Chapter 12: A Hundredfold Strength
In this evolution of the clone, Chen Chu's main body also received feedback, with all four attributes gaining a boost of 3 points, reaching the standard of an ordinary person.
The mental attribute exceeded that of an average person by a margin.
This change was an unexpected joy.
On the other hand, the salamander clone underwent a more exaggerated transformation, directly evolving from a weak creature into a low-level extraordinary being, gaining a talent called strength.
Although the notes indicated that the current clone's body could only unleash tenfold strength, its potential reached a hundredfold, as long as the body strength kept up.
At this moment, the talent might not seem very strong, as a hundredfold explosion of its current size was just so-so. But what if, in the future, the clone evolved to several dozen meters or even hundreds of meters in length?
By then, a hundredfold strength explosion would be enough to shake the heavens and move the earth.
Suppressing the excitement within, Chen Chu weighed the clone again.
Before the evolution, the thirty-centimeter salamander weighed only seven taels, but after the evolution, the same volume reached over three jin, with density increasing by about five times.
After weighing, he conducted other tests.
For instance, crawling; the strong limbs allowed the clone to move quickly on the ground, much more agile than before, like a little lizard.
At the same time, the claws on its four limbs could tear through paper, sharp as little knives.
Due to the strengthening of the bones, even the teeth became much sharper, with a stronger biting force that could easily crush a fish head bone.
Chen Chu was very satisfied with the results of this evolution. His clone had finally transformed from a weakling into a carnivorous beast, even though it was now just the size of a small puppy.
Next, Chen Chu used his consciousness to control the clone to crawl around the room, adapting to the changes after the evolution. Once he felt it was about right, he stopped.
"It’s time to continue today's training," Chen Chu opened his eyes.
He wondered how the overall boost in his physique would affect his training.
With anticipation, Chen Chu sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and entered a meditative state.
In the dark consciousness space, a lotus flower made of dashed lines slowly rotated. The lotus had three clearly visible petals, representing Chen Chu's progress of three petals.
At that moment, a mental power, stronger than before, enveloped the lotus.
Under this mental power meditation, a transparent petal gradually became clear from the bottom, solidifying, with even the patterns on it becoming visible.
"Ha! One petal."
On the bed, Chen Chu exhaled, revealing a smile.
This time the training progress was +9, mental attribute +0.2, and the training speed was twice that of before, with the mental fatigue after training not feeling so intense.
But soon, a contemplative look appeared in Chen Chu's eyes as he thought of the top-ranked person in the new cohort.
Now, with each meditation, he could condense one petal of the lotus, and with two sessions of training a day, he could complete the lotus platform meditation technique in six days under normal circumstances, with his mental talent being considered above average.
Yet that girl named An Fuqing completed foundation establishment in just two days. Even if she used resources to nurture her mental power, her foundational mental attribute must be at least above 20 points.
As for her physique, her foundational attributes must also be above 20 points; otherwise, even with resources to replenish qi and blood, completing foundation establishment in two days would be impossible.
Moreover, there were talents like Lin Xue and others ranked in the top hundred, expected to complete foundation establishment in four or five days.
Thinking of this, Chen Chu slowly exhaled, suppressing the faint sense of superiority brought by the attribute page. He couldn’t underestimate others.
