Chapter 22: Changsheng Group Prepares to March into the Dali Mountain Range!

Lu Chuan was almost stunned by the successive notification sounds; after coming to his senses, he immediately checked the introduction for this new Bloodline Talent and couldn't help but glance at Jingang.

"A Bloodline Talent that boosts combat power, not bad."

He read through the introduction regarding 【Diamond Transformation】 and nodded slightly—

【Diamond Transformation: Envelops the body surface in a layer of protective golden radiance; once activated, it can increase physical strength.】

"Heh, let's give it a try."

Lu Chuan's thoughts stirred, and a layer of golden radiance instantly enveloped his entire body; however, this golden radiance was exceptionally pure, even more eye-catching than what Jingang had displayed before.

This layer of golden radiance made Lu Chuan appear as if he had transformed into golden light, his whole body a radiance that could not be looked at directly, possessing a profound sense of nobility and inviolability.

Creak—

At the same time, Lu Chuan's body size also surged significantly; that thick, long body was covered in solid muscles, with very distinct lines.

At this moment, he felt his body filled with countless strength. Seeing a giant rock not far away, coincidentally wedged between two peach trees, he moved slightly, and that massive snake tail swept across.

Rumble—

In an instant, the giant rock turned into countless fragments and flew off; some gravel hitting the tree trunks was like bullets, with immense impact! Yet at this moment, he felt not a hint of pain.

Lu Chuan was immediately satisfied: "Not bad, not bad. With such a strong and powerful physical body, as well as immense strength, I no longer fear basic impacts. When the time comes to devour other fierce beasts, I can let go and do it!"

Although he could have shattered that giant rock without the blessing of Diamond Transformation, he would have always felt some pain.

But this time, it was just like crushing a blade of grass, very easy.

How could Lu Chuan be anything but satisfied?

Seeing this scene, the underlings all shuddered, and when their gazes landed on Lu Chuan, the look in their eyes became increasingly fanatical.

Even... some timid Giant Apes and wild wolves prostrated themselves on the ground, submitting to Lu Chuan.

They had not been enslaved by Lu Chuan's 【Soul-Seizing Pupil】; some still took Jingang or Huitailang as their leaders and had no desire to listen to Lu Chuan's orders.

However, after seeing this scene, all that remained in their hearts for Lu Chuan was awe.

At this very moment, Jingang widened its eyes, full of disbelief and pride, secretly thinking to itself: "Boss has awakened the same ability as me!"

"Hehehe, my Jingang's ability is actually so useful."

It was genuinely happy for Lu Chuan, but this feeling of sharing a common trait with the boss also made it very happy and proud, as if it were its great honor.

Lu Chuan noticed the change in expression of these underlings, especially Jingang, whose eyes held not only fanaticism but also reverence, and he immediately thought to himself: "With this Diamond Transformation, I won't fear anyone in close-quarters combat from now on."

He mused for a good while, then refocused his gaze on the attribute panel. Seeing that he was only a few dozen points away from reaching 1000 Evolution Value, he was in a great mood and began to instruct his underlings.

"From now on, you will continue to scavenge for all the Strange Fruit in this mountain range, and not just this mountain range; if there are Strange Fruit in other mountain ranges, you can go there too."

"Yes!"

The underlings cheered and hurriedly scattered in all directions.

They had previously been distressed that there were not many Strange Fruit in the Dali mountain range; now that Lu Chuan had lifted the restrictions, it was exactly what they wanted.

The outside world.

"Have you heard?"

"As long as you get a Strange Fruit, you can become a Transcendental!"

"That kind of transcendental power is too amazing; if only I could get one!" "Is that for real?"

It was just past dinner time, and the topics of conversation among people after their meals had quietly changed.

A young man returned from work and, hearing this, smiled at his neighbor, "Of course it's true. This matter was announced by the Changsheng Group and has already been verified. But even the pets around us have become manic, so how can we go into the wild to search for Strange Fruit?"

"That's no different from courting death!"

After the young man finished speaking, he shook his head with a bitter smile and went upstairs.

However, these neighbors were no longer calm.

Several middle-aged people in their forties or fifties thought carefully about what the young man had said, then suddenly stood up, speaking in surprise, "Since Xu said this matter is true, then it is true. He never talks nonsense."

"But... the wild is very dangerous, right?"

These days, news of wild beasts going on a rampage and frequently hurting people was reported from time to time, which made many people afraid to leave the city.

One of the middle-aged men smiled, "Can't we just not go into the wild?"

"Don't forget, there are still parks nearby, planted with many flowers and plants, and our city also has a botanical garden. Perhaps we can find Strange Fruit there!"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and regardless of the fact that it was about to get dark, they immediately ran off excitedly.

In fact, it wasn't just them; even some noble families and financial groups were searching for Strange Fruit on a massive scale.

However, their methods were better. These noble families and financial groups had dispatched armed forces, as well as the Transcendental under their command, into the mountains to frantically plunder Strange Fruit.

After all, their vision and foundation told them that there would definitely be no Strange Fruit in the city, and even if there were, they would be eaten by lucky people like Zhao Hu.

Although the noble families and financial groups successfully obtained many Strange Fruit using armed forces, they also suffered heavy losses due to encountering powerful strange beasts during the process.

This day, Jianghai City's top financial group—Changsheng Group—suddenly issued an announcement—

【#Three days from now, Changsheng Group will lead people into the Dali mountain range to search for Strange Fruit. This operation will be personally led by the group's eldest young lady, Jiang Luoli#】

"What?"

"Even the eldest young lady of the Changsheng Group is going to show up in person?"

After netizens learned of this news, they were all shocked, and the discussions about this matter came in waves, "Does this mean Strange Fruit are really that precious?"

"No, no, I have to find a way to get a Strange Fruit, otherwise what will I do when everyone else has transcendental power?"

"Everyone, let's form a group. The Strange Fruit search team is still missing one person, come quickly..."

Ginkgo Villa.

More than twenty Transcendental stood in the courtyard with serious expressions.

At this time, Jiang Luoli stood in front of everyone, her expression cold, her words carrying an unquestionable tone, "For this operation, our main target is a giant Silver Ring Snake."

"If anyone can capture it alive, I will not only bestow the antidote to the Blood Poison Pill, but also teach more exquisite techniques!"

Upon hearing this, the group of Transcendentals were visibly shaken! It was not that they hadn't thought of escaping during this time, but they had been forced to stay due to the torment of the Blood Poison Pill.

Now that there was a chance to obtain the antidote, the Transcendentals felt they saw hope, and they secretly swore in their hearts: they must capture the giant Silver Ring Snake alive!...

"Finally gathered 1000 points of Evolution Value!"

At the same time, in the Dali Mountain Range.

After Lu Chuan sighed with emotion, he directly added all 1000 points of Evolution Value to his level! (End of chapter)
