Translator: 549690339
Because of Freya Louise and the others, Jack Clark paid a bit more attention to
Erica Knowles’ situation and occasionally asked about their situation in the group chat.
He didn’t know why those Evil God Sect members were so crazy, but battles erupted outside of Kroya City for the next few days.
Apart from that, many blood disciples and cultists infiltrated the city at the cost of their own lives, attacked key Kroya official figures, and caused explosions, creating a great deal of chaos.
However, these desperate counterattacks from the Evil God Sect couldn’t shake the local situation.
There were some strong men stationed in the city, with Triplex geniuses patrolling and hunting, and outside the city, there were Sixth-Level and even Seventh-level high-order powerhouses taking action.
Moreover, each time these powerhouses appeared in groups of ten, an astonishing number.
Top-tier powerhouses above the Seventh Layer were also occasionally seen under the Heaven and Earth Trap, locating and killing one after another. The situation gradually stabilized.
This chaotic situation didn’t stabilize until five days later.
Seeing this, Jack Clark gradually stopped paying attention to that side and shifted his focus back to the Sword Armor Beast.
On December 25th, less than a week before the end of the trial, the Sword Armor Beast, now nine meters long, was slowly swimming under the 300-meter deep sea, completely covered in black with a row of sharp, long spines on its back.
As it grew, the Sword Armor Beast’s appearance became increasingly fierce and majestic, with a slight resemblance to the dragons in myths and legends.
Of course, it was only a slight resemblance.
At this time, several hundred meters in front of it, a 17-meter-long, flat-bodied Mutated fish with a seven-meter-long saw-toothed structure was hunting.
The prey was a group of eight-meter-long Mutated bull sharks.
This Mutated saw-toothed fish was very fast, like a sharp blade cutting through the sea water, leaving behind bisected shark corpses in its wake.
Within a short period, more than ten bull shark heads were killed, and their thick blood turned the surrounding seawater red. It exuded a strong, bloody smell.
It seemed that this Mutated fish bore a grudge against the bull sharks.
After killing all the sharks, it only ate a bit of the organs and then swam about, watching as small fishes attracted by the bloody smell nibbled at the bull shark corpses.
However, as it swam, it didn’t realize that another Mutated Beast was watching it from afar.
Through the Sword Armor Beast’s observation, this Mutated saw-toothed fish’s strength was very strong, and its ability was likely related to its speed. It was no less fast than the Sword Armor Beast in its normal explosive state.
Furthermore, whenever there was a strong wave of energy on its body, dark arcs of light would shoot out from its teeth, and the rays were extremely sharp, cutting prey apart with ease.
Nevertheless, even so, the Sword Armor Beast was prepared to hunt it down.
With each meal and growth, its entire body cells would divide and compress, so its density became increasingly terrifying, and its strength naturally grew increasingly fearsome.
In addition to the three major Talents of Strength, Defense, and Speed, Jack Clark had recently discovered other abilities of the Sword Armor Beast.
For example, the seemingly decorative feather horns on either side, which, after multiple evolutions, had developed a ‘Perception’ function. This allowed it to perceive objects far away through subtle disturbances in seawater.
This was also the reason why it could hide in the depths of the dark sea and detect and observe the Mutated saw-toothed fish from afar.
The Sword Armor Beast was like an excellent hunter. Its tail moved slightly, weakly stirring up water waves, and it slowly approached from directly below.
Boom!
An explosion occurred in the deep sea water: the Sword Armor Beast violently shot out like a dark sharp arrow, surging upwards.
Enveloped by a strong sense of crisis, the huge body of the saw-toothed fish twisted abruptly, like a noodle bending into a C shape, barely evading the Sword Armor Beast’s sudden…
Splash!!
In the moment it brushed past, the Sword Armor Beast’s sharp claws slashed and tore through scales, leaving four wounds several meters long and 0.5 meters deep on the waist of the saw-toothed fish.
Blood flowed, and the intense pain as the seawater licked its wounds infuriated the Mutated saw-toothed fish. Its blood-red eyes were filled with brutality, glaring at the Sword Armor Beast, tens of meters above it.
The low-intelligence creature couldn’t understand why this black thing, which was more than twice smaller than itself, dared to attack it.
Regardless, it was determined to rip the black creature apart.
In a frenzy, a powerful wave of energy was emitted from the saw-toothed fish’s body. The seawater behind it exploded, and it accelerated instantly to pounce towards the Sword Armor Beast above its head.
The moment it closed in on the Sword Armor Beast, several dark arcs of light shot out from its seven-meter-long saw-teeth, as if sharp blades of light were tearing through the sea water.
But the Sword Armor Beast was even faster, its dark form flashing far away in an instant.
It had no choice. Those dark arcs of light were too sharp, and the Sword Armor Beast did not want to be sawed directly without knowing whether they could harm it.
Whiz whiz whiz!!
The two Mutated Beasts charged and tore through the sea, causing towering waves at a terrifying speed, and in the blink of an eye, they reached the sea surface.
Bang!
Suddenly, the sea waves violently exploded, and the huge saw-toothed fish soared into the sky with a vicious, dark Sword Armor Beast beneath it.
After about ten minutes of struggle, the Sword Armor Beast finally found an opportunity to shoot it up from below, sending it flying more than ten meters into the air with nowhere to leverage itself.
In mid-air, the Sword Armor Beast extended its double claws, grabbing the abdomen of the saw-toothed fish tightly. The two Mutated Beasts then slammed into the ocean with a loud crash, splashing water dozens of meters high.
Being held by the Sword Armor Beast, the saw-toothed fish struggled fiercely in the ocean. Despite exerting a terrible force of hundreds of tons with the waving of its head and tail, it couldn’t shake off the Sword Armor Beast beneath it.
In this situation, the Sword Armor Beast, possessing flexible limbs, held an absolute advantage.
Splash! Splash!
The Sword Armor Beast clung tightly to its abdomen, its ferocious mouth biting and tearing nonstop. Under the powerful bite force and sharp teeth, the thick scales shattered with each bite.With every bite, the Sword Armor Beast tore off several hundred kilograms of flesh and blood from the saw-toothed fish.
In the blink of an eye, a huge bloody hole was bitten into the belly of the saw-toothed fish, with countless blood spurting out, mixed with some organs. Gradually, the struggle of the saw-toothed fish became weaker and weaker.
A few minutes later, the huge corpse of the saw-toothed fish floated on the sea surface, sinking and floating with the waves, while the surrounding sea water was dyed red by its flowing blood.
However, the Sword Armor Beast that killed this ferocious Mutated Beast did not immediately eat it but turned its head to look at its left hind leg.
There were several 0.5-meter-long wounds there.
The mutated saw-toothed fish still managed to cause damage to the Sword Armor Beast even at the last moment of its life. The razor-sharp black saw teeth left a light injury on the beast.
Three of the attacks left a centimeter-deep scar on the back shell, and the outer layer of the weaker hind leg was cut in half.
Fortunately, its Defensive Talent was strong enough, and the scales were solid. This incomparably sharp energy blade did not hurt the muscle underneath.
Compared to the previous injury, this one was the most “serious” one the
Sword Armor Beast had ever incurred since its evolution.
After all, back when it first entered the sea, the tail thorn of the mutated catfish only shattered a small piece of the outer bone shell.
However, what shocked the Sword Armor Beast was not the small wound but the fact that the damaged outer bone scales were healing at a visible speed.
In just a few minutes, the four cracks had recovered to their original state.
This terrifying recovery power even surprised Jack Clark. “Could it be that the regeneration ability of the Six-legged Salamander has become stronger after three evolutions?”
Moreover, this regeneration was not only for the flesh and blood but also had an amazing effect on its outer bone scales.
Pondering, the Sword Armor Beast dragged the corpse of the mutated saw-toothed fish and sank it, disappearing from the sea surface in the blink of an eye.
Kilometers away on the sea surface, a steel battleship over 300 meters long was sailing, with various giant ship guns and missile launchers all over it.
In addition to that, there was even a 20-meter-long, futuristic-looking weapon resembling a laser cannon or electromagnetic device in the middle of the ship.
At this moment, several military officers were standing on the command platform, looking at the sea surface where the Sword Armor Beast and the saw-toothed fish disappeared. One middle-aged man was astonished and asked, “Was that black Unique Beast a dragon just now?”
Another one shook his head and laughed, “How could it be? Dragons are just a myth. Even in the mythical world, there are no real divine dragons.”
“Of course, if you really want to count, some terrifying giant beasts with dragon-like forms in that world can be considered real dragons in some sense.”
“Even in terms of power, they are more terrifying than the dragons in myths.”
“The one just now should be a Jiaolong-like beast that awakened its ancestors’ traits after mutation. However, its strength is impressive, as it can hunt down mutated fish of such a large size.”
Another middle-aged man sighed, “The sea is getting more and more dangerous, with mutated creatures lurking everywhere, and their size is enormous.”
“If these Mutated Beasts could, like the Unique Beasts on land, maintain the ecosystem by constantly hunting down powerful Unique Beasts, it would be fine. But the sea is too deep and vast; humans cannot get involved.”
“I feel like at this rate, in less than thirty years, the ocean will be out of control.”
“Yes,” the other two also looked solemn.
“Forget it, let’s not talk about this. Those higher-ups will have enough headaches dealing with this. Our mission this time is crucial, so let’s keep moving.”
As the giant ship turned into a small black dot, a black Unique Beast suddenly emerged from the sea, looking at the direction the ship was leaving in astonishment.
“Is this the navy battleship of this world? It looks so powerful.”
While sighing in wonder, the Sword Armor Beast reached out with its left claw, and a pure, dazzling crystal appeared, which turned out to be a Level 4 Life Crystal.
The Sword Armor Beast didn’t risk getting injured and killed the mutated saw-toothed fish just for the richly energized flesh and blood, but also for the possible existence of Life Crystals.
Jack Clark had always wanted to test whether Life Crystals were useful to the Sword Armor Beast.
If they were useless, the Life Crystals obtained by the Sword Armor Beast in the future could be kept and converted into Attribute points for him. But if they were useful, they would have to be allocated rationally.
Thinking of this, the Sword Armor Beast directly ate the crystal.
Just as the Life Crystal entered its stomach, a majestic Life Energy exploded within the Sword Armor Beast’s body. The cells all over its body began to divide and compress crazily.
In just a few minutes, the body of the Sword Armor Beast grewlarger, and its body length increased by ten centimeters, which was almost equivalent to its growth after a day of hunting.
In addition, the Evolution value under the attribute page also surged by 30 points.
The result left Jack Clark stunned and then, with a bitter smile.
The reason for the shock was that the effect of the Sword Armor Beast eating the Life Crystal was excellent, even more exaggerated than purely devouring the flesh and blood of Mutated Beasts.
The bitter smile was also due to the excellent effect.
A Level 4 Life Crystal not only caused the Sword Armor Beast’s body size to grow dramatically, but also increased its Evolution value by several dozen points, which was no less than his conversion into Attribute points.
However, since this growth could also be accumulated by eating meat, the Life Crystals obtained later could be kept and taken back after the trial was over…
On the balcony, as Jack Clark slowly opened his eyes while sitting cross-legged, a trace of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes, and an intangible heavy aura radiated from him, causing the air to become somewhat stagnant.
As his physique was continuously strengthened and its density increased over time, his basic strength had already exceeded the limit of Fourth Layer Heaven and could be compared to a Fifth Layer Heaven Cultivator.
However, this comparison was only based on basic strength and did not represent his combat power, as after reaching the Third Layer Heaven, the focus of cultivators shifted to True Strength.
Simply put, the physical body was like a giant steel battleship, and True Martial was like the power system and weapons mounted on it.
A larger, more robust battleship could carry a more powerful power reactor and more, stronger weapons along with sufficient ammunition depots. Both were indispensable.
As for his current combat strength, Jack, who had not taken action for more than half a month, had no idea.
Thinking of this, Jack lowered his head and clenched his fists, feeling the strength that had grown a bit stronger following the growth of the Sword Armor Beast and smiled..

Could it be that the regeneration ability of the Six-legged Salamander has become stronger after three evolutions?Moreover, this regeneration was not only for the flesh and blood but also had an amazing effect on its outer bone scales.Pondering, the Sword Armor Beast dragged the corpse of the mutated saw-toothed fish and sank it, disappearing from the sea surface in the blink of an eye.Kilometers away on the sea surface, a steel battleship over 300 meters long was sailing, with various giant ship guns and missile launchers all over it.In addition to that, there was even a 20-meter-long, futuristic-looking weapon resembling a laser cannon or electromagnetic device in the middle of the ship.At this moment, several military officers were standing on the command platform, looking at the sea surface where the Sword Armor Beast and the saw-toothed fish disappeared. One middle-aged man was astonished and asked, Was that black Unique Beast a dragon just now?Another one shook his head and laughed, How could it be? Dragons are just a myth. Even in the mythical world, there are no real divine dragons.Of course, if you really want to count, some terrifying giant beasts with dragon-like forms in that world can be considered real dragons in some sense.Even in terms of power, they are more terrifying than the dragons in myths.The one just now should be a Jiaolong-like beast that awakened its ancestors' traits after mutation. However, its strength is impressive, as it can hunt down mutated fish of such a large size.Another middle-aged man sighed, The sea is getting more and more dangerous, with mutated creatures lurking everywhere, and their size is enormous.If these Mutated Beasts could, like the Unique Beasts on land, maintain the ecosystem by constantly hunting down powerful Unique Beasts, it would be fine. But the sea is too deep and vast; humans cannot get involved.I feel like at this rate, in less than thirty years, the ocean will be out of control.Yes, the other two also looked solemn.Forget it, let's not talk about this. Those higher-ups will have enough headaches dealing with this. Our mission this time is crucial, so let's keep moving.As the giant ship turned into a small black dot, a black Unique Beast suddenly emerged from the sea, looking at the direction the ship was leaving in astonishment.Is this the navy battleship of this world? It looks so powerful.While sighing in wonder, the Sword Armor Beast reached out with its left claw, and a pure, dazzling crystal appeared, which turned out to be a Level 4 Life Crystal.The Sword Armor Beast didn't risk getting injured and killed the mutated saw-toothed fish just for the richly energized flesh and blood, but also for the possible existence of Life Crystals.Jack Clark had always wanted to test whether Life Crystals were useful to the Sword Armor Beast.If they were useless, the Life Crystals obtained by the Sword Armor Beast in the future could be kept and converted into Attribute points for him. But if they were useful, they would have to be allocated rationally.Thinking of this, the Sword Armor Beast directly ate the crystal.Just as the Life Crystal entered its stomach, a majestic Life Energy exploded within the Sword Armor Beast's body. The cells all over its body began to divide and compress crazily.In just a few minutes, the body of the Sword Armor Beast grewlarger, and its body length increased by ten centimeters, which was almost equivalent to its growth after a day of hunting.In addition, the Evolution value under the attribute page also surged by 30 points.The result left Jack Clark stunned and then, with a bitter smile.The reason for the shock was that the effect of the Sword Armor Beast eating the Life Crystal was excellent, even more exaggerated than purely devouring the flesh and blood of Mutated Beasts.The bitter smile was also due to the excellent effect.A Level 4 Life Crystal not only caused the Sword Armor Beast's body size to grow dramatically, but also increased its Evolution value by several dozen points, which was no less than his conversion into Attribute points.However, since this growth could also be accumulated by eating meat, the Life Crystals obtained later could be kept and taken back after the trial was overOn the balcony, as Jack Clark slowly opened his eyes while sitting cross-legged, a trace of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes, and an intangible heavy aura radiated from him, causing the air to become somewhat stagnant.As his physique was continuously strengthened and its density increased over time, his basic strength had already exceeded the limit of Fourth Layer Heaven and could be compared to a Fifth Layer Heaven Cultivator.However, this comparison was only based on basic strength and did not represent his combat power, as after reaching the Third Layer Heaven, the focus of cultivators shifted to True Strength.Simply put, the physical body was like a giant steel battleship, and True Martial was like the power system and weapons mounted on it.A larger, more robust battleship could carry a more powerful power reactor and more, stronger weapons along with sufficient ammunition depots. Both were indispensable.As for his current combat strength, Jack, who had not taken action for more than half a month, had no idea.Thinking of this, Jack lowered his head and clenched his fists, feeling the strength that had grown a bit stronger following the growth of the Sword Armor Beast and smiled..
