Chapter 69: Evolution of Abilities?

Liu Jiao immediately halted, her face filled with concern as she looked at Lin Xiao.

At that moment, Lin Xiao climbed up from the ground, and before Liu Jiao could speak, he began talking to himself.

"Hello everyone, I am a trainee with two and a half years of experience. I enjoy singing, dancing, rapping, and playing basketball."

As he spoke, his body involuntarily twisted.

"Sichuan skewers, Sichuan skewers, one yuan per stick."

"I want the heavens to no longer blind my eyes, I want the earth to no longer bury my heart, I want to overturn the very firmament!"

"With thunder, I shatter the darkness—I shall be the last ray of dawn within it!"

...

Liu Jiao: What is going on?

Li Tai: Huh??

"Are you sure you didn't give him a pill that lowers intelligence? Could the child have become stupid?"

Li Tai was uncertain; Lin Xiao's actions were simply too eccentric.

"I’m not clear either, but it shouldn’t be possible. You must know, when this pill was concocted, several top-grade herbs were used, two of which are unique specimens."

"Then how do you explain this situation?"

"This... well... I..."

"Wait, something's off. The boy's actions now seem unconscious, as if he hasn't woken up yet. Look at his eyes."

Following Liu Jiao's observation, Li Tai also noticed the issue.

Although Lin Xiao's eyes were open, they were hollow and lifeless, completely unfocused.

"Sister Jiao, are you saying the boy hasn't woken up yet? Once he wakes up, he'll be fine?"

"I can't be sure either. Let's observe a bit longer."

The two were concerned that Lin Xiao could have an accident, so they decided to wait until he regained consciousness before making any decisions.

After swallowing the pill, Lin Xiao did not notice anything unusual. Before he could ask Li Tai, the pill began to take effect.

The moment the pill acted, Lin Xiao lost control of his body.

He collapsed directly to the ground. Though his consciousness was clear, he found that no matter what he did, he could not regain control over his body.

For a brief moment, Lin Xiao wondered if he was being possessed.

After all, he had technically taken over the original owner of this body.

For reasons unknown, Lin Xiao's consciousness couldn’t control his body, yet he could sense everything happening to it.

At first, it was tolerable—just stretching his legs and glaring while on the floor.

But then, he witnessed everything else firsthand.

This was watching his own social death in real time!

If only he could control his body, he would have desperately wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.

He couldn't let this continue, or he'd be mocked for life.

As Lin Xiao pondered how to regain control, his consciousness suddenly lost sight of the outside world and entered his own body.

He could see his heart beating, his blood flowing.

He didn’t know why this was happening, but presumed it was related to the pill he had taken.

Soon after, Lin Xiao noticed his body gradually changing.

Impurities were expelled from his body.

His skin became exceptionally fair.

Before he could fully experience more, Lin Xiao felt his consciousness grow muddled, and afterward, he lost all awareness of the changes.

What Lin Xiao didn’t know was that the pill not only altered his body, but seemed even to be changing the DNA within him.

As for what final transformation this would bring, only after he fully awakened could he truly sense it.

Liu Jiao and Li Tai closely observed Lin Xiao's changes. After Lin Xiao finished his frenzy and calmed down, impurities began to emerge from his body, and a foul stench filled the room.

Fortunately, the window had already been opened; otherwise, they would have been suffocated.

"What’s happening now?"

"This should be the pill taking effect. Xiao Lin is expelling the impurities from his body. From this, at least the pill’s effects are positive."

Hearing Li Tai say this, Liu Jiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Xiao's situation seemed to be stabilizing.

They assumed Lin Xiao would quickly wake up, but unexpectedly, more than two hours passed before his pupils slowly regained focus.

Lin Xiao's consciousness finally returned to his body.

At once, he saw Liu Jiao and Zhou Tai’s concerned gazes.

"Sister Jiao, Brother Li, I’m fine, and I feel excellent. Don’t worry."

Seeing Lin Xiao finally speaking normally and not acting foolish, Liu Jiao truly relaxed.

"Xiao Lin, you scared me half to death."

Li Tai, regardless of how dirty Lin Xiao was, immediately rushed to his side.

"Xiao Lin, quickly tell me, what exactly does this pill do?"

"Brother Li, don’t rush. Let me carefully sense it."

Lin Xiao began to check his changes. His first impression was that his eyesight had improved. Since his ability was vision enhancement, his eyesight was already superior to ordinary people, but now it felt even stronger. He could even see dust floating in the air.

Next, his mind was astonishingly clear; many things he previously couldn’t sort out were now organized.

He also felt as though his body had undergone an upgrade—his strength seemed to have increased by another level. The exact details were unclear, but he suspected the improvement was at least comparable to the boost from the previous strength pill.

What kind of pill was this, to give him such a tremendous enhancement?

Lin Xiao immediately shared his impressions with Li Tai, who was equally astonished.

He had muddled his way into concocting such a miraculous pill. He had created many pills, mostly for temporary enhancement or recovery, but a permanent improvement like Lin Xiao’s was rare.

Yet, thinking of the herbs he had used, he felt somewhat relieved.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t recall how he had made it, and the pill had required several extremely rare herbs. Even if he knew the recipe, he might not be able to make another.

"Any other changes?"

Thinking of his improved eyesight, Lin Xiao suddenly wanted to try his ability.

"Let me try. I feel my ability may have changed."

He activated his vision enhancement. Immediately, he was shocked—his ability had indeed changed. He could see more clearly and further than before, and even see behind himself. In other words, his vision now allowed him to observe his surroundings in a full 360 degrees without blind spots.

Lin Xiao: What?!

White eyes? Unfortunately, this world doesn’t have chakra, and he couldn’t see the flow of spiritual power.

Could he awaken the Sharingan next?

He suddenly looked forward to the upgrade in his spiritual skills.

Li Tai saw Lin Xiao’s shocked expression and knew his ability had also mutated.

"Well? Any changes?"

"I can't describe it exactly, but I feel my ability has mutated, or rather evolved."

Liu Jiao and Zhou Tai exchanged glances, not knowing how to explain such a phenomenon.

Until now, an evolution of abilities had never happened.
