Chapter 105: Evolution Completed!

Boom—!!!

With the Black Tortoise's body swelling violently, the entire land of Suchen began to tremble violently!

Countless buildings that were already on the verge of collapse collapsed with a roar in this tremendous vibration!

An intense earthquake, affecting all of Suchen with a magnitude of about five, erupted just like that!

At this moment, Lin Yue had no mind to pay attention to these; he was anxiously watching the Black Tortoise's changes.

【Pet Promotion Lv5 in progress…】

【Body data reconstruction in progress…】

【Talent ability fusion and enhancement in progress…】

【Detected high compatibility between host bloodline and pet, beginning bloodline link…】

【Ding! New talent ability being generated…】

The entire evolution process, although only half an hour, felt to Lin Yue as if half a century had passed.

Not even the phrase 'days feel like years' can describe Lin Yue's mood right now!

Finally, as the blinding white light slowly faded, a clear, pleasant system notification sounded in Lin Yue's mind.

【Pet Promotion Lv5 successful!】

Lin Yue didn't check the system panel right away but turned his gaze to the window; just one glance, and even with his current composure, he couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

The sight before him could no longer be described as merely 'massive'.

If we say, the Black Tortoise before was a moving town.

Then now it is…… a true moving city!

Lin Yue could not even make out the edge of its body; all he saw was a gigantic turtle shell, like a mountain range, undulating and flashing with an ancient bronze metallic sheen.

Taking a deep breath, he then opened the system panel.

【Pet Information Update】

【Pet: Black Tortoise (Level 5)】

【Species: Primeval Earth Vein Black Tortoise (Young Adult)】

【Body Length: meters】

【Width: meters】

【Height: 2000 meters】

"Fifteen thousand meters……"

Lin Yue stared at this exaggerated number, his mind going blank.

Damn…… this is way too big!

Now he just wants to say one thing——who else?

The dozens of mutant sea beasts that once threatened Xuanwu City are now utterly insignificant before the Black Tortoise!

He forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and shifted his gaze downward to the talent ability list.

【Talent Ability 1: Absolute Defense (Passive): Immune to most physical and energy attacks, defense greatly increased.

【Talent Ability 2: Mountain Collision Impact (Active): Can instantly erupt with terrifying impact force equal to twenty times its own weight, dealing a devastating blow to the target.

【Talent Ability 3: Celestial Canopy (Active): Energy Shield defense greatly increased, and can reflect any attack not exceeding the defense limit.

【Talent Ability 4: All Things Return to the Ruins (Active): The ability to control earth elements undergoes a qualitative change, allowing decomposition and reconstruction of all matter within a designated range.

【Talent Ability 5: Life Spring (Active): Purification range and efficiency greatly increased, capable of purifying large areas of land and water sources, restoring vitality, and quickly healing non-lethal injuries.

【New Talent Ability 6: Gravity Domain (Active): Can freely increase or decrease gravity multiples within a designated range centered on the Black Tortoise (range: radius 10 kilometers, multiples: 0.1-20 times). Range and strength increase with level.

The original six talent abilities, after the Black Tortoise's promotion to Level 5, have all been strengthened to some extent.

But what truly made Lin Yue's breath catch was that last line, a brand-new talent radiating brilliant golden light!

【New Talent Ability 7: Share (Passive-Mythic): The host can share all of the pet's talent abilities and permanently gain one percent of the pet's strength and defense. This ability takes effect as long as the host and pet are within one hundred kilometers of each other.

Share all talent abilities!

Gain one percent of the Black Tortoise's strength and defense!

Although he doesn't know just how strong one percent of the Black Tortoise's strength and defense is, he can be certain that, aside from strategic nuclear weapons, there is probably no conventional thermal weapon on this planet that could inflict lethal harm on him!

"Haha…… hahahahaha!"

Lin Yue could no longer contain his inner joy, bursting into loud laughter!

He fears death!

This point, he never denies.

Also precisely because he fears death, even after injecting the Super Soldier Serum and Danger Perception Potion, he never dared to leave Xuanwu City even a single step.

But now, everything is different!

With the Share divine skill, he can finally leave Xuanwu City and act freely, as long as his distance from the Black Tortoise does not exceed one hundred kilometers!

Just as Lin Yue was immersed in immense joy, he suddenly noticed a small, constantly flashing icon in the corner of the system panel.

With a thought, he clicked on it.

【Ding! Detected pet has reached Level 5 Young Adult, bloodline link completed, special ability 'Share' activated.

【Additional Notice: Due to the host and pet's bloodline being highly homologous, the Share talent undergoes an unknown benign mutation; the host, besides gaining one percent of strength and defense, will also inherit a core trait of the Black Tortoise—Growth.

【Growth: The host's physical fitness will synchronously increase with each evolution of the Black Tortoise.

"I…… I can still level up together?!"

This unexpected joy left Lin Yue completely dazed.

Damn…… this is literally a buy-one-get-one-free deal, complete with lifetime free upgrade service, a super VIP package!

……

Originally, when they learned that there were dozens of terrifying mutant beasts along the coast, the survivors of these shelters fell into despair outright. If Zhao Weiguo hadn't announced the news that Xuanwu City would take action, who knows what turmoil would have erupted!

Even so, they didn't believe Xuanwu City could stop those dozens of coastal mutant beasts.

Just as these survivors were feeling somewhat hopeless, Suchen was hit by an earthquake, which only deepened their despair.

Fortunately, the earthquake lasted only half an hour; otherwise, even if those coastal giants hadn't attacked, the medium‑sized shelters would have fallen into chaos.

As the Three Major Shelters that could monitor all of Suchen, they learned the cause the moment the earthquake struck.

When the leaders of the Three Major Shelters, via surveillance, saw that the Black Tortoise, which was already enormously huge, had grown its size by dozens of times, everyone fell silent.

At this point, even if they were stupid, they knew the Black Tortoise's evolution was definitely linked to the Energy Crystal.

No wonder that City Lord Lin Yue only wants the Energy Crystal!

At this moment, everyone who saw the Black Tortoise's evolution had the same thought.

And while all of Suchen was still immersed in the immense shock and fear,

Xuanwu City had already silently changed course, heading toward the black beast tide that was relentlessly approaching Suchen!

Lin Yue stood before the floor‑to‑ceiling window of the City Lord's mansion, his face no longer showing the earlier tension and solemnity.

Well then, what's next?

The hunt begins.
