Chapter 6: Awakening Realm! Bloodline Talent: Soul-Capturing Pupils!

That brilliant aurora seemed to stretch on endlessly, flickering now above the firmament and bringing forth layers of beautiful colors; furthermore, the expanse covered by this aurora was vast, as if it had shrouded the entire world.

Upon seeing the aurora, many people lifted their heads one after another, and before long, they were dazzled and entranced.

…………

"So beautiful..."

Dali Mountain Range.

Lu Chuan was hunting fierce beasts day and night, just as he always did.

At this moment, he had just swallowed a wild boar he had hunted and was in the process of digesting it.

Suddenly, as if he had sensed something, he abruptly raised his head to look at the sky.

When his eyes were filled with the flickering aurora, a look of shock immediately appeared on his face.

"An aurora? In this place, in this season, how could an aurora appear?"

"What is happening?"

Although Lu Chuan did not know much about such matters, he was clear on some common sense and knew that everything happening now was not normal.

A moment later, Seven-Colored Light Rain suddenly fell from the firmament; this light rain seemed to be the aurora transforming into drops of rain, wishing to fall and add even more resplendent colors to the human world.

Moreover, it was currently the early morning, so this light rain was extremely conspicuous in the dark night, attracting the gazes of many people in just over ten seconds.

Lu Chuan stared blankly at all of this, completely ignorant of it, but since he felt no natural instinct of danger approaching, he was not particularly panicked.

"Ding!"

"Spiritual Energy Revival has begun, please undergo the Spiritual Qi Baptism, Host!"

Suddenly, the system's voice rang out in his mind, nearly giving him a huge fright; after he regained his composure, Lu Chuan was momentarily stunned.

"Spiritual Qi Baptism?"

He did not quite understand what this meant.

Furthermore, the light rain looked more like it had been stained by the splendor of the aurora, rather than having a color of its own.

But the next second, Lu Chuan suddenly noticed that some of the light rain had fallen onto his body.

The light rain was indeed like ordinary rainwater, having a slight impact, and it soaked the places where it fell before long.

And in this instant, Lu Chuan felt a special energy from it, and he understood that the Spiritual Qi Baptism the system spoke of must be this.

"But... what are the benefits of a Spiritual Qi Baptism?"

Even before he transmigrated, he had only seen descriptions related to Spiritual Qi in some novels, but those were fictional; could he actually encounter Spiritual Qi? And was this Spiritual Qi the same as what was depicted in the novels? "Ding!"

"Congratulations to the Host, you have gained 0.1 Evolution Value!"

Not long after the light rain fell on him, Lu Chuan heard the system's response and could not help but feel increasingly amazed.

"Can I gain Evolution Value just by standing in the rain?"

"Then how is this any different from getting something for free?"

Immediately, Lu Chuan was overjoyed and hurriedly exposed his entire body to the Seven-Colored Light Rain; when nearby trees and weeds blocked the light rain, he even took action himself to push these obstacles over to make it easier to bathe in the light rain.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the Host, you have gained 0.1 Evolution Value!"

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the Host, you have gained 0.1 Evolution Value!"

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the Host, you have gained 0.1 Evolution Value!"

"……"

As the light rain fell, dense notification sounds rang out in Lu Chuan's mind; he didn't know how much light rain he had bathed in within a single second, which even led him to think with a dark sense of humor: if he kept soaking like this, would the system crash? "It's still a bit slow." But after a while, Lu Chuan felt it wasn't enough, so he opened his large mouth wide to welcome the light rain, as if he wanted to absorb all the light rain he could see with his naked eyes.

……

Following the arrival of the Seven-Colored Light Rain, the plants in the forest grew at a speed visible to the naked eye; under the illumination of the aurora, there were ghostly shadows everywhere in the forest, and these shadows were constantly growing.

"Roar—"

Unlike the quiet growth of the plants, the fierce beasts all around felt refreshed after bathing in the light rain and let out roars, as if venting the joy in their hearts.

These beast roars were continuous and filled with primitive wildness, as if... this light rain had exposed all the brutality and excitement in their genes.

Each roar represented the excitement and mania of a fierce beast.

"Gaining Evolution Value is what matters!"

"This light rain can be called a fortuitous encounter, a heaven-sent opportunity, so I must cherish it well!"

In the forest, Lu Chuan constantly adjusted his posture, even wishing he could flatten and spread out his body completely to absorb the light rain and undergo the Spiritual Qi Baptism.

After all, it was a free benefit; it would be a waste not to take it! He didn't know how much time had passed, but when Lu Chuan noticed the intensity of the light rain had decreased slightly, he muttered to himself.

"I might as well see how many Evolution Points I've harvested now."

With a thought, his attribute panel opened, and he saw that the Evolution Points had already accumulated to 110.

Immediately, Lu Chuan did not hesitate and added all these Evolution Points directly to his level.

Boom—

In an instant, Lu Chuan felt a more scorching and terrifying energy explode within his body, filling his entire being almost instantly.

This scorching energy was very fast and very wild, but it did not harm his body in the slightest.

As a burst of light flickered on Lu Chuan's body surface, his physique began to grow continuously, becoming longer and thicker, as if it had no intention of stopping.

Moreover, as time passed, he was surprised to find that this scorching power not only affected his body, but a wisp of it even rushed into his head, clearly heading straight for his eyes on both sides.

Lu Chuan quietly enjoyed all of this, and a look of anticipation gradually grew in his heart.

"I wonder how much my strength will increase after leveling up, or if that wisp of power that entered my eyes will allow me to see more clearly?"

Just as he was speculating, the scorching energy subsided; he moved his body slightly and realized that his length had reached over twenty meters, and his physique was now as thick as a water barrel.

At this moment, he was more like a giant dragon about to soar, coiled upon the ground.

"Hmm? My eyes..."

Lu Chuan suddenly discovered that his snake pupils seemed to have mutated; upon leaning toward the water's edge, he saw his eyes flickering with an icy blue color.

Afterward, some related information appeared in his mind—Innate Bloodline: Soul-Seizing Pupil.

【Soul-Seizing Pupil: Can emit a Soul-Seizing Light to enslave the souls of other living beings.】

"Good fellow, this skill is not bad."

After reading it, Lu Chuan exclaimed in pleasant surprise, then hurriedly opened his attribute panel to check the status of his strength improvement—
