Zongman: Evolution Paradise

"I forgot to tell you that Saeko never needed your guidance to learn the art of killing."

Yuan Tianlu Mo's face was disdainful, but his crimson eyes were full of vigilance. He thought to himself that he had finally angered Darwin and that Darwin would know what he had done to him.

She stared intently at Xu Lun, noticing that he raised his right hand high, forming an hourglass shape, and magically scattered colorful little balls. The balls that landed on the table immediately emitted a familiar aura from Yuan Tianlu Mo, as if they were the condensation of her sweat and blood.

"Let's divide the spoils."

Joren politely moved the Source Lumo away. He discovered that the awakened Source Lumo was unaware that all her abilities had disappeared. The best way to punish an egoist was to take away everything she cherished most in front of her and redistribute it.

"The most exciting part after the war!"

Long before Yuan Tianlu Mo awoke, Jolyne had already destroyed all of her abilities. Apart from Goto Ichiri and Nami, who were unaware of these matters, everyone looked over excitedly. Those were the seeds of abilities possessed by a genius of the third realm. Just looking at them was more enticing than opening the Paradise Treasure Chest.

It's worth noting that one of Jolyne's greatest achievements to date has been gaining the power of Ryufu.

Amidst the multicolored light, many powerful ability seeds had already demonstrated their might in battle, especially one that was larger than the others and shimmered with crimson-gold light. At first glance, it looked like a legendary golden seed that could only be obtained with a very high guarantee.

[Martial Arts - Profession - Human Martial Saint]!

Jolyne swatted away Gastly's sneaky hand and picked up the [Martial Saint of the Human World], where a figure appeared in the crimson-gold glow on its surface—a warrior who had been constantly demonstrating his skills and defeating the Three Mountains and Six Sects.

Martial Arts - Profession - Human Martial Saint

Description: There are no gods three feet above one's head, but three inches from one's fist, one can claim equality for all beings!

Effect-1: Awakening Talent - Three-Inch Divine Prison...

Effect-2: Awakening Talent - Achieving Sainthood Through Martial Arts...

Effect-3: Awakening Talent - Peace and Order Across the Land...

Effect-4: Awakening Talent - Perfect Qi...

Job Requirements - 1: Cultivate the martial arts true essence of the second realm of martial arts to the Great Perfection, where there is no further advancement.

Job Requirements - 2: Go to a martial arts world and defeat all martial artists within a year without suffering a single defeat. With unparalleled power, shatter the void in front of no less than a thousand defeated opponents.

"That's fucking terrifying! How did you manage to shatter the void back then, Egghead?"

Xu Lun asked her curiously, while Yuan Tianlu Mo was completely dumbfounded. Looking at the ability seed called Human Martial Saint, he couldn't believe his guess at all. He slightly opened his mouth and made a sound like a mosquito, "The step of breaking through the void can be replaced by returning to Paradise."

"That's so lifelike."

Jolyne gave her a thumbs up.

Breaking through the void to go to the higher world is equivalent to returning to the main world in front of all the martial arts sects, right?

He pulled Gastly's hand away again and put the Human Warrior into a separate box.

Like Liu Fu's legacy, many things were unusable by Jolyne due to limitations in their use, so they had to be temporarily stored in the kingdom's treasury. There are still many special talents preserved there. Fortunately, Jolyne has many followers, and these things will eventually be digested by various talents and become his help. This is also the reason why he decided to cultivate followers in the first place, because he simply couldn't use them all by himself.

More importantly.

Even if Jolyne isn't worried about losing control, having too many abilities still has its drawbacks, the most common of which is the choice of path after taking up her first job.

Here's a simple example.

Martial arts players can enhance the power of martial arts skills by awakening their [True Essence], but they will lose the effect of [Universal Energy] in activating spell-based skills.

With his guardian spirit around, Jolyne has decided to choose a main path to grow and then use the workshop to readjust the messy powers in his body so that he can break through his realm quickly.

However, there's no rush. Jolyne needs to return to Chiba Zoo first and consult with Kanoko before making a final decision. This also requires discussion with Jeanne d'Arc and Saeko Busujima.

After taking [Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm], the first batch of ability seeds, arranged by value, includes:

[Talent - Flawless Golden Body]!

[Talent - Martial Arts True Meaning - Killing]!

[Talent - Demonic Master]!

[Talent - Assassin]!

[Talent - Karma Poison Removal]!

[Skill - Dragon Transformation]!

[Skill - Eight Gates Formation]!

[Skill - Magic Burst Fist]!

Regarding the version update

Regarding [realm/boundary].

This term, which suddenly appeared in the text shortly after the start of the One Piece arc, is like how One Piece suddenly updates from the Devil Fruit version to the Haki version; the Evolution Paradise also needs to change over time.

Although I mentioned it in the chapter title before, I haven't sent a formal author's note. It's been too hot and I've been offline for a while. I've been pretending to work hard for half a month but still haven't been able to save up one or two chapters.

Because the author said that 300 words is not enough to explain something clearly, and it is unlikely that many people in the community would see it, I will dedicate a separate chapter to briefly talk about the version update.

Explanation is still necessary; otherwise, some people may feel that the settings are contradictory and question whether the current settings deviate from the previous settings.

I'm a paradise in the world of crossover anime.

This is my first novel. Looking at the one million words on the cover now, I honestly didn't expect to stick with it until today.

The main reason I initially wrote this book was that I couldn't find the kind of eclectic mix I wanted to read, the kind where everyday life and intense battles collide, and a girl immersed in the mundane routine of romance suddenly uses a completely different way of speaking—like drinking cola from a wine glass.

Since this is my first time writing, all sorts of problems are bound to arise. I really want to rewrite the previous content, but I've given up because it's too much trouble. I've really been set up by ByteDance and Tencent!

Hmm... TikTok and Honor of Kings.

Getting back to the main point, if we keep going off-topic, this chapter will soon turn into a million-word farewell speech.

Cough cough cough...

In short, the key point of the version update can be summarized in one sentence.

which is:

Gradually abandon the five-dimensional attributes and instead use strength to define clearer realms!

Martial arts department.

Magic system.

Soul-based.

Department of Mechanical Engineering.

The divine system.

These will be discussed in detail in later chapters.

As for why we need to update the version, it's because we really had no other choice. As I said, when I first started writing this book, I didn't think about so many details at all.

Because after level 5 you've passed the "early stage," there will definitely be more and more characters coming up. The amount of information about various worlds, factions, and characters is just too much to handle if you keep using the five-dimensional attribute combat power package.

Moreover, the lack of a clear distinction between the strength of enemies and allies can be very unpleasant to look at. I can't possibly give every character with even a little bit of a story a player panel, or that would just make things more cumbersome and complicated.

Here's a simple example.

Origin Heaven Lu Demon, a peak-level martial arts master at the third realm.

Once you're out, you'll know what type of character they are and their level of strength. The various methods on the player's panel are also limited to various martial arts skills.

Is the Yuan Tian Lu Mo with 680 strength and 730 constitution... a monster from Yu-Gi-Oh!?

It's not like everyone can see the enemy first, then go to the protagonist's player panel, compare each stat to determine the strength difference, only to find the stats are wrong again when the next enemy appears, and this person isn't even as strong as Yuan Tianlu Mo... Aba aba...

If it were a big shot, it would be one thing, but for a nobody like me to do something like that, I'd be doomed sooner or later.

Therefore, Evolution Paradise needs a version update.

Three realms of martial arts.

The Four Realms of Martial Arts.

The three realms of magic.

Seven Realms of Divine Creation.

The division of strength is clear and straightforward, which is also preparing for the subsequent plot. The One Piece world is about to unfold battles that I don't even know how many chapters I will write. If it weren't so straightforward, just introducing the combat power of two minor soldiers would require a whole chapter.

Moreover, this new realm allows the Martial God Body to perform even better.

Absolutely...? ?)?*)) Nine out of ten!

Chapter 490 Origin Heaven's Halogen Demon Breaks Through Great Defense

Skill - Dragon Transformation

Description: Ao Bing's Demonic Dragon Descends!

Effect-1- Scale Armor: Upon reaching the first realm, you can unlock the first transformation of the Demonic Dragon Transformation and obtain a full set of dragon scale armor, gaining physical damage reduction while doubling your own strength.

Effect-2- Canopy: Upon reaching the second realm, you can unlock the second transformation of the Demon Dragon Transformation and obtain a Five Elements Canopy, which grants you damage reduction in all five attributes and doubles your strength.

Effect-3- Dharma Form: When you reach the third realm, you can unlock the third transformation of the Demonic Dragon Transformation, which condenses the Demonic Dragon Dharma Form to assist you. The Dharma Form can once again double your combat power and gain some of the power of the fourth realm.

Conditions for use: Possess sufficiently pure dragon blood or use secret methods to devour a large amount of dragon blood and construct a temporary dragon blood medium within one's own body.

"...Triple combat power increase."

Jolyne could hardly imagine what the effect would be if her Black Flash were stacked three hundred times.

Oh, it doesn't seem to have much effect. Anyway, no matter how much the damage is increased, it can only overflow.

After glancing at the usage conditions, Jolyne handed the Dragon Transformation directly to Joan of Arc.

"Jeanne, here you go. I remember the description of the Nine Netherworld Dragon Body says that the fourth stage effect is [Dragon Transformation]. Fusing with this ability might unlock [Pure Black Dragon]."

[Moon World Origin Body] is a physique. Jeanne's bloodline has not yet awakened. However, based on the introduction of the Nine Netherworld Dragon Body, it can be basically deduced that the [Pure Black Dragon] bloodline is a power that Jeanne can only unlock when she reaches the fourth realm.

With the power of the War God Body, Jolyne can directly borrow the abilities of her Guardian Spirits.

In other words, this effect allows the guardian spirit to determine the conditions for using most equipment, items, or skills.

For example, with the Dragon Transformation skill, Jolyne may not have met the requirements to use it, but Jeanne d'Arc can. Once Jeanne d'Arc obtains the skill, it's as if Jolyne has also obtained it, which can be quite useful in certain special situations.

"I have long since reached the fourth realm. It is Master who needs to work hard to unlock my power!"

Jeanne d'Arc stood with her hands on her hips and her head held high. Although she said this, she did not regret the contract she signed at the time, because there were only four spots for Guardian Spirits. The spot she was in now was the one that Medea and the others had been longing for. Most importantly, becoming a Guardian Spirit would allow her to stay by her Master's side at all times!

"It'll be soon. My five-dimensional attributes have long been sufficient to break through to the second realm, but I'm still stuck in the novice village stage because I haven't taken up a job yet."

Jolyne sighed.

It's like a special mission to leave the village; if you don't do it, you're stuck in the village killing chickens and staring blankly at the "Area ahead is not yet open" message displayed at the village entrance.

Talent - True Meaning of Martial Arts - Killing

Description: To stop the fighting with killing, so that I may live alone.

Effect: Comprehend the true meaning of martial arts?

Usage requirements: Comprehension?

Unlike common talent stones, the true meaning of martial arts requires the martial arts practitioner to comprehend it personally. The killing martial intent is the source of the Heavenly Demon's understanding of martial arts.

No two leaves are the same. Even with the same name, the martial intent of killing, each martial intent possessor has a different understanding of killing. Just like back in Demon Slayer, Jolyne discovered that if the seed of an ability retains traces of predecessors, it will always be unique to the predecessors and will be impurities that carry spiritual pollution.

Fortunately, the workshop can remove the traces.

This pure talent—the true meaning of martial arts—the power to kill—still needs Saeko Busujima to digest.

“With this seed of ability, what need is there for any other nonsense guidance?” Jolyne glanced at the source of the demon and then fed it to Saeko Busujima. “Martial intent and sword intent are indeed two different things, but when the Martial God Body was fused just now, Saeko, you had already experienced the killing sword intent brought by the End Sword Chapter. With this, you should be able to fully comprehend it soon.”

“Complete comprehension is unlikely; martial intent is a privilege reserved for those at the third level of the martial arts system,” Saeko Busujima said. “However, using a combination of telekinesis and swordsmanship to achieve a similar effect before reaching the third level should not be a problem.”

"That's too modest. You should know that mastering the power of a higher realm before reaching a lower realm is the mark of a genius."

Just as Yuan Tianlu Mo used a 300x boost to cross three realms and possess the combat power of the fourth realm of martial arts, Xu Lun also used the End Sword Chapter to unlock the unique skill fusion of the fourth realm. Crossing realms to fight is the standard for geniuses. Xu Lun continued to pick out the abilities he needed from these ability seeds, and Yuan Tianlu Mo finally realized what was happening.

"Is this my power?!"

Upon seeing the light and shadow of the martial arts performance, Yuan Tianlu recognized it as the same person who had defeated the Three Mountains and Six Sects in October! Seeing the dragon pattern on the purple seed, Yuan Tianlu thought of the demonic dragon whose tendons and skin she had used to tear it apart! The overflowing killing intent made her eyes sting, and Yuan Tianlu felt as if she had returned to that ancient battlefield where everything was sealed off by Paradise, and a single volley of arrows could render ordinary people powerless and enraged!

Because she had just used the Eight Gates Formation, her golden body was shattered and she was extremely weak. In addition, Goto Ichiri used a substitute to separate her head and body so that she could act alone. Only now did Genten Lumo realize that she could no longer use the various abilities she had painstakingly cultivated since the beginning of the day!
