Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 284

Chapter 284: Absorbing Crystal Core Energy, Comprehensive Enhancement!

TL: Etude

After finding a suitable location, Lin Hao checked his evolution points:

Evolution Points: 9,617,000 / 9,000,000

“Now, these evolution points are just enough for an upgrade.”

Although he had only devoured the Ice Crystal Water Snake and the Mutant Sea Eel today, the evolution points he had gained were more than sufficient for the required upgrade.

As he deducted the nine hundred evolution points, Lin Hao slowly closed his eyes.

“Huh!? Why am I not falling asleep!?”

However, in the next moment, his just-closed eyes suddenly snapped open.

He realized that although the evolution points had been deducted, he hadn’t fallen into a state of slumber!

Moreover, in that instant, an intense pain began to spread throughout his entire body!

The pain was so severe it felt as though his entire body was being torn apart!

“Damn it!”

“It’s just like before…”

At this moment, his body suddenly became extremely hot.

The surrounding pond water began to boil.

The other koi fish around him instantly fled to another part of the Hualong Pond as if escaping a disaster.

Luckily, the Hualong Pond was large enough, and with their noticeably evolved bodies, otherwise, these koi would have been cooked.

However, this intense heat didn’t last long. His body began to turn cold again, and soon after, it started emitting electric currents!

Whether it was the high temperature, the low temperature, or the electric currents, it seemed like they were all wreaking havoc on his body!

In just a short amount of time, his body was damaged to the point of being bloody and battered.

“It hurts like hell…”

At this moment, Lin Hao gritted his teeth.

But during the destructive process, his body began to recover.

The recovery speed was rapid, and with the influence of regeneration, his injuries healed significantly in a short time.

However, just as he had barely recovered, a powerful energy began to destroy his body again.

It hurt like hell!

This cycle of destruction, regeneration, and further destruction continued endlessly!

…

“With this, the tablet can be waterproof, and the glass on the screen is made of a special material, so it shouldn’t get damaged unless scratched forcefully.”

In a dormitory at the headquarters, Luo Xue was making a special tablet computer.

The screen of this tablet was twenty-four inches, completely waterproof, and the back was equipped with a solar panel for automatic charging.

The screen was made of special glass with very strong defense capabilities.

This was prepared for Lin Hao.

With this, Lin Hao could keep up with news from the human world in real time.

“I wonder how he’s doing now.”

After finishing the tablet, Luo Xue stretched and smiled.

“Can this really absorb the energy inside?”

At this moment, she picked up a crystal core placed on the table.

The crystal core still emitted a faint red glow, and just by looking at it, one could clearly feel the rich energy inside it.

To become stronger, absorbing only the source energy in the air wasn’t enough.

The special energy originating from the universe had already weakened considerably by the time it reached Earth.

Relying on this energy to cultivate and become stronger in a short period was too difficult.

However, the energy inside the crystal core was almost the same as that source energy!

It could also be absorbed and extracted!

“But the extraction method is very difficult. Using the cultivation techniques I’ve learned to extract the energy inside…”

She stood up with the crystal core, then sat cross-legged on the empty ground nearby.

She had tried for a long time today but still couldn’t find a way to absorb and extract the energy inside.

But now wasn’t the time to give up.

She continued to try.

As long as she could extract and absorb the energy inside, her strength would increase more rapidly.

Taking a deep breath, she continued her attempts.

Time ticked by, and during the process, she felt fatigue setting in, beginning to sweat profusely.

It wasn’t until past six in the morning, just when she was about to rest due to exhaustion, that Luo Xue suddenly sensed a faint trace of energy being extracted from the crystal core!

“Huh!?”

Feeling drowsy, she instantly perked up.

“It seems… I can extract it!”

Surprised and delighted, she took a deep breath to calm herself.

She carefully recalled her previous operations and repeated them.

Gradually, she could clearly see a faint dark red energy, like wisps of smoke, being drawn out from the crystal core and entering her body.

“I did it…”

Luo Xue’s eyes widened. After calming herself down, she continued to absorb the energy and used it to temper her physical body.

The cultivation process primarily involved absorbing cosmic energy to refine the body.

It strengthened her flesh, bones, fascia, and even her cells in coordination with the virus’s influence and this cosmic energy.

In essence, it was a process of self-evolution!

However, this process came with intense pain!

It felt like being pricked by needles!

But Luo Xue didn’t mind; she continued to focus entirely on absorbing the energy from the crystal core.

Immersed in her cultivation state, she became oblivious to everything around her.

…

Meanwhile, in Longyin City, at Dragon Mountain!

Splash!

A massive figure suddenly burst out from the Hualong Pond.

It soared directly towards the sky!

Like a flood dragon emerging from the sea, it flew high into the air!

Boom!

At this moment, Lin Hao unleashed an incredibly powerful energy, shooting straight up!

His entire body radiated strong electric energy!

It seemed as though the sky was filled with the sound of immense lightning.

However, he didn’t fly very high before his body fell back down and re-entered the Hualong Pond!

Splash!

A huge spray of water splashed all around.

“Awesome!”

“I didn’t expect my strength to increase this much!”

Lin Hao emerged from the water, revealing his enormous body.

After this evolution, his entire body underwent significant changes.

Even his skeletal structure had altered somewhat.

Now, apart from his head and tail still having some newt features, the rest of his body looked unmistakably like that of a flood dragon.

“During yesterday’s intense process of destruction and repair, my physical body has strengthened a lot.”

“Moreover, my abilities with flames, frost, and electricity seem to have improved.”

Looking at his body, Lin Hao’s eyes were filled with joy.

This upgrade to level fifty-five brought a far greater enhancement than the upgrade from fifty-two to fifty-four!

Congratulations, Host, on reaching level fifty-five.

Congratulations, Host, on obtaining a Pink Treasure Chest.

At that moment, the system’s notification sounded again!

A Pink Treasure Chest!

“This time, give me a golden skill!”
