Chapter 18: Further Evolution of the Three-Clawed Jiao Dragon

Although Summer Country didn’t want to accept too many foreign populations, leading to inevitable conflicts within the country, they still maintained a warm welcome for rare elite talents.

Since then, the human civilization on Blue Star, led by Summer Country, no longer had multiple countries on par before the meteorite impact.

As for the ferocious beast issue, despite continuous evolution of ferocious beasts worldwide, they still appeared inadequate in front of Huang, the martial ancestor.

The basic tempering technique of warriors gradually became popular in Summer Country. Those who trained their physique to the qualified standard would be rewarded by the country with a bottle of gene serum, to initiate the path of body evolution.

It could be foreseen that in the future of Blue Star, there would be no existence capable of threatening Summer Country.

Even the Three-Clawed Jiao Dragon, at this stage, couldn’t threaten Huang, who consumed Gene Serum Type III.

“This won’t do…” Jiang Yi frowned slightly, feeling that the development of events didn’t lead to the desired outcome.

Indeed, warriors could continue to grow stronger solely by relying on tempering techniques. Before the arrival of the alien spacecraft, Huang’s strength would definitely surpass that of the “Era of Warriors.” However, such growth had its limits.

Only through blood and fire ordeals, continuously squeezing one’s potential in danger, could warriors break through their limits.

Jiang Yi closed his eyes and pondered. He could almost predict that if no changes were made, this simulation world would at most repeat the previous cycle.

Gene Serum would only be developed to the third generation, and Huang’s strength might become stronger but also very limited.

“Alas, it seems I can’t be lazy.

“In the end, I still need to take action personally.”

Jiang Yi opened his eyes, full of helplessness.

If one wanted to promote the progress of Huang and Summer Country, then they must shape an opponent who was evenly matched, or even stronger, to serve as the enemy. In this way, they could feel pressure and urgency, prompting their own progress.

In the “Evolutionary Frenzy” simulation series, the only options for enemies were other countries, ferocious beasts, and alien spacecrafts.

Other countries had collectively closed their doors.

The alien spacecraft wouldn’t arrive for another hundred years.

In other words, now the only enemy that could be considered for Summer Country was ferocious beasts.

Swoosh!

The next moment, Jiang Yi’s figure appeared directly above the deep sea, where his gaze encompassed the vast waves of the ocean.

If he remembered correctly, the Three-Clawed Jiao Dragon was currently living in this area.

“System, exchange a bottle of meteorite virus original liquid for me.”

[Ding! Deducting five thousand simulation points, exchange successful!]

As the system’s voice fell, a bottle filled with viral original liquid appeared in Jiang Yi’s hand, reflecting the sunlight, shining on his sparkling eyes.

Jiang Yi looked down at the sea below, where waves rolled, but there was also a hint of nuclear radiation.

“It’s quite a coincidence. One of the nuclear warheads from the United States just happened to explode in this sea area.

“With the dual erosion and evolution of viral original liquid and nuclear radiation, I wonder to what extent the Three-Clawed Jiao Dragon will grow…” Jiang Yi muttered, pouring all the liquid from the bottle into the ocean below.

Soon, the viral original liquid was diluted by the seawater, disappearing without a trace.

But Jiang Yi, with his godly perspective, could see that the concentration of evolution virus in this sea area had greatly increased, far exceeding ten or twenty times that of before.

The sea was initially calm, but then waves gradually rose. After some time, it suddenly turned into turbulent waves, completely stirring up the center of the deep sea.

Roar!!!

Accompanied by a low roar like a bull’s bellow, a huge creature broke through the surface of the sea, rising from the depths of the endless ocean.

Its expression was fierce, its serpentine body wriggling crazily, swinging its tail wildly, bursting the sea in this area out of thin air.

Its skin cracked, shedding off to reveal layers of hardened scales. Muscles on its abdomen writhed, growing limb-like claws. Even its head sprouted sturdy horns.

Obviously, after absorbing the viral original liquid deliberately released by Jiang Yi, the Three-Clawed Jiao Dragon directly bypassed countless stages of evolution and leaped to the state of Jiao Dragon.

Moreover, the residual nuclear radiation and virus in its body were not yet fully consumed.

It was highly likely to elevate the Three-Clawed Jiao Dragon to even greater heights.

“This development is finally getting interesting,” Jiang Yi’s figure hung high in the sky, smiling as he watched the dragon below command the wind and rain, and control thunder and lightning.

This time, it wasn’t just about enhancing the strength of the Three-Clawed Jiao Dragon.

Any marine ferocious beasts lingering in this sea area, or even those nearby, would be corroded by the terrifying viral original liquid, evolving into more powerful forms.

Although the extent of evolution was certainly not as exaggerated as the Three-Clawed Jiao Dragon’s, compared to the original evolution speed, it was absolutely “terrifying.”

“When the viral original liquid spreads along with the seawater, the concentration of evolution virus across the entire Blue Star will increase. This is not only a celebration for the ferocious beasts but also an opportunity for humanity to advance further.

“Let me see then, Huang, what kind of surprises you can bring me next.”

Jiang Yi squinted his eyes, full of anticipation for Huang’s next performance.

The Three-Clawed Jiao Dragon, which had absorbed the viral original liquid, was highly likely to evolve into the legendary mythical form, if there were no accidents.

That would be an unbeatable overwhelming force, second only to the Devouring Behemoth that consumed the entire ecosystem of Blue Star.

If one wanted to defeat or even kill this terrifying dragon, Huang would inevitably have to madly temper his own body, desperately researching ways to become stronger, and forcing himself to break through his existing strength under the pressure of life-threatening situations.

As for other ferocious beasts that became stronger due to the viral original liquid, Summer Country had various sophisticated thermal weapons to counter them, so there was no need to worry about Summer Country being wiped out all at once.

However, it was inevitable to suffer some setbacks.
