Wallace looked at the four and a half feet tall boy in the mirror. The boy had black hair falling over his shoulders with a childish face, but the face was sharp, giving him a matured feeling. The jaws looked sharp enough to pierce through anything, while the nose, though not too long, was pointed. The most eye-catching factor about this face was the eyeball. His eyeball was blue in color and looked crystallized, giving off a surreal feeling. He felt like there was more to these eyes, but there was no way he would be able to find out more about it now.
He sat on the bed to check his internal condition. His skeleton was not blue in color, but they looked like diamonds. Normal weapons wouldn't be able to do anything to them, while the purple blood running in his veins was viscous, just like gel. They were flowing slowly but with incomparable power. There were two hearts in his body; one was pumping out golden red blood, while the other was pumping out blue blood, and the two mixed together to form a metallic purple color.
He looked inside his body and saw that his mana vessel was almost full; he could break through anytime. He also saw the qi that had already spread around his body; they had increased in width and were now thicker than before. The residual internal energy was now more than twice as before. He saw something strange about his two palms; there was a dark coagulated energy swirling around his palms and the flesh covering it. The dark energy was filled with destructive intent, and it looked like his palms were made entirely of them.
Not only that, he felt his connection with the element he awakened had deepened; he could sense the water element in the air and could even bend them. He could sense the lightning element in the cloud; he could sense the wood element more clearly; he could sense the space and how stable it was. His dream sense had expanded to a range of a hundred meters, and he could calmly process the information appearing in his mind without strain.
"Can you now tell me what's happening?" he asked.
The voice that was resting before finally awoke in his head. "Nothing much, I just helped you trigger part of the potential contained in your genes while at the same time strengthening it and your body so that it will be able to take the violent energy in your genes." the voice explained.
"Explain more," he asked.
"The human body is a peculiar test subject. If my race was still around, we would have loved to experiment on it. There's a mysterious energy contained in your genes, but it's too pitiful that the human body and genes itself is weak, so any attempt to trigger the energy will implode the body. Simply talking, the human is a defective race," the voice explained.
"You should have known that's the reason you people can merge with other race bloodlines and assimilate them while the others can't do the same. It's because you are defective from the beginning, and there's no way to awaken the energy inside you," it said.
"It just so happened that I brought the core from our race over when I merged with you, and I used the opportunity to absorb the blood of beasts and use the core to process it, and it transformed into a second heart, which I used to strengthen your body and your mental energy because we are beings that have natural control over mental energy. Actually, most of the energy goes into strengthening your mental energy while the remaining was used to strengthen your body and your genes, which allowed you to partly awaken the energy inside your genes, which led to the transformation of your body," the voice explained.
"Simply talking, you boosted my mental energy while also at the same time enabled me to awaken the hidden energy in my genes. Can you do this to other people?" he asked.
"No," the voice answered.
"Why?" he asked.
"You are already close to a perfect creature yourself. This body has unparalleled talent brought over by the fragment of your soul from Earth, while it itself has over one thousand bones, which means its genes are like three times strengthened than other human bodies. That's what allowed you to barely pass through the body. Its brain is also advanced and has a lot of mental energy; I just acted as a catalyst and also improved the quality of your mental energy, bringing it closer to ours. If it had been another human, their genes would have broken down, or even if they passed through the phase, the brain would have imploded. You almost died many times," the voice said.
He still remembered the feeling and could not help but shiver involuntarily. He never wanted to feel the kind of pain he felt again.
"How many times do I have to undergo the evolution?" he asked.
"If possible, it would have been once, but the first one is the pure blood essence that's helping you has been exhausted, and your body won't be able to take the whole energy at once"
"I think you have to go on for a couple of times, like five more times," the voice said.
"Just kill me," he answered.
"No pain, no gain. Just check your stats. By the way, I want to sleep. You must perfect yourself as soon as possible by undergoing the second evolution. That's when you would be on the basis of perfecting yourself and being able to harness the peculiar energy in your genes," the voice told him.
"By the way, you should have two new innate abilities. Just go to the fragment of memories in your brain, but before that, just learn to acclimatize yourself with this newly found strength, and it will be advisable not to break through to rank ten mage before you fully learn about the peculiarities of your body," the voice told him and simply stopped.
He summoned his stats screen.
*Name: Wallace Ace*
*Race: Partial Primo-human*
*Level: 17*
*Blood essence required for next evolution: 8530/12800*
*Cultivation stage: Rank 9 mage*
*_Strength: 20 *3__
*_Speed: 20 *3__
*_Physique: 20 *3__
*_Defense: 20 *3__
*Spirit: 50*
*Shop*
*Quest*
*Notification*
His stats had increased by four times, and the boost the qi was giving him showed that his qi had clearly increased. Meanwhile, another section had appeared - the spirit section. He smiled as he saw the screen.
"The pain is definitely worth it," he thought. He saw the race and still saw "partially" there; he didn't understand it, but he took his mind off it. He saw that the notification section was blinking and went to the notification section.
*Congratulations on successfully undergoing your first evolution. 1000 credits available.*
*Now that mental energy has been awakened and mental energy has successfully reached the psyche beginner realm, manual psyche control is now available in the shop.*
*Now that the mental energy has reached the psyche beginner realm, space-time ability manual is now available in the shop.*
The three notifications appeared before him, but before he went to the shop, he remembered the voice telling him to go to someplace in his brain. He closed his eyes as his sense slowly went towards his brain and sunk into it. He felt himself appear in another world; he looked at the golden blue liquid stretching across the space.
"Mental energy," his intuition told him that this was his mental energy. The energy was calm. He saw a fragment and directed it to flow towards him; his sense slowly sunk into the fragment, and he saw what happened when a phantom appeared behind him and when a red and a blue ring fused into his body.
"Whoosh" he was ejected, and he appeared outside the world.
"Blood amplification" he muttered underneath his breath as he felt the blood in his body start to burn, and purple flames appeared on his body.
*Host has entered the amplification state. All stats will be boosted by one hundred percent. Effective for five minutes.*
He canceled the skin; his face was a little pale, but he was pleasantly surprised as he looked at the innate skill. He couldn't help but smile; he now had a terrifying trump card. Ordinarily, he could now match a rank thirty mage in terms of body stat, but if due to the amplification effect, he would be able to match a rank forty magico. At least, he would not need to worry about a rank thirty mage. He could feel his dream of getting stronger slowly coming through.
The second innate skill was a mental ability named
"Dreamscape one." The skill was mysterious, but when he read the effect, he couldn't help but be surprised. This skill used his mental energy to create a dreamscape that he would be able to enter, and his comprehension ability and cultivation would be twice as fast as the outside world. He would enter deep sleep, where he would be cultivating, and it would not affect his body in the outside world. Even though it was not a combat ability, it was far more useful than a combat ability. These two skills were the skills that arose from just the first evolution.
