Chapter 899: Evolution Begins! Lin Yang

~7 min read 1,302 words

"Did I say anything?" Lin Yang said with an innocent face.

Su Yang, seeing his shamelessness, gritted his teeth and smiled, "I promised you, tomorrow morning training I'll give it my all."

"That's what you said," Lin Yang said while chewing.

"A gentleman keeps his word, a swift horse a whip." Su Yang nodded slightly.

"I knew you were deliberately laughing at me!" Lin Yang finally caught his weak spot.

The promised revenge, yet Su Yang acted soft and mushy.

Not the slightest hint of his old style.

If Lin Yang hadn't trained with him many times, he might have been fooled by that "all‑out" look.

Now he finally understood.

It seemed Su Yang was teaming up with Qin Weiyang to bully him.

"Pinky swear." Lin Yang extended his little finger.

"Want me to hang another one for you?" Su Yang said with a half‑smile.

"No need, I trust you." Lin Yang chuckled and withdrew his hand.

The ensuing eating session was very calm.

Everyone ate silently; no one spoke.

The atmosphere was a bit oppressive.

The 'Old Man' kept his mouth shut.

Wang Defa, the Newcomer, naturally felt too embarrassed to speak.

"It was fine before… what's happening now?" he wondered, puzzled.

Then he couldn't help glancing at Su Yang.

He saw the other party leisurely tearing open a packet of white sugar, dumping it all into a cup, then picking up a spoon to stir slowly.

A bite of vegetables, a bite of steamed bun.

Swallowing it, then pairing it with a sip of soy milk.

Across the room, Ximen Zhirou wore a worried expression.

The distance to a mourning mother was only one level away.

"Everyone!"

At that moment, Su Yang suddenly spoke.

Everyone looked up together.

"After breakfast, we begin evolution." Su Yang declared.

In the next instant, people's faces lit up like blooming sunflowers, dazzlingly bright.

"Boss, is it Innate Talent or …?" Ximen Zhirou hurriedly asked.

"Of course, Innate Talent takes priority." Su Yang replied.

"Strangely enough, wasn't the talent supposed to evolve as soon as the game ended? Why didn't I get any feedback?" Luo Shuangshuang asked, confused.

"Perhaps it's due to the Ascend God Seed rotation; I need to collect the reward myself," Su Yang explained.

"I see, I was thinking you broke the Heavenly Decree, not giving out any reward," Luo Shuangshuang stuck out his tongue.

"Think what you will, I didn't do anything," Su Yang shook his head and laughed.

"Eat quickly, everyone!" Ximen Zhirou regained his smile and waved to call the big group.

Seeing this sudden change, Wang Defa couldn't help exclaim, "Whoa, Divine!"

He finally understood why the big group always looked so lifeless.

So that was the crux of the problem!

Though it looks a bit absurd.

One or two adults are too embarrassed to speak because of this, even wearing gloom on their faces.

Yet on second thought it seems reasonable.

After all, Innate Talent and Gene Modification are the core of the Death Game.

They wouldn't covet them otherwise.

Wang Defa was very curious…

Why don't they just say it?

Why use this silent method?

"I'm full!" Ximen Zhirou was the first to stand, quickly putting the bowl and chopsticks back into the kitchen.

"I'm full too," Wang Yuning followed right after.

"Me too," Zhuge Chen said.

The three arrived in the living room one after another, sat down, and chatted aimlessly as if nothing had happened.

Wang Defa finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Boss, what are they …"

Su Yang lifted his eyes, smiled, and said, "Everyone has their own pursuits, that's a good thing."

"Compared to that, I'm actually afraid you all are desire‑less."

"So, in front of me there's no need to hide like them; just speak openly."

At this, Wen Ran froze, but quickly recovered.

Wang Defa suddenly understood.

It turned out Su Yang had done it on purpose!

"Evolution is limited by Faith Value, so you new partners will be put on hold for now; we'll discuss it next time," Su Yang said.

"Everyone follows the Boss's arrangement," Wang Defa nodded repeatedly.

Su Yang slowly set down his chopsticks and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill the promises I've made."

"You also don't need to worry about any favoritism occurring."

"There are no banks in this world, and I don't miss that bit of interest either."

"Money should be spent on the cutting edge; as long as you can prove your worth, I will not shortchange you by even a fraction."

The few of them looked at each other without saying more.

Su Yang used a paper to wipe his mouth, "I'm full; leave the bowls and chopsticks for now, I'll wash them later."

Soon, the eight gathered together.

Each person's face bore a look full of hope.

Ready to welcome the great evolution.

Everyone felt excited inside.

Because each evolution of Innate Talent signals the possible emergence of a new Entry.

After witnessing the bizarre abilities of the Old Era Remnant Faction.

It made them look forward even more.

"Are you ready?" Su Yang asked.

"Let's go!" the crowd said in unison.

Su Yang pressed the button on the remote.

In the next moment, eight golden light orbs immediately surged out from the Screen.

Each entered the bodies of the eight.

"So good, so good!"

"Hum~"

"Ah!"

The reactions were still varied.

Wang Yuning's face was full of pain.

Lin Yang, however, wore a face of enjoyment.

At this point, Su Yang could only be a bystander.

The reason was simple: advancing from Fourth Tier to Fifth Tier requires a full 1600 Faith Value points.

The reward from winning the Betting Duel was clearly insufficient.

Therefore, after a brief thrill, he opened his eyes still wanting more.

Seven of them were wrapped in sacred golden Radiance.

Like a Light Cocoon, beautiful beyond description.

At the same time, the aura on their bodies also transformed.

Su Yang knew this change well.

They were moving closer to the Divine and farther from humanity.

After a while, Qin Weiyang was the first to complete the evolution.

Because the earlier Light Feather had little effect, the Innate Talent remained at Second Tier.

Now rising to Third Tier, the strength had indeed made a qualitative leap.

"How about it, any new Entry?" Su Yang asked.

Qin Weiyang shook his head silently.

Su Yang said softly, "It's okay, missing once is for a better meeting in the future."

"Whether there's a new Entry or not, it won't stop me from taking the Hidden Achievement," Qin Weiyang declared resolutely.

Su Yang heard that and thought silently, "Indeed."

This is truly Qin Weiyang.

Always fearless.

Full of confidence.

Soon, Ximen Zhirou and Zhuge Chen also completed the glorious evolution.

"I succeeded, I succeeded!" Ximen Zhirou shouted wildly, so excited he was almost in tears.

Zhuge Chen, however, was full of disappointment.

Lu Junsheng and Luo Shuangshuang followed closely; their Innate Talents seemed to have hit a bottleneck, failing to gain an unexpected joy.

Wang Yuning opened his eyes, a faint curve at the corner of his mouth.

Finally it was Lin Yang's turn.

His evolution process became lengthy.

It was more than twice as long as others'.

Until a soft sound, the surface Golden Light all receded inward.

Only then did Lin Yang open his eyes.

His first words were, "Su Yang, I've discovered something incredible."

"What?" Su Yang asked curiously.

Lin Yang slowly lifted his head, his mouth slightly open, "My Innate Talent… has evolved!"

"Isn't that just nonsense?" Su Yang retorted irritably.

"No, I'm talking about the rank of my Innate Talent!" Lin Yang exclaimed, his face flushing red.

"Speak clearly." Su Yang suddenly became interested.

"I don't feel it's wrong!" Lin Yang said firmly: "It has already evolved from Normal Difficulty to……"

"Rare!!"
