Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 57

Chapter 57: Tearing Claws

TL: Etude

Lin Hao checked the system’s history messages.

“Congratulations to the host for reaching Level 20. Evolution direction being randomly selected… Fish, Python, Salamander… Flood Dragon.”

“Holy shit!”

“Can it actually evolve directly into a dragon!?”

Watching this, Lin Hao’s eyes widened.

So, when he had just reached Level 20, he had almost leaped through the dragon gate!?

But upon closer inspection, each type showed a percentage prompt.

“The evolution direction for fish is 20%, pythons 15%, salamanders 8%, and there are other types occupying percentages of ten, and some with a few points, while the flood dragon is only 0.1%, and the dragon is just 0.01%!”

“0.01?”

“With such a low probability to evolve into a dragon, are you kidding me, system!?”

Seeing this, Lin Hao couldn’t help but complain.

But an eight percent chance to evolve into a salamander wasn’t bad either.

The most famous salamander species was the giant salamander, an amphibian.

This salamander species should be similar to the giant salamander.

And his own species was clearly evolving into a completely new type.

“Ouch, ouch, ouch!”

While Lin Hao was muttering to himself, he vaguely felt a wave of pain from his limbs.

Turning to take a closer look, he could clearly see the flesh on his body rapidly growing, visibly forming the outline of limbs.

And they continued to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Watching this scene, Lin Hao’s eyes were filled with curiosity.

The growth of a creature was truly a wondrous thing.

Especially this process of evolution, it was like watching his limbs grow in a conscious state.

Time ticked by, and Lin Hao’s mind received another refreshed task prompt.

But he didn’t have the time to look at those now; he was fixated on his limbs.

The continuous growth of these limbs was so fascinating just to watch!

About an hour later, the limbs had fully formed!

“Awesome!”

Finally, he had grown limbs!

It wasn’t easy!

He was now trying to control his limbs to swim.

At first, it was a bit clumsy, like dog paddling, but gradually he began to get the hang of it.

He started swimming faster and faster underwater!

His face now showed a look of delight; indeed, having evolved limbs felt amazing!

“Though these limbs are a bit stubby, the front limbs are relatively shorter, while the hind limbs are slightly longer.”

“They have four toes, and the claws don’t seem very sharp.”

After a closer look, he felt a bit disappointed.

Although he had evolved limbs, they still didn’t seem very strong.

“Congratulations to the host on completing the evolution. You’ve obtained a purple treasure chest.”

Soon, the system’s prompt continued.

“Another treasure chest? Well, I did reach Level 20… Holy shit!”

He muttered to himself, then his eyes widened.

After processing the information, he caught a crucial keyword: purple treasure chest!

“A purple treasure chest!”

“Do you want to claim it now?” The system prompt continued.

“Yes!” Lin Hao didn’t hesitate and chose to claim it immediately.

In no time, a treasure chest appeared before him.

Compared to the previous blue treasure chest, this one radiated a purple glow, and its icon looked more luxurious.

“Open it!”

Lin Hao took a deep breath and chose to open it right away.

Creak—

At that moment, with the sound effect of a chest opening, the chest began to slowly open.

Dazzling light started to emerge.

Lin Hao held his breath, his eyes fixed on the opening chest.

Upon closer inspection, he could clearly see many rotating phrases:

Significant Physical Enhancement, Significant Speed Enhancement, Super Powerful Charge, Black Gold Eyes…

All of them were purple!

Beside these phrases, he could also see a small icon emitting a faint purple glow.

Seeing this, he felt a surge of excitement.

Purple-tier items were clearly a notch above the previous blue-tier items!

No matter what he got, it would be a win!

At that moment, the phrases began to rotate faster and faster.

“Ancestors bless me, let it be something good this time!”

Lin Hao prayed earnestly.

Though most phrases were purple, he could vaguely see some pink and even golden phrases among them!

However, the chances seemed extremely low, like winning a grand prize.

He didn’t expect to get something of a higher tier; he just wanted something useful from the purple tier!

Soon, the rotating phrases began to slow down.

Finally, it stopped on one phrase:

Tearing Claws.

“Tearing Claws!?”

“Claws!?”

Seeing the phrase he had obtained, Lin Hao’s eyes widened slightly.

“This is good stuff!”

He felt a surge of joy.

“Congratulations to the host on obtaining Tearing Claws. Do you want to use it now?”

“Yes!”

With the system prompt, Lin Hao immediately chose to use it.

In an instant, a faint purple glow emerged from his nails.

His original nails fell off.

Then new nails grew out.

These nails were noticeably thicker, longer, and sharper!

“Heh heh!”

“They’ve become thicker and longer!”

Watching this, Lin Hao felt a wave of happiness.

As he stared at his claws, he noticed the system prompt:

“Tearing Claws: Sharp claws that cause damage and have a sustained tearing effect.”

“Hmm!?”

Seeing the system prompt, his eyes brightened.

“A sustained tearing effect? Does that mean continuous damage?”

He was very curious.

“Let’s give it a try.”

Lin Hao scanned his surroundings.

After evolving, he felt his field of vision had widened!

He could see more clearly now!

He spotted a wild boar not far away!

“You dare to come over here!”

TL: A flood dragon is a dragon shaped creature living in the rivers and stuff. This is not a dragon, which in China is divine and much more powerful.
