Evolving infinitely from ground zero

20 seconds passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Zichen emerged unscathed from the Exotic Plant Level and arrived at the Exotic Beast Level of the second stage.

Elsewhere.

Special Training Building.

On the rooftop.

The leaders from City No.1, including Qin Chuan, were utterly shocked and couldn't believe their eyes when they saw that Lin Zichen had fast-passed the Exotic Plant Level in just over a minute without a scratch.

"What's happening, why aren't the exotic plants in the forest attacking him, and are even uprooting themselves to make way for him?"

"Could it be... like the heretics from the Divine Plant Cult, he has fused with the gene of the Wood Elf?"

"No, that's not right, he's on the Pureblood Human Path of Body Refinement, he hasn't fused with any Exotic Beast Gene, so he shouldn't have the abilities of the Wood Elf!"

"So what exactly is going on here?!"

"..."

While everyone was puzzled and could not figure it out,

Qin Chuan, the City Lord, furrowed his brow and offered his analysis:

"It's spiritual power."

"That lad named Lin Zichen has an exceptionally strong spiritual power."

"He must have used his spiritual power to suppress the exotic plants around him, and then removed the ones in his path with his spiritual power, creating the magical scene of the plants making way for him."

"..."

Upon hearing this, everyone else was stunned.

If it was as Qin Chuan said, how high must Lin Zichen's spiritual strength be?

High-Order High Level?

Close to the level of Rare?

But how could that be possible!

Many Genetic Integrators from the Spiritual Series couldn't possess such strong spiritual power while their Biological Level was still at High Level.

And Lin Zichen, being a Pureblood Human following the Body Refinement path, his spiritual power, however strong, shouldn't exceed that of a Spiritual Series Genetic Integrator, theoretically speaking.

"Could it be due to some special physique?"

Shangguan Yuehua, one of the Deputy City Lords, mused after a moment of thought.

Other leaders nearby agreed that Lin Zichen must have a special physique, which is why his spiritual power was so freakishly strong.

...

In the forest.

Lin Zichen, who had entered the Exotic Beast Level, was unaware that the rooftop leaders had mistaken his [Forest Lord] effect for mere spiritual strength.

He didn't care in the slightest as to how the leaders were analyzing him.

Now, all he wanted was to display his strength and earn a substantial amount of Evolution Resources.

For that purpose, whether it was showing off his ultimate physical body or his ability to devour Exotic Beasts and obtain their Biometric Attributes, he was no longer concealing them and chose to reveal everything unreservedly.

As for becoming too extraordinary and attracting attacks from traitors, he no longer considered that a concern.

Because he had already been targeted by traitors, and no matter how low-key he acted in the future, those meant to attack him would still do so.

Since that was the case, he might as well go all out and display his capabilities, which would, at least, earn him some extra Evolution Resources.

"Crystal Demon Bear, High-Level Fifth Order."

"Steel Eagle, High-Level Fourth Order."

"Unrecognized exotic beast, High-Level Third Order."

"Unrecognized exotic beast, High-Level Second Order."

"Death Thread Spider, High-Level First Order... "

Lin Zichen extended his spiritual power and sensed carefully the Exotic Beasts of the second stage, scrutinizing their Biological Level.

He discovered an enormous number.

All of them were High Level Creatures.

The overall strength was formidable.

If the difficulty of the first level was three stars, then the difficulty of this second level was four stars.

The difficulty had risen by one degree.

"With so many High-Level Exotic Beasts, I don't know how many Exotic Beast Albums I can unlock, or how many precious Beast Cores I can gain..."

Just the thought alone excited Lin Zichen.

Immediately, he took a step as swift as an arrow and charged towards the attacking range of the beasts.

No matter what the exotic beast was, he would throw a fierce punch to blast it into a cloud of blood mist.

Then, with a vacuum grip, he would suck the scattered Beast Core into his hand and into the Storage Space within his Sea of Consciousness.

Simultaneously, with just a thought, he devoured their Life Origin.

[You have devoured a large amount of the "Crystal Demon Bear" Life Origin]

[You've successfully unlocked the Crystal Demon Bear Album, acquiring the Biometric Attribute—Ultimate Hardening]

[Ultimate Hardening: You can generate a layer of protection with extremely high hardness on the surface of your body.]

...

[You have devoured a large amount of the "Death Thread Spider" Life Origin]

[You've successfully unlocked the Death Thread Spider Album, acquiring the Biometric Attribute—Death Entanglement]

[Death Entanglement: Your mouth can shoot out high-strength fiber threads to entangle your prey.]

...

[You have devoured a large amount of the "Black Poisonous Bee" Life Origin]

[You've successfully unlocked the Black Poisonous Bee Album, acquiring the Biometric Attribute—Lethal Venom]

[Lethal Venom: The hard parts of your body, such as hair, nails, teeth, etc., can release a large amount of lethal venom.]

Inside the second-level Exotic Beast Level,

Lin Zichen was not aiming for speed in completing the stage but instead went wherever the beasts were most numerous, taking down one Exotic Beast with each punch, crazily collecting Beast Cores and devouring exotic beast genes.

In just a few short minutes,

The second stage, which had been swarming with beasts, had turned deadly silent due to his slaughter, and the roars of the beasts were nearly inaudible.

...

Special Training Building.

On the rooftop.

Seeing Lin Zichen unleashing a massacre in the second level, where all Exotic Beasts were no match for him, left the leaders dumbfounded.

They had never imagined Lin Zichen's physical body could be so powerful.

No matter the beast, it was blasted with a single punch.

The leader surnamed Qian spoke with an incredulous face, "Even High-Level Fourth Order beasts are blasted with one punch, is the Pureblood Human Path really that powerful?"

The Deputy City Lord surnamed Bai took a sharp breath, "Judging by his performance just now, his full-power output has to be at least at the level of a High-Level Fifth Order, even nearing that of a High-Level Sixth Order."
