Chapter 18 - The Three-clawed Dragon Further Evolves

Although the Xia Kingdom does not want to accept too many foreigners, which would inevitably lead to various domestic conflicts, it still maintains a warm and welcoming attitude toward rare elite talents.

Since then, Blue Star's human civilization has been led by the Xia Kingdom. The parallel situation of multiple countries that existed before the meteorite fell no longer remains.

As for the ferocious beasts, although there is a steady stream of them evolving around the world, they still do not look strong enough in front of Huang, the Martial Ancestor.

The basic physical training methods for warriors gradually became widespread in Xia. Anyone whose physical fitness reached the qualified standard would be rewarded by the state with a bottle of genetic potion to begin bodily evolution.

It was foreseeable that, in the future Blue Star, there would be no existence capable of threatening the Xia Kingdom.

Even the three-clawed dragon, at this stage, could not threaten Huang after he had taken Gene Potion Type III.

"This is not possible…" Jiang Yi frowned slightly, feeling that the development of things was not leading to the result he wanted.

It was true that warriors could continue to become stronger by relying on body training alone. Before the alien spaceship arrived, Huang's strength would definitely rise to a point stronger than in the [Age of Warriors].

But there was a limit to how far that strength could go.

Only by accepting trials of blood and fire, and constantly squeezing one's own potential in danger, could a warrior break through his own limits.

Jiang Yi closed his eyes and thought.

He could almost imagine that if no changes were made, the world of this deduction would at best follow the same path as the last cycle. Genetic medicines would only be developed up to the third generation. Huang's strength might become stronger, but it would still be limited.

"Oh… it seems there's no way to be lazy."

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

Jiang Yi opened his eyes, helplessness filling them.

If he wanted to accelerate the progress of Huang and Xia, he had to create an evenly matched enemy, or even a stronger one.

Only then would they feel pressure and tension, forcing themselves to advance.

In the deduction series "Evolution Frenzy," there were only three enemies worth mentioning: other countries, ferocious beasts, and alien spacecraft.

Other countries had already collectively pulled the plug.

The alien spacecraft would not arrive for another hundred years.

In other words, only one ferocious beast remained that could truly be regarded as Xia Kingdom's enemy.

"Mm."

In the next moment, Jiang Yi's figure appeared directly above the deep sea. As far as his eyes could see, it was nothing but vast ocean and rolling waves.

If he remembered correctly, the three-clawed dragon was living in this sea area at this time.

"System, exchange a bottle of meteorite virus stock solution for me."

["Ding! Five thousand deduction points have been deducted. Redemption successful!]"

After the system's voice fell, a bottle filled with virus solution appeared in Jiang Yi's hand. It reflected sunlight and shone in his eyes.

Jiang Yi looked down at the sea below. There were waves, and there was also a faint trace of nuclear radiation.

"What a coincidence. One of the 'mushroom bombs' from the United States happened to explode in this sea area."

"With the dual erosion and evolution of the virus stock solution and nuclear radiation, how far will the three-clawed dragon grow?"

Jiang Yi muttered, then poured all the liquid in the bottle into the ocean below.

Soon, the virus stock solution was diluted by seawater and vanished without a trace.

But relying on his god's-eye perspective, Jiang Yi could clearly see it: the concentration of evolutionary virus in this sea area had risen sharply, exceeding the previous level by ten or twenty times.

At first, the water was calm.

Then ripples appeared.

Not long after, violent waves erupted out of nowhere, throwing the deep-sea center into total chaos.

"Roar!!!"

Along with a deep bellow, like the roar of an ox, a colossal creature broke through the sea surface and surged upward from the endless depths.

Its expression was savage.

Its long, serpentine body writhed violently, its tail whipping and blasting seawater into the air.

Cracks spread across its skin, and as the old layers shed, hard scales grew one after another.

Its abdominal muscles twisted, and claw-like limbs formed.

Even its head changed. Powerful horns rose from it.

It was obvious.

After absorbing the virus stock solution that Jiang Yi released, the three-clawed dragon had leaped across countless evolutionary stages and entered a true dragon state.

And the remaining nuclear radiation and virus within its body had not been exhausted.

It was entirely possible that the three-clawed dragon would rise to an even more noble level.

"This development is finally a little more interesting."

Jiang Yi hung high in the sky, smiling as he watched the dragon below summon wind and rain, driving thunder and lightning.

This time, it was not as simple as merely increasing the three-clawed dragon's strength.

Any ocean beast that stayed in this sea area, or even lingered nearby for a short time, would be eroded by that terrifying virus solution and evolve into a stronger form.

The degree of evolution would not be as exaggerated as the three-clawed dragon's, of course.

But compared to the original evolutionary speed, it could only be called horrifying.

"When the virus stock solution spreads with the currents, the concentration of evolutionary virus across the entire Blue Star will rise."

"This is not only a carnival for the ferocious beasts, but also an opportunity for humans to push further."

"Let me see, Huang… what kind of surprise you can bring me."

Jiang Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, anticipation filling his gaze.

If nothing unexpected happened, the three-clawed dragon that had absorbed the virus stock solution would be very likely to evolve into a legendary, mythical form.

An unrivaled, overwhelming force, second only to the Devouring Behemoth that had devoured the entire Blue Star ecosystem.

If he wanted to defeat, or even kill, this terrifying dragon beast, Huang would have no choice but to temper his body like a madman, to desperately seek ways to become stronger, and to force himself to break through his original limits under the pressure of life-and-death crisis.

As for the other ferocious beasts that became stronger due to the stock solution, they could still be suppressed by Xia Kingdom's complete thermal-weapon system, so there was no need to worry about Xia Kingdom being instantly destroyed.

However, injury and bloodshed would be inevitable.
