Chapter 104 - 71 Intermediate Level Mutant

Chapter 104: Chapter 71 Intermediate Level Mutant

Ji Xinghuo immediately stopped shooting arrows and stood still.

He had experienced an evolution once before, but this was his second evolution, triggered by the accumulation of Star Power to a certain extent, which was different from the initial evolution that involved merging with an Alien Species to acquire Star Power.

Firstly, his sensations had become clearer.

Ether Affinity allowed him to see the reactions of the Ether Energy around him, which seemed to boil over, rushing towards his body rapidly and with increasing intensity and range.

Ji Xinghuo opened the Wanxiang Star Pupil interface, the human silhouette on the right side was flashing, and every Alien Species within his body shimmered with a faint light.

"When life evolves, abilities also get enhanced."

"There’s even a certain chance of advancement."

Thinking this, he looked at the ability information on the left side of the interface. Just then, the progress of Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand had increased slightly to (Third Level 2/1117).

"It really did increase."

Ji Xinghuo was somewhat surprised, but not too astonished.

Apart from himself, other Mutants couldn’t use Spiritual Origin Ability to enhance their abilities; their only method was more practice, but relying solely on training was too inefficient. Therefore, many Mutants could only hope for life evolution, anticipating that it would also enhance their abilities during promotion.

Soon, Ji Xinghuo saw his [Star Power Value] also rise by one, reaching 278.

More and more Ether Energy surged into his body.

In the interface, countless tiny light spots floated within the human silhouette, increasing in number and density, spreading throughout his body.

These light spots were Star Power.

Gradually, the Star Power grew to 279, 280, 281... and after a few minutes, it surpassed 300 and continued to climb.

Ji Xinghuo stood still, feeling comfortable all over. From skin to flesh, from bones to internal organs, trillions of cells throughout his body were nourished by energy, becoming robust and powerful, enhancing their functions, and climbing step by step towards higher forms of life.

He closed his eyes and thought, "This is life evolution!"

Each evolution was a qualitative leap in the essence of life, reaching higher levels.

Even though according to the standards of the Star Realm, this was merely advancing from First Rank to Second Rank, still at the initial stage, this sensation of ascension gave Ji Xinghuo the ultimate satisfaction both physically and psychologically, an unforgettable experience that he would tirelessly pursue in the future.

There was nothing more exhilarating than this!

Ji Xinghuo was immersed in the experience until, after several minutes, the surrounding Ether Energy gradually subsided, and the human silhouette in the interface stopped flashing.

The evolution had ended.

The information on the Wanxiang Star Pupil interface also stopped updating and stabilized.

[Owner of Wanxiang Star Pupil: Ji Xinghuo]

[Race: Human from Earth]

[Rank: Intermediate Mutant]

[Star Power: 347/347]

[Ability: Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand (Third Level 102/1117), Rotating Magnetic Field (Second Level 56/1699), Ether Affinity (Third Level 197/1439)]

[Spiritual Origin Ability: 0]

Ji Xinghuo compared the data before the evolution.

This time he had advanced to an Intermediate Mutant, with a direct increase of 70 points in Star Power. Although the increase seemed small, the amount was significant.

He had speculated before that a Mutant’s second evolution usually added about 30-35 points of Star Power, but his own had doubled, even on the basis of an already profound initial Star Power, once again taking a considerable lead and laying a more solid foundation for the third evolution.

Life evolution was like building construction, the more solid the foundation, the better the effects of later evolutions, and the higher the potential limit.

Ji Xinghuo had no way of knowing the specific Star Power data of other Mutants.

He could only estimate through regular contact that a newly promoted Intermediate Mutant should have about 150 Star Power points, with an error not exceeding 20 points.

At the peak of Intermediate level, they would have about 240 to 260 points.

But now his Star Power was 347!

"Winning at the starting line."

Ji Xinghuo felt delighted, this was because he had merged with three Alien Species as a Primary Level Mutant, including one with Ether Affinity, which made his Star Power much higher than others.

He glanced at the ability information.

All three abilities had gained a slight enhancement during this evolution.

Though still far from upgrading, he had saved nearly 200 points of Spiritual Origin Ability, which was a pleasant surprise.

Next, Ji Xinghuo began to adapt to his evolved body.

Strength, speed, and endurance all enhanced, bench pressing weight broke through 1200 kilograms, running 400 meters in 20 seconds, and completing 10,000 meters in less than 12 minutes.

If he activated Rotating Magnetic Field, his strength and speed could surge again, comparable to a typical Super Mutant!

The physical quality of a Mutant improved most rapidly from Primary to Advanced level, with no bottleneck for the first three ranks, as long as Star Power was sufficiently accumulated, evolution could be triggered.

However, reaching the peak of Advanced level didn’t mean one could directly advance to a Super Mutant.

The biggest enhancement for Super Mutants compared to Advanced Mutants was the increased growth and qualitative change in Star Power, but at this stage, enhancement of physical qualities was not very noticeable, without powerful abilities, the strength and speed were almost at the limit of normal flesh and bones.

The differences between Professional Templates and abilities began to become prominent.

Some non-physically enhancing professions, like a Master, wouldn’t have much better physical qualities than Ji Xinghuo now.

That’s why Ji Xinghuo was able to kill the female Master from the Myriad Beast Garden with three arrows, and so could Shadow Blade Ji Zongbang.

If I switched to a physically strong profession, I wouldn’t stand a chance.

"The body is the capital of revolution."

"Thick blood, high defense, a strong body, that’s how you live longer!"

"Hexagonal warriors are the real deal!"

Ji Xinghuo, feeling the strength of his body after evolution and combining it with his own experiences, reached this conclusion. If he kept going down the Ranger path, one wrong move could leave him in the same plight as Shadow Blade Ji Zongbang and the female Master.

Upon advancing to an Intermediate Mutant, one could fuse with an Ability.

Ji Xinghuo could hardly wait.

He left the training room and as he passed by the garden, he saw Ren Mian sitting on the swing, reading a book.

Several broad-leafed plants formed a sun shade above her head, blocking the fierce sunlight. Beside her, another plant with leaves that could rotate like a windmill continuously provided her with a breeze, keeping the swing cool.

Ji Xinghuo was accustomed to this scene.

Ren Mian tended the garden daily and occasionally disappeared for a few hours, but most of the time, she was at home reading, drawing, and sometimes playing the musical instruments. She knew how to play many instruments like the guzheng, piano, and flute with a high level of proficiency, but she was never seen Cultivating.

Placed in ancient times, she would be a well-educated lady of high status, also a beauty capable of causing the downfall of cities and states.

"Sister Ren," Ji Xinghuo called out.

Ren Mian lifted her gaze from the book, and after a glance at him, she expressed surprise, "You advanced?"

"Yes."

Ji Xinghuo wanted to share his joy with her first.

"Not bad, not bad!" Ren Mian eyed him carefully, with surprise evident in her eyes, she exclaimed, "Your talent really exceeded expectations. In just seven months, you went from an ordinary person to an Intermediate Mutant. It’s been almost two hundred years since the Opening of the Star Gate, and the whole of humankind can hardly find anyone quicker than you."

"Without your nurturing, I could not have improved this fast," Ji Xinghuo sincerely thanked her.

Ren Mian smiled and shook her head, "You’re hardworking and talented, I merely gave you a push. Even without me, you would have shone eventually."

Despite her words, her face was filled with a sense of achievement.

"Let’s go."

Ren Mian put down her book, "Now that you’ve advanced, you can fuse with an Alien Species. Let’s head to the Dragon Watch Platform now, Selena should have prepared the Alien Coexistence for you."

The two left together, and as usual, Ji Xinghuo rented a large tame wind deer for them to ride together.

As the large tame wind deer ran, Ji Xinghuo placed his hand on Ren Mian’s waist, to which she had no reaction, as if she was used to it.

They soon arrived at the Dragon Watch Platform.

Upon entering the inner mall, it was still the usual deserted scene.

Just as they entered Selena’s room, they saw her get up and excitedly say, "Miss Ren, your timing is perfect. The Alien Coexistence you requested arrived the day before yesterday."

Ji Xinghuo’s heart leaped with joy, but his expression remained calm.

Ren Mian simply nodded slightly, "What a coincidence, let me take a look."

Selena took out a beautifully crafted box and slid it across the table after opening it. Inside lay an odd-looking Alien Species, resembling a lump of sludge with a murky color, slowly moving within the small box like a live creature, occasionally emitting a few pungent odors.

"This is Alien Coexistence?" Ji Xinghuo was astonished.

He had never seen any information about Alien Coexistence before, and without internet in Olympia, gathering information was inconvenient, so this was his first time seeing it in person.

"Yes, Mr. Ji," Selena, having met Ji Xinghuo several times and recognizing his surname, introduced, "This Alien Species, we acquired at a great cost from an Alien Species company, it’s definitely genuine and ready for fusion any time."

"How much?" Ren Mian asked.

"58 million," Selena responded sincerely, "That’s our acquisition cost. It’s marked up by about 60%. Miss Ren, would you accept that?"

Ji Xinghuo was shocked by the price.

That meant the original price of Alien Coexistence was around 36 million, which seemed excessively marked up.

Yet Ren Mian did not even frown, "I’ll take it."

As she spoke, she pulled out a lush and tempting fruit about the size of an apricot, all of them expansion marvels known as Sky Blue Fruit, totaling seven.

Placing the Sky Blue Fruit on the table, they rolled around a few times, not that anyone would recognize them as anything but ordinary fruit.

Selena quickly cupped her hands around them to prevent them from rolling off.

"Still the same price, one Sky Blue Fruit for 30 million. Two for the Alien Coexistence, with an extra two hundred thousand as your personal tip. Transfer the money for the other five to my bank account," Ren Mian crisply concluded the deal.

"Yes, it will be in your account within half an hour," Selena’s face lit up with a smile, "Thank you, Miss Ren, for your trust in Dragon Watch Platform and for your support of me."

These seven Sky Blue Fruits were worth 210 million, but what they could obtain in exchange was worth far more than just money!

She herself would reap great benefits as well.

Ren Mian nodded, picked up the Alien Species, and left with Ji Xinghuo. Back at the villa, she handed the box containing the Alien Species to Ji Xinghuo, quietly saying, "You can try to merge now."

Ji Xinghuo did not say any words of thanks.

His hand lightly touched the Alien Species, and immediately, interface information appeared before his eyes.

[Alien Species: Alien Coexistence]

[Grade: Transcendent]

[Fusion Success Rate: 97%]

[Upgradeable: Yes]
