Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Fortunately, after being frozen over and over again, Lin Shen's resistance to freezing had become extremely high. The icy rays from the Ice Lotus could only freeze him within the block of ice and couldn't really harm him.

Of course, the main reason was that the Ice Lotus didn't intend to harm him, but merely wanted to trap him there and prevent him from leaving.

Every time Lin Shen was frozen, the Ice Lotus would pull him into its flower and help him melt the ice block, and incidentally give him a dose of its nectar to repair his body after being frozen.

In fact, Lin Shen had the ability to evolve from Evolution Theory, and he didn't really need the nectar to repair his body, but sadly the Ice Lotus couldn't understand human speech, so whatever Lin Shen said was in vain.

Although Lin Shen was somewhat resistant inwardly, the nectar was indeed very potent. Each dose basically provided him with four or five points to his Base Mutation Rate, which steadily increased Lin Shen's Base Mutation Rate.

One day, Lin Shen was idly strolling through Snow Valley, hoping to find an underground fissure or a subglacial river to quietly leave the area and avoid being trapped by Ice Lotus again.

He didn't find any underground rivers or big fissures, but he did see a small black beast poking its head out from a pile of snow, curiously sizing him up.

"There are other creatures in this place?" Lin Shen eyed the little beast with curiosity.

It looked somewhat like a mole, chubby and plump, about twice the size of a normal mole, with a pair of shiny black eyes that radiated clear stupidity, which actually made it look kind of cute.

Lin Shen watched it, and it watched Lin Shen, not the least bit afraid. It even climbed out of the snow pile, and perched on a nearby ice block, gazing down at Lin Shen from a higher point.

"Heaven has a path, yet you don't take it; Hell has no gate, yet you break in. Such blatant defiance against this young master, I really wouldn't do justice to your arrogance if I didn't deal with you," Lin Shen summoned the Holy Shield Dragon to catch the Base Mutation Creature.

The Holy Shield Dragon immediately spit out a circular shield, hurling it towards the mole.

Lin Shen had thought this little thing looked ordinary and therefore assumed it had a low level, but to his surprise, it spat out a propeller-like strange Life Base and flew straight towards the circular shield.

The high-speed spinning Life Base struck the circular shield, slashing a deep gash into it, nearly breaking the shield in half. Fortunately, the Holy Shield Dragon quickly retracted it, or else its Life Base would have been ruined.

Lin Shen was greatly surprised. Although the Holy Shield Dragon was only of Ascension Level, its Life Base's defensive capability was such that ordinary Nirvana Level beings found it difficult to crack in one blow.

That little creature's Life Base nearly shattered the shield in one strike, which was quite impressive.

"Is it at Ascension Level or Nirvana Level?" Lin Shen felt that its strength must be more than just Ascension Level, but since he didn't see it using the Power of Nirvana, he couldn't be sure for the time being.

Lin Shen quickly retracted the Holy Shield Dragon, fed it some Potion, and let it slowly recover in its capsule form.

At the same time, he summoned White Jade Knife and pointed to the mole that was now proudly dancing on the ice block, even shaking its booty. "Catch it for me."

White Jade Knife glanced at the little beast but frowned and said, "It's a Nirvana Creature, and it's highly evolved in Nirvana, not easy to handle."

"That little beast is a Nirvana Creature?" Lin Shen was somewhat surprised.

"You don't even know the level of the creature you want to hunt, and yet you dare to make a move? Do you wish for a shorter life?" Xiao Yu taunted. "Luckily this time it was just a Nirvana Creature, but if next time you encounter an Immortal Creature, I'd like to see how you handle it."

"Who knew with its stupidly cute appearance, it would turn out to be a Nirvana Creature," Lin Shen retorted stubbornly.

Xiao Yu couldn't be bothered with him and summoned the White Jade Fork, stabbing it into the void in the direction of the mole creature.

Instantly, a strange light flickered on the White Jade Fork, as if an invisible fork had pierced the mole creature's body, then started dragging it towards them.

The mole creature seemed extremely enraged and let out a piercing screech as a propeller-like Life Base flew over, emanating a black glow reminiscent of flaming wheels, passing in front of it.

It seemed as if something had been cut, the mole creature being pulled towards Xiao Yu came to a stop. Xiao Yu's arm jerked upwards as if the thing she was pulling on suddenly snapped, and she was clearly hurt by the snap.

Xiao Yu's expression darkened immediately as she summoned another White Jade Knife in her hand and threw it directly at the mole creature.

A ghost and a mole engaged in battle within Snow Valley, fighting so fiercely that it was hard to tell who would win.

Lin Shen watched in amazement; he knew how strong Xiao Yu's combat power was, and within the ranks of the Nirvana Level, there were not many who could battle against her.

This mole creature was actually managing to exchange blows with Xiao Yu, which was quite unexpected for Lin Shen, prompting him to examine it more carefully.

The mole creature was pitch black, like obsidian, except for its white tail, which resembled white gold.

It shone with a black light, moving rapidly through the air like lightning, repeatedly evading Xiao Yu's blade light and fork attacks. Its speed was quite fast, but it was still somewhat inferior to Xiao Yu's.

The reason Xiao Yu hadn't been able to defeat it mainly lay in its propeller-like Life Base.

The Life Base spun and danced, constantly revolving around the mole creature; whenever an attack came, the propeller would rush to block it.

Xiao Yu's blade light was incredibly strong, its attack power undoubtedly top-tier among those at the Nirvana Level, but when her blade light slashed at the propeller-like Life Base, it was instantly shredded.

Xiao Yu used a variety of skills to attack, but they were all in vain, each attempt shredded by the propeller Life Base.

"Interesting... Its Life Base's ability... it has a somewhat similar principle to my Scrap Sword Skill..." The more Lin Shen watched, the more it intrigued him.

The mole creature's Life Base was so formidable because, like the Scrap Sword Skill, it had a sawing effect.

However, the effect of this Life Base was even better than Lin Shen's Scrap Sword Skill.

Lin Shen's Scrap Sword Skill only had a one-time effect, whereas the mole creature's technique was like a chainsaw, continuously spinning with more destructive power and endurance.

A thought struck Lin Shen, "If my Scrap Sword Skill could also integrate such a technique, its destructive power and endurance would be significantly increased, and its might should see a tremendous boost."

"What a pity the Scrap Sword is just a sword; it can't spin like that on its own, but the Blade Qi slashed out should be able to achieve a similar effect. The key is, how to maintain the force without dissipating, which is not something ordinary skills can accomplish." As Lin Shen pondered, his eyes suddenly brightened, "That Hidden Strength Technique from the Martial Path Thirty-Six Stratagems could be just the solution to this problem."
