Chapter 140 - 140: Starting Evolution!

"Ding… You received 20 energy points…"

"Ding… You received 30 energy points…"

"Ding… You received 26 energy…."

"Ding… You…."

Just as Robert was regretting his decision he heard systems prompt one after another which stupefied him.

What the hell? How can I get energy points so quickly?

Robert thought to himself as he heard the continuous system prompt. He felt that like before it would take some time for digestion and he would inevitably experience some pain but this is complete;y different from his expectation.

He has experienced no pain after the high-grade spiritual essence entered his stomach, not only that he also received so many spiritual essences.

In just 20 seconds the total amount of energy points he received has reached 3 digits and it's still climbing continuously.

This situation is not bad, right? Robert swallowed and thought to himself. By experiencing such little pain he can get so many energy points which is a good deal.

After 5 minutes the system prompt finally subsided and he stopped receiving more energy points. From this drop of High-Grade Spiritual essence, he got 900 energy points.

And in the ratio of Energy Points: Experience points: Evolution points which are 10:5:2 he could get 180 evolution points. Which is just a little less than the required amount which is 200 evolution points.

In the energy reserve, Robert already has 1200 energy points and by adding these 900 energy points he has 2100 energy points in total which is more than enough for evolution. He now needs to collect more than 14000 experience points for that he needs more than 28000 energy points.

That means he needs to consume more than 30 drops of High-Grade Spiritual essence….

Thinking of all the pain he has to suffer, Robert felt depressed. These days it's not easy to upgrade the cultivation base.

But this amount made him change his previous decision. Isn't it just a little pain? He can tolerate this amount of pain as long as he can get enough energy points.

"Try it! It's just 30 drops of High-Grade Spiritual Essence." Robert mumbled but this caused him to spit out some blood. His mouth and throat have been injured and it's very difficult to talk properly.

Robert wanted to drink the Healing potion to heal this injury but he stopped. If he heals the injury now then isn't he making a loss? 

After all, from one drop he is only getting 900 energy points and Healing potions costs 2000 energy points and these are limited in quantity.

If he uses the Healing potion now then he is making a loss of 1100 energy points which is not his intention.

So it's better to take more drops of High-Grade Spiritual essence before drinking the Healing potion. That way he can make a profit.

Thinking of this Robert decided to be cruel and picked up the Bottle filled with Spiritual essence. This time he did not pour one drop in the cap but two.

He wanted to test his limit. He wanted to see if his body could endure this amount of Spiritual essence.

If he could then he could get a lot of energy points with minimum pain.

Robert picked up the bottle cap and drank two drops of High-grade spiritual essence in one go.

"Ahhhh!"

Similar pain! Similar agony! Similar regrets! 

Robert experienced pain like before but due to the increased amount the amount of pain he suffered increased this time because of which he screamed hoarsely.

It's good that the door of the treasure room is closed, otherwise, people outside would hear his miserable scream.

Robert didn't dare to keep this spiritual essence in his mouth for long as he swallowed it and the Spiritual essence entered his stomach.

Robert laid on the ground with his body covered in a cold sweat and his face was bloody.

He spat out a mouthful of blood which dyed his white hair red.

"Ding… you received 30 energy points…."

"Ding… you received 40 energy points…."

"Ding… you received…."

Soon he heard a familiar system prompt and in just one minute he received 1950 energy points. 2100+1950 which totals 4050 energy points.

Now he has enough energy points for the required evolution points. Now he has two options in front of him, one is to continue consuming High-Grade spiritual essence and the other is to start the evolution.

The first option is not feasible as he is injured and consuming more high-grade spiritual essence may lead to an undesirable outcome.

And there is a limit for energy points storage. For now, he can only store 5000 energy points for emergencies.

Out of which only 1000 is remaining so there is no point in collecting more energy points.

It's better to do the evolution now and strengthen himself.

4:06

Before doing that let's do some healing, In this state if he conducts an evolution then the situation would be miserable.

PoP!

He opened the remaining bottle of the Healing potion and drank it. But this caused another burst of pain as his mouth and throat were riddled with wounds.

Robert endured the pain and swallowed the whole bottle of Healing Potion. After the consumption of the healing potion, he sat on the ground for recovery.

He didn't need to wait for long as a gentle force emerged from his body healing the injuries on his mouth and throat.

"Ah! Goddammit! I can finally speak!" Robert stuck out his tongue and exclaimed.

"Although there was a lot of pain, it was not for nothing. I now have enough energy points for Evolution!"

"Get to work! Start the evolution now!" Robert said enthusiastically. Finally, he can conduct another evolution, Last time he did an evolution was when he was at the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm.

At that time he got Attack Talent: White Blow Which is a very fierce attacking talent.

He didn't know what innate skill he would get this time. Will it be strong and special like before? 

Though this time he is not going for Auxiliary Talent or Attacking talent. For today's evolution, he is choosing the direction of Defence.

He now has good movement Talent, Good attacking Talent and he is only lacking a good defense talent.

Which he hopes to get from this evolution. 

"Host, Please select the supporting material for the Evolution. Note: Please select it carefully as it would determine the quality of the Innate Talent!"

Hearing System Robert froze for a second then he immediately said, "It's good that I have prepared for this already."

Robert walked toward the west part of the Treasure chamber and looked for something on numerous shelves.

"Here is it!" Robert exclaimed in joy as he finally found the material he had been looking for.

In the shelf at the back row, he found a hand-sized material.

This material is green and has a shiny luster, This is the broken part of the shell of Overlord Turtle.

Yes! He is going to use this material as the supporting material for this evolution. The last time he saw Overlord Turtle placing the piece here sneakily.

At that time he had the idea to use this material for Evolution. Because according to Aunt Rosy, The members of Overlord Turtle have perverted defense.

And even though Overlord Turtle here is an odd one his defense is not bad that made him decide to use it as supporting material.

And the level of the material itself is high which increases the chance for him to get good defense Innate Talent!

Without any hesitation, Robert swallowed the small fragment of the Turtle and said to the system, "System I want to use this fragment as a supporting material and I choose evolution direction as a defense!"

"Ding… enough energy points for Evolution points is detected, Would you like to convert it into Evolution points?"

"Yes!" Robert replied swiftly as he was extremely excited for the next innate talent. What will it be? Will it be awesome like before?

Robert didn't know but he is very excited about it and is looking forward to it.

'Converting…'

'Conversion successful!....'

'Ding …. Congratulations you have 200 evolution points….'

'Ding… The required amount of Evolution Points for Evolution is met…'

'Supporting material for Evolution has been found…'

'All the requirements are met…'

'Starting the preparation…'

'According to the host 's wish out of three Evolution directions, Defence Direction is selected….'

'Starting Evolution…'

Robert felt the same pain as the previous evolutions Like his body is on fire all of his bones are crushed by an unknown force and his blood is hot like magma.

But this amount of pain means nothing to Robert as he has experienced more terrible pains during the training.

He can bear this level of pain by clenching his teeth.

This pain did not last for long as his body returned to normal and he heard the system's prompt.

"Ding…. The host has evolved successfully…"

"Ding. According to Host wishes, You get a new Innate Defence Talent:...."

"....:Petrification…."
