Chapter 97: A Flood Dragon Has Already Been Raised on the Planet (Part Two)

Fortunately, Baichuan discovered this problem early enough, and within his now enormously vast ability structure repository, he found a feline ability model.

He successfully evolved the "High-speed Neural Reaction LV2" on his Ability Panel, which finally resolved this troubling issue.

But Baichuan knew that perhaps, until he could solve the problem of his neural reactions slowing down in the future.

He might need to consciously limit the growth of his own body size.

Because this evolved ability was the highest among all the reaction-type abilities he had searched through in the entire structure repository.

Although now he had not only solved the problem of slowed reactions, but also increased his reaction speed considerably.

But this was ultimately only treating the symptoms, not the root cause; this kind of reaction-speed ability still had its limits for now.

Increasing body size was indeed a good thing — in ordinary worlds without special powers, weight and tonnage represented strength, represented everything.

But all of this had to be within his controllable range, not become a burden on him!

Besides that, during this year he also gathered the Electric Discharge abilities of electric-generating creatures from the sea: Electric Eel, electric ray, electric catfish, and so on.

From these, he successfully evolved his Electric Generation from LV2 to LV3 (Banzhu), and the intensity of his Electric Discharge finally reached three thousand volts from the previous less than one thousand volts!

That's right, three thousand volts!

This was no longer within the range of ordinary high-voltage electricity — what could such a powerful voltage accomplish?

Baichuan had personally experimented: while immersing himself in water to mitigate the damage the current did to himself, he released his full power of three thousand volts of high-voltage current, and could turn iron weapons on land into a puddle of molten iron within ten minutes!

If such a powerful current landed on a human body, what consequences would it cause?

Baichuan had tested that too.

Instantly charred black and carbonized!

Without a doubt, blackened and carbonized!

Not the slightest chance of survival!

Unless the target struck by Baichuan's electricity was already a completely inhuman existence, possessing immortality, flesh-and-blood regeneration, or extraordinary high resistance to electricity.

But based on the information Baichuan currently understood, no one in this world should be able to reach that level.

Of course, whether the Da Zhou Dynasty had such outrageously powerful experts, he had no way of knowing.

After all, he had never tested it — without understanding, he had no right to speak.

Speaking of which, the reason his electricity could be so powerful was that Baichuan drew inspiration from the electric ray's Electric Discharge ability and redistributed the position of his electric-generating muscles.

No longer did they completely occupy the tail muscles, thereby affecting his own muscular structure.

Instead, like the electric ray, they were evenly distributed beneath the surface layer of his body's skin.

Only in this way did he achieve such terrifying power — this was precisely the bonus brought by his enormous body size!

If not for wanting to completely avoid affecting his own strength, Baichuan could even have increased the intensity of his current a bit more!

Thereby reaching five thousand volts, but as it stood now, there wasn't much difference between three thousand and five thousand — very few of the creatures he had encountered could withstand such high electrical energy.

As for those large animals that could withstand it, Baichuan felt that using raw physical strength was more comfortable.

Ahem, he didn't know if this was a side effect of his massively increased body size leading to massively increased strength.

Baichuan now actually somewhat enjoyed the feeling of using brute force to oppress those creatures.

That feeling of pressing down with one claw, then watching the animal pinned to the ground unable to rise or struggle, only able to whimper and beg for mercy in its pitiful state.

All of it gave him a sense of spontaneous exhilaration and pride, to the point that he was somewhat addicted to it………

So that every time Baichuan recalled it, he had to silently repeat several times: I'm not a pervert! I'm really not a pervert!

Of course, what Baichuan meant here was that he was addicted to the pleasure brought by violence — he absolutely had no kind of deranged thoughts.

Ahem, but let's not mention that here — he, Baichuan, was still a Flood Dragon who cared about his reputation!

However, such powerful current inevitably caused enormous damage to himself as well, especially on land.

Fortunately, his Electric Discharge ability was now evenly distributed in the surface layer of his skin, and combined with his current protection had also reached LV2.

So actually speaking, it was now easier to insulate himself from the damage the current caused to his own body.

After all, it was all in the surface layer — as long as he insulated it, it wouldn't affect his soft internal organs, and things would be easy to handle.

And damage to the surface layer, in Baichuan's view who possessed the DNA Repair ability from bats and the Regeneration ability from sea cucumbers, was still acceptable.

Therefore, Baichuan could finally use this power now without causing enormous harm to himself.

Of course, if he wanted to use this power wantonly in the air to reach the maximum voltage of three thousand, that was still not very possible.

No matter what, repairing his own damage still required Time, and this was one of the reasons he hadn't blindly increased the intensity of his current.

He still couldn't achieve flesh-and-blood regeneration in minutes.

But as long as the current wasn't too powerful, not exceeding one thousand volts, he could use it completely with ease.

Besides his own changes, his exploration finally saw a turning point too!

After searching for so long, he finally discovered a trace of extraordinary power on this continent!

Of course, saying it like that wasn't quite accurate, because this power he had only scanned on a single human.

Other humans completely lacked it.

So this could probably be called a mutation.

This newly descended unfamiliar continent of his was no longer a primitive wilderness.

A vast Empire had begun to appear on it, ruling over everything around it.

Unfortunately, this vast Empire was not as terrifying as the Da Zhou Dynasty he had first encountered.

Likewise, it had no extraordinary power whatsoever — only ordinary cold weapons.

And it was precisely this time that he truly understood how powerful his current strength was, having reached a level where he feared no Empire.

He had personally exposed himself above the capital of the Empire, circling with his slender body to demonstrate his power.

He even descended and used his slender, enormous body to coil around the splendid palace where the Empire's king resided.

He brought his dragon head, as massive as a small house, close to the king's face, his sharp, cold eyes locking with the king's.

Using that terrifying gaze born from tearing apart countless prey, he intimidated the ambitious king, warning him not to dream of plotting against him.

In that battle, he saw a rain of arrows sweeping down like a blanket from the sky, but for the Flood Serpent whose wings now spanned thirty-six meters and could soar above the heavens.

He only needed to beat his wings violently to stir up massive air currents that changed the direction of the arrow rain.

One must understand, in a world without any special powers, for a creature to fly into the sky using its own wings, how could those wings be mere decoration?

Without powerful air-current-generating ability, how could it manage to lift its own heavy body into the sky, even if the process involved gliding by borrowing various updrafts.

Of course, being able to stir up air currents to blow away the arrow rain was, to some extent, also thanks to Baichuan being over a hundred meters away from those archers.

If within a hundred meters, the current Baichuan found that he still could not blow those arrows off their flight path.

But within a hundred meters, with his current defensive power, if it were bat wings they might still be pierced, but those feathered wings, with feathers as hard as metal.

Could still block most of the arrowheads, and the few that struck his body were further stopped by his now LV3 scales, and if all else failed he could simply fly away.

Thus, that great battle.

After he beat his wings and stirred up violently visible air currents, the arrows raining down from the sky went crooked and lost their aim, falling in all directions.

Then, with a deep breath, he spewed forth rolling flames imbued with poisonous gas, and the war was over.

Countless soldiers were corroded and burned beyond recognition by that burning toxic fire; even those farther away were clutching their blinded eyes or convulsing at various vulnerable mucous membranes.

Don't forget, his flames were burned from the high-temperature, highly corrosive Benzoquinone Solution — that is a violently toxic chemical liquid!

Based on this single ability alone, Baichuan could be invincible in this ordinary world.

Perhaps this ability's level isn't high, only LV2, and on its original host, the Bombardier Beetle, it could only disgust and drive away enemies, or perhaps provide a slight stinging sensation.

But, some abilities, you know.

Sometimes you can't just look at the ability level alone; some things, as long as the dosage... ahem, the quantity is enough, can achieve a transformation from quantity to quality.

For example...
