I can evolve everything

Chapter 123 Evolution of the Golden Finger

The ancient stone platform in front, which had once held the sphere, had changed: the sphere that had been floating on it had disappeared.

The surface of the stone platform was now covered by a layer of liquid that seemed to be alive, constantly flowing. This liquid was slowly flowing down the surface of the stone platform, as if it had a life of its own, seeping into the floor of the corridor and disappearing from sight.

Raine looked up as the light shone down the right side of the corridor.

The gray mist that had always shrouded the stone walls there had somehow dissipated.

Beyond the mist, a stone wall that had been hidden for so long was revealed.

The stone walls were covered with densely packed, unfamiliar characters and countless geometric patterns. Most importantly, they did not appear to be inanimate objects; instead, they emitted an extremely faint glow within the corridor.

Although the text before him was unlike any he had ever seen before, for some reason he could understand its meaning. It was as if the meaning of the text had been directly instilled into him, clearly emerging in his mind.

This is a fragmentary record from an ancient era.

That ancient sphere was not merely a strange object, but a relic of an ancient civilization that had long been lost to the river of time.

It was created by some ancient spellcasters who had a profound understanding of the nature of energy and matter. This misty corridor even seems to be the goal, or rather the lifelong pursuit, of these ancient spellcasters.

After the sphere evolved into the [Mist Corridor - Anchor Point], it seemed to have filled in some of the incomplete rules of the corridor, making it more complete and naturally more powerful.

Raine reached out and gently touched the faintly glowing characters on the stone wall.

Buzz—

A sharp, fleeting burning sensation traveled upstream from his fingertips, sending a shiver down Rein's spine.

The pain was brief, but it was followed by a new piece of information appearing in Renn's mind.

He instantly understood what changes had occurred in the corridor's operating mechanism.

Raine turned around and looked towards the center of the corridor.

The once solitary stone platform has now silently cracked open from the middle.

Two perfectly symmetrical black stone pillars rise slowly from both sides of the corridor.

The stone pillar on the left has a pitted and uneven surface. The stone pillar on the right, however, has a smooth, mirror-like surface.

Two parallel lines.

This is the new privilege granted to Raine after the evolution of the Misty Corridor.

From then on, he could lock onto two targets at the same time and conduct separate simulations.

However, significant limitations still exist, and the distinctions are clear:

The pillar on the left can only hold physical objects from the real world, such as Renn's two-handed greatsword. The pillar on the right, however, can only hold more abstract things, such as a memory of battle, or a skill or breathing technique that has only been superficially mastered.

The two are independent and strictly separated. One cannot simultaneously practice two sets of swordsmanship on both sides, nor can one simultaneously enhance two weapons.

Rennes was very satisfied with this new mechanism.

This means that he no longer needs to abandon the evolution of all real-world objects in order to maintain the evolution of his breathing technique.

For Renn, if the Evolution Breathing Technique weren't currently the fastest way for him to improve his strength, he would have long wanted to try to evolve some of the items he had on hand in the real world.

However, the new features added to the Misty Corridor this time don't stop there.

Renn's gaze slowly moved down and landed on the ground between the two stone pillars.

The original floor there has now sunk downwards, forming a shallow circular pit about half a meter in diameter.

The information that suddenly appeared in Renn's mind told him that this thing was called an energy storage tank.

Prior to this, the Mist Corridor operated by instantly consuming its reserve energy and evolving accordingly.

After Ryan locked onto the target and activated the simulation function.

Raine's reserve energy will be gradually depleted and invested in the consumption of deduction and evolution.

Now, the rules have been rewritten.

Rennes no longer needs to perform simulations immediately.

Even without performing simulations, he can now optimize his physical and mental state within the safe fortress.

Then, he can actively free up excess energy from his body that exceeds his daily needs.

These stripped-off reserve energies do not vanish into thin air, but are guided and condensed by the corridor, eventually falling into this energy storage pool, where they gradually transform into a strange, dark red liquid that quietly settles at the bottom of the pool.

Once these liquids accumulate to a sufficient quantity, he can instantly pour them onto the stone pillars on both sides when needed, accelerating the progress of the deduction.

No more agonizing waits. No more days or months of waiting and expending energy.

With ample energy reserves, he can complete an evolution and reorganization of his weapon the instant he draws his sword to meet the enemy, or he can forcefully push a life-saving combat skill to a proficient level when facing a desperate situation!

This is a truly absolute trump card.

However, there are some limitations to using energy storage. First, energy storage has a capacity limit, and it can currently only store a month's worth of reserve energy. Also, there is a cooldown period when using energy storage for simulations, so it seems that it can only be used once a month.

After confirming the new function of the Misty Corridor, Raine had a thought and withdrew his consciousness from the Misty Corridor.

In the real world, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Ryan rolled out of bed and walked to the wooden table.

There was dried meat on the table. Without any hesitation, he grabbed some with his hands and put it in his mouth to chew.

Then, he closed his eyes, guiding the flow of heat, trying to direct his energy toward the energy storage pool in the target corridor.

The feeling of fullness and warmth that had just surged through his body quickly disappeared. After eating, Renn felt hungry and tired, as if he had just done some light exercise.

In the deep corridor of consciousness, at the bottom of the energy storage pool, some dark red liquid slowly seeped out and lay quietly in the very center.

The experiment was successful.

Ryan wiped the crumbs from the corner of his mouth with his thumb, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

He had already experienced the cruelty of this world firsthand. And not long ago, he had witnessed how fragile and powerless ordinary soldiers, as well as Renn and many ordinary regular knights, were in the face of Hughes Bloodhoof, one of the world's most elite warriors.

He couldn't help but feel somewhat insecure; if he were to encounter a similar enemy one day, he would undoubtedly die instantly.

At this moment, Rennes needs to accumulate everything that can be transformed into power more quickly and thoroughly.

Ryan walked to the window and opened it.

In an instant, the cold wind of the northern winter night rushed into the room, sweeping away the last bit of warmth.

Raine seemed oblivious, simply raising his eyes to gaze at the night outside the window.

In the distance, in the far north, everything was shrouded in darkness.
