Chapter 31: Heavy Armored Beast
When Chen Chu returned home, Chen Hu had not yet finished school.
He tossed his backpack onto the sofa and went upstairs.
In the room, the hexagonal salamander, which had grown to seventy centimeters after eating in the morning, lay on the ground, its black bean-like eyes quietly watching Chen Chu.
Anticipating this moment, Chen Chu opened a drawer and took out a box. He selected one of the three Ironclad Beetles and tossed it into the mouth of the hexagonal salamander.
“Let’s get started.”
Boom!
With Chen Chu's confirmation, a violent heat wave erupted from within the hexagonal salamander, which had already met the requirements for evolution.
This was the evolutionary energy that had been accumulating inside it, and wherever it passed, the cells of the salamander began to crazily split and compress, becoming even stronger.
Deep within the salamander’s body, the previously fixed gene sequences started evolving towards a more powerful and perfect direction after absorbing the Ironclad Beetle.
Crack! Crack!!
On the smooth and tough surface of the salamander's body, layers of dark black keratin skeletons grew like scales, emerging at a visible speed.
At the same time, a wave of heat appeared within Chen Chu's own body.
However, compared to the faint sensation he felt during the first evolution, this time the evolutionary energy was more than ten times stronger, and the strength of his muscles and bones increased at a terrifying pace.
This enhancement was holistic; every cell in his body was splitting, compressing, and becoming more explosive, while his internal organs grew stronger...
This evolution lasted for nearly an hour.
Huff!
Chen Chu exhaled, opened his eyes, and his black-and-white pupils shone brightly like black gemstones, with an indistinct sense of invisible pressure.
Feeling the surging power within him, Chen Chu smiled, as this increase exceeded his expectations.
Excited, he summoned the attribute page with a thought.

"All four attributes have increased by 30 points, equivalent to tripling the physique of an ordinary person. Some single attributes have even surpassed the first level of heaven limit."
Chen Chu glanced over his own attribute changes before his attention shifted to the clone data below.
The clone's name had changed to Hexagonal Heavy Armor Beast, completely severing its connection with the salamander. It was now a low-level exotic beast with a maximum size of three meters.
However, what caught Chen Chu's attention was the defensive talent listed below.
“Just as I thought, I've gained another talent this time.” Chen Chu smiled.
With a hundredfold volume of heavy pressure defense, plus a talent capable of unleashing a hundred times its strength, the clone, as long as it was handled carefully, posed no safety issues.
After reviewing the detailed attribute changes, Chen Chu put away the attribute page and looked at the heavy armored clone on the ground.
At this moment, the clone still measured seventy centimeters in length, the same as during the first evolution, but its density and weight had multiplied several times, and it was now thicker horizontally.
Its entire body was covered with a black armor-like exoskeleton, including the abdomen, especially on its back, where it resembled a patchwork of armor plates.
