NOVEL NEXT Chapter 13
Early Stage Level One
Under Quicksand Lake, the 1.5-meter-long electric eel dragged a carp into the hole. As the carp was swallowed and digested bit by bit, the experience points finally reached its maximum threshold.
[Your Soul Clone has finished eating, one experience point gained.]
[Congratulations on your electric eel clone advancing to the early stage of level one!]
As it accumulated 100 experience points, the electric eel immediately trembled, and a majestic and powerful force burst from its body!
The fish and prawns that were lying around the cave immediately ran away when they sensed this powerful aura!
In the hole, the power recovered from the electric eel’s body slowly flowed to the electric eel’s mouth and skin.
Under the effect of this force, the electric eel’s upper and lower jaws began to grow hard and sharp teeth!
At the same time, the electric eel’s originally smooth skin began to grow hard scales!
When Chu Lingjun sensed this scene, he was instantly overjoyed!
The weakness of the electric eel clone had always been obvious, and tonight’s evolution made up for two shortcomings!
First, with teeth, the electric eel could finally hunt some creatures!
It was unlike before, when every time he hunted, he had to pick and choose his meals. He could only hunt some small fish and prawns, worried that he would be swallowed to death by anything bigger.
Second, with the protection of the harder scales, the electric eel’s safety was also guaranteed. Now, there was no need to be afraid of getting attacked by another bigger beast.
A moment later, the electric eel reappeared after its evolution.
Its grayish body was covered by snakehead fish scales. The scales were hard and shone with a metallic luster.
Its mouth was also filled with sharp teeth that flashed brightly.
The original electric eel, with green bean eyes and a foolish gaze, always looked a little harmless and funny. Now that the electric eel was covered in armor and had teeth, it finally looked like a powerful beast.
The electric eel successfully evolved, and a powerful force immediately fed back to Chu Lingjun from his split body.
Chu Lingjun, who was lying on the bed, instantly felt a strong surge of vitality enter his body.
Under the influence of this vitality, Chu Lingjun’s body grew bigger!
His arms and back also had a faint muscle line. He went from 1.75 meters to 1.77 meters!
Moreover, the spiritual power fed back from the electric eel’s clone felt dignified!
Chu Lingju’s mind raced. He could recall everything he had seen, heard, and listened to in the past few days.
The few functional equations that he couldn’t solve during math class in the day could now be easily understood and solved!
The spiritual energy and elemental energy around him became more sensitive and subtle!
Chu Lingjun felt the changes in his body happily and opened his attribute panel.
[Vitality: 16]
[Spirit: 37]
[Talent: Soul Clone (Electric Eel)]
[Cultivation technique: Cannon Fist (16/100/beginner), Fifth National Military Boxing Style (10/100/Beginner), Twelve Floors Visualization Methods (20/100/Beginner)]
…
[Name: Electric Eel]
[Level: Early stage level one]
[Experience: 0/1000]
[Talent: Lightning Control]
[Skills: First-grade Electric Discharge (0/1000), First-grade Electric Field (0/1000)]
“I’ll go!”
Chu Lingjun was overjoyed when he saw his stats panel!
In the past three days, his vitality had increased by three points.
This time, the electric eel had upgraded to an early stage level one beast, which added another five points of vitality, bringing his total vitality to 16 points!
No wonder Chu Lingjun’s physical fitness has improved so much!
As for his spiritual force, it had improved by leaps and bounds!
He felt good!
Moreover, his martial arts cultivation had also increased. It was a pleasant experience to have such an upgrade.
After the electric eel advanced to an early-stage level one beast, the next upgrade required more experience points — a full 1000 points!
However, the biggest good news was that as the electric eel advanced, its two skills were also upgraded to level one skills.
Chu Lingjun immediately gave it a try. The range of the electric discharge skill had increased from 10 meters to 50 meters, and its power had also increased by one or twofold.
The radius of the electric field was also increased from 10 meters to 50 meters, which was exactly what he needed.
The electric eel swam out of the hole, feeling like a king.
As soon as the surrounding fish felt the aura of the electric eel, they immediately fled as far away as possible.
A half-meter-long golden carp was about to leave when a blue electric arc shot out at lightning speed!
The golden carp’s body instantly stiffened and trembled. Then, in the next second, its eyes turned white and it swam up.
The electric eel swam over and opened its mouth to chomp down. The lake water instantly turned red.
[Your Soul Clone has finished eating, one experience point gained.]
The half-meter-long golden carp was immediately stuffed by the electric eel. It then lazily returned to the hole to digest the food.
In the room, Chu Lingjun frowned as he watched this scene.
“Now that the electric eel has leveled up, the experience provided by these ordinary small fish won’t be enough.”
Chu Lingjun shook his head slightly. Previously, the electric eel had gained one experience point from hunting small carps the size of a palm.
The golden carp in front of him was half a meter long. Logically speaking, the experience points should be higher. In the end, it only gave one experience point.
The electric eel’s next upgrade required 1000 experience points!
Chu Lingjun understood that after the electric eel advanced to a level one exotic beast, the ordinary creatures in the park will no longer meet the requirements for upgrading.
“I should move the electric eel to Lianjiang tomorrow, otherwise it would take too long to upgrade.” Chu Lingjun quickly made a decision.
After leveling up, Chu Lingjun tried to cultivate his martial arts.
After his vitality had increased, the two sets of punches became much easier to execute. Their power had also increased greatly. With more time, his proficiency increased even faster.
The Twelve Floors Visualization Method had also helped him progress further than he expected!
This was the benefit of leveling up. It could increase the power of the move, and the increase in the power of the move would make it easier to obtain resources. In turn, it would increase the cultivation progress of the cultivation technique, forming a positive cycle.
…
Fang Shuping came out of the kitchen with breakfast in her hands. At this moment, she happened to see Chu Lingjun, who had just woken up and walked out of his room.
Fang Shuping was baffled. She placed the breakfast on the table and rubbed her eyes before looking at Chu Lingjun.
“Lingjun, why do you… Look taller… And stronger?”
Fang Shuping walked to Chu Lingjun’s side in surprise. He definitely grew taller!
Chu Lingjun had grown taller!
“My cultivation has been going well recently.” Chu Lingjun replied casually.
“Really? That’s great!”
Although Fang Shuping was a little confused as to why increasing his superpower would increase his height, she still felt happy with the news.
These few days, she had specially asked around how superpowers work. Chu Lingjun’s talent in school was going well, and he was basically at the top of his game!
Now that she heard that Chu Lingjun seemed to have achieved success in his cultivation, she felt even happier.
His life was just getting started!
Although Chu Lingjun had only awakened his superpower for a few days, his cultivation increased manifold! It seemed that he finally could be useful to his family.
However, Fang Shuping truly felt that his life had undergone earth-shattering changes!
In the past, whenever she brought Chu Yue out, she would always be laughed at.
Now, all these side-eyes have disappeared, and all that was left were all kinds of greetings and kindness.
A friend whom they had not contacted for a long time suddenly contacted them again.
The relatives who had not visited for a long time had come to visit one after another in the past few days.
They even generously said that Fang Shuping did not need to return the money she borrowed previously.
Moreover, Chu Xingguo called to say that he had received a lot of care recently.
