Chapter 43: Gravity Ability
In the darkness, a massive fish was expanding in size, and the area around it seemed to have become muddy.
The clone had started to undergo the fourth evolution.
It was darker in the area where the fish was located, compared to other areas on the sea surface, but this could not be distinguished unless one was paying attention.
The area within a 20-meter radius seemed to have been affected, and it was increasing with time.
The savage aura being released by the clone was already unbearable to most creatures, and thus, within a mile radius, all the fish seemed to have escaped.
Even the massive ones, as they were more perceptive of danger and could feel something that could threaten them, retreated as far away as possible.
But the current location was very deep in the sea, and as such, the actions of the massive water creatures had little impact on humans.
Within a mile of where the clone was undergoing evolution, no creature dared to approach.
This was already a good thing for Cheng Shan as he had let the evolution take place on its own, and his consciousness seemed to have returned to the main body.
Just staying around would have led to him entering deep sleep, and he did seem to have other goals.
If he could magnify the effect of the radioactive energy, perhaps he could still make another leap, but he needed to get close to the source fast.
He even thought of taking it around with him, as it would save him a lot of energy and time when he had to come all the way to practice in this place.
He could practice anywhere and the hunt for meat to replenish his energy would become even easier.
In the moment Cheng Shan's consciousness had already returned to the main body, he seemed to be more interested in finding the source of the radioactive energy.
Hanging on some steep rocks, he could see some cave passages, and he kept approaching.
"Perhaps through one of these entrances, I can find what I am looking for. But how to choose?" he was indeed conflicted on which path to take.
When he arrived, he could indeed see that this was created from the fracturing of the rocks, and he stood there thinking about the choice to make.
He had to move in one of the passages, Though it seemed dark at the moment, in Cheng Shan's eyes it was not different from daytime.
"Let's just choose one based on the level of radioactive energy substances in the air." he still decided to go with one, and he was not sure if any other dangers existed in the place.
But he did not hesitate even after these thoughts flashed in his mind.
It could be said that he was indeed strong, his entire body had been strengthened from the bones to the flesh and internal organs.
This was all due to the practice in this place, and he always had that feeling that something was missing. That feeling of incompleteness was indeed real, and so he was not willing to let it end here.
He wanted to see if he could leverage the high concentration of radioactive energy and go further in the potential stage.
Perhaps even achieve the tenth transformation, and see what effect it would have on him.
He was certain that once the clone finished its evolution, the feedback would be immense.
So he was more interested in seeing what would happen if he achieved the tenth transformation and received strengthening from the clone.
With the improvement in size, the darkness seemed to expand slightly in all directions.
Even though it was dark, the massive fish hidden under the sand, seemed to be rising slightly in the water. It had left the water floor when the evolution had started to rise, but it did not continue as some massive power seemed to be surging on its body.
The current body size seemed to increase quickly, and vibrations seemed to occur in its body from time to time.
The energy in this moment was massive compared to before, and the bones and muscles in the fish's body seemed to be slowly decomposing.
The organs seemed to be slowly decomposing, reorganizing, and expanding. It seemed that the changes were happening at a cellular level, and at the same time, the power in the body seemed to be strengthening faster.
The genes in the body of the massive fish seemed to be slowly recombined and optimized for the new fish it had used as the basis for this evolution. Something seemed to be extracted from the body of the fish he used in this evolution, taking a certain direction as the main addition to the clone.
A massive scorching heat seemed to be slowly appearing on Cheng Shan's body, and he had to stop moving into the cave, focusing on his change.
He could see that the change was coming from the evolution of the clone.
The heat seemed to be spreading across his body fast, and his physique seemed to be soaring fast. The thing he heard in his body was as though some hammer was pounding his body from the bones and muscles.
When the muscles and bones seemed to be strengthened, he could feel the body becoming heavier and heavier. A massive coercive breadth started to spread from his body; it even seemed to be shaking the ground he was standing on.
This time, the evolution did not seem to be happening faster than before; rather, it took longer, and the feedback seemed to be happening from time to time.
When he opened his eyes, one could see the coldness that emanated from his purple eyes. It had some sense of supremacy to it, but this was only fleeting.
"This evolution seems like it will take longer, Let me focus on finding what I want in this place." Cheng Shan was indeed stronger, and could feel that his body was being strengthened continuously.
The change that was happening was not something that could be rushed or stopped, and at the moment, even when he took a step forward, the foot seemed to leave behind a foot mark on the ground.
"The feedback this time is probably going to be very massive." He did not seem to be in a rush to confirm how strong he was.
Without even changing his expression he looked towards the right, he could see the place was different from other entrances in the cave.
As he stepped forward, he put his arm on the side of the cave entrance, and with a slight force, he left an arm-deep mark.
"This is terrifying; I wonder if my current state can withstand bullets." He was just thinking about it but did not seem to be interested in testing it at all.
When he moved further ahead he could see that the cracks were more pronounced.
His eyes seemed to shift on the panel, and he could see on the abilities listed, that gravity seemed to have been added. It seemed to be a suppression ability, and he was happy about it.
In the pitch-black cave, one could see purple eyes and they kept moving forward, following a certain direction.
"This place is indeed different. Perhaps there is something in this place." He could feel that the sensation of radioactive energy had started to appear on his skin.
