87: Chapter 87 Racial Evolution! Thunderbird

Outside the suburbs of Jianghai City, on Divine Phoenix Mountain.

On the mountaintop, a giant white bird lay prone on the ground, eyes tightly shut.

Its body trembled slightly from time to time, and a series of cracking sounds issued incessantly from within, accompanied by the sound of blood rushing like a turbulent river.

Wisps of golden electric arcs flickered faintly in the surrounding air, mingling with the white mist of spiritual energy like the prelude to a thunderstorm.

If anyone could see inside Ye Yang, they would be astonished to find that his cells were rapidly growing and dividing!

From the deepest part of his body, a golden light emerged from nothingness and flowed into every limb and bone of his body!

This golden light was even more formidable than human rifle weaponry; it easily sliced through all of Ye Yang's muscles, shattered his bones, surged into every bit of flesh, and nourished and strengthened his heart!

Even the cells that were already rapidly strengthening underwent subtle, unknown changes under the nourishment of this golden energy...

Just like that, half an hour passed.

"Notification: Your internal bloodline evolution is successful!"

"Notification: Your race has changed to Thunderbird!"

"Notification: The proficiency of your internal talent, Intimidation, has increased!"

"Notification: The proficiency of your internal Telepathic Sensing has increased!"

"Notification: The proficiency of your internal Basic Breathing Technique has increased!"

Accompanied by the system notification sounds in his mind, Ye Yang's unconscious consciousness gradually awakened.

"Damn it, that hurt so much!"

Ye Yang stood up, and a sound like popping firecrackers rang out from within his massive body.

Recalling the intense pain from just a moment ago, Ye Yang clicked his tongue.

Ever since he was reincarnated as a bird, the strange events and pain he had experienced had long since caused his willpower to far exceed that of his past human life, yet the pain just now had still caused him to pass out.

This immense pain was simply a level higher than when he previously evolved to "D-" grade!

Seeing the information left by the system in the system log, he muttered to himself in his heart.

All the skills and talent proficiencies within his body had increased, but the biggest change was naturally his race!

"Thunderbird..."

He lowered his head to look at his body; his originally snow-white feathers now faintly emitted a trace of golden light, and his white talons had turned a golden hue. The golden light revealed an astonishing sharpness that even made him feel a trace of palpitations.

Whoosh!

A golden streak of light shot straight into the clouds, speeding off into the distance!

Ye Yang flashed over to the lake; he wanted to see the changes in his appearance more clearly.

"So fast... about fifty percent faster than before..."

He was shocked in his heart. His speed had already been close to supersonic, reaching nearly three hundred meters per second when bursting with full power in the air; yet now, his speed had already surpassed supersonic!

He cast his gaze toward the still, azure-blue lake surface.

The calm, ripple-free mirror-like surface clearly reflected Ye Yang's appearance.

The outer edges of his snow-white feathers were tinged with a faint layer of gold, and the feathers at his tail had become exceptionally long—over two meters long, almost half the length of his body.

A striking, pure-gold crest had grown on his head, looking extremely magnificent and regal.

His pupils were still golden, but deep within his Golden Eagle eyes, wisps of golden electric arcs flashed from time to time.

"Such a big change..."

Ye Yang stared at his reflection in the mirror-like surface before him.

Although the details of the changes appeared small from his appearance—just a bit more gold on certain body parts—Ye Yang was certain that this change was even greater than the last time his bloodline evolved into a White-Feathered Giant Eagle!

He felt that his body now not only had speed that surpassed before, but its explosive power was even stronger!

Furthermore, he also sensed a very powerful energy lurking within his body...

That power made him feel extremely horrified; if it were to awaken, he feared his body would instantly be shattered into mincemeat.

Golden energy...

"Thunderbird... I wouldn't really possess the power of lightning, would I?"

Ye Yang was shocked in his heart.

He could have predicted his evolution from a Sparrow bloodline into an eagle-bird type.

After all, if not for the existence of spiritual energy causing his evolution level to rise, the performance of a White-Feathered Giant Eagle would likely only be slightly stronger than a Golden Eagle in nature.

Originally, he had thought that with this bloodline evolution, he would evolve into a creature even more ancient and powerful than a White-Feathered Giant Eagle.

But looking at his current appearance, especially sensing the latent power contained deep within his body, it far exceeded the creatures in his cognition.

It's a bit like a creature from human science fiction movies...

"Forget it, I won't think about it. Anyway, as long as I've become stronger, that's fine."

"The power hidden in my body cannot be triggered yet... It should be because my evolution level is too low..."

...

Whoosh!

A sound of breaking air came from the air, and the golden figure vanished from where it stood.

A few breaths later, Ye Yang returned to the summit of Divine Phoenix Mountain.

"Hm?"

Upon arriving at the summit of Divine Phoenix Mountain, Ye Yang saw Big Brown Bear Xiong Da, Giant Panda Xiong Er, and Monkey King Wukong on the summit.

Boom...

The summit shook, and Ye Yang landed steadily on the ground of the summit.

The three fellows had come to the summit because they had heard that massive cry.

But what confused them was that their Boss was not on the summit territory!

Unlike the confusion of Big Brown Bear Xiong Da and Monkey King Wukong, Giant Panda Xiong Er's shiny black panda eyes gradually looked toward the glowing white jade bamboo on the summit.

Saliva couldn't help but secrete from the bear's mouth, wetting its chest.

A golden figure flashed by, and the three animals trembled all over.

They looked forward; it turned out the Boss had returned.

Wait... the Boss's appearance...

The three animals were stunned, because under the sunlight, the golden light attached to Ye Yang's snow-white body was shining brilliantly, exceptionally dazzling.

At the same time, as they got closer, they felt that the golden light made their skin faintly sting, as if a creature's fangs were pressing against their skin.

The Boss has become stronger again...

Ye Yang's golden pupils gazed at the intelligent eyes of the three animals, and he nodded with satisfaction.

After nearly a month of training, these three fellows' intelligence had made significant progress, reaching at least the cognitive level of a twelve or thirteen-year-old human.

Afterwards, he looked up at the sky; the shadow of that pale white moon was becoming increasingly red and bright.

"According to what those two girls said... there is still half a month until the red moon astronomical phenomenon..."

He lifted his golden talons and took a few steps.

"With half a month left, my evolution level should be able to rise again..."

"Even if the red moon appears and unknown dangers descend... I will definitely have the power to protect myself!"

His golden pupils moved, and his gaze looked toward the direction of Jianghai City.

"I wonder what actions the humans will take..."

There were traces of humans in the cave murals within the Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve; it was very likely that humans had already noticed the red moon long ago.

In fact, that was indeed the case.

Regarding the half-month red moon astronomical phenomenon, the upper echelons of various countries had also begun to gradually treat it seriously...
