[Current Status: Unharmed, Full of Energy!]

Feeling the surging power within him, Lin Ye gently twisted his body, his scales rubbing against the mud with agility and freedom. Even after a long period of hibernation, he would no longer suffer from stiffness in his limbs, and he could react more quickly to a predator's attack.

After completing the reinforcement, Lin Ye once again concealed himself in the mud to rest, while vigilantly sensing the movements around him.

The swamp in the dark of night was still fraught with danger, but he was no longer the weak crocodile who could only passively hide. With the double enhancement, even if he encountered a sub-adult raptor again, he would be confident to deal with it head-on and even turn the tables!

Meanwhile, the global live broadcast room outside had already exploded with excitement due to Lin Ye's series of actions!

Inside the Dragon Kingdom's live stream room, cheers soared to the sky, and emotions that had been suppressed for a long time finally erupted at this moment!

From his audacious choice of the T4 Crocodile, which drew ridicule from the entire internet, to his repeated escapes from death and the first kill that activated the system, and now his night battle victory against the T1 Predator, which propelled him to 47th place globally and completed a double upgrade!

In just over ten chapters, Lin Ye achieved a stunning comeback with one incredible move after another, bringing the ultimate surprise and glory to all the people of China!

"Ranked 47th! They've actually broken into the mid-tier globally! This comeback is amazing!"

"From last place to 47th, Lin Ye really did it! He is a hero of the Dragon Kingdom!"

"Who dares to say that the proto-crocodile we chose is a useless species? This is the true hidden king!"

"That was so satisfying! Those who mocked us before, they're all slapped in the face now!"

The barrage of comments scrolled wildly like a tsunami, and countless Chinese viewers were moved to tears, spreading the news far and wide. Their previous despair, anger, and resentment had all transformed into pride and joy at this moment.

Inside the official commentary hall, five experts, including Chen Guoan and Zhang Lei, wore long-lost smiles, their eyes filled with satisfaction and admiration.

Speaking to the camera, Chen Guoan's voice was firm and powerful: "I once thought Lin Ye's choice was self-destruction, but now I understand that he is a true sage! Everyone chases after the strongest version, but he alone saw through the eternal path! The potential of crocodiles far surpasses that of all predators!"

"From this day forward, no one will dare to underestimate the players from the Dragon Kingdom, and no one will dare to look down on T4 Shi E! Lin Ye is creating a miracle for the Dragon Kingdom!"

Throughout the Dragon Kingdom, the entire nation rejoiced. On the national fortune ranking list, the Dragon Kingdom's national fortune value soared, jumping from the bottom to 35th in the world. The physical fitness of the entire population quietly improved, and the domestic climate and resources saw slight optimization. The whole country was thriving.

Conversely, live streaming rooms around the world fell into an unprecedented silence.

The viewers from the United States, Japan, and South Korea stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief, watching the frenzy in the Dragon Kingdom's live stream and seeing Lin Ye's ranking and score soar. Their faces turned ashen, and their previous arrogance and mockery now felt like a series of slaps to their own faces.

The American commentator sat in front of the camera, his face ashen, unable to utter a single word.

He had previously mocked Lin Ye relentlessly, predicting that Lin Ye wouldn't survive a day. But now, Lin Ye not only survived but also turned the tables and became stronger, even approaching the level of a mid-tier player, which made him lose face.

Japanese player Sato and South Korean player Park Jun-ho looked at Lin Ye's name on the global player panel, their faces so gloomy they could drip water, and their unease grew stronger.

They originally thought Lin Ye was just an ant that could be easily destroyed, but now, this ant has grown sharp claws and has the potential to threaten them!

"It was just luck that he managed to repel an injured newt. What kind of skill is that!"

"So what if he's ranked 47th? Coach Carter's T0 Dinosaur is still firmly in the top three globally; he'll never catch up!"

"When he encounters a true apex predator, he'll still be exposed for what he truly is!"

Even though he was deeply shocked, the overseas audience still refused to acknowledge Lin Ye's strength. They could only stubbornly comfort themselves, but their words lacked their previous confidence, and the mocking voices were barely audible.

Global powers, experts, and scholars have all focused their attention on Lin Ye, and have begun to study the species, the Primordial Crocodile, studying its survival methods and combat techniques in an attempt to uncover the secrets of its rise to power.

Everyone realized that the Dragon Kingdom player who chose T4 Shi E would become the biggest variable in this prehistoric national fortune season!

As night faded, the dawn's light shone through the dense ferns onto the swamp, dispelling the darkness and bringing both new life and crisis.

Lin Ye slowly opened his eyes, his vertical pupils flashing with a sharp light. After a night of rest, he was in peak condition.

A new day, a new hunt, a new evolutionary path, officially begins!

No longer content with hunting the lowest-level insects, he turned his attention to the more powerful prey in the swamp, accumulating more evolution points, unlocking stronger skills, and completing a higher level of evolution!

The first rays of dawn pierced the morning mist, casting a cold, golden hue over the muddy swamp.

The chill of last night had not yet completely dissipated, but fine white mist had already begun to slowly rise from the water's surface, and aquatic plants swayed gently in the dim light, revealing large areas of shallow water.

Lin Ye slowly awoke from the mud, his body covered in rudimentary scales that gleamed with an understated luster. After a night of physical enhancement and slow self-healing, his physical strength and condition had returned to their peak.

[Current Panel]

Species: Protosuchus (T4)

Status: Unharmed, full stamina

Survival rating: 85/100

Global ranking: 47/203

Evolutionary point: 5

Five evolution points are a drop in the ocean; they can't be used to redeem any skill in the shop. Lin Ye knows very well that if he wants to continue to grow stronger, he must step out of the safe zone and take the initiative—he is no longer a low-level T4 who can only survive by hiding; now, he is qualified to challenge prey larger than the canine-toothed beast.

He slowly twisted his body, moving silently along the mud, using the mud to conceal himself and suppress his breath to the extreme. Each step was so light that it barely stirred up the water.

The algae in the shallow water grew increasingly lush, and the footsteps and roars of large creatures could be heard in the distance, each sound reminding him: danger lurks at every step in the depths of the swamp.

But Lin Ye's eyes remained calm, showing no sign of backing down.

The survival strategy of crocodiles is never to avoid all dangers, but to seize every opportunity for life.

After slithering for several hundred meters, the target finally came into view—on the shallows, four water dragons were munching on aquatic ferns. They were about one meter long, herbivorous, with little aggression and average defense, but were the most ideal hunting targets at this stage.

The water dragon herds are very close-knit, and to hunt one, you must wait until one of them leaves the herd.
