10 minutes later, Chen Dalong awoke.
He felt as though he had a very long dream during those 10 minutes, yet it also seemed to have passed in a blink of an eye.
“What happened to me?” he sat up from the ground in a daze.
“Nothing, this is a normal phenomenon after consuming the Evolution Fruit. Now, feel your body for any changes and discover what superpower you’ve acquired,” came the voice of the Mutated Parrot from nearby.
Chen Dalong suddenly shivered with realization, recalling his current predicament.
“Understood, Lord Parrot,” he quickly stood up, feeling a bit excited, and closed his eyes to perceive any changes.
But gradually, a look of confusion and perplexity appeared on his face, “Lord Parrot, I can’t feel any superpowers!”
“However, my body does feel very comfortable, as if reborn.”
As he spoke, he observed his own body, his face gradually showing surprise,
because during his previous escape, he had fallen many times, and his hands were covered with wounds.
But now, these wounds had healed without him realizing it.
Not only that, but he also felt a powerful force within his body.
“Also, I feel that my strength has increased a lot,” Chen Dalong commented while still sensing his strength.
“Try it out and you’ll know,” the Mutated Parrot suggested, pointing with its wing to a large poplar tree nearby.
Chen Dalong immediately understood and walked over to the tree, taking a deep breath.
“Ha!”
He threw a punch with all his might.
Bang!
A muffled impact sounded, and the trunk of the poplar tree immediately bore an indented fist imprint.
Chen Dalong stared blankly at the fist imprint he had made, something the old him could never have accomplished.
Moreover, despite throwing such a powerful punch, he didn’t feel much pain in his fist, and not even the skin had broken.
“Not bad, that punch could have been around 300 pounds of force.”
“More importantly, the toughness of your skin, muscles, and bones has improved, probably only slightly inferior to that of a mutant wild boar of the same level.”
“However, that’s quite normal since, with the size of humans, you are definitely considered a large creature,” the Mutated Parrot observed and said.
Chen Dalong listened in bewilderment, “Lord Parrot, does this count as a superpower?”
Although he felt strong, there was something odd about it, completely different from the superhumans he had read about online.
“It probably doesn’t count. The path you’ve taken is closer to that of us Mutated Animals, which is purely physical enhancement.”
“Rather than calling you a ‘Superhuman,’ it would be more accurate to say you are an ‘Evolutionist,’ since it was after consuming the Evolution Fruit that you obtained this power,” the Mutated Parrot explained.
“Evolutionist!”
Chen Dalong softly repeated the word, then promptly asked, “Then Lord Parrot, who is stronger, a superhuman or an evolutionist?”
“How would I know, since you haven’t fought a superhuman,” the Mutated Parrot couldn’t help but roll its eyes.
But after a pause, it continued, “However, rest assured, evolutionists are definitely not weak.”
“You’ve just become an evolutionist and already possess such physical qualities. As you continue to absorb Spiritual Energy and cultivate, you will become stronger and stronger.”
“The Mutated Wild Boar that chased you was quite powerful, a strength you’ve felt firsthand,”
“Its cultivation level was probably at the late-stage Second Order. Once you reach that Realm, you’ll be able to fight it with your bare hands.”
“When you cultivate to the Third Order, you could even physically withstand bullets.”
Chen Dalong’s breathing grew heavy upon hearing the Mutated Parrot’s analysis, especially at the last statement about “physically withstanding bullets.”
The Mutated Parrot glanced at him and reminded, “Remember, your evolution path is different from other humans, so make up a good excuse for yourself.”
“You can say your superpower is enhancing strength or improving physical fitness or something.”
“Be smart about it, don’t cause trouble for yourself, and most importantly, don’t cause trouble for the Dragon Lord.”
Upon hearing the Mutated Parrot’s thinly veiled warning, Chen Dalong hurriedly promised, “Rest assured, my lord, I will come up with a good excuse. No one will find out.”
After making his promise, Chen Dalong immediately followed up with an ingratiating question, “Lord Parrot, I would also like to know, how should I cultivate?”
“Spiritual Energy exists in the air. As you breathe, it naturally gets absorbed into your body, then enhances it.”
“You could say that you are cultivating every moment, or that there isn’t really an active cultivation method.”
“When you have the chance later, you can reveal your strength and get in touch with relevant organizations to see if humans have made any research progress in this area,” said the Mutated Parrot.
Chen Dalong felt a bit disappointed after hearing this.
The Mutated Parrot glanced at him and continued, “If you want to quickly increase your strength, then work hard for the Dragon Lord. As long as you make a contribution, you can come here and have the Dragon Lord infuse you with Spiritual Energy to enhance your power.”
“If the Dragon Lord makes a full effort, he could help you reach the strength of that Mutated Wild Boar in at most three days.”
Chen Dalong was a bit stunned by this but quickly realized that the other party was dangling a carrot in front of him.
That Mutated Wild Boar was among the top 30 on the danger list, and it had not just surfaced recently, but had been on the list for two months already.
He believed in the Dragon Lord’s strength, but to elevate him to the Mutated Wild Boar’s level in just three days,
This carrot was drawn a bit too fancifully.
As if seeing through Chen Dalong’s thoughts, the Mutated Parrot raised an eyebrow, “Don’t believe it?”
“Not at all, I have absolute faith in the Dragon Lord’s abilities,” Chen Dalong quickly responded.
“You can’t be blamed, hearing is believing, but seeing is believing. Let’s have you experience it firsthand. Come, kneel with me.” Saying this, the Mutated Parrot knelt down first.
Chen Dalong hurriedly followed suit and knelt as well.
“Dragon Lord, I wish to use 10 contribution points to request a Spiritual Energy infusion for Chen Dalong,” the Mutated Parrot respectfully said.
“Granted!”
A voice resounded within Chen Dalong’s mind; he knew it was the Dragon Lord’s “Sound Transmission Technique.”
Before Chen Dalong could react, he felt something pressing against his forehead, which was touching the ground.
Just as he thought to raise his head and see what it was, he heard the Mutated Parrot’s stern command.
“Don’t move!”
Chen Dalong’s body instantly tensed, and the next moment, he felt a stream of bizarre energy flowing into his body through his forehead.

As this energy entered, every cell in his body greedily absorbed it, strengthening at a visibly rapid pace.
It was a wonderful feeling of becoming stronger with every passing second.
Chen Dalong was so comfortable that he almost moaned.
