107: Ye Su can do that too?
This Flood Dragon would be very hard to kill.
Ye Su had prepared himself mentally from the very beginning.
In fact,
it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was the ultimate boss of the Rain Water solar term.
Thus, Ye Su didn't think he could kill it just by having a slight burst of power.
But this Second Stage was a bit much.
Looking at its appearance,
its scales were complete, its entire body was red, and its terrifying aura was completely undisguised.
Even standing dozens of meters away, one could feel a wave of heat rushing toward them.
This guy has received a comprehensive upgrade!
Ye Su was slightly dazed;
'Could it be that a true King-level Lifeform has a second health bar?'
Why was Ye Su determined to take on the Flood Dragon?
Besides stabilizing Great Xia, another reason was what the letter said: this Flood Dragon held the secret of a true King-level Lifeform.
In other words,
according to Great Xia's current assessment,
entities like the Great Turtle, Dragon Wolf, and Dragon Whale...
were not true King-level Lifeforms.
Only this Flood Dragon was a true King-level Lifeform.
Well... perhaps the Mountain Lord of the Shennong Forbidden Zone was one too.
Therefore,
only by killing it and slicing it up on the Research Institute's table
could Ye Su truly catch a glimpse of a King-level Lifeform's true nature.
The purpose of evolution is transition.
Simply put, this Flood Dragon held the secret to life transition!
Ye Su had coveted it for a long time!
"You—I—"
A low voice sounded.
The Blood Jiao had spoken.
It was truly ridiculous.
If the Yao Race spoke, it was because they already had vocal cords; whether they had refined their transverse bone or for some other reason, at least they had vocal cords.
But these Blood Jiao were created from nothing!
"You can talk? Can we communicate then?"
Ye Su said.
Although he said that, his heart was beating even faster.
"Die!"
As expected, the Blood Jiao had no sense of martial ethics.
It had finally learned to speak and happened to have someone to talk to; it should have let Ye Su chat with it for a bit.
The speed of the Second Stage Blood Jiao was indeed much faster.
Ye Su even felt a bit inadequate in front of it.
However, its massive body also meant its flexibility would be suppressed.
Thus, Ye Su felt no sense of crisis.
At the same time, with the idea of avoiding the Blood Jiao's Second Stage, Ye Su led the Blood Jiao on a chase around Nanwan Park.
Mainly to see,
what exactly is a King-level Lifeform?
It couldn't really just be a Second Stage, right!
—The situation at Nanwan Park was unclear.
Ye Su kept the Blood Jiao busy, while other Professional teams hunted down the sea monsters of the Droplet Realm.
As time passed, the battlefield became increasingly chaotic.
After all, a steady stream of sea monsters was still entering the battlefield.
Fortunately, while kiting the monster, Ye Su would conveniently take down many Droplet Realm sea monsters, which maintained the balance of the battlefield.
"Is the data being analyzed yet?"
At the Suhang Research Institute, Li Qing looked at the screen and urged.
With his high IQ and EQ, he had understood Ye Su's intentions almost immediately.
The Flood Dragon had turned into a Blood Jiao.
Its strength had increased significantly—what kind of method was this?
Some kind of explosive Secret Technique? Or a mutation during the life transition process?
Research it, research it with everything you've got.
If they could crack the mystery, all Professionals in Great Xia would essentially gain an additional explosive method.
Hearing Li Qing's words, the researchers' brains were practically smoking.
They wished they could shout,
"Stupid brain, hurry up and analyze!"
Not just Li Qing, the Research Institutes in other cities were almost the same.
They monitored the battlefield and were both amazed and delighted by the Flood Dragon's transformation.
Some even thought to themselves,
"Ye Su, hold on for a bit longer, hold on as long as you can!"
This was a great study; it was the first time such a mutation had appeared during a life transition.
Past increases in strength always had traceable patterns.
Yet this method was unheard of!
—Time marched on.
The blood qi, dyed black, had become Ye Su's normal state.
The power of the heart ape began to play an important role in Ye Su's power structure.
The blood qi seemed to submit to the heart ape's attributes.
Transmitting tyranny into Ye Su himself.
And this tyranny was also subtly influencing Ye Su.
But in Ye Su's subconscious, he had the idea of controlling and capturing the heart ape.
Between the collision of the two,
sparks of the soul erupted!
Suddenly, Ye Su stumbled.
The blood qi in his body seemed to pause for a moment.
A second later, when Ye Su recovered and opened his eyes again,
in the distance, Mo Xiaoyu couldn't help but cover her mouth, her pupils shaking!
Ye Su's eyes—they were a pair of golden pupils!
Whoosh—due to Ye Su's stumble,
the Blood Jiao had already seized the opportunity, and its bloody tail swept across.
The power of this strike was enough to smash an armored tank into pieces.
Yet Ye Su seemed completely oblivious.
His body was undergoing a transformation.
His muscle fibers seemed to receive some kind of empowerment, growing wildly.
Sizzle, sizzle...
His stature was also rapidly increasing.
Almost instantly, as if transforming, Ye Su became a muscular giant standing 2.3 or 2.4 meters tall.
On the surface of the muscles where his clothes had burst, a primal and tyrannical aura seemed to permeate.
This version of Ye Su, facing the incoming giant force of the bloody tail,
his eyes were full of arrogance.
He reached out.
Bang!
An airwave exploded!
A large circle of airwaves rippled out in a circular impact.
And that tail was firmly grasped in Ye Su's hand, while his figure remained as steady as a rock.
The next second,
muscles like gnarled tree roots suddenly exerted force.
The terrifying explosion of power was incredibly frightening.
Ye Su actually grabbed the tail and swung the hundred-meter Blood Jiao with raw strength!
The Blood Jiao's body swung through a hundred meters.
Its eyes were filled with complete incomprehension.
Then,
it was slammed hard onto the ground.
Boom!
Water splashed everywhere, and countless bits of mud flew about.
A large cloud of mist spread.
Blood kept oozing from the Blood Jiao's mouth; this swing had almost made it vomit out its internal organs.
Thud, thud, thud—Ye Su suddenly stepped back a few paces.
His body also seemed to deflate, returning to its original size.
At this moment, his eyes were full of clarity!
"Mo Xiaoyu, what happened to me just now?"
He asked quickly.
"I... I saw your body instantly grow a size larger, you possessed infinite strength, and you grabbed the Blood Jiao's tail and swung it in a circle."
"At that time, your eyes were golden, and you didn't... didn't look like a human, but more like a giant beast from the primal wilderness."
Mo Xiaoyu spoke; she was a bit stuck at first, but became more fluent as she went on, accurately describing the scene she saw!
Ye Su nodded.
In that instant,
the collision of sparks in his mind seemed to let him see something different.
After listening to Mo Xiaoyu's words,
his heart stirred, and he looked inward at his mind.
Sure enough, the Impact Vigor Skill had been completely swallowed by the heart ape (Martial Arts).
In its place, a golden point of light shone brilliantly in the Skill slot.
"Martial Arts allows one to comprehend Secret Techniques."
"What about Skills?"
"If a Professional swallows a Skill, is it possible to rely on their own ability to comprehend a Skill that belongs to them?"
"No—"
At this moment, Ye Su's thoughts were flowing like a spring; he seemed to have caught a moment of inspiration;
"It's not comprehending a Skill, but a kind of reference!"
"In that moment just now, I took the heart ape as the primary focus and used it as a reference."
"Ultimately, it manifested in reality."
"It seems that in that moment, I became the heart ape, and thus, my combat power rose in a straight line!"
Ye Su was still brainstorming.
But in the various Research Institutes, things had already exploded!
"Holy crap, a transformation!"
"Holy crap, Ye Su has a Second Stage too!"
"Holy crap, he's basically invoking a deity!"
"He... he's like a dry sponge, learning things from the Blood Jiao!"
"I'm floored..."
Although the footage the Research Institute received wasn't high-definition,
at that moment, Ye Su's change was far too obvious.
His entire body instantly grew much larger, and his combat power skyrocketed!
