15: Chapter 15 The Empress is shocked: How did it evolve again in just two days?!
After finally making it to the end of school, Chu Sheng was in a state of high excitement the whole time.
He didn't want to wait even a second longer; he just wanted to start his second evolution immediately!
Gu Yuexi also noticed his restlessness, but she just assumed the mosquito was hungry again or bored stiff in the classroom. Her cool face showed no ripples, though she snorted coldly in her heart.
"Insatiable creature."
How could she know that this "insatiable creature" in her eyes was about to undergo an earth-shattering transformation!
...
Back at that small, dilapidated rental room.
Gu Yuexi, as usual, threw her schoolbag and the plastic box containing Chu Sheng onto the table, then prepared to drag out her "cultivation resources" from under the bed—the corpse of that Spirit Green Snake.
"System! Now is the time! Start evolution!"
Seeing that the surrounding environment was safe, Chu Sheng did not hesitate to issue the command in his mind!
[Ding! Host has met the conditions for the second evolution, consuming 1 Evolution Point...]
[Second evolution, officially starting!]
[Estimated time: five hours!]
The moment the system notification fell, Chu Sheng felt darkness before his eyes again, and a familiar sense of deep sleep surged like a tide, completely engulfing his consciousness.
In the plastic box, his body, which was originally only 1.5 centimeters long, was wrapped by a thick cocoon emitting a faint red light.
And Gu Yuexi, who was just about to go get the snake corpse, suddenly felt that the mental link between her and that mosquito had become somewhat blurry, as if separated by a layer of frosted glass.
"Huh?"
She turned her head in confusion and looked at the plastic box on the table.
She saw that the mosquito had turned into a small, dark red cocoon at some point, and it was still pulsing slightly, like a beating heart.
"This is... evolved again?! "
Gu Yuexi's pupils shrank sharply, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.
It had only been one day!
It had just evolved once yesterday, and today it had started its second evolution already?!
What kind of monster is this?!
Even the legendary exotic beasts with the top-tier bloodlines couldn't possibly have such a fast evolution speed, right? This completely overturned her understanding from her two lifetimes of existence!
She stared fixedly at the small red cocoon, her mood complex to the extreme.
There was shock, confusion, but more than that, it was a kind of... anticipation that even she herself hadn't realized.
Perhaps... this guy really wasn't just a burden?
...
Time passed second by second.
Five hours later, the sky had completely darkened.
"Crack—"
A slight cracking sound rang out from the plastic box.
Gu Yuexi woke up from her cultivation with a start, her gaze instantly locking onto the red cocoon.
She saw that the surface of the red cocoon had split into fine cracks, and immediately after, a brand-new, power-filled limb stretched out from the crack!
Then came the second, the third...
Finally, accompanied by a soft "bang," the entire red cocoon completely shattered, and a brand-new creature appeared before Gu Yuexi's eyes!
"This..."
Even with Gu Yuexi's state of mind from living two lifetimes, she couldn't help but gasp when she saw Chu Sheng's new form, her cool, pretty face full of shock.
This... is this still a mosquito?!
In the plastic box, a "giant mosquito" with a body length of ten centimeters, pitch-black as ink, and shining with a cold, metallic luster, was slowly stretching its body.
Its wings, which were originally just somewhat large, had now become like two sharp black blades, the edges flashing with terrifying cold light!
The six limbs had also become thicker and more powerful, covered with tiny barbs, looking like six exquisite sickles!
At the same time, Chu Sheng also woke up from his deep sleep and opened his panel for the first time.
[Ding! Second evolution complete!]
[Congratulations to the Host, race has evolved from 'Primary Mutant Blood Mosquito' to 'Edge Wing Blood Mosquito'!]
[Panel updating...]
[Host: Chu Sheng]
[Race: Edge Wing Blood Mosquito]
[Lifespan: 93 days]
[Vitality: 11.6]
[Evolution Points: 1.8]
[Rank: None]
[Skills: Armor-Piercing Spike lv3, Blood Food Tracking lv1, Zerg Space lv2, Wing Blade Slash lv1 (New)]
[Note: The next evolution requires reaching 100 Vitality and consuming 10 Evolution Points!]
"Awesome!"
The moment he saw the panel clearly, Chu Sheng was so excited he almost flipped the plastic box lid!
Edge Wing Blood Mosquito! This name sounded much more prestigious than the previous "Primary Mutant" one!
His lifespan soared directly to over ninety days! Almost three months! Now he didn't need to worry about the short-life problem at all!
His body size had almost increased tenfold!
A ten-centimeter mosquito!
Just ask yourself, are you scared?!
The most crucial thing was the skills!
Not only did he gain a brand-new attack skill [Wing Blade Slash], but his original [Mother Mosquito Mouthpart] had actually evolved along with him, directly upgrading from lv2 to the lv3 [Armor-Piercing Spike]!
"Holy crap? So every time the race evolves, there's a chance to randomly upgrade an existing skill?"
Chu Sheng realized it instantly, and his heart blossomed with joy.
This was simply an unexpected surprise!
He hurriedly checked the detailed information of these two skills.
[Armor-Piercing Spike lv3]: The Host's mouthpart has received an epic-level enhancement, its strength and penetrating power comparable to a high-grade sharp weapon, capable of easily piercing the scale armor defenses of most first-grade demonic beasts!
[Wing Blade Slash lv1]: New skill! The Host can emit a blade-shaped slash condensed from wind elements by vibrating wings at high speed, causing cutting damage to the target! (Consumes a small amount of Vitality)
"Awesome! Too awesome!"
Chu Sheng waved his wings excitedly, and with a "swish" sound, he felt his wings were truly like blades, even cutting through the air with a whistling sound!
With a thought, he tried to activate [Wing Blade Slash]!
Hum—!
A pale cyan, almost invisible wind blade instantly shot out from his wings!
"Clang!"
The wind blade slashed fiercely against the inner wall of the plastic box, actually making a crisp sound like metal clashing, and it directly tore a hole in it!
"Holy cow! This power!"
Chu Sheng was startled himself; this was only lv1! If it were upgraded to max level, wouldn't he be able to split a mountain with one wing flap?
He looked down at his [Armor-Piercing Spike], which was as thick as a needle tip and flashing with metallic cold light, and felt even more stirred up.
This thing, let alone pigskin, could probably poke a hole through even thin steel plates now!
"Awesome! Invincible!"
Chu Sheng felt the surging power in his body and felt that he was now the Rambo of the mosquito world; a single mosquito taking on a whole division wouldn't be a problem!
However, after the excitement, he also noticed the requirements for the next evolution.
100 Vitality, 10 Evolution Points!
This requirement had increased tenfold!
"Looks like I'll be busy next!"
Chu Sheng put away his excitement and refocused his gaze on the path to becoming stronger.
