114: Chapter 114 Chang Chen awakens the SR-level [Electric Amber Controller], a young prodigy from the foot of Kunlun Mountain!

Chang Chen had enjoyed playing with spears since he was young. During winter breaks from school, he had studied spear techniques for a time from street performers in his hometown.

Although they were just ordinary showy moves, being able to wield a heavy iron spear meant he had some actual skill.

When the news of the Transcendent descent exploded across the globe, Chang Chen picked up his slightly rusty iron spear again and began practicing in his home.

The results were quite good. By then, he had already become a [Destined One] and stepped into the Transcendent Domain. His Physique was several times stronger, and after practicing for over an hour, he rediscovered the joy he felt when he first started.

To this day, it had only been a little over a week.

He had learned a few new spear techniques from a martial arts Great Master in Chang'an City, and this technique was the 《Initial Spear Art》 on his personal panel.

It was worth mentioning that although this technique was also simple, it contained a certain depth.

It had excellent effects when engaged in combat.

After checking the status on his personal panel, Chang Chen steadied his breathing, closed his eyes, and entered closed-door Cultivation.

Since Spiritual Plants almost exclusively grow in the wild, the more lush the vegetation and abundant the water, the denser the Spirit Energy Factor.

Chang Chen's body sounded like a beating drum, with muffled sounds emanating from his abdomen.

The Spirit Energy Factor in the small cave seemed to be summoned, flowing through his skin pores into his limbs and bones, transforming his body and Soul.

In reality, as the level of life elevates, a Transcendent's Physique not only increases significantly, but their lifespan also increases exponentially.

Although he had never verified it, based on Chang Chen's speculation and his experience from his Transmigration to the Origin Continent, he estimated that his current [E-Grade] Realm granted him a lifespan of about 150 years!

Of course, lifespan is not fixed.

There is a large disparity in lifespan among Transcendents of the same tier, which is heavily related to one's own Physique and ability talent.

For example, someone who Awakens a wood-type Healing ability talent will have a lifespan far exceeding others of the same tier.

Time passed slowly.

Half a day later, the muffled sounds in Chang Chen's abdomen became more intense.

"— — Break!!"

As a fierce shout rang out, the shackles of his Realm were shattered with a roar. The Transcendent energy within his body surged like a torrent, rushing relentlessly toward a brand new Realm!

The Spirit Energy Factor around the small cave ebbed and flowed like a tide, forming a small vortex that provided subsequent energy support for Chang Chen.

Soon, the commotion subsided, and the muffled sounds within his body disappeared.

At this moment, Chang Chen had successfully achieved a Breakthrough to the [E+ Grade]!

"My strength has increased by more than double. If I use my ability to augment it, I am capable of fighting against an [E++ Grade Transcendent]!"

Exhaling a breath of stale air, Chang Chen slowly opened his eyes. Sensing the surging power within his body, a hint of joy appeared on his brow.

With a thought, his brand new four-dimensional panel appeared before his eyes:

[Name: Chang Chen]

[Ability: Thousand-Force Spear Curtain (Prototype), Unnamed (Prototype)]

[Cultivation Technique: 《Street Spear Tricks》 (Peak), Initial Spear Art (Major Achievement)]

[ID: 0081777]

[Luck: 4]

[Race: Human]

[Strength: 29]

[Agility: 27]

[Physique: 28]

[Spirit: 28]

[Comprehensive Life Rating: E+]

...

"Huh? Did I just Awaken a brand new ability talent?!"

Upon seeing the second ability slot, Chang Chen exclaimed in surprise and carefully sensed the energy changes within his body.

"There really is a strange ability talent. Although it is very weak, its aura is very overbearing and filled with a powerful sense of strength."

"... This is a lightning-type ability!"

When he perceived the attribute of that strand of strange ability energy within his body, the surprise on Chang Chen's face suddenly turned into wild joy!

In terms of the ability system, [Meteorological Elements] are far stronger than [Five Elements].

Lightning-type abilities do not have the destructive effect as powerful as thunder-type ones, but they are equally overbearing.

Combined with the metal type, it possesses terrifying lethality!

Chang Chen sat on the ground and thought for a while, naming this ability [Electro-Amber Controller].

He waved his hand, and the panel before him changed, displaying the introduction information for the new ability:

[Electro-Amber Controller]

Lightning-type SR-Grade ability.

Ability Ancestral Seed color: White-Purple.

This ability possesses the destructive effect of the lightning type, as well as an incomparably overbearing sense of powerful strength.

When the ability is deployed, evil spirits retreat, life force is destroyed. It is a top-tier small-range annihilation strike ability among lightning types.

When imbued onto a cold weapon, it will be surrounded by white-purple electric light, possessing a piercing sharpness that strikes fear into the hearts of enemies.

"Hiss—this is simply an exclusive ability tailor-made for me!!"

"Using [Thousand-Force Spear Curtain] on my silver spear, combined with the white-purple electric light of the [Electro-Amber Controller], it is simply invincible, unmatched among the same tier!!"

Chang Chen's eyes burned with uncontrollable heat. The combination of lethality and small-range destructive effects far exceeded simple addition; it was a true qualitative change!

"First, Awaken the ability Ancestral Seed, then go to the wilderness to hone it..."

With that thought settled, Chang Chen went back into closed-door cultivation, embarking on the path of condensing his ability Ancestral Seed.

...

In reality, the First Qin Emperor's Mausoleum giving birth to 'spirituality' and becoming a forbidden zone of life was not an isolated case.

Across the East, and even globally overseas, spontaneous evolutionary zones of various sizes had appeared.

At this moment, in the Southern Frontier Province of the East, Kamsuo Town.

"Norbu, are you sure you want to go to the Sacred Mountain to pick snow lotuses? I heard Great Master Daizong say that the Sacred Mountain will have strange phenomena these days, and it is very dangerous."

"Zhuoma, don't worry. I'm very strong now; nothing will happen."

"... Alright then, Norbu, you must go and return quickly. If you encounter any danger, retreat immediately."

"Mm."

Norbu nodded solemnly, picked up the cloth bag filled with water and food beside him, and under the worried gaze of his middle-aged mother, turned and walked out of the dilapidated house built of stone slabs.

His figure moved unwaveringly toward the towering Sacred Mountain in the distance, hidden within the clouds and mist.

Norbu was 17 years old, with slightly dark skin, a few small braids tied on his head, a distinct plateau blush on his cheeks, and a genuine Southern Frontier face.

And that Sacred Mountain at the end of his line of sight was precisely the most famous one in the East since ancient times—the Kunlun Mountains!

Kamsuo Town was the small town in the Southern Frontier Province closest to the Kunlun Mountains. It was far from the hustle and bustle, and the herdsmen made their living by herding.

In the past, apart from a few tourists, very few people came to this remote and quiet plateau town.

It is worth mentioning that Norbu was originally attending high school in a nearby city, but with the great changes in the world, he was stranded at home.

A week ago at night, he discovered that his body had mutated, and he had Awakened an Innate ability.

Thus, he began his path of Cultivation, overcoming obstacles all the way, and stepped into the [E-Grade] level.

"In the past, snow lotuses were already highly valuable and known as the 'Plateau Immortal Plant'. With the Spiritual Energy Revival, they must have undergone some astonishing evolution!"

As he walked out of the town with the bag on his back, Norbu thought to himself, becoming more certain of his speculation.

The reason he went to the Kunlun Mountains alone to pick snow lotuses was that the ability he Awakened required ice-type Spiritual Plants to assist his Cultivation.

The Kunlun Mountains are high in altitude, covered in ice and snow all year round, and exceptionally cold. There are not many plants that can overcome the harsh natural environment to grow there; the most famous ones are the snow lotus and cordyceps.

Swoosh—!

Just at this moment, as Norbu was walking and thinking, a Golden Eagle over three meters long, its feathers shimmering with golden light in the sun, suddenly shot down from the sky, its eyes cold and ruthless, intending to prey on Norbu!

The Golden Eagle's speed was extremely fast, like lightning, its flight path leaving afterimages. In the blink of an eye, it had arrived above Norbu's head.

It opened its sharp talons, sharper than steel blades, and was about to violently grab at Norbu's head!

"Clang!!"

At the dangerous moment of death, Norbu, who had previously seemed to have no signs of awareness, suddenly moved!

He turned around rapidly, and an icy-cold ice cone shot from his wrist!

The ice cone was incredibly hard, exceeding the speed of sound, and collided with the Golden Eagle's steel talons, emitting a crisp and piercing scratching sound.

"Want to prey on me? Little Eagle, aren't you a bit too confident?!"

Looking at the Golden Eagle's massive body, a flash of interest crossed Norbu's black eyes.

He really liked large birds like goshawks and Golden Eagles. He hadn't had the chance before, but since he had encountered one now, let it become his pet beast!
