The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

A day has passed, and Ji Chen's appearance has changed drastically.

It is grayish-green overall, with spiked protrusions on its head, large and round purplish-red eyes, and its body is covered with spiked scales.

The barbs that originally developed to adapt to the terrestrial environment have turned into short limbs and small black claws.

After eating the food brought by the human host, Ji Chen rested for an hour or two to recover before immediately starting the upgrade driven by electric current.

Thunder Tail Whip and Scale Armor have also been upgraded again.

. . . . . .

The lightning flashed intensely, and steam rose from the water's surface.

"Hmm~"

After the upgrade, a sense of fulfillment arose spontaneously.

[Name: Yoda]

[Skills: Electric Thrust Lv2, Adaptive Evolution Lv1, Thunder Tail Whip Lv3, Scale Armor Lv3]

[Base stats: 340/310 (Tier 1)]

【属性：体15→30，神28→40，气15→30】

"Huh, it only has 340 hidden base stats. Is it because after breaking the base stat cap, it becomes much harder to break through each hidden base stat? Otherwise, with my current skill level, it should be around 400 at least."

With this thought in mind, Ji Chen did not hesitate at all, nor was he willing to hesitate. Almost the instant a sense of fulfillment arose, he had already activated the accelerated learning mode for the new skill.

[Currently learning: Lightning Cleave]

Skill Level: lv0 (Beginner)

[Calculating the rarity and difficulty of being struck by lightning based on the apostle's qualifications...]

[Calculation complete. Do you wish to consume 5 Dimensional Points to activate the cultivation acceleration function?]

[Currently studying: Electric Power Grid]

Skill Level: lv0 (Beginner)

[Calculations are being made based on the apostle's qualifications, the rarity of the power grid, and the difficulty level...]

[Calculation complete. Do you wish to consume 10 Dimensional Points to activate the cultivation acceleration function?]

[Learning: Crossing the Power Grid]

. . . . . .

Evolutionary energy surged forth.

Ji Chen felt his flesh and blood cheering, like parched land receiving sweet rain, with countless new shoots breaking through the soil, as if all things were growing and boundless vitality was pouring in.

He could clearly feel his tendons growing, and his body shape and joints being regenerated, extended, and changed.

Everything is developing in a good direction.

But just as Ji Chen was about to finish learning his third skill, the new panel data suddenly refreshed.

The skill learning data that was originally lit up suddenly crashed and disappeared from the panel logs.

The evolution of a first-tier race is brief; Ji Chen completed his evolution in less than fifteen minutes.

Naturally, the attempt to acquire the third skill, "Electric Grid Shuttle," failed.

Ji Chen sighed softly and didn't press the matter.

In this situation, learning something new is a gain; you've already gained two new skills.

Just then...

[...A normal fluctuation in the world's rules has been detected, but the Apostle has been subjected to abnormal interference. You have gained a new talent: Blessing of Water.]

Water's Blessing: You naturally possess extremely high affinity for water, allowing you to initially utilize the power of water elements without any special skills.

[...Abnormal fluctuations in Apostle data detected. Your talent (Electric Affinity) has been enhanced and upgraded to Lightning Walker.]

Lightning Walker: You can sense and guide microscopic ions and bioelectricity, control visible currents as if they were your own, and create lightning at will without any skill.

[Name: Yoda]

[Talent: Blessed by Water, Lightning Walker]

[Skills: Electric Thrust Lv2, Adaptive Evolution Lv2, Thunder Tail Whip Lv3, Scale Armor Lv3, Lightning Strike Lv1, Electric Net Lv1]

[Base stats: 410/720 (Tier 2)]

Attack 32, Defense 37, Speed ​​20, Energy 34, Spirit 43

Ji Chen flicked his agile and powerful tail, looked at the data on the panel, and was quite satisfied.

With his limbs outstretched, Ji Chen suddenly realized that, under the potential influence of adaptive evolution, he was now able to stand up.

He suddenly stood up on his hind legs, and the three-meter-long whip-like tail swept across the stream, which was only a little over a hundred meters long. The water surface was turbulent.

This stream can no longer contain this enormous creature, which is nearly ten meters long and weighs a hundred tons.

He desperately needs a larger new territory for him to continue to develop and move freely.

After poking his head out of the water and walking on land for a while, Ji Chen lay back down.

No rush, there's still room for growth.

The larger size can still be raised.

"Roar... Oh, cough, I am Yoda."

With adjustments to his voice and the spontaneous adaptation of his larynx, Ji Chen quickly gained the ability to engage in verbal conversation.

Silver Wolf had traveled some distance among the third-tier creatures before gaining the ability to communicate, but Ji Chen had already acquired this ability at the second-tier stage.

Similarly, even if he were placed in front of that third-tier silver wolf, Apostle Yoda, while not necessarily able to win, would certainly be able to remain undefeated.

Zla—

The dense electric grid, centered on Ji Chen, spread out like silver snakes, instantly covering an area of ​​ten meters in radius. Even the air, which had no medium for propagation, was filled with sparse lightning.

Within the power grid's range, each strand of silver snake can unleash tens of thousands of volts of electricity; an ordinary person entering would die instantly.

Most evolved organisms at this stage will also lose their ability to resist upon contact, falling into paralysis and rigidity.

Ji Chen estimated it using his real name, "Chu Junhui".

Fourth-order evolved creatures can easily fall into a brief state of paralysis if they are not careful, and staying within the range of the electric grid for an extended period of time can also be life-threatening.

This is lightning, the most powerful single natural disaster in the natural world.

The fact that the current propulsion at level 2 was already so powerful made Ji Chen even more satisfied with this apostle.

At the same time, his powerful physique naturally endowed him with even greater strength.

Even with the same numerical value, the larger the physique, the stronger the power that the other side can exert.

Cruise, adapt to the land.

Now that Ji Chen has grown four legs, he can run wildly on land, like a heavy truck. Although his speed is not very fast, he has gained a ticket to enter the land and compete with many evolved creatures.

It continues to devour the flesh and blood of the silver wolf, attempting to acquire the silver wolf's mutated abilities through adaptive evolution.

During his brief encounter with Silver Wolf, Ji Chen had already sensed Silver Wolf's extraordinary abilities.

At the very least, being able to maintain an energy shield and withstand one of his attacks would already be enough to crush a host of evolved creatures.

Even if he couldn't acquire the ability from that low-probability event, the silver wolf's flesh and blood were still the resources for Ji Chen to continue cultivating, supporting the rapid switching of his skill learning acceleration mode.

night.

Just as Ji Chen was so engrossed in improving his strength that he couldn't pull himself away, several shooting stars suddenly streaked across the night sky, leaving orange-red flames that illuminated the wilderness.

Ji Chen's heart tightened.

The meteorite eventually arrived in D City.

Boom-!

The first meteorite, like a white rainbow piercing the sun, carrying immense gravitational potential energy, crashed heavily fifty miles outside D City!

The larger version of "Chu Junhui" leaped onto the rooftop, where a blinding light, like a nuclear bomb, erupted. Then, a shockwave, accompanied by a deafening roar, swept across the area.

Centered on the point of impact, the rocks and earth were lifted up layer by layer like crispy cookies, turning into a destructive wave of earth and stone that swept outwards.

The tremor was felt in an instant, and the high-rise buildings throughout the city shook, with panicked screams echoing everywhere.

Countless lights went out in an instant.

Ji Chen sighed softly.

Good work, but no reward.

(I'm stuck on thinking of a name for the talent. If any readers can provide me with inspiration for the subsequent skills and talents, it should have a sense of progression, especially the names!!)
