Although Dragon Elephant Overlord Body Skill is famous for its strength and defense, there is a limit to the cultivator’s physique transformation and tempering, and it is impossible to strengthen speed and reaction together.
Even the grand accomplishment of the Dragon Elephant Behemoth’s power does not exaggerate the increase in combat capabilities.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be just an Advanced Skill but a top-tier bloodline Secret Book.
So, as Justin Welan initially guessed, everyone speculated that Jack Clark must have awakened some powerful physical talent, including the explosion of previous moves.
However, no one delved into this question, as everyone has their secrets, and even the school’s senior management didn’t pay much attention after the initial surprise.
The only change in his personal file was the addition of an “Advanced Talent” in the physical aspect.
Jack, Zac Lyons, and others arranged the corpses of the five Level 4 Mutated Beasts and two Level 5 Mutated Beasts side by side; each body had four anti-gravity disks placed under it.
Following that, more than ten Level 3 Mutated Beasts, each with two corpses stacked on top of each other, making the corpse of the Mutated King Beast even heavier.
In addition to this harvest, there was a Level 3 Life Crystal, which Jack took without hesitation.
Now all they had to do was wait for Howard Lee’s injuries to heal, as there were not enough people to transport the Mutated Beast corpses.
“Damn, I’m so tired. Why do these mutated creatures have to be so big?” Justin Welan rubbed his shoulders and couldn’t help but complain.
White Veil leaned on Mutated Beast’s scale armor while lazily recovering his strength, “Of course, it’s because of the absorption of Heavenly Energy.”
Zac Lyons touched his chin thoughtfully, “Speaking of which, 1 found something interesting.”
Jack walked over, “What is it?”
Zac Lyons said solemnly, “Haven’t you guys noticed? Almost all mutated creatures are animals, and there are no insects.”
“Pssh, I thought it was a big discovery.” Justin Welan was speechless.
Jack couldn’t help but smile, “This question has been researched before. It is believed that the gene structure of insects is unable to withstand the ‘expansion’ of Heavenly Energy.”
“The Heavenly Energy that surged into the mythical world is unique and can cause organisms to evolve, become giant, and even develop various forms.” “Insects’ genes are not as strong as animals’, and their extreme nature cannot withstand gigantism, plus their ‘weak’ spirits and souls can’t bear the ‘energy’.” “So, although insects have mutated over the years, they generally increase in size tenfold and then stagnate, enriching the food chain after mutation.”
“But why haven’t humans changed as these Heavenly Energies cause organisms to evolve and become giants?” Marcus Lee was puzzled.
“There’s an explanation for this as well. It seems that humans have a stronger ‘self-awareness,’ which subconsciously restrains their body from undergoing sudden mutations during evolution.”
“In addition to this, we can cultivate and master the direction of evolution ourselves, just as our physiques change directionally after we absorb Mutated Beast Blood Essence.”
“So, although we humans are also evolving, we are on another path.”
“Of course, these phenomena are not absolute. For instance, Howard Lee’s physique is considered giant. Moreover, research shows that insects are evolving and improving themselves through generations.”
“In another ten or twenty years, there may be some terrifying insect-like mutated creatures.”
With that said, even Jack’s face couldn’t help but show a solemn expression.
Are insects powerful? They are weak and easily crushed by a casual footstep.
However, if insects become as large as humans, and their body structure and all aspects of strength increase simultaneously, they will become more terrifying predators than lions and tigers.
This can be confirmed by the Sword Armor Beast during the third evolution.
The beast, which absorbed, fused and optimized the strengths of three insects, was invincible at that level, possessing two top-tier talents and one advanced dreadful talent.
Of course, the fact that the Avatar was so strong had to do with its unique talent ‘Evolution;’ not all insects will develop top-tier talents just by evolving.
But even so, the future of insects ten to twenty years later that Jack mentioned still made everyone’s faces sink.
Since these mutated beasts are already so powerful, what will happen if insects around the world become mutated beasts in the future?
“Wait, Jack, how do you know so much?” Marcus Lee finally reacted, looking at Jack strangely.
Jack also looked at him in surprise, “It’s simple; just take a glance at the
Mutated Beasts Encyclopedia and remember it.”
Marcus Lee shook his head, “I know that books can provide knowledge, but how do you have time to read? I remember there were more than a dozen books in that series, and each one is pretty thick.”
“Yeah, Jack, how do you have time to read?” Zac Lyons and others showed dissatisfaction.
White Veil nodded, “Exactly, it’s unfair.”
Everyone else was working hard on cultivation. How did Jack have time to read books? And not only did he have time, but his progress in cultivation also far surpassed everyone else’s.
Jack said ‘curiously,’ “Isn’t that an easy thing? Just glance at it and remember.” Everyone collectively fell silent.
“Damn!” Mullen Weisz couldn’t help but raise his middle finger.
Justin Welan waved his hand with a grin, “Alright, let’s disperse, or Jack will show off again. He was just showing off earlier.”
“Yes, let’s go. Let’s find a place to play on our own.”
As they said this, they actually left Jack behind, running to a tree nearby that had survived the disaster, and sat under the shade, closing their eyes to cultivate and replenish their True Strength..
