Virus King - Chapter 160

Chapter 160: Growth-Type Weapon! Terrifying General Evolution Points!

TL: YYang

Amid the radiant light was an indescribable warmth.

This feeling made Chen Bai pause slightly, bewildered.

What was going on!?

He looked toward his backpack, at what had once been nothing more than a pile of scrap metal.

But now, it seemed as though it had been swapped with something else entirely. The dazzling brilliance it emitted made him squint instinctively!

On top of that light, there was an undeniable purifying power!

Chen Bai reached out and grasped it directly. However, it felt as though his bare hand had clutched a searing hot iron.

A sharp sizzling sound made him instinctively release it, but he quickly grabbed hold of it again!

At the same time, the piece of scrap metal he had acquired from the secret realm dungeon now displayed a familiar attribute panel before his eyes.

[Spear of Longinus (F-Rank)]
[Weapon Type: Polearm (Evolvable)]
[All Attributes: +2]
[Darkness Banishment: Deals +200% damage to all heretical evil entities.]
[Spear of Light: Killing evil creatures grants experience. Upon reaching max experience, it evolves. Current experience: (0/10).]

(P.S.: A legendary spear said to have been stained by the Holy Son’s blood of light. After descending onto Blue Star in the Trial Grounds, this ancient weapon once again shines with its brilliance, purifying the world!)

“???”

Staring at the spear that now radiated warmth and power, Chen Bai’s forehead rapidly filled with question marks.

What the hell was this!?

Something from history had been brought out by him, not only materializing but also transforming into a weapon within the Trial Grounds?

And more importantly, it was a rare growth-type weapon!?

Killing so-called evil beings to gain experience?

Chen Bai glanced at his hand, slightly reddened where the spear had pricked it.

In this spear’s perception, was he classified as an evil being as well!?

Otherwise, why wouldn’t it let him wield it without resistance!?

Chen Bai blinked, and a thought suddenly surfaced in his mind. He remembered a certain Emperor-level powerhouse from the Western Church in his previous life.

In the hands of that Emperor-level powerhouse from the Western Church, there was also a similar spear. However, it was said to be an SS-Rank treasure.

Now, Chen Bai couldn’t help but wonder—was it possible that spear was the evolved form of this one?

The thought sent a surge of excitement through him.

Goodness!

If this weapon could grow to S-Rank or beyond, even if he couldn’t use it, it could drastically weaken the fighting power of the Evolvers from the Western nations!

It was a valuable treasure.

Though it seemed useless to him personally, there was no reason he couldn’t let someone else wield it in the future!

However, as he looked at the Spear of Longinus, another thought crept into his mind.

Previously, he had suspected that something was unique about Blue Star.

While the God and Devil Trial Grounds existed across the myriad worlds, only on Blue Star did native items transform into transcendent objects upon the arrival of the Trial Grounds.

This alone spoke volumes.

Not to mention that countless legends throughout history confirmed the existence of certain truths.

Chen Bai recalled the most powerful Emperor of Dragon Nation from his previous life—a revived figure who had even set one foot into the demigod realm. His eyes narrowed slightly.

Blue Star’s secrets were something he was determined to uncover someday.

Aside from this lofty ambition, Chen Bai also felt a deep sense of regret!

If he had known earlier that the relics within historical cathedrals could not only be brought out but also evolve into actual equipment instead of mere scrap, he would’ve ransacked every inch of those churches before leaving!

Holy Crosses, Shroud of Turin, and all those other odds and ends—he could have at least had some fun playing around with them!

Shaking his head in regret, Chen Bai quickly reined in his thoughts.

He tossed the Spear of Longinus back into his backpack. It was troublesome to use, and the rank was currently too low to be of practical value.

Still, the idea it represented left Chen Bai itching with excitement.

Even for real god-level beings, treasures of this caliber weren’t easily accessible!

And yet, here he was, a person so upright and righteous, being rejected by the Spear of Longinus?

It didn’t make sense!

Chen Bai sighed to himself as he leapt into the air once more.

In the suburbs of Magic City, many residences had been abandoned due to the zombie chaos.

Chen Bai casually chose one and walked right in.

While he didn’t have any particular demands for his living environment, he avoided the densely populated communal apartments.

Such places, with their high population density, were more prone to unexpected incidents, which could interfere with his upcoming plans.

Thus, he opted for a standalone villa in the outskirts.

The surroundings were pleasant.

Even in the outskirts of Magic City, every inch of land was precious. This villa, spanning several hundred square meters, had been decorated in a warm and inviting style.

There were no signs of zombies or corpses, though traces of blood remained in some places.

Clearly, when the apocalypse erupted, this place had also borne witness to human tragedy.

Chen Bai entered a bedroom at random, shut the door, and collapsed onto the bed.

His consciousness slowly sank into his innate talent.

The Virus Sovereign Talent Tree appeared as it always did.

As soon as his awareness reached this space, feedback came rushing in:

[Virus Sovereign (SSS)]
[Description: You possess unparalleled mastery over all bacteria and viruses. Any type of virus can be utilized by you! Upon absorbing or coming into contact with bacteria or viral infections, you gain evolution points, which can unlock new abilities. Current evolution points: 93 (exclusive Darklight Virus evolution points: 10).]

“93 points!?”

Chen Bai blinked in mild surprise. However, considering the sheer number of Plague Fungal Viruses he had absorbed and dominated at the Plague Chemical Plant, the number made sense.

It was a terrifying amount, but not entirely unexpected.

Subtracting the 10 points allocated to the Darklight Virus, he still had a staggering 83 general evolution points to spend!

As Chen Bai began deliberating on which aspect of his abilities to evolve next, in the hidden underground basement beneath the villa, two petite figures clung tightly to each other. They shivered in unison, clearly startled by the noises coming from above.
