The evolution card “Cloak” was blue with red words. Its effect was: doubles the number of layers of protective armor on the user.
The evolution card “Strike” was grey with red words. Its effect was: an active ability that allows a critical hit on a specified target, and guarantees an attack on the target’s weak area. Cooldown time is 60 seconds.
Finally, there was naturally a super-evolution card—
“Personify”, a colorless evolution card. Its effect was: allows creatures to imitate humans; increases the upper limit of ability attributes to the human level. The player may switch between “true body” and “human form” at will, with each conversion taking 10 seconds and having a cooldown time of 12 hours.
It was the first time that Ren Suo saw such a colorless card, and also a super-evolution card.
There was no doubt that “Personify” seemed to be a decent ability, but the upper limit of human abilities was actually not extremely powerful in nature. If there were other types of super-evolution abilities like “Tiger Mimic” or “Whale Mimic”, the increased ability attributes could then be considered extraordinary.
However, those “beast” forms would not be any more practical in the city than the pangolin itself in its original form. As such, Ren Suo hesitated no further and selected “Personify”.
“Personify” was of little to no help to the pangolin at the beginning. The only benefit was that the upper limit of the pangolin’s attributes increased, and when Ren Suo chose to evolve abilities like “Claws and Fangs” and “Fortify” in the future, the pangolin would be able to continue growing stronger.
Moreover, Ren Suo had gradually discovered the true might of the pangolin. At present, its physical capabilities were quite similar to that of strong human athletes. However, its body was so small, which meant that its reaction speed and individual destructive power were far beyond that of humans. It would not even receive much damage from bashing through cement walls.
All but one of the subsequent evolution cards were unremarkable. It was an ordinary evolution card with a surprisingly practical benefit—
“Cold-Blooded Animal”, a red evolution card with grey words. Its effect was: the user may switch from being a warm-blooded animal to being a cold-blooded animal. The internal temperature of a cold-blooded animal would be absolutely consistent with the temperature of the surrounding environment. When resting in a warm area, the recovery ability of the user would be increased by 30%.
With “Blend-in Smudge” and “Cold-Blooded Animal”, Ren Suo could finally continue opening the Reiki Treasure of Xuan Nation with little worry. At most, in times of danger, he could simply use “Afterimage”.
The only problem was that “Afterimage” should not be used more than once consecutively. The personnel near the Volcano of Legacies would definitely sense that something was amiss the moment “Afterimage” was used, so Ren Suo would definitely not want to risk the safety of the pangolin unless he was sufficiently confident.
The pangolin climbed over the 3-meter-tall colored metal fence easily. Many scholars, personnel clad in black vests, military personnel, and rows of tents appeared on the screen. Various equipment were seen inside the tents, and they appeared to make up a temporary research center.
The personnel on-site did not step onto the upper slopes of the volcano in order not to damage the jade white appearance of the volcano but instead conducted observations from outside the cordon line.
Ren Suo controlled the pangolin to reach the edge of the Reiki beam carefully and fast-forward the game by 2 hours. The second activation of the Reiki Treasure was completed, and another red lotus shower of lights appeared over the skies of Tianjing City.
Instantly, a huge commotion was heard from the temporary research center. Many equipment were sounding and the personnel clad in the black vests and scholars gathered beside the Volcano of Legacies. The pangolin took the opportunity to slip away and returned to the Imperial College Museum to continue absorbing Reiki from the gravestones.
After the third, fourth, and fifth activations of the Volcano of Legacies, the temporary research center grew bigger and bigger, and the number of equipment and instruments increased. However, they still had not figured out that all of the Reiki explosions were related to a small animal.
More foreigners appeared in the vicinity of the tourist viewing area surrounding the Volcano of Legacies. It appeared that in just a few days, the red lotus light showers had become a rare astronomy occurrence and attracted the attention of many countries.
Ren Suo rubbed his palms as he activated the Reiki Treasure for the last time. He watched as the pangolin remained hidden under the bright light of the sun at noon, and made contact with the Reiki beam of the Volcano of Legacies.
Fast-forward to two hours!
The scene changed from day to night, and when the fast-forwarding ended, the sky on the screen was no longer red.
Instead, light streaks greeted his eyes and looking up, meteor showers covered the night sky!
From within the crater of the Volcano of Legacies, dazzling arrays of golden-colored stardust scattered in all directions, lighting up the night sky like a day. It was as if the legacies of the troops who fought on the battlefield were reignited once again!
[You have activated the Reiki Treasure of Xuan Nation .]
[Grade of the Reiki Vein of Xuan Nation +1.]
[The chances of Awakening of ordinary people in Xuan Nation has increased.]
[Practitioners of Xuan Nation who were Practicing during the activation of the Reiki Treasure of Xuan Nation would very likely receive benefits from the Reiki vein.]
[The Reiki energy in the world has risen slightly.]
[Due to the activation of the Reiki Treasure of Xuan Nation, the other 11 Reiki Treasures of the world would also be activated automatically in 30 days.]
[You have received 15 Evolutions as a reward.]
A long chain of messages scrolled past, and then the entire screen suddenly froze. The clock on the upper right corner of the screen also paused.
[You have received one Legendary Evolution!]
On the screen, the golden dazzle of the Volcano of Legacies slowly shrunk, becoming smaller and smaller until it turned into a painting, and fused into the back of a crimson-red card.
[You have received the Crimson-Red Legendary Card: Unending Legacy.]
The crimson-red legendary card turned to reveal its front: a depiction of a right arm dripping with blood with the fist clenched tightly, the blood dripping from the wound onto the neat pages of a book below, turning the text into a deep red color.
[Unending Legacy: An active ability that enables the All-Devouring Soul to inherit a creature whose will is far lower than itself. The inheritor will be able to evolve the same number of times that the original creature had undergone, but the evolution abilities would not be inherited directly (the crimson-red legendary card would be completely inherited).
The inheritor would be able to select the same number of evolution cards as the evolution count from a pool of cards, amounting to 3 times the evolution count. The cooldown time is 72 hours.]
It appeared that “Unending Legacy” was the only legendary evolution card with no other options to choose from.
However, Ren Suo did not have any time to study the ability further, for that legendary evolution card was different from ordinary evolution cards. Ordinary evolutions would only be known to the pangolin itself, but the moment the legendary card was invoked, a crimson-red star shower shot out from the crater of the Volcano of Legacies right towards the location of the concealed pangolin.
That was too obvious!
Ren Suo immediately activated “Afterimage”, and ran like the wind!
“Catch it!”
Although the pangolin was already running at an extremely fast speed, the speed of the personnel clad in black vests was not slow either!
Several groups of personnel clad in the black vests ran as they prepared their guns. With superb marksmanship even while running, they shot the pangolin with great accuracy!
How were the capabilities of the personnel of the Countermeasure Division of Tianjing City high?!
Ren Suo had finally been able to equip the pangolin with evolutionary armor, but even the 60 layers of armor on the pangolin were no match for the bullets, and the layers disintegrated instantly!
“Stop!”
Although Ren Suo did not know why they would coax a pangolin to surrender, he had no intention to reason with them—they were, after all, a different species from the pangolin.
Even if he let the pangolin surrender, Tianjing City would definitely place the pangolin under arrest until the truth of the Volcano of Legacies was revealed.
But the problem now was that Ren Suo did not have so much time for the pangolin to waste in the game.
That was because after he activated the Reiki Treasure of Xuan Nation, the combat score of the world’s strongest creature as indicated on the upper right corner of the screen had soared by more than 10,000!
It was already 615,000 points!
It was only then when Ren Suo understood what the game hint meant when it said that the activation of the Reiki Treasure would “lead to a series of unpredictable consequences”.
After the activation of the Reiki Treasure, the character Ren Suo controlled would get a chance to strengthen greatly, but the strongest soul in the world would also benefit from it!
For the All-Devouring Soul to find and obtain Reiki, it was actually both plunder and opening of Reiki sources!
