked the changes in oxygen concentration with each breath, could verify whether it was all for show.

If the oxygen concentration remained unchanged, it would prove that his prior breathing was indeed just a charade, possibly not even involving his lungs.

Regrettably...

now he no longer had the chance to verify whether his previous breathing was for show.

After all, his current state truly required no breathing.

Even if he were to forcefully switch to manual breathing, the oxygen concentration in and out would remain unchanged.

He silently mused for a long while.

Chen Yun suddenly felt that his once cautious and meticulous research might always have been insufficiently professional, with far too many aspects left unconsidered.

He would need to be more careful in the future.

With that thought, Chen Yun began to follow the usual procedure and observe the series of changes brought about by his latest slumber evolution.

First was using spiritual power to scan his body, instantly acquiring precise data about it.

As always, his original physique and stature remained unchanged, still nearly a perfect 175 cm tall male with a well-built physique, weight also consistently at 100 kg. It could be affirmed without doubt that his overall body measurements were temporarily locked by some mechanism.

Next,

Chen Yun started the muscle tremor exercise.

This dual exercise of mind and body quickly began to deplete Chen Yun’s physical energy.

Soon, he reached the nineteen-second mark noted in the previous record, and persisted beyond that.

Until at twenty-four seconds, he could no longer continue, exhausted.

Feeling the emptiness in his body and spiritual power, Chen Yun roughly evaluated his current physical strength.

If before, his normal physical strength was around 3.5 tons, now it seemed to be close to 6 tons, almost doubling.

This brought Chen Yun a burst of joy.

He always believed in the utmost importance of physical strength.

Not to say he could achieve the splendid degree of "shattering all myriad magic with a single punch," but at least he would aim for a modest goal like "one punch to calm the storm."

During the fifth slumber evolution by the seaside last time,

he had greedily chosen two directions and ceased that evolution of the physical body, which had scared him for quite a while.

And now, with the physical aspect of evolution restored,

he couldn’t help but sigh in relief.

Indeed, greedily choosing multiple directions would render one’s evolution process incomplete, overlooking the evolution in physical strength.

This time, having chosen only one direction,

everything was still normal.

Thinking thus, Chen Yun next picked up a glass bottle of snake soup, prepared the night before while cooking.

His eyes emitted a red glow.

Thermal sight targeted the snake soup and was unleashed.

The operation of the thermal sight felt no different than before, still responsive to his will. Its intensity also seemed unchanged.

But...

even after eight seconds, the thermal sight did not stop!

Ten seconds later, the thermal sight continued.

Twelve seconds later, the snake soup began boiling within the glass bottle.

Fifteen seconds.

Accompanying the heat-resistant glass bottle starting to emit blue smoke, Chen Yun’s thermal sight slowly dissipated.

Feeling the surrounding air heat up.

Feeling the soreness in his eyes,

Chen Yun understood that his thermal sight had reached its current limit, which was almost the maximum.

The duration of fifteen seconds was a significant improvement over the past eight seconds.

His thermal sight, which he had not been able to improve through daily exercises, now had indeed received a certain degree of enhancement through slumber evolution.

Although it was still a long way from the short-term goal of one minute, progress was a good thing—at least there was still the possibility of improvement.

Satisfied, Chen Yun nodded, opened the glass bottle, and guzzled down the scalding snake soup, with steam swirling at the bottle’s mouth and around his lips.

A temperature of one hundred degrees was no different from lukewarm water for him. It wasn’t that he couldn’t discern slight temperature differences, but even a hundred degrees was neither painful nor breached his defense.

Even 1500 degrees on his hand was no problem, let alone a mere hundred degrees. Even if his mouth and tongue may not be as resilient as his hands, a hundred degrees was still well within his tolerance.

He swallowed a mouthful of the hot, aromatic snake soup.

Savoring the deliciousness of the soup, he reflected on his ever-improving cooking skills that were fast reaching a point of little space for further enhancement.

Chen Yun then began to test the detailed changes in his other abilities.

His vision, hearing, and sense of smell had all improved to some extent, each intensified by a noticeable amount, though not yet a qualitative change.

However, spiritual power was different.

Its coverage area of one hundred meters had now reached a full two hundred meters.

It had doubled directly.

Or rather, to say it doubled might be somewhat inaccurate.

If considered in terms of volume, the original coverage area of his spiritual power was a spherical space with a radius of one hundred meters centered around himself.

The radius of this spherical space had increased from 100 to 200, meaning the scope of spiritual power coverage had more than merely doubled—it was significantly more exaggerated in terms of the increase in volume.

This was a much stronger improvement than any previous increase in coverage area, and it could even be said to be a qualitative change.

Aside from the first slumber evolution, Chen Yun felt he had never experienced such an explosive upgrade.

In his entire life, Old Chen had never fought such a richly rewarding battle!

Faintly,

he had some guesses about the new ability that had evolved after selecting the dark purple Light Point.

Although he didn’t know exactly what it was,

maybe...

it involved a special ability related to spiritual power?

It added a new feature to his spiritual power?

Thinking it over,

Chen Yun carefully felt and experimented with all the properties his spiritual power currently possessed.

Real-time Information Transmission, 3D Sensory Modeling, Perspective (unable to penetrate organisms), Emotion Perception, Telekinesis, Electromagnetic Wave Perception, Basic Version...

It seemed that each one was no different from before.

The Real-time Information Transmission still transmitted all sorts of information within the perception range without any difference; the newly added range of a hundred meters outside still delivered everything to his mind in real-time without any delay.

The 3D Sensory Modeling was still as clear as ever, with everything within a two-hundred-meter spherical range around him clear at his fingertips.

The Perspective remained as always incapable of penetrating organisms, unable to perform any kind of internal attack maneuvers.

The Basic Version Electromagnetic Wave Perception also showed no change.

Telekinesis, on the other hand, had been boosted to around 50N of strength, which was quite usable.

But since every slumber evolution resulted in an increase in the intensity of telekinesis, this seemed not to count as any new change.

As for the last feature—Emotion Perception,

Chen Yun perceived the excited emotions of the silly dog Bai Jin frolicking about and didn’t notice any changes in this ability.

That is until...

Hmm??!!

Chen Yun’s eyes suddenly widened as he realized a change that was different from before.

His spiritual power...

seemed to be able to touch the emotions of the silly dog Bai Jin on some unknown level!

It was as if its emotions had acquired a tangible form that could be touched by spiritual power!

This was the new ability brought about by touching the dark purple Light Point, or rather an updated feature exclusive to his spiritual power!

And once his spiritual power reached out, he could perceptibly influence the dog’s excitement.

The silly dog Bai Jin, which had been running all over the place, almost immediately stopped dead in its tracks, as if affected by something.

This made Chen Yun somewhat worried, concerned that he might have inadvertently harmed the silly dog Bai Jin.

At the same time, he was full of curiosity.

For Chen Yun, being able to touch the emotions of a living being with spiritual power

was an entirely new domain!

Before his spiritual power could penetrate the physical bodies of organisms, it seemed to have first achieved the feat of touching the spiritual domain of a being.
