Chapter 1250: Chapter 482: Two Waves of Evolution
"Oh my!" Sha Sha exaggeratedly fanned the air with her hand, overwhelmed by the swirling hot and cold mist. She shouted angrily, "Lu Shen Gun, you’re showing off so much... You’re going to evaporate all the water vapor in the Pacific Ocean!"
"That’s so extreme, he burned one of the hibernation pods. If it weren’t for the responsive fire system, the entire pod section would be destroyed."
KIKI stood with her hands on her hips, shouting discontentedly, "Hey, we still need the Crystal Grid Cultivation, don’t burn this place down."
After speaking, she immediately waved her hand, sending a shock wave that cleared up the view in the hall.
Only then did everyone see Lu Xingchen in the distance, still holding the pose of hands behind his back facing away from the crowd, though his clothes were charred and soaked as if he were a roast chicken.
"Wait, wait!"
Seeing the mist being blown away, Lu Xingchen suddenly nervously reignited, while Lin Xian promptly raised his hand to shoot the Nanometer Inner Liner Suit to Lu Xingchen. The silver nanoparticles rapidly dispersed, instantly covering him and the charred fragments of his clothes.
Lin Xian had long realized this guy emerged not just to show off. Now it seems his clothes were likely burnt to pieces during evolution due to his excitement. Under the gaze of everyone, he probably witnessed the sudden change in Ning Jing’s physique and thus adopted a Fire God descent stance to cover up the awkward predicament where only a few charred fragments were left covering his bare bottom.
Lin Xian watched as the guy’s flames were extinguished yet he continued facing away from the crowd, thinking that must be the reason. As a man, Lin himself would also be embarrassed to turn around. Having one’s behind seen is still more respectable than having other parts exposed, especially for someone as proud as Lu Xingchen.
Luckily, he was enveloped in steam and charred clothing fragments, so no one noticed.
Upon being wrapped in the Nanometer Inner Liner Suit, Lu Xingchen, still facing away from the crowd, quietly breathed a sigh of relief, instantly regaining his composed stance, and turned to smile at Lin Xian, calmly saying,
"The material of this clothing is extraordinary, surely the result of Brother Lin’s painstaking efforts to manage my explosive power upon resurfacing, Brother Lin, I appreciate it."
Lin Xian smiled speechlessly at him, "You’re welcome."
Ding Junyi picked up the Soul Swinging Value Detector, adjusted his glasses, and said, "26500, your own Dark Energy peak value has reached Transcendent Level. According to the new standards set by the Phoenix Society, this figure ranks among the top of Superpower Users worldwide."
"26500!!!" Luo Yang exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this, "Brother Huo, you rock!"
Among the crowd, Xiao Qing also glanced at Lu Xingchen with astonishment. Although it was expected that the peak value of Superpower might increase by 100%, Brother Huo’s jump from 12500 to 26500 was truly extraordinary.
"Not bad, I only have 18,000, you even exceed Ryuji’s 19,000 by 7500. It seems the scope of this Crystal Grid Evolution significantly boosts combat power!"
Qian Deli stroked his chin and calmly stated, "Judging by the speed of Crystal Grid Enhancement, breaking 30,000 shouldn’t take long."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen walked over with a delighted expression and asked Ding Junyi, "Director Ding, is that true? I was only 12500 before..."
Though he was asking, it was clear that Lu Xingchen was extremely excited at the moment. A surge in combat power was something he eagerly anticipated, especially when Ding Junyi added the comment ’one of the top worldwide’. Given Lu Xingchen’s personality, his heart was likely already bursting with joy.
Ding Junyi held up the Soul Swinging Value Detector for him to see, "It’s not a complete standard, there’s likely a lot of room for growth. Your Crystal Grid Enhancement rate should exceed 100%."
"Excellent, excellent." Lu Xingchen exhaled deeply, suppressing his excitement, puffing out his chest with pride as his gaze seemed to pierce through the armor of the train, looking out at the apocalypse-stricken monster-infested world:
"The road ahead is long and fraught with demons. Very well, let my newly acquired ’Samadhi True Fire’ blaze a path to celestial heights for you all!"
As he finished speaking, the entire cabin’s temperature soared once again, as if even the air was boiling.
"Alright, alright, quickly check for any other abnormalities on you." Chen Sixuan interrupted him as he was about to ’take off’ again, asking with concern.
Interrupted by Chen Sixuan, Lu Xingchen quickly felt himself over and immediately perked up, saying excitedly, "All is well, no worries, everyone."
Lin Xian nodded, "It seems using Level 4 Blood Essence has increased everyone’s evolution enhancement rate by around 100%, which is a good thing. The current issue is we don’t know if the changes in Da Lou and Ning Jing’s bodies are for better or worse, we’ll have to wait until I’ve coordinated with the Phoenix Society to find out."
"I feel I’m fine." Da Lou patted his chest and said, "Even though I’m a bit red... I feel more than a little better overall."
Da Lou was quite excited as well; previously, his combat power had already vastly lagged behind the team, and his Blood Qi Power struggled against large Abnormal Bodies. Though Lin Xian had crafted the Black Dragon Battle Armor for him, it conflicted with his own Superpower and couldn’t perfectly harness his combat potential, only boosting his mobility and defensive capabilities at sea. But now he clearly felt he’d gained the power to pierce the sky using physical might alone, and with some adaptation, he might also find visceral strength for long-range kills like Vanessa.
