After the last system notification rang out, Azmodeus, for the first time since he acquired the system, decided that he would like to roll for an ability.
So he did just that as he clicked the option that said, 'Roll for one of the abilities of the beast.'.
A bright blue and golden light flashed following the pressing of the button!
BLING!
*Ding!* *This beast possesses a total of two different innate abilities! Are you sure you would like to roll with a 50/50 chance for either ability?*
*Ding!* *Yes/No*
Azmodeus clicked yes.
After confirming his choice, a roulette started to spin, and on that roulette, there were two triangle shaped options, with one option saying, 'Stealth' and the other option saying, 'Super Strength'.
As much as he would like the Super Strength ability, the one that was most useful was...
*Ding!* *You have landed on the 'Stealth' Ability!"
*Ding!* *The Stealth Ability will be added to your 'Special Trait' section and will have a level indicator to the side of it. In addition, there will be a rank indicator right beside it!*
*Ding!* *All future Evolution Essence will be transmitted to a segment in the Infinite Evolution System, namely, the 'Evolution Essence Bank'.*
*Ding!* *The Evolution Essence Bank is a part of the System that is used to store all Evolution Essence! It is there so you can allocate your Evolution Essence however you so choose!*
*Ding!* *You can now use Evolution Essence to level up Abilities, their skill ranks, and their levels!*
*Ding!* *Choose carefully how you wish to allocate your Evolution Essence because refunds don't come cheap!*
After all of these system notifications sounded out, Azmodeus instantly opened up his system interface with clear glee in his expression.
BLING!

"Th-This is..." Azmodeus could hardly believe what he was seeing!
His strength and not only spiked up to the Middle Bone Forging Realm, but he now had a special Trait!
This system is too OP... How have I never heard of powerful Mahayana Realm Cultivators having something like this? Since they are the strongest, then naturally it would have to be one of them who bestowed this system to me.
Right...?
He wasn't too keen on the origins of the system, and he had tried asking a number of times; however, every time he asked, the system would just respond with something like, 'The Host does not meet the necessary requirements to know the origin of the System. Please continue evolving to understand more!'.
It was quite obvious that the Infinite Evolution System was trying to divert his focus away from the topic, but it wasn't like Azmodeus didn't want to get stronger, so he didn't really care...
Nevertheless, with his ability function fully activated, he now had a way to increase his overall combat power even further!
However, he had to acquire some more Evolution Essence if he wished to get the skill to a usable level, so that's what he started working on.
...
Half a minute later, a Viscera Training Large Success Spiritual Beast lay on the ground with half its monkey head sliced off the base!
"This sword I picked up from those generous seniors is quite to my liking," Azmodeus mused while wiping off the greenish-red blood on his blade.
His sword was nothing special with an average sleek design and wasn't even considered a Treasured Weapon, but it was still sharp enough to be used by those in the Viscera Training to Bone Forging Stages.
And for him, that was good enough, as he figured he would acquire better items when he climbed his way through the ranks of the Yang Sect.
While he was deep in thought, a few system notifications rang out in the background.
BLING!
*Ding!* *You have killed a Spiritual Beast in the Peak Stages of the Viscera Training Large Success Realm!*
*Ding!* *You have gained 10 Evolution Essence!*
*Ding!* *Would you like to Assimilate or roll for a skill?*
Azmodeus clicked on the Assimilate option as a wave of power rushed over him before a couple more system notifications appeared not long after.
BLING!
*Ding!* *You have gained 0.4 Stat points in Strength, 0.3 points in Speed, 0.4 points in Defense, 0.5 points in Qi, and 0.2 points in Cultivation Talent.*
*Ding!* *Your overall combat power has slightly improved!*
After these system notifications rang out, Azmodeus decided to open up his system interface to dump his Evolution Essence into his Stealth Skill.
And after tapping the [0/10] button a total of ten times, there was an abrupt change in the System Interface!
BLING!

"This is amazing..." Azmodeus mumbled, as he could already feel a certain power coursing through his veins, ready to be unleashed as soon as he gave the command.
And this power didn't have to wait very long at all, as he took a moment to understand how the Ability worked before he called 'Stealth' inside his head.
Bzzzt...
Following this command, a pitch black energy was released from his body as it enveloped his 5'7 figure!
And after this energy fully covered him, he seemed to fade away from sight as his body blended in with the shadows of his surroundings.
This will make for quite an addition to my arsenal of Jack Diddly Squat, haha!
He laughed a little at his complete lack of techniques and abilities, as even his 'Tiger Barrage' Fists was a lowest-ranked Common Technique with a comprehension level barely worth mentioning.
After all, he was not only born with the lowest-ranked Spiritual Roots and cultivation talent, but he was also given the crappiest comprehension speed imaginable...
On that note, even after two years of cultivating his 'Tiger Barrage Fists' as much as humanly possible, it had only reached the earliest stages of the Beginner Proficiency stage, while most with the same amount of effort would've already made it to the Minor Proficiency stage.
This was all to say that Azmodeus was given absolutely every bad card imaginable!
But sometimes, fate had a way of balancing things out, as karma was always fair in what it gave to those within its scope.
And in this case, it had given out the Infinite Evolution System!
